==Summary==
The Master Crown is a powerful creation of the ancients. It is a magic, sentient crown with dragon-like features that can control all things, granting this ability & further power to its wearers if they are able to control it. The crown got corrupted by the hatred and obsession of overlords who once held it, in present days it only gives power to its users as it amplifies the darkness lurking in their hearts. In the main Halcandra on an alien dimension, Landia guards creations of the ancients while taking special care of the Master Crown. Eventually, Magolor managed to steal the crown and aimed to use its infinite power to control the universe, being opposed by Landia, Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee. During their battle, the crown malfunctioned and took control of Magolor, but was ultimately defeated and destroyed. With it and Magolor dead, Crowned Doomer got the shattered fragments of the crown, becoming a tyrant itself as it teamed up with the crown. Later the fragments of the crown used the reviving-powers of the Red Fruit to resurrect itself, possessing the fruit and aiming to wreak havoc, but getting destroyed by a reborn, partially redeemed Magolor.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: by itself, far lower when used by characters unable to control all of its power | 
Key: Master Crown | Tree crown without a ruler/Possessing the Red Fruit
Name: Master Crown
Origin: Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Age: Unknown. Has existed since ancient times
Classification: Creation of the ancients, Ancient Treasure, legendary crown used by rulers & overlords, "Crown of Domination" | As before, tree crown without a ruler
Wielders: The ancients (Presumably given that they created it), many rulers & overlords in the past, Landia, Magolor, Parallel Landia (It wields a version of it from his own reality), and Void Termina (Creates his own versions of it, thus, they are not Master Crowns per say), Crowned Doomer (Uses all shattered fragments of it when the crown was dead)
Powers and Abilities:
<tabber>
|-|Base=
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Magic (Its powers are magic-based, its shattered power appearing as Magic Points and at least one of the superpowers it can do being a spell), Inorganic Physiology (Type 1), Self-Sustenance (Types 1, 2 and 3), Immortality (Type 3 when possessing a target, types 2 & 7 when dead. Phase 2 Magolor/Magolor Soul is taken over by the crown. When categorically dead and shattered, it could still fly around, power up a user, and possess a target), Regeneration (None normally, High-Mid when possessing a target. Phase 2 Magolor/Magolor Soul is taken over by the crown. Possibly inapplicable because the Red Fruit may have the power to heal users' bodies to this degree, but when the crown was categorically dead and shattered, it parasitically possessed the Red Fruit, a sort of supernatural apple, turning it into a tree and repairing its own body), Flight (Tossed itself from Landia to Kirby & co. Elevated itself from Magolor's hands to his head [Unless Pre-Master Crown Magolor has Telekinesis]. After having gone out of control, was hovering when Magolor's body was detroyed. After dying, it was shown flying freely even while shattered), Statistics Amplification (Gives power to its users. Drastically increased Magolor's power at the time, along with improving his abilities and allowing him to use them in different ways. Increased Crowned Doomer's power while shattered & dead), Power Bestowal (When Magolor used it, it presumably granted him several, if not all the abilities he never showed having before having the crown. Likely granted Crowned Doomer Mind Control as well, via something called "spell of domination" [See Notable Attacks/Techniques below]), Soul Manipulation (In exchange for power, it continuously sips/devours upon the soul of its wearer, though it may or may not only be able to do so if it can corrupt them along the way [See Notable Attacks/Techniques below]), Corruption by Empathic Manipulation (Amplifies the darkness lurking in the hearts of those who wield it, dyeling them in hatred. Meaning that their wearers need flawed qualities for that "darkness" to be amplified), Possession (Before being hit & gone out of control it's not proven that it can naturally possess its users under regular circumstances. In the non-canon Story Mode, possessed/dominated its user Magolor after the crown got hit by Kirby's Ultra Sword. In the canon Extra Mode, possessed the soul of Magolor in the same context. When dead & shattered to pieces, parasitically possessed the Red Fruit. Another version of the crown from other reality "caught" Parallel Landia off-screen, who needed to be freed from it), Likely Mind Control (Via Spell of domination), Transformation (Is transformed itself when Magolor turned into his Phase 1 & EX forms, transformed itself before possessing Magolor for his Phase 2 or Magolor Soul forms. Transformed itself when transforming the Red Fruit into a tree when possessing it, becoming a giant crown. The Master Crown created by Void Termina have its own form, potentially because it had transformed into that shape at some point), Limited Light Manipulation (Can shine for dramatic effect)
|-|Possessing the Red Fruit=
