Butter Building is the third level ofKirby's Adventure and its remake,Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. It is a tower that extends up into the sky. It has seven primary stages, with the last containing the dualboss,Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright. This is the first level which containsBig Switches.
Intro cutscene[edit]
Before entering the hub for the first time, a brief cutscene plays adorned in a blue frame with the level's name overhead in the scene. In the skit, Kirby can be seen walking along a platform aside from a handful of towers when aPoppy Bros. Sr. runs in and knocks Kirby aside, causing him to fall and grab the ledge to catch himself. While Kirby is trying to get back up, the Poppy Bros. Sr. returns and tosses a bomb high into the air before disappearing. Once Kirby gets back onto the platform, the bomb falls on his head, leaving the poor puffball only enough time to notice it before it explodes on him. From there, the scene ends.
Overview[edit]
Butter Building is defined by its verticality. Each stage has Kirby traversing upward in room after room, moving through both the inside and outside of the tower as he ascends. Along the way, he has to contend with carefully organized enemy formations and hazards, with many flying enemies at the exterior sections.Spikes andbottomless pits are common in this level. There are also many more Mid-Boss encounters than before, with Stage 2 being the first in the game to have more than one. Stage 6 features the first dark area in the game, where the little-usedLight ability has a chance to shine.
Butter Building is the first full-length level in the game, with seven total stages. For the most part, however, these stages are short, consisting of only a few rooms.
Hub[edit]
True to the nature of the tower itself, the hub opens up vertically, with each stage door appearing above the previous one. Pressing theBig Switch in Stage 1 unlocks theArena, whereGrand Wheelie can be fought. Clearing Stage 3 grants access to theMuseum, which holds theHi-Jump ability. Clearing Stage 4 grants access to the first sub-game (Quick Draw inKirby's Adventure,Quick Draw inKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land). Lastly, pressing theBig Switch in Stage 6 unlocks the second sub-game (Egg Catcher inKirby's Adventure andKirby's Air Grind inKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land).
The hub opens up into a tall and thin area representing the tower in its entirety. Naturally, the door to the boss encounter can be found at the very top.
Stages[edit]
Each stage is unlocked in succession after clearing the previous one. Clearing Stage 7 is necessary to move on toGrape Garden. For more information about a particular stage, click on the link to the stage's page in the table.
