Adeleine

Adeleine is a character in the Kirby series, making her official debut in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. She came to Planet Popstar to study art. Adeleine is a talented young artist that can paint pictures that come to life.

There is ambiguity surrounding the idea that Adeleine and Ado, a boss in Kirby's Dream Land 3, are the same individual; due to the similarities, "Ado" and "Adeleine" are covered here; this should not serve as a confirmation that Ado and Adeleine correspond to the same character (at least, in all instances).

Ado appears as the boss of Cloudy Park. During the battle, Ado stands safely behind her large, cloud-constructed canvas and paints enemies to attack Kirby. After Kirby defeats one of her drawings, she will get mad and make another. Her paintings are all bosses appearing in Kirby's Dream Land 2. They include Ice Dragon, Sweet Stuff, Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright, and Kracko respectively, none of which spawn enemies/obstacles that grant abilities. After Kirby defeats them all, Ado, now in a fit of rage, steps down from her canvas and attempts to attack Kirby by running around and flailing her brush back and forth. Once Kirby lands a single attack on her, Ado rolls off-screen, thus signifying Kirby's victory.

If all the Heart Stars are collected for Cloudy Park after the boss battle, Ado will become friendly and paint a randomly-selected drawing whenever Kirby enters her arena; these can be a pink Game Boy, a diamond ring, or a slice of Strawberry Shortcake. In Boss Butch, the cloudy battlefield becomes gray and stormy.

Ado appears during the credits alongside the rest of the game's bosses as they socialize with Kirby. The game ends with Ado dashing across the screen as she swiftly ends the game by painting the word "END" in bright colorful letters in the corner of the screen.

Adeleine appears in the second stage of the first level, Pop Star. She is simply painting a picture when a Crystal Shard falls next to her. She turns and picks it up, when Dark Rimura materializes on her easel and possesses her. Kirby, Ribbon, and Waddle Dee then arrive to find her possessed, and are forced to battle her. In this battle, Adeleine paints N-Z, Bronto Burt, Mariel, Mumbies, and a mass of jumbled pixels. After Kirby defeats one of her drawings, she will get mad and make another. After all of the enemies are defeated, Adeleine paints two stronger enemies; a drawing of Ice Dragon and a drawing of Dark Matter. After the Dark Matter drawing is defeated, Adeleine, now furious, jumps off of the stump and starts rapidly swiping her brush while charging at Kirby. She can be defeated in one hit.

Once Kirby defeats Adeleine and dispels Dark Rimura, she returns to normal and regains consciousness; she decides to tag along with Kirby, Ribbon, and Waddle Dee on their journey to reunite all of the Crystal Shards. She and the party are later assisted on their journey by King Dedede.

Throughout various levels of the game, Adeleine will appear and paint items for Kirby. If Kirby enters the area Adeleine is in with full life, she paints a 1UP, otherwise she paints a Maxim Tomato. She may also paint pictures to help Kirby solve puzzles so he can obtain a shard. In the game's true ending, she along with the rest of the party are awarded medals made from the Crystal for their heroism by the Fairy Queen.

Adeleine, along with the other three main characters, is also playable in the multiplayer mode of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.

Adeleine appears in Kirby Star Allies as one of the Dream Friends that came in the second update. She is paired up with Ribbon as a single Dream Friend in a similar manner to Rick & Kine & Coo. Adeleine can create paintings of past enemies and bosses and has a few moves from her boss fight.
