Strawberries are a collectible item and scoring mechanic in Kirby's Dream Buffet, and serve as the primary metric by which the winner of any given event is decided. Strawberries can be found out in the open in all three of the game modes, and can also appear from certain enemies, Food Boxes, and other stage hazards, as well as being obtainable from other players in the Battle Royale mode and awarded as bonuses in the results screen. Collecting a certain number of strawberries causes Kirby to grow larger, which offers its own benefits and drawbacks, and the Kirby with the most overall by the end of an event is the winner. Afterward, strawberries collected are converted into points for the Gourmet Rank system.
