''Kirby's Dream Land'' followed the established ''Kirby'' formula from past platforming adventures. Kirby runs, jump, floats through the air, and inhales enemies to copy their abilities while navigating through levels and taking on enemies. This game features the return of Kirby's animal friends from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' ([[Rick]], [[Coo]] and [[Kine]]) and adds some new ones ([[Nago]], [[ChuChu (Kirby)|ChuChu]] and [[Pitch]]). As in the previous game, Kirby can ride these animals which each have special properties that can be useful in navigating certain environments and solving some puzzles. Kirby's abilities also have different variations when used with an animal buddy.

One new feature revolves around [[Gooey]], who only made a minor appearance in ''Dream Land 2''. By pressing the A button, Gooey can be produced as a second character who can be controlled by a CPU or a second player, similar to the partner characters from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. Gooey has the same abilities as Kirby (aside from using his tongue instead of inhaling enemies). Each level also a has a [[Heart Star]], which is unlocked by completing a certain task in the level. The Heart Stars are needed to unlock the game's final boss.
+
Kirby's animal friends return in this game and are expanded. Most of the animal friends give Kirby a ride. The exception is [[Gooey]]. Gooey has the same abilities Kirby has and can be controlled by a second player.
