About the game

The lovable Kirby returns to the Game Boy! This time the bridges connecting the Rainbow Islands have disappeared and King Dedede is to blame as always... or is he? The evil Dark Matter has him under his control and plans to turn Dream Land into a dark world. Kirby's goal is to get the fabled Rainbow Sword and defeat him!

Kirby's Dream Land 2 is a platform game and the sequel to Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Adventure . Kirby is like no other platform game character of its time however, as he can fly without the need of power-ups and can swallow enemies to get their powers. In addition to that, Kirby can now team up with his friends: Rick the hamster, Kine the fish, and Coo the owl. Each team-up has its advantages and disadvantages, although Kirby always retains his ability to swallow enemies, altering the various powers he can get into completely different ones depending on the power/friend combination.
