Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble 2 is an upcoming Kirby action puzzle game for the Wii U developed by Shooting Star Studios. It is planned to be released in late 2016. It is a sequel to the 2000 Game Boy Color title Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. Being a direct sequel to said game, it brings back the “tilting” gameplay with the use of the Wii U GamePad. The game will of course have Kirby as the playable character, but it will also support amiibo, allowing players to unlock King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee by using their respective amiibo.
A mysterious wizard named Bahram arrives at Pop Star and casts a curse on Dream Land to turn it into a “rolling” entertainment for him. Because of this curse, all of Dream Land turns into a tilting land, causing most citizens to trip over and roll. Kirby is bugged by this, and decides to go after Bahram in order to restore Dream Land's original form.
More coming soon.
Gameplay[]
The game will use the Wii U GamePad's accelerometers and tilt sensor, allowing the player to “roll” Kirby around by tilting the GamePad. The game will make use of both the TV screen and the GamePad screen. The map shown in the TV and the one shown in the GamePad will be different, and at certain points Kirby will have to switch between maps so he can progress. For example, the map shown in the TV screen is a cloud level and the one shown in the GamePad is a sky castle. If Kirby is in the sky castle and finds a trampoline, it will send Kirby high in the sky to the TV screen where the clouds are.
Point Stars will be scattered all around levels for Kirby to collect, and he will have to find the Red, Green and Blue Stars in each level in order to clear them. Certain levels (mostly the last ones in each world map) will feature a different boss that Kirby has to defeat so he can go to the next world map. Several enemies will appear in levels, and to defeat most of them Kirby will have to hop on them or dash at them. To hop around, the player will have to press the button, and to dash, the button. A dash can also be charged by holding the button to make it more effective against stronger enemies.
However, there are enemies that cannot be defeated with a simple hop or dash, and require something else in order to be defeated. As an addition to a Tilt 'n' Tumble installment, Kirby can now use some Copy Abilities in this game to defeat special enemies. However, to do so, he will have to find Copy Ability pedestals as he lacks the inhale ability in this game. Gaining a copy ability will replace the hop and dash with different attacks. For example, if Kirby becomes Fire Kirby, the hop ability will be Kirby getting encased in fire for a few seconds, and the dash will be a fiery version. Copy abilities are also needed to get past certain obstacles, such as ice blocks (melted by Fire Kirby) or lava pits (traversable by Ice Kirby's dash).

Boss/es
Description
Level 1
Trampoline Treeway
5
Whimsy Woods
A vast forest where drum-like wooden formations appear out of trees. The main gimmick in this level's stages is the usage of the trampolines in order to progress. As a first level, it's very basic.
Level 2
Unnatural Utopia
6
Mayor Mechamaniac
A floating utopia where nature is nonexistent. Rather than having natural plants and trees, they all are artificial, including flowers. Technologically, it's a very advanced area, where virtual transportation via tech pipes is the main gimmick.
Level 3
Melon Marshes
6
Hydrawa
After the unnatural second level, Kirby is back to the wonderful nature of Dream Land. Melon Marshes features both grassy and water stages, in a combination of beautiful flowers and underwater zones for Kirby to roll and swim around.
Level 4
Blueberry Bazaar
7
Roll-o-Rockie
A level consisting of several street lined markets of lots of fruits, but its main theme is the blueberry. It's very maze-ish, so several alternate paths can be found throughout. Townsfolk and market owners seem to be afraid of rolling away from their places, so they hide behind to also protect themselves from enemies. Kirby will have to deal with this stuff alone, unfortunately.
Level 5
Lilac Landfrost
8
Frozenix
A snowy and icy level, where snow landscapes can be appreciated in their full glory. It's eternally snowing in the Lilac Landfrost territory, so Kirby will have to deal with rolling on those freezing grounds. Brrr, what a shame! Also, beware those water areas, water is too cold to even get in!
Level 6
Eastern Everhill
8
Momohime
A chinese & japanese-oriented land, with pagodas, sakura trees, shrines and many other eastern-like environments. Kirby can get inside of temples and big houses where he will be put to heavy thinking in his movements. This level has many secrets and eastern (get it?) eggs, so make sure to take a good luck.
