the original title means too much to me to be objective about its remake : what can I say ecept that this is one of my favourite games of all-time ?? I already love the original so much, this version just makes everything perfect :
- superb new artstyle and updated models
- great untouched level design and main campaign with a juicy amount of new content (the Magolor side-story is AWESOME)
- BANGIN' SOUNDTRACK
- loads of new minigames to enjoy, that are made even more easily accessible, it's like having a small party game inside your cool 2D platformer

(if we ever get the same treatment for the 3DS titles i can die in peace)

pretty awesome remaster of a game that came out at least a decade ago now; if you've never played a kirby game, and want to play one, i'd recommend this one or super star ultra
man i love kirby. after over 10 years i forgive magolor
Kirby'nin yetenek sayisi o kadar fazla ki durmadan yeni bir yetenek gormek beni cok mutlu etti. Oyunu cok begendim fakat bosslari zayif. Yeteneklerdeki yaraticiligi bosslarda da gormek isterdim.
my childhood game on the switch with an amazing new mode on the side. I would LOVE a full game in the style of the magalor mode it was so much fun
This game sucks
Kirby remains the master of sucking and blowing while remaining wholesome.
Como alguien que no jugó el original, fue un buen juego, que sí me gustó mucho el agregado, pero si ya lo has jugado... posiblemente no valga la pena a menos que sí seas fan.
If I ever have time to write a longer review…it was ok. I had my issues with it, but it was fun. Did everything but the boss rush mode.
The ultimate co-op Kirby experience, which at this point was basically co-op Smash Bros. The whole "you need to use that power on this obstacle" thing doesn't work with a four-player run, but it's good fun at least 90% of the time.
The game was originally fun, and the remake only improves it by adding great stuff, what more can I say? It might as well be the best Kirby experience on home consoles ever
This is the only Kirby game in this entire Kirbython that I went into completely blind, and I'm ecstatic to say that not only is this a really good remake, but it completely outclasses the original and is the definitive way to play Kirby's Return To Dream Land. Unfortunately, they didn't correct my biggest issue with the original (that being the fact that you essentially have to beat the game TWICE in order to unlock everything and get 100%) but all of the new stuff this Deluxe package adds are so goddamn fun and worth it that I just don't even care. Let's rapid-fire all of the new things shall we?: The game looks absolutely GORGEOUS now, they added 2 extremely badass new copy abilities as well as corresponding copy ability challenge rooms, an entirely new story where Magolor is the main character, ANOTHER new mode dedicated to returning mini games from previous Kirby games, a STUPID amount of new cosmetic options, The True Arena was completely reworked to include the bosses from the Magolor Epilogue mode as well as a new secret final boss, and ofc all of this means an entire army of new bangers in the soundtrack.
Yeah this is the definitive version of this game, no questions asked

Played it with a friend it it was fun and all, but I'm still not sure why this game got a deluxe version
Kirby games never fail to make me happy. Great soundtrack too. And the gimmick of this game, the Super abilities, are flashy and fun to use.
The levels are very easy as is par for the course with Kirby games. Because of that I thought world 1-4 were a bit too easy but I enjoyed them nonetheless. World 5, 6 and 7 weren't much harder but I loved playing through them. And the final fights with Landia and Magolor fights were awesome. Actually most of the bosses in this game are well-designed and fun to fight with the different powers.
The Doomer sections are nice little speedrun sections. The Doomer boss isn't too bad either since you get variations of the boss depending on what world you're in and you probably have a different power everytime you fight him anyway so that keeps things fresh. But after playing through all these sections on both normal and extra modes they started to get a bit samey.
On the topic of Extra mode, I thought it wasn't different enough. It’s Basically just a hard mode with very few changes and it’s still very easy. Just like in the normal mode I ended up with 99 lives at the end of Extra mode.
I love the powers in this game. There’s a lot of them and all of them have their own unique movesets with lots of different attacks.
And you get to use these different movesets in the challenges. I thought they were fun and getting the platinum medals added some much needed difficulty.
Now for the Deluxe-exclusive content we have the Magolor Epilogue and Merry Magoland.
Magolor Epilogue was pretty fun. He has a nice moveset and the fully upgraded dash is crazy good. I thought the beginning was a bit rough though when he is very limited in his moves. And all the levels do look samey. I would have liked some more variety in that department.
Secondly, there is Merry Magoland. It’s okay but I’m just not that into minigames. Most of the missions were pretty easy though and I didn’t mind doing them.
Except for that one Samurai Kirby mission. Fuck that shit. Getting 2x5 in a row was some bullshit.

