Kirby's Dream Collection is a compilation title released for the Wii in 2012. It was released in commemoration of the Kirby series' 20th anniversary. It has not been released in Europe and Australia.

Contents

Kirby's Dream Collection contains a Wii game disc containing ports of a selection of the first 6 classic Kirby games.

Also included on the game disc are 13 new challenge stages based on the Wii game Kirby's Return to Dream Land, an interactive timeline of Kirby's history where one can read about and watch movies related to the various Kirby games, and three episodes of the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.

The collection also includes a soundtrack CD featuring tracks from numerous Kirby games spanning across the entire series, and a 45 page special collectible book containing various artwork and other behind-the-scenes information and content covering Kirby's history[3], along with a manual-like booklet giving basic information and controls for each game, along with 3 screenshots from notable moments in the games.

In addition, a Sub-Game exclusive to this collection called New Challenge Stages can be played, based on the optional challenge rooms from the Wii game Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It consists of thirteen stages, where Kirby gets one Copy Ability to work with, and focuses on score rather than only on completion of the stage. Kirby gets a score on how much enemies he has defeated, how much time there is left on the clock, and how many coins he has collected. At the end of the run, Kirby is given a ranking based on how much overall points he has, which is, from lowest to highest, bronze, silver, gold, platinum. Each level also contains a boss stage, where Kirby races against Magolor and can use all the copy abilities from the area, or from all challenge stages depending on which area it is. There is a small story to this Sub-Game, where Magolor has built a theme park for Kirby. He acknowledges the events from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, as well as talking about the challenges. Unlike in Kirby's Return to Dream Land the player can use a Gamecube controller to play the challenge stages.

Finally, the disc contains an interactive Kirby history timeline where players can watch and read about all of the Kirby games so far released. The timeline includes worldwide events that happened nearly the same time a Kirby game is released. Also, if players select a game from the timeline, they can view a short clip on a Kirby game or play it if it is included in the disc. Also, they can view view the box of the game in a panoramic mode. Meanwhile, a theme directly from the game plays. Included along with the history are three episodes from the Kirby anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.[3]
