The Dream Kingdom is the principal setting of the games Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash, located in a different dimension to that of most of the Kirby series. It is a medieval fantasy analogue to Dream Land, and is host to a number of residents who are common to both universes. The primary difference in its population is the fact that there is not one principal Kirby but rather multiple different ones, of which four come together to form Team Kirby. As revealed in Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, the Magolor of the main dimension reached the Dream Kingdom through an interdimensional portal and planted the Gem Apple tree there as well as establishing his shop, though it is implied by his appearances in other games that he eventually returned to the main dimension at some point. The other characters who appear in the Dream Kingdom are implied to be distinct from their counterparts in the main dimension; for example, Bandana Waddle Dee does not recognize Kirby when they first meet.

Despite the location being called a kingdom, its king is never seen in the games. Magolor mentions that King D-Mind may be the result of the Black Mirror reflecting the appearance of the Dream Kingdom's king, indicating that it may be King Dedede.[1] The Kirby Clash novel adaptations further imply that King Dedede rules the kingdom.

Places within the Dream Kingdom

The Dream Kingdom is split up into two villages and eight distinct regions. Each of these areas has different variants, whether they be simply a change in the time of day, or a total change in appearance (such as the Decisive Battlefield and the Dreamscape). These locations are as follows:

Castle Village

This area is a well-paved town with houses in the background and various objects to interact with. Principal objects of interest include the Gem Apple Tree, Magolor's Shoppe, the Quest Board, the Adventurer Bell, the Shrine of Passwords, and the amiibo statue. Here, Team Kirby can take a breather from battles and converse with Magolor or Bandana Waddle Dee. It is available at the start in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, and can be unlocked by completing the "Tougher: King D-Mind" Story Quest in Super Kirby Clash. Team Kirby is able to change between this Village and Port Village by walking at the edge of the screen.

Magolor first entered the Dream Kingdom through the village. He was the one who planted the Gem Apple tree in the village after retrieving it from Another Dimension. According to texts from Super Kirby Clash, the Castle Village is located near the Grasslands.

Names in other languages

Language Name Meaning
Japanese 夢幻異界むげんいかい
Mugen Ikai
Dream Otherworld
夢幻むげん is a combination of (dream) and げん (phantom), and generally connotates a fantasy or illusion rather than the mere act of dreaming.
異界いかい can mean both "another world" and "spirit world", and its uses in Super Kirby Clash are usually translated to English officially as "another world". It's also the same term used to describe the dimensions in Japanese in Heroes in Another Dimension of Kirby Star Allies.
Traditional Chinese 夢幻異界
mèng huàn yì jiè
Dream Otherworld
As with the Japanese version, 夢幻/梦幻 means "dream" with the connotation of fantasy or illusion, and 異界/异界 is commonly used to describe Another Dimension and similar places.
Simplified Chinese 梦幻异界
mèng huàn yì jiè
Dutch Parallelle dromenrijk Parallel dream kingdom
French Outre-rêve Beyond-the-dream
German Traumwelt Dreamworld
Italian Mondo sognante Dream world
Korean 몽환 이계
monghwan igye
Dream Otherworld
Spanish Mundo onírico paralelo Parallel dream world


Trivia

  • It is implied that the original Team Kirby Clash Sub-Game also takes place in the Dream Kingdom, but it is not explicitly named as such in that game.
  • Some of the background wreckage found in the Decisive Battlefield bears a strong resemblance to certain areas of the Castle Village, such as Magolor's Shoppe, the castle spires, the village fencing and the Quest Board.
  • Both the Empyrean and the Decisive Battlefield would later appear as Battle Stages in Kirby Fighters 2, being more or less unchanged from their appearances in Super Kirby Clash.
