Line 7:
The game also features several minigames, which have [[The Cameo|cameo appearances]] of characters from previous Kirby titles.
 
The central plot revolves around [[Skull for Aa Head|Necrodeus]], the [[Big Bad]] of the game who splits Kirby into 10 smaller Kirbies while the original Kirby is sleeping. Necrodeus manages to kill all the Kirbies save one that escaped alive. The lone Kirby then goes off on an adventure to save DreamlandDream Land and fight Necrodeus to reunite himself once more. In the meantime, Kirby is joined by the returning Squeak Squad, and Daroach, their leader, helps Kirby by giving him hints and general tips along the way.
 
The game was released in America on September 19th, 2011, in Japan on August 4th, 2011 and in Europe on October 28th, 2011.

----
=== This game provides examples of: ===
 
* [[One Hundred Percent Completion]]
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: This game has a tank vehicle which shoots out live ammunition.Small-sized, pink ammunition...
* [[All There in the Manual]]: Daroach is the only one who provides enemy names, as well as backstory for the islands and the Skull Gang, if you talk to him on his ship.
* [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]]: A larger portion of the Kirbys on the {{media-|atsumete_5289[[Media:Atsumete 5289.jpg| North American boxart}}]] are either attacking or have furrowed brows compared to the Japanese boxart, [[Downplayed Trope|but there are still angry eyes on both]].
* [[Apes in Space]]: Some gorilla-like oohroos haul a [[Plot Coupon|next level-opening switch]] onto a spaceship and take off with it. To retrieve the switch, the Kirbys must infiltrate the apes' terrestrial headquarters, find their super secret spaceship blueprints, and assemble a their own functioning starship. The advanced technology is remarkable considering it is all researched, planned, and built by some [[Mooks]] who die in one and a half seconds of pounding.
* [[Ash Face]]:
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
** The shoot'em up minigame has more of these enemies including meteoroids.
* [[Awesome McCoolname]]/[[Meaningful Name]]: Necrodeus literally means "Death God".
* [[Back Fromfrom the Dead]]: Kirby can [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence|save some of his clones from dying]] if he can grab them quickly enough. {{spoiler|Also there's a [[Boss Rush]] at the end of the fourth world that has several resurrected bosses, and the final world which has the four world bosses back for another battle. [[Fridge Brilliance|All of this makes perfect sense considering that the main enemy Necrodeus is a Death God.]]}}
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Kirby, especially now that he has ten [[Fun Size]] versions of himself to save the day. It's practically cuteness overload!
* [[Big Eater]]: Kirby, of course. It's actually mandatory to eat a lot of fruit to gain more Kirby clones.
Line 31 ⟶ 30:
* [[Boss Rush]]: The penultimate stage in Level 4 has harder versions of some minibosses, and the fifth level in its entirety before the final boss is this for the previous 4 bosses. And getting every single medal makes Daroach give you a special "Survival Rush" mode and then leave forever.
* [[Butt Monkey]]: Beanbons are frequently the target of many hazard demonstrations.
* [[But Thou Must!]]: Daroach asks you if you'll collect the medals for him. If you say no, he simply comments on your sense of humor and reiterates his "request".
* [[The Cameo]]: In addition to the below mentioned Canon Immigrants, some characters not normally appearing in this game appear in sub-games, such as typical Kirby enemies, [[Early -Bird Cameo|HR-D3]] (which ended up as a proper Kirby platformer boss in ''[[KirbysKirby's Return to Dream Land]]''), Meta Knight, Nightmare, and none other than Dark Matter, in his first appearance outside his trilogy of games (i.e. ''Dream Land 2'', ''Dream Land 3'', and ''[[Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards]]'').
** Dynablade makes an appearance as a special move in Kirby Quest, as does a colored-in Kirby Tank from [[KirbysKirby's Epic Yarn]].
* [[Canon Immigrant]]: A few characters from the ''[[Kirby: ofRight theBack Starsat Ya!]]'' anime such as Escargo(o)n and Customer Service make cameos in the game.
* [[Chain -Reaction Destruction]]: Bosses, minibosses, larger enemies and some other objects are destroyed like so.
* [[Circling Birdies]]: This happens when Kirby is stunned.
* [[Clown Car Grave]]: As to be expected of some of the [[Big BoosBoo's Haunt]] levels.
* [[Continuity Porn]]: The mini-games feature a lot of returns for old Kirby enemies, as well as [[Canon Immigrant|canonizing a handful of anime-exclusive characters]].
* [[Corridor Cubbyhole Run]]: One of the desert levels has a very dense wind periodically occurring and cover must be taken from it.
Line 44 ⟶ 43:
* [[Determinator]]:
** After losing in a fight to the [[Big Bad]], Kirby ''still'' goes off to fight him once again.
** When a Kirby takes a hit, he turns blue. When he takes another hit, the Kirby dies and [[Ascend to Aa Higher Plane of Existence|floats up to heaven]]... At least, [[Normally I Would Be Dead Now|he would]], if it weren't for another alive Kirby being able to launch himself towards the dead Kirby's soul, drag him down, [[Back Fromfrom the Dead|and bring him back to life]].
* [[Divide and Conquer]]: Necrodeus utilizes a rather unique version of this in the intro: he splits up Kirby into ten clones, with each having only a small part of the complete Kirby's power. Without his special abilities, Kirby was helpless against Necrodeus, allowing the skull-faced fiend to destroy the Kirbys one by one. Necrodeus would have won then and there, if one Kirby hadn't escaped.
