The Dreamy Let's Play is a Franchise Play created by The D-Pad in 2016, focusing on Nintendo's Kirby franchise. It aims to cover every single Kirby game across the entire history of the franchise, as well as every game in the tangentially-connected Super Smash Bros. franchise. The project was announced on March 22, 2016 as a replacement for The Fright Before Christmas, and debuted officially three days later on March 25.
The schedule for The Dreamy Let's Play consists of uploads every weekday, generally between 15 and 20 minutes in length, with games being covered roughly chronologically in order of release. However, notable new releases after often played as soon as they are available. Other media from the Kirby franchise has occasionally been covered in additional episodes. Similarly to The Mega Let's Play, each LP begins with a live-action segment exploring the history and development of the game being played, but there are no outro segments. Live-action intros occasionally relate to The D-Pad's ongoing metaplot.
As of March 12, 2022, 41 games (34 official Kirby games, 6 official Super Smash Bros. games, and 1 fan game) have been played as part of the project, and a total of 909 episodes have been released.
Structure
The Dreamy Let's Play is split into two large parts, each one covering a different era in the history of the franchise.
- The first part, simply known as The Dreamy Let's Play, was announced on March 22, 2016, began officially on March 25, 2016, and concluded on March 3, 2017 after a total of 228 episodes. It covered the classic era of Kirby games through the third, fourth, and fifth console generations, from Kirby's Dream Land on the Game Boy to Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble on the GameCube, the first sixth-generation Kirby title. Following the completion of this part, The Dreamy Let's Play was placed on hiatus to free up space on the schedule for the return of The Legendary Let's Play with the newly-released The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
- The second part, Return to the Dreamy Let's Play, began on December 25, 2017 with the first episode of Super Smash Bros. Melee, ending the project's nine-month hiatus. This part covers the modern era of Kirby, including every remaining game in the franchise up to the present day. Due to the increased length of games in this era, the episode count of this part is over twice that of its predecessor. This part is currently ongoing.
