It is a sequel to ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', which was itself an expanded version of the ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' [[Sub-Game]] [[Kirby Fighters]], being the second ''Kirby'' series sequel to an expanded Sub-Game, with the first being ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''. ''Kirby Fighters 2'' is exclusively downloadable from the [[Nintendo]] eShop and as such, no physical copy of the game exists.
'''''Kirby Fighters 2''''' is a spin-off fighting game in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], announced and released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on September 23rd, 2020 in North America and September 24th, 2020 internationally. It is a sequel to ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', which was itself an expanded version of the ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' [[Sub-Game]] [[Kirby Fighters]]; it is the second sequel to an expanded Sub-Game in the series, with the first being ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''. ''Kirby Fighters 2'' is exclusively downloadable from the Nintendo eShop, and as such, there is no version of it on a cartridge. A physical edition was released in South Korea, but it merely contains a download code for a digital copy.


Like its previous iterations, ''Kirby Fighters 2'' is a fighting game featuring various [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] of [[Kirby]] and - for the first time - other characters such as [[King Dedede]], [[Magolor]], and [[Gooey]]. The objective is to be the last fighter (or team) standing in battles that take place at various locations throughout the ''Kirby'' series and with various items. New to ''Kirby Fighters 2'', in addition to the aforementioned new characters and Copy Abilities, is a [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals|story mode]] which features Kirby and a buddy of his choosing receiving a challenge from [[King Dedede & Meta Knight]], who have teamed up in an attempt to finally defeat Kirby.
The day prior to its announcement and subsequent release, knowledge of the game's existence was leaked accidentally by Nintendo.<ref>[https://www.gematsu.com/2020/09/kirby-fighters-2-for-switch-announcement-leaked Kirby Fighters 2 for Switch announcement leaked - Gematsu]</ref>

''Kirby Fighters 2'', much like its predecessor ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', is a platform-fighting game where the objective is to reduce all opponents' [[stamina|health]] to zero before the same is done to the player's character (and ally, if applicable). There is a total of 22 playable characters (17 [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] of [[Kirby]], plus five other characters referred to as "buddies"), each with different move-sets which give them various advantages and disadvantages. Aside from these move-sets and other minor differences ([[King Dedede]]'s size and 15% greater health, different methods of [[Hover]]ing, etc.), all characters have roughly the same attributes. In addition, all characters have access to either a [[Inhale#Gobble|Gobble]] or a Grab, a [[Guard]] technique, and the ability to [[Dodge]]. When fighters are defeated (and an ally is still in play) they can revive themselves as [[Ghost]]s and potentially return to the fight by attacking an enemy in this form, reviving the ghost fighter with a fraction of their original health. By default, all fighters start the battle with 200 health, though if fighters' health drops below 25%, they will take 25% less damage from all attacks to give them a better chance of recovering. The last player standing while everyone else is knocked out wins the battle; it is possible, however, for the last two combatants to be KO'd at around the same time, ending the match in a draw.<ref>https://twitter.com/qwertz143/status/1401992655601430529</ref>
''Kirby Fighters 2'' plays largely the same as its predecessor ''Kirby Fighters Deluxe'', but features a slew of new content, most notably 17 different [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] to choose from, as well as five other playable characters. New to this iteration are local play options using Nintendo Switch systems and online play, as well as a new story mode and survival challenge. The story mode features boss battles against various enemies, including [[Twin Woods]] and [[Duo Edge]].


In multiplayer battle modes, upon selecting a character, the player will be given a prompt to select a Handicap. The player's selected handicap will affect their damage output, health, and the effectiveness of [[Guard|guarding]]. The options include:
In addition, the game features an experience system which allows the player to unlock [[Alternate Costumes]] for the characters, new Copy Abilities and new stages, much like in ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]''.

Battles take place on one of 20 distinct [[Battle Stage]]s which (barring some with identical layout) have varying platform layouts and stage hazards. During fights, items drop in on a regular basis which fighters can use to their advantage, whether that be recovering health with some [[food]] items, attacking enemies with items like the [[Crackler]] or [[Mint Leaf]], or using other items to apply temporary power-ups, like the [[Cheer Pom-Poms]] or [[Invincible Candy]]. Particularly noteworthy among the items is the Team Battle-exclusive [[Buddy Star Blaster]], which requires the two partners to work together to reassemble, and from there, blast the opposing team with a devastating attack.

