An evil forced named Dark Matter has stolen the Rainbow Bridges that connect the Rainbow Islands, and possessed King Dedede in order to take over Dream Land. It's up to Kirby and his 3 animal friends to defeat Dark Matter. However, in order to truly get rid of the evil doer, you need to collect a Rainbow Drop from each island. If you don't get them, you'll still defeat the possessed King Dedede at the end, but in the credits, Dark Matter's silhouette appears with question marks where his name should be. Don't you want to get rid of the real bad guy? Of course you do!
Gameplay in Kirby's Dream Land 2 is easy to get the hang of. A is jump, B is inhale/spit, and pressing up while jumping lets Kirby float around. He can also shoot out puffs of air while flying to defeat weaker enemies. Throughout the levels, there are different kinds of enemies, and a lot of them have unique powers that Kirby can absorb. Press B to suck in the enemy, then press down on the d-pad and he'll take their power if they have one. Kirby can gain abilities like having an umbrella to help him float and defend from air attacks, a fireball that lets him dash through enemies and objects, needles that let him essentially turn into a porcupine, a boomerang and several others. But the star of the game is the ability to get an animal friend to help you out. Rick the hamster, Coo the owl and Kine the fish are all here to help Kirby, with each one having their own obvious benefits. Rick is great on land and can't slip on ice, Coo flies and is so good that the game is super easy if you keep him around at all times, and Kine makes swimming easier but is very slow on land. And as I mentioned earlier, they all have their own takes on Kirby's powers. Where Kirby would just have one boomerang that goes in front of him, Coo shoots three feathers in a spread shot that is VERY useful for taking out multiple enemies and obstacles. Kine's version of lightning lets him charge a lightbulb in his mouth, then shoot it forward when B is released, and you can detonate it by pressing B again, making a kind of explosive shield. It's a blast seeing all the powers for the animals, and I still get a kick out of seeing Rick's rock power where he turns into a boulder and Kirby rolls it with his feet.
The game never gets very difficult, but it's never so easy to the point where you get bored...unless you want to be cheap and keep Coo around. I love that owl and all, but since you keep the animal friends until their health is reduced to zero or you get rid of them yourself, a lot of people will want to keep them since they act as extra health too. The stages are varied and get longer as the game goes on, with some leaving a little room for exploration instead of being linear. And figuring out which power to have in order to get out the Rainbow Drops from their storage rooms can be a little bit of a challenge. But hey, these days you can just look up an FAQ or walk through video and figure it out, but back in the mid-90s, this was tricky! People who love the old Mario games, especially Super Mario World will love Kirby's Dream Land 2.
The graphics and music are both fantastic, with this being one of the first games that I really wanted a soundtrack cd of (the first being Donkey Kong Country of course). But there's one nitpick I have with it, and it's that if you have one of the animals with you, the normal stage music is replaced by their theme. All three of the animals have cool themes, but hearing the same music for every stage gets old, and there were times when I'd turn the volume off because of it. Still, there's not a bad track on here, and Coo's theme is still one of my favorites to this day. Man, that bird really has it all, doesn't he?
What else can I say? The only bad things about this game are little nitpicks that I had. It can be cleared in a relatively short time, has a great variety of stages and powers to get, and is a perfect game to play on the go. No GameBoy collection is complete without Kirby's Dream Land 2. I know the chances are slim, but if they could re-release the game and fix the animal theme takeover problem I had, color it up to look like the SNES Kirby games, and maybe add a few more levels, I'd have no problem buying it all over again.
This was one of the games I traded my stupid GameGear to play. Package was perfect. It arrived on time (I was a tad scared cause of Hurricane Irma). The game looks excellent, plays perfect - overall a great purchase.
Thank you so much!!! Now excuse me as I save Dreamland!

Even after cleaning the game, it was still too damaged.
Had to get another one off of ebay instead.
