Story

	Notice: Stop right there, stubby little pink thing!
	Spoilers abound! If you do not wish to read them, skip ahead to the next heading or find a different article.

After waking up on a Dream Land morning, Kirby lets out a hearty yawn as a butterfly lands on his face. Later in the day, he goes "fishing" for Blippers, flies with some birds, takes a nap under an apple tree, and rides on the Warp Star over the Orange Ocean. That night, as Kirby is sleeping in his house, a mysterious beanstalk, known as the Dreamstalk, lifts Kirby's house into the air. Kirby yawns once more after he wakes up, only to be interrupted by the sight of his house in the sky. In a panic, he rushes out of the house and falls onto Mt. Dedede, which he finds has also been lifted up into the sky. He storms the castle after finding a mysterious arachnid-like creature called Taranza sneaking inside. Dedede commands his Waddle Dees to stop him, but they are all overpowered By Taranza. He kidnaps the king and runs off with him, with Kirby still chasing him to the floating kingdom of Floralia.

Taranza uses his magic to make five seemingly inanimate or dormant creatures come to life: Flowery Woods is created from a flower, Paintra is awakened from a painting, Kracko is remade from a cloud, Coily Rattler is awakened from a snake statue, and Pyribbit is woken up. Kirby battles through these Monsters, then finally reaches Dedede's castle in Royal Road. Taranza scolds Kirby for following him, and then reveals that he is truly only the second-in-command to the true ruler of Floralia, Queen Sectonia, and that the People of the Sky (whom Kirby rescued during his adventure) planted the Dreamstalk to get the hero of Dream Land to stop Taranza and the Queen. He then turns King Dedede (whom he mistook for the hero of Dream Land) into Masked Dedede, and where Kirby fights him.

After Kirby overpowers them--twice, Taranza summons Queen Sectonia, a giant queen bee, in a last-ditch attempt to stop Kirby. The Queen angrily swats Taranza away and expresses the desire to rule both Dream Land and Floralia. She fights Kirby for wanting to stand against her and save Dedede.

Kirby defeats her, but she flies away and combines her power with the Dreamstalk, covering all of Pop Star with vines. Dedede and the People of the Sky reappear and build a cannon for Kirby to follow her. Kirby then fights her, in her Dreamstalk form, but she still survives the battle and tries to choke Kirby with her vines. Suddenly, Dedede, hanging on to a reformed Taranza, work together to free Kirby and give him a Miracle Fruit, turning him into Hypernova Kirby. Kirby then sucks up a beam that the queen fires at him and spits it out at her after they glare angrily at each other.

The Queen is finally destroyed, but Kirby is sent tumbling down Floralia. The People of the Sky catch Kirby, while Taranza barely catches Dedede. They all enjoy Dream Land's latest landmark, the Dreamstalk.

In Dededetour!, King Dedede decides to explore Floarlia himself. After defeating Queen Sectonia DX, Sectonia's Mirror World counterpart, at Royal Road, he fights his own Mirror World self, and then enters the Dimension Mirror to fight Dark Meta Knight. He then destroys the mirror to prevent them from coming back. It is unknown how the king himself returns.

However, in the finale of The True Arena, Sectonia managed to barely grasp onto life by eating some Miracle Fruits herself, becoming Soul of Sectonia. Kirby fights her once more, and finally kills her after she forcefully rips herself off of the Dreamstalk for a final stand.

Trivia

If the first letter of each level is put together, it spells out FLOWERED (Fine Field, Lollipop Land, Old Odyssey, Wild World, Endless Explosions, Royal Road, Eternal Dreamland). This is similar to Kirby: Canvas Curse and Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

This game was first to have interactable onscreen HUD display: when Hypernova kirby inhale a boss, its health gauge "peels" off before being inhaled when emptied.
