How to Start Kirby and the Forgotten Land’s Star-Crossed World DLC

by

First launched in March 2022, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is among several games slated for an enhanced upgrade on the hypothetical Switch 2 console. Alongside enhanced graphics and performance, the Switch 2 edition of the game includes the Star-Crossed World DLC pack as a bonus. This extra content features twelve captivating Starry Stages, enriching an already engaging gaming experience.

Regretfully, fresh players won’t immediately begin the Star-Crossed World DLC, but they won’t have a long wait to start it. However, established players who elect to continue with their save file can dive in straight away; for those who might face issues, this guide on the Kirby and the Forgotten Land DLC should be of assistance.

How to Start the Star-Crossed World DLC in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

To initiate the Star-Crossed World DLC in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, players first need to conquer all five stages in the Natural Plains and defeat Gorimondo, who acts as the game’s initial major boss. Once accomplished, a cinematic scene unfolds displaying a meteor hitting the ocean east of the Natural Plains, investigating this meteor initiates the DLC. It should be mentioned that the DLC’s twelve stages are dispersed across different zones, so while you can start Star-Crossed World by completing just the Natural Plains, progressing further through the main story of the game is necessary to complete the DLC. The last DLC stage (Crystal Beast Pack Volcano Battle) is located in the Redgar Forbidden Lands region.

If players have already conquered Gorimondo, they’re free to head directly towards the volcanic island close to the Natural Plains to begin the Star-Crossed World expansion.

How Long Does it Take to Beat the Kirby and the Forgotten Land DLC? (Star-Crossed World Length)

Similar to many stages found in the initial release of “Kirby and the Forgotten Land”, each DLC stage is approximately 10 minutes long, suggesting that the entire Star-Crossed World DLC could be finished within 2 to 3 hours. For players aiming to accomplish every bonus mission and rescue all 104 Starries, additional time may be needed due to some hidden missions being challenging and requiring multiple attempts. The DLC is enjoyable and a great extra for those who didn’t get the base game when it first came out on the original Switch. However, players who have already played “Kirby and the Forgotten Land” might find it hard to justify the cost of the upgrade.
