Kirby's Dream Land 2 (1995)

Rick, Coo and Kine change how Kirby handles the same small spaces, turning an animal friend's silhouette into useful information about movement. Their combinations with copied powers add variety without requiring a crowded set of buttons. The result expands the first game's readable platforming rather than simply squeezing more action into it. Completing the deeper ending involves finding the Rainbow Drops, and some of those requirements are much less obvious than the ordinary route. A casual clear and full discovery are different commitments.
