'''''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''''' (''Kirby's Adventure Wii'' in Europe) is a game in the ''[[Kirby]]'' series for [[Nintendo]]'s [[Wii]] system, developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. While initially believed to be the cancelled [[Game CubeGameCube]] title, ''Return to Dream Land'', is, in fact, [http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/kirby-dream-land/0/0 HAL Laboratory's fourth attempt at making a home console game for Kirby] since ''Kirby's Air Ride''.
 
A trailer for the game was released on January 28, 2011, revealing new abilities, including enhanced versions of Sword Kirby (officially known as [[BFS|Ultra Sword Kirby]]) and Fire Kirby (officially known as Monster Flame Kirby) that can each use a [[Super Smash Bros.|Final Smash-like]] [[Limit Break|attack]]. See the first trailer [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDOZzcobfrU here].
Line 22:
* [[Batman Gambit]]: {{spoiler|Magolor gets Kirby, Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee and Meta Knight to defeat the dragon Landia and take the Master Crown that it guards so he can rule the universe}}.
* [[Beat Them At Their Own Game]]: {{spoiler|Magolor's second form imitates the [[Limit Break|Super Abilities]] in the fight against him}}.
* [[Blade of Fearsome Size]]:
** The Ultra Sword ability, as seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YXN_0R_8WY this E3 2011 trailer].
** And it gets [[Up to Eleven|even bigger]] when {{spoiler|Kirby delivers the final blow to Magolor's first form}}.
* [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti]]: Goriath appears to be a Yeti.
* [[Blackout Basement]]: Several areas have you traverse through a dark room, with lit candles to help you out ([[Improbable Weapon|not only as a light source]]).
* [[Blade Lock]]: {{spoiler|Kirby delivers the final blow with his Ultra Sword to Magolor's first [[One-Winged Angel]] after the two do this}}.
* [[Blade of Fearsome Size]]:
** The Ultra Sword ability, as seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YXN_0R_8WY this E3 2011 trailer].
** And it gets [[Up to Eleven|even bigger]] when {{spoiler|Kirby delivers the final blow to Magolor's first form}}.
* [[Blade on a Stick]]: Bandana Dee wields one to attack with.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: {{spoiler|Galacta Knight makes a reappearance in the True Arena. To a lesser extent, HR-D3 can only be fought in Extra Mode and the True Arena, not in the normal story mode or the Arena}}.
Line 81:
** ...after all the Energy Spheres are collected, he reveals to you that he acquired the Lor Starcutter by excavating it from the volcano where Landia lives, and that the ship is said to have a mind of its own, making it on par with legendary weapons like Kirby's Star Rod and Meta Knight's sword Galaxia. He also reveals that he was told everything he knew about Kirby by a friend, long before they even met. Some fans have theorized that said friend is Marx, Ribbon, or someone else entirely. {{spoiler|Maybe even Galacta Knight}}.
** ...{{spoiler|in Extra Mode, he outright [[Most Definitely Not a Villain|tells you that Landia guards a crown that allows the wearer]] to [[Obviously Evil|rule the universe]], and that Landia will not part with it easily, and that therefore you should defeat Landia post-haste, with a cheerful expression that could not possibly be sinister in any way. Of course, this is after you already beat Main Mode, so nothing is truly spoilt}}.
** Furthermore, if you have all the Energy Spheres in EX mode, Magolor gives more information. He adds that the Lor Starcutter was made by the same people who built the clockwork suns (most likely a reference to NOVA from Milky Way Wishes). He also mentions that some enemies Kirby fought before came from world where he comes from. And on top of that, Magolor states that the Lor Starcutter, 'the clockwork suns' and the {{spoiler|Master Crown}} were created by use of an incredible power.
* [[Hub Level]]: Returning from ''Kirby's Adventure'', though this time they're accessed through a [[World Map]]. The ''Lor Starcutter'' is designed similarly, though it's more of a sandbox in that you can check in on Magolor and use the Energy Spheres you've collected throughout the game to get abilities for convenience, enter challenge rooms, or play [[Mini Game]]s.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]:
** {{spoiler|When Comparedcompared to Kirby, HR-D3, who is only fought on the Extra mode as phasephases 2/ and 3 of theMetal Egg Engine BossGeneral.}}.
** Your objective is to shoot these down in the Scope Shot [[Mini Game]].
* [[Infinity-1 Sword]]: The [[Game Breaker]] Copy Abilities, such as [[Blow You Away|Tornado]].
