Area Patch

An Area Patch is an item in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Overview[]

Area Patches can be obtained by completing a level and can only be used in their corresponding level (for example, an Area Patch obtained in Grass Land can only be used in Grass Land). These will cause something to happen on the overworld and will unlock new areas to explore and stages to complete.

List of Area Patches[]

Grass Land[]

Name	Unlocks	Patch	Description
Butterfly patch	Flower Fields		A pair of butterflies emerges from the patch and land on a group of large flowers. The plants bloom spectacularly as the insects flutter around them, opening the path to this level.
Alarm Clock patch	Rainbow Falls		The alarm clock appears underground right next to a sleeping bear. It then gets set off, ringing its alarm causing the bear to slowly wake up. As the bear gets up, he stretches and yawns, which causes the land above him to rise and open the way to this level. He then goes back to sleep.
Bean patch	Big-Bean Vine		A bean is planted into the ground and a beanstalk sprouts out and grows from the ground, leading the way to this level.
Watering Can patch	Fangora Boss Battle		A watering can appears and waters the soil beneath the beanstalk. The beanstalk then grows even larger, allowing access to Fangora.
Mole patch	Mole Hole		A mole tunnels through the base of a hill, causing it to shrink and reveal the next level.
Firecracker patch	Weird Woods		A firecracker surprises an owl into flying away, dropping a curtain with platforms to the next level.

Hot Land[]

Name	Unlocks	Patch	Description
Genie patch	Lava Landing		A magic lamp appears on the ground, causing a genie to come out of it. This genie then inhales deeply and blows air at the rolled-up rug area ahead, opening up more of the map.
Boxing Bell patch	Cool Cave		The boxing bell rings, which summons a large boxing genie to drop in and punch the last remaining part of the rolled-up rug, unveiling more of the area.
Torch patch	Dino Jungle		A torch lights itself on a set of logs, causing a fire which cooks the chunk of meat above. A large, sauropod-like dinosaur appears from the cave and notices the hunk of meat. It then proceeds to take a bite out of and eat it whole and leaving the bone, opening the way to this level.
Pepper patch	Hot Wings Boss Battle		The volcano in the center of the map is exposed to a hot pepper, which causes it to erupt intensely. Lava fills the symbol in the background and causes clouds to appear, opening the way to Hot Wings.
Hourglass patch	Temper Temple		A square-like shape appears over a transparent pyramid in the background, and then it switches itself around to form an hourglass, which fills itself up from the bottom. It then turns itself upside-down, causing the sand to fill up said pyramid, opening the way to this level.
Candle patch	Dusk Dunes		The candle lights a fuse beneath a dark city. A series of fireworks goes off, causing the clouds around the city to move away, and opening up the next level.

Treat Land[]

Name	Unlocks	Patch	Description
Hammer patch	Mushroom Run		A large hammer smashes the ground, causing large mushrooms to pop up. Mushroom Run is now accessible.
Cake patch	Sweets Park		A large cake falls from the sky, opening the path to Sweets Park.
Candy patch	Melody Town		The new patch causes a piano-themed layer of cake to pop up above the first layer. The piano emits two streams of music notes and opens up the next level.
Air Pump patch	Squashini Boss Battle		The air pump inflates a pumpkin-shaped balloon near Toy Tracks' door. Once fully inflated, the balloon floats high in the sky, allowing access to Squashini.
Cookie patch	Cocoa Station		Yet another layer of cake is added above the piano, opening the door to Treat Land's first bonus level.
Chocolate patch	Dark Manor		As a final touch to the massive cake, an ominous chocolate manor emerges from the very top, allowing access to the next bonus level.

Water Land[]

Name	Unlocks	Patch	Description
Whistle patch	Blub-Blub Ocean		A whistle is blown, surprising a school of fish. The fish promptly move away from a door, giving Kirby access to Blub-Blub Ocean.
Hoop patch	Secret Island		A red-and-white striped hoop will appear on the sea, and a dolphin, an orca, and a blue whale will try to hop through it. The whale then decides to stay at the surface and spout water, allowing Kirby to enter Secret Island.
Heart patch	Deep-Dive Deep		A female angler will appear and kiss a big, male angler on the light. The male angler lights up, removing the darkness around it and opening the way to Deep-Dive Deep.
Octopus Nook patch	Capamari Boss Battle		A large jar will appear next to Capamari's door. The octopus lying in front of the door will enter the jar instead, allowing Kirby to battle Capamari.
Treasure Map patch	Boom Boatyard		Treasure appears beneath Secret Island, causing a pirate ship to pull up next to the island. Kirby can then climb aboard and enter Boom Boatyard.
Wrench patch	Fossil Reef		Tools appear and fix a broken submarine, which immediately sails away and leaves Fossil Reef available to play.

Snow Land[]

Name	Unlocks	Patch	Description
Mitten patch	Cozy Cabin		A mitten appears, taking the yarn from the big snowman's hat to make a cabin that looks identical with the mitten itself. Cozy Cabin will become available.
Spool patch	Mt. Slide		A huge spool will appear right next to the big snowman and it takes some of the yarn from the big snowman's head, as the body becomes the head. The spool then stitches the nearby mountain and completing Mt. Slide. After that, Kirby can go to the mountain to continue his journey.
Snowflake patch	Frosty Wheel		A huge snowflake appears and unravels even more yarn from the big snowman's body. The snowflake will spin around, thus making a giant snowflake wheel. Once it's done, the wheel will slow down, allowing Kirby to reach Frosty Wheel.
Diamond Dust patch	King Dedede Boss Battle		Diamond dust appears, along with a strong wind. The wind will blow the remaining yarn from the snowman and create an aurora with it, leaving a small snowman dressed in a crown and cloak. When the aurora is finished, a door will open, allowing Kirby to challenge King Dedede.
Penguin patch	Frigid Fjords		Five penguins appear and belly slide along the way. When they're belly sliding, they will knock out ice pillars and allowing Kirby to visit Frigid Fjords.
Holiday Gift patch	Evergreen Lift		Confetti, fireworks, presents, and trumpet sounds will play just like when it's Christmas. The pine trees suddenly light up, giving Kirby access to Evergreen Lift.

Twinkling Star patch	Stellar Way		A star appears and creates a constellation at the top of the UFO. Kirby can jump on the constellation and reach Stellar Way.
Switch patch	Meta Knight Boss Battle		A switch appears at the bottom of Space Land and activates itself. It then reveals a large dome at the center of Space Land. Kirby can then battle Meta Knight.
Satellite patch	Moon Base		A satellite on a moon wrapped with yarn rolls up the yarn, revealing Moon Base.

Boxing Glove patch	Castle Dedede		Castle Dedede suddenly grows arms and punches the ground, creating stars to serve as stairs to the castle.
Bells of Joy patch	Yin-Yarn Boss Battle		The bells appear in the center of the map and begin to ring, causing an infuriated Yin-Yarn to appear and trash them. He then darkens the level, surrounds the boss door with an energy aura, and passes through, allowing Kirby to enter the final battle.
Baseball Bat patch	Meta Melon Isle		A Waddle Dee comes with a baseball bat and hits a watermelon with the bat. It then tries to walk on the melon, only to fall off and open a door. The door then grants access to Meta Melon Isle.
