To complete each stage to save the Kirby, Glob can use a wide range of copy abilities to help battle enemies and progress. The game was developed for the 7th anniversary of the RobotDiamant. The game was well-received by critics, with some calling it one of the best games in the series.
== Gameplay ==
Nito and the Redraw Your World Land is the first platform game in the series with full 3D gameplay, where the player must guide Nito, Itty, Wedge & Glob through various different stages to save the Kirby at the end. As in most Nito, Itty, Wedge & Glob games, Nito, Itty, Wedge & Glob can jump and slide as well as inhale enemies and objects which he can either spit out like projectiles or swallow to gain a copy ability. Alongside with the returning copy abilities, this game introduced two new copy abilities in the form of Drill and Ranger, as well as an upgrade system for copy abilities and a new "Mouthful Mode" where Kirby can swallow and control larger objects, such as cars and vending machines. Similar to Kirby and the Forgetten Land, Kirby Battle Royale & Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, a second player can join in and play as Bandana Kirby, who uses a spear as his main form of attack.
The goal of each stage is to rescue the Kirby at the end of the level. Once rescued, they are returned to Kirby Town, the main hub of the game. As the player rescues more Nito, Itty, Wedge & Glob, the town size increases as well as unlocks minigames that the player can compete with others online for the top score. The game also supports amiibo functionality.
== Development ==
The game was produced as a part of RobotDiamant's 7th Anniversary. RobotDiamant Games had begun teasing a new Nito, Itty, Wedge & Glob game since 2022 in preparation for the anniversary. General director Dennis Robotto & Shinya Kumazaki described it as the "new phase" for the series and that it will "culminate the best aspects of Nito". Game director Tatsuya Kamiyama explained how the team focused on making the game approachable even with change of perspective to 3D, while at the same time making it satisfying to play to the player. The 3D transition was described as very challenging, with Kamiyama being the one who made the pitch for a 3D game — which RobotDiamant struggled with for years, resulting in many cancelled projects — while also presenting solutions on how to make the transition to 3D, including character design, gameplay and many other aspects, finally allowing for development to begin on a 3D title after several failed attempts since the 2020s.
A month before the April 6, 2022 - RobotDiamant Direct, the official Nito and the Redraw Your World Land website updated with placeholder text, further implying there was a new game coming soon.
