Most of my gaming time has been going to Animal Crossing: New Leaf lately, but tonight I made some time to play Kirby’s Adventure on the Wii U Virtual Console.
Tonight I completed the fourth and fifth worlds (Grape Garden and Yogurt Yard) and I made it partially through the sixth world (Orange Ocean). Each world has 5-6 levels, plus some bonus mini-games where you can earn extra lives or power-ups. I think I’ve mentioned this before, but I really like how the graphical style and color scheme changes multiple times within individual levels. Each room has a unique look. It’s a nice contrast to a lot of other NES games, where every level in a world looks exactly the same.
The game is still fairly easy overall, except for some of the boss fights. Kracko, the boss of the fourth world (Grape Garden) gave me a whole lot of trouble. Kracko is basically a cloud that has a giant eye. It chases you up a long vertial section, where you have to keep avoiding it, before you can get to the actual battle. It attacks with lightning and it’s quite tricky to beat. By contrast, the fifth world boss (Heavy Mole) is a digging machine that was very easy to beat:
I’m getting close to the end of the game, so I probably won’t post about it again until I’ve beaten it. I’ll see you next time.
