Kirby and the Forgotten Land: How to play the Kirby games in order

Even though the Kirby series is charming and uncomplicated, there has always been a storyline to follow if you were interested. Because you have boss rush modes that were not supposed to add to the plot, but rather give you a new fight, there are debates about what parts of each game are genuinely canon or not. Because things can become a little complex, we've put together a guide to help you play the Kirby games in order.

If you're seeking a storey that's as clear as possible, go no further than the list below. Kirby lore is either contained within the games themselves or loosely connected between them, hence there is no fixed storey sequence. Aside from playing them in order of release, give this a shot.

• Kirby’s Dream Land
• Kirby’s Dream Land 2
• Kirby’s Dream Land 3
• Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
• Kirby’s Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
• Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra
• Kirby & the Amazing Mirror
• Kirby: Squeak Squad
• Kirby Mass Attack
• Kirby’s Return to Dream Land
• Kirby: Triple Deluxe
• Kirby: Planet Robobot
• Kirby Star Allies
• Kirby and the Forgotten Land

We recommend taking breaks in the sequence by attempting some of the spinoffs while going through the list above. Kirby's Dreamcourse, Kirby Air Ride, Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, and Kirby's Epic Yarn are some of our favourite spinoffs to check out.
