The formerly defeated dragon Landia approaches Kirby and prompts him to ride on his back in pursuit of Magolor. With a forced evil laugh, he departs through a dimensional portal of his own making, leaving Kirby and his friends behind on Halcandra. With the power of the Master Crown - Magolor declares his intention to bend the universe to his will, and decides to start by subjugating Popstar. After donning it, Magolor transforms into a being of great power, revealing the crown to have been his ultimate goal the whole time.

In the middle of Kirby's victory, Magolor appears from out of nowhere and nabs the crown. After traveling to the volcano where Landia resides, they defeat him, causing the dragon's golden crown to fall from his head. Seeing this, Kirby agrees to defeat the foul-tempered beast. With this done, Magolor keeps his word and takes Kirby and his friends to Halcandra, but upon arrival, the Lor Starcutter is immediately shot down by a four-headed dragon named Landia. In return, he promises to take them on a cruise to his homeworld - a far-flung planet called Halcandra - once the ship is restored. The party agrees to help this stranger by tracking down the missing pieces. At this, he begins to sulk, prompting Kirby to approach and cheer him up. Once Magolor comes to, he immediately rushes to the ship's console to assess the damage, finding that five major pieces of the ship were lost, along with all 120 of its Energy Spheres. Once they catch up with the downed ship, they enter to find Magolor - an alien clad in a blue robe - unconscious on the floor. The ship crashes into the countryside, shedding parts as it goes, as Kirby and his companions give chase. All of this is interrupted when a hole appears in the sky above, out of which comes the Lor Starcutter. On an unassuming day on Planet Popstar, Kirby is running along the road in a grassy field with a slice of shortcake in hand, pursued by King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee, past Meta Knight who is quietly reading a book under a knoll. Kirby and friends discover sad Magolor shortly after Lor Starcutter's crash.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land also makes use of full 3-D graphics, though only for visual purposes, as the game proper is still played in two dimensions. Kirby's Return to Dream Land takes a lot of inspiration from Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, particularly when it comes to combat, though the level structure more closely resembles Kirby's Adventure. However, several new gameplay features have been added notably the addition of four-player co-operative play (allowing additional players to join in at any time using King Dedede, Meta Knight, or Bandana Waddle Dee), four all-new standard copy abilities, and a set of special Super Abilities which are powered-up versions of familiar ones, used at specific points in stages.

In 2015, Kirby's Return to Dream Land was released as a digital download for the Wii U.Īs the American title suggests, Kirby's Return to Dream Land returns the series to its traditional gameplay, and tasks Kirby to traverse several different levels, each with four or more stages, while obtaining and utilizing copy abilities and battling enemies, Mid-Bosses, and bosses. Much of this game is derived from the leftover work done on the canceled Kirby for Nintendo GameCube game.

It was the first main series title to be released on a home console since Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and would remain the latest title to have that distinction until the release of Kirby Star Allies in 2018. Kirby's Return to Dream Land (known as Kirby's Adventure Wii in British English, and originally known under its working title Kirby Wii) is a main series Kirby game released for the Wii in late 2011.
