A Gotcha Capsule is an item in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. They can be collected from the capsule machines in Waddle Dee Town by paying Star Coins or found within levels. Within Gotcha Capsules are figurines, small, randomized collectibles that are marked with their rarity stars on the green stand. Figurines marked with three stars or more contain descriptions of what's in focus, while those with two stars or less do not. Figurines can be displayed on top of the fireplace in Kirby's House in Waddle Dee Town.

Figurines that are three stars or higher also have additional text, and certain figurines can only be obtained after meeting specific objectives in Waddle Dee Town.

Series and Volumes

Figurines belong in multiple sets, with each one representing relevant elements from their respective world's areas and characters. Volumes have a representative color shown in their Gotcha Capsule machines, as well as the bottom of the capsule itself. Volume 1 is available by default. Volume 2 is available after beating Wondaria Remains. Volume 3 is available after beating Originull Wasteland, and Volume 4 is available after the main story is cleared. Certain figures in Volumes 1 and 4 have special criteria to unlock, such as doing activities in Waddle Dee Town, completing post-credits content, and emerging victorious in Colosseum cups. In addition, evolved copy abilities must be purchased to be able to have their respective figures acquired in Gotcha Capsules.

2			Elfilin	★★★	A mystical new friend you met in a mysterious new world. You found Elfilin as he was trying to save the Waddle Dees from the Beast Pack. He seems happy to be Kirby's guide, sharing helpful advice to save the Waddle Dees and rebuild their town. Thanks, Elfilin!

11			Ice	★★★	Brr! So cold! Can you see your own breath? Make a chunk of ice, then kick it forward! Skate and glide wherever you go. You'll even glide right over mud and magma!
12			Car	★★
13			Car-Mouth Kirby	★★★	Kirby gained the mysterious Mouthful Mode ability after he flew through that vorte... Now he can stuff an entire car into his mouth! When he does, he turns into a peppy, pink car that can jump and use Turbo Dash. It's a nice day for a scenic drive. Turn up the radio!

23			Captured Waddle Dees	★★★	The Beast Pack managed to catch these three Waddle Dees with one golden cage! If they work together, they might be able to... Oh. Never mind. They're too sad to move. all they can do is cry out for help, "Wa-wa, wa-wa!" Somebody save them!
24			Awoofy	★★★	A common beast that can be found all over the new world. They're pretty cute, but they have a dangerous wild side. They'll growl and jump at anyone who crosses them! A whole bunch of these critters attacked the Waddle Dees. Funny, you'd think they'd get along!

36			Tortuilding	★★★	Whoa! Tortuilding's shell is a whole building! This big baddie must be some kind of boss for the smaller beasts. It enjoys basking in the sun, so it climbs to high spots and claims the whole area as its territory. (It must take a long time for this critter to get up there...)

59			Alivel Mall Sign	★★★	This was the logo for Alivel Mall, owned by Alivel Holding Company. "Making life even livelier" was their corporate slogan. They ran a wide range of business: entertainment arenas, food shops, service industries... Now the remains of those businesses can be found in all kinds of places, empty and alone.
60			Lightron Works Sign	★★★	The Lightron Works Company was a massive corporation that invested in research and development within all kinds of fields: electro, bio, astro, and more! Lightron eventually split up, giving rise to many rival companies and countless heated corporate battles.

70			Maxim Tomato	★★★	If your health is low, just eat a Maxim Tomato to fully heal yourself. (They're packed with nutrients!) Did these fall out of the same vortex as Kirby and his friends, or were they in the new world already? It's hard to tell, but everyone seems to enjoy them—even the Beast Pack!
71			Café-Staff Kirby	★★★★	Kirby's taken on a side gig at the counter of the Waddle Dee Café! He's dressed like a focused employee, but he's secretly fighting the urge to gobble up each dish himself. This might be his greatest struggle yet... Stay strong, Kirby!
72			Fishing-Pond Kirby	★★★★	Ahhh. Kirby's doing a bit of fishin' at the ol' fishin' pond. He looks super, super relaxed... Maybe too relaxed. Hey! Pay attention, Kirby! There's exciting stuff swimming in that pond, including the legendary "Bling Blipper" of Waddle Dee Town!
73			Wise Waddle Dee	★★★★	When you need wisdom, visit Wise Waddle Dee! He always has a tip handy and seems to know a lot about this new world. His magical encyclopedia can collect and share rankings from all over the world! (Where did he even find that book?!)
74			Delivery Waddle Dee	★★★★	This dutiful delivery Dee works for Waddle Dee-liveries in town. He gets helpful items to your doorstep with blinding speed! Kirby's handwriting makes it hard to read the Present Codes sometimes, but this kind soul approves the orders anyway.
75			Café-Staff Waddle Dee	★★★★	This short-order cook loves to feed his fellow Waddle Dees at the café in town. He even kept them fed after they crashed in the new world! His cooking smelled so good...which is how the Beast Pack found them. Now that the café has been rebuilt, it's time to get to work!
76			Game-Shop Waddle Dee	★★★★	Step right up, step right up! This Waddle Dee runs the town's favorite game, Tilt-and-Roll Kirby. The other Waddle Dees loveto play his game. In fact, they wouldn't stop asking him for more! That might explain why he added the daunting Extra Hard difficulty.
77			Item-Shop Waddle Dee	★★★★	This enterprising Waddle Dee opened his own item shop in town. He sells special items that will help you out. He also supplies the café with an Energy Drink that he makes by hand. They have a special business arrangement: two energy Drinks for three Kirby Burgers!
78			Wild Frosty	★★★	The mysterious vortex brought Mr. Frosty to the new world too! He arrived shortly before Kirby and immediately joined the Beast Pack. (The change in wardrobe must have made it an easy choice.) It's tough to be the new guy, but his fellow beasts love working with him.
79			Strong-Armed Beast Gorimondo	★★★★	Gorimondo considers the local shopping mall to be his personal territory. As part of the Beast Pack's executive council, he's in charge of capturing Waddle Dees and gathering food. He tends to eat all the fruit himself... He just can't help it! This behavior has earned him an earful from his boss more than once.

83			Crash	★★★	DANGER! DANGER! This ability makes the biggest boom of them all, and you can hold the button down to make it even biggest-er! Nothing will escape that blast. BWOOOSH!
84			Noble Ranger	★★★	The most experienced of marksmen requires the fanciest of hats. Fire a barrage of shots with dual-wielded pop guns. You can release a flurry of charged shots too! P-pew, p-pew!
85			Gigant Sword	★★★	This big ol' sword is definitely gigant...ic! It's a bit hard to swing around, but it'll keep you well guarded. Use it to shield yourself from an attack, then go on the offensive!
86			Chain Bomb	★★★	Chain your bombs together to explode all of them at once! Hold the button down, aim, and throw to place them. The more bombs you connect, the more damage they'll do!
87			Chakram Cutter	★★★	You can dual wield cutters?! Whoa! Sling both chakrams forward to slash a wide area in front of you. It's fun to watch 'em fly... as long as you're doing the throwing.

111			Rabiroo & Orabiroo	★★★	The little one? That's Rabiroo. The big one? That's Orabiroo. The O is for, "OH my gosh, look how high they can jump!" Try not to be under one when they land. Their fellow critters like to pet them because they're so fluffy. (Don't touch the tail. They hate that.)
112			Gnawcodile	★★★	This robust swimmer has a powerful jaw. It floats on the water's surface, watching and waiting for its prey. Its hide is as tough as armor, so you'll need something bigger than a Copy Ability to take him down... Do you think Mouthful Mode would do the trick?
113			Balloon-Meister	★★★	Balloon-Meister loves to do tricks! No one knows where it learned 'em. Perhaps it's hereditary? Whatever it is, the tricks are fun! Just don't let the ball touch you. Try to inhale it instead to get the Bomb Ability. (Hey, wait! Where did it get that ball?!)

115			Digguh	★★★	For Digguh, moving through the ground is as easy as swimming. It just dives underground, then...wiggle, wiggle, jump! SURPRISE! You never know when to expect Digguh... Kinda rude, actually. It'll also throw clumps of dirt at you and munch on ground-bound meals.

