Topic: Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Are the abilities available in the arena randomized? The only things I've been unable to beat are Ultimate Cup Z, hard mode of the tilt minigames and the hardest difficulty of the fast food minigame. Ultimate Cup Z I feel I could do but only if the fire ability appeared after Meta Knight as that fight forces you to pick up the sword.

But for now I'm pretty much considering the game completed.

@Grumblevolcano I am missing the same! But just unlocked the ultimato cup z and will give a try tomorrow. Those two minigames are crazy hard though...

For Meta Knight, you can attack the sword to get rid of it.

I did the hardest cafe minigame, but not tilt. I also did Ultimate Cup Z, no idea if doing it on hard mode counts towards 100% or not, even though I feel like I can beat the final battle without TOO much trouble. lol

But yeah, I used the final sword upgrade to beat it, man that final battle was intense, was about to die at the very end, too.

@Joeynator3000 wait what... You can attack the sword!?! That is really good to hear:D

...I did it by accident. xD

Ring Mouth Kirby in a boat is literally the worst mechanic in the series, it’s so bad you could make a short rage game about it

…Otherwise the game was basically perfect.

@Bolt_Strike

Yeah, you are right: Its Squeak squad. And yeah, its a different enemy (though they look a bit similar). I was wrong.

@Screen really? They are one of my favourite mechanic in the game. I had issues with the car sections though

Had a try at ultimate cup Z and was surprised by a final final boss that you are unable to battle and understand its movements prior to. For now i am happy with the game and moved to guardians of the Galaxy on GP but maybe at a later date I will try again.

all though I haven't played all that much of it yet. This Kirby game is so cool.

I was wondering if they'll continue the 2D games...but after playing through this, is there a point? Like with 3D Land/World, this is literally just Kirby, but in 3D. There's only one logical solution for the future of 2D Kirby games that needs to happen...

@NinChocolate

I think they will mostly reserve 2D for smaller, free-to- play stuff. But we'll see.

By the way, I found a fun little easter-egg: If you jump of the item-upgrade building in Waddle dee town you can jump on the head of one of the Waddle dee's, complete with a sound-effect.

Also, is it just me or did they change Dedede's beak?

"HAL" room anyone?

Fought what I thought was the final boss (not counting Arena shenanigans), but of course there's a post game world.

Looks like I'm not quite done yet.

Just completed the main story. Am only missing two Waddle Dee's and didn't complete the record time in five (?) Treasure Roads. What a phenomenal game!

That final boss was tough! I died two times on the final form and only had a sliver of health left in my third attempt. Or maybe I am just bad at gaming? Haha.

@NinChocolate I went with the fire dragon the first time as I had used it quite a bit previously, but swapped to the Meta Knight sword for the next two. It is neat to think of how different our battles probably were. Maybe I'll go back and try that out!

I beat the final boss my first try, but I only had a little bit of health left (wouldn't have died anyway as I didn't have to use my stored healing item, though I was close to pulling the trigger).

I was using the Space Ranger ability.

Post game spoilers.

Phantom Tropic Woods was an absolute pain. I beat it on my first try, however I had to rely on my stored Maxim Tomato to win. If he was so hard I don't want to know what the other variants will be like, lol.

@NinChocolate

True, but I guess they just focus on 3D because that's the modern thing. If You look at Nintendo you see that they have totally ditched the sidescrollers over time. If there will be 2D Kirby, then I guess it will just be a free-to-play title (with microtransactions). I guess that did them well to on 3DS and Switch. Or maybe a Star allies 2 on Switch 2, but I don't think the chances are high. I could be totally wrong though. Or maybe they put 2D sections in their 3D games, like Nintendo has done before with Mario?

@Henmii @NinChocolate They won't completely ditch 2D but it may be like Mario, Zelda and Pokemon (may also apply to DK but that franchise hasn't had a new game in general since 2014) where new games get closer to full 3D open world and maintain it meanwhile traditional style lives on in the form of ports, remasters and remakes.
