Kirby Star Allies Ultra

Kirby Star Allies Ultra is an upcoming remake and enhanced version of the original Kirby Star Allies for the Nintendo Switch. Like its predecessor the game is also being released on the Nintendo Switch. It is a 2.5D Platformer with some light action elements but mainly focuses around navigating through levels making use of unique abilities to complete each level. The game focuses on Kirby and co. when a strange cult from a distant place in the galaxy appears one day with a mysterious energy that takes the form of dark purple hearts which when they come into contact with anyone other than Kirby cause them to become possessed. Fortunately Kirby is immune to the effects and quickly after seeing some of his friends fall under the spell goes to help and put a stop to this strange invasion.
==Plot Synopsis==
The main plot of the game is largely unchanged from the original Star Allies. The main plot focuses on Kirby and co. as all of Pop Star and several other planets is taken over by the Jamba Cult, a strange group seeking to resurrect their dark lord through draining multiple worlds of their love. As the game progresses Kirby and co. meet and defeat the Three Mage Sisters on multiple occasions, learning about their past and why they along with the other Jamba Cult members are doing these heinous actions.
At the climax, Kirby manages to break through the inner defences of the Jambandra Base and confront the ring leader, an ancient named Hyness who was driven mad in his isolation and rejection. Though managing to defeat Hyness, he quickly sacrificed his own self to summon Void Termina, who, fueled by the hatred and loneliness of Hyness became an entity of darkness and evil. Forced to face the behemoth, Kirby managed to overcome Void Termina's true form with the love he shared with his friends as well as those he met along the way on each of the other planets.
Alongside Kirby facing off against Void Termina, his friends whom he'd freed over the course of the game also were on their own separate quest, facing off against other foes across the various planets. Although it's not specified who, eventually Kirby's friends managed to breach the Jambandra Base as well, although found themselves in a strange room with blooming flowers which attracted a butterfly from Pop Star. Using the residual energy leaking from the incomplete Jamba Heart, the butterfly summoned the greatest warrior of the galaxy, Galacta Knight who after being defeated by Kirby's friends in their collective effort was absorbed by the butterfly, becoming the Fluttering Dream Eater, Morpho Knight. Though managing to conquer Morpho Knight it turned out the fight Kirby's friends had was merely an illusion set-up by Morpho Knight in their minds as they'd been asleep as Morpho Knight left before any of them could awaken.
During the events of the Deluxe Story Mode, My Id, Ego and Super-Ego Reborn, the player takes control of the Three Mage-Sisters after the events of the game, like the rest of the Jamba cult, their hearts were sacrificed by Hyness to summon Void Termina, however the trio managed to retain their sense of self and persist in another dimension. This post-story sees the trio travel across the dimension combatting shadowy versions of themselves which after being defeated unlock their full powers, in addition Morpho Knight makes an appearance in this dimension, seemingly having forced its way into the dimension through a heart-shaped rift, after defeating Morpho Knight who intended to absorb the residual energy of Void Termina to give itself more power, the trio delve into the remnants of Void Termina itself where the corrupted Hyness can be found, still under the control of Void Termina's soul.
After defeating their former ruler, the trio are sent powerful positive energy through the portal that the corrupted Hyness intended to use to escape the dimension, it's not stated where this energy came from although listening carefully to the background music suggests it was provided by Kirby. The trio imbued with the positive energy manage to purge Void Termina from Hyness, finally freeing the Jamba leader from Void Termina's control. Unlike the other Deluxe Story Modes, this story mode also features a collectible in the form of the Jambelievers' souls which upon collecting 100% will reward the player with a cinematic showing that after their return, the Jamba cult, having reformed turned a new leaf and removed the Love-Love Needle remains from the planets and help the inhabitants recover.
The ending also suggests that a part of Void still lingered managing to escape Another Dimension. This comes to a head in The True Arena where Kirby and co. after defeating a whole bevy of previous bosses found through both the main story and Deluxe story modes, begins to encounter fissures into the dimension, after defeating Masked Dedede, Wham Bam Jewel, Morpho Knight EX and La Feyrelin pieces of energy are seen being absorbed from each of them. This culminates in the second to last battle where the shell of Void Termina is resurrected into Void Termina EX and upon defeating the god of death a second time, Kirby finds himself confronted by the Astral Birth Void a form of void that cast off the negative emotions of the original void, instead seeking one powerful enough for it to follow in. After defeating this version of Void, the ending suggests much like the original Star Allies that Void was reborn into a new form, possibly that of a friend.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay of Kirby Star Allies Ultra is largely the same as the original, the game allows Kirby (controlled by Player 1) and up to three other players (either as other Kirbies or Kirby's friends) to traverse through 2.5D stages. As with prior Kirby games, Copy Abilities are a major mechanic allowing Kirby to copy the effects of his enemies and solve environmental puzzles to unlock secret passages and various rewards as well as sometimes being necessary for progression. 3D Warp Stars return from Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot allowing stages to have more depth to them as well as new Cross-lane Bridges which the player can use to run between the different lanes when the option presents itself.
