''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' is an action multiplayer game with a core focus on racing and battle modes. The goal of each mode is to collect the most [[Strawberry|strawberries]] and grow to the largest size to be declared the winner, using whatever other items or course elements appear along the way to gain an advantage. Strawberries can be obtained along the various courses either out in the open, dropped from above, contained in boxes, or stolen from rivals. | |||
There are three distinct types of gameplay as follows: | |||
*'''Race''' - Kirbys race along a linear course from start to finish and collect strawberries along the way. At the end of each track are piles of strawberries 50, 20, and 10 strawberries large which are first-come, first-served. | |||
*'''Minigame''' - Kirbys roll around a small board and collect strawberries that appear while also knocking their opponents away until time runs out. | |||
*'''Battle Royale''' - Kirbys battle opponents to steal their strawberries in an open area while avoiding the giant gloves and other hazards on the board. | |||
Game modes can be played separately or together in a Grand Prix mode. Gameplay can take place in local or online [[Multiplayer]] and/or against [[CPU]] opponents. Collecting strawberries also allows the player to unlock different [[Colors]] and [[Costumes]] for their Kirby or obtain collectible [[Character Treat]]s to use as starting pedestals in races. | |||

Kirby's Dream Buffet is an upcoming Kirby spin-off game for the Nintendo Switch eShop.[2] 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 along food-themed courses in order to grow in size. Becoming larger grants various benefits to the Kirby in question, including rolling faster down hills, and is the metric by which the winner is decided.[3] Kirby's Dream Buffet features three distinct game modes, including racing and battle modes, and also features online multiplayer via Nintendo Switch Online.[4] The game also features the familiar Copy Abilities[5] in a new form, as Copy Food abilities.[6][7]
Kirby's Dream Buffet is scheduled to release August 17th 2022, to be exclusively available as a digital download from the Nintendo eShop.
Story
In Kirby's Dream Buffet, Kirby is invited to a "gourmet festival" where he finds a cake, as shown in the opening scene. Instead of waiting for the festival to start, Kirby decides to eat the cake using the Dream Fork. In wielding the Dream Fork, Kirby is affected by its magical powers and is shrunk down significantly. From here, he is joined by other Kirbys as they roll around, eating the now relatively giant food.[7][8]
Gameplay
Kirby's Dream Buffet is an action multiplayer game with a core focus on racing and battle modes. The goal of each mode is to collect the most strawberries and grow to the largest size to be declared the winner, using whatever other items or course elements appear along the way to gain an advantage. Strawberries can be obtained along the various courses either out in the open, dropped from above, contained in boxes, or stolen from rivals.
There are three distinct types of gameplay as follows:
- Race - Kirbys race along a linear course from start to finish and collect strawberries along the way. At the end of each track are piles of strawberries 50, 20, and 10 strawberries large which are first-come, first-served.
- Minigame - Kirbys roll around a small board and collect strawberries that appear while also knocking their opponents away until time runs out.
- Battle Royale - Kirbys battle opponents to steal their strawberries in an open area while avoiding the giant gloves and other hazards on the board.
Game modes can be played separately or together in a Grand Prix mode. Gameplay can take place in local or online Multiplayer and/or against CPU opponents. Collecting strawberries also allows the player to unlock different Colors and Costumes for their Kirby or obtain collectible Character Treats to use as starting pedestals in races.
Copy Abilities
There are a total of eight different Copy Abilities in Kirby's Dream Buffet, which are acquired from Copy Foods contained within Food Boxes or out in the open. While most of these abilities are from earlier titles, they have all been given food-based redesigns. These abilities are limited-use, and some only appear in the race modes while others only appear in the Battle Royale matches. The following are the Copy Abilities in the game:
