Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Artwork from Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
Fighter reappears as a rather common ability in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, obtained by swallowing enemies such as Knuckle Joe or touching Copy Pedestals. Fighter's moveset generally emulate the moveset of the Fighter ability in earlier games. Aestheticly, Kirby gains the signature red head band like in Kirby Super Star, but shorter and with a star in the front of the headband.
