(They're costumes, not really them.) Collecting more strawberries also gives you little character emblem collectibles and access to more stages. These also include King Dedede and Meta Knight. There are also costumes you can earn (with in-game currency there's no micro-transactions scheme) to change Kirby's appearance and colour. And there's also Battle Royale, featuring beating up other opponents with Copy Food Abilities and stealing strawberries. Which still involves collecting strawberries in a limited themed area. Kirby's Dream Buffet also has a brand-new Copy Ability called Jelly, which lets Kirby “easily slip through walls” that look cracked. The contents of the boxes may be randomised or semi-randomised. That's not from swallowing enemies, apparently, but by opening up the equivalent to Mario Kart item boxes. And he also has access to Copy Food Abilities. Kirby will get bigger and faster (and more weight to push other Kirby characters away) but have a bigger hurtbox the more he eats. First is Race, which is what they initially showed. They've discussed three game types (all involving eating strawberries and growing bigger). So let's talk about Kirby's Dream Buffet in a bit more detail per the overview trailer. That includes the Battleship Halberd (Meta Knight's Revenge) theme from Kirby Super Star that had an unofficial remix win a Grammy award earlier this year.Īh, but I'm going to have a whole thing about Kirby music pretty soon since I need to discuss the 30th anniversary music fest. Not saying it'll win (and it'll also compete with Kirby and the Forgotten Land in the process), but there is a lot of good music here. This incorrect info was entirely Nintendo's own fault and I take no responsibility for commenting on official (but wrong) information.Īnyway, like other Kirby games, Kirby's Dream Buffet will end up being nominated for Best OST of 2022 at KoopaTV. It also means that there is online play for up to four players, as well as local wireless for up to four players (four different Nintendo Switch systems in a room).

That means that Kirby's Dream Buffet only supports two-player split screen multiplayer as opposed to four-player split screen multiplayer (which may be a dealbreaker for you).

However, now that Kirby's Dream Buffet is actually out, Nintendo changed that number of players to read “Single System (1–2) | Local wireless (2–4) | Online (1–4)”. This resulted in me writing that the game does not support online multiplayer. When Nintendo first announced Kirby's Dream Buffet, they said that the number of players that can play were “ Single System (1–4)”.

I need to address some incorrect information that was in my original article.
