A '''stage''' is typically defined as an individual playable portion of a [[level]]. In the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], almost all levels are sub-divided into three or more stages (four if the [[boss]] stage is counted), which can be accessed from the [[Level hub|level's hub area]] or simply played in sequence. In almost all cases, stages are where the gameplay of any given ''Kirby'' game takes place, and several [[Sub-Game]]s will tend to also be divided into stages (though these will not be covered on this page).

=== ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' ===
Each main mode of ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' features eight stages, with some being unlockable. Most of these stages have different variants to them, with the [[Race (Kirby's Dream Buffet)|Race]] stages famously having four different variants each, corresponding to the four main background colors. The stages are as follows (stages in ''italics'' need to be unlocked first):

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' (Magolor Epilogue) ===
In addition to the main stages in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' (which are the same as those in the original game), the new Extra Mode [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]] has its own set of stages, though they are almost all significantly shorter than the Story Mode stages. They are as follows:
