Nintendo has announced a free demo is now available for upcoming adventure Kirby and the Forgotten Land.

The demo is available via the Nintendo eShop right now, and allows you to explore the Natural Plains area. You’ll get to explore, try out some of pink puffball’s new copy abilities and even take on Gorimondo. If that wasn’t enough, you can also play through the demo with another player, presuming you both have a Nintendo Switch Online subscription.

Alongside the demo, Nintendo has also dropped a new Overview trailer for the game. In case you’ve not been keeping up, one of Kirby’s newest abilities is the Mouthful mode. You’ll be able to use Kirby’s impressive lung capacity to swallow larger items in the world and take on their properties. For example, swallowing a car lets you drive around, or even a gallon of water to become a giant water-balloon.

The trailer also confirms that the game will support Amiibo. Scanning any of the Nintendo toys will net you some handy items in the game, and you’ll get even better stuff if those Amiibo happen to be of Kirby and his friends. You can check out the trailer for yourself down below.

The Kirby and the Forgotten Land demo is available to download via the Nintendo eShop right now. The full game, meanwhile, arrives on March 25, exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
