Hack description

Despite coming out after Kirby Super Star, the mechanics and controls of Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land were entirely based on its predecessor: Kirby's Adventure.

This hack does not aim to bring absolutely all of the modern sensibilities that KSS introduced, but rather:
- Not dropping the copy ability every single time Kirby takes damage
- Hovering only with the jump button -- leaving Up on the +Control Pad to be used by other mechanics with fewer frustrations

Dedede will have nightmaresHaruyuki Hyo2023-12-12Version 1.0

Without a doubt this adjustment helps make the game more playable, one of the many details why they did not change in this remake, without a doubt a great advance, as a request it would be good to apply this in Amazing Mirror.

Edit: If a midboss with a grip (buzzy) takes you, you lose the ability, not bad to balance things. In the water with UFO, if an enemy touches you, you also lose the ability.
