I played through the second half of Kirby's Adventure in a little over an hour. I am amazed at how much things have changed - the new zelda's first two hours are merely training for the "real" game while in this game the whole experience can be completed within two hours.
The design qualities changed somewhat during the second half of the game. The level design got much more difficult to follow, but it was intentionally confusing for the player. I feel that the use of constant bosses is a bit of a cheap trick rather then creating more complex levels near the end, but none the less the final two bosses were quite a bit different from the rest of the game.
The infinite continues feature was very helpful, since this game would be nearly impossible to complete on a first try otherwise. It was very enjoyable and I thought the platforming was interesting and well designed. There was one issue, on a few of the levels there were whole areas that could be dodged by merely flying over all of the enemies, and considering the fact which other people pointed out about there really being no point to the score there really is no incentive to fight all of the enemies in these areas.

I have played through the gameboy (original) kirby game so i had a bit of an idea of what to expect from the game. That having been said I was very impressed with the overall quality of the game. Though the graphics are dated now they are fine for the time. The thing that catches me is the level design. It is brilliant and a world above that of the first two mario games. The levels are usually not to difficult but provide a lot of variety surrounding Kirby's unique abilities that he aquires from sucking in his opponents like the vacuum cleaner he is no doubt named after.
On another note the game used a lot of ideas that were later used for Super Mario World, such as the level design of the haunted areas. It expanded on the original gameboy game extensively, with better attacks and enemies as well as more complex boss fights. Some of the powers are unfair compared to others, such as the ice attack which is extremely lethal compared to any other weapon because it has a ice blasting area around the main character that protects Kirby and destroys most enemys, even bosses.
After having played for a little over an hour I think i have reached about half way through the game, and I am impressed so far, I'm hoping that the rest of the game will hold up to the quality of the first half...
