Winter Horns is the fourth level of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, accessible after clearing Wondaria Remains. It consists of five main stages and ten Treasure Road stages. There are a total of 49 Waddle Dees to rescue in this level. The boss of the level is King Dedede, who is fought in the final regular stage, An Unexpected Beast King. Winter Horns is, fittingly, filled with stages that take on a frigid winter theme, with snow, ice, and freezing water being commonplace. The ruins here are largely made of brick and cobble, reflecting an architectural style similar to that of Victorian-era London.
