Kirby eats a diverse selection of objects during the new trailer, beyond just the vehicle. He eats a vending machine, which allows him to spit cans of juice out of his mouth at enemies, a traffic cone, which Kirby uses to break a hole in a leaky pipe, a scissor-lift, that allows Kirby to reach elevated locations, and more. Rings, lightbulbs, flying archs, and other objects will be found spread throughout the world of the Forgotten Land for Kirby to add to his arsenal.

Mario Sunshine fans will then appreciate what Kirby can do, as he uses the water in his belly to spray down gunk that may get in his way. It shows that Nintendo is
