《星之卡比 探索發現 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + 星耀世界》（日文名稱：星のカービィ ディスカバリー Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + スターリーワールド）是任天堂於2025 年針對Nintendo Switch 2所推出的擴充版本。不僅收錄原始版本《星之卡比 探索發現》的完整內容，更追加全新篇章「星耀世界」，帶來更深層次的探索與戰鬥挑戰。這也是《星之卡比》系列首度全面進化為3D視角的作品，標誌著系列轉型的重要里程碑。

背景設定在一個神秘且遺世獨立的「新世界」，融合廢墟、工業區、原始森林等多元地貌。卡比意外來到這個世界後，發現瓦豆魯迪族人被野獸軍團綁架，於是展開救援冒險。在這趟旅程中，結識神祕新角色「艾菲靈」，兩人將攜手穿越未知領域，揭開這片土地背後的秘密。

《探索發現》的最大革新，是導入名為「塞滿嘴變形」（Mouthful Mode）的全新能力系統。這使卡比不再僅限於吸入敵人模仿能力，還能吞下各種場景道具，如自動販賣機、汽車、電線桿等，並藉由其型態進行特殊動作與謎題破解，豐富了解謎與平台跳躍的策略深度。搭配系列一貫的「複製能力」變化，讓每一關都充滿新鮮感與驚喜。

「星耀世界」作為全新追加篇章，延續主線劇情，拓展出更多尚未揭露的世界區域與敵人類型。這部分內容設計上較原作更具挑戰性，不僅關卡更長、更複雜，敵人的攻擊模式也更加多樣，鼓勵玩家深入鑽研技能運用與隊友搭配。此外，新篇章也追加更多複製能力進化階段與裝備要素，使角色成長系統更完整。

在操作層面上，採用直覺式的第三人稱控制方式，卡比的行動與攻擊動作保持流暢，即使是系列初學者也能迅速上手。而針對Nintendo Switch 2所做的技術升級，則使得場景表現、光影細節與載入速度有顯著提升。無論是在掌機或電視模式下遊玩，都能享受到穩定且細膩的視覺體驗。

在初版推出時就已大獲好評，被視為卡比系列歷年來最大膽的變革之作，擁有亮眼的銷售成績與玩家口碑。而所追加的「星耀世界」，則加深整體的可玩性與耐玩度。玩家社群普遍認為新內容延續卡比冒險的童話感與挑戰樂趣，也為原作留下的疑問做出補充。

儘管整體難度有所上升，特別是在「星耀世界」中對解謎與動作的要求更高，但依然保有任天堂一貫的設計哲學——易於上手、難於精通。若是喜愛平台冒險、角色扮演與輕鬆合作模式的玩家，《星之卡比 探索發現 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + 星耀世界》將會是新主機平台上不可錯過的精緻作品。

Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Starry World (Japanese title: 星のカービィ ディスカバリー Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + スターリーワールド) is an expanded version of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, released by Nintendo in 2025 exclusively for the Nintendo Switch 2. This edition includes the complete original game along with an all-new chapter titled “Starry World”, delivering deeper exploration and more intense combat challenges. As the first fully 3D mainline title in the Kirby series, it marks a significant milestone in the franchise’s evolution.

The story is set in a mysterious and isolated realm known as the “New World”, featuring a rich variety of landscapes—ranging from ruins and industrial zones to lush primeval forests. After being mysteriously transported to this unfamiliar world, Kirby discovers that the Waddle Dees have been kidnapped by the Beast Pack, prompting him to embark on a rescue mission. Along the way, he meets a mysterious new companion named Elfilin, and together, they journey through uncharted territories to uncover the secrets of this strange land.

The core innovation of The Forgotten Land lies in the introduction of “Mouthful Mode”, a new gameplay mechanic that allows Kirby to ingest and take control of various environmental objects—such as vending machines, cars, and power poles. This adds a unique twist to the traditional copy ability system, expanding the depth of puzzle-solving and platforming with creative, object-based transformations. Combined with the familiar Copy Abilities, each level feels fresh and full of delightful surprises.

The newly added “Starry World” chapter builds on the main story, unlocking previously unseen areas and introducing new enemy types. Designed to be more challenging than the base game, this expansion features longer, more complex levels, with enemies that display more intricate attack patterns, encouraging players to master ability usage and coordinate with allies more strategically. The update also includes new evolution stages for copy abilities and introduces light equipment customization, enhancing the game’s progression system.

Gameplay retains a third-person perspective with intuitive controls, ensuring smooth movement and responsive combat. Even newcomers to the series will find it easy to pick up and play. With the Nintendo Switch 2’s upgraded hardware, the game sees significant improvements in visual fidelity, lighting effects, and load times—providing a seamless and refined experience in both handheld and docked modes.

The original version of The Forgotten Land was already celebrated upon release as the most ambitious reimagining in Kirby history, praised for its bold transition to 3D and its accessible, yet creative design. The addition of Starry World extends the game’s longevity and depth. Fans have responded positively, noting how the new content preserves the series’ whimsical charm while offering meaningful answers to unresolved narrative elements from the base game.

While the overall difficulty has been slightly increased—particularly with the added emphasis on puzzle-solving and action precision in Starry World—the game continues to follow Nintendo’s core design philosophy: easy to learn, hard to master. For fans of platforming, light RPG mechanics, and cooperative adventures, Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Starry World stands out as one of the most polished and inviting titles on the new platform.
