The fact that these challenges really entice you to explore levels, and go back and accomplish the most random quests in these levels, rather than just burn straight through them. Whilst the majority of the game is just going from one level to the next before a boss battle, similar to that of 3D World, you’ll need to find a certain number of Waddle Dees in each level before you can proceed to the boss, and this was also something I really appreciated. These are upgraded by collecting special stars that are unlocked in Treasure Road levels, which are essentially time trials that challenge you to use a recently acquired ability. This was easily one of my favourite parts of the game, and some of the newer attacks were to be likened to the most insane Ratchet and Clank weapons. If that wasn’t enough, each copy abilities can also be upgraded at the Waddle Dee Shop to have even more power than it did before. I think it’s to be commended though how many different abilities both in regular enemy copy attacks and Mouthful mode. RELATED: Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Is Coming To Nintendo Switch
There’s a lot more variety at play, which works well, but also leaves more room for things not to hit as well as other certain mechanics do, and that was definitely my experience here. Maybe it’s the fact that Kirby’s gameplay has a lot more variety thanks to the fact that the gameplay relies on a huge variety of abilities, without Kirby having any core ones himself.

In my preview of the game, I likened Kirby to that of Super Mario 3D World in the sense that it does break away from the traditional 2D gameplay, whilst still retaining the core Mario platforming mechanics, but without going full blown into Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Odyssey territory, and I’d say that my thoughts remained the same throughout.īut for me it always felt a little bit below the likes of Super Mario 3D World, and I can’t quite put my finger on why it didn’t come together quite as well. I’d also say for the most part, the 3D nature of the gameplay as well as the fact that levels are much more open, really allows for Kirby to shine, given he has great reach both vertically and horizontally, and the levels not only make for great platforming and action, but also the amount of puzzles that are hidden within each level, without ever feeling cheap. Firstly, I’d say that it’s done well to really retain the core mechanics of what makes a Kirby game great with great copy abilities that don’t feel gimmicky and all have a good amount of uniqueness where none overshadow the next.

It was very clear since its reveal that Kirby and the Forgotten Land would attempt to push the series to new heights, and I’d say that it’s mostly succeeded in this mission. I’ve always enjoyed playing Kirby games, but it’s easy to feel that they’ve become stagnant in recent times, with HAL relying on gimmicks that incorporate one or two new mechanics to change things up whilst still relying on the classic Kirby copy functions.
