is a 3D platformer Kirby game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. The game was announced in a Nintendo Direct on September 23, 2021 and released worldwide on March 25, 2022. It became available for pre-order on Nintendo eShop on January 12, 2022, and a demo was released on March 3rd the same year.
As a new day begins in Dream Land, Kirby goes out for a morning stroll before taking a ride around on his Warp Star. As he flies over the rolling, green hills and luscious bodies of water, he suddenly stops when he comes across a large mass of dark storm clouds in the sky. Within the clouds, a multitude of star-shaped vortexes open and begin to suck everything up. Shocked by the strange occurrence, Kirby attempts to flee on the Warp Star, flying over fleeing Waddle Dees which are helplessly sucked into the vortexes. Bandana Waddle Dee is caught in the vortexes' pull as well, unsuccessfully trying to remain on the ground by stabbing his spear into it. Kirby dodges many objects being pulled in by the vortexes, but is unable to avoid a large tree branch and is knocked off the Warp Star, flying right into a vortex. Within it, the strange space begins to squash and stretch Kirby to drastic proportions before he eventually loses consciousness.
Once Kirby awakens, he finds himself washed ashore in a strange and mysterious world, one where nature and civilization have become one. After traveling through an abandoned city, Kirby wanders into a building that contains a car inside. A group of three Awoofys appear from behind the car and charge at Kirby. Kirby inhales them all, as well as the car, stretching his mouth over it with his newfound ability: Mouthful Mode, which he gained from the vortexes. Kirby then drives through the city before noticing a bunch of Waddle Dees being carried off in cages by birds. Kirby heads in the direction where the birds were coming from and finds a destroyed Waddle Dee Town, which the Waddle Dees built once they arrived in the strange world. Kirby sees members of the Beast Pack, a group of savage, animal-like beings, chase Waddle Dees before capturing them in cages. A blue, rodent-like creature named Elfilin, who aided the Waddle Dees once they landed, attempts to find a place to hide, but is cornered by the Beast Pack and trapped in a cage. Kirby then fights and defeats the Beast Pack and frees Elfilin, who explains that he and the Waddle Dees attempted to fight back, but were overwhelmed, and that he must save them. Kirby offers to help Elfilin, and the two formally introduce themselves to each other before setting off to rescue the Waddle Dees.
Kirby and Elfilin go through different regions of Arrival Continent to rescue the Waddle Dees, rebuilding their town from scratch. Along the way, the two defeat some of the tougher members of the Beast Pack, such as Gorimondo and Clawroline, as well as a tropical variant of Whispy Woods. They eventually reach Winter Horns and confront King Dedede, who has been brainwashed into joining the Beast Pack. After a victorious battle, Kirby and Elfilin dance, but Dedede awakens and kidnaps Elfilin while Kirby was distracted. Unable to catch the king before he flees, Kirby immediately chases Dedede to the Forbidden Island in order to rescue Elfilin.
Kirby traverses Originull Wasteland to find a lair with various hoarded junk and trinkets. Kirby thinks he has found Elfilin, but it turns out to be a trap set up by Sillydillo to capture Kirby. After a tough fight, Kirby triumphs over the Beast Pack armadillo before heading to Redgar Forbidden Lands in search of Elfilin. After fighting through the last of the Beast Pack's defenses - including rematches with Gorimondo, Sillydillo, and Clawroline - he descends into an infernal factory to take on King Dedede again. The king is now wearing a mysterious warthog-shaped mask that increases his power further while causing him to devolve into a feral creature; despite this, Kirby manages to triumph over the so-called "Forgo Dedede". With the mask broken, Dedede returns to normal and celebrates with the Waddle Dees he was guarding; meanwhile, Kirby notices a strange elevator opening behind them. With the Beast Pack's forces rapidly approaching, the group flees to the elevator; when one of the Waddle Dees trips, Dedede throws them into the elevator and stays behind to fend off the incoming enemies.
