The main ‘Grand Prix’ of Kirby’s Dream Buffet consists of two obstacle-course style races with a minigame in-between and a battle royale to finish it off, all experienced in rapid-fire succession. Since Kirby’s Dream Buffet grounds itself so heavily in the culinary concept, stage variety feels a bit limited, with each one blending together, being hard to differentiate at times. Unfortunately, I’ve now come to realize that the biggest appeal of exploring food-based worlds is that they’re few and far between. Kirby’s Dream Buffet executes the style near perfectly, with almost every element in the background and foreground being mouth-wateringly delicious looking.
Considering that Kirby’s insatiable appetite is one of his most notable character traits, it’s hard to believe it took until now for him to be put smackdab in the center of a caloric world like this. Does Kirby’s Dream Buffet take the cake? Or is it a bit too undercooked? Let’s dig in!Ī food-themed aesthetic always excites me when it comes to video game levels whether it’s Sweet Sweet Canyon from Mario Kart 8 or the Luncheon Kingdom from Super Mario Odyssey, there’s something so appetizing about seeing oversized versions of your favorite tasty snacks. Developed by Hal Laboratory, the studio also responsible for the main-line Kirby titles, Kirby’s Dream Buffet is a spin-off multiplayer party game that draws immediate, albeit overstated, comparisons to Mediatonic’s Fall Guys. Seeing as the turn-around time from its initial reveal to its subsequent digital-exclusive launch on the Nintendo Switch eShop was just barely over one month, marketing for the game was on the scarce side.
Kirby’s Dream Buffet, not to be confused with the SNES classic Kirby’s Dream Course, seems to have flown under the radar for a lot of people.
