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 April 1, 2022, 43 games (36 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 931 episodes have been released.

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, ending the project's nine-month hiatus, and concluded on February 14, 2020 after a total of 451 episodes.
