''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' follows from the plot and style of ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', once again involving Kirby utilizing his [[Animal Friend]]s along with a benign piece of Dark Matter called [[Gooey]].<ref>{{quote|Gooey is Kirby's good friend. While he's made from the same stuff as Dark Matter, he doesn't have an evil spirit.|''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' Instruction booklet}}</ref> In this title, Dark Matter implants itself on Popstar using a [[Dark Matter (cloud)|dark cloud]] and starts corrupting the minds of impressionable creatures, turning them into foes for Kirby to defeat and liberate. Along the way, Kirby can do good deeds in each area to receive a [[Heart Star]] from various denizens of Popstar. If he collected all of them, he can once again face down against the true villain, this time forging the [[Love-Love Stick]] before giving chase. At the heart of the dark cloud - a place called [[Hyper Zone]] - Kirby and Gooey do battle with Dark Matter, and then with [[Zero]] - its pure white spherical core - who attacks Kirby and Gooey using volleys of its own blood. Upon Zero's defeat, the rest of Dark Matter's forces dissipate, and Popstar is once again freed from its influence.<ref>For now.</ref>

In both ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]'', Kirby is transformed into a yarn outline of himself by an evil sorcerer called [[Yin-Yarn]] who proceeds to transform all of Dream Land into a yarn parody of itself. Kirby is banished to [[Patch Land]], where he teams up with a local yarn boy named [[Prince Fluff]] to stop Yin-Yarn and save both Patch Land and Dream Land by finding the [[Magic Yarn]]. After Yin-Yarn is defeated, Kirby and his realm are returned to normal, and he gains a [[Magic Sock]] as a memento of his adventure, as well as a way to return to Patch Land whenever he wants to.

In this game, Kirby has a very different set of abilities due to having been transformed into a yarn outline. The [[metamato]] he ate in the opening cutscene gives him the power to transform into all manner of things, including a [[car]], a [[pendulum]], a [[parachute]], and a [[weight]]. His main means of attack is with a [[Yarn Whip]] that he throws out at enemies to unravel them or turn them into [[yarn ball]]s. He can also use [[Metamortex]]es to transform into more potent but more situational forms.

===''Kirby Battle Royale''===
Continuing the 3D formula from ''Kirby's Blowout Blast'', ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'' pits Kirby against [[Color|clones of himself]] in several battle mini-games using various Copy Abilities to win a massive cake in a tournament held by King Dedede titled "[[Dedede's Cake Royale|The Cake Royale]]". With Dedede's attempts to humiliate Kirby by seeing him defeated in the games failing, he takes his [[Kirby Printer]] and merges it into a [[Dededestroyer Z|giant robot]] in an attempt to crush his pink rival directly. Kirby's unstoppable urge for cake overcomes this as well, destroying the robot and the printer, taking all the Kirby clones with it.

====Role in The Subspace Emissary====
====Role in The Subspace Emissary====
Kirby plays a major role in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''{{'}}s adventure mode, [[smashwiki:The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]]. After having a friendly bout with [[smashwiki:Mario|Mario]], he has to rescue either [[smashwiki:Princess Peach|Princess Peach]] or [[smashwiki:Princess Zelda|Zelda]] from [[smashwiki:Petey Piranha|Petey Piranha]] after he and an army of enemies known as Primids invade the arena. After the battle is over, Kirby then has to escape with the princess he saved from a bomb that had been planted in the arena during the fight, which sucks the whole area into a different dimension known as Subspace. From there, after a series of team break-ups and reunions, Kirby ends up as part of a team including Mario, [[smashwiki:Link|Link]], [[smashwiki:Yoshi|Yoshi]], and [[smashwiki:Pit|Pit]] as they try to stop more subspace bombs from going off.

Along the way, Kirby finds a badge on the ground bearing the image of [[King Dedede]], and it is implied that Kirby swallows it. Near the end, nearly all of the fighters end up in one team once the [[Halberd]] is liberated from enemy control. The team uses it to engage in an assault on a giant Subspace cannon which emerges from a particularly large subspace bubble. Though the Halberd is destroyed, it and the fleet of smaller ships that emerge from it create a diversion which allows Kirby to fly into the giant cannon using the [[Dragoon]], crippling it. The team enters the subspace bubble to defeat whatever may be behind it, but the ultimate villain - known as [[smashwiki:Tabuu|Tabuu]] - sends out a giant pulse of energy that defeats all of them at once, turning them into inanimate trophies. However, the Dedede badge that Kirby had eaten earlier activates sometime later, reviving him along with a handful of other fighters. They revive the rest of the team and then defeat Tabuu, restoring the world.
