Kirby's Adventure: Nightmare in Dreamland for the NES is my favorite entry. The sprites are excellent, I love the overworld between levels, the music is top notch, and it's one of the few NES games with an autosave and progress meter.
Kirby Superstar for the SNES revisited the game, but it dropped the overworld, the music isn't quite as good, and the powers don't really feel right. They did include some newer abilities and co-op, which is nice, but it feels more disjointed than the original.
Kirby's adventure feels really modern for an NES game, still holds up great to this day. The difficulty is also closer to what people are used to nowadays, compared to the punishing difficulty of many NES games. One of the few NES games I played through completely.
That's a good point. It kind of stands timeless in that regard, much like Chrono Trigger.
This was the first (and one of the few) game I completed to 100%. It took me so long to find the masr warp zone!
I did not play the last Kirby on the switch, but is definetly in my list
