Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Every Copy Ability Blueprint Location

There are tons of Copy Ability Blueprints to collect in Kirby and the Forgotten Land and collecting them all is required for players looking to upgrade Kirby's gear. In this gorgeous 3D adventure, Kirby is transported to an abandoned and mysterious world. The local Waddle Dees are being captured and locked up in cages and it's up to Kirby to save them. Throughout the stages, the Waddle Dee can be found hidden in secret corners or as a reward for defeating bosses. They are needed in order to expand Waddle Dee Town.

After completing the Brawl at the Mall, players will now have access to the Waddle Dee Weapon Shop in Waddle Dee Town. This town acts as the main hub location in between levels where Kiry can purchase items or participate in a variety of mini-games. If players hand in one of the Copy Ability Blueprints, the shop can then upgrade current Copy Abilities to make them stronger and more versatile. The player will also need to find Rare Stones to evolve these Copy Abilities to their more powerful versions. Although, the Copy Ability Blueprints will need to be found first and they are scattered around the game, hidden in a few levels.
