All 7 Kirby & the Forgotten Land Worlds Ranked

The worlds you explore in Kirby and the Forgotten Land are unlike any I’ve seen in a platformer. The standard themes like water, ice, and sand have been differently themed and new types of level design such as a theme park world make for a fun land to explore throughout the game. Here is my ranking of the 7 worlds in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

#7: Lab Discovera

This barely counts as a world. It’s just a level at the top of the volcano that houses Redgar Forbidden Lands. This one stage with the same name is technically its own world, but just the final level. This world features the game’s main story’s final level in which you fight its three bosses to save Elfilin. No actual “level” except running around from battlefield to battlefield. And the bosses aren’t that memorable.

#6: Everbay Coast

I’ve never liked water levels in video games. It’s not that the swimming controls are normally garbage, it’s that they just make for bad level design. Most of this world includes swimming around enemies, avoiding hazards, and finding easily-hidden secrets. The levels and treasure roads are all pretty forgettable. However, it does look very nice and tropical and has more than one stage. And Whispy Woods even returns as the boss Tropic Woods in a very memorable battle. Look, I don’t hate Everbay Coast, I just don’t like what water levels do to level structure.

#5: Originull Wasteland

Visit the desert in Originull Wasteland. This completely sandy world takes a creepy tone and mixes it into a city and mall to make them feel even more abandoned. The city seems like it has a Waddle-Dee-Town-vibe but sandy. It’s like a bigger Tosterena from Super Mario Odyssey. However, some levels have an iffy level structure and it’s not too difficult to play. The boss, Sillydillo, is somewhat hard but still not too memorable.

#4: Natural Plains

The first world in the game is a pretty great one. You walk around the grasslands of an abandoned city covered in vines that make a pleasant image, perfect difficulty for the start of the game, incredible music, a memorable boss called Gorimondo, and pleasing level design. You run through an abandoned mall filled to the brim with secrets, which was pretty cool. Natural Plains however is the game’s first world, so it’s obviously on the easier side, but that is expected.

#3: Redgar Forbidden Lands

The lava worlds in platforming games. Man, they can get pretty creative. Redgar Forbidden Lands keeps the world feeling abandoned, but throwing in falling lava balls and deadly pools around you. Enough said. While not too difficult, it is a pretty fun world to explore.

#2: Winter Horns

To me, this world looked the best in graphics. The snowy buildings look just so crisp. Those textures are outstanding. Anyway, Winter Horns is the typical snow world with a city snowed over. You explore a bridge, a town, and a metro train station. The boss is the famous King Dedede, who puts up a good fight and even steals Elfilin. This world was fun to explore, and difficulty was at a fine level.

#1: Wondaria Remains

Have a world exploring an abandoned theme park? Count me in. For someone who is a theme park fanatic and lover of rollercoasters, Wondaria Remains was a neat world. Fun level design as you run through and avoid moving rides, exploring the inside of a haunted house that reminded me of Laff Trakk at Hersheypark in Pennsylvania, and some interesting missions. While the boss Clawroline was too easy for world 3 and unmemorable, the rest of the world makes up for that.