{{main|Story Mode: The Destined Rivals}}
*[[Gooey]]
New to this game is a story mode which involves [[King Dedede]] and [[Meta Knight]] challenging Kirby and a buddy to a duel atop a tall tower referred to as the Buddy Fighters Tower. This story mode takes place in five distinct chapters, which has Kirby and his selected buddy facing several battles in succession while recovering in-between and choosing items to power up along the way to the tower's "Summit". In effect, these chapters act as difficulty modes, as each one in succession features more battles and tougher [[boss]] fights.
*[[King Dedede]]
*[[Magolor]]
*[[Meta Knight]]


====Bosses in Story Mode====
===Misc.===
There are a total of four distinct bosses in the story mode (five if Waning Masked Dedede & Waxing Masked Meta Knight are counted as a distinct boss), and they are re-fought multiple times with each subsequent fight being tougher and featuring new enemy moves. The bosses are as follows:
*[[Ghost]]

|They are the first boss of Story Mode (fought as the final boss of Chapter 1), and are fought a few times in subsequent chapters. They share some of [[Whispy Woods]]' attacks from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', and are able to move around independently from each other.

|In the second Story Mode battle, Shadow Kirby uses a [[Copy Ability]] that corresponds to the selected buddy, and both the first and third battle has him mimicking the same selected ability as the player. His battle music changes on Very Hard of [[Single-Handed Mode]] and both battles in the Final Chapter of [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]].

|This dual boss battle features [[King Dedede]] & [[Meta Knight]], using combinations of their attacks to try and defeat [[Kirby]] and his buddy. They are fought as the final bosses of Chapter 2 (who are actually disguised Waddle Dees) and subsequent chapters.

|In their eagerness to finally defeat Kirby and his buddy, King Dedede & Meta Knight don the Mask of Dark Bonds to become a more powerful duo and finally overwhelm their rivals. This boss fight can be considered the true final boss of the game, if not counted as a second phase of the final fight.
|}
 
===Single-Handed Mode===
[[File:KF2 Website Screenshot 1.jpg|right|thumb|200px|[[Wrestler]] Kirby beats up [[Shadow Kirby]] in Single-Handed Mode.]]
{{Main|Single-Handed Mode}}
The [[Single-Handed Mode]] is a solo single-player mode that plays almost identically to the Single Player Mode in the previous two games. It most notably resembles the version in the original [[Kirby Fighters]], as [[Shadow Kirby]] is the final boss instead of [[Team DDD]], which is not in ''Kirby Fighters 2'', and [[Kracko]] is not present as a boss either.
 
===Other modes===
Aside from the single-player modes, the following additional options are in ''Kirby Fighters 2'':
*'''Battle Mode''' - A mode which allows players to set up battles to their own specifications on a single Nintendo Switch system.
*'''[[Online features|Online Mode]]''' - A mode which utilizes Nintendo Switch Online matchmaking to arrange 2v2 battles with standard rules and a random stage or play with friends using a custom ruleset.
*'''Local Play Mode''' - A mode which allows local users with separate Nintendo Switch systems to play together.
*'''Training''' - A mode which allows the player to practice with various Copy Abilities or buddies.
*'''Rewards List''' - A mode which lets the player see what has been unlocked with [[Fighters Rank|Fighters Points]].
*'''Options''' - A mode which allows access to information about other ''Kirby'' games, viewing the credits, or toggling rumble settings.

==List of Copy Abilities and characters==

==Demo==
==Items==
A demo of the game was released on the [[wikipedia:Nintendo eShop|Nintendo eShop]] on October 21, 2020. The demo only allows access to Local Play, Online Play, Training, Rewards List, Options and the first chapter of [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]]. The player can accumulate up to 100 Fighters Points but cannot level up past Fighters Rank 1.
*[[Action Star]]
 
*[[Bomber]]
Only three Copy Abilities and one buddy are available to play: [[Sword]], [[Bomb]], [[Staff]] and [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], and the stages that are available to play on are Green Gardens, Dried-up Sea, Springy Hand Land, and Training. As the player cannot increase their [[Fighters Rank]] and can only play Chapter 1 of Story Mode, the rest of the abilities, buddies, [[Costumes#Kirby Fighters 2|Rare Hats]], and stages are not available.
*[[Buddy Shooting Star]]
 
*[[Cheer Pom-Poms]]
In Local Play and Online Mode, it is not possible to create a group in the Friend Match menu, but the player can still join a group (provided that the host owns the full version of the game) and battle with other people online, regardless if they have the full version or not.

