Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe: Difference between revisions

''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' features the same core gameplay of the original, though with many adjustments and touch-ups following innovations introduced by games such as ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', and even ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. At heart, the gameplay still closely matches up with the classic formula established all the way back in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', as Kirby and his friends move through largely linear stages, using various abilities and attacks to deal with the enemies that litter the landscape, with the goal being to reach the [[door]] at the end to clear the stage or to defeat the boss at the end of each level. To assist in this endeavor, Kirby and friends can make use of various [[item]]s that appear in the stages, such as the [[Crackler]], [[Stomper Boot]], and [[Prism Shield]], as well as picking up [[food]] items to recover [[health]] and [[Point Star]]s to gain [[1-Up|extra lives]]. The most notable breaks in regular gameplay are the sections in stages that make use of the powerful [[Super Ability|Super Abilities]], which are used to clear large obstacles and open rifts to Another Dimension for an extra challenge just before the end of certain stages.

*The new enemies and Copy Abilities have been dispersed throughout the regular stages, replacing previous enemies and/or [[Copy Essence]]s in certain instances.

*Additional collectibles have been added to stages, such as [[Stamp Rally|Stamp Tickets]].

*Kirby can now obtain [[Stock Item|Souvenirs]] which he can carry in his inventory to save for later, much like the Stock Items in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. These items include [[Maxim Tomato]]es, [[Energy Drink]]s, [[Crackler]]s, [[Balloon Bomb]]s, and Random Copy Essences.

*Kirby and his friends can wear [[Costumes#Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|Dress-Up Masks]] which can alter the face of the wearer.

*All bosses have unique Special Page descriptions on the [[pause]] screen. In the original, only a select few had them.

**In the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions, the Special Pages give titles to several of the bosses, similar to ''Kirby Star Allies'' and ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. This was largely removed from the other localizations, which instead work the titles into the actual text.

**Initially, the low-pitched "Chesto!" exclamation when Kirby uses the [[Mike]] ability's Encore move was actually a modified voice clip from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. The remake reuses the equivalent voice clip from ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', like in the other main series games since then.

**Additionally, new vocalizations and other sounds have been added to various enemies like [[Whispy Woods]] and objects like the rift wall in Another Dimension sections.

*Some characters who have reappeared in later games have had their designs updated to match, including enemies such as [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]] and [[Walf]]. Others, such as [[Gigant Edge]] and [[Gigatzo]], use upscaled versions of their original designs.

*Certain Copy Abilities have been visually redesigned, particularly ones that appeared in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. [[Wing]]'s hat has also been redesigned to give it less of a resemblance to a warbonnet.

*Super Ability-granting enemies now warp in through a portal from Another Dimension, rather than simply popping in as before.

*In the Japanese version, the circle mark used in the signs of first few stages is no longer used, replacing it with the check mark normally used in the international versions of games up until ''Kirby Star Allies''.

Note that Stage 5 is unlocked immediately after beating Stage 2, which, in turn, prevents access to Stages 3 and 4.
