Basic Game Information

the first game in the Kirby series ever ,released in 1992.Intended it to be a simple game that could be easy to pick up and play by those unfamiliar with action games, it's the only Kirby game that Kirby don't have the ability to absorb enemy's power.

this games usually consider as one of the easiest games to pick up for speedruns due to its simplistic controls and very short gameplay, but it's also very notorious in terns of the randomness of the boss that makes it the most RNG-heavy game in the entire series. Luckily, this game's RNG value advances rather consistently so that runners can checking which value they are on and allows then to manipulate it in their Favour .So Nowadays some top runners would carry RNG manipulation for early part of the games and its boss fight and a few of them can ever carry it throughout the entire run, thus the world record of this game is 1 of the most optimized in the series.
