Kirby: Ultra Quest is a video game in the Kirby series for Nintendo 3DS developed by Super Studios and HAL laboratory, it also serves as a reboot of the forgotten character Keeby.

Gameplay[]

The gameplay is very similar to past installments as Kirby can still jump, fly, and inhale, and he can still gain copy abilities from certain enemies.

Kirby also reunites with some of his animal buddies, Rick the Hamster, Kine the Fish, and Coo the Owl, who help him throughout the game.

Kirby can also collect various collectables such as Mystery Orbs which will unlock the Boss and EX stages in the game and Story Scrolls which explain the various backstories of the characters in the game.

Story[]

One day, Kirby was running down a path when a portal opens and a puffball resembling himself comes out and steals the Ultra Star; Dreamland's source of power, Kirby follows the copy cat into the portal. When Kirby enters the portal he starts to remember many lost memories of the past yet can't seem to remember who that yellow stranger is. Kirby continues to explore this new land before discovering a path of footprints that leads to a mysterious forest and follows it.

After completing both Forgotten Forest and Lost Lagoon, Kirby makes his way into Rusty Ruins where he finds the yellow stranger who reveals himself as Keeby, after a short battle Keeby runs away dropping a map in the process showing where he is heading to (as well as revealing the name of the Forgotten Realm). After following the map throughout the Forgotten Realm, Kirby makes it to the Cracked Castle where he encounters Keeby yet again but unlike last time they have no time to fight as Keeby jumps on a warpstar and Kirby chases him and jumps on the same warpstar, while on the warpstar the two begin to fight as warpstar starts to crash into a asteroid belt known as Abandoned Asteroids. After crashing, Kirby notices a glowing planet and runs to it. 

After exploring most of Abandoned Asteroids, Kirby finally makes it to the glowing planet where he finds Keeby about to put the Ultra Star on a glowing shrine, however Kirby stops him right before it happens and the two begin to fight.

After defeating Keeby, Kirby heads to grab the Ultra Star but before he can a shadowy figure knocks it away revealing itself to be Dimenticato: a evil monster that plans on destroying the Forgotten Realm and Dreamland, Keeby runs over to Kirby and tells him that he stole the Ultra Star so that he could defeat Dimenticato. Dimenticato then throws Keeby into a asteroid faraway and attacks Kirby but misses and Kirby attacks Dimenticato as the final boss begins.

After Kirby seemingly defeats him, Dimenticato revives and becomes Dimenticato Core: a nearly invincible form of Dimenticato. Keeby quickly dashes to Kirby where he throws the Ultra Star to him, Kirby jumps on it and flies towards Dimenticato Core where the true final battle begins. After a long long battle, Dimenticato Core is finally defeated and peace is restored to the Forgotten Realm. Keeby appears and thanks Kirby as he uses the Ultra Star to open a portal to Dreamland.

Kirby jumps through the portal and turns around to wave goodbye to Keeby before the portal closes. Kirby then smells the aroma of his favorite food (strawberry shortcake) and follows it to Dedede's Castle as the credits roll.