154			Fleurina	★★★	Fleurina always puts on an elegant show when she attacks. Don't get too caught up in her performance, or you'll get caught up in her tornado to match! She's very dedicated to her dance career and thinks of every battle as a new lesson. (They keep her on her toes.)
155			Wild Edge	★★★	The mysterious vortex brought Gigant Edge to the new world too! They arrived before Kirby and fell in with the ranks of the Beast Pack. Despite the wild wardrobe change, they really stand out among the rest of the pack, but they'll still guard their stations with ferocity!
156			Unfriendly Fronds Tropic Woods	★★★★	Fresh ocean air and warm sunlight helped Tropic Woods grow big and strong. Its giant coconuts will cause big explosions after they drop. It has nonexploding coconuts too, and they're supposed to be delicious! Few have ever tasted them...but many have tried.
157			Lethal Leopard Clawroline	★★★★	Clawroline tried to cut your adventure short at the Wondaria circus. She normally acts as a point of contact for the Beast Pack's boss, but she couldn't resist the chance to track Kirby down herself.

174			Captured Elfilin	★★★	Elfilin was captured by King Dedede after the battle at Winter Horns. His cheerful advice, once so common, was replaced with heavy silence. Don't be sad, Kirby...
175			Primal Awoofy	★★★	Originull Wasteland is the birthplace of the Beast Pack, so it's no wonder the Awoofies found there are more wild than their far-off cousins. They're more agressive in every way, from their bark to their bite. Their primal ancestors must be pleased!
176			Mumbies	★★
177			Totenga	★★
178			Sssnacker	★★★	This ravenous reptile can swallow its enemies whole! Once it shoots out prey, it'll slither after it as swift as it can. Some of the things it tries to swallow seem unreasonably large, but its stretchy body allows it to gulp them down. Wait... why does that sound familiar?

211			The Lone Swordsman Meta Knight	★★★★	The mysterious vortex brought Meta Knight into the new world too! He quickly tasked himself with finding a way back to Popstar... until the Beast Back attacked Waddle Dee Town. The besieged settlement needed protecting, and a swordsman never ignores a chance to train!

It looked like he joined forces with the Beast Pack, but that's no excuse for his mistreatment of the Waddle Dees!

It seems to have orders from its boss to find something important, but all it brings home is junk! What was it supposed to find again? Something... small? And floaty? Hmmm...

