Jelly Marx

**Jelly Marx** is a boss and the main antagonist of the 2021 April Fools release of *Kirby Gamble Galaxy Stories*.

## Profile

### Appearance

Jelly Marx has the appearance of a deformed Marx made of candy. He has once been referred to as "marx[sic] with gmod[sic] resize tool" by Strimp.

### Personality

Jelly Marx, like Frosty and Kaabi, is confident in his abilities and challenges Kirby to battle him. He also speaks and laughs loudly, not unlike Frosty. After Goldenangel is defeated, he reveals his true nature: a malevolent being bent on conquering the universe.

### Abilities and Powers

Jelly Marx was only seen capable of making energy balls rain from the sky. However, according to post-final boss dialogue, Marx is stronger than he actually looks, and is apparently powerful enough to conquer universes and timelines.

### *Kirby Gamble Galaxy Stories - April Fools 2021*

Jelly Marx is the boss encountered at the end of his stage, Candy. After Kirby and Gamble venture through an unusually short candy-themed stage, Jelly Marx appears and challenges Kirby to come and defeat him. After his, Kaabi Dollars' and Frosty The Snowgentleman's defeat, Discourse Tower is unlocked. Following the Cosmic Fluxbender's defeat, Marx is revealed to be the true mastermind and laughs as he is about to conquer every universe and timeline while Kirby and Gamble are stuck in the Discourse Tower.

#### Battle

During Jelly Marx's boss battle, he remains stationary while energy balls rain from the sky if Kirby approaches the top of the screen. Inhaling the energy balls and spitting them back out at Marx is the main way of beating him. Slides and air bullets can also be used to defeat him, but takes much more time. The Beam Copy Ability, which is only found in City and Green Greens, is an effective way of getting rid of him.

### *Kirby Gamble Galaxy Stories - Beta VIII*

Jelly Marx debuts in *Kirby Gamble Galaxy Stories - Rewritten Beta VIII* as an easter egg. When getting a Game Over, there's a chance a cutscene accompanied by Jelly Marx and the phrase "You just got Jelly Marxd" plays.

### *Kirby Gamble Galaxy Stories - Beta XII*

*Kirby Gamble Galaxy Stories - Rewritten Beta XII* introduces 3 new Stone transformations to the game, one being a Jelly Marx statue.

### Discord

Two stickers of Jelly Marx was made available for use in the Team Gamble Discord server and other servers for users with Discord Nitro access, one depicting his original sprite and the other depicting him having a "confused" expression. The latter, alongside the ones of Kirby, Gamble, Gooey, Sailor Waddle Dee, Magolor, Mystic Doo, Poppy Bros. Jr., Phil, Wizzkid and the Cosmic Fluxbender, were designed by Diamond.
