Key Features of Kirby’s Return to Dreamland
Here is a list of key elements that will be available in HAL Laboratory’s Kirby’s Return to Dreamland based on news and announcements made so far.
Kirby’s Return to Dream Land is a 2.5D side-scrolling platform game. The main objective is to collect the scattered pieces of an alien spaceship that had crash-landed on Kirby’s home planet, Pop Star. The pieces are dispersed and hidden in each of the various levels of the game.
Kirby’s Signature Ability
Kirby, the main protagonist, retains his signature ability to inhale indefinitely, allowing him to suck in nearby objects and enemies. The inhaled objects can either be propelled back out as projectiles or swallowed. Certain enemies, when swallowed, allow Kirby to “copy” their special qualities, giving Kirby access to a wide variety of different powers. The powers, which range from swords, fire, and water, are used to defeat stronger enemies and clear special environmental obstacles.
“Super Abilities”
The game introduces “Super Abilities,” such as “Ultra Sword”, “Monster Flame”, or “Flare Beam” (their corresponding regular abilities being “sword”, “flame”, of “beam”) which are able to destroy multiple enemies at once as well as parts of the environment.
Co-operative Play
The game features a drop-in cooperative multiplayer system, which allows up to three additional players to be added or removed at any time. The three other playable characters, each possessing his own set of abilities, are Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee, but multiple Kirby characters are also allowed.
