The general design of the game is mostly unchanged, with up to four players taking control of Kirby and friends in a treasure-hunting adventure to help their new friend Magalor repair his spaceship. Up to four players can control Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandanna Waddle Dee, though in this version of the game, other players can also control Kirby palette swaps if they like. A new Copy Ability, Mecha, will be added to the game as well, which is a pretty good incentive for multi-Kirby action.

Besides the main game, a gaggle of sub-games you can play with up to three friends will be available. These include classic Kirby games like the quick-draw contest Samurai Kirby, as well as new games like Magalor’s Tome Trackers.

Once again, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe releases on February 24th, 2023. This game is an important part of Kirby’s modern history, and definitely deserves to be tried out!
