  • Brand-New Starry Stages: The mysterious power of the meteor changes the world in all sorts of ways, and areas that were once familiar transform into new Starry Stages. Climb buildings, explore the sea bed, create new paths out of thin air and more. Due to the meteor’s impact, players can discover all sorts of places that they couldn’t reach before.

Players can always tackle the new Starry Stages with a friend by their side.

Bounce up high to reach new places with Spring Mouth, climb vertical walls with ease with Gear Mouth and slide, spin and jump down slopes with Sign Mouth.
  • New Activities: Head to the Colosseum and take on the most challenging tournament yet, battling the biggest and baddest bosses in quick succession in The Ultimate Cup Z EX. And talk to Astronomer Waddle Dee in the middle of town and spend Starry Coins found in Starry Stages at the Gotcha Machine EX to collect all sorts of new figures.
