Kirby's Dream Land 3, known as Hoshi no Kirby 3 (星のカービィ3, Hoshi no Kābī Surī?, lit. "Kirby of the Stars 3") in Japan, is the fifth platformer video game starring Kirby. Specifically, it is the third game under the Kirby's Dream Land name. Although the first two games were largely unrelated, Dream Land 3 features many similar characters to Dream Land 2. Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards was the sequel to this game.
Kirby's Dream Land 3 is the last first party game released for the Super NES in North America, although it is not the final game for the system (the 1998 Super NES version of Frogger would be the final game in North America, while the 2000 Super Famicom remake of Metal Slader Glory was the final game in Japan). Problems with the game's PAL conversion prevented it from being released in Europe and Australia for many years; it was finally released in those regions in the form of an import from North America on July 24, 2009. The game was re-released on the Virtual Console in North America on January 5, 2009 and in Japan on April 28, 2009. It was also included along with 5 other Kirby games in the Wii collection for Kirby's 20th anniversary, Kirby's Dream Collection.

Famous quotes containing the words kirby, dream and/or land:
“Well, on the official record you’re my son. But on this post you’re just another trooper. You heard me tell the recruits what I need from them. Twice that I will expect from you.... You’ve chosen my way of life. I hope you have the guts enough to endure it. But put outa your mind any romantic ideas that it’s a way to glory. It’s a life of suffering and of hardship and uncompromising devotion to your oath and your duty.”
—James Kevin McGuinness, and John Ford. Lt. Col. Kirby Yorke (John Wayne)
“From the age of fifteen, dogma has been the fundamental principle of my religion: I know no other religion; I cannot enter into the idea of any other sort of religion; religion, as a mere sentiment, is to me a dream and a mockery.”
—Cardinal John Henry Newman (1801–1890)
“The land of shadows wilt thou trace
And look nor know each other’s face
The present mixed with reasons gone
And past and present all as one
Say maiden can thy life be led
To join the living with the dead
Then trace thy footsteps on with me
We’re wed to one eternity”
—John Clare (1793–1864)
