** The Spark ability in this game is ''brutal.'' It combines the classic Spark (hold down attack to erect an electric force-field) with the Plasma[[note]]from ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' and ''VideoGame/KirbyAirRide''[[/note]] ability's charged-shot mechanic. Unlike Plasma, however, where you had to charge by mashing in various directions, you can charge KRTD's Spark by shaking the Wii Remote, which can quickly and easily fully charge the shot (although you can also mash the controller in this game as well) -- combined with the fact that the fully charged blast deals ''ludicrous'' damage to just about anything, it can take down even the FinalBoss in less than a minute. That is, of course, assuming your wrists don't get sore from waggling while dodging attacks. On top of all that, hitting the attack button while holding up or down will fire a lightning bolt to the edge of the screen in that direction, instantly hitting everything either above or below you regardless of your charge level.
*** Spark is even more powerful since, when fully charged, there is a barrier of electricity surrounding him that does decent damage and even protects him from the majority of enemy attacks; either the enemy can't get close enough to attack without getting hurt (and subsequently knocked away), or the projectiles they use are destroyed as soon as they touch the barrier. On top of that, if Spark Kirby is riding on another Kirby's back, the barrier is large enough to protect '''both of them.'''
** Ice is great for people who never want to risk getting hit. It's status as game breaker is maintained in Star Allies and Robobot, as well, for two principle reasons. First, the dash-down-B attack. It does ''fully charged Spark ball damage,'' can be spammed faster than the spark attack, and best of all, ''it gives invincibility frames'', meaning you can just ram into bosses at your leisure. Dash-B is also good for stationary bosses you can hug up against, or bosses that just don't move much. The other main reason why Ice is good is that, like Leaf below, its guard state leaves you completely invincible, making Ice great as both a rushdown and stone wall ability. Best of all, dash-down-B is rather big, meaning it can attack enemies that are pretty high up, and Ice has other moves that it can use to attack at any angle besides directly up.
** Water deserves mention as well, notably its dash attack. Although it doesn't seem like much at first (Kirby rides a wave forward, with no way to control/stop it until it ends a short distance away), Kirby is ''literally invincible'' during the entire attack, meaning you can just coast through anything, from giant boulders to the final bosses' huge lasers. The other attacks aren't bad either; you can shoot a geyser straight up to hit flying bosses, or send blobs of water across the ground with unlimited range. Still, the dash attack is just ridiculous.
*** Water's Rainbow Rain attack does a good amount of damage and can be chained infinitely, if you're quick enough. Oh, and Kirby is invincible the whole time, and said chaining makes him permanently invincible, and you can also suspend him in midair with this, if you need to hit a floating boss.
** Special mention goes to the Leaf ability. Its guard renders you completely intangible to almost all attacks (it won't save you from being sucked into a vortex of pain, for example) ,so if you're having trouble dodging certain enemy maneuvers, grab Leaf, hold A, and forget.
*** It also has some very useful attacks. "Leaf Uppercut" has absurd range for what it is and is very easy to spam, "Leaf Swirl" does insane damage over a short period of time (absolutely shredding Whispy Woods), and "Leaf Rain" (like "Leaf Uppercut") is easily spammable and deals rather decent damage. It doesn't hurt that Leaf's guard fires off projectiles over a short range (similar to Stone), allowing the player to deal damage on bosses that have just moved away.
** Not to mention the Tornado ability, as always. It makes Kirby completely invincible until he stops spinning, making it easy to avoid damage ''and'' punish enemy assaults. Not only that, but it now has a charging attack that is used by shaking the Wii Remote while Kirby is spinning. When he stops, the tornado spreads out as it dissipates, causing a ton of constant damage and covering Kirby as he recovers. Needless to say, mastering Tornado is just about the same as mastering Spark, and having at least two Kirbys with both of these abilities will absolutely wreck any boss that stands in their way.

** Hammer's infamy for this carries on into this game. It's made worse with Dedede, who naturally keeps his Hammer even after using Hammer Throw, meaning he can just spam it as much as he wants.
* HilariousInHindsight: King Dedede's lack of qualms in attacking Whispy Woods, and vice versa, brings back memories of the former's intention of cutting the latter down for his private country club back in ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa''.

When he stops, the tornado spreads out as it dissipates, causing a ton of constant damage and covering Kirby as he recovers. Needless to say, mastering Tornado is just about the same as mastering Spark, and having at least two Kirbys with both of these abilities will absolutely wreck any boss that stands in their way.
** Meta Knight can use his Shuttle Loop from ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' in this game. It eats at boss HP like crazy and it's very spammable. Wing Kirby has the same ability and several air dashes that let him blow through stages nearly completely invincible, although SomeDexterityRequired.

* RecycledScript: This game is essentially the gameplay of ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'' merged with the plot of [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Milky Way Wishes]]. There are 120 energy spheres scattered throughout the game that require skill, paying attention, and/or having the right power to collect them. Two of Kirby's [[EnemyMine enemies team up with him]]. As for the plot, [[spoiler:Magolor asks you to collect the lost parts of his ship so that he can return home, then he offers to take you there. Once there, you retrieve a dangerously powerful artifact, which Magolor steals from you to rule the galaxy, and you have to stop him.]]

Not a YMMV trope. Moving to Trivia.


* DevelopmentHell: This game started as the UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube title, was scrapped, then went through several re-imaginings until this became the final product. According to [[http://iwataasks.nintendo.com/interviews/#/wii/kirby-dream-land/0/0 this interview]], development started as soon as ''Kirby 64'' was completed, meaning it took ''eleven years'' for it to be released.

** IGN and Gamespot's scores of 7.5 got this reaction.
** Also, [[http://www.negativeworld.org/article.php?id=6814&pagenumber=1 a fan review]] on gaming site ''Negative World'' gave the game the Trope Name's score... but, oddly enough, it was written by ''Matthew "Webcomic/BrawlInTheFamily" Taranto'', '''of all people.'''
* BreatherBoss: Plot-wise, the Metal General, who comes in between the climactic fights against the Grand Doomer and Landia. [[spoiler:This was made up for in Extra Mode, where he got the greatest changes, becoming a Sequential Boss with HR-D3. Its appearence pretty much strips him of his Breather boss status in Extra Mode.]]
