How it plays

  • Player two is Bandana Waddle Dee, a spear-wielding helper who cannot copy abilities or use Mouthful Mode, so it is a sidekick role best suited to a younger or newer player.

  • The camera follows Kirby, so the helper has to keep up.

  • The Switch 2 Edition adds the extra Star-Crossed World story.

  • Cozy
  • Action
  • Easy to chat while playing
  • Newcomer friendly
  • Good with kids
