Kirby and the Forgotten Land is the newest Kirby adventure on the Nintendo Switch. Kirby gets sucked into a world very different from his, where he’s tasked with saving caged Waddle Dees and and figuring out what’s going. The game is a little bit different from past Kirby games, so we compiled aKirby and the Forgotten Land FAQ to help you navigate and answer any questions you have.
