[TAS] GB Kirby's Dream Land by MUGG & Alyosha in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/4978M
TAS originally published on 2022-12-06
There's trouble in Dream Land! The self-appointed King Dedede has stolen all of his subjects' food for a midnight feast. Kirby, a resident of Dream Land, bravely sets out to stop the gluttonous penguin and recover the food.
This first game in the Kirby series predates Kirby's ability to absorb enemy powers. He goes on to gain that ability in the second game ( tasvideos.org/701M ) in the series.
This run takes more real-time than the previous publication ( tasvideos.org/1539M ) due to improvements in emulator accuracy; the gameplay difference is a roughly 2 second improvement. This run also uses the 'Extra Game' password (up+select+A at title screen), which makes the enemies and bosses much more aggressive and damaging than usual.
--------
Watch this run being played back on a real console ( • TAS - Kirby's Dream La... ).

Whispy Woods when getting damaged looks like he applied lipstick while in a rush

Trans tree be like

[@leegantel461]

i like how at the end, kirby saw king dedede crying and tried to cheer him up

[@jeremyjw]

imagine being a kid you just got a new game from the store you're playing it in the car ride home nine minutes later " i'm done " " what do you mean , you're done ? " " i just beat the game "

[@Bartholamue]

This game doesn't take that long to beat regardless. My friend beat it the first day he got it when he was a kid.

[@CopShowGuy]

That literally happened to a friend of mine when he was a kid.

[@GreyMaria]

No joke, this might have been a more fun watch in grayscale.

[@TheUltimateRare]

depends what you grew up with really.

[@prosewolf]

Good job on the Extra Game Plus option. Very entertaining.

[@shawnruby7011]

I didnt realize i beat this as a kid until i saw the end boss

[@kchrules775]

This super weird color pallet brings me back

[@darkrena]

With that color pallet, might as well call it Kirby's Pissland

[@valeria2712]

Or Kirby's Hell (i know im not funny)

[@Koettnylle]

Actuallyyyyyy, Kirby's Piss Land is the name of the sequel

[@valeria2712]

@@Koettnylle Like i said. Im not funny

[@Koettnylle]

@@valeria2712 You're allright, don't sweat it

Kirby's Wetland: Leaker's Edition.

[@luckytyphlosion9910]

this should have been recorded in greyscale

[@xboxgamer474246]

This might as well be an official Kaizo game

[@davidthecommenter]

bro kracko's boss in extra mode is madness

[@possumorb3770]

​@@davidthecommenter Kracko? What about Kabula!?

[@davidthecommenter]

@@possumorb3770 unlike kracko, i actually beat kabula.

[@spriteknight9893]

@@davidthecommenterYou can actually beat Kracko without taking damage if you understand his strategies. All you really have to do is stay in the left corner and when he charges at you, just jump but you gotta time it right.

[@Kamawan0]

But it doesn't have any kaizo blocks.

[@RyneMcKinney]

How does the Game Boy Color know how to assign Kirby's current color scheme on a game that came out 6 years before the system

[@RT55J]

Game Boy games contain their name in the header. The GBC is able to read that name and automatically assign a specific palette by default (using some hash function IIRC).

[@PackSciences]

mugg is great!

[@SmoggyLambGG]

Spring Breeze! ... in 8-bit.

[@Tsu_Hatori]

the way you move makes it seem like the 2022 game

[@_thresh_]

Poor wispy Kirby made him cry blood and bleed in his mouth

[@stevenpavelish6017]

Creepy!

[@Tsu_Hatori]

7:08 hehe

[@jennasloan396]

Where'd all the color come from?

[@SirVG]

Certain button combinations when starting the SGB/GBP gave color schemes to GB games.

[@jennasloan396]

@@SirVG so is this being played back on the Super Game Boy instead of a normal Game Boy then?

[@TheUltimateRare]

@@jennasloan396 pretty much yeah. those Em's probably also have an option to go this color as well. which is likely where this is being ran from.

[@xxsupersayen34xxnoe33]

I remember reading that the super gameboy ran gameboy games a little bit faster, maybe that's why they've chosen this colour palette, or maybe they just liked it better that way

[@ItzKirbo]

Poyo!!

[@NyghtsApocolypse]

I feel this can be optimized a bit better.

[@mariocursed]

este juego siempre me parecio la beta de kirby's adventure

[@TheUltimateRare]

looks like you can't get power ups (copies) in this kirby game. not a bad thing, it's just how the old kirby's were.

[@conicthehedgehog9166]

This is the only Kirby game where u can't copy habilitys

[@TheUltimateRare]

@@conicthehedgehog9166 well back when we were kids in my gen all old games were pretty basic like old kirby here.

[@fastlane250]

this is the default palette the GBC assigns to Kirby's Dream Land on bootup, so blame Nintendo for the color choices.

O Kaizo estremo
