Twenty years ago, Masahiro Sakurai and HAL Laboratory released Kirby’s Dreamland for the original GameBoy. Meant for first-time players of action games, Kirby was designed to be easily accessible, not to mention likable, for gamers of all ages. You can’t get much more approachable than a pink squishy ball with a face. With its unique, simple, fast paced gameplay and stellar platforming, the little goo-ball sparked a franchise still thriving to this very day.
