A wintry stage that's covered in ice and snow.
— Official European Kirby's Return to Dream Land website

White Wafers is the fourth level in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.

General Information[]

White Wafers is a snow-themed world, with levels featuring blankets of snow and slippery ice platforms. Huge cryovolcanoes tower over the horizon - possibly the cause of the wintery landscape, as well as numerous geysers that expel a Mopoo every so often and frozen caverns that burrow deep underground. Ice-bearing enemies, such as Snowls and Chillys, and Fire-bearing enemies, such as Galbos are especially common amongst the levels. The world introduces Ice Blocks and Fire Blocks, which can only be destroyed by using specific abilities. Kirby can use Super Abilities to clear the way in some stages, revealing dimensional rifts.

White Wafers contains six stages. The mid-boss of the first stage is Gigant Edge, the mid-bosses of the second stage are Super Bonkers and Spark Sphere Doomer, the mid-boss of the third stage is Water Galboros, and the mid-boss of the fourth stage is Spark Sphere Doomer. The boss of White Wafers is Goriath, who guards the Emblem of the Lor Starcutter.

  • One of the tunes in Stage 5 was reused as the music for the Overload Ocean - Stage 7 in Kirby: Planet Robobot.
  • The music that plays in Stage 1 is in many ways similar to the music in Shiver Star from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
