In addition to the initial adventure area grassland buildings, there are also a variety of worlds such as coasts and wildernesses in the new world. In this new world of 3D, players can use Kirby's familiar ability to inhale, spit, and copy in any direction at any time in 360 degrees.

Next, let's take a look at the adventures of the new world with the author, this article will not involve spoilers, please feel free to read.
The latest work of "Kirby" with both action and graphics upgraded
Before entering junior high school, I was forbidden to play games at home, so I liked to go to a friend's house to play games. Play "Mario Kart" at M's house today, play "Super Mario World" at S's house tomorrow, and finally I am fascinated by "Kirby Super Star" at W's house.
After each 100% clearance, the author resets the data and starts from scratch... Although I can't remember how many times I've played it, the Kirby series that I've played the most in my life is definitely Kirby SuperStar.
Now, more than 20 years later, when I play the latest work of Kirby, I can't help but think of the emotion and excitement I experienced in elementary school. The first thing that surprised me was the delicate and beautiful 3D levels. The New World is a mysterious place, where deserted cities merge with nature, and unprecedented levels emerge one after another, stirring up the author's sense of adventure.
▲As the adventure progresses, you can venture to a variety of locations such as the sea and amusement parks
In addition, the levels are full of challenging elements, and players need to unlock various traps to complete the tasks set by each level. Breaking through these levels requires Kirby's copying ability and the new "Stuffed Mouth" action, so it's fun to try to use the abilities in each level to move forward, and the moment you unlock the trap after repeated trial and error, you can also get an unparalleled sense of accomplishment.

Kirby's new copying abilities and evolved appearance are exciting!
The ability to copy kirby is a special ability that activates when swallowing a specific enemy. In the new world, you can use the classic copying abilities of the series of swords, machetes, bombs, fire and ice, as well as the newly launched quest and drilling abilities.
Among the many reproduction capabilities, the author likes the hammer with the most refreshing movement. In this series, the author was the first to replicate the power of a hammer. Although the drilling attack of digging underground makes people feel like a hammer, after actually playing, I was fascinated by the ability of the exploration team, because as long as you press the button, you can fire powerful bullets and aim at enemies, so it is easy to defeat enemies in the distance.
▲ The search team can fire both powerful bullets and rapid continuous bursts
▲ Drill strike is good at raids
Speaking of reproduction capabilities, I was also shocked by the evolution of its graphics and movements. As the adventure progresses, the ability to copy evolves, and the special effects and action are further enhanced. The author tried to use a volcanic fire, the lava bullet is amazingly powerful, very refreshing, easier than ordinary fire to defeat the enemy, let people experience the power of evolution.
▲ Volcanic Fire is an evolved version of Agni, and the flames that come out of the mouth enhance the power of lava bullets
In addition, like Agni, there are many abilities that have multiple evolved versions. Agni can also evolve into the Dragon's Flaming Ability, revealing flaming wings when burning attacks, and the distance it travels varies with the length of the press button. Switching the evolved replication ability according to the level of the adventure allows for a smoother progression of the raiders.
▲ Another form after the evolution of Agni, after turning into the Dragon Flame, it can fly
After the release of this game, I am very much looking forward to evolving my favorite hammer. By the way, the hammer can evolve into a beep hammer and a savage hammer, the former evolved not only to enhance performance, improve the combos speed, even the performance has become much more gorgeous, and the attack will also make a beeping sound, which is a perfect match for the cute Kirby.
▲ After evolving into a beep hammer, the power of the continuous punch is upgraded
The latter, on the other hand, while capable of striking a powerful blow, needs to increase its strength at the expense of speed. As the name suggests, it looks very savage, and I want to fully enjoy Kirby's new charm through the evolution of reproduction ability.

Developing Kirby's Unlimited Potential "Stuffed Mouth Deformation"
The evolution of the ability to replicate isn't the only new ability Kirby has awakened in a new world. By devouring items scattered around the New World, Kirby can transform into various shapes such as cars, vending machines, and triangle cones. Depending on the devouring item, players can take advantage of new actions with their own characteristics.
▲ Transform into a vending machine, you can fire a can of juice with force to attack
I know Kirby is a glutton, but I can't believe it swallows up cars and vending machines! Although I was surprised when I first saw the stuffed mouth deformation, what was even more surprising was that when I actually played it, I found that it did not have a sense of violation in the game.
Since Kirby can use the ability to copy by inhaling various enemies, it is not surprising that he can transform into items in a new world. Just like using different copying abilities according to different enemies, once I mastered the trick of filling my mouth with deformation, I was immediately fascinated by this action that greatly expanded the attack method.
▲ After inhaling the triangle cone, it can become a triangle cone to fill the mouth, and you can find new paths by attacking the cracks in the ground or pipes
My three favorite mouth-filled deformations are "cars stuffing mouths", "triangle cones filling mouths", and "vending machines filling mouths". "Cars stuffed in the mouth" are more flexible than they look, and you can experience the excitement of racing games. In addition, the remaining two have unique attack methods, such as attacking with a pointed tip or firing a can of juice violently. Amazingly, even after the transformation, the player can still appreciate Kirby's cuteness.
▲ Depending on the ability to copy, there are subtle differences in the appearance of the mouth after the mouth is deformed, and the attention of the developers is impressive. I want to try various combinations
By creating 3D levels, the action and visual effects of this game have been greatly improved. Players can enjoy not only fun moves that take full advantage of the ability to copy, evolve, and fill your mouth with a full-throated transformation, but also enjoy Kirby's new look and charm.
In addition, in addition to attacking the levels in this colorful world, the game also has plenty of collection elements, such as the treasure road that uses specific copying ability and stuffed mouth deformation to clear the level, and after rescuing Wadou Rudi, you can increase the facilities to develop Wazurudi Town. When the game is officially released, I can't wait to start the adventure with my favorite Kirby's son, who is 100% clearer.
▲ Pass the Treasure Road to get the rare gems needed to evolve the ability to copy
▲ Some facilities in the town to play mini-games. As with the previous works, it feels like everyone will be addicted to it!