* [[The Dragon]]: Skullord, he's a greedy pig who Necrodeus granted some of his powers to. He rules over some of the Skullys.
* [[Duel Boss]]: One of the challenges requires to defeat Dedede with only one Kirby.
* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: The Kirbys encounter Big Birdee in the first stage, and then fight her in a later stage. {{spoiler|Then she becomes an ally to the Kirbys in an even later stage.}}
** Kirby Quest has one, too, but in regards to further in the series itself rather than further within the game. The final boss of chapter two is HR-D3, which appears as a typical Kirby boss in ''[[KirbysKirby's Return to Dream Land]]'''s Extra Mode (its hard mode, much like the extra modes of ''Kirby's Dream Land'' and ''Kirby's Adventure''). However, the insignia on its chest on ''Return to Dream Land'' is not King Dedede's sigil as in Kirby Quest, but a different symbol.
* [[Electric Jellyfish]]: Cube-shaped jellyfish produce electricity.
* [[Elite Mook]]: Skullions are this to Skullys.
* [[Expy]]:
** Necrodeus looks a ''lot'' like Nightmare from ''Kirby's Adventure''.
** World 2 has enemies which resemble Thwomps from the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series.
** Big Birdee is very similar to [[Kirby Super Star|Dyna Blade]]. {{spoiler|With babies that need to be helped and [[Heel Face Turn]] as well.}}
* [[Fat Bastard]]: King Dedede.
Line 64 ⟶ 63:
** Green Grounds: [[Green Hill Zone]]/[[Lost Woods]]
** Sandy Canyon: [[Shifting Sand Land]]/[[Temple of Doom]]
** Dedede Resort: [[Palmtree Panic]]/[[Minigame Zone]]/[[Under the Sea]]/[[Slippy -Slidey Ice World]]/[[Level Ate]]
** Volcano Valley: [[Lethal Lava Land]]/[[Big BoosBoo's Haunt]]/[[Blackout Basement]]/[[Space Zone]]
* [[Heel Face Turn]]:
** Daroach and the Squeak Squad are aiding Kirby. Not all that surprising, as they were remorseful at the end of ''Squeak Squad''. They're thieves, not villains, especially when compared to the [[Eviler Than Thou|Skull Gang]].
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* [[Leitmotif]]: Necrodeus has one.
* [[Limit Break]]: As shown in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cB0oEc6NK9g this video], if you get a perfect score on Stage 4 of the "Kirby Quest" subgame, {{spoiler|you get challenged by Galaxia instead of Meta Knight. If you beat it, you can use the sword to defeat Dark Matter in one hit.}}
* [[Man -Eating Plant]]: The fourth world has a few of these.
* [[Metal Slime]]: There are golden enemies that are quick to flee. Killing these will result in filling out part of the checklist.
** The Kirby Quest sub-game has more typical examples (being that its combat plays like a turn-based RPG), in that some enemies holding Maxim Tomatoes will give more experience than usual and the tomato will revive fallen allies for free. If an attack misses, however, they flee.
* [[Mission Control]]: Daroach acts as this, giving the Kirbys advice and updating them on the situation at hand.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]: Completing the game perfectly, especially considering one of the achievements involves beating every single boss and level ''without taking any damage''! Most levels aren't too tough in this regard, {{spoiler|but then you get to the [[Boss Rush|last level of the fourth world]] and then you see just how tough this game truly is.}}
* [[No Fair Cheating]]: Taking a goal shortcut will result in getting no star for the stage.
* [[Oxygenated Underwater Bubbles]]
Line 98 ⟶ 97:
* [[Sequential Boss]]: King Dedede and Necrodeus.
* [[Shifting Sand Land]]: The second world has a few levels taking place in the desert environment.
* [[Shout -Out]]: The sub-game Strato Patrol EOS plays a lot like a typical [[Cute 'Em Up]], mostly ''[[Twinbee (Video Game)|Twinbee]]''.
* [[Shows Damage]]: Some of the stronger enemies, bosses, and blocks show damage. Some show cracks, and some change color palette when damaged.
* [[Soundtrack Dissonance]]: Stage 10 of Sandy Canyon has the Kirbys having to pass through by removing the plug in the sand. For the rest of the level, they have to outrun the rising sand. The first room has typical desert music, but you'd think that the larger areas after it, since they require outrunning sand they could sink in to their death, you'd think it would have intense music, right? Nope -- the music for the rest of the level is "Night Desert," a calm and peaceful song that plays in calmer desert areas, except for this exception to the "calmer desert areas" rule.
Line 111 ⟶ 110:
* [[Unexpected Shmup Level]]: Other than the subgame, 4-10's second half, kind of.
* [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show]]: In ''Kirby'' tradition, Necrodeus fills this role.
* [[Weakened Byby the Light]]: One of the shadowy monsters turns into a scared skull when exposed to the light.
* [[Wingding Eyes]]: The boxart for the game shows Kirby with blue star-shaped highlights in his eyes.
* [[Yellow Lightning, Blue Lightning]]: Lightning and electricity in this game is yellow.
* [[Zerg Rush]]: Essentially, the entire game.
