'''''Kirby's Dream Land''''' ({{ja|星のカービィ|Hoshi no Kābī}}, ''Kirby of the Stars'') is a 1992 platforming game developed by [[HAL Laboratory]] for the [[Nintendo]] Game Boy. It is the first game in the {{uv|Kirby}} series, and thus the debut game of [[Kirby]]. It is featured as a [[Masterpiece]] in {{forwiiu}}.
'''''Kirby's Dream Land''''' ({{ja|星のカービィ}}, ''Hoshi no Kābī'', Lit. "Kirby of the Stars") is a platforming video game developed by HAL Laboratory, Inc. and published by Nintendo for the [[Game Boy]] handheld video game console. It is both the first video game in the ''Kirby'' series and the debut of the Kirby character.


==In the ''{{b|Super Smash Bros.|series}}'' series==
''Kirby's Dream Land'' was designed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], then an employee of HAL Laboratory. Sakurai intended for ''Kirby's Dream Land'' to be a simple game that could be played by beginning gamers. As the inaugural ''Kirby'' title, ''Kirby's Dream Land'' created many conventions that would appear in later games in the series, including Kirby's basic moves. However, Kirby's trademark "copy" ability would not appear until ''Kirby's Adventure'', released less than one year later.
[[File:KirbysDreamLand.gif|thumb|left|Kirby using his signature {{b|Inhale|Kirby}}, both of which made their debut in ''Kirby's Dream Land''.]]
===Fighters===
Kirby and [[King Dedede]] both debuted in this game.


===Moves===
==Legacy==
Kirby's {{b|Inhale|Kirby}} and Star Spit attack come from this game. King Dedede's [[dash attack]], [[forward smash]], [[Inhale (King Dedede)|Inhale]], and [[Super Dedede Jump]] come from this game.
''Kirby's Dream Land'' has since spawned dozens of sequels across more than a half-dozen video game consoles. The first sequel was ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and was released on the Nintendo Entertainment System console. It introduced the ability to steal powers from enemies, an ability which has been used in the majority of games following it. Two titles were released afterwards sharing a similar title. The first was ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', also for the Game Boy. It takes the ability to steal powers from enemies introduced in ''Kirby's Adventure'', and adds the ability to ride on animals. The next and final similarly titled video game in the series was ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.


===Stages===
''Kirby's Dream Land'' has also appeared on several other consoles in some shape or form. In ''Kirby's Adventure'' (as well as its remake), Stage 7-6 is a heavily condensed version of this game, including black and white backgrounds, the Green Greens theme music, and similar enemies as well.
[[Dream Land (SSB)|Dream Land]] in [[Super Smash Bros.|SSB]] and [[Green Greens]] are both based off of the first level in the game, Green Greens. [[Dream Land GB]] in ''SSB4'' and ''[[Ultimate]]'' is based off of various levels in the game.


===Items===
''Kirby's Dream Land'' later made a more significant appearance in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, which is advertised as having "eight games in one" on the cover. The first of these games is Spring Breeze, which is a remake of ''Kirby's Dream Land''. Notable features not found in ''Kirby's Dream Land'' include the ability to steal powers from enemies and the ability to summon an enemy as a helper to aid Kirby in battle (a feature introduced in ''Kirby Super Star''). However, some content from ''Kirby's Dream Land'' is missing. It was later re-released as downloadable content in Japan through the Nintendo Power system.
[[Warp Star]]s are used to get to new areas in the game. The [[Apple]]s from the Green Greens stage in ''Melee'' are also used to defeat [[Whispy Woods]], the first boss of the game. The [[Superspicy Curry]] appears as an item in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]''. Also, the [[Maxim Tomato]] appears as an item in all games, though never healing all damage as it does in the Kirby series.


===Enemies===
''Kirby's Dream Land'' became a hit and a best seller for Game Boy selling over 1.45 million units in Japan alone
[[Waddle Dee]], [[Parasol Waddle Dee]], [[Waddle Doo]], [[Gordo]], [[Bronto Burt]] and [[Shotzo]] all appear as enemies in [[Smash Run]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]''. Whispy Woods appear on the stages Dream Land in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' and ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/ Wii U'', and Green Greens in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''.


===Music===
==''Super Smash Bros.'' series==
Songs from ''Kirby's Dream Land'' include {{MeleeMusic|Green Greens}} from ''Melee'' and {{SSB4MusicLink|Kirby|Green Greens Ver. 2}} from ''Smash 4'', two different orchestral renditions of the music for the game's opening stage of the same name; {{SSBBMusicLink|Kirby|King Dedede's Theme}} from ''Brawl'' and {{SSB4MusicLink|Kirby|King Dedede's Theme Ver. 2}} from ''Smash 4'', two arrangements of the music that plays at Mt. Dedede and when battling King Dedede; {{SSB4MusicLink|Kirby|Green Greens}}, {{SSB4MusicLink|Kirby|Castle Lololo}}, {{SSB4MusicLink|Kirby|Float Islands}}, {{SSB4MusicLink|Kirby|Bubbly Clouds}}, and {{SSB4MusicLink|Kirby|Mt. Dedede}}, the original Game Boy versions of all the game's stage themes, which in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate were compiled into the {{SSBUMusicLink|Kirby|Kirby Retro Medley}}; and {{SSBUMusicLink|Kirby|Staff Credits - Kirby's Dream Land}} from ''Smash Ultimate'', an arrangement of the game's credits theme along with that of [[Kirby Super Star]].

Kirby and [[King Dedede]], both of whom made their debut in this game, are playable [[character]]s in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' games, Kirby having appeared in all three of the games. In addition, the character [[Whispy Woods]], as well as the area known as [[Green Greens]], also appear in the series. Whispy Woods, along with Kirby, was also featured in all three games, though he was in the background of the ''Dream Land'' stage. Other characters like [[Waddle Dee (trophy)|Waddle Dee]] and [[King Dedede (trophy)|King Dedede]] are [[trophy|trophies]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Kirby's white costume and King Dedede's black costume are also based on how they appeared in this game. King Dedede's theme music is featured in ''Brawl''.
===Miscellaneous===
Kirby and King Dedede's gray alternate costumes are based on how they appeared in this game. Kirby's up [[taunt]] is the Kirby Dance, which first appeared in this game. His [[victory pose]]s are also variations of the Kirby Dance. Additionally, Kirby and King Dedede's [[victory theme]]s are a cover of the "Level Completed" music. [[Meta Knight]] has the same victory theme, but it is played in heavy-metal and in electric guitars.
