''Kirby's Dream Land'' (known as ''Hoshi no Kirby'' in Japanese, meaning "Kirby of the Stars") is a 1992 UsefulNotes/GameBoy game developed by Creator/{{Nintendo}} subsidiary Creator/HALLaboratory. It is the first game of the ''Franchise/{{Kirby}}'' series. The story is simple: The [[VillainousGlutton gluttonous]] King Dedede and his minions have stolen all of Dream Land's food and the Sparkling Stars used to harvest it, so Kirby sets off to right these wrongdoings and get the food back.

* ColorWash: The UsefulNotes/SuperGameBoy is precoded to play this game with a pinkish-red palette by default, reflecting Kirby's pink and red color scheme. This palette remained the same in the west despite Kirby being white-skinned on the boxart, likely because a grayscale palette would be counter-intuitive to the SGB's gimmick of playing Game Boy games in color. Likewise, the Game Boy Color has a special preset palette for this game where foreground objects are pinkish-red and background objects are yellow-green.

New enemies have been added in place of some weaker enemies. Also, you can set the health and extra lives counter all the way down to one--one slip up, and it's all the way back to the title screen!

** You can't copy abilities, dash, slide, swim, or save progress after beating a stage. It's just simple suck-and-spit attacks, and inhaling multiple enemies at once doesn't let Kirby spit a more powerful star that goes through all enemies on the screen. On top of that, King Dedede is the BigBad in this game rather than simply possessed or fighting Kirby due to a misunderstanding.

* CulturalTranslation: In Japanese, one of the power-ups Kirby can get is the Sweet Potato, which -- true to real life -- gives Kirby the hiccups, which causes him to get stuck in his inflated state and allows him to rapidly fire off air bullets. Since it was felt that non-Japanese audiences wouldn't understand this connection, Nintendo of America named it the Mint Leaf and explained that it lets Kirby defeat enemies with "minty-fresh breath" (though the sprite was unchanged, despite hardly looking like a leaf). This difference has carried over to every subsequent game that features the power-up, with 3D games giving it [[https://tcrf.net/Kirby:_Triple_Deluxe#Kirby_Fighters a distinct model]] for the international versions.
