| “ | Ahhh. It's nice to be surrounded by all of this greenery...right, Kirby? | ” | — Elfilin, in reference to Natural Plains |
Natural Plains is the first proper level of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, accessible after clearing the prologue: Point of Arrival. It consists of five main stages, seven Treasure Road stages, and also contains Waddle Dee Town. There are a total of 46 Waddle Dees to rescue in this level. The boss of the level is Gorimondo, who is fought in the final regular stage, The Brawl at the Mall. Natural Plains - fittingly for a first level - has a grassland theme, but also features a great deal of manmade environments, including an urban cityscape, a metropolitan construction site, and a shopping mall.
Stages[edit]
Natural Plains features five regular stages and seven Treasure Road stages. The regular stages are played and unlocked in sequence, while the Treasure Road stages have separate unlock criteria. For details on each stage individually, click the name of the stage.
