Cross Roads

Cross Roads are something that can be found all across Kirby's Dream World. They are areas that have four different paths to take, and will often take you to key locations of different regions of the game. In the original versions of KDW the dev team felt that every area should have them, but this idea was scraped as time went on. While the original Cross Roads remain, newer areas typically do not feature such a setup allowing for more unique area design.

Trivia
The ideas of Cross Roads were inspired by Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.
