Kirby & Friends in: The Forgotten Land

Kirby & Friends in: The Forgotten Land is a 3D platformer Kirby game on the Nintendo Switch family, launched on March 2022. While NOT technically the first 3D Kirby Game overall (Because Air Ride and 3D Rumble (Planet Robobot)), it's the first Main-Line Story based Kirby game to be in 3D.

# General Knowledge

## Gameplay

In Galaga!Heroverse, the game is played in a Wide-Open Sandbox game mode, with 360 degrees camera like in Super Mario Odyssey and Grand Theft Auto series, IF you're playing Single-Player and/or Online-Multiplayer Co-Op, but the camera is restricted like normal when playing Local-Multiplayer-Co-Op. Mouthful Mode is still a thing EXCEPT Car-Mouth and Big-Rig Mouth as these two are retooled as Driver-Mode, because Kirby ACTUALLY KNOWS how to drive a car as shown in his Warp-Star kart when he was going Air-Ride and Mario-Kart.

Also, up to 4-players can play in Local-Multiplayer-Co-Op mode, but 8 players can play together in Online-Multiplayer-Co-Op mode.

## Story

The game's story starts with Kirby patrolling around Dreamland "driving" his Warp-Star kart (Obviously courtesy of Mario Kart), and meeting up with Bandana Waddle Dee who's eating a donut, King Dedede who's reading some Important Documents regarding business projects and Meta Knight who's polishing his Halberd ship, that is until a Star-shaped Portal sucks them all and many millions of Waddle Dees (And Kirby's other friends albeit Off-Screen), transporting them into the titular Forgotten Land. The story is the same, albeit with Kirby, Bandana Waddle Dee, King Dedede and Meta Knight (Or any of their hero friends, depending on which player plays as who like in Kirby's Star Alliance) being main characters, oh and Elfilin wasn't evil so be thankful he's NOT the third Marx/Magolor.

Since many characters are playable, there are different changes. Kirby and his friends' other friends (Adeleine and Ribbon, Gooey, The Animal buddies, Marx, Magolor, Suzie, Taranza, etc.) were kidnapped and possessed to become evil, but these guys have the fighting spirit to be able to break free after Kirby, Bandana Waddle Dee, King Dedede and/or Meta Knight mercilessly slaughter their asses. But to top it all off, the enemy faction made Impostor!Kirby, Impostor!Bandana Waddle Dee, Impostor!King Dedede and Impostor!Meta Knight who later "ARREST" Elfilin for "Manipulating Kirby and his friends into committing Genocide".

Also Driver-Mode: When activated, Kirby (Or anyone closest to a car) enters a car like a normal person would, starts its engine and drives it like a normal person would, because he already got a Driver's License to drive the Warp-Star Kart, so this applies to regular cars. While Mouthful Mode is only specific to Kirby, Driver-Mode is available to EVERYONE, and YES, even Marx by using his wings' claw hands. Big-Rig-Driver is also a thing, and the change is SIGNIFICANT, Not only the Big-Rig-Driver be the same as Car-Driver (Driven by Kirby or any of his friends), the Semi-Truck itself ALSO changes from the original version, as it's now a 30-Wheeler B-Double-Trailer truck with Bull Bars, a Supercharger Blower you'd find on a Muscle Car and a Spoiler on the top of the tractor cab, and to top it all off, there's even a Freestyle Playground Mode where players can wander off The Forgotten Land as much as they like, and Car-Driver and Big-Rig-Driver are both available for this mode too.
