Gameplay

Kirby's Dream Buffet is a multiplayer game where four ball-shaped Kirbys roll through food-themed courses and compete to collect the most strawberries. Players can defeat enemies and use special abilities on the stage to attack each other and collect bonuses. The game can be played both locally and online with both random matching and private lobbies.

There are 3 types of rounds, each with several different stages:

• Race: The stage is laid out like a race track. The first players to reach the goal are granted extra strawberries.
• Minigame: Mixed events where players gain strawberries by following the instructions given. The stage is typically small with defining features related to the goal given to the players.
• Battle Royale: Similar to Minigame rounds, the stage is small and features many objects and hills close together. Abilities and strawberries drop onto the stage over time, and players can steal others' strawberries by knocking them off the stage.

In the Grand Prix mode, players play a Race, a Minigame, another Race, and then a Battle Royale. Afterwards, bonuses are given out depending on random statistical conditions. The player with the highest strawberry count wins the game.

After completing individual rounds or a Grand Prix, players are awarded points to raise their 'Gourmet Rank.' Playing online gives a boost to the points gained. Each time the player's rank increases, they unlock a new costume, color, stage, or music track that can be used for customization. They can also unlock 'Character Treats', a cookie based on a character from the Kirby series which can be displayed on a cake in Kirby's 'Home Table'.
