Confused about Kirby and the Forgotten Land? Get answers to common questions about game modes, controls, language settings, and more in this helpful FAQ guide.

Hey there! So you've found yourself in the Forgotten Land, huh? It's a wild place, but don't worry, I'm here to help you get the hang of things. Let's clear up some of those burning questions you might have.

Q: What is the difference between Wild Mode and Spring-Breeze Mode?

A: Think of it like this: Spring-Breeze Mode is your chill, easy-going adventure, while Wild Mode is for when you're feeling a bit more daring. In Wild Mode, you'll take more damage and have less time to snag those target times on Treasure Road missions, but you'll be rewarded with more coins for beating stages. Spring-Breeze Mode, on the other hand, gives you extra health and doesn't add extra challenges to Treasure Road. You might also notice fewer enemies scattered around in certain areas when playing on Spring-Breeze Mode.

Q: Where are the language options in the game?

A: This one's a little different – you actually change the game's language through your Nintendo Switch's System Settings. Just head to the gear symbol on your Switch's home menu, go to ⚙ System Settings, then find 'Language'. You'll need to restart your console for the change to take effect, but it's pretty straightforward.

The game supports a bunch of languages: Japanese, English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Dutch, Korean, Chinese (Simplified), and Chinese (Traditional).

Q: What are the controls for all of Kirby's powers including his normal state?

A: For a full rundown of Kirby's moves, you'll want to check out the controls page. Keep in mind that the super-powered evolved abilities and Mouthful Mode aren't listed there yet, but the in-game stats are updated, and you can find Bandana Dee's controls too.

Q: How do I change my controls?

A: Inside the game's main menu, you'll find two control presets: Type A and Type B. You can also toggle other settings here, like Auto-Swallow for enemies. If you need more specific adjustments, like inverting controls, you can usually do that when you encounter those situations. For deeper customization, you'll have to go back to your Switch's ⚙ System Settings > Controllers and Sensors > Change Button Mapping. Thankfully, Kirby and the Forgotten Land is pretty forgiving with its button layout, so you'll likely find a setup that works for you without much fuss. Oh, and remember that Bandana Dee's controls will mirror whichever preset you choose for Kirby, so keep that in mind if you're playing co-op!

Q: How do I move faster on the World Map?

A: Easy peasy! Just hold down any trigger or shoulder button (///) while you're exploring the world map, and Kirby will pick up the pace.

Q: Does this game take the shape of an open world?

A: Nope, it's not an open world. You'll be moving through distinct areas rather than one giant, seamless map.

Q: Isn't this guide missing important stuff? Where is the *insert detail *!?

A: You're right to ask! There are definitely a lot of details I'm still working on adding. My main focus right now is filling in the gaps for movesets and abilities. I've shared more about my plans and updates on the Afterword/Version Changes page, so feel free to check that out!
