What is Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star-Crossed World?

From our review of Kirby and the Forgotten Land: "Kirby and the Forgotten Land successfully transforms the series' already engaging mix of ability-based combat, platforming, and secret hunting into a 3D experience. While the post-apocalyptic setting might not be as thematically rich as Planet Popstar, it remains vibrant and lovely, with cleverly designed levels that smartly utilize Kirby's abilities. Despite the shift to a 3D perspective, Forgotten Land retains the charm of classic Kirby games—and if this signals more 3D adventures for our beloved pink hero, I'm eager to dive in."

This Nintendo Switch 2 version not only includes the full original game with upgraded graphics but also adds the Star-Crossed World expansion. According to Nintendo, "Kirby must use his incredible abilities, including new Mouthful Modes, to navigate through unexplored territories after a powerful meteor strikes the world."
