New to the series in this game is Kirby's ability to utilize a mecha suit known as the Robobot Armor to solve puzzles and fight enemies.

[2][3] New to this game is a mech suit known as the Robobot Armor that Kirby can pilot, allowing him to destroy certain obstacles, lift heavy objects, and defeat large enemies.

Team Kirby Clash is an action role-playing game in which up to four players choose a character class and work together to fight large bosses, earning experience along the way.

One day, a massive spacecraft called the Access Ark suddenly conquers and mechanizes Kirby's home, Planet Popstar.

Kirby, who slept through the entire invasion, awakens to find his planet being stripped of its energy and sets off to make things right.

As Kirby fights back against the company's colonization, he also battles Clanky Woods (a cybernetic Whispy Woods), a hologram defense system featuring some of his past enemies, Susie in her power suit, a brainwashed and mechanized Meta Knight renamed "Mecha Knight," and three imperfect clones of Dedede.

Enraged, Haltmann attempts to use Star Dream to destroy Kirby, but is betrayed by Susie, who intends on selling the machine to other companies.

Kirby fights and destroys Star Dream, but it revives and takes control of the Access Ark, transforming itself into a sentient, mechanical planet.

As Dedede awakens in the wreckage of his castle and Susie leaves the planet, quickly pursued by Meta Knight, Kirby rushes off on his next big quest after waving goodbye.

As Kirby destroys each of the pillars surrounding the heart, Haltmann screams in agony as Star Dream deletes him from its systems.

The game would have featured the Hypernova ability, though it was eventually replaced with the Robobot Armor in order to avoid retreading old ground.

The first, released in April 2017, is Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, which expands on the minigame's action role-playing elements with additional levels and features.

[22] GameSpot awarded the game an 8 out of 10, praising the gameplay, level design, characters, visuals, soundtrack, and extra modes, but criticized the "rarely challenging" difficulty.

[27] IGN's Brendan Graeber rated the game an 8.0, praising its clever use of 3D-based puzzles in vibrant worlds, boss fights, the Robobot mech, and additional modes, but criticized the difficulty and invulnerably easy blocking.

[30] Ollie Barder of Forbes gave it a positive review, comparing it to the mecha anime series Gurren Lagann.

[36] Destructoid's Chris Carter gave it a 7 out of 10, stating, "While the robot motif comes in half-cocked, Planet Robobot is still a safe, serviceable Kirby game.
