NX Kirby Studio
A downloadable tool for Windows
(LAST UPDATE: 7:27 PM EST 7/15/25)
IF YOU HAVE ANY ISSUES PLEASE TRY THE LATEST VERSION FIRST OR REFER TO BUGFIXES
THIS IS A MODDING TOOL THAT DEAL WITH THE FILES DIRECTLY, IN ORDER YOU PLAY YOU NEED TO BE ABLE TO MODIFY YOUR GAME FILES.
A level editor for Nintendo Switch Kirby games, this is made for modding as such you will need to obtain the files. I will not explain how to here, find them on your own. In order to load these files into whichever specific game you will also need a tutorial for that, of which I might link in the future.
Press the top left '?' in button to check controls, tutorials coming soon, please report any errors to the developer, this project was made by one person so bugtesting is a bit difficult.
Put the files in the "Object Data" zip in the "Resources" folder in the directory the .exe file is in to have objects load properly for supported games
Current roadmap is just bug fixes and giving more objects visuals, and a few extra features there are no plans to add any other Kirby games, please do not ask.
Github: To be Added

Install instructions
Download the program.exe file, then put the files from the Object Data zip in the resources folder.

Decor is unveiwable for KFD KTD and KPR
Hello!
Thank you for updating this amazing project!
I have a question. Is it a feature that the app freezes when I edit Kame Noddy?
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but please check.
It should not be, can you go into a bit more detail as to the process that makes it freeze?
I know there is a way being looked to add preview for decorations on the editor, but when that's ready, could you post an announcement on youtube or Twitter? I think it's a very important addition, and I'd love to be able to know when it's ready
Sure thing!
how do I mod a level into the game after I've made it
also once I do that how do I even test it in the game
depending on the game you'll have to find a tutorial online i cant help you here
Is there a way to make a Shooting (landia) level in Return to Dream Land Deluxe? changing the map type to Shooting and the "Shooting" Gimmick object didn't work lol (Edit: I will use Another Dimension Step.bin for now as temporary fix lol)
Unfortunately the auto scroll stuff is more or less hard coded to only work on that step :(
Oh, well that is alright, thanks very much for reply, I think I can figure it out lol
It seems like deleting the flight tutorial sign in RTDL Wii 1-1's first room causes the program to crash
If you mean in editor I am not having that issue, please try the latest version if you haven't. If you're referring to in game I wouldn't be sure as to why.
How do you start this and use it
Refer to the other posts in the comments section please
i cant see the decorations theyre only numbers
Yes that's intentional for now, a way is being looked into to add the visuals but for the moment you'll have to refrence in game as to how they look visually
alright
How do you start the level?
You'll have to load your modified level into whichever game via modding
Decorations dont save for Kirby Fighters Deluxe.
FIXED! Thank you for informing me of this!
How do I test my levels? I tried opening the file but that does not work either
You have to test them by modding the level file into whichever game
Like on a rom of the game?
Yes
I see, thank you
what game is needed and where can I get one