Unlike the original Star Allies, KSAU features an overhauled Mixing system for its copy abilities. More akin to Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, the game groups each Copy Ability into one of seven elements, when combined these elements create wholly new copy abilities with powerful effects, gaining the bonuses of both of the original abilities. Another overhaul comes from the replacement for Friend Powers, where in the original these would always be activated at Friend Pedestals, in KSAU they can now be activated wherever as long as the player has at least two characters in their party with the same element, each of the seven elements has its own Friend Power some having a similar or same effect to those found in Star Allies while others have wholly new effects. It's up to the player to determine when a Friend Power is needed to progress and sometimes Friend Powers are needed to access secret side areas.
The game's level layout is primarily linear although the player will periodically be presented with a split path allowing the player to choose between two levels. The player will also find optional levels return where the player is challenged with more difficult level mechanics and is typically rewarded with a new friend. Every friend in the original Star Allies returns and can be unlocked through these optional levels, the player can also unlock permanent versions of the friend forms of regular enemies by completing special Challenge Courses.
===Other Sub-Modes===
In addition to the main story mode, Kirby Star Allies Ultra features a number of additional sub-modes for players. There are two wholly new sub-games as well as a new version of the EX Mode and Arena.
====Deluxe Story Modes====
Deluxe Story Modes are bonus stories told from the perspective of the various Dream Friends that Kirby meets during the main campaign. The mode is an evolution of Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! however features wholly new levels for each character and even some unique bosses throughout. The Story Modes are similar to those found in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra being a series of stages as opposed to a full-on new game.
Some stories directly tie into the main plot of the game while others are side plots showing what the characters have been up to since their last appearance in the series.
====Choice Arena====
Choice Arena is KSAU's equivalent of The Ultimate Choice from the original Kirby Star Allies. As the name would suggest, the Choice Arena includes elements from the Arena and Ultimate Choice mixed together. The Choice Arena is like previous iterations, a boss rush where the player is tasked with defeating every listed boss in a single life and receive rewards based on the difficulty and number of bosses. The player also has access to a finite amount of recovery items between rounds as well as the option to swap their ability between two ability pedestals.
The unique quality of Choice Arena is that the player is able to select which bosses they'd like to fight, some are grouped into blocks meaning the player must either fight all of them or none of them. Others unlock harder variants when the player meets the necessary requirements. There are also the special Challenge Cups which the player receives upon defeating a unique set of bosses with particular restrictions.

Everything is emblazoned with King Dedede's iconography even down to the very cobblestones that make up the roads.
	5	Meta KnightLove-Love Needle 	The site where the Love-Love Needle struck Pop Star, it has become warped and twisted by the needle's presence. Strange machinery that appears to work purely on magic has begun to appear from the needle, harvesting the resources of the planet.
	5	Chieberg 	A massive icy fissure that formed when the Love-Love Needle struck the planet of Frostak, strange primitive creatures built many small settlements along the glacial valley and are hostile to outsiders. The valley is however the only way to climb the glacier to reach the Love-Love Needle.
	5	FrizammothFrancisca 	A mighty frozen landscape bathed in the eternal aurora lights, harsh blizzards wash across the region to sweep away anyone who is foolish enough to challenge them. Lakes that have been frozen for thousands of years are enjoyed by the Jamba cultists who use the area to relax.
	5	Onno CrittersMegaslog 	The large jungle that makes up the dominant environment on the planet of Lavadom, its vast giant trees hide many secrets within and are inhabited by bands of wild animals that stampede unwary travellers. Be wary however as even the plants will gobble up a small creature like Kirby.
	5	MagmolordFlamberge 	A mighty volcano surrounded by a moat of its own lava, the Love-love Needle struck directly into the volcano causing it to endlessly erupt, bathing the planet in a never-ending cloud of ash. The fortress this formed is extremely difficult to infiltrate.
	5	Glacctria 	The ruins of a once mighty city, it appears to have been consumed by the desert long ago, the ancient structures that still stand now merely ruins. Strange decorations depict great figures of power that perhaps ruled these lands and the stars beyond.
	5	Mother FoleyViloworm 	The vast desert was spawned from the Love-Love Needle on this planet, its sands eternally pressing outwards to consume more territory. Small oasis have formed throughout that offer a respite however much of the land is vicious with raging storms that pull and push the inhabitants around.

	6	Grand MamQU33-N 	The lower sections of the Mekalios Station, after crash-landing Kirby must find his way through the old machinery that still trudges along even after its creators disappeared thousands of years ago. Small scampering creatures roam about eating at the circuitry and wires.

It appears to have once been some sort of amusement park although has long since been taken over by the robots that once served the park, turning it into a true kingdom. It is as beautiful as it is, artificial.
	6	Lurgmire 	A mire of lost dreams, on this planet even the Love-Love Needle is affected by the endless bog of despair that pulls the unfortunate down. Toxins and deadly plants pose the biggest threats as the inhabitants of the planet live in fear of their environment. Strange ruins that possess magical capabilities dot the landscape.
	6	Fuge WitchFlamberge Warmech 	A den for mages, the giant forest stands above the mire, having grown around the Love-Love Needle where its inhabitants worship the needle's strange energy. The massive forces of magic at play cause the very environment itself to twist, warp and contort in response to those that play with it.
