History Awesome / Kirby

** Not only that, but he also seems to be a genius. With a few exceptions, he pretty much instantly [[InstantExpert masters any Copy Ability he gains, even if he has never seen it before.]] He also discovers items like the large rod that extends into the background and foreground and instantly knows how they work. [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot He masters alien technology within seconds of climbing into it, and he uses it well.]] Heck, in that game, at the end, he seems to be capable of [[spoiler: absorbing the entirety of the Battleship Halberd whilst Meta Knight was on top of it without harming either of them in the process.]]

* ''Kirby's Dream Land'' has an awesome ending, too. Kirby defeats Dedede, [[spoiler:TURNS INTO AN ENORMOUS BALLOON, and brings the food back to Dream Land.]] How awesome is that?

* After spending the whole game thinking Dedede's the BigBad, the player learns that [[spoiler:he had been trying to seal away Nightmare the whole time. Even after getting beaten into submission, he gets up shortly afterwards to try and stop Kirby from putting the restored Star Rod into the Fountain of Dreams, going so far as to be ''dragged'' across the ground part of the way there.]] As if this setting the tone for his behavior in the future wasn't great enough, he ends the scene in a somewhat badass way -- [[spoiler:He swallows Kirby and the Star Rod, then spits them back out, into ''space'', to deal with Nightmare.]] Ladies and gentlemen, ''the'' king of Dream Land.

* The ending was nothing short of memorable, if not counting as both awesome and heartwarming. [[spoiler:After Dark Matter transforms from a katana-wielding warrior into the one-eyed monster we recognize, Kirby fights him with the Rainbow Sword in outer space as they slowly descend into re-entry through Dreamland's atmosphere. Kirby defeats Dark Matter but seemingly passes out due to exhaustion. A cutscene shows Coo glimpsing a shooting star while the rest of Kirby's animal helpers watch the sky as somber/hopeful music plays, and even Dedede is shown wondering about the fate of our hero. Kirby wakes up, only to find out he has been floating down safely thanks to the power of the Rainbow Sword, which Kirby grabs and flies around with as day breaks and the credits roll. If played on the Game Boy, the streak of light that comes from the sword at the last moment appears as a rainbow. Cue end.]] The entire sequence can be seen [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vujwj1fFcIM#t=13s here]].

* Marx gets an ''amazing'' one. [[spoiler:After tricking Kirby into summoning Nova, he pushes him aside and wishes for control over Popstar.]] He then turns into an EldritchAbomination as a result and flies off, but not before sharing this tidbit with us:
-->I did it! [[JustAsPlanned It all went according to plan!]] [[spoiler:I got the sun and moon to fight. I got you to go into space]]... It was all according to my perfect little {{plan}}!
** So how did the Sun and Moon stop their fighting? When [[spoiler:Nova]] starts heading towards the planet, the Sun and Moon immediately stop their battle and work together to stop [[spoiler:Nova]] from destroying Popstar.
** Then Kirby assembles the Starship, and flies into [[spoiler:Galactic Nova]] through a level that plays like a ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}'' style shooter, destroys the craft, and crashes onto Popstar for a final, epic duel with [[spoiler:Marx]] to decide the fate of the planet.
* In Revenge of the King, [[spoiler:as he goes to the final stage, Dedede shoots him down with KABULA, a character who hadn't appeared in ''[[LongBusTrip OVER TEN YEARS,]]'' as Kirby falls down helplessly... and assembles the Starship out of the three Sparkling Stars he got before from the three previous bosses!]] Cue amazing shoot 'em up boss fight.

* Marx gets one of sorts... [[spoiler:He's killed after crashing into Nova, drifting through space, but his soul, out of anger and pure madness, absorbs the entire power of said wish-granting comet and resurrects as an even more monstrous EldritchAbomination just to kill Kirby at the top of the True Arena]].

* The final boss of ''Kirby 64'' was a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for both Ribbon and Kirby: [[spoiler:they face off against the [[EldritchAbomination embodiment of all evil]] together, armed only with the holy crystal of the fairies. Oh, and did I mention that Ribbon actually CARRIES Kirby throughout the whole battle? She doesn't even drop him if they get hit! Her wings expand to three times their size, just so she can carry our favorite pink hero! And afterwards, she [[SmoochOfVictory kisses him]], which causes him to swoon. (This is his only kiss with ANYONE in the whole series!)]]

