Kirby and the Forgotten Land Game Length

Kirby and the Forgotten Land - Game Length

Kirby and the Forgotten Land's main story is around 8-10 hours long. This new game in the series will take more time to complete as new and old elements are mixed, such as new Copy Abilities and their evolved variants, for example, compared to the past Kirby titles.

For a completionist who wants to collect and finish everything in the game, you can expect to end around 20-25 hours to 100% it.

8 ~ 10 Hours for the Main Story

Kirby and the Forgotten Land -  10 Hours for the Main Story

You will only need a maximum of 10 hours to get to the end of the main story and get the credits rolling. Even playing on Wild Mode shouldn't increase that number by much, as the stage aren't that difficult to beat. However, you will need to grind for some missions, as some bosses require a certain number of Waddle Dees rescued.

Enemies will be more formidable and harder to kill, but even so, completing all the stages would only take you about 1 to 2 hours. Getting all collectibles found there will take more time, however.

2 ~ 3 Hours for Treasure Road Challenges

Treasure Road Challenges are time-trial challenges that also add up to the 100% completion of the game. To clear them, you have to reach the end of the stage within the target time. It would take most players 3 hours at max to clear all of them.

All of the Stages have 5 missions, and most of them are hidden and hard to find. Doing them would take more of your time if you missed them on the stage, as you will have to replay the stages to find them. A maximum of 5 hours should complete all of them.

2 ~ 3 Hours for Waddle Dee Town Activities

Colosseum

Most of the activities in Waddle Dee Town are pretty easy to beat and complete, so it shouldn't take you that much time to finish them. The most challenging activity in the town is finishing the challenges in the Colosseum.

2 Hours for the Collectibles

Collectibles are a very big thing in the Kirby series, and Forgotten Land is no exception. In addition to clearing the story, getting all the collectibles will add on some extra time.

It should only take a couple of hours and reruns to complete all the Copy and Evolved Abilities. The real challenge comes when getting all the Figures in the game. You'll have to have a stroke of good luck, great wealth, and skill for the most part to get the missing ones, and it would take you countless reruns just for that.

20 ~ 25 Hours for 100% Completion

Kirby and the Forgotten Land - 100% Completion

For full completion, it might take you at least 20 hours to 100% the game. It includes finishing the Main Story, completing all the Missions, unlocking all Copy Abilities and Evolved Abilities, finishing the Minigames, clearing all the Cups in the Colosseum, clearing all Treasure Road Challenges, finishing the Hidden Stages, and collecting all the Figures.

The game's combat system is relatively easy, so pushing through each stage and clearing combat-based objectives is a piece of cake. The real challenge when 100%-ing this game is collecting all of the items, finding secrets hidden in stages, and clearing time-trial challenges.
