The art style is also heavily modified, focusing on more vivid photorealistic scenery and backgrounds when compared to the NES original. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is a full overhaul of Kirby’s Adventure, with a new engine and entirely re-done 16 bit graphics, music, and sound. This game also introduced a redesigned logo for the Kirby series which would remain largely unchanged until Kirby and the Forgotten Land, 20 years later. A new Extra Game starring Meta Knight was also added as an unlockable mode, called Meta Knightmare. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land was released around the debut of the anime Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, which is reflected by the art style used on the North American commercial and its box art. The game features new and redesigned Sub-Games, all of which have up to 4-player support through multiplayer. It was developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo in 2002 by HAL Laboratory and Nintendo, and would later be ported to the Wii U’s Virtual Console in 2014. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is a remake of Kirby’s Adventure for the Game Boy Advance.
