Kirby and the Forgotten Land

KIRBY AND THE FORGOTTEN LAND

And now, we come to the first Kirby adventure game that actually has him play in 3D and not just 3D backgrounds. (I think there are a couple like Air Ride that were technically full 3D first, but that's a spinoff so . . .) The story features Kirby and friends getting sucked up into a portal that takes them to another world that is totally not a post-apocalyptic world, ruled by a band of anthropomorphic animals called the Beast Pack.

Kirby is our main character as always, with most of his basic moves translated fairly well into 3D. He gains the Drill ability, letting him dig into the ground, as well as the Ranger ability, giving him a gun to shoot with. These join the returning Bomb, Crash, Cutter, Fire, Hammer, Ice (with a skating ability now), Needle, Sleep, Sword, and Tornado. Each of these can be upgraded. Bomb gets the ability to chain bombs and send out a homing drone; Crash lets him freeze time; Cutter gives him curving Chakrams and ricocheting saw blades; Drill gives him a pencil projectile and twin drills; Fire lets him erupt like a volcano and grow dragon wings; Hammer gives him a squeaky hammer, a stone hammer, and lets him dual wield while throwing fire; Ice lets him create snowmen and shoot icicles; Needle lets him shoot projectiles while rolling and leave spike traps on the ground; Ranger lets him dual wield and shoot lasers; Sleep lets him restore full health and gain a boost; Sword gives him a giant sword and shield and lets him use Meta Knight and Morpho Knight's swords; and Tornado lets you expand the vortex and shoot lightning.

Another new ability for Kirby is his Mouthful Mode, which lets him suck up giant objects and take on their forms. These include a glider, car, roller coaster, cone, dome, lightbulb, rolling pipe, hoop, scissor lift, stairs, storage locker, vending machine, water balloon, and a big rig. I should also mention Elfilin, Kirby's "Navi" of the game, who thankfully technically doesn't betray you. He's a solid gimmick rep here. Bandana Waddle Dee also acts as your player two, using his spear to multi-jab, stab, throw, Waddle Copter, all the basics.

King Dedede and Meta Knight both appear. King Dedede is brainwashed yet again, first fighting you as himself, using his hammer and body slams while knocking over large pillars. Then he fights you as Forgo Dedede, wearing a pig mask that turns him fully feral. During this fight, he can dual wield hammers, slam them down, summon pillars of fire, spin, leap, toss his hammers, charge like a bull, body slam and leave lava behind, summon enemies, and inhale. While writing this, I realized I forgot about the swole version from Star Allies, so I'll make note of that here. In that battle, he pounds the ground hard, tosses rotten food, break the ground, jump high into the air, and leap between poles (wait, no punches?). Waddle Dees act as your NPCs, building a town on this new world, and Meta Knight appears as a challenger in the colosseum after that is built.

The Beast Pack function as your main villains, wishing to unleash a powerful creature used by humans centuries ago to open portals between worlds and leave Earth behind. Their leader is Leongar, a lion who slashes with his claws, bites, spews an energy beam from his mouth, casts beam slashes, and pounds the ground. Then we have Clawroline, his . . . lover?/partner? who attacks with slashing claws, throwing knives, pouncing, and dashing at high speed. Then there's Gorimondo, a giant gorilla who swings his fists, spins, stomps, and pulls rocks out of the ground to throw. And finally we have Sillydillo, who rolls around, catches Kirby in a cage and shakes him, and dances with a puppet partner.

As for the ancient being of ultimate power, you first fight it as Fecto Forgo, a blob of goop that chases you down a hall and spits goop at you, before it absorbs Elfilin, its missing piece, and transforms into Fecto Elfilis. In this form, it flies, stabs with its rapier, creates homing swords, tears holes in reality, and heals itself. In the secret final ending, it transforms into Morpho Knight, fighting much like Meta Knight, but also teleporting, using flames, casting soul forms of its original self, using sound waves, and having two larger swords.

The only other boss not included is Tropic Woods, a bigger version of Whispy Woods with exploding cannonballs. Our midbosses include Fleurina, a stork who spins with a tornado and sends out smaller tornadoes, as well as Wild Bonkers, Wild Edge, and Wild Frosty, larger and wilder versions of Bonkers, Gigant Edge, and Mr. Frosty, but with mostly the same attacks just stronger. Frosty does throw large snowballs now.

Our returning non-copy enemies include Kabu, Blipper, Bouncy, Bronto Burt, Cappy, Gabon, Glunk, Gordo, Mumbies, Pacto, Phanta, Scarfy, Spookstep, Squishy, and Walf. These join newcomers Awoofy, Tortuilding, Buffahorn, Gnawcrodile, Orabiroo, Poison Croakom, Rabiroo, Sssnacker, and Tortorner.

The stages include Natural Plain, a generic area (with a mall); Everbay Coast, a beach area; Wondaria Remains, an amusement park; Winter Horns, an ice level; Originull Wasteland, a desert level; Redgar Forbidden Lands, a lava level; and Lab Discovera, where Fecto Elfilis is held. There's also the Waddle Dee village and Forgo Dreams, the final secret level.
