Kirby’s Dream Buffet: Gameplay
Kirby’s Dream Buffet pits four Kirbys against one another in a Gourmet Grand Prix. The Gourmet Grand Prix occurs across four events: a Race, a Minigame, another Race, and a Battle Royale. Here’s a breakdown of the game types:
Race
As the name implies, a Race is a simple contest in which players must roll down tasty tracks in an effort to finish first and claim the most substantial cake at the end. Kirby has an insatiable appetite for strawberries, so along the way, players will want to gobble up these sweet fruits to gain speed and size.
Minigame
In Minigame, strawberries fall from the sky, hide in boxes, and even spin atop the heads of Kabus. Wherever they appear, the ultimate goal of Minigame is to collect as many strawberries as possible before time expires.
Battle Royale
Battle Royales are all the rage nowadays, so it’s only fitting that Kirby’s Dream Buffet features its own twist on this trendy game mode. In Battle Royale, Kirbys duke it out and try to hit one another off the stage. If you secure a knockout, you’ll steal all of that Kirby’s strawberries!
In the end, the Kirby that devours the most strawberries wins the Gourmet Grand Prix.
