Kirby's Dream Land (GB)

[A Black Falcon]

This from the guy that recommends garbage platformers like Chuck Rock and Wonder Dog. :P

Anyway, because it's a really solid platformer with tight controls, creative stages, and fun moves? Not to mention great graphics and music.

Hah, yeah, Kirby 64 is kind of boring, but it's better than games like those two for sure.

I'm in the 'Kirby 64 was boring' camp. I tried really hard to like it, but I just couldn't get into it. Not really sure why, honestly, just didn't click with me.

Kirby's Dream Land, however, is an amazing game that everyone should play at least once.

True, but I'd say that Kirby 1, 2, and Adventure are all must-play titles really... Super Star (or Super Star Ultra) too perhaps, and for the spinoffs Pinball, Dream Course, Block Ball, and Canvass Curse should be played for sure. Kirby and the Amazing Mirror and Kirby's Epic Yarn are solid games as well, for the newer platformers. But I probably do like the 8-bit ones best, both for nostalgia and gameplay reasons...

This is highly debatable. Even though Kirby had more attacks on Super Star, the game played much slower and had a far worse level design than Adventure in my opinion. It's still a great game, just not nearly as good as Adventure.

True, but I like Kirby 2 just as much as Adventure...
