Planet '''Popstar''' ('''Pop Star''' in older games) is the yellow star-shaped iconic home world of [[Kirby]] and his closest friends in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It is known throughout the ''Kirby'' universe and even outside the series; its cartoon-like ringed appearance first popularized in ''[[Kirby Super Star|{{KSS KFP}}]]''. Its brightly-col{{o}}red, surreal, and vibrant landscapes also make it a well-represented Nintendo locale, akin to [[zw:Hyrule|Hyrule]] in ''The Legend of Zelda'' series and the [[mariowiki:Mushroom Kingdom|Mushroom Kingdom]] in the ''Super Mario'' series.  
'''''{{KRDL KAW}}''''' (known as {{UserLang|us='''''Kirby's Adventure Wii''''' in British English|gb='''''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''''' in American English}}, and originally known under its working title '''''Kirby Wii''''') is a main series ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' game released for the [[Wii]] in late 2011. It was the first main series title to be released on a home console since ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', and would remain the latest title to have that distinction until the release of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' in 2018. Much of this game is derived from the leftover work done on [[Kirby (Nintendo GameCube)|the canceled Nintendo GameCube ''Kirby'' game]]. In 2015, ''{{KRDL KAW}}'' was released as a digital download for the [[Wii U]].


Though not always explicitly mentioned through the series, nearly every ''Kirby'' game take place on Planet Popstar's surface, whether that be in the oft-seen kingdom of [[Dream Land]] or somewhere else in the surrounding countryside, seas, or skies. When viewed from outer space, Popstar does not appear to have any landmarks (with an often rough and cratered yellow surface), but when looking closer toward the ground, it takes on Earth-like continents, islands, and oceans, though the landmasses are often star-shaped. Due to its natural beauty and energy, Popstar is frequently the target of villainous alien invaders, who Kirby and his friends must fight off time and again. The closest that Popstar ever came to full subjugation was in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', when [[Dark Matter]] enveloped the world, and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', when the world was briefly infested by the machinery of the [[Haltmann Works Company]]. In both instances, the planet was able to quickly restore itself after the respective villains were defeated.
As the American title suggests, ''{{KRDL KAW}}'' returns the series to its traditional gameplay, and tasks [[Kirby]] to traverse several different levels, each with four or more stages, while obtaining and utilizing [[Copy Ability|copy abilities]] and battling enemies, [[Mid-Boss]]es, and [[boss]]es. However, several new gameplay features have been added; notably the addition of four-player co-operative play (allowing additional players to join in at any time using [[King Dedede]], [[Meta Knight]], or [[Bandana Waddle Dee]]), four all-new standard copy abilities, and a set of special [[Super Ability|Super Abilities]] which are powered-up versions of familiar ones, used at specific points in stages. ''{{KRDL KAW}}'' takes a lot of inspiration from ''[[Kirby Super Star|{{KSS KFP}}]]'' and {{KSSU}}, particularly when it comes to combat, though the level structure more closely resembles ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. ''{{KRDL KAW}}'' also makes use of full 3-D graphics, though only for visual purposes, as the game proper is still played in two dimensions.

Template:KRDL KAW (known as Kirby's Adventure Wii in British English, and originally known under its working title Kirby Wii) is a main series Kirby game released for the Wii in late 2011. It was the first main series title to be released on a home console since Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and would remain the latest title to have that distinction until the release of Kirby Star Allies in 2018. Much of this game is derived from the leftover work done on the canceled Nintendo GameCube Kirby game. In 2015, Template:KRDL KAW was released as a digital download for the Wii U.

As the American title suggests, Template:KRDL KAW returns the series to its traditional gameplay, and tasks Kirby to traverse several different levels, each with four or more stages, while obtaining and utilizing copy abilities and battling enemies, Mid-Bosses, and bosses. However, several new gameplay features have been added; notably the addition of four-player co-operative play (allowing additional players to join in at any time using King Dedede, Meta Knight, or Bandana Waddle Dee), four all-new standard copy abilities, and a set of special Super Abilities which are powered-up versions of familiar ones, used at specific points in stages. Template:KRDL KAW takes a lot of inspiration from [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]] and Template:KSSU, particularly when it comes to combat, though the level structure more closely resembles Kirby's Adventure. Template:KRDL KAW also makes use of full 3-D graphics, though only for visual purposes, as the game proper is still played in two dimensions.
