Summary

The plot tells of Kirby’s journey through a strange new world. After getting transported through a strange portal to another dimension Kirby wakes up and starts his travels through this strange world. He finds a new friend in Elfilis and together they take on the Beast pack to save the captured Waddle Dee’s. Can Kirby save the day and figure why the Beast Pack is doing their dastardly deeds.

Colosseum
World record runs require "passable" video quality. This will be judged on a case by case basis as it is hard to set hardline rules for all variables in video, but good rules to keep in mind to ensure verification are:
- Full, unedited video; combining switch clips is not acceptable. Combining clips makes runs difficult to verify since the In-Game-Timer is hidden during the final fight.
- In-game audio is required/preferred, and other audio elements are fine
- Full capture of the game's screen, without cropping mistakes
- Overlays such as webcam are allowed, but please avoid covering the in-game timer or HUD elements
- Excessive frame drops may cause the run to be invalidated
- Recording using a phone or webcam is acceptable; here's an example of acceptable webcam proof: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1447745216
All other runs require at least image proof; here's an example of image proof: 
Amiibo are banned
Using Out of Bounds for a glitched Meta Knight Cup Time is banned
Buffs means you're using items bought from Item-Shop Waddle Dee such as Life Up, Attack Boost, and Speed Boost, or using Deep Sleep to acquire these buffs. If a run begins without buffs and then uses Deep Sleep's full duration, it will be counted as a run with buffs.
No Buffs means you're using none of these at any point in the run.
Co-op
The rules for the Co-op categories are identical to their 1P counterpart with the exception that 2P(2 Players 2 Controllers) Is allowed.

Glitches
Main Page Glitches Kirby And The Forgotten Land is a really well-built game, but under the surface it's a game filled to the brim with glitches. A fair amount of glitches are used in speedruns for this game(primarily Hammer Super Jumps) and there is also a lot of smaller, but still interesting glitches for you to look at.
