Kirby's Dream Land 3 is a video game released for theSuper Nintendo Entertainment System in 1997. This game is the direct sequel toKirby's Dream Land 2, adapting many mechanics of that game and continuing the story of the fight againstDark Matter. This game was followed byKirby 64: The Crystal Shards in 2000, which expanded further upon the ideas introduced in this game and its predecessor. In 2009, the game was re-released via theWii'sVirtual Console service. It was later re-released in 2012 with otherKirby games inKirby's Dream Collection, and again in 2013 as part of theWii U's Virtual Console service. It would also be released in 2019 on theNintendo Switch as part of Nintendo Switch Online.

Kirby's Dream Land 3 continues the central concept of its predecessor by featuring only eight basiccopy abilities forKirby to acquire, but allowing him to pair these abilities with one of hisAnimal Friends for a different effect. Instead of just three friends, however, Kirby has access to a total of six, with each one offering a different set of strengths and drawbacks, as well as providing unique combinations when paired with an ability. Kirby also has access to an expanded moveset, which includes theSlide technique, theHeadbutt, and theDash. In addition, a second player can join in asGooey, who can be called forth from inside Kirby's mouth at any time, and has nearly all of the same skills, including the copy ability and the ability to pair with animals. If no second player is available, Gooey can be directed by theCPU to act as ahelper similar to the ones inKirby Super Star.
