Harness the power of a mysterious mech to stop the ruthless Haltmann Works Company from mechanizing Kirby's home world. Smash through tough obstacles, lift heavy objects with ease, and scan enemies to shape-shift into new Modes with powerful abilities in this supercharged action-platformer!

That's right—Kirby's Robobot Armor can shape-shift into different modes by scanning enemies to copy their moves—like the new Jet Mode. Not to mention, Kirby™ can copy abilities the old-fashioned way too—by inhaling them! After saving the world, team up with three friends to defeat foes in Team Kirby Clash, an RPG-styled 4-player* brawl where you choose from varied classes and level them up. Need a quick fix? Take on challenges in a 3D space and aim for a high score in Kirby 3D Rumble. Ready for a challenge? Play as Meta Knight in a blazing-fast time attack mode to fight new bosses and tougher enemies while Kirby takes a well-deserved nap!

• Use the mysterious Robobot Armor to scan enemies and shape-shift into powerful Modes
• Kirby's copy ability returns, allowing him to inhale, spit out foes, and transform
• Employ new and improved Copy Abilities including:

-Doctor: Use clip boards, throw pills, and mix concoctions

-ESP: Wear a cool hat and use psychic abilities

-Poison: Spray toxic mists and other noxious abilities

-Super Smash Bros.: Gain Kirby's updated Super Smash Bros.™ move set

• Use the Download Play feature in Team Kirby Clash, an RPG-styled mode for up to 4 players* (or sharpen your skills by playing solo)
• Enjoy a selection of additional game modes, including Meta Knightmare Returns, Kirby 3D Rumble, and The Arena
• Collect hidden code cubes and stickers in every level and use the stickers to decorate your Robobot Armor

Story

Haltmann Works Company, an industrialization company composed entirely of robots, has invaded Pop Star to turn it into a mechanical factory. King Dedede and Meta Knight try in vain to stop the invaders, and it falls to Kirby to free his home from the robots.

Gameplay

Much of the basic gameplay remains the same as in previous Kirby platforming games, and is mostly borrowed from Kirby: Triple Deluxe, allowing Kirby to travel into the foreground and background. For this game, Kirby can pilot a mech known as the Robobot Armor, a powerful armor that adapts itself depending on the Copy Ability currently being used.

Four additional game modes have been confirmed for this game. The first is Team Kirby Clash, a multiplayer RPG-style game in which players take specific roles to battle enemies. 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. The multiplayer modes can be played using either local play or Download Play.

By scanning an amiibo during gameplay, Kirby will obtain a random Copy Ability, though some amiibo will grant him specific abilities, and the Kirby series amiibo will give him exclusive abilities.