==Nintendo eShop description==
<big>'''''Kirby vs. Kirby vs. Kirby vs. Kirby'''''</big>
 
''Choose from a cast of Kirby's most iconic copy abilities—including the brand-new Wrestler ability—and duke it out to be the last Kirby standing. Familiar friends and foes like Bandana Waddle Dee and King Dedede also make an appearance as playable characters.''
 
'''''Prove your pink puffball prowess and scale the tower in Story Mode'''''
 
''Meta Knight and King Dedede have seemingly teamed up to challenge Kirby to a buddy gauntlet! Fight alongside a buddy (player or computer controlled) to scale the tower, choosing helpful items between each round that will power you up for the rest of your ascent.''
 
'''''Friends can join the fray locally or online'''''
 
''Up to four players can battle on the same system, with local wireless, or online! Choose a free-for-all or team battle and customize the rules to your liking.''
 
''Each of the playable abilities and characters has a distinct play style and set of moves. Abilities like Cutter and Archer excel at ranged attacks, while Wrestler and Fighter like to get up close and personal! Other characters like Gooey and Bandana Waddle Dee bring a variety of moves from past Kirby games. Experiment with them all to find and master your favorite.''
 
''Earn Fighters Points as you play to level up your Fighters Rank to unlock abilities, characters, stages, and more. You'll even unlock Rare Hats that change the look of certain copy abilities—Cutter Kirby rocking a mohawk is a sight to see.''
 
''When you aren’t battling with friends or scaling the tower in Story Mode, Single-Handed mode is a one-player time trial of 9 back-to-back battles! It's great for practicing your skills or gaining some Fighters Points.''
 
''Players with save data for the Kirby Star Allies game can get Rare Hats of the Three Mage Sisters, and players with save data for the Super Kirby Clash game can get a Rare Hat for Sword Kirby.''

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*The game's internal codename is "Fizz", matching with the food-themed codenames of previous games, such as "Parufe" (''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'') and "Eclair" (''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''). Internal references also suggest that [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]] was codenamed "Rogue".
*The game's internal codename is "Fizz", matching with the food-themed codenames of previous games, such as "Parufe" (''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'') and "Eclair" (''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'').
*This is the first ''Kirby'' game released after the debut of [[amiibo]] to not be compatible with them.
**The internal files also contain partially complete code for "Kirby3d".<ref>[https://twitter.com/firubiii/status/1308995437379158016?s=19 firubiii on Twitter]</ref>
*Most, if not all of the moves in this game that had invincibility frames in games prior (Hammer Twirl and Hammer Swing, for example) no longer make the user invincible during regular battles, a trait carried over from the other Kirby Fighters games. However, when facing a boss other than Shadow Kirby, the invincibility is retained.
*This is the first spin-off title to introduce a new Copy Ability, with Wrestler, since ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'', with [[Balloon]].
**Oddly enough, one exception to this major change is Bell Kirby's Bell Block move, which retains invincibility frames as Kirby gets out of his bell hat when letting go of the guard button, allowing him to avoid many attacks that others wouldn't after guarding.
*The [https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/kirby-fighters-2-switch/ American and Canadian Nintendo Store webpages for the game] listed Brazilian Portuguese as one of the language options, even though the game does not support it, instead defaulting to English. This mistake does not occur on the Japanese, European, Australian, Chinese and Korean webpages, and was corrected later on.
*Much like in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', inputting the code +/- and Y (Pro Controller / vertical Joy-Con) or +/ and B (horizontal Joy-Con) on the credits selection in Options after beating the Story Mode will play the standard credits sequence normally accessible from a brand-new save file.
