''Kirby's Dream Land'' (known as Hoshi no Kābī 星のカービィ in Japan) is a 1992 video game that was released for the GameBoy. It was also released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2011 and appeared in ''Kirby's Dream Collection''. It was Kirby's first adventure. The story is that King Dedede and his followers steal Dream Land's food and the Sparkling Star that used to harvest them. Kirby sets off and rescues the food and the star from King Dedede.

!!The game is the TropeNamer for:
* BubblyClouds

!!The game also features the following tropes:
* {{Acrofatic}}: Not only is King Dedede fat, he moves very fast.
* BigBad: King Dedede, again.
* BigBoosHaunt: Castle Lololo.
* BubblyClouds: The second half of stage 3 and also stage 4.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: You can't copy abilities, slide, or save progress after beating a stage.
* NintendoHard: The extra mode can be very punishing to unfamiliar players. Enemy damage is doubled and they move faster, enemies have newer strategies and the final boss moves faster. New enemies have been added in place of older enemies.
* OneHitKill: Something that is rare for a Kirby game: Touching the Gordos in Mt. Dedede instantly kills Kirby, regardless of how much HP he had.
* PalmtreePanic: Float Islands (the first half).
* TheLostWoods: Green Greens.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Whispy Woods in Extra Mode. He drops Gordos, which do three units of damage out of six. And while he does that, you need to look for apples to fire at him. He's arguably the hardest boss in Extra Mode.
