Return to Dream Land sees Kirby and his friends set off on an adventure to help Magolor, an alien that crash landed on Planet Popstar, get home.

The game includes many of Kirby's familiar Copy Abilities like sword and parasol, and (as if giving Kirby a gun wasn't enough earlier this year) a new ability called mecha which puts Kirby inside a mecha suit complete with rockets, lasers and strong punches.

New sub-games have been added. The game will support up to four players in co-op, with everyone taking a different shade of Kirby.
