Story

An alien spaceship, the Lor Starcutter comes through a star-shaped portal in the sky on Pop Star, when it suddenly crashes there, and several of its parts (5 total) fall out of the ship. Upon entering the apparently intact hull of the ship, Kirby, Blue Bandanna Waddle Dee, King Dedede, and Meta Knight find the owner of the ship, an alien called Magolor. Magolor wishes the missing parts be retrieved. Kirby must retrieve the ship's parts to help the alien Magolor return to its home planet. Kirby eventually goes around Pop Star to retrieve the five missing components: the oars, right wing, the left wing, the banner, and the mast.

Once all the parts are found, the Lor Starcutter is able to fly back and return to Magolor's homeworld, Halcandra. ^{[citation needed]} Once the ship arrives there, it crashes after being shot down. Magolor tells Kirby, Bandanna Waddle Dee, King Dedede, and Meta Knight to destroy Landia, a group of small, red dragons with a crown. After the crew defeats Landia, Magolor reveals his real intention: to control the universe. He flys away into Another Dimension. Kirby and the others catch up to them, then fight a evil Lor Starcutter. Magolor eventually flies away to the final boss arena. Kirby get there and defeats the boss, killing Magolor. The Lor Starcutter and Landia help Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee escape the dissapating landscape. Kirby and the others find themselves on the ground in Dream Land. After recovering, they see Landia and Lor Starcutter wave good-bye and fly away into another dimension. Finally, they rejoice and go on with their regular lives.

Gameplay

Gameplay returns to that of classic Kirby adventures, in that it is a side-scrolling platform game, and that Kirby is once again able to copy from his opponents' abilities to be used. There are also new abilities like a Whip ability, which seems to be based off of Indiana Jones. The game also supports up to 4 players, playing as Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Blue Bandanna Waddle Dee,^[4] each with their own weapons and their own unique feel.^[6] It is also possible for each player to instead control a Kirby, however.
