You can also take part in an up to four-player local play mode, although that requires separate Switch consoles and copies of the game to jump into. In terms of modes, you’ve got Gourmet Grand Prix, Single Races, Single Minigames, Single Battle Royale, and a free-rolling practice arena to play around with and all of these can be enjoyed in single player against three bots, two-player split-screen with one other pal sharing your Switch’s Joy-Cons, in four-player online ranked mode with three random opponents, or with friends in a password match.

The whole thing looks and sounds fantastic too, with colourful visuals, detailed courses, and the usual triumphant orchestral Kirby music to accompany the roly-poly action. It’s easy to understand, a breeze to get to grips with, and really comes alive when you jump online or play with a real-life friend in split-screen.

Kirby’s Dream Buffet is super fun and frantic stuff. Things kick off with a race down one of several different tracks, gobbling up strawberries as you go, then you’ll take part in a minigame that charges you with barrelling around a small arena attempting to eat more strawberries.

But that’s not all! In order to spice things up a little more, the game’s main mode, Gourmet Grand Prix, sees the action sliced into four delicious stages. There are currently eight of these in total, allowing you to slam your rivals with a stone attack, ingest a hot pepper to go blazing off on a fiery turbo boost that incinerates anyone in your path, initiate an ice-cream tornado, turn into a speeding doughnut wheel, and even drill under the surface of cakey courses to avoid all incoming obstacles. To make things even tastier, as you careen down courses you’ll bust open Mario Kart-style item boxes containing copy abilities. Kirby’s Dream Buffet Free Download Repacklab
