Thanks to all the work HAL Laboratory has put into refreshing the franchise, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is already a star of the Switch in 2022. It's the first fully 3D Kirby game, but that's far from its only innovation. Kirby and the Forgotten Land includes difficulty options, and it enhances combat by giving Kirby's Copy Abilities evolutions that diversify combat throughout the game. It also introduces a mechanic called Mouthful Mode, where Kirby swallows a large object and gains special properties based on the object. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is littered with objects that Kirby can make use of to manipulate his environment.
