Plot
Based on a true story, the film takes place in a part of space far away from Planet Popstar. An officiant casts a spell to a large crystal heart, causing countless Jamba Hearts scatter as a result of a mysterious ritual. Many of them fall down to Dream Land, where they turn anyone they touch evil. When one dissolves into Kirby, however, it grants him the ability to throw hearts that befriend anyone they touch. He notices some Waddle Dees carrying a large amount of food to King Dedede's Castle, which has become surrounded by dark clouds. Kirby sets off to investigate this mysterious phenomenon. After defeating Dedede, Kirby and friends celebrate, but the celebration ends when it is revealed that a Jamba Heart is what is causing the trouble Kirby purses it, chasing it through Popstar, and removing another one from Meta Knight. When a giant fortress then lands on the surface of the planet, Kirby and friends investigate.