* [[spoiler:[[DarkIsNotEvil Shadow Kirby]]]] gets a small one in the end. Having been just an occasional enemy that would sometimes attack you and generally perceived as evil, if you lose Meta Knight's sword during the really long [[SequentialBoss Sequential]] FinalBoss battle, he will go get it for you during the final battle.

* Any time you use one of the Super Abilities, this happens. However, late in the game, [[spoiler:you take Kirby through every single miniboss with the Ultra Sword, defeating them each in one hit]], and [[spoiler:a couple of the bosses are defeated with the Ultra Sword, and it is awesome whenever it happens]].

* [[spoiler:Speaking of that, 7-3 has you '''CUTTING A FREAKING VOLCANO IN HALF.''']]
* The Final Battle cut scene. Everyone is [[spoiler:riding dragons through a wormhole]], dodging energy balls shot by the BigBad, and Meta Knight is zipping around batting them away with his sword like they're nothing. He only [[spoiler:gets shot down]] when he flies in front of Kirby to protect him. And that's just the shoot 'em up phase. The real final battle has [[spoiler:Magolor]] using all sorts of magic against you, and the rematch has him juggling helpless Waddle Dees at you as well as having more powerful attacks, including the ''Super Abilities'' themselves!
* Kicking [[spoiler:Galacta Knight]]'s ass all over again in ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' as a BonusBoss is arguably the game's best moment. Especially as he uses a whole slew of more devastating attacks this time.

* Magolor gets one in the 20th anniversary collection. [[spoiler:After Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, and B.W.Dee kick his alien butt six ways to Saturday, not only does he ''survive'', he also manages to re-take the Lor and make it back to Popstar! Of course he's had a HeelFaceTurn, but surviving Kirby in general is no simple feat! Just ask Dark Matter, Marx, 0[[superscript:2]], Drawcia, or Sectonia!]]

* If you play Dededetour!, instead of [[spoiler:Queen Sectonia]], you face [[spoiler:a shadow version of Dedede and Dark Meta Knight]], the latter of whom is much more powerful than before.

* The Halberd has suffered from TheWorfEffect ever since it début, getting demolished in ''Super Star'', shot down in ''Brawl'', even the intro to ''Planet Robobot'' had the Access Ark one shot the battleship. [[spoiler:The final battle has Kirby scanning the entire ''Halberd'' to fight Star Dream, finally giving it the chance to show what it is truly capable of.]]
* And at the end of the fight, [[spoiler:Kirby ''still'' isn't done yet! In one last act of desperation, he uses the mech's [[ThisIsADrill drill]] and shatters through all of Star Dream's barriers before piercing through the machine itself! In other words, KIRBY JUST PERFORMED [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann THE GIGA DRILL BREAK]]!!!]]
* [[spoiler:Guess who came back in VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot as a boss in the Meta Knightmare Returns mode with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h92xPsy6X10 remixed theme]] to boot?]]
** [[spoiler: His intro in that fight is pretty badass too. Star Dream summons and unseals him him to test Meta Knight's strength... and Galacta Knight's first action is to ''cut a huge gash in Star Dream and critically damage it.'']] Keep in mind, it took [[spoiler: Kirby combining the Robobot armor with [[CoolAirship the Halberd]] in order to take Star Dream down, and even then, Star Dream took a lot of punishment before going down. Galacta Knight disabled it in one strike. [[OneWingedAngel Or]] [[TrueFinalBoss not...]]]]

* In the final championship battle, after Kirby and B.W.Dee beat [[spoiler:Dedede and one of his guards]], he says that this isn't over and then forces Kirby to fight him in a 3-on-1 battle. And when Kirby wins ''that'', [[spoiler:Dedede]] calls Kirby to go to the deepest part of the building, where he's waiting with [[spoiler:the [[HumongousMecha Dededestroyer Z]] as the FinalBoss.]] At first, there's nothing Kirby can do to harm it... until B.W.Dee comes to his aid by throwing a cannon onto the arena that Kirby can load with the Kirby copies that it summons. In the end, Kirby and B.W.Dee finally gets to eat the giant cake that is the tournament's prize.

