The seventh mainline Kirby entry, the game is notable for its unique Metroidvania playstyle and being the first in the genre to support cooperative multiplayer, and follows Kirby as he goes on a journey through the Mirror Dimension to reassemble a mirror after Dark Meta Knight traps Meta Knight inside it.

From there the game map branches out in several directions and, providing Kirby has the proper power at his disposal, he is able to go anywhere in almost any order, excluding the final sequence.

Apart from the first, each area of the game houses a major boss who possesses a shard from the broken Dimension Mirror that sits in the center of the hub world.

After defeating him, Kirby is armed with the real Meta Knight's Master Sword and taken to fight Dark Mind, the true mastermind behind the Mirror World's corruption, multiple times.
