Summary

• Kirby Superstar offers multiple smaller campaigns packed with classic Kirby gameplay.
• Kirby and the Forgotten Land is Kirby's successful transition to 3D exploration.
• Kirby Fighters 2 is a passable fighting game but plays similarly to Super Smash Bros.

Kirby is one of the most memorable characters in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo's history, and leave it to them to make a pink circle, two eyes, and a mouth a cultural juggernaut that iꦏs taken with the same level of respect as Mario, Sonic, and Link.

The 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch is a home for both the newer and older titles in the Kirby series, thanks to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Nintendo Switch Online's retro collection and Hal Laboratory's dedication to keeping the Kirby renaissance going. But, with every great series comes a question:ꦚ which game is the best, and which should I spend my money on?

Updated on April 24, 2025, by Kyle Chamaillard: Kirby has starred in many games, and fortunately, most of them are available in one way or another on the Nintendo Switch. We've updated this list to include more information about each title to help you decide which ones to play first.

17 Kirby Fighters🦹 2 🐽

Another Brawl

Kirby Fighters 2 is okay for what it is: a fighting gam🎉e consisting entirely of Kirby characters. With 22 playable fighters (17 of which are Kirby abilities, and the remainder, buddies), it does exactly what it needs to be a passable fighting game.

The thing that drops it to the bottom of the list is that it plays so similarly to 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Smash Bros. that you might as well just play that since it offers more content and overlaps a decent amount with Kirby Fighters 2. If you just can't get enough of Kirಌby, though, this is the game for you.

16 🃏 Super Kirby Clash 𓄧

A Party Of Kirby

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Super Kirby Clash is a fine free-to-start experience that doesn't touch any of the highs of the rest of Kirby's titles but is still a fun time nonetheless. You'll spend most of your time taking on challenging missio🌃ns, which are essentially mainline Kirby boss fights, with three other players (or CPUs) of varying RPG classes.

While there is a lot of content here, most of it revolves aroun🦩d a singular experience that you can only play in small bursts before running out of in-game currency, which either restores by itself over time or is purchased for real money. If you like Kirby boss fights to the max, maybe Super Kirby Clash𓆉 will scratch your itch.

15 Kirby's Dream Buffet

Rollin' Over

Like most of the games on the top half of this list, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Kirby's Dream Buffet is just okay– there aren't any terrible titles, only games that are underwhelming. Kirby's Dream Buffet centers around a gameplay loop of racing three other players to the end of food-filled tracks to get the biggest bounty of strawber🅰ri♛es.

There are a decent amount of tracks, a variety of bonus game modes, and 1♐68澳洲幸运5开奖网:cute costumes that you can make 𝄹Kirby wear, but at the end of the day, the core of the gameplay is more somet🦩hing you might pull out at a party than call your favorite Kirby game.

14 Kirby's Star Stacker

Stack 'Em All

Kirby's Star Stacker launched on the Game Boy internationally, but the Super Famicom version of the g𒀰ame -🥂 the one that is currently available on Nintendo Switch Online - was only available in Japan until recently. The console version features better graphics and a competitive multiplayer mode, which makes it superior to the handheld Star Stacker.

If you enjoy puzzle games like Tetris or 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dr. Mario, it won't take long for you to be sucked in by S൲tar Stacker's surprisingly engaging gameplay. The colorful blocks and charac♛ter portraits create a friendly atmosphere for a game that can also be incredibly challenging if you play on one of the higher-difficulty settings.

13 Kirby's Avalanche

A Copy Of Puyo Puyo

Kirby's Avalanche is Puyo Puyo. No, not like Puyo Puyo, and not borrowing from Puyo Puyo– Kirby's Avalanche is, one for one, a Puyo Puyo game with a coat of paint ꦛresembling the🍨 pink puffball and his world.

There's not much to say here– if you like Puyo Puyo, this does the job and provides something new to look at while playing. Even so, you won't be blamed if you're looking for 💧a little more that actually concerns Kirby in a game that has his name on it. At least Kirby gives you something to look at by hopping around the screen as you play.

12 Kirby's Dream Land

Kirby's First Adventure

Kirby's Dream Land for the Game Boy was the protagonist's first adventure, though most ofꦯ his iconic features wouldn't be introduced 🅺until Kirby's Adventure for the NES. Here, Kirby can eat and spit out enemies, but he doesn't have the power to copy their abilities yet.

While Kirby's versatility is a defining characteristic, Dream Land is still a great platformer that i𝓀ntroduces iconic characters, like Whispy Woods, King Dedede, and Kracko. If you're a completionist who wants to play every Kirby game available, the first chapter of his story should take roughly an hour to complete.

11 Kirby Tilt 'N' Tumble

Move The Console, Move The Kirby

Kirby has starred in some interesting spin-offs and Tilt 'N' Tumble was one of the first examples of how flexible and weird the pink protagonist is willing to get. When it 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:first launched on the Game Boy, the cartridge had a buil💞t-in accelerometer, so you could tilt your console to control which direction Kirby rolls toward.

It's a fun gimmick that only gets fru𓆏strating when it misreads what direction you want Kirby to go in. This mechanic has been carried over to Tilt 'N' Tumble on Nintendo Switch Online, so you can move your console around - pr𒉰eferably in handheld mode- to get Kirby to the goal in this unique title.

You must൲ have a subscription to Nintendo Switch Online ꦓto access this title.

10 Kirby's Dream Course

A Fun Spin On Golf

Yeah, Kirby's Dream Course might just🎐 be golf, but it does such a great job of combining the sport with t🐷he world and key elements of Kirby that it can be excused. Rather than get to the hole in as few strikes as possible, you want to eliminate all the enemies on the field to reveal an exit to escape to.

Even further, copy abilities play a core role in gameplay, aꦛltering how Kirby moves when struck and causing you to be more intentional about the order in whiꦍch you eliminate enemies.

9 Kirby And The 𒈔Amazing Mirror 𝓡

A Metroidvania With Friends

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror originally arrived on the Game Boy Advance and introduced a couple of fun twists to the classic Kirby formula. Firstly, the game's m💫ap is less linear than other titles and feels more like a Metroidvania than a straight platformer, and you can play it with up to three friends as long as everyone owns a copy of the game.

It's refreshing to see Kirby break the mold, but Amazing Mirror 𝓰still has a handful of flaws that prevent it from being a better game. Still, it's great that you can play it wherever you like, and if your friends also subscribe to Nintendo Switch Online, you can play the entir🥀e game with them through online co-op.

You must have a Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscription to🀅 access this titl🌞e.

8 Kirby's Dream Land 2

With A Little Help From My Animal Friends

Kirby's Dream Land 2 takes everythinཧg from its predecessor and expands upon it to create one of Kirby's greatest adventures. While the first Dream Land lacked some personality and Kirby's iconic copy abilities, the sequel remedies this with colorful flair and seemingly endless possibilities.

More than anyt🌄hing, Dream Land 2 is often viewed as one of 𝓰the more challenging games in a series that's often perceived to be for younger audiences. Earning 100% completion will require you to solve some tough puzzles with the help of some new friends - Rick, Kine, and Coo.
