In this game, [[Kirby]], a handful of [[Color|different-color]] [[Kirby (species)|Kirby clones]], and several [[Waddle Dee]]s are shrunk down to the size of peas by the magical [[Dream Fork]] and roll around atop cakes, pastries, and other confections in a race to eat the most [[Strawberry|strawberries]] and other fruit, growing in size and speed the more fruit is consumed. After competing in a couple of linear [[Race (Kirby's Dream Buffet)|race tracks]] and [[Minigame|a short mini-challenge]], the Kirbys face off in one last [[Battle Royale (Kirby's Dream Buffet)|Battle Royale match]] where they fight each other for their strawberries using [[Copy Food]] abilities and other items, with the largest Kirby at the end of it all being declared the winner. | ||
''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' is built as a lightweight and quick-to-play multiplayer title, and (unlike many of its predecessors) lacks a story mode of any kind, making it similar to other small spin-off games such as ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' or ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]'', though its most direct resemblance may be ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' (the only other racing game in the series). In addition to its base gameplay, ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' features local and online multiplayer functionality (the latter using the Nintendo Switch Online service), a large amount of collectibles in the form of [[Character Treat]]s, and a [[Free Rolling]] mode that allows the player to explore and goof around in a distinct open area not used in regular gameplay. In addition to some original tracks, the game also features many songs from previous ''Kirby'' titles, in the form of both originals and rearrangements. | ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' is built as a lightweight and quick-to-play multiplayer title, and (unlike many of its predecessors) lacks a story mode of any kind, making it similar to other small spin-off games such as ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' or ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]'', though its most direct resemblance may be ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' (the only other racing game in the series).

''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' is an action multiplayer game with a core focus on racing and battle modes. The goal of each mode is to collect the most [[Strawberry|strawberries]] and grow to the largest size to be declared the winner, using whatever other items or course elements appear along the way to gain an advantage. Strawberries can be obtained along the various courses either out in the open, dropped from above, contained in boxes, or stolen from rivals. During gameplay, larger Kirbys generally have an advantage over smaller ones, as they roll faster and can bounce and resist being bounced by opponents more easily, though there are a few disadvantages (more details on the [[Strawberry]] page). In addition to strawberries, other types of fruit can appear known as "mission fruit", and collecting those during races can help Kirby gain certain bonuses during the results screen at the end of the '''[[Gourmet Grand Prix]]'''. | ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' is an action multiplayer game with a core focus on racing and battle modes.

Game modes can be played separately or together in the aforementioned Gourmet Grand Prix mode. There is also a [[Free Rolling]] mode, where players can explore a big open area without any objectives (and no time limit if playing solo). Gameplay can take place in local or online [[multiplayer]] and/or against [[CPU]] opponents. Collecting strawberries also contributes to a level-based ranking system called the [[Gourmet Rank]] (similar to the [[Fighters Rank]] used in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'') which allows the player to unlock different [[ | Game modes can be played separately or together in the aforementioned Gourmet Grand Prix mode.

Collecting strawberries also contributes to a level-based ranking system called the [[Gourmet Rank]] (similar to the [[Fighters Rank]] used in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'') which allows the player to unlock different [[Color]]s and [[Costumes]] for their Kirby, or unlock bonus music tracks to listen to during races. Due to the lack of a story mode, advancing the Gourmet Rank to its maximum level of 135 is the main means of progression in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' (though a separate ranking system is used for online multiplayer matchmaking). Additional background music will also be available if the player owns ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', ''Kirby Fighters 2'', or ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'', gaining three bonus tracks per game owned. Lastly, [[Character Treat]]s can be collected to use as starting pedestals in races and to decorate the cake on the Home Table (the main menu for the game). | ||
