Kirby: Heroes of Pop Star Trilogy

The Kirby: Heroes of Pop Star Trilogy is a series of Kirby games developed by Gear Games, designed for giving diverse gameplay than just reusing 2.5D actions, and give focus on extensive gameplay and unique experience for each game.
It also give a deeper lore for Magolor, who, after befriended Kirby for real, was what caused to change the life of Heroes of Pop Star forever does to the presence of the first antagonist of the trilogy, Exateno, the Wicked Star (title is instead King of Extreme Light in Japanese). A commanality between the trilogy is the presence of EX Energy at various extent.
It also returns multiple bosses from previous Kirby games, including those from Kirby Super Star, as well as keep giving nods of the "Dreader Trio", which include Marx, Drawcia, and Queen Sectonia, while also include Dark Matter as a minor antagonist.
The story is more like episodic, although chained one after another, and despite the simplistic plots, always have a tragic villain in each game (in Exateno's case, it was his ancient time where he was unfairly rejected by a mayor does to his rejection to giant-sized creature), and one of the anti-heroes being more involved with the main villain (Magolor's attempt to conquer the universe caused Exateno to come, and King Dedede being victim of Teppurse tricking the citizens to finally reject the self-proclaimed King of Dream Land), giving a bigger impact to the story and relationship between the characters.
