Surfing the star isn’t as easy as it seems, and despite its vivid, welcoming colours, Kirby and the Forgotten Land blueprints are super important when facing these fresh challenges. Upon diving into our favourite pink puffball’s first 3D adventure, you come across plenty of fearsome foes to fight and troublesome traps to traverse. Luckily, Kirby isn’t one to take these challenges lying down – instead, he sucks them up (literally) and adapts to any situation he’s in.
Along with a variety of awesome copy abilities, there’s a heap of handy Kirby and the Forgotten Land blueprints floating around. Taking these to the Waddle Dee Weapons Shop allows you to upgrade Kirby’s powers with exciting evolutions – who wants one hammer when you can have two? Of course, you have to find these little suckers first, which is why, in addition to going through what each of the blueprints do, we’ve pointed out all the Kirby and the Forgotten Land blueprint locations, so you can soup up your superpowers in no time.

We also have a list of all active Kirby and the Forgotten Land codes, so you can snag some fun freebies for your little pink pal.
How do I use my Kirby and the Forgotten Land blueprints?
Blueprints are used to upgrade your Kirby and the Forgotten Land copy abilities. After you find a blueprint, all you need to do is head back to Waddle Dee Weapons Shop in Waddle Dee Town. Once you’ve handed your blueprint over to the Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee, simply approach the mannequin wearing the base version of the copy ability to evolve it.
Each evolution costs a certain amount of star coins and rare gems – be sure to check out our Kirby and the Forgotten Land rare gems and Kirby and the Forgotten Land Treasure Road guides to find out how to get these.

Location: Wondaria Remains – Welcome To Wondaria. Use Kirby’s Water-Balloon Mouth Mode to make eight wilted flowers bloom in order to get this blueprint.
The first four are right next to the first water pipe you use to transform into Water-Balloon Mouth Kirby – simply spray them to help them grow. Then, just ahead, there are three more wilted flowers needing a sprinkling. The last is hidden in a secret area near these two. To access this, spray the mud to the right of the ladder just ahead. This reveals a drop-down that leads to the secret path, where the wilted flower is hidden in an alcove – water it to get your blueprint.

It’s time for Kirby to enter the Matrix! Pause time temporarily to bypass enemies, surrounding Kirby in a shield that damages your foes on contact. Time Crash is super powerful, but it’s a one-use ability – so remember, it’s all about timing (literally).
Location: Wondaria Remains – Invasion at the House of Horrors. Near the end of the stage, and after being ambushed by ghosties, there’s a hidden path in a tunnel on the side of the level. Float down and run through to find this blueprint.

It’s disco inferno time. Burn, baby, burn through enemies with a far-reaching flamethrower, glide through the air on awesome, pink and purple wings, and leave fireballs in your wake.
Location: Winter Horns – Windy, Freezing Seas. When walking down the narrow pathway full of constantly-firing cannons, keep an eye out for a frozen scissor lift. Use a fire copy ability to break it out of its icy prison, roll to the right (being careful of rogue cannonballs!), and change its height to hop up onto the platform and get the treasure chest containing the blueprint.
Frosty Ice Blueprint

Location: Originull Wasteland – Searching the Oasis. As you’re hopping around the platforms dotted with patches of purple poison, keep an eye out for a conspicuous platform that has a circle of poison around it. Turn right and jump up to find a treasure chest hidden behind a broken stone rail – it has the blueprint inside.
Wild Hammer Blueprint
Power: 4.5

Use your giant hammer to smack enemies about, then launch them into the air with a charged attack. Whee!
Location: Originull Wasteland – Alivel Mall (Staff Side). Find this one in a treasure chest in a secret room after defeating the mini-boss, Wild Bonkers, and grabbing the hidden Waddle Dee. There are two star pins that you need to smack to open a yellow cage near the star door to get to the chest and a bunch of snacks.
Twin Drill Blueprint
Power: 4
Rapid-Fire: 2
Evolved from: Drill copy ability
Copied from: Digguh
Upgrade cost: 800 star coins, three rare stones
Unsheathe a powerful saw blade that damages enemies as you dig, then launch drills as you burst out of the ground – the best (or, for your enemies, worst) kind of surprise.
Location: Originull Wasteland – Moonlight Canyon. Towards the end of the platforming section, where you’re bombarded with falling blocks and moles, to the left of the exit, there’s a barrel. Break the barrel to get the blueprint.
Blizzard Ice Blueprint

