Frosty is actually used, but in a very obscure behavior that most players will not see: If he doesn't have enough room behind him to walk backwards to toss an ice cube (by carefully tricking him into stopping right before hitting a wall), it will fall on his head with this animation, and cause him to ram forwards into the wall.Īpparently, the crane game was originally supposed to give you three credits, as evidenced by the presence of a '3' with the rest of the numeral graphics. The Rolling Turtle graphic is strange – perhaps he could hide in his shell during battle? graphic is similar to his normal death frame, but his feet are on the ground. Two of these three frames aren't shown in-game at all. The largest level hub only has six stages in it, rendering this unused. This is much darker than the HUD used in-game and the graphics are very different.Ī 7th stage door graphic. The level intro tileset seems to contain graphics for an early version of the level hub HUD. This icon was also restored and used in the 3DS port.īanks 13 and 50 contain an unused dark room tileset! They are assigned to graphics set 22 and would have used palettes 8B-91, all of which are stored immediately after the ones used in-game (graphics set 21, palettes 84-8A). It was meant to be used when Kirby hopped into a cannon and, oddly enough, is used in the French and the European versions!

As the song is only played for a short time, the percussion part is unused.Īn untranslated duplicate of the invincibility icon, stored in bank 14. However, there is more to the song, as the song eventually loops a part 2 times, and then eventually removes an instrument, leaving only percussion playing. The song only plays around for 19 seconds before stopping. The song 'Fountain of Dreams' plays after Kirby defeats King Dedede, obtains the Star Rod, while Dedede is begging for Kirby, and Kirby puts the Star Rod in the fountain, which causes to release Nightmare. It was remade in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance as Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, followed by a 3DS port in 2011 as 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure, using the original NES resources with minor differences like depth effects. It has a great amount of unused content, too – some of which would be recycled for future Kirby games. Kirby's Adventure is one of the most graphically-advanced games released for the NES, released near the end of the console's life cycle.
