Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe comes out on February 24 for Nintendo Switch. This is an enhanced port of a Wii title that adds a few new features, modes and tweaks. Perhaps none are more substantial than the new epilogue campaign.
The Magolor Epilogue has players controlling the titular character in events taking place after the main game (which, by the way, you’ll have to beat first before you can unlock this mode). Just like with the base game, the Magolor Epilogue supports four player co-op. Here, player one is Magolor while others control his clones.
While this mode looks similar to traditional 2D Kirby experiences, Magolor has his own set of abilities. Unlike Kirby, he can not suck up enemies, absorb abilities or fly. He can, however, shoot magic spheres as short-range projectiles. You also unlock other abilities as you play, like a magic bomb that you can drop below you.
During the campaign, you’ll collect orbs throughout levels that you can use to unlock enhancements for your abilities. For example, you can increase the rate at which you fire your magic spheres.