Within the elevator, a pre-recorded message welcomes Kirby to Lab Discovera, a science facility that contains "the ultimate life-form, Specimen ID-F86." It describes the specimen as a destructive being that nearly destroyed the new world before being captured by the planet's original inhabitants. Once contained, the people studied ID-F86's spatial teleportation ability, but a "warp-experiment incident" caused a new entity to break off of the subject; dubbed "ID-F87," this subspecimen escaped the facility and has yet to be recovered. As the elevator continues to rise, Kirby sees hundreds of Waddle Dees being made to run in hamster wheels, providing power to the facility as the intercom explains that ID-F86 has been in a state of permanent stasis ever since the loss of the subspecimen, kept within the Eternal Capsule and used as a tourist attraction.
When the elevator comes to a halt and opens up, Kirby proceeds down a hallway to Specimen ID-F86's viewing chamber, where he encounters Leongar, leader of the Beast Pack. He explains that the original inhabitants of the new world used ID-F86's power to abandon the planet and travel to "a land of dreams"; he hopes to gain the same power for the Beast Pack once he reunites the specimen with its missing half - none other than Elfilin, who is trapped in a capsule next to it. Vowing to feast on Kirby's hide if he tries to stop them, Leongar engages Kirby in battle; during the battle, he appears to become possessed by the specimen, increasing his power at the cost of his sanity. Despite this, Leongar is defeated, being sent flying through his throne and skidding into ID-F86's containment unit.
is the first 3D action platformer in the main series. As such, it controls similarly to recent 3D entries in the series: Kirby 3D Rumble, its successor Kirby's Blowout Blast, and Kirby Battle Royale. Like Kirby Battle Royale, it features fully functional Copy Abilities; unlike Kirby Battle Royale, however, it maintains using one attack button instead of two. The game follows the formula of reaching the end goal location of each stage, where Kirby frees captured Waddle Dees.
Waddle Dee Town functions as the main hub for Kirby and his allies. In it, Kirby can unlock various structures as he frees more Waddle Dees by completing stages and their missions, which can unlock sub-games. Additionally, Kirby can spend currency for collectible capsules (much like keychains, figurines, and stickers) or talk to the Wise Waddle Dee for online player records. At Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop, Kirby can evolve his Copy Abilities into Evolved Copy Abilities, allowing them to become more powerful in a system somewhat similar to the Ability Scrolls from Kirby: Squeak Squad.
Furthermore, Kirby also gains a new ability separate from Copy Abilities in the form of Mouthful Mode, which requires Kirby to partially inhale portions of the environment around him in order to proceed further. If Kirby has assumed a Copy Ability, he will keep that ability while using Mouthful Mode.
While Kirby's standard moves have been adjusted to work in 3D, his dodge receives a major overhaul. Like in previous games, Kirby can dodge by moving while guarding, but the distance he makes in doing so is increased. In addition, Kirby can achieve a perfect dodge by dodging right before an enemy or obstacle can attack him, briefly slowing down everything around him. In the case of perfectly dodging an enemy, he has the chance to apply some extra damage, especially if he wields a Copy Ability.
This game supports 2-player co-op, in which Player 1 is Kirby and Player 2 is Bandana Waddle Dee. Bandana Waddle Dee has the same basic movement options as Kirby but is limited to his own unique moveset. The strength and effectiveness of the moveset changes accordingly to the evolution level of Kirby's current Copy Ability. When sharing healing or power-up items, Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee will high-five each other instead of the former mouth-to-mouth transfer. Bandana Waddle Dee will place himself on top of Kirby while he is using certain Mouthful Modes. In addition, some sub-games can be played in co-op.
also allows the player to choose the difficulty of the game: "Spring-Breeze Mode," an easier, more relaxed difficulty where Kirby has more health; or "Wild Mode," a slightly harder difficulty where Kirby has less health, which in turn rewards the player with 50 more Star Coins after a stage or challenge is completed.

contains 12 standard Copy Abilities, two of which are new to the series (Drill and Ranger). In addition, each Copy Ability has at least one Evolved Copy Ability. Most abilities have two evolutions, although Sword and Hammer have three, and limited-use abilities have only one. In order to access Evolved Copy Abilities, the respective blueprints for each one must be obtained. Some require exploration or progression in levels, while others can be found using different methods. Upon obtaining their blueprints, Evolved Copy Abilities can be unlocked and upgraded through Star Coins and Rare Stones at Waddle Dee's Weapons Shop. Standard and Evolved Copy Abilities can also be upgraded further after defeating Fecto Elfilis, enhancing their base attack power.
