''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' is the first mainline ''Kirby'' game to take place in a 3D setting, albeit with Kirby having much of the same moveset as in the 2D games. He can walk, [[dash]], and [[jump]] to move around each level. He can [[hover]] as always, but it appears to have a limited height in this game, unlike the unlimited height seen in 2D titles. Kirby can also [[guard]] against incoming attacks and [[dodge]] out of harm's way. Lastly, he keeps his trademark ability to [[inhale]] objects, including larger ones, and spit them out as projectiles. It seems that [[Star Bullet]]s do not appear in this game, and Kirby instead spits out objects as-is, much like in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. The familiar [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] also return, now with expanded attacks that take advantage of the third dimension. | ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' is the first mainline ''Kirby'' game to take place in a 3D setting, albeit with Kirby having much of the same moveset as in the 2D games.

Collectibles along the way include [[food]], as well as new objects of unknown purpose, such as coins with a design similar to [[Score Coin]]s (that can be found out in the open, by defeating enemies, and by solving puzzles), a green diamond, a gachapon capsule, and even a pile of bananas. It is not yet known how Kirby travels to and from each stage, but he is seen riding a [[Warp Star]] to various locations. Stages are much more open-ended than in previous installments, and [[door]]s appear to be fewer in number. The main objective appears to involve freeing Waddle Dees from cages, rather than simply reaching a goal door. | ||
