''Kirby's Dream Land'' introduced several trademark elements of Kirby's ability, including his ability to inflate his spherical body to fly upwards, the ability to inhale enemies into his mouth, and being able to effectively erase enemies out of existence within his own tiny body by swallowing. But the first ''Kirby'' sequel Sakurai developed, ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Adventure}}'' for the NES, added a much more expansive variety and depth to the basic formula and design; in addition to giving Kirby more fluid movements such as dashing and sliding, it added a new dimension to the swallowing mechanic where Kirby would gain one of many available new powers and attack sets depending on the enemy swallowed, and Kirby could discard this "[[Copy Ability]]" to adopt something else. | ''Kirby's Dream Land'' introduced several trademark elements of Kirby's ability, including his ability to inflate his spherical body to fly upwards, the ability to inhale enemies into his mouth, and being able to effectively erase enemies out of existence within his own tiny body by swallowing.

''Kirby'' was established as one of Nintendo's long-running, recurring franchises, and became more-or-less one of HAL Laboratory's signature properties, with new releases coming out at a relatively regular rate and, other than the Virtual Boy, covering every Nintendo console and handheld since its debut. ''Kirby'' games have made occasional forays into certain other genres besides 2D platformers, and while almost none of the ''Kirby'' follow-ups were as noteworthy-for-their-time as the first two games, most games in the series receive positive reception and achieve high sales. Like with other Nintendo franchises that had found mainstream success at the time, Kirby and his series were among the initial wave of franchises featured from the beginning of Sakurai's other popular series, the ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' series of Nintendo-centered crossover fighting games. | ''Kirby'' was established as one of Nintendo's long-running, recurring franchises, and became more-or-less one of HAL Laboratory's signature properties, with new releases coming out at a relatively regular rate and, other than the Virtual Boy, covering every Nintendo console and handheld since its debut.
