Content
The disc includes six Kirby titles:
The disc also features new challenge stages based on those found in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Additionally, the game includes a museum section, which spotlights every title in the Kirby series as of 2012, and includes three viewable episodes from the anime Kirby: Right Back at Ya! ("Kirby Comes to Cappy Town", "Crusade for the Blade", and "Waddle While You Work").
All games included in the collection have been calibrated for use with the Wii Remote turned horizontally. GameCube Controller and Classic Controller are also supported. The game supports up to four players depending on which game is chosen. Like the other four games (Kirby's Adventure, Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards) in the collection, the Game Boy games (Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Dream Land 2) are treated as "Virtual Console" titles, complete with the "suspending play" and manual features despite Game Boy titles never being released on the service via the Wii Shop Channel as they were being released on the Nintendo 3DS via the Nintendo eShop at the time of the game's release. All six games have also been released separately on the Virtual Console via the Wii Shop Channel, 3DS eShop, and Wii U eShop.
