We open to a planet shaped like a star, where creatures of many shapes are found. Welcome to Dreamland on the fantastic planet of Popstar.
This planet may seem peaceful at first, but it is constantly under attack by dark forces. And on occasion has an embarrassing example set by the so-called "king" of dreamland, King Dedede. But it's not all bad. All this planet needs is a hero. One that doesn't just have heart, but a stomach to match. This hero has but only a simple name: Kirby.
One day, as this Star Child was doing his regular activities, and went to bed, a familiar horned Kaima Yo-kai and his minions appeared on the surface.
"I know Classic is here. Senses don't lie. Search everywhere. We don't leave until Tsuchigumo is ours!" Yakkai shouted as his minions spread out.
As one Kai servant was searching the ground near Kirby's house, the ground shook. All of a sudden at that moment, a huge vine sprung up out of the ground. It grew, and grew, higher and higher up into the clouds above.
"I see. Classic must be up there." said the servant. It was the appearance of a small child holding a butterfly net. He then began climbing the vine in order to follow. Yakkai soon took notice of this.
"Vine from nowhere? I see. Like beanstalk. Climb vine!" Yakkai said as he and his minions began climbing up the growing vine.
The next morning, Kirby awoke, but was surprised to see his house almost above the ground itself. Then, an spider like creature floated down and went to another captive building, King Dedede's castle. Kirby followed and saw it approaching his "nemesis".
"Queen Sectonia requests your presence immediately, your majesty." the spider creature said to the king and his goons.
"Wh-what does she want with me? Who are you?" the king asked completely baffled.
'Your eternal servitude. And the name...is Taranza!" the spider creature said unleashing an electrical attack, taking out most of the guards as the rest ran and hid.
Taranza grabbed King Dedede and stunned him in a prisim of light and went out of the castle going higher up the vine. Kirby was confused, but he knew what he had to do. As usual, it was up to him to save Dedede and bring peace to Dreamland once more.
Meanwhile, another creature sensed both conflicts at the top of the vine.
"The Kaima are coming for me, I knew it! But, I must remain hidden." it said. The creature wore a kimono and had six spider like legs styled in his hair as he wore face paint. "After all, a ninja like myself will not be caught." he said before vanishing.
