Gonna advise against Nightmare in Dream Land if Kirby's Adventure is available to you (NES, Virtual Console, Mini Classic Edition). NiDL is one of those games that looked cool at the time but in retrospect the original plays so much better. They add so many frames of animation meaning there's tons of input lag they hadn't ironed out in later Kirby games of this style, which makes most abilities an unsatisfactory chore to use, the opposite of how it should be (one or two abilities like Ball are more user-friendly by having it bounce off the top of the screen but no one used that). Also, the music sounds off-tempo and the game is much easier, with bosses becoming slow and cumbersome, especially Meta Knight who used to be a test of reflexes but can now be defeated by button-mashing even at half health. Even HAL seems to want to forget this remake since they represent Butter Building with its hardware-impressive rotating towers as the NES version in later games (it was replaced with boring static rooms on GBA, possibly because the backgrounds noonger have animated details or because it was rushed). The 3D Classics remake on 3DS eShop is better, it retains GBA performance improvements like slowdown reduction and gap-dash consistency.
