Light years away, .......... on a tiny star not visible from Earth, is the magical, peaceful placeknown as Dream Land. The beings that inhabit this wondrous world live in ablissful existence that centers on eating, sleeping and playing. An exampleof their care-free customs include the traditional after-lunch feast nap.After they awaken from their nap, the Dream Landers discuss their dreams andfervently hope that each other's fondest wishes come true.One day, a young Dream Lander named Kirby awoke from his after-lunch nap feel-ing terrible. "What happened?" he wondered to himself. "I didn't have anydreams during my lunch nap!" This lack of dreams left Kirby feeling very un-easy. After talking to some of his friends, he found that the problem was muchmore serious than he had thought, for they had not experienced any dreamseither! "Something must have happened to the Dream Spring!" they exclaimed inunison.The Dream Spring is a magical well that is a reservoir for all the dreams ofthe inhabitants of Dream Land. Dreams also flow out of the Dream Spring andenvelop Dream Land, granting all sleeping beings enjoyable dreams.Legends told that the Dream Spring was created by a magical artifact known asthe Star Rod. The sparkling star on the tip of this scepter was an actualfragment of a star that had landed in Dream Land in the distant past. The StarRod now provided energy to the Dream Spring and served as the very symbol ofDream Land.The lack of dreams made everyone in Dream Land feel restless and irritable.The joyful laughter that had once resounded throughout Dream Land could nolonger be heard at all. Things were bleak. Kirby, the roly-poly hero of DreamLand, boldly announced his intention to investigate the Dream Spring and findthe cause of all the trouble.Upon reaching the Dream Spring, who did he find but King Dedede, bathing in its magical waters! In the past (see Kirby's Dream Land for Game Boy(r)), KingDedede had caused mischief in Dream Land by stealing all the Dream Landers'food and Sparkling Stars. Now, in the middle of the Dream Spring, in place ofthe Star Rod, sat Dedede, covered with bubble bath."So, you're up to your old tricks again, eh, Dedede?!" accused Kirby."What are you talking about, young pudge ball?" Dedede looked surprised. "Ithought I'd do everyone a favor by...""No, no no!" Kirby shook his head. "I won't listen to your tricks! What haveyou done with the Star Rod?!""Oh, that old thing," Dedede said nonchalantly. "I broke it into seven piecesand gave each piece to one of my friends...""What was Dedede thinking?!" Kirby wondered. Before hearing any more of whatDedede had to say, Kirby set off on the long trek to gather the pieces of theStar Rod and return them to the Dream Spring. Hopefully, he could return thesparkly to the Dream Spring so that the people of Dream Land could again enjoytheir happy midday naps.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------How to use the controllerLeft, Right: Walk, run (press twice)Up: fly, enter doorsDown: squat, swallow, slide (+A button or +B button)Select: Drop enemy's ability.Start: Pause - interrupts gameB: Inhale, puff outA: jump, swim---Getting startedCorrectly insert the cartridge into the Nintendo Entertainment System.