	6	Spectomasque 	A creepy mansion sits atop this buried Love-Love Needle, to get to it one must first conquer the daring and dangerous obstacles along the way. This planet's unusual atmosphere seems to keep the spirits of the dead lingering on, from cursed ships to ominous graveyards, the impenetrable Love-Love Needle needs to be accessed from beyond the grave.
	7	PhantirouettePartizanne Orchestra	A strange inversion of the world, in this state before the Love-Love Needle arrived a great symphony of culture existed, the needle hovers over the landscape becoming a symbol of worship for many sending out waves of energy that seem to invigorate the residents in unusual ways.
	7	HynessVoid Termina 	The heart of the Jamba cult, this massive orbiting space vessel with Love-Love Needles protruding from its underside is far older than any other known structure in the galaxy.

===Friend Powers===
Unlike Kirby Star Allies, Friend Powers are a more directly controlled mechanic by the player, they're not presented with designated Friend Pedestals like in KSA but rather must figure out the correct Friend Power to progress. Friend Powers can be activated when two or more player characters share the same element. There are Friend Powers for each of the copy ability elements. It should also be noted that if Kirby has a fused copy ability he can activate either of the ability's elements.
 	
Rolling Rumble Rockslide 	Become a rockslide of power, careen across the terrain as a mighty rolling boulder and squash your foes. You can perform a charge attack to rapidly speed across the environment and break through especially durable obstacles. Kirby can also summon miniature boulders which roll alongside the group not only to deal more damage but also activate switches through walls.
Thunder Tinsel Tower 	Using the power of electricity, Kirby and co. become a mighty monolith of energy, able to fire off electrical blasts they can activate multiple switches at once. When attacking at the same time, the power becomes harmonized generating an electrical field that protects the group from oncoming damage. The tower can also be used to complete electrical circuits.
Explosive Eruption Eclipse 	Make way for the rampaging and adhesive eruptive friend power, charge through areas at high speed and stick to the terrain thanks to the flow of lava from beneath your feet, riding it like a wave. Kirby and co. can also summon asteroids which can clear out paths as well as ignite fuses and burn down wooden structures. If the group focus then they can summon a fiery dragon spirit that can tear through even metallic obstacles.
Mighty Morphin' Masher 	Become a walking mecha-knight clad in ultra-heavy armour. The shear power behind this form is unmatched, a master of all weapons, Kirby and co. can unleash powerful strikes with Swords, Axes, Staves, Spears, Hammers, Claws, Maces and much more. When attacking in sync this causes more damage with the weapons and if all four attack at once it leads to the mecha Masher performing a powerful Spin Attack.
Grand Green-Green Garden 	Creating a vast green garden of flowers, trees and ferns, this Friend Power sees Kirby and co. riding atop a massive flowery vine that can extend to produce flowery growths in the surrounding terrain. The vines can create physical bridges allowing entities and objects to flow over them. In addition by bringing life back to areas devoid of it, Kirby and co. can receive a variety of rewards as well as access new areas.
Washaway Winding Wave 	Moving along a corkscrew-like wave, this Friend Power sees Kirby and co. take on a massive surfboard and unleash a torrent on their enemies. The ability not only is useful for taking out very large fires as one might expect but also activating turbines and other machines. The ability can even clean off rust and dirt opening up new pathways.
Catastrophic Coiling Cyclone	Whip up an almighty Tornado and fly across stages raining stormy destruction on your foes. This Friend Power sees Kirby and co. spin around at such high speeds to generate a twister that can tear through the terrain, not only can it lift heavy objects off the ground and activate some machines like windmills but also is able to pull objects from the background into the foreground.
==Enemies==
===Mid-Bosses===
 		
Bugzzy 		A large stag beetle, Bugzzy is a master of the art of throwing, his large pincers being able to lift and hurl creatures far larger than him making Kirby an easy target. He will usually quickstep in preparation for his attack, then charge across the arena, if he grabs Kirby then he'll perform one of several throwing moves. He may also fly into the background and release a swarm of ladybugs to attack the player. He may also jump up very high and perform a zig-zag float between the foreground and background until reaching the other end of the arena, much like his charge he will throw the player if he touches them. Bugzzy is also able to perform a new rolling attack where he will jump forwards, then backwards, roll into a ball and rush around the ring of the arena including the walls and ceiling, he will flatten Kirby if he hits the pink puffball.
Bonkers 		A large purple gorilla with a cool pompadour and large hammer to boot. Bonkers has a number of attacks including smashing the ground with his hammer (Bonkers EX smashes the ground repeatedly) and performing a hammer flip. He can also hurl explosive coconuts which Kirby can inhale. He also sometimes performs one of two jumping hammer spins, where he bounces on the hammer like a pogo stick, one variant goes across the arena and generates shockwaves while the other jumps between the foreground and background. Bonkers can also throw his hammer like a boomerang, making two circle motions around the arena before returning to him. Bonkers may also use his hammer to bat explosive coconuts (Gordos in EX) which bounce along the ground before exploding.
