Version FINAL (1/1/02): The final update to be made to this FAQ.

Version 1.0 (6/10/00): This is the first version of this FAQ. It was once a 
part of the Ultimate Kirby Guide, but it is now a separate FAQ.

-=  2. Introduction -=
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Kirby's Dream Land is the very first Kirby game released for the Gameboy. It 
is a very basic game with 5 short levels and a bunch of pretty easy bosses. 
Since it's the first in the series, it obviously isn't that advanced as the 
newest in the Kirby series is today (different abilities, moves, etc.), it 
isn't really recommended you play this game unless you want to play a classic 
platform game for Gameboy.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

On a tiny star somewhere far, far away from earth, there is a very special 
place known as Dream Land. The Dream Landers are very happy people who use 
their magical sparkling stars to play and work among the heavens. That is 
until one night when the gluttonous King DeDeDe and his rotten band of thieves 
swooped down from neighboring Mt. DeDeDe for a midnight snack in Dream Land. 
Not only did they steal all their food, but they stole the Dream Landers' 
treasured Sparkling Stars as well.

Because the Dream Landers didn't have the Sparkling Stars to gather food 
anymore they began to get very hungry. Suddenly a spry little boy named Kirby 
happened along and said "Don't worry, I'll get your food and your Sparkling 
Stars back!" With these words, Kirby set off on his quest toward the dreaded 
Mt. DeDeDe. We wish him luck!

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

1-Up: When collected, you gain an extra life.

Bag of Magic Food: This allows you to recover all your vitality when
                   collected.

Candy: This treat lets you become invincible and able to run through and
       defeat enemies. It only lasts for a limited time, though.

Microphone: When you see one of these in the game, inhale it and spit it out
            to defeat all the enemies on the screen as you use it!

Mint Leaf: When used, Kirby floats indefinitely. He can shoot out air puffs
           endlessly with the leaf, too.

Pep Brew: This small bottle replenishes your vitality by two. They are about
          the most common of the items throughout the game.

Sparkling Star: This "item" only appears after you defeat one of the bosses.
                You MUST take it to advance to the following level.

Spicy Food: This spicy dish gives Kirby the power to spit out fireballs at a
            VERY rapid pace, killing any enemies that come in contact with
            them. Unfortunately, it only lasts a limited amount of time.

Warp Star: When you get on one, it brings you to the next area of a stage.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Wispy Woods
    Found: Stage 1
    Strategy: This big tree seems to be the first boss in a lot of Kirby
              games. The trick to defeating him is simple; inhale the apples
              that fall from his leaves and blast them back at him. Put an end
              to his evil ways and he cries because you beat him.

Lololo and Lalala
    Found: Stage 2
    Strategy: This infamous duo will pop out of a series of doors and push
              their little bricks towards you. You can sneak up behind them
              and blast them with their own bricks. Three hits each and
              they'll blow up, as well as the castle.

Kaboola
    Found: Stage 3
    Strategy: This gal is a blimp! Avoid her cannonballs and spit air pellets
              at her. When she flashes, she'll dash at you. Avoid her when she
              dashes and keep spitting air pellets at her. It takes thirty
              hits to make this blimp run away, to be seen again only once.

Kracko
    Found: Stage 4
    Strategy: This boss isn't that hard. Just inhale the Waddle Doos he tosses
              at you and blast them back at him. Watch out, as Kracko will
              also try to zap you with his favorite lightning! If you stay at
              the highest corner, Kracko can't damage you. Six hits and he'll
              explode into a BLITHERING mess!

King Dedede
    Found: Stage 5
    Strategy: King Dedede is pretty easy. All you gotta do is wait for him to
              release a star when he smashes down by jumping or swinging his
              hammer down. Inhale the star that he releases and fire it back
              at him. It takes ten hits to defeat King Dedede. On the final
              blow, he will be blown out of the castle!
