The second [[Kirby (series)|]] game released for the Nintendo [[Wii]] after [[Kirby's Epic Yarn]].

This game returns to the traditional game mechanics the franchise is known for (hence the American name). The main attraction here is the ability for three additional players to jump in at any time to make the game a co-op quest. It would later be remade for the Nintendo Switch, with visual upgrades and new features.

It also has a remake on the [[Nintendo Switch]], titled [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]].
