There are several rooms in the [[Lor Starcutter]], some of them challenges, where Kirby must complete certain tasks with a certain ability or items, earning points for getting coins (100 for silver, 1000 for gold), and defeating enemies (50 each), and losing points for taking damage (-500 each hit). A certain amount of points gives Kirby a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal depending on the number of points received. Copy ability rooms are rooms with 5 standard Copy Essence Deluxes each, where Kirby can test out abilities on a bean bag. The mini-games include [[Ninja Dojo]] and [[Scope Shot]]. Ninja Dojo is a game where players must throw blades at targets with good timing, and Scope Shot is a game where {{realMe}} (along with other players if applicable) must shoot down a {{UserLang|us=mechanized|gb=mechanised}} enemy using a gun. | There are several rooms in the [[Lor Starcutter]], some of them challenges, where Kirby must complete certain tasks with a certain ability or items, earning points for getting coins (100 for silver, 1000 for gold), and defeating enemies (50 each), and losing points for taking damage (-500 each hit).

Kirby's Return to Dream Land,[1] known as Kirby's Adventure Wii in Europe and Australia[2][3] and originally known under its original working title Kirby Wii,[4] is a game for Wii.
It was released on October 24th 2011 in North America,[1] on October 27th 2011 in Japan[5] on November 25th 2011 in Europe,[2] and on December 1st 2011 in Austrailia.[3]
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. 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. Kirby can do all his standard moves, such as run, jump, puff up, inhale, and swim. By inhaling, Kirby is once again able to copy from his opponents' abilities to be used, losing an ability when requested by the unknown reader or when sufficient damage is received. Kirby may also obtain a Copy Ability by using Copy Essence Deluxes found in some parts of the stages, especially before certain boss battles. There are four new abilities added to Kirby's Return to Dream Land, along with several returning standard abilities. The health bar returns as usual, and food is used to replenish the health bar (the Maxim Tomato replenishing the entirety of it). There are also several items that need to be used in some stages, such as a cannon, a protective umbrella, or a boot. Keys are sometimes put in the stage (sometimes on a shining Waddle Dee called a Carry Dee) to unlock doors to certain areas, especially areas with Energy Spheres. Typical features, such as Bomb Blocks are also included. Some blocks can be bypassed only with Kirby's Super Inhale ability, which allows him to swallow a large amount of blocks and enemies (including other players) and spit out a large star. Other parts require Kirby to have a certain ability, notably parts where Kirby must cut a rope holding a platform with a sword/cutter/spear/ninja blade, fuses that must be lit by Fire, or stumps/blocks that can only be broken by a rock or a hammer. Some areas must be opened up with the use of buttons, like in previous Kirby games. There are also now little switches on the ceiling that Kirby must stick to in order to open up certain areas, or activate certain block patterns. If Kirby dies with life left, Kirby returns to the output of the most recent door entered. If Kirby runs out of lives, he must start the stage over again (except for final boss battles). Kirby can also obtain stars that if 100 stars are obtained, a life is given to Kirby. Yellow Stars are worth one star, Red stars are worth five, and Blue stars are worth ten. At the end of each stage, Kirby falls on a slingshot, which will fire him up to 7 levels, depending on the unknown reader's timing.
In addition to the standard abilities, a new type of ability, the Super Ability has been introduced on some stages. Super Abilities are greatly enhanced versions of a standard copy ability, and is required to break objects that are too formidable to be broken by a normal ability. Super Abilities also have a time limit attached to them, and if Kirby manages to break a final obstacle within the allotted time constraint, Kirby will be able to enter a rift into another dimension, where he must complete a moving stage, then defeat a Sphere Doomer to obtain two additional Energy Spheres.
The game is played on seven main levels, five on Pop Star and two on Halcandra. Within these levels are a number of stage that the unknown reader must complete, including the boss level at the end. Each stage contains several doors to help traverse through the level, as well as a few side doors (marked by a orange star on top of the door) which may lead to a bonus such as a 1UP or an Energy Sphere. Each non-boss level contains three to five Energy Spheres, usually well hidden, requiring some unique action/ability, or obtained by Sphere Doomers, that can be used to unlock challenges, games, and copy ability rooms in the Lor Starcutter. Each boss battle at the end of a level leads unlocks the next level, and for the levels in Pop Star, gets a spaceship part for the Lor Starcutter.
The final three boss battles occur in Another Dimension, and are immediately subsequent to each other. Should Kirby die on one of those battles, he only has to re-complete the battle that he just died in, even after game over.
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] Meta Knight has controls nearly identical to sword Kirby an flies in a fashion similar to Wing Kirby. King Dedede has controls nearly identical to Hammer Kirby. Blue Bandanna Waddle Dee has controls nearly identical to Spear Kirby. Non-Kirby players may not inhale or switch abilities. It is also possible for each player to instead control a Kirby of a different Template:Colour (yellow for player 2, green for 3, blue for 4), however. Each additional Kirby may inhale, copy, and receive controls identical to the primary pink Kirby. Each entry of another player consumes one life. An extra player may exit at any time, however, a life will only be restored if that player still has full health. If an extra player dies, the game continues as usual, however, if the primary Kirby dies, the game must be restarted at the nearest output door. Extra characters will automatically warp to Kirby should the extra character's position deviate a great distance from the primary Kirby, or the Primary Kirby enters a cannon. Either character may enter doors.
There are several rooms in the Lor Starcutter, some of them challenges, where Kirby must complete certain tasks with a certain ability or items, earning points for getting coins (100 for silver, 1000 for gold), and defeating enemies (50 each), and losing points for taking damage (-500 each hit). A certain amount of points gives Kirby a Bronze, Silver, or Gold medal depending on the number of points received. Copy ability rooms are rooms with 5 standard Copy Essence Deluxes each, where Kirby can test out abilities on a bean bag. The mini-games include Ninja Dojo and Scope Shot. Ninja Dojo is a game where players must throw blades at targets with good timing, and Scope Shot is a game where the unknown reader (along with other players if applicable) must shoot down a mechanized enemy using a gun.
After Kirby has completed the Final boss battle (Magolor Soul), an extra mode is unlocked, where Kirby is smaller, has less health, and the boss battles are more difficult and all boss names are marked with (EX). In addition all stars become hollowed out, and 1ups have a crown on them. In addition an Arena similar to the one in Kirby Super Star is unlocked where Kirby must complete all boss battles with one life, with limited numbers of Maxim Tomatoes and Food, as well as a limited choice of Copy Abilities after the first battle. A True Arena is unlocked after Extra mode is completed. An arena can be played with any character if the unknown reader has completed the arena once through.
