An Area Patch is an item in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Epic Yarn.

Overview[]

Area Patches can be obtained by completing a level and can only be used in their corresponding level (for example, an Area Patch obtained in Grass Land can only be used in Grass Land). These will cause something to happen on the overworld and will unlock new areas to explore and stages to complete.
