After Kirby defeats Meta Knight and King Dedede and frees them from the Jamba Heart's influence, a large fortress known as Jambastion lands on Popstar. Kirby notices many Waddle Dees bringing food to Castle Dedede and decides to investigate. A heart hits Kirby, but it instead gives him the ability to befriend enemies by throwing hearts. Many characters, including King Dedede and Meta Knight, are possessed while investigating the hearts that land on the planet. On the Jambandra space station far away from Kirby's home planet Popstar, a dark crystal heart explodes due to an imperfection in a mysterious ritual, sending its numerous fragments, Jamba Hearts, hurtling into deep space.

Players start with a certain number of lives and can earn more lives by getting extra lives or by collecting 100 stars. The elemental fusions last for as long as the power is held or until a new element is introduced over it, while some of the combinations are single-use moves that bear more of a resemblance to the combinations found in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
