Kirby's Dream Land

Kirby's Dream Land is the game that introduced the world to the hungry pink puffball.

Waddle Doo
An unused frame of Waddle Doo looking up.

Arrow
A sideways arrow meant to be used in the code screens. This is used in the Japanese version, but not the international versions.

King Dedede
King Dedede facing the screen with his hands on the sides of his face. Given the dark coloration, these may have been intended for a boss introduction, possibly one involving him coming in from the (unlit) side of his wrestling ring.

Kana
These kana are lurking in the US version's tileset for the cutscene following the end credits. The first five are katakana, and translate to "ta", "i", "ru", "ko", and "a." The last four are hiragana, and translate to "te", "yo", "ka", and "ni."

Title
The larger title graphics in the international version meant that the Green Greens backdrop had to be removed. The marching Kirbys were moved down as a result. A small graphic of Kirby was added to fill in the blank space above the logo.

The copyright information was altered as well.

Config Mode
The Japanese config screen has a set of life bar graphics that don't appear anywhere else. The international version changed this to use the same life bar graphics as the rest of the game.

Level Cards
In addition to the logo change, the international versions rearranged some of the fruit at the bottom of the screen.

The Japanese version has a broken water tile in the lower-left corner of the screen. This was fixed in the international release.

Credits
The "Presented By" text was altered.

The text here uses an arrow to point out the code instructions. The left-pointing arrow is only present in the Japanese release.