Line 101:
* [[Medley]]: The first miniboss theme (this one is used for miniboss battles {{spoiler|on Pop Star}}) is a medley of the Egg Catcher/Arena and Boss themes from ''Kirby's Adventure''. The second one (this one is used for miniboss battles {{spoiler|on Planet Halcandra}}) is based on the miniboss theme from ''Kirby 64'', which was also previously used for battles with Meta Knight's troops in ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', as well as ''Kirby 64'''s boss theme.
** The music used for {{spoiler|the Item Challenge and secret HAL rooms}} is a medley of various versions of Green Greens.
* [[Power Copying]]: [[Captain Obvious|Of course]], after the noticeable lack of the move in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]''. Returning abilities include:
** [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]/[[Battle Boomerang]]: Cutter Kirby.
** [[An Ice Person]]: Ice Kirby.
Line 136:
* {{spoiler|[[Mordor]]: Apparently, Planet Halcandra is this}}.
* [[New Game+]]: Beating the game once unlocks Extra Mode (a throwback to the original ''[[Kirby|Kirby's Dream Land]]''), where your [[Life Meter]] is reduced by about half, the enemies now come in various sizes, [[Super Mario Bros. 2|Phanto-]]esque foes are now added to ''every'' area with a key, and the bosses are harder. {{spoiler|Also, Magolor's [[One-Winged Angel]] form is now more powerful than ever, especially when you finally encounter Magolor Soul}}.
* [[Nice Hat]]: A staple in the ''Kirby'' series. It should be noted that theThe Bomb, Stone and Ninja abilities have brand new hats, the Fighter, Ice and Mike abilities have extra features added to their hats, and the Crash ability has now gained a hat.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]:
** [http://www.kirbysrainbowresort.net/multimedia/pictures/returntodreamland/npower6.jpg The Copy Ability Challenge Rooms] are as well if you want to get the best score (though just beating them for the sake of getting the file selection screen to display 100% after the game is completed isn't nearly as hard). They can take a decent amount of tries to get a gold medal. Then you learn [[Rank Inflation|there's a medal better than gold...]]
*** Let's not even get started on the [[Harder Than Hard|Item Challenge]].
** There are also hidden rooms in some levels that qualify, which have an [[Advancing Wall of Doom]], and the farther you get in the game the more additional obstacles you have to avoid and the faster the wall advances.
** In fact, theThe entire Extra mode is [[Nintendo Hard]]. At leastEspecially the boss fights are. The constant Sphere Doomer battles that you need to do [[One Hundred Percent Completion|to get all the Energy Spheres]] might get on your nerves when they're all the EX version. And there's also Metal General, who literally [[Turns Red]], {{spoiler|and then does it again figuratively, ''[[Determinator|TWICEtwice]]''. Metal General EX would probably be too difficult for most people if you had to fight him ''and'' his other two forms without dying}}.
* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: The [[Eternal Engine]] levels of Egg Engines are dangerous enough to give the factory level of ''[[Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards]]'' a run for its money.
* [[Notice This]]: Objects that can be destroyed with a Super Ability are marked with glowing stars. The enemies that give the abilities themselves glow brightly and the first time per level they spawn, the camera zooms in on them.
Line 151:
* [[Plot Coupons]]: The five parts of the Lor Starcutter, obtained after defeating each level's boss, and the Energy Spheres, many missing in each level. There are 120 in all.
* [[Pocket Dimension]]: There appears to be many of them throughout the game, where a good portion of the [[Plot Coupon|gears]] can be found. {{spoiler|The final battle against Magolor also takes place here}}.
* [[Powerup Mount]]: In Co-op, anyone can be this to each othereachother. You can even stack up all four characters to create a giant totem pole.
* [[Recurring Riff]]: Several, including the file select/Lor Starcutter theme, the music from the GCN ''Kirby'' trailer, the Recurring Riff from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', and the menu music.
* [[Retraux]]:
Line 201:
** In Extra Mode, Mr. Dooter and Fatty Puffer are all mainly recolored red (from light blue and purple, respectively).
** Also, the last series of bosses from Landia EX onwards (including {{spoiler|Galacta Knight}}) turn red when their health hits about 60%.
* [[Unexpected Shmup Level]]: [[Recurring Element|In Kirby tradition]]. {{spoiler|After Magolor goes [[One-Winged Angel]], Kirby and the gang each ride on a part of Landia into another dimension where this trope takes place}}. The tradition is played with a bit though. {{spoiler|Most Kirby games take the mystical item that Kirby was assembling over the course of the game, and use it against the final boss, who's usually a [[One-Winged Angel]] version of the penultimate boss. This time, you ride the penultimate boss, who's revealed to have been heroic the entire time, and the item you've been assembling the whole game ends up being turned against you as the Shmup stage boss battle}}.
