Official description

Dream Land is in peril! An evil king has stolen the magic Twinkle Stars. If they're not recovered, the people of Dream Land will starve. Enter Kirby! He's a roly-poly hero, out to run, jump, float and swim in search of the treasured Twinkle Stars. He'll puff his way through castles, caves, dungeons and forests. In his path are many wicked and greedy enemies, but Kirby has a special way to defeat them! It's non-stop action all the way to the top of Mt. Dedede!

This is kinda cool..not alot as far as gameplay, but is kinda addictive. the music isn't great, the graphix are big and clear, the control is decent, and it's cool when you get swords and and fly around :). Although this game is cool, i would only recommend buying the cart after ya try it 1st..it may not be for everyone :)