[[AC:Videogame/KirbyStarAllies]]
* Star Allies gives us the final battle. [[spoiler: It turns out Kirby and his friends, christened the Star Allies, ride aboard a special wingpack made from the Warp Star, the four Heart Spears that sealed away the Jamba Heart that the Jambastions worshipped, and ThePowerOfFriendship. They ride off on the Star Allies Sparkler to chase the entity that emerged from the said heart; the god of destruction and implied origin of Dark Matter and the Master Crown, Void Termina. What follows is a long struggle that ends with Kirby and his friends getting into a BeamOWar with Void Termina's essence, overwhelming it with a loud shout of triumph and finishing it off with a final volley using the power of ''all'' the friends Kirby has made along the way, including Meta Knight, Dedede and even Marx and Dark Meta Knight.]]
* ''Star Slam Heroes'' is this from a conceptual standpoint. What do you do in it? Oh, nothing special, just '''''HITTING A FALLING METEOR BACK INTO OUTER SPACE WITH A BASEBALL BAT!''''' And as you do, it busts through several planets until finally stopping! If ''Planet Robobot'' referenced ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', then ''Star Allies'' just referenced the fourth episode of ''Anime/{{FLCL}}!'' Someone over at HAL Labs must be a huge fan of Creator/StudioGainax's work.
* When Ribbon is carrying Adeleine, the two of them use the Crystal as a weapon like what Kirby did against 0[[superscript:2]]. [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill Overkill?]] [[BlatantLies Nah, we don't think so.]]
* Daroach's Guest Star description has one. He and his fellow Squeaks have just heard of the Jamba Heart pieces and decided to go searching for them simply because they feel up to the challenge. Saving the world is just a bonus.
* The Picture Gallery may seem like a weird place for awesome moments, but there are two pictures that are undeniably cool. The first one is the anniversary picture that represents ''Kirby Super Star'', titled "Super Ultra Battle!", which depicts a 3-way fight between Kirby, Meta Knight, and Dedede with Marx, Masked Dedede, and Galacta Knight in the background. The second image was added during Wave 2 of the Dream Friends updates and is titled "Shadowy Partners", which depicts Dark Meta Knight and Daroach as BackToBackBadasses as they're surrounded by various enemies from the Jamba Heart cult, with the Jambandra Base looming ominously in the background.
* Each of the Dream Friend battles against Morpho Knight, even if their canonicity is debatable, have their own themes that take on a different meaning depending on who's fighting.
** Rick + Kine + Coo, Gooey, and Adeleine + Ribbon each get [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQdNK91PaLQ a remix]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CuRWUNUmv1c of their]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whj33FVu_AA respective]] {{Final Boss}}es. This ends up being a moment of awesome for Morpho Knight, as if he's not stopped here and now, he'll become just as big a threat to the galaxy as Dark Matter. It quickly turns into one for the respective Dream Friends when the music turns triumphant, usually into a remix of an overall happier tune, showing that Kirby's allies aren't backing down.
** Marx gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZ_aMSTv8dY a remix of his theme]], as if he's reminding Morpho Knight just who the real final boss is. And according to the Guest Star flavor text, he actually sensed the danger and fought on his own accord, supposedly cementing a HeelFaceTurn in the process.
** Dark Meta Knight gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0xJWiL9uDA a remix of his game's boss theme and Dark Mind's themes]]. To him, Morpho Knight is just another boss, yet it's abundantly clear that he could become just as bad as Dark Mind if left unchecked. And unlike Marx, Dark Meta Knight's motives are still unquestionably shady, meaning he's the only former antagonist so far who hasn't turned good.
** Daroach, meanwhile, gains a remix of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e3kivTFeVUw his own squad's theme]]. To the Squeaks, Morpho Knight is just the last obstacle in obtaining a legendary treasure, and Daroach is more than confident in his ability to take him down.

** In ''Videogame/SuperSmashBrosUltimate'', he's the ''only'' character to survive a world-shattering blaze of death lasers that kills every other character in the game, including legends such as Mario, Link, Sonic, Mega Man, Snake and a long list of others. Good going, Kirby.

* In ''Kirby 64'', what happens when you combine Spark with Cutter? Kirby gets a ''[[Franchise/StarWars DOUBLE BLADED LIGHTSABER!]]''

