The Dream Kingdom is the principal setting of the games Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash, located in a parallel dimension.[1] It is a medieval fantasy analogue to Dream Land, and is host to a number of residents who are common to other dimensions. The primary difference in its population is the fact that there is not one principal Kirby but rather multiple different ones, of which four come together to form Team Kirby. Despite the Dream Kingdom being a "parallel" dimension, Shinya Kumazaki suggested that the Magolor of the Dream Kingdom was the same as the one from his other appearances;[1] this would later be shown in the ending of Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, in which the Magolor of that continuity reaches the Dream Kingdom through a dimensional rift and plants the Gem Apple tree there as well as establishing his shop. The other characters who appear in the Dream Kingdom are implied to be distinct from their counterparts in other continuities; for example, Bandana Waddle Dee does not recognize Kirby when they first meet.
It is implied that the original Team Kirby Clash Sub-Game in Kirby: Planet Robobot also takes place in the Dream Kingdom, but it is not explicitly named as such in that game.
Despite the location being called a kingdom, its king is never seen in the games. Magolor mentions that King D-Mind may be the result of the Black Mirror reflecting the appearance of the Dream Kingdom's king, indicating that it may be King Dedede.[2] The Kirby Clash novel adaptations further imply that King Dedede rules the kingdom, although the novels are a separate continuity from the games.
Places within the Dream Kingdom
The Dream Kingdom is split up into two villages and eight distinct regions. Each of these areas has different variants, whether they be simply a change in the time of day, or a total change in appearance (such as the Decisive Battlefield and the Dreamscape). These locations are as follows:
Castle Village
This area is a well-paved town with houses in the background and various objects to interact with. Principal objects of interest include the Gem Apple Tree, Magolor's Shoppe, the Quest Board, the Adventurer Bell, the Shrine of Passwords, and the amiibo statue. Here, Team Kirby can take a breather from battles and converse with Magolor or Bandana Waddle Dee. It is available at the start in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, and can be unlocked by completing the "Tougher: King D-Mind" Story Quest in Super Kirby Clash. Team Kirby is able to change between this Village and Port Village by walking at the edge of the screen.
Magolor first entered the Dream Kingdom through the village. He was the one who planted the Gem Apple tree in the village after retrieving it from Another Dimension. According to texts from Super Kirby Clash, the Castle Village is located near the Grasslands.

The Decisive Battlefield reappears in Kirby Fighters 2 as the Battle Stage used when fighting Shadow Kirby in Story Mode: The Destined Rivals and Single-Handed Mode, though it is not a selectable stage in other modes. It is largely unchanged from its appearance in Super Kirby Clash.

熊崎 まず、マホロアの色自体がプププ王国の世界観に合わないのがひとつです。消して正体を隠してカービィの前に現れているわけではありません(笑)。「ボクの名前はマホロア！」っていう所も含めてパラレルですね。『星のカービィ Wii』の物語に大きく関わったマホロアは人気が高いキャラクターですし、今作のマホロアと関係性が気になっていた方も多いかなと思いますが、パラレルではあるもののあくまでも本人としての登場になります。
Interviewer: Magolor from Kirby's Return to Dream Land also makes an appearance, doesn't he? Why were his clothes changed to green, instead of the original blue?
Kumazaki: For one thing, Magolor's original color scheme doesn't quite match the style of the Dream Kingdom. And it's not like he just disappeared and disguised his identity so he could appear in front of Kirby again (laughs). This is a parallel [universe], and the part where he says "My name is Magolor!" is also parallel [meaning, he has no reason to hide because this isn't the same Kirby he met before]. Magolor is a very popular character who was crucial to the story of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and I'm sure many of you have wondered about his relationship to the Magolor of this game; even though it's a parallel [universe], he is the same person [lit. "he is appearing as himself"]." –Nintendo DREAM (July 2017) - ↑ Team Kirby Clash Deluxe Japanese official website - Magolor News #9
