Kirby's Dream Land 3 is a platformer video game starring Kirby, fifth in the Kirby series and the third game under the Kirby's Dream Land name. Although the first two games were largely unrelated, Dream Land 3 features many similar characters to Dream Land 2. Dream Land 3 was followed by Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
Dream Land’s in trouble...AGAIN! Kirby’s back for more action in the latest chapter of the Dream Land saga. This time, though, Kirby has more help than he knows what to do with. In addition to his old pals Rick the hamster, Coo the owl and Kine the fish, there are three new friends to assist Kirby (not to mention Gooey, his blobby little sidekick). With all those friends, two-player simultaneous play and many other helpful surprises, Kirby should have no trouble saving Dream Land again, right? Not if King Dedede has anything to say about it!
*Two-player simultaneous play!
*Six different animal friends!
*48 different abilities!
*Mini-games galore!
*Battery-backed memory saves three different game files
