Dream Land

"On a tiny star somewhere far, far away from earth, there is a very special place known as Dream Land."

- Introduction

Dream Land is a kingdom on Planet Popstar. Dream Land is portrayed as a peaceful little place with a large range of scenery and landscapes. The self-proclaimed ruler of Dream Land is King Dedede; a wealthy tyrant who is shown to do little or nothing for the best of his subjects or Dream Land itself. The king often causes trouble here, intentional or not (and sometimes, under the influence of mind-controlling villains like Dark Matter), and it's often up to Kirby to fix it and save Dream Land.

Almost all of Kirby's adventures take place here at one point or another.

People and Culture
Dream Land features a wide array of both landscapes and inhabitants. Dream Land's demographics indicate that the Waddle Dee species make up the majority of the area's life. Besides the Waddle Dees, many other species live and thrive in Dream Land as well. The majority of the inhabitants and citizens are peaceful and love to dream, however some of its inhabitants can be rather dangerous and violent.

Currency
There is no direct mention of any monetary system in use throughout Dream Land in the games, especially when the inhabitants are mostly self-sufficient and locate their own food using Sparkling Stars like they do in Kirby's Dream Land, and somehow all manage to find a place to stay at the end of the day. The only time where currency is hinted at is in The Great Cave Offensive, a sub-game in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra. The player's progress is measured in units of "Gold", where the maximum is 9,999,990 Gold. Finding the treasure called the "ten yen coin" (Japan version) or "dime" (American version) gives 10 Gold, so at equivalent value to 1 yen or 1 cent, Gold probably isn't worth very much at all in Dream Land, nor have much practical use from what can be deduced from the setting of the games.

D-bills


Dream Land's currency in the anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, is the D-bill. It comes in bills and coins, and both have King Dedede's insignia on them. The D-bill is central to the plot of several episodes, where King Dedede cannot get enough of it.

Overview
In terms of its locations, Dream Land has many different types of places ranging from high mountains to quiet forests, as seen below. The majority of Dream Land is actually covered in grasslands and plains, and is shown to have only a few large areas of surface water. The rest of Dream Land is made up of forests, deserts, and mountains. The Fountain of Dreams preserves peace in Dream Land and ensures it's inhabitants of a good night's sleep and sweet dreams (and dreams altogether).

In Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
Dream Land is the main setting for Kirby's anime series. It is located on a peninsula somewhere on Popstar. The climate is tropical, and so the weather is most often warm and humid, with sudden rainstorms being common. Both tropical and temperate species of plants and animals can be found there, however.

As in the games, King Dedede rules over it from his castle high atop a hill. There is only one town, Cappy Town and the main inhabitants are the Cappies, though other races are present as well, the Waddle Dees in Dedede's Castle outnumber the Cappies, there is also Kawasaki, Tiff's family, and the Kirby race (Kirby and Meta Knight).

Known Places

 * Kirby's House - A small, dome-shaped house outside of town that the people built for him. Tokkori lives there too, but normally when Kirby has evicted him from his nest to take a nap.
 * Cappy Town - The only town in Dream Land, where most of the population lives.
 * Castle Dedede - Dedede's castle on a hill near the village. It looks older than it really is.
 * Whispy Woods Forest - A dark and maze-like forest that is easy to get lost in. It is ruled by Whispy Woods.
 * Eastern Forest - The forest to the east of Whispy's. A large waterfall can be found there. It is the home of Whispy Woods' old friend Acore, as well as the Animal Friends.
 * Kabu Canyon - A series of rocky cliffs and canyons where Kabu can be found.
 * Booma-Dooma Volcano (Jp: Gilauea Volcano) - A series of three huge volcanic peaks that are still active.
 * Cats-Eye Lighthouse - A lone lighthouse by the bay. It's only ever mentioned in passing.
 * Babagahara - A wilderness made up of vast jungles, long streams of rivers, and even a dark cave where the evil Pukey Flower lurks.

In the Super Smash Bros. series
This is not to be confused with the location known as Dream Land within the games, or the other Kirby-based stages of the Super Smash Bros. series such as Fountain of Dreams, Green Greens, Battleship Halberd, or The Great Cave Offensive.

Dream Land (also called Dream Land 64) is a stage in Super Smash Bros., an unlockable Past Stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee and a Downloadable Stage in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

Super Smash Bros.
The stage was first introduced in Super Smash Bros., and is also the stage where the player must fight a group of Kirbys in Classic Mode. It is a rather simple stage, and is similar to other stages like Super Smash Bros. Melee's Battlefield and Fountain of Dreams where it has 3 platforms floating over a main one. Whispy Woods appears in the background of this stage. He will blow toward one side of the stage every so often which can cause players to fall off the edges of the stage. His wind seems a little more powerful here than it is in Green Greens, a similar stage in the next Super Smash Bros. game.

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Dream Land is also available in Super Smash Bros. Melee under the name "Past Stages: Dream Land", and is one of the three unlockable Past Stages from Super Smash Bros. It is unlocked by beating target test with every character.

Dream Land does not appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and Green Greens is instead used, serving the same purpose Dream Land served in Super Smash Bros. Melee as a past stage.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.
The classic Dream Land stage from Super Smash Bros. was released as downloadable content for both versions of the game. It's available in the Nintendo Eshop for $1.99 (One version) or $2.99 (Both versions).

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
A new Dream Land stage appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, it takes the form of Kirby's Dream Land on a Game Boy screen. The stage initially takes the appearance of Green Greens, with the borders of the screen being a Game Boy's casing. It will eventually scroll to the right and the stage's environment and music will change. The stage can be a section from Castle Lololo, Float Islands, Bubbly Clouds, or Castle Dedede.

Holding L while selecting Dream Land causes the stage to appear black and white rather than black and green.

Trivia

 * When the screen begins to scroll in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS ' s Dream Land stage, a glove appears to point the scrolling direction. This glove is the same one that wakes Kirby on the game over screen.
