Story
In distant space, a mysterious robed figure is performing a ritual in front of a large crystal heart. Releasing the seal on the heart, it suddenly shatters into pieces that scatter throughout space; some of these fragments land on Planet Popstar. Kirby suddenly wakes up to find Waddle Dees bringing food to Castle Dedede; believing that Dedede is stealing all of Dream Land's food again, Kirby sets off to stop him.
Gameplay
Gameplay is largely based upon that of previous 2D Kirby platforming games, most notably Kirby's Return to Dream Land. In addition to being able to copy enemy powers by inhaling them, Kirby can also have up to three enemies join his side by hitting them with hearts, similar to the Helper system featured in Kirby Super Star; these enemies can be computer-controlled, or controlled by additional players which can drop in our out at any time. In addition to having these enemies fight by his side, players can also combine certain abilities to either enhance the power of an ability or use a special combination attack.[5][1]
