Kirby: Dream in Nightmare Land

Kirby: Dream in Nightmare Land is the first part in the Kirby: Dream Chronicles trilogy. It follows the events of Kirby and Meta Knight being sent into another world by an evil genie, and joining forces with a group of adventurers to save this new world; Nightmare Land.

Plot
King Dedede discovers an anicent genie known as Gudae the Star Genie. Gudae offers the king 5 wishes. Dedede uses one to disrid the land of all of his enemies, thus making Kirby, Meta Knight, and many others dissapear into another dimension. Soon they meet Keeby, Crispy, Sparky, and Misty, a team of adventuring Superstars searching for the Dream Star; the force that keeps dimensions in peace. So Kirby and the others set out to find all 5 shards and restore order to the worlds, and Dedede.

Gameplay
The gameplay is basically the same as Kirby's Return to Dreamland, with some changes. The biggest change biggest change being the extended Playable Cast, with the player being able to play through a whole level as someone other than Kirby. Unlike in most Kirby games, Kirby's Copy Ability does not work, instead he collects Essences, much like in Milky Way Wishes. There are also some new abillities, and a level-up system, allowing Characters can learn new skills. Unlike other Kirby games, this game relies heavily on story-telling, so there are many more cutscenes, and talking in levels.

Other Characters
King Dedede: The Self-proclaimed ruler of Dream Land. He acquires the ancient bottle which holds the wish-granting genie; Gudae, and uses it to gain full control of Planet Popstar. However, he does not realize he is not the one in actual control.

Gudae: The Star Genie. He is an ancient genie freed from a bottle by King Dedede. He grants wishes for Dedede, but is actually taking control over him. The more wishes granted, the more menacing he becomes.

Bandana Dee: Also called Bandee for short, he is King Dedede's right hand man. He doesn't trust Gudae at all, and retreats to Nightmare Land to find Kirby later in the game.

Kimmy: Kirby's half stalker half girl-friend. She first meets Kirby in Nightmare Land, and instantly falls for him. Despite being aware that Kirby doesn't understand love, and generally isn't interested, she still follows him, hoping that he'll one day return her feelings.

Sturdy: Kimmy's grandfather. When he was young he was a member of the Dream Crusaders, the legendary heroes of Nightmare Land. His age however has caught-en up with him, and he sports a long bird, and requires a cane. He however seems lively enough to spring up in the strangest of places through-out Nightmare Land, and give hints.
