Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a new 3D platformer with open world elements, similar to Mario Odyssey. This has led to gameplay that is expected to be completely different for fans of Kirby the Star Warrior, from maneuver-related abilities that help Kirby explore a mysterious and abandoned world to something as simple as fishing.
Unlike Kirby’s usual platformers, Kirby and the Forgotten Land will feature a home base of sorts known as Waddle Dee Town. But what is Waddle Dee Town, what can Kirby do there, and how does Waddle Dee Town work?
The concept of Waddle Dee Town has been touched upon in the original Kirby and the Forgotten Land trailer in September 2021 and again in the newest Nintendo Direct in February 2022.
In the reveal of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Nintendo fans learned that the overall premise of the new game is Kirby landing in a strange abandoned city and rescuing the Waddle Dees that have been captured by enemies. The rescued Waddle Dees are then brought to Waddle Dee Town.
The most recent trailer explained that rescued Waddle Dees will make the town grow, providing more resources for Kirby. The expansive town contains an abundance of buildings, all seeming to represent a different use for Kirby on his journey.

Waddle Dee Town is a settlement that serves as a hub area and rest stop between explorative trips for Kirby, much like in other open world games. Waddle Dee Town has mini-games, activities, and upgrade opportunities within. Not everything has been revealed about Waddle Dee Town just yet, but here are the things we know Kirby can do here.
Kirby is listed as a “protagonist” on Nintendo’s website. In Kirby canon, the all-powerful pink being is actually just a baby. He can be seen learning about the world in Kirby Right Back At Ya. But some people wonder if he is truly righteous, or if Kirby just gets upset that his food is taken such as when King Dedede steals his cake.
In some sense, Kirby isn’t strictly good. He isn’t a truly self-righteous character. But Kirby is an overall good being who is even willing to save Waddle Dees after they attempted to fight him over the past 30 years. Kirby is a caring entity who never means any real harm. But it can be argued that he is still learning who he truly is and what he stands for.
