Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe is an upcoming remake of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, releasing for the Nintendo Switch on February 24th 2023. It features the same story and gameplay as the original, but with new additions such as new Copy Abilities (namely the brand new Mecha and Sand abilities and the returning Festival ability from Kirby Star Allies); a revamped collection of Sub-Games housed in the new location Merry Magoland, an amusement park that features a castle that resembles Magolor and acts as a separate mode in the game; and a new Extra Mode that features Magolor as the main character called Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler, in which Magolor must recover his lost powers.
While the game features the same side-scrolling 2.5-D gameplay as the original, the graphics have been given an overhaul, giving all the characters strong outlines and increasing the detail and contrast. In addition, the characters (most notably King Dedede) have been updated to their modern looks. Super Abilities have also been refined with faster gameplay and more visual flair. On top of this, several gameplay and control style tweaks, sound changes, and other small additions overall transform the experience when compared to the original game.
