— Description • Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Ninja Dojo is a sub-game in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Games[]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land[]

Ninja Dojo becomes available after obtaining 15 Energy Spheres. It can be played by visiting the Lor Starcutter and going down the ladder or from the main menu. The game is separated into rounds, during which a target will appear and the player must throw a ninja star at it to obtain points; the closer to the center of the target, the more points rewarded, with an additional bonus for getting a bull's-eye (hitting the yellow innermost circle) and consecutive bull's-eyes. The player holds the Wii Remote vertically and swings it to throw a ninja star (which is always fired at the center of the screen where the reticle is). In single-player, missing the target causes the game to end; in multiplayer, as long as one player hits a target, the game continues (and if only one player hits the target, a Lone Hit bonus will be awarded). In multiplayer mode, whoever gets the most points wins. Ninja stars are color-coded to the color of the character that throws them: Kirby's is pink, Meta Knight's is purple, King Dedede's is red, Bandana Waddle Dee's is orange, and the colored Kirbys throw ninja stars of their respective colors (yellow, blue, and green)

The sub-game features unique Ninja costumes for Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Waddle Dee.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[]

Ninja Dojo appears as one of the playable sub-games in Merry Magoland. In addition to motion controls, the game additionally features button controls, where the player presses A instead of swinging a Joy-Con. The individual difficulties are now named Apprentice, Warrior, and Master; Apprentice consists of 3 rounds, Warrior consists of 5 rounds, and Master consists of 10 rounds. Magolor (also wearing a ninja costume) may appear among the targets as a further distraction, and the parasol that holds one of the targets can be Magolor-themed as well.

Ninja Dojo has eight missions:

  • The Dojo Conquest Begins: Play Ninja Dojo for the first time.
  • 3 Straight Bull's-Eyes: Get 3 consecutive bull's-eyes in a single game
  • Bandana-Based Ninja Training: Play while wearing the Bandana Waddle Dee dress-up mask.
  • A Warrior's Bull's-Eye: Hit one of Magolor's targets with a bull's-eye on Warrior difficulty.
