'''''The Dreamy Let's Play''''' is a [[Franchise Play]] that attempts to cover every single game in the ''Kirby'' franchise, as well as the tangentially-connected ''Super Smash Bros.'' franchise. The series was announced on March 22, 2016 as a replacement for ''[[The Fright Before Christmas]]'' and premiered just two days later. Unlike the two previous Franchise Plays on the channel, ''The Dreamy Let's Play'' featured no weekend videos, with the schedule being simply a video every weekday, playing the games in order of release date. The one exception to this was the then-new game ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', which was played immediately upon its release. The live-action intros exploring the history of each game in the franchise from ''[[The Mega Let's Play]]'' returned, but the outros did not. Following the completion of ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]'' on March 3, 2017, ''The Dreamy Let's Play'' was put on hiatus in order to free up space in the channel's schedule for ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]''. Episodes resumed on Christmas Day of that year, under the name ''Return to the Dreamy Let's Play''. As of December 26, 2017, 17 games (15 ''Kirby'' and 2 ''Super Smash Bros.'') have been played as part of the project, and a total of 230 episodes have been released.

'''''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.
  
== Games played ==
+
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]].

''The Dreamy Let's Play'' is split into three large parts, each one covering a different era in the history of the franchise.

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. This part covers ''Kirby'' games released from [[2001]] to [[2011]], from ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'' on the [[Game Boy Advance]] to ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' on the [[Nintendo DS]], along with ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', and new releases ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
 +
*The third part, ''Revenge of the Dreamy Let's Play'', began on March 9, 2020 with the first episode of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. This part covers ''Kirby'' games released from 2011 to [[2022]], from ''Return to Dream Land'' on the [[Wii]] to the new release ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' on the [[Nintendo Switch]]. It is currently ongoing.
 +
*The fourth and final part, ''Nightmare in the Dreamy Let's Play'', was announced with a trailer in the first episode of ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' on March 30, 2022, and debuted officially on April 1, 2022, running concurrently with the conclusion of ''Revenge of the Dreamy Let's Play''. A crossover series with ''[[You Do It]]'', ''Nightmare'' consists of livestreams by [[Rick Desilets|Rick]] returning to each game in the franchise in order to play through hard modes and complete additional objectives that were left out of the original LPs. It is currently ongoing.

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 1, 2024, 45 games (38 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 1015 episodes have been released. Additionally, 62 episodes of Nightmare in the Dreamy Let's Play have been released.

Structure

The Dreamy Let's Play is split into three large parts, each one covering a different era in the history of the franchise.
