The robobot armor will allow Kirby to smash obstacles and repel the invaders that want to turn dreamland into a dystopic mechanized world. Depending on the enemy’s armor Kirby will be able to shoot, destroy, and cut what obstacle comes in its way.

Nintendo direct announced a new game mode in the Kirby Robobot, called Team Kirby Clash. It allows up to four players, joining forces to battle the Robobots invaders. The player will be able to select 4 roles to participate in the battle against the enemies. The key to victory in Team Kirby Clash is supporting each roles ability and joining forces together to fight the giant robots. While playing in this game mode, Kirby’s will collect tablets. If the player collects all tablets, the team will be able to activate a powerful team meteor and inflict major damage on the contenders.

For the first time in a Kirby game, as the player wins battles and smashes opponents. Kirby will gain experience points and it will be able to escalate levels, meaning the abilities will become more powerful for each experience point, and take more difficult quests. Team Kirby Clash is also available for download play, allowing people to play with friends that haven’t acquired the game yet.

Kirby Planet Robobot is compatible with amiibo figures, Nintendo’s character figures that work through a scan attached to the device. So Kirby can also copy whichever amiibo figure the player owns.

Nintendo also announced a new line of Kirby amiibo. Including Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee. That will give Kirby new copy abilities and costumes representing each one of these amiibos, in fact by scanning the Kirby amiibo it will grant Kirby an ability only available in these game, The UFO Kirby.