As before, minus Possession (In the sense that it is already using that power), gaining Large Size (Type 0. Its yellow eye is over twice a big as the tiny Magolor, making it over 8 meters tall, its wings being much wider when fully spread), Plant Manipulation (Possessed the Red Fruit, a sort of supernatural apple, and turned it into a tree to use as a body, bending it around at will to move. Can make it fly, grow & drop explosive applies, use leaves as organized projectiles, and rain harming seeds that grow into branches upwards that it can deconstruct), further Statistics Amplification, Life Manipulation & Resurrection (Having possessed the Red Fruit, it holds within the "high life force" its fragments had before regrouping as the Red Fruit. Its fragments' power caused Magolor to learn/re-learn the abilities and recover the power he had before dying, if the latter also happened because of Magic Points shattered from the Master Crown back from before it died, ultimately reviving Magolor and the crown. Master Crown presumably used this to power up the enemies it summoned in battle, given their unique, powerful-looking aura. Magolor used a small apple from the Red Fruit to plant what would eventually grow to be the Gem Apple Tree, which even as a young tree gives off Gem Apples that Team Kirby can use to revive themselves on a regular basis. After the Master Crown in this form was cut in half, with the Red Fruit freed & back to normal, what was left of the crown was off-screen for a time before being shown back to its regular form while being again guarded by Landia; While this isn't explained, it presumably used the resources around itself to revive, if now being separated from the Red Fruit and apparently reset from having gone out of control), further Flight, Portal Creation (Uses portals to make its roots strike foes, having various patterns at it. Uses portals to drop explosive apples and several types of Doomers), Teleportation (It may have teleported itself, Magolor, and the area where Magolor was standing into a ruined city. Can teleport itself. The enemies it summoned will be teleported away if left for a time, in the same way as with "Magolor (Phase 1)" & Magolor EX), Energy Projection & Manipulation (Can shoot an eye beam and several energy beams at once from its own crown body, spinning them as its tree body stays in place), Fire Manipulation & Explosion Manipulation (Was apparently raining fire upon a ruined city, going by the background & how it "invites destruction". The eye beam then causes fire to explosively rise where it hit. Can summon apples of various sizes that will explote if not destroyed first), Limited Deconstruction (Can deconstruct branches it makes grow), Durability Negation (The several energy beams at once from its crown body ignore Magolor's Magic Barrier, as well as Kirby & co.'s Guard in side content)
</tabber>
Attack Potency: Low Multiverse level by itself (An initial Magolor of unknown power amplified himself with the crown as "Magolor (Phase 1)" & Magolor EX, then got transformed into Magolor Soul by being controlled by Master Crown after a battle that "went beyond limits". His defeat caused a deconstruction and fall of space and physical places followed by a wave of space expanding everywhere in an interstellar range, this happening in the dimension where his fight took place and repeated in the 15 level areas where the Sphere Doomers were fought; This destruction was described as Another Dimension collapsing, and the space of its dimensions being closed as time passes, with only one place being left in a description applicable in a repeated way for each of the different places where Sphere Doomers were fought, level areas portrayed as visually separated & each having their own unique planetary-wide road in several alternative versions of the same two planets, each in turn inside an alternative dimension of Another Dimension; Meaning that either 15 or 16 dimensions were being affected by this; This collapse reaching into many dimensions & almost closing all of them minus one place in each of them presumably means that the space between them was affected too, with dimensions like this in Another Dimension being universe-sized. Although it's unclear if this reached all of Another Dimension rather than a part of that multiverse with only those 15 or 16 universes. See here a more elaboraved break down of the feat. The crown's possessed victims are often stated to be controlled by the Master Crown's power itself; Magolor was dominated by the power of the crown in his Phase 2, in the canon Extra Mode the more powerful Magolor Soul was controlled by the full power held by the Crown, being the Crown itself, and a possessed Landia from other reality got "caught by the power of the crown" too, all their displays coming from their Master Crowns' power. To further support the crown's most notable feat to be comparable to its regular attacks; Void Termina has a move where he quickly creates his own versions of Master Crowns mid-combat to attack using energy beams from them, trying to kill his opposition, and dematerializes them before using other attacks. At a later power in time, it would be confirmed that Magolor's moves use the power of the Master Crown despite being in his regular form), far lower when used by characters unable to control all of its power (Users of the crown may draw upon unquantifiable amounts of power from the total amount it could use itself. Landia EX is "unable to control all of its power". Pre-Master Crown Magolor used its power to turn into his Phase 1 form, and then powered up further into his EX form, yet he wasn't "dominated by the power of the crown" until getting possessed by it in his Phase 2 or Magolor Soul forms), able to ignore durability in some ways | Low Multiverse level (Resurreted & parasitically possessed the Red Fruit, turning it into a tree and fighting evenly against Magolor Epilogue Magolor, who regained "all" his power & further developed it into having "surpassed [his] limits" & being "the strongest Magolor" because of all the absorbed Magic Points from the Master Crown before its resurrection & how he collected all the Fruit Fragments [of the Red Fruit], which have developing & resurrective properties, with Magolor's moves using the power of the Master Crown despite being in his regular form. In non-canon side content it can fight evenly against Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle DeeThe True Arena of Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe)
