Kirby's Return to Dream Land (known as Kirby's Adventure Wii in Europe and Australia, and originally known under its working title Kirby Wii) is a main-series Kirby game released for the Wii in late 2011 internationally and September 2012 in South Korea. As its North American title suggests, it was the first main-series title to be released on a home console since Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards was released in 2000, and would remain the latest title to have that distinction until the release of Kirby Star Allies in 2018. Much of this game is derived from the leftover work done on the canceled game Kirby for Nintendo GameCube.
Like most other mainline Kirby titles, Kirby's Return to Dream Land has Kirby traverse several different levels, each with four or more stages, while obtaining and utilizing copy abilities and battling enemies, mid-bosses, and bosses. However, several new gameplay features have been added; notably the addition of four-player co-operative play (allowing additional players to join in at any time using King Dedede, Meta Knight, or Bandana Waddle Dee), four all-new standard copy abilities, and a set of special Super Abilities which are powered-up versions of familiar ones, used at specific points in stages. Kirby's Return to Dream Land takes a lot of inspiration from Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, particularly when it comes to combat, though the level and stage structure more closely resembles Kirby's Adventure. Kirby's Return to Dream Land also makes use of full 3D graphics, though only for visual purposes, as the game proper is still played in two dimensions.
In 2015, Kirby's Return to Dream Land was released as a digital download for the Wii U. A remake of the game, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, was released on February 24th, 2023 for the Nintendo Switch.

- ...Kirby's Dream Land was originally meant to be self-published by HAL Laboratory with no Nintendo involvement?
- ...Kirby has a distinct hat for the Crash ability in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! which is never seen in the games?
- ...the Japanese name of "Having Watched You All Along" is taken from a line spoken by Kirby in early advertising material for Twinkle☆Popo?
- ...the Kirby's Dream Land 3 enemy Keke can be found in the background in some Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards stages, and also appears as an Enemy Info Card?
- ...the initial version of "The World of Drawcia" was so unusual that game testers reported it as a bug?