Petalarra 		A large flower bulb, Petalarra's arena contains several bushes of grass which it can quickly jump between, the number varies but there are always at least three, two on either end of the arena and one in the background. Petalarra mainly attacks by creating tornadoes from its leaves which can whip Kirby up hurling him into the air. Petalarra can also create a rainstorm of petals which slowly flutter down and damage Kirby if he's hit. She may also attack with her vines, causing it to burrow through the ground and attempt to skewer Kirby from below. If the vine attack is done in the background she will instead summon the vine as a pillar and attempt to make a sweeping strike across the arena at Kirby forcing him to run to the other end of the arena. At low health, Petalarra can surround itself in a leaf tornado and spin around the arena's foreground and background trying to catch Kirby.
Gigant Edge 		A powerful swordsman clad in extremely heavy armour that ways him down. Gigant Edge attacks with a big sword, even larger than Kirby himself. He can attack by striking the ground in front of him or performing a running charge. He may also raise his shield giving Gigant Edge invulnerability from all incoming attacks. When at low health he may throw his sword which moves in a wave motion between the foreground and background of the arena before returning to him. Gigant Edge may also piledrive the middle of the arena unleashing spiked monoliths from underground to skewer Kirby. His last attack is to spin around at high speeds and then rapidly accelerate across the arena before crashing into the opposing wall, depending on where Kirby is, Gigant Edge may move upwards during this attack.
Kibble Blade 		Kibble Blade is a large knight-like character with a large mohawk-style cutter blade clad in gold. Kibble Blade mainly attacks by hurling large cutter blades, either by throwing them across the arena or in a sweeping motion where they shift between the foreground and background in a circular pattern. He may also charge across the arena at full speed, crashing into the opposing wall. One of Kibble Blade's new attacks is to hurl a cutter blade directly into the ground in front of him, if he jumps before doing this the blade will ricochet off the ceiling and ground in a zig-zag motion, if he doesn't then the cutter blade will turn into a buzzsaw and run along the ground of the arena. When at low health, Kibble Blade will rapidly hurl several cutter blades moving between the foreground and background in erratic patterns which can be difficult to react to (three Cutter Blades normally, five for Kibble Blade EX).
Vividria 		Vividria is an artistic creature, seemingly of the same species as Drawcia and Paintra although has a large blond ponytail shaped like a paintbrush with which she can attack with. Her primary method of attack is to perform several sweeping strikes of paint which not only can hurt the player but also obscure parts of the screen with paint streaks. She can also spin around create a razor-sharp whirlwind, if she charges up before doing this attack she will also release globs of paint which obscure the screen. Vividria is also able to create a rainstorm of paint by moving into the background, the rain is directional based on where Vividria is angled. She may also create a sculpture of a hand, depending on the pose of the hand it may charge across the floor of the arena, walk across the arena before floating up, slam down creating a shockwave or fire off an energy shot.
Arrotale 		Arrotale appears as a large humanoid enemy cloaked in numerous robes, scarves and ribbons, their hands which appear as white mitts and their eyes which glow through the shadows of their clothing are the only parts of them that are visible. They wear a long feather in a tricorn and carry two bows, a standard and longbow. Their main method of attacks is to fire arrows at Kirby, they will usually move around the Arena while aiming, and will track Kirby until right before they fire, sometimes they move up and down along the arena and other times in a circle through the foreground and background. Alternatively they may fire an arrow into the sky which rains down several energy arrows from above (Arrotale's EX version of this attack unleashes electrical explosions with each arrow). When at low health, Arrotale will create shadowy duplicates of itself, the player must discern the real Arrotale from the fakes as each of them try to fire on Kirby. Arrotale also gains a new attack, shooting three arrows at once from their longbow at differing ranges.
Poppy Bros. Sr.		Poppy Bros. Sr. is an amorphous but vaguely humanoid creature who are the senior versions of Poppy Bros. Jr., although their proper relation is unknown. Like their junior counterparts, Poppy Bros. Sr. hurl bombs at Kirby and co. which can detonate on impact (red) or after a few seconds (black/blue). Poppy Bros. Sr. is also very acrobatic, constantly hopping around the arena, foreground and background making landing hits difficult. Some attacks involve Poppy Bros. Sr. hurling a single bomb while others have them hurling multiple bombs in quick succession, either in a pattern or following the player's movements. When at low health, Poppy Bros. Sr. can hurl larger bombs which when they explode leave behind an explosion field for a few seconds. Poppy Bros. Sr. may also jump on one of these larger bombs and ride it like a circus ball attempting to flatten Kirby with it.
Mr. Frosty 		A large walrus-like creature with powers over ice. Mr. Frosty can roll up snowballs and hurl them or roll them on the arena, doing the latter causes them to become larger the longer they roll. Mr. Frosty may also attempt to inhale Kirby, if he succeeds Kirby will be frozen and spat out in an ice cube. Mr. Frosty may also perform a running charge although often crashes into the opposing wall, he may also slip and slide bouncing off the walls of the arena. He can also spit out giant snowflakes which spin around in the background before charging at Kirby into the foreground. After taking damage, Mr. Frosty may cover himself in snow, forming a giant snowball and bounce around the arena, the foreground and the background before attacking Kirby directly. He can also breathe ice onto the ground making it slippery or onto the ceiling to make icicles fall from above.