Speed: Unknown travel speed by itself before going out of control (Tossed itself from Landia to Kirby & co. Either couldn't or simply wasn't motivated to do anything beyond that. Shown being more active after being hit & going out of control), Massively FTL+ reactions by itself, as well as combat speed when possessing a target (Wiggles while weared by Magolor, even as he was flying backwards across Another Dimension's Road while chased by Landia. Possessed Magolor & used him to fight Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede & Bandana Waddle Dee at once. Parasitically possessed the Red Fruit & used it to fight Magolor Epilogue Magolor) | Massively FTL+ reactions & combat speed (As before. In non-canon side content it can fight evenly against Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee)
Lifting Strength: Unknown physically, up to Multi-Stellar with its powers (Phase 2 Magolor/Magolor Soul is taken over by the crown) | Multi-Stellar, possibly Universal physically (Parasitically possessed the Red Fruit, which has developing properties as proven with Magolor, meaning that the crown may be more capable than before; Fighting evenly against Magolor Epilogue Magolor, it can survived harmed his Black Holes attacks, it can use its body in a crushing attack, and, while weakened, it could use its "arms" to momentarily repel upwards Magolor trying to cut it in half by using an Ultra Sword in a notable struggle, with Magolor moving the sword with Telekinesis, which is later proven to be capable to briefly restrain the likes of Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee or Shadow Kirby as they can fight it back to break free. Magolor can lose that struggle in gameplay, if it doesn't kill him. In non-canon side content it can fight evenly against Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee being able to use its body in a crushing attack against them at once)
Durability: Low Multiverse level (Vulnerable while used by Magolor, seemingly only taking damage when it was hit by Kirby's Ultra Sword. Vulnerable while possessing Magolor, taking hits from Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee, whose prior battle against Magolor "went beyond limits" and who could take attacks from the crown & later trade blows with comparable foes) | Low Multiverse level (Fought evenly against Magolor Epilogue Magolor. In non-canon side content it can fight evenly against Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee at once)
Range: Below Standard Melee Range physically, Interstellar with its regular abilities at best, up to Low Multiversal destruction with its own destruction & defeat (It only caused that much destruction when possessing Magolor and after a battle in which he repeatedly used space-based attacks) | Several Meters physically, Tens of Meters with projectiles, otherwise as before
Weaknesses: Got itself corrupted by the hatred and obsession of past overlords who once weared it, that same hatred and obsession of past overlords being what may cause it to possess targets (The very first ruler with the crown wouldn't have to deal with the hatred and obsession of overlords who weared the crown before, because those would come after themselves, or they would become the first overlord). Even then, the crown it's a rather neutral entity before going out of control, at best simply aiming to have others wear it with subtlety | Either by defeating it or cutting them in half, the Red Fruit will be freed & back to normal, then, what was left of the crown will survive; Presumably having used the resources around itself to revive, but now being separated from the Red Fruit and apparently reset from having gone out of control
Feats
*Magolor implied it to be superior to other Ancient Artifacts, like the Lor Starcutter he already had and clockwork stars, of whom Galactic Nova is presumably one of.
*An initial Magolor with unknown power amplified himself with the crown, having one-shotted Landia.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
*Spell of domination: 
**Possession: The crown uses this to possess users. Before being hit & gone out of control it's not proven that it can naturally possess its users under regular circumstances.
**Likely Mind Manipulation: While vague, it's possible it uses it to mind control targets as well, given that in the same game Crowned Doomer had Electricky Dooter, Fiery Puffer, Hydriath and the Rampaging Doomers under its dominion, they doing tasks for Crowned Doomer, their master, which is also portrayed as Crowned Doomer controlling them.Kirby JP twitter, post of Jul 26, 2023 However, it could simply be that Crowned Doomer conquered them & they followed its authority with no superpowers involved at it. Crowned Doomer was likely to already be the boss of the Rampaging Doomers, but he would have needed to conquer the rest extremely quickly, given that Magolor & the crown reached the same place at the same time, and Magolor found Electricky Dooter, Fiery Puffer & Hydriath in that situation as bosses of a rather short story right after the crown met Crowned Doomer off-screen. Similarly, Magolor (Phase 1) & Magolor EX may have used it to control dozens of Doomers and Sphere Doomers to attack Kirby & co. as this creatures could stay & die on places that could crush them and made organized pirouettes when summoned. Likewise, the summoned-Doomers during its possession of the Red Fruit may be mind-controlled too.
**Soul Manipulation: In exchange for power, it continuously sips/devours upon the soul of its wearer. Though, it may or may not only be able to do so if it can corrupt them along the way, given that Landia uses power from the crown when battling in EX form, which would be the guardian of the crown allowing it to devour his soul, which can be counterproductive. Landia is "unfaltering to the Power of Domination", so this may mean he's resistant to the spell of domination if that's another name for it, but then another Landia got possessed by his crown anyway. Still, maybe that other Landia didn't have that resistance, or maybe the main Landia has a Resistance against Soul Manipulation, or against the spell of domination in general while it's something that can be overpowered.