Ground Control to Major Kirby. Zip-around in your state-of-the-art spacesuit, shooting lasers at enemies. Hold the attack button to charge up your laser, then unleash powerful beams that generate electric fields.
Location: Edgar Forbidden Lands – Conquer the Inferno Road. You need to be a little strategic to snag this one. When you take the form of Ring Mouth Kirby towards the end of the stage, make sure you have the Ranger or Noble Ranger copy ability equipped before you jump down into the boat.
Then, head towards the end of the stage. Before collecting the golden cage of Waddle Dees, use your gun to shoot the floating target to the right of the platform to snag yourself the blueprint.
Deep Sleep Blueprint
Power: 0
Rapid-Fire: 0
Evolved from: Sleep copy ability
Copied from: Noddy
Upgrade cost: 1,200 star coins, three rare stones
Everyone needs a spot of beauty sleep now and then, even Kirby. Slip into your cosy clothes and hop into your comfy bed to take a quick nap, regenerating health and gaining power-ups as you do. Unlike the Sleep copy ability, you can summon your bed at any time by using the attack button.
Kirby sleeps for around ten seconds, and can fully recover his health in this time, as well as netting himself either an attack or speed boost for 200 seconds. Keep in mind, Deep Sleep is single-use, and you are vulnerable to attacks as you snooze, so be careful where you drift off.
Location: Edgar Forbidden Lands – Burning, Churning Power Plant. Before leaving the first area through the star door, walk towards the camera to find a lantern. Light it with one of the fire copy abilities, spawning a path of coins and causing the crushing platform to move. Follow the trail of coins to the top of the crushing machine on the right, then float to the crushing machine on the left to find a hidden path and grab the blueprint.
Storm Tornado Blueprint
Power: 4
Rapid-Fire: 2
Evolved from: Tornado copy ability
Copied from: Twister, Fleurina
Upgrade cost: 800 star coins, three rare stones
There’s a storm coming. Surround Kirby in violent winds, unleashing electrifying lightning bolts. Float over obstacles as you deal damage to any enemies and obstacles in your path, tossing them around in the process.
Location: Edgar Forbidden Lands – Gathering of the Beast Council. After you defeat mini-boss Clawroline, you get to a roller coaster. We know you can’t wait to mouthful mode that sucker (the roller coaster sections are just too fun, right?), but hold your horses. First, head to the right of the platform and drop down to find a secret alcove where the blueprint is stashed away.
Now we head into spoiler territory. The rest of this list features blueprints you can only get during or after post-game content. So, if you want to keep yourself spoiler-free, don’t scroll on.
Still here? Okay, let’s wrap this up with the last two Kirby and the Forgotten Land blueprints.
Masked Hammer Blueprint
Power: 4.5
Rapid-Fire: 4.5
Evolved from: Hammer copy ability
Copied from: Mookie, Wild Bonkers
Upgrade cost: 1,200 star coins, five rare stones
If dual-wielding guns or bonking enemies with one hammer wasn’t enough for you, you can now combine both, harnessing the power of two giant hammers. Use them simultaneously to dish out heaps of damage and even create vortexes, or hold down the attack button to charge your hammers and unleash a fiery, spinning attack. Kirbs is now the king of Wild Bonkers.
Location: Waddle Dee Town. Speak to King Dedede to the left of the Colosseum after completing Lab Discovera and watching the credits roll.
Morpho Knight Sword blueprint
Power: 5
Rapid-Fire: 5
Evolved from: Sword copy ability
Copied from: Blade Knight, Wild Edge
Upgrade cost: 1,500 star coins, five rare stones
Not only does Kirby look cool as heck in this form, he can also take out enemies with super powerful sword slashes and combos. Plus, you can hold the attack button to charge your sword up, increasing its size as you do. Bigger isn’t always better, but in this case, it certainly helps.
Location: You get this blueprint by completing all of the post-game content, including the Forgo Dreams stage of Forgo Land. You need to go through three, back-to-back boss battles here, so make sure you come prepared. Finally, after defeating the final boss Morpho Knight, you get the blueprint for the Morpho Knight Sword.
And that’s it for our Kirby and the Forgotten Land blueprints guide. Now that you’re a true, super-charged star surfer, you’re just about ready to take on the world, so go ahead and test out your new, platforming power, with our list of the best Switch platformers.
