As with its predecessor ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', ''Kirby's Adventure'' continues the usual 2D platformer gameplay with Kirby's ability to float, inhale and spit out his enemies. In addition to his usual moves, he now gains the ability to perform a sliding attack, dash, and swim in different directions. Debuting in this game are Copy Abilities, which can be obtained from certain enemies when Kirby inhales and swallows them. Copy Abilities give Kirby different kinds of moves depending on the ability, allowing him to easily dispatch enemies from afar, gain faster movement options, or interact with certain objects like stakes and cannon fuses. However, taking damage at any point will cause Kirby to drop his ability as an Ability Star, which he must inhale and swallow again to obtain before it bounces away or is destroyed.

Additionally, several core stage and gameplay mechanics seen throughout the ''Kirby'' series would also debut in this game. This includes interactable stage objects like cannons and Bomb Blocks, an expanded level structure that uses an explorable hub with different stages, among others. Sub-Games and Goal Game are introduced in this game as well, with the player able to play three different sub-games (Egg Catcher, Crane Fever, and Quick Draw) in addition to extra modes including "VS. Boss!", a boss rush mode.

Not everything is well in Dream Land. For some mysterious reason, the Dream Spring, a magical well that is the reservoir for all the dreams of the citizens of Dream Land, is no longer working. Everyone is being subjected to their worst nightmares every time they go to sleep. Upon reaching the Dream Spring, Kirby finds out that evil King Dedede has stolen the Star Rod, thus depriving Dream Land of the magical energy that feeds its spring.

Using over 20 unique tricks and your ability to steal your enemies' powers by swallowing them, you'll have to make your way through a horrific land filled with all kinds of nightmares.

Recover the broken pieces of the Star Rod, and everyone in Dream Land will sleep peacefully once again. If you fail, the citizens of Dream Land will be subjected to a lifetime of terrible nightmares.
