Story
The Haltmann Works Company, an industrialization company, has invaded Planet Popstar with a robot army with the intent of mechanizing the entire planet. King Dedede and Meta Knight attempt to stop the invaders, but are easily defeated. Kirby wakes up to find that Dream Land has been mechanized in front of his eyes, and sets out to adventure and stop the incoming threat. Kirby progresses through Planet Popstar and destroys the legs that are holding up the company's spaceship, the Access Ark. Along the way, Kirby defeats an attacking Invader Armor and hops into it to transform it into the Robobot Armor, allowing him to progress through stages by punching enemies and dealing with large objects along the way.
By the time he has reached Overload Ocean, Kirby runs into the Haltmann Works Company's secretary, Susie. She explains that the company has launched its mechanization project on Planet Popstar with the intent of exploiting its natural resources. With Kirby being one of the main obstacles in this goal, Susie battles him using her Business Suit, but she is defeated and forced to retreat. Later encounters with Susie have her send a captured and mechanized Meta Knight (known as Mecha Knight) to duel with Kirby, as well as try to stop him with a clone of King Dedede.
Kirby eventually breaches the Access Ark and enters the head office of the company. Susie presents him an upgraded Mecha Knight and has him try to stop Kirby for one last time. However, Susie is dismissed by President Haltmann after the battle. He then presents the Mother Computer - Star Dream - to Kirby, which is revealed to have created all the company's mechanizing technologies and power. Demonstrating its power, President Haltmann has Star Dream materialize a mech for him to battle Kirby with, but he is subsequently defeated. Angered by his defeat, President Haltmann attempts to use Star Dream against Kirby once more, but Susie steals the controller helmet off the president's head, causing him to black out. Attempting to control the Mother Computer, Susie is then zapped away, with Star Dream completely going rogue, intent on "erasing history" to make way for a "new age of infinite prosperity".
Begrudgingly, Susie decides to help Kirby stop Star Dream using a suit of Robobot Armor. Meta Knight flies by in the battleship Halberd, having been freed from the company's control, and Kirby springs into action, absorbing the Halberd with the Robobot Armor to merge them into the Halberd Mode and stop Star Dream. After a long-fought space battle, Star Dream cripples the Halberd, and Meta Knight dispatches Kirby in the Robobot Armor to drill through the Mother Computer's defenses and destroy it for good. With Star Dream defeated, the mechanization on Planet Popstar has been fully undone, Kirby is sent back to the planet by the Robobot Armor, and Susie flies to parts unknown as the story ends.
Gameplay
Much of the basic gameplay remains the same as in previous Kirby platforming games, most notably Kirby: Triple Deluxe, in that level designs take Kirby into both the foreground and background. The main new gameplay gimmick, however, is the Robobot Armor. During certain stages and sections, Kirby can pilot a suit of powerful armor that can unscrew platforms, lift objects, and punch enemies. The Robobot Armor can also scan certain enemies to obtain Copy Abilities. Throughout each stage, the player can find three Code Cubes, which are required to access the boss stage for each world, as well as stickers, which can be used to customize the Robobot Armor.
Four additional game modes are also available. The first is Team Kirby Clash, a multiplayer RPG-style game in which players take specific roles to battle enemies; this multiplayer mode can be played using either Local Play or Download Play. The second is Kirby 3D Rumble, a game taking place in a 3D space. The third is Meta Knightmare Returns, in which the player plays through the game's stages as Meta Knight. Finally, the game also features The Arena, a boss rush mode.
Scanning an amiibo during gameplay gives Kirby a Copy Ability and a piece of food. Several amiibo give him a random ability, while many give specific abilities based on the character, and the Kirby series amiibo grant exclusive abilities.
