Kirby and the Forgotten Land marks the next step in the adventures of a Nintendo favorite, but as has been the case through many of the publisher’s games over the years that feature a multiplayer mode, there’s more than a single protagonist to play. Here’s a list of all playable characters in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, which perhaps isn’t quite as extensive as you might have hoped for!

All Playable Characters in Kirby and the Forgotten Land

Indeed, the list isn’t very long; there are just two playable characters in Kirby and the Forgotten Land:

  • KirbyBandana Waddle Dee

You will, of course, be playing Kirby during the game’s single-player campaign, while Bandana Waddle Dee is only playable during cooperative multiplayer gameplay. If you’re unsure about how to unlock co-op then you can read our detailed guide here; in brief, you need to finish the game’s first level.

As for whether there are any more characters coming to Kirby and the Forgotten Land moving forward, we’re not sure — nothing has yet been announced. Other characters such as Meta Knight and King Dedede could potentially be made playable moving forward in a post-launch update, so we’ll keep you posted if we hear anything.

Until then, that’s the full list of all playable characters in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. For more useful tips and guides on the game, you can search Twinfinite. There’s some content listed below you may also find interesting.
