Winter Horns is the fourthlevel ofKirby and the Forgotten Land, accessible after clearingWondaria Remains. It consists of five main stages and tenTreasure Road stages. There are a total of 49Waddle Dees to rescue in this level. The boss of the level isKing Dedede, who is fought in the final regular stage,An Unexpected Beast King. Winter Horns is, fittingly, filled with stages that take on a frigid winter theme, with snow, ice, and freezing water being commonplace. The ruins here are largely made of brick and cobble, reflecting an architectural style similar to that of Victorian-era London.
InKirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World, Winter Horns also features two Starry Stages and 20Starries to rescue.
