<languages/>==Summary==

&emsp;Kirby's Dream Land 2 (commonly called KDL2) was originally released on the Game Boy in 1995 and had since been ported to Kirby's Dream Collection (Wii), the 3DS Virtual Console, and the Nintendo Switch Online service. This was the first Kirby game to introduce the animal friends (those being Rick the hamster, Coo the owl, and Kine the fish) and is also the first Kirby game to have multiple endings. You can receive the "bad" ending by defeating King Dedede without collecting the Rainbow Drops while the best ending can be acquired by collecting the seven rainbow drops in each world and defeating Dark Matter, a new boss after King Dedede.

==Rules==

===Run Start and Run End===

&emsp;Pretty straight forward rules for running this game. Time starts on clicking a file with 0% completed and the time ending will depend on the category you are playing. Any% times end on the final hit of King Dedede, Best Ending ends on the final hit on Dark Matter, and 100% ends at the end of the "best ending" credits and "The End" shows up on screen.<br/>

===General Rules===

*The allowed Game Boy Emulators are bgb and Gambatte. All other emulators are banned. <br/>

*All emulator added functions are not allowed. This includes save states, turbo, speedup, rewinds, etc. <br/>

*Currently turbo controllers are not allowed due to strict advantages gained from using one, however discussion about turbo controllers has been brought up every now and again.<br/>

*If running 100%, show the 100% file completed at the end of the run.<br/>

==Platforms==

&emsp;You are able to play this game on a various amount of platforms due to re-releases, however a lot of these releases do not match the original framerate on original hardware or have the same load times. Currently it is believed that playing on Wii U is the fastest way to play the game and saves somewhere between 5 to 10 seconds compared to GB in the Any% category, however more testing needs to be done. Here is what we currently believe to be the fastest to slowest versions to play the game: <br/>

&emsp;If you play on the Super Game Boy 1 (SGB1), you must convert your times using http://nudua.com/convert. This is because the SGB1 uses the clock speed of the SNES, not the GB, and runs 2.4% faster (https://kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Super_Game_Boy_timing).

&emsp;KDL2 is overall a pretty simple game in the series compared to some of the other games, but we still want to make learning the game as smooth of a process as possible. Especially with some of the tricky learning curves, we also wanted to give the proper resources to optimal strats, easy strats, middling strats, backup strats, and of course some hella Baller strats 😎.