what a fucking triumph is that
A beautifully well-crafted platformer that never-the-less has never really given me the "itch", so to speak. I tend to bounce off it. This remake is really impressive though, they stuffed this thing with new content.
Best Kirby game I played, very biased.
P.S. Magolor is the best.

solid kirby game, but nothing super special to me.
Level design is baby-simple at times. Puzzles are hardly puzzles at all. Multiplayer is poorly designed and hard to follow sometimes.
I played it on Wii when I was young, but this is game is always a masterpiece. The Magolor Epilogue is truly remarkable, and I sincerely hope that HAL Laboratory will reserve some unexpected surprises regarding antagonists in future games.
A solid 2D Kirby game.
A great remake of one of Kirby's critically acclaimed games.
The new abilities are fun to use and the Ultra Abilities are also fun to use.
The artstyle is pretty good going for a more comic book aesthetic.
Like other Kirby games, the game is generally easy but does have harder content available.

Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe is exactly what I want from a 2D Kirby game.
+ The gameplay is amazing and not too repetitive because Kirby has 25 different power ups, which is way more than Mario ever had. The Levels are different enough from each other to not feel redundant but the level design could have been better.
+ On top of the Main Campaign you have a tone of fun side content like, challenge levels, mini-games and a whole epilogue where you play as another character.
+ The Bosses are awesome. Most games nowadays have boring bosses that don't utilize the full extent of the gameplay. But not Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe. In this game, the bosses were the best moments I've had.

IT WAS ALRIGHT. I heavily prefer the original, but I'm GLAD they're giving one of my favourite Kirby antagonists some thought.
No começo eu não estava achando o jogo tão bom por já ter jogado a duologia 3DS, mas a partir do quinto mundo, ele não fica só muito bom, mas também surpreendentemente dificil para um jogo do Kirby. muito bom
Kirby games usually bore me so I waited on this one, but for some reason on New Year’s Eve I decided to spend all night with it.
Solid Kirby game, I’ve never played Planet Robobot but I did play Triple Deluxe and Star Allies, and I think I liked this the most.

The level design of the original game is definitely very dated, the new content added like the Magalor Epilogue is leagues better in terms of level design and has greater original bosses which I won’t spoil. this game showcases HAL laboratory’s improvement in the past 12 years. I completed the game 100% and got around 27 hours worth of gameplay from it. A pretty good purchase of a remake of one of my childhood games. Unfortunately though I can definitely see a lot of the flaws of the original game shining through on this one.

Pop-Up Kirby is officially...found media! I enjoy Return to Dream Land back on the Wii, even finished it when I rented it from Blockbuster with my brother. Those were fun days as a kid... This truly was Kirby's return after a decade of Super Star's style left to sit there other than the DS remake. I plan to try the epilogue mode soon, but the minigame mode is a real treat of fanservice!
It's fascinating just how far the Kirby GCN iceberg goes. Once a late GameCube title canned and moved onto the Wii for a 3D action game. Then restarted development and shifted to a 2D pop-up book style game, which eventually became the game we know today. Assets reused for Smash Bros Brawl, Subspace possibly being inspired by Kirby GCN, and beta songs from all 3 iterations of Return to Dream Land. You can hear a specific motif that was truly made for Pop-Up Kirby and GCN, like yeah this totally would fit a storybook Kirby game. All of those assets were in the Wii game and still in this Switch remake, it's kinda crazy! This is just my space to ramble about Kirby GCN cuz it looked so damn cool...
(Edit: 2/13/24) Magalor Epilogue is a fun mode that adds some extra challenge to the mix. I like the moveset, upgrades and action focused level design a lot. I wish I could have tried it in co-op, but it’s a good, short experience in single player.

I can usually play games targeted towards all ages, but it just wasn't possible for me to shake the fact that this one is really just designed for small children.
um clássico Kirby delicinha, q não inova muito (mas tudo certo, é um jogo de Wii), é ótimo de jogar e tem visuais remasterizados belíssimos. o parque com os minigames é super divertido, porém logo passa o furor. o epílogo extra com o Magolor é BEM legal e oferece dificuldade e jogabilidade diferentes.
