In addition, the [[character]]s (most notably [[King Dedede]]) have been updated to their modern looks. Other details include [[Enemy|enemies]] such as [[Waddle Dee]]s [[Fourth wall|splatting against the screen]] when hit by [[Super Ability]] attacks. Both the title screen for the game as well as the banner art also show a new location - [[Merry Magoland]], a festive castle-like structure that resembles [[Magolor]] that allows access to sub-games.

However, aside from the ones seen in the reveal trailer and screenshots, none can be explicitly confirmed to appear, as it may be the case that an old enemy gets replaced by another, as has happened in cases such as [[Bounder]], [[Togezo]], and [[Rolling Turtle]] in previous games.

— Nintendo eShop description

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is an upcoming remake of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, releasing for the Nintendo Switch on February 24th 2023. It will feature the same story and gameplay as the original, but with a handful of new additions, most notably the new Mecha and Sand Copy Abilities,[1] the Festival ability from Kirby Star Allies, and a revamped collection of Sub-Games housed in the new location Merry Magoland, a festive castle-like structure that resembles Magolor.

While the game features the same side-scrolling 2.5-D gameplay as the original, the graphics have been given an overhaul, giving all the characters strong outlines and increasing the detail and contrast. In addition, the characters (most notably King Dedede) have been updated to their modern looks. Other visual changes include enemies splatting against the screen when hit by Super Ability attacks.

The game is available in all languages that Kirby's Return to Dream Land was originally available in, along with new translations in Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, and Chinese (both Simplified and Traditional).

Copy Abilities

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe features every Copy Ability from the original game[2] in addition to the new Mecha and Sand abilities, as well as Festival, making it the first remake to add Copy Abilities that were not in the original game (although introducing new abilities was considered for the previous remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, the idea was ultimately scrapped[3]). It is also known that some abilities were given updated movesets.

The following are all the known Copy Abilities in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, along with other known details:

Super Abilities

Like in the original game, Kirby has access to five Super Abilities which are more powerful versions of regular abilities. They are as follows:

Super Abilities in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
Ability Appearance Description
KRtDLD Flare Beam.png
This is a super version of the Beam ability.
It allows Kirby to freely control an electric ball that can destroy star-marked enemies and obstacles as well as electrify Beam lamps.
KRtDLD Grand Hammer.png
This is a super version of the Hammer ability.
It gives Kirby three stages of charge to hammer down giant stakes and produce shockwaves.

KRtDLD Snow Bowl.png
This is a super version of the Ice ability.
It gives Kirby the ability to become a large snowball that can roll and jump, destroying star-marked enemies and obstacles on his way. This is notably similar to the Ice-Ice Power Combo from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
KRtDLD Ultra Sword.png
This is a super version of the Sword ability.
It gives Kirby a large sword (with several variations) that can destroy star-marked enemies and obstacles.

Enemies

The new enemy, called アーマロイド (Armoroid) in Japanese,[4] that provides Mecha when inhaled.

Based on the footage and premise, it is likely that most, if not all of the enemies, mid-bosses, and bosses in the original Kirby's Return to Dream Land will be returning in this remake. However, aside from the ones seen in prerelease material, none can be explicitly confirmed to appear, as it may be the case that an old enemy gets replaced by another, as has happened in cases such as Bounder, Togezo, and Rolling Turtle in previous games.

The following enemies have been spotted in trailers and other prerelease material for the game:

Mid-Bosses

Bosses

Merry Magoland

Wide view of Merry Magoland, with all the Sub-Games visible.
Kirby and friends arriving at the park via Warp Star.

Merry Magoland is a new area of the game where Kirby and up to three other players can participate in competitive Sub-Games. This replaces their previous location on the Lor Starcutter in the original game, but in return, there are far more than in previous games, with most returning from older games in the Kirby series.

The Sub-Games are hosted by Manager Magolor, who gives Kirby tips and, if the player is connected to Nintendo Switch Online, will share data from other players around the world, like Wise Waddle Dee in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Despite this, Merry Magoland is same system-only, with no local communication or online multiplayer. Playing Sub-Games will accumulate stamps, which unlock cosmetic character masks or items for use in the main game.[5]

The following Sub-Games are confirmed to appear:

Sub-Games in Merry Magoland
Sub-Game Origin game Description Notes
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land A game where the contestants bat a bomb around using frying pans, and whoever doesn't bat in time gets blown up and eliminated from the game.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe A new game where the contestants run around top-down arenas and shoot at each other using laser guns. Likely a replacement for Scope Shot from the original Kirby's Return to Dream Land, which does not appear in this game.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards A game where the contestants run around an 8x8 grid platform and throw waves to drop tiles to try and make their opponents fall.
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror A game where the contestants charge up and punch a boulder to see who can create the deepest fissure in the ground.
Kirby's Adventure A game where the contestants catch eggs thrown by Robo Dedede while avoiding bombs. The original game had King Dedede throwing the eggs and bombs, but this was changed since he is a possible contestant now.
Kirby Super Star Ultra A game where the contestants shoot cardboard cutouts of enemies that pop up in a Wild West-like setting.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe A new game where the contestants try to find the book that Magolor is thinking of in a library.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land A game where the contestants toss shurikens at moving targets to try and hit the bull's-eyes.
Kirby Super Star A game where the contestants strike when prompted as quickly as they can to try to come out on top.
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe A variant of Samurai Kirby which pits Kirby against the 99 most recent times from around the world. This game depends on having connection to the internet, though it is not played live against other opponents. It is the only sub-game here that is single-player only.
Kirby: Squeak Squad A game where the contestants bump each other using special "Smash Stars" to knock each other off the arena. The Squeaks return as course obstacles as well.

Other differences from Kirby's Return to Dream Land

  • All instances of motion controls have been removed, with their original context being replaced with button or control stick inputs as appropriate.

  • King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee have been given additional moves to more closely match their appearance as Dream Friends in Kirby Star Allies and Buddies in Kirby Fighters 2.[6]
  • Kirby and company can now swim and use the Water Gun diagonally to match the swimming mechanics present in Kirby Star Allies.

Trivia

  • Despite the original Kirby's Return to Dream Land being called Kirby's Adventure Wii in European languages, no such name difference is present in this remake.[7]
    • This makes Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe the second Kirby remake of a game that originally had a different name between the American and European versions to use the original game's American name for the European title, the first being Kirby Super Star Ultra.
