Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star Crossed World has officially released for the Nintendo Switch 2 and it introduces what looks to be a new iconic character. Astronomer Waddle Dee is introduced at the opening cutscene of Star Crossed World, essentially setting the tone of what the DLC will entail.
Players might be wondering, though, who exactly this character is, what makes him different from other Waddle Dees, and what his purpose is.
Who is Astronomer Waddle Dee?
After being introduced to him, Astronomer Waddle Dee will be in Waddle Dee Town, where you can exchange Starry Coins with him for different figurines. These figurines are unlocked through the Gotcha Machine. As you progress through Star Crossed World, he’ll have a volume 2 of the Gotcha Machine.
The Starry Coins are earned only through the Star Crossed World levels, and Atronomer Waddle Dee usually charges around 150 coins to 250 coins.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land + Star Crossed World Switch 2 Edition is $80, but if you owned the game on Switch 1, there is a $20 upgrade back. The new DLC is around 5 to 7 hours long.