Fire Galboros 		A fiery reptilian creature, Flame Galboros' main method of attack is with its mouth from which it can breathe fire and spew lava. Flame Galboros' main attack is to breathe a jet of fire across the arena, he may also swing the flame breath into the foreground and background. If in the middle of the arena or the background, Flame Galboros may breathe fire and spin around on his point (Flame Galboros EX's version of this attack can scorch the screen in burn marks to obfuscate the screen). Flame Galboros can also spew lava from his mouth, this appears as either globs which rush along the ground or as fiery meteors which explode on impact with a surface. Flame Galboros can also jump surprisingly high and create fiery shockwaves on impact including from the foreground or background. When at low health, Flame Galboros will start billowing smoke which can partially obscure the screen, Flame Galboros may conceal himself within the smoke to attack from within however his attacks glow before being performed indicating to the player where Flame Galboros is.
Water Galboros 		The Water Galboros is a large reptilian creature with a distinct ridge-line of fins running down its back. As its name suggests, it attacks by spewing water, it's main method of attack is to hurl globs of water which explode on impact, it can also spit directly upwards creating a geyser around it to rain down on the player. Water Galboros is also capable of create bubbles by focusing, although slower moving, these bubbles persist longer and can capture and hold Kirby leaving him vulnerable for a period of time (Water Galboros EX's bubbles also deal damage). Water Galboros will ride a wave of water across the arena and between the foreground and background in a zig-zag pattern. When at low health, Water Galboros can create a circular wave of water where it stands if Kirby gets too close to both deal damage and push him back. He can also build up and fire off a prolonged blast of water across the arena which will heavily damage Kirby if caught in the blast.
Gulptera 		Gulptera is a large anglerfish, it is similar visually to Sweet Stuff. Gulptera's main method of attack is to charge and attempt to bite Kirby with her massive jaws, Gulptera's arenas usually have water from which she can hide beneath with only the light from her bulb shining right before she attacks. On land she can also charge in a similar fashion to King Dedede. Gulptera can also create a blinding flash of light to disappear and disorientate the player, she may also swim into the background and attempt to attack Kirby into the foreground as opposed to across the arena. When at low health, the light in the arena will dim and Gulptera will create several light sources (three normally, five for Gulptera EX), the fake lights will fade away until the last one attacks Kirby directly as a sudden charge by Gulptera.
Fiscovader 		Fiscovader appears as a large floating alien with UFO-like traits and disco-themed elements. Its main method of attack is shining powerful beams of light that bounce off surfaces of the arena to damage Kirby similar to lasers. Fiscovader mainly floats around slowly although can teleport when needed, Fiscovader can fire a single large laser at Kirby and gradually change its angle creating a zig-zag pattern across the arena, or can float around the foreground, arena and background firing off six lasers at once which oscillate striking different parts of the arena as Fiscovader flies around. Fiscovader may also teleport near Kirby and attempt to fire a short beam of light directly at the pink puffball who must avoid the attack. When at low health, Fiscovader may float into the background and duck into its UFO form and begin spinning rapidly, unleashing a barrage of light beams which sweep across the arena at different heights.
===Bosses===
 		
Rosely Woods 		A beautiful variant of Whispy Woods that appears much more self-absorbed than other iterations. Its large canopy of flowers is in fact a whole separate entity, a parasitic creature that's attached itself to the Whispy Woods, taking over its mind. Although this boss retains Whispy's main attacks of dropping fruit, blowing puffs of wind and shooting thorny roots up from below ground it also gains access to several new attacks from the parasite. Vines will periodically drop down from above which are covered in thorns, damaging Kirby if he makes contact with them, the boss can also fire off spinning roses which fly around like cutter blades, either moving in a zig-zag motion between the background and foreground across the arena or attaching to the ground and moving along it like a buzzsaw.
When his health is reduced, Rosely Woods will go into a second phase where the parasite grows, appearing from within Whispy's mouth. It gains the ability to perform a super inhale in an attempt to pull Kirby in. In addition the boss is able to drop seeds down which sprout into large vines which rapidly grow upwards after a few seconds. Rosely also swaps out the fruit that Whispy drops for explosive seeds which can give Kirby the Bomb Copy Ability if inhaled. Periodically the parasite will reveal itself from Whispy's mouth and attempt to attack by spitting smaller rose cutter blades in groups of three.
When down to about 1/3 of its health left, the boss will seemingly complete its transformation with the parasite erupting from beneath the ground, effectively carrying Whispy on top of itself. The boss fight transitions to have Rosely Woods chase Kirby in a similar vein to the fight against Whispy Woods in Kirby's Dream Land 3. In this phase, the boss will hurl explosive seedlings ahead of Kirby in an attempt to trip him up. Rosely will also spew tornadoes along with its puffs of air and rose cutter blades. If the boss stops and begins to focus it will unleash a vine tendril which completely covers the ground layer forcing Kirby to take flight, while doing so, Rosely will attempt to attack Kirby with more rose cutter blades. During this phase the player may also come across enemies which can be inhaled to attack with or gain copy abilities from.
