In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, known in Japan as Kirby of the Stars Wii (星のカービーWii, Hoshi no Kābī Wii) and in Europe as Kirby's Adventure Wii, Kirby and his friends are back in an adventure designed to satisfy longtime Kirby fans and beginners alike. When an alien spaceship crashes in the otherwise peaceful realm of Pop Star, its pieces are scattered throughout the land. Players must guide Kirby as he retrieves the ship’s parts and helps the aliens return to their home planet. This time, however, he’s not alone. At any time, up to three more players can join in the fun and play as Meta Knight, King Dedede and Waddle Dee to help Kirby in his quest.

Problems

Long Black Shadows in OpenGL and Other Serious Issues

In OpenGL, shadows appear as tall black blobs instead of proper shadows. If on Windows, use D3D to avoid this problem. This issue was not fixed by the GLSL OpenGL rewrite in 3.5-1064. See issue 5094. A recent revision of Dolphin broke this even more so, in that now the only thing visible is the background. This problem still persists as of 4.0-9215. The only fix is to use a Direct3D backend.

Glitchy Audio

The music can slow down and become distorted or glitchy, especially when minimizing the emulation window.

Configuration

Only configuration options for the best compatibility where they deviate from defaults are listed.
