Kirby's Return to Dream Land,^[1] known as Kirby's Adventure Wii in Europe^[2] and originally known under its original working title Kirby Wii,^[3] is a game in-development for Wii. Due to this, not much is known or confirmed at this point. What is known:

It is a sidescroller, similar to more traditional Kirby games, like Kirby's Adventure.^[4]
Kirby's ability to copy his opponents moves will return.^[4]
It bears a striking resemblance to the unreleased GameCube game.^[5]
New to the game are "Super Abilities" which seem to employ one attack affecting most of the visible screen. This includes Ultra Sword, Flare Beam, Monster Flame, Grand Hammer, and Snow Bowl.

It will be released on October 24th 2011 in North America,^[1] on October 27th 2011 in Japan^[6] and in December 2011 in Europe.^[2]

Gameplay

Gameplay will return to that of classic Kirby adventures, in that it will be a side-scrolling platform game, and that Kirby will once again be able to copy from his opponent abilities to be used. There are also new abilities like a Whip ability, which seems to be based off of Indiana Jones. It will also be able to have up to 4 players, playing as Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee,^[3] each with their own will have their own weapons and their own unique feel.^[7] Also, you can choose 3 other Kirby's if you want to be a Kirby.

Enemies

In the video below, recurring enemies such as Waddle Dees, Cappies, Mumbies, Bronto Burts, and a Blade Knight are seen. A new enemy, what appears to be many Dees in a plastic shell that looks like a Waddle Dee. The Pacto and Como enemies from Kirby's Dream Land 3 also appear.

Story

When an alien spaceship, the Lor Starcutter, crashes on Pop Star, Kirby must retrieve the ship's parts to help the alien Magolor return to its home planet. ^{[citation needed]}