King Dedede 		King Dedede serves as a boss at the end of the first stage of Royal Regalia, taken over by the influence of the Love-Love Needle. This fight against King Dedede starts out similar to previous fights with the King wielding his powerful wooden hammer and attacking Kirby with it either through swinging it over his head or charging into a twister that ricochets around the room. Like previous fights, King Dedede will also attempt to tackle Kirby, but trips in doing so as well as try to inhale Kirby. One of King Dedede's new attacks during this first phase has him bellow, calling on a wave of Waddle Dees that all charge at Kirby, in the midst of this charge, King Dedede will throw his hammer like a boomerang in an arcing motion between the foreground and background.
After taking significant damage, King Dedede will shift to his second phase, abandoning his hammer (which Kirby can inhale to gain the copy ability) and instead summoning a pair of large needle-like spears with love-heart shaped handles on the end. King Dedede's attacks in this phase are much faster as he attacks with each spear in large swinging motions that can quickly cover much of the arena. He can also hurl the spears and summon more through a strange magic, these thrown spears can be inhaled to get the Spear Copy Ability. King Dedede's charge also becomes a lunge with a much greater range thanks to the spears. Another attack King Dedede possesses in this phase is to plunge one of the spears into the ground and use it like a catapult to hurl himself across the arena, rolling into a ball and bouncing around wildly, being unpredictable and difficult to avoid properly. When he is at very low health, King Dedede can use a desparation attack where he holds the two spears above his head creating a heart-shaped portal that fires magical energy blasts in volleys at Kirby, after three sets of volleys, King Dedede clangs the spears together and the portal fires a powerful beam diagonally across the arena which Kirby must avoid.
Wild'a'Beast 		A large minotaur like creature that seemingly was brought here by the Love-Love Needle, unwillingly as indicated by the shackles around its neck and limbs. The creature appears to be fuelled by an unnatural rage and attacks with wild vigor and power. During the first phase of the battle, Wild'a'Beast attacks primarily by charging around the arena, this is either directly at Kirby or indirectly via the background and foreground. The boss can also stop mid-charge and reverse direction to catch the player off-guard, in addition when not charging, Wild'a'Beast may smash the ground with its forelimbs creating shockwaves which can knock Kirby back, it may also jump into the background to perform this attack making the shockwaves trickier to predict. If Kirby happens to be on the opposite side of the arena, the boss may surprise the player by performing a powerful energy strike which surges across the arena before boomeranging back to the boss.
After taking some damage, the Wild'a'Beast seems to break out of its mind control, however just as it does so a Jambeliever jumps on its back and sticks a Love-Love Needle into the creature causing it to go berserk as the Jambeliever rides on its back. Not only are its charging attacks much more dangerous in this phase but when it does an across the arena charge, Wild'a'Beast leaves behind a fiery trail along the ground that lingers for a few seconds. The Jambeliever on Wild'a'Beast's back may also attack during this phase, hurling Love-Love Needles at Kirby and co. if these needles strike a CPU Character they'll temporarily be taken over by the love-love needle until Kirby breaks it with a Friend Heart. The Jambeliever may also force Wild'a'Beast into the background and hurl four Love-Love Needles into the arena's corners, the Love-Love Needles then generate powerful energy links between them which can damage the player.
After sustaining more damage, Wild'a'Beast manages to knock the Jambeliever off its back however is still in a state of rage, the creature begins attacking with its fists again although this time when it slams the ground the energy waves it creates can vary in height. In addition the boss may begin to spin creating a fiery tornado which initially spins around the arena forcing Kirby and co. to evade and then moves into the background where it begins firing off fireballs which explode upon hitting the arena. This phase also sees Wild'a'Beast generate energy chains from its shackles which it can use to whip the arena, not only dealing damage on contact but after a few seconds causing the point of impact to erupt with a geyser of energy that deals severe damage.
Meta Knight 		Meta Knight is encountered at the end of the third stage of Internal Intersection. Initially his fight appears very similar to previous encounters, Meta Knight's primary two attacks are either a single strike or series of three strikes with Galaxia. He may also charge up his sword and perform a spinning attack or when near the edge of the arena create a tornado that twists around the arena's foreground and background trying to scoop Kirby up. Meta Knight may also perform his shuttle loop attack, flying off-screen making predicting his appearances more difficult. One new addition to his moveset is his sidestep, among his usual fast but small movements forwards and backwards, Meta Knight may disappear into a flock of shadowy bats only to reappear somewhere else in the arena, this is telegraphed by the direction the bats begin flying off in. When in the background of the arena, Meta Knight may also spin into a tornado and attempt to sweep up Kirby and co. by flying into the foreground.
