![]() ![]() Some of the games, like Ninja Dojo, where you and, again, up to three friends, throw shurikens at moving targets and try to get a bullseye, return from the original, and can also be unlocked from Magolor’s spacecraft, Lor Starcutter, like in the original. The Festival ability, a single-use dance…attack? that turns enemies into collectible stars from 2018 Switch game Kirby Star Allies, makes an appearance, too.ĭream Land Deluxe also adds a co-op epilogue where you play as Magolor, a mega-easy setting where Magolor acts, essentially, as the bumpers to Kirby’s bowling alley, tossing him health items and making sure he doesn’t fall and die, and an amusement park with 10 mini-games called Merry Magoland. Those magic “Copy Abilities” are one of the main changes in this version of Dream Land, which debuts two new Abilities in the Kirby franchise: Sand, which gives Kirby a rippling crown of sand and waves of it to kick at enemies (even in the form of a sandcastle attack), and Mecha, which makes Kirby look like he’s in Transformers with jetpacks and bread loaf-thick square fists. ![]() I wander through four of the game’s eight themed levels, all with up to six stages and their own fairly undemanding boss battles, in pursuit of this goal, inhaling all kinds of tubby enemies and absorbing their magic powers.
