What is Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World?

As highlighted in our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, "The game masterfully transitions the series' blend of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a three-dimensional world. While the post-apocalyptic setting may differ from Planet Popstar's charm, it remains vibrant and engaging, with levels cleverly designed to enhance Kirby's abilities. This new perspective retains the essence of classic Kirby games, and if this signals more 3D adventures for our pink hero, count me in."

The Nintendo Switch 2 version not only includes the full original game with improved visuals but also introduces the Star-Crossed World expansion. In this new adventure, Kirby navigates through uncharted territory following a meteor strike, utilizing his incredible abilities, including novel Mouthful Modes, to clear his path.