After taking some damage, Meta Knight will drive Galaxia into the ground, initially causing several fissures to form from the background into the foreground which erupt with violent energy. Meta Knight will then summon a new weapon, a Love-Love Needle. This second phase starts out similar to the first with many of Meta Knight's previous moves seeing an upgrade, his main attack is now a set of five strikes with the needle, although after the third strike if Kirby is in the opposite direction to Meta Knight he will actually turn around to try and catch the pink puffball off-guard. Meta Knight may also strike Galaxia from the background to cause more energy fissures, these alternate in a pattern of five and four respectively. When Meta Knight performs his twister attack it now summons two twisters instead of one which each move on their own path making them less predictable. Meta Knight gains a new attack in this form, performing a charging slash across the ground which causes the ground to erupt with energy as he moves across it, he finishes this attack by performing an uppercut when near Kirby so the player needs to keep their distance.
Love-Love Needle		The Love-Love Needle is the main structure causing havoc across Pop Star, Although much of the prior stages take place on the Love-Love Needle itself, the boss fight has Kirby going up against the core which appears as a large crystalline object with several discs of runic stones rotating around it generating strange energy. The fight initially begins with the Love-Love Needle's core analysing Kirby. During the first phase the boss will use a number of attacks similar to those seen by classical Kirby bosses, this includes summoning bouncing energy spheres which bounce along the arena similar to Whispy's fruit, creating a spiral of energy around itself similar to Kracko, creating an Energy Hammer which strikes the ground causing a shock wave similar to King Dedede and firing off slower moving energy spheres which split into groups of threes after a few seconds similar to Kabula's cannons.
After taking some damage, the boss retreats into the background, during the second phase each of the runic rings will begin rotating at a high velocity creating a magical portal that manifests a creature from Kirby's past. The first ring summons the Ice Dragon which attacks by breathing freezing ice at Kirby, flying by spinning its tail like a helicopter, slamming the ground creating shockwaves and summoning icicles to drop down as well as creating giant icebergs which it whacks across the arena. New to its attacks, the Ice Dragon will summons two giant icy pillars which Kirby must ascend as they move in on one another while avoiding getting squashed. The second runic stone ring summons Bohboh which attacks by attempting to grab Kirby with its talons before slamming him into the ground repeatedly, spinning around unleashing a flurry of fireballs which explode upon impact, flying into the background before attempting to charge at Kirby in a fiery rush, performing a diving attack which sets the area where it lands on fire for a few seconds and hitting its head on the ceiling causing fiery boulders to rain down from above. In addition, Bohboh can also engulf itself in flames and seemingly split into three large fireballs which bounce across the arena including both the foreground and background. The last of the three runic stone rings summons Sweet Stuff. Sweet Stuff mostly remains underneath the arena in a pool of water during the fight only periodically coming up onto the surface during its attacks making it difficult to hit, among its attacks Sweet Stuff can summon starfish which jump out of the water from the background in groups, Sweet Stuff can also unleash a flash of light just before an attack to disorientate the player, jump out of the water and bounce along the arena before diving back in, jump out of the water and hover in the air for a second before firing a bouncing beam of light which ricochets off the arena walls, follow Kirby under the water before lunging out of the water trying to swallow him whole which deals heavy damage if he's caught. Among Sweet Stuff's new attacks it will puff up and roll along the arena attempting to squash Kirby, it can also jump out of the water and cause its spines to explode similar to the Needle Copy Ability in the cardinal directions.
After defeating the three summoned Mini-Bosses by the Love-Love Needle, the core attempts to attack Kirby once more this time, primarily through its energy spheres. The Love-Love Needle core attacks by firing a volley of energy spheres which either slowly home in on Kirby or bounce across the arena in zig-zag motions. It can also move into the background and fire several energy spheres into the foreground in an attempt to bombard the player, it may also use the background to charge at Kirby, coating itself in a glowing energy as it does so. Love-Love Needle's other attacks in this phase have it summon a pair of energy spheres which rotate between the foreground and background creating an electrical field between them which Kirby and co. must jump over to avoid.
Chieberg 		Chieberg is a large yeti creature that resides within an icy cavern on the planet of Frostak. The boss fight against Chieberg mainly focuses on the momentum offered by the slippery surface of the arena as the battle occurs in a large ice bowl allowing Kirby and co. to slide around and giving Chieberg the low friction needed for some of his attacks. Chieberg's primary attack in his first phase is to slide around the arena on his belly, attempting to ram Kirby and co., although this attack starts out going from one end of the arena to the other it shifts into the foreground and background. Another attack Chieberg has is to body slam the ground, creating a shockwave which also causes icicles to form and fall from the top of the screen. Chieberg may also attack with claw strikes performing a single claw strike or a set of four strikes, when performing the latter the final claw strike is charged up releasing an energy wave.
After taking some damage, Chieberg retreats into the background and becomes enraged, picking up his club which was stuck in the ice. During this phase most of Chieberg's attacks involve his club, whether that's attempting to whack Kirby with it, creating shockwaves in the process, swinging around like a tornado around the arena at high speeds or slamming the ground repeatedly causing an avalanche of icicles to rain down from above. Chieberg also gains the ability to breathe ice in this phase, using the power to create spiky surfaces which persist for a few seconds which Kirby and co. must avoid, he may also spit an iceball at Kirby if the pink puffball is on the opposing end of the arena. As the phase progresses, Chieberg's club will become hollowed out eventually forming a tube once he's lost half of his remaining health.
