**"Those Shooting Star Scoundrels should just be lucky that I didn't leave them in the cutting room floor!"**- King Dedede

## Plot

Copy Ability/Special Weapon: N/A

Monster/Guest Star Robot Master: N/A

One day, Serena is showing off a flipbook she created to her friends, reminding King Dedede (who is spying on the Srikers) of the old animation of him jumping rope. He showed the animation to Dr. Wily, which gives him and his posse the idea to re-open his animation studio.

Later, Dedede placed an advertisement of his studio in Cappy Town, which attracts the Shooting Star Strikers as well as various Robot Masters and Cappies.

After showing everyone in the studio a storyboard of the script, a bunch of Robot Masters started drawing Dedede. However, nobody can get it right so Tiff and Quake Woman became animation supervisors with Pump Man while Metal Man and Air Man shows Dedede various parts of the studio. Including a colour-filling room, a background room, a camera room and a roll-testing room.

Despite this, Dedede still wants the Shooting Star Strikers removed from his show so that night, when everyone in the studio is sleeping, Dedede and his men snuck into the studio and replaced all the sketches of the Shooting Star Strikers with their very own sketches.

Later, Dedede informs Wily that he needs more time. But Wily replies that if his show doesn't air on schedule, he'll get cash back. Upon seeing how much he'll pay Wily, Dedede forces everyone in the studio to continue working. However, the cartoon still isn't done so Dedede had a word with Wily, who
