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

From our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: "Kirby and the Forgotten Land masterfully transforms the series' enjoyable 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 beautiful and 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. If the future holds more 3D adventures for our voracious pink hero, I'm ready to devour them."

The Nintendo Switch 2 edition of the game not only includes the full original game with upgraded graphics but also the Star-Crossed World expansion, adding a fresh adventure. Nintendo teases the new content: "Kirby must harness his incredible abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, to forge a path through unexplored territories following a devastating meteor strike."