224			Masked Hammer	★★★★	The self-proclaimed king's hard-hitting hammers are now yours! Let the power of the mask take over to unleash devastating attacks with a fiery flourish!
225			Morpho Knight Sword	★★★★★	Before the final battle, a fluttering fiend arrives to cast its judgement. This dangerous weapon grants that form to any who wield it. For Kirby handling this power is...a breeze.
226			Big Rig	★★
227			Big-Rig-Mouth Kirby	★★★★	To save two worlds, Kirby's final mouthful must be his biggest! It looks like a lot to handle, but he seems totally fine somehow. Go, Kirby! Carry you and Elfilin's combined hope for the future! Race through the sky and deliver the final blow!
228			Big Red Tortuilding	★★★	The aggressive boss of all Tortuildings dwells within the Forbidden Zone of Redgar. When this hothead finds a suitably sweltering spot, it stays put. It's reckless with its attacks, shooting chunks of concrete out of its mouth to hit faraway enemies.
229			Napping Beast	★★★	The Beast Pack lives among the remnants of a civilization that left this world far behind. They may not know how to use everything they find, but they always enjoy the simple pleasures...like the scent of pine that lingers on this Awoofy's favorite napping spot!
230			The Ranger's Great Discovery	★★★	The new world is filled with danger...and temptation. Any unexpected detour during your adventure could lead to a mountain of treasure. How many other surprises are hiding out there? There's only one way to find out!
231			A Duel with Meta Knight	★★★★★	Meta Knight arrived in the new world shortly before Kirby. He did some early scouting and reached as far as the snowy north before deciding to return and protect the town. Now he keeps watch for beastly invaders from his perch by the Colosseum. He's battled Gorimondo 30 times—and won every bout!
232			Destined Rivals	★★★★★	"Planet Popstar's destined rivals!" That's how King Dedede usually describes this special relationship, so he was crestfallen when he arrived in the new world and couldn't find Kirby. By the time they finally met, Dedede had changed from friendly rival to menace!
233			Adventure Together!	★★★★	Bandana Waddle Dee and Elfilin have joined Kirby's victory dance! Kirby's dancing is cute and carefree, but his singing voice is super powerful. Let's all sing along with him next time! Woo-hoo! Great job, Kirby!
234			Rare-Stone Master	★★★★	It's not clear how or why the space called "Treasure Road" started to appear behind portals throughout the new world. A strong energy was felt from within, and Rare Stones were soon discovered as its source. Congratulations on collecting all of them!
235			Weapons-Shop Waddle Dee	★★★★	This energetic craftsman opened his own weapons shop in town. He can power up your Copy Abilities! All he needs is a blueprint, his trusty hammer, and a little elbow grease. He keeps making the headgear for each evolved ability bigger than the one before. That's how you know they're more powerful!
236			Commentator Waddle Dee	★★★★	The Colosseum is always ready for battles with brutal beasts, but no one was prepared when a mysterious vortex opened inside the arena! Commentator Waddle Dee was so scared that he almost shut everything down, but his curiosity won in the end. What wild battles wait within? It's tournament time!
237			Usher Waddle Dee	★★★★	After the town was destroyed, this movie-loving Waddle Dee decided that the cinema needed to be rebuilt right away. Sure, food and shelter are important, but so are movies! As for his favorite movie, it probably has to be...all of them!
238			The Deedly Dees	★★★★	It's the local four-Dee band, the Deedly Dees! They love to jam in front of a crowd and start each request off with a "Wa-WA!" (Let's GO!) Band meetings at the café can get heated due to their different musical tastes, but when the tunes kick in, they fall perfectly in sync.
239			His Primal Nemesis Forgo Dedede	★★★★	The foul fiend standing guard at the bottom of Redgar Volcano was...King Dedede again?! He calmed back down after you removed his menacing mask. So why did he kidnap Elfilin? He said he was being controlled, even before some strange beast put that mask on him!
240			King of the Beasts Leongar	★★★★★	Here sits the powerful commander of the ferocious Beast Pack. He's become a pawn for an invading specimen from beyond the stars, tasked with gathering food, capturing the Waddle Dees to use as a power source, and—most importantly—retrieving the lost subspecimen tagged as ID-F87...
241			Invasive Species Fecto Forgo (Larva)	★★★★★	When ID-F86 arrived, it began attacking all of the native wildlife. The creature was captured soon after and turned into a test subject. The native inhabitants used it to create tech beyond their wildest dreams. They eventually used that tech to leave the planet altogether, but ID-F86 remained, forgotten and fractured.
242			Invasive Species Fecto Forgo	★★★★★	The invading species, alone and incomplete without Elfilin, was trapped in the Eternal Capsule. Their only refuge was the realm of their dreams. Those dreams spread powerful waves of psychic energy all over the world, slowly taking control of the animals they reached. Escape would require more energy...