Chieberg's final phase sees him shift to a more defensive style, instead of attacking Kirby directly he will attack from the background, summoning giant icicles with his icy breath, using his club as a horn to summon enemies to fight on his behalf and performing his tornado attack in a different attack pattern to his second phase. New to this phase, Chieberg may coat himself in ice forming a large icy wrecking ball which rolls around the arena, Kirby and co. may chip at the ball in attempt to break it, doing so will leave Chieberg stunned for a few seconds. Chieberg in this phase may also begin jumping up and down repeatedly creating shockwaves that travel across the arena.
Frizammoth 		A large woolly mammoth styled creature that initially appears to quite literally charge out of the glacier it was frozen in. Frizammoth is a boss encountered in the third stage of Northern Nights. Frizammoth's first phase involves fairly straightforward attacks with the beast charging wildly around the arena and heaving up giant clumps of snow with its tusks which its hurls at Kirby. It may also stamp its foot indicating a prolonged charge where it will wildly charge around the arena for several seconds before crashing into one end of the arena causing icicles to fall down from above. Its last attack during this first phase is one where it will appear to have trouble digging its tusks out of the snow, this results in it heaving a large snowball which rolls across the two ends of the arena multiple times gradually diminishing in size but also increasing in speed.
After Frizammoth has taken some damage, a pack of Jambelievers will appear, attaching a riding apparatus to the creature's back and controlling it with a pair of Love-Love Needles. During this phase, Frizammoth retains its charging attack however instead of digging its tusks into the ground it will instead hurl them like a pair of cutter blades which like Kibble Blade's own version of the attack will oscillate between the foreground and background as they traverse the arena. The Jambelievers will also throw spears at the player as well as snowballs which can be inhaled for the Spear and Ice Copy Abilities respectively. Frizammoth during this phase may also deliberately charge into a wall knocking the Jambelievers off its back, this causes icicles to again rain down from above but leaves Frizammoth stunned for a few seconds as the Jambelievers quickly wrangle back control.
Francisca 		Francisca is one of the three Mage-Sisters, she is a master of the aquatic being able to manipulate water in all its forms. Her battle sees her primarily using a battle-axe to attack Kirby and co. performing overhead swings which leave behind an icy after-effect as well as performing giant spinning strikes which cause Francisca to ricochet around the arena at an increasingly high speed before dizzying herself out. Francisca may also move into the background and turn her Battleaxe into a giant icy snowflake which she can control and move around the arena in an attempt to strike Kirby before pushing it into the foreground where it will attempt to charge at Kirby before reducing in size and returning to Francisca. Francisca may also perform a diving strike, hitting the ground with tremendous force creating an iceberg that erupts in front of where she struck. The iceberg will either disappear after a few seconds or Francisca will hit it causing it to spin across the arena before shattering against one of the walls of the arena.
After taking some damage, Francisca will up the ante, along with attacking more quickly she can now summon icicle spears which she can hurl at Kirby and co. and leave behind an icy trail of spikes making some of the ground inaccessible. When Francisca performs her snowflake attack, it will now generate two giant snowflakes instead of one although has a shorter chase period to compensate. Francisca may also use her magic to summon snowmen who reside in the background for several seconds hurling snowballs at Kirby which can deal minor damage leaving him open for Francisca to follow-up. Francisca may also now use her magic to summon pillars of water which can knock Kirby up into the air, these are either generated in multiple stationary spots on the arena or in front of her and oscillate in their height as they move across the arena. Another attack of Francisca's introduced in this phase is for her to create a tidal wave following her battleaxe swings, this wave must be jumped over to avoid it and is always generated on the last swing in her attack.
After taking even more damage, Francisca will shift into her third phase. This phase always begins with a new attack from Francisca in which she uses her magic to generate a field of steam which covers the arena obscuring the player's view only being able to see Kirby's silhouette. Francisca will attack from within the steam with a series of lunging charges from the background into the foreground, just as she's about to charge a flash of blue light can be seen through the steam warning the player. Francisca may also summon clouds during this phase which float at the top of the arena for a few seconds before unleashing a torrent of rain, completely blocking the player from moving past without getting damaged, this is usually done in tandem with another attack. Francisca may also interrupt her snowmen introduced in the previous phase, deciding to melt them turning them into watery creatures which charge into the foreground forcing Kirby and co. to jump over them. A new attack in this phase sees Francisca shift into the background before summoning four massive spears of ice which she hurls into the arena, after they crash, she melts two of the pillars creating a series of tidal waves which bounce between the remaining pillars before dissipating, she then turns the other two pillars into steam shifting the two clouds into opposing corners of the arena before refreezing them into a swarm of icy spears which she shoots across the top and bottom of the arena forcing Kirby to dodge in the middle. Among her attacks, Francisca will also chain her battleaxe swings into and out of more attacks, she will also perform a variant which is a short spin attack that doesn't ricochet her around the arena as well as an upward swing which can hit Kirby multiple times in its attack.
==Additional Modes==
===Choice Arena===
Choice Arena Bosses are grouped into sets, this mainly applies to Mid-Bosses but some regular Bosses are also included.
