Kirby's Dream Buffet is an upcoming Kirby spin-off game for the Nintendo Switch eShop. In it, Kirby is shrunk by the Dream Fork and must face off against Waddle Dees and other multi-colored Kirbys in collecting the most strawberries atop a now giant cake in order to grow bigger for a final fight. General gameplay will revolve around racing along various food-themed stages, grabbing strawberries to grow in size, and then engaging in a sort of battle mini-game at the end. Becoming larger grants various benefits to the Kirby in question, including rolling faster down hills, and appears to be the metric by which the winner is decided. The game can be played locally with up to four players and also features online multiplayer via Nintendo Switch Online. The game also features Copy Ability-like powers called Copy Food abilities.

Story

It is currently unknown to what extent Kirby's Dream Buffet will have a story. However, a bit of backstory is shared on Nintendo's Japanese site announcing the game. It is explained that Kirby was invited to a "gourmet festival", where he found the cake shown in the opening scene. He decided to dig in using the Dream Fork instead of waiting for the festival to start, and as a result, he was shrunk down by the fork's magical powers. From there, he is joined by other Kirbys as they begin to roll around eating the now relatively giant food.

Copy Food abilities
