What is Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World?

From our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: "Kirby and the Forgotten Land successfully transforms the series' fun blend of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a three-dimensional experience. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as thematically engaging as Planet Popstar, it remains beautifully vibrant, with cleverly designed levels that smartly utilize Kirby’s abilities. Despite the shift to 3D, Forgotten Land retains the essence of what makes classic Kirby games so beloved – and if the future brings more 3D adventures for our pink hero, I'm all in."

The Nintendo Switch 2 version not only comes with the full original game with enhanced graphics but also includes the Star-Crossed World expansion. This new content introduces a fresh adventure where Kirby must employ his remarkable abilities, including some new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through uncharted territories following a powerful meteor strike, as described by Nintendo.
