About This Item

Charge, boost, and spin to attack your rivals in this vehicle action game featuring Kirby and crew. Pick your rider, pick your machine, and mount up for competition! Take on your rivals in frantic arena battles or fast-paced races on the ground and in the air. Use the Boost Charge button to brake and control your turns as your machine automatically fights for top speed. Fill your Boost Charge Gauge as you drift around the bend and release it to trigger an explosive dash! Choose from a variety of riders like Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Magolor from the Kirby’s Return to Dream Land game, and machines including the Warp Star, Wheelie Bike, Chariot, and more. Each machine handles differently, and each rider has their own set of stats and Specials—they can also grab Copy Abilities off their foes to get an edge in the fray. Take on highly varied arena battles in City Trial, or race to the finish in Air Ride. Zip around the city of Skyah in City Trial: a free-for-all battle for 16 players online* or 8 players via local wireless. Roam around Skyah to find machines, collect power-ups, and survive through unpredictable Field Events ranging from falling meteors to powerful boss battles. After five minutes of powering up, you and your rivals will compete in one of a whole host of different Stadium contests, each with its own objective. These include drag races, battle arenas, skydiving for points and more, so it helps to be ready for anything! If more straightforward racing is to your liking, check out Air Ride a frantic dash where you can race again 5 other Riders, or compete online or via local wireless. Attack opposing Riders, or trail close behind their wake, to gather up stars—and use the speed boost they provide to beat your rivals to the finish line! Nintendo / SORA.

Q: Is this a game key card or full game card?

A: Full game. Starting Kirby. The only “key” here is you—playing this wonderful FULL game.

Q: This game has single player besides multiplayer?

A: Certainly. That which one might do together can also be done alone. There is a mode known only as Road Trip. This is the closest thing to a “campaign mode” you might expect. It’s a series of races, bonuses, bosses, and decisions. As you play, your machine and powers up and the challenges become more challenge-ish. You play through multiple stages. Fun is had.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World - Nintendo Switch 2
4.9(55)

The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has faster frame rates and higher resolution, but that’s not all—there’s also an additional story in which Kirby must use his amazing abilities, including some all-new Mouthful Modes, to clear a trail through uncharted territory after the world is struck by a powerful meteor. Hope you’re hungry for an unforgettable adventure! Get a mouthful of real-world objects for powerful transformations. Feeling hungry? Kirby can inhale real-world objects and transform using Mouthful Mode! Why get one drink from a vending machine when you can swallow the whole thing? Then, use your boxy body to shoot out cans at baddies. Consume a car to gain some wheels and slam through walls. Sit back and take it all in…literally. Join up with a pointy partner, Bandana Waddle Dee, in co-op play. Pass a Joy-Con 2 controller to a buddy to play as the spear-wielding Bandana Waddle Dee and help each other explore and battle through this colorful world. While Kirby can float and inhale enemies, Bandana Waddle Dee can spin and stab with his sturdy spear. Find friendship in this Forgotten Land and save the Waddle Dees! Float over obstacles and fight through enemies on your way to each stage’s goal as you slash, poke, freeze, and hammer using Kirby’s Copy Abilities. The tough puff is truly put to the test in dynamic boss battles that will keep you dancing about the arena. Choose from two difficulty modes for either a light, breezy adventure or a more challenging experience. Each themed stage you travel through will hide several friendly Waddle Dees in peril! Save them to grow the home base of your adventure, the once-deserted Waddle Dee Town. The Waddle Dees you rescue will unlock shops, leaderboards, and the ability to evolve Copy Abilities to make them stronger. You’ll also be able to enjoy some of the townsfolk’s favorite games. Use compatible amiibo accessories or Present Codes at Waddle Dee-liveries for useful in-game items. Track down cute collectibles to give Kirby’s house some extra charm either at the Gotcha Machine Alley or during your adventure.
