Kirby And The Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World

Soon after arriving, Kirby discovers that Waddle Dees are being captured by the Beast Pack, a group of animal-like enemies that dominate this strange place.

With the help of a new companion named Elfilin, Kirby sets out to rescue the Waddle Dees and uncover the secrets of the forgotten land.

Gameplay takes place across fully 3D stages, each containing platforming challenges, combat encounters, and hidden objectives.

Kirby retains his signature ability to inhale enemies and copy their powers, allowing him to wield familiar abilities such as Sword, Fire, and Hammer, along with new ones like Drill and Ranger.

Each copy ability can be upgraded between missions to unlock stronger attacks and altered move sets.

In addition to copy abilities, Kirby can use “Mouthful Mode”, which allows him to inhale large objects that cannot be swallowed.

This temporarily transforms him into unusual forms, such as a car, vending machine, or glider, each granting unique movement or combat options.

These transformations are integrated into both traversal and puzzle-solving, offering variety across the stages.

Progression is tied to rescuing Waddle Dees hidden in each level.

Collected Waddle Dees return to Waddle Dee Town, which gradually expands with shops, side activities, and useful facilities.

The number of Waddle Dees freed also determines access to later areas and boss encounters, linking exploration to advancement.

The game supports drop-in cooperative play, allowing a second player to control Bandana Waddle Dee.

In co-op, Kirby retains all copy and transformation powers while the partner uses a spear-based moveset.

Coordination between players can make combat and exploration more efficient, though levels are balanced to remain fully playab