243			Ultimate Life-Form Fecto Elfilis	★★★★★	The Elfilin we first met was born from a small, compassionate soul that hid behind greater, invasive ambitions. Without a soul to temper its power, the creature's spatial-teleportation ability ran amok, opening mysterious vortices left and right. Now that they're whole again, they're already planning their next invasion...
244			Strong-Armed Illusion Phantom Gorimondo	★★★★	This illusory beast was created with powerful psychic energy in a realm of dreams. It's not the real Gorimondo—just a phantom made of negative thoughts—but it's still incredibly strong! Since it's based on memories of the real Gorimondo, it can't resist a fruity snack.
245			Illusory Fronds Phantom Tropic Woods	★★★★	This phantom in the form of Tropic Woods has grown mysteriously strong under the illusory sunlight of Forgo Dreams. Do you think its coconuts are illusions too? Wonder what they taste like...
246			Illusory Leopard Phantom Clawroline	★★★★	The real Clawroline asked Kirby to help her save Leongar. This phantom feline is a fake! Formed from negative thoughts and powerful psychic energy, this wild beast doesn't seem to care about Leongar at all. She may be an illusion, but her claws will cause real damage!
247			His Illusory Nemesis Phantom King Dedede	★★★★	This Dedede double is made of powerful psychic energy. It's an illusion of the king based on memories of his embarrassing turn under ID-F86's control, forced to work for Leongar and capture Elfilin. It has no memory of Kirby or the adventures they've shared... It's little more than a haughty, hollow husk.
248			Armor-Plated Illusion Phantom Sillydillo	★★★★	Formed from strong psychic energy and modeled on specific memories of his role in the real world, this phantom copy of Sillydillo will forever wander Forgo Dreams, searching high and low for Elfilin and Kirby... At least its dance moves are still impressive!
249			The Lone Illusion Phantom Meta Knight	★★★★	The lone illusory foe that you encountered outside of Forgo Dreams. When Fecto Forgo tried to control Meta Knight like it had King Dedede, the experienced swordsman came out on top through sheer force of will...but the result was this mysterious doppelgänger, formed by the residual psychic energy!
250			Illusory Primal Nemesis Phantom Forgo Dedede	★★★★	Forgo Dedede was formed when Leongar gave the already-controlled king a mask to further cloud his mind. He was then tasked with guarding the only entrance to Lab Discovera. This phantom copy, based on memories of his terrifying turn, is somehow even stronger and more dangerous than the original!
251			Possessed Beast Forgo Leon	★★★★★	The specimen tagged as ID-F86, left formless and floating after a humiliating defeat, fled to Forgo Dreams to plot their next steps: create a new army of phantom beasts, then claim Leongar's body as their own. When Kirby arrived to force them out, ID-F86 had no choice but to reveal their own phantom form.
252			Fluttering Dream Eater Morpho Knight	★★★★★	The fluttering fiend that casts judgement upon final battles is drawn toward the isolated isles of Forgo Dreams. There, it feasts on the most powerful soul it finds and takes the fearsome form of a scarlet-clad knight... Let the most challenging battle of this new world begin!
253			Piece of Leon's Soul	★★★	After their fight with Kirby, ID-F86's body was destroyed, but their powerful mind survived. They fled to the isolated isles of their own dreams...and brought Leongar with them. To prepare this new vessel, they cast out Leongar's soul, shattering and scattering it throughout the realm of Forgo Dreams.
254			Meow, Meow! (Wake Up, Leon!)	★★★★★	The soul fragments collected by Kirby and Clawroline have been returned to their owner. Leongar–now restored as Leon–is free of ID-F86's corrupting mind control. This world is in good paws once again!
255			Leon & Carol	★★★★★	These two were the famous leaders of the animal kingdom...until Leon found ID-F86. After that, he began speaking in a language Carol couldn't understand–she only speaks in meows–and formed the brutal Beast Pack. She still believed in him, so she formed a new identity of her own and followed along.
256			Species Born of Chaos Chaos Elfilis	★★★★★	A unique convergence of elements, from native-beast souls to ethereal butterfly, gave a stubborn soul one last chance at revenge. This new creation, driven by pure chaos, was defeated by the bright light of Kirby's hope. The last bit of life that remained willingly returned to Elfilin. At last, two became one.

In the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, as part of the new content added in the Star-Crossed World expansion, a new series of Gotcha Figures is introduced.

Etymology

"Gotcha" is an informal English word meaning "got you", referencing obtaining the item. It is also derived from the Japanese word ガチャ (gacha), a Japanese vending machine toy.

Its Japanese name, ガチャルポン (Gacharupon), is derived from the full name of the vending machine capsule, ガチャポン (gachapon).

Trivia

• The Gotcha Capsule figurines are similar to Trophies from the Super Smash Bros. series. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the trophies are replaced by Spirits.
  • They are also similar to Figurines from Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.
• The first Gotcha Capsule collected will always be Kirby.