* ''Star Slam Heroes'' is this from a conceptual standpoint. What do you do in it? Oh, nothing special, just '''''HITTING A FALLING METEOR BACK INTO OUTER SPACE WITH A BASEBALL BAT!''''' And as you do, it busts through several planets until finally stopping! If ''Planet Robobot'' referenced ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', then ''Star Allies'' just referenced the fourth episode of ''Anime/{{FLCL}}!''

Someone over at HAL Labs must be a huge fan of Creator/StudioGainax[=/=]Creator/StudioTrigger.

* Kirby gets one at the end of ''Milky Way Wishes'' in ''Kirby Super Star''/''Ultra'', when Marx [[spoiler:tricks Kirby into awakening Nova, a mechanical comet with the power to grant wishes, and leaves Kirby for dead, in an attempt to take over Popstar. Kirby assembles the Starship, and flies into Galactic Nova through a level that plays like a ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}'' style shooter, destroys the craft, and crashes onto Popstar for a final, epic duel with Marx to decide the fate of the planet.]]
** He gets an even better one when, in Revenge of the King, [[spoiler:as he goes to the final stage, Dedede shoots him down with KABULA, a character who hadn't appeared in ''[[LongBusTrip OVER TEN YEARS,]]'' as Kirby falls down helplessly... and assembles the Starship out of the three Sparkling Stars he got before from the three previous bosses!]] Cue amazing shoot 'em up boss fight.
* King Dedede gets one when he teams up with Kirby in ''Kirby 64''.
** And how can we not forget the most epic quote in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''? When Kirby finally makes it to Dedede, who sent minion after minion -- even Bandanna Waddle Dee -- after him, he leads Kirby to his old boss arena, offers his old rival a Hammer to fight with, and then says this;
-->'''King Dedede:''' So you made it here. Now, arm yourself! Our grudge will be settled at last... (''puts on a metal mask as [[https://youtu.be/ugn2Ly8pQxk his new boss theme begins]]'')
-->'''Masked Dedede:''' Meet my powerful secret weapon -- '''[[SwissArmyWeapon the brand-new Dedede Hammer!]]'''
** What is possibly his greatest [=CMoA=] comes near the end of ''Kirby's Adventure''. After spending the whole game thinking Dedede's the BigBad, the player learns that [[spoiler:he had been trying to seal away Nightmare the whole time. Even after getting beaten into submission, he gets up shortly afterwards to try and stop Kirby from putting the restored Star Rod into the Fountain of Dreams, going so far as to be ''dragged'' across the ground part of the way there.]] As if this setting the tone for his behavior in the future wasn't great enough, he ends the scene in a somewhat badass way -- [[spoiler:He swallows Kirby and the Star Rod, then spits them back out, into ''space'', to deal with Nightmare.]] Ladies and gentlemen, ''the'' king of Dream Land.
* The final boss of ''Kirby 64'' was a CrowningMomentOfAwesome for both Ribbon and Kirby: [[spoiler:they face off against the [[EldritchAbomination embodiment of all evil]] together, armed only with the holy crystal of the fairies. Oh, and did I mention that Ribbon actually CARRIES Kirby throughout the whole battle? She doesn't even drop him if they get hit! Her wings expand to three times their size, just so she can carry our favorite pink hero! And afterwards, she [[SmoochOfVictory kisses him]], which causes him to swoon. (This is his only kiss with ANYONE in the whole series!)]]

* The ending of ''Dream Land 2'' was nothing short of memorable, if not counting as both awesome and heartwarming. [[spoiler:After Dark Matter transforms from a katana-wielding warrior into the one-eyed monster we recognize, Kirby fights him with the Rainbow Sword in outer space as they slowly descend into re-entry through Dreamland's atmosphere. Kirby defeats Dark Matter but seemingly passes out due to exhaustion. A cutscene shows Coo glimpsing a shooting star while the rest of Kirby's animal helpers watch the sky as somber/hopeful music plays, and even Dedede is shown wondering about the fate of our hero. Kirby wakes up, only to find out he has been floating down safely thanks to the power of the Rainbow Sword, which Kirby grabs and flies around with as day breaks and the credits roll. If played on the Game Boy, the streak of light that comes from the sword at the last moment appears as a rainbow. Cue end.]] The entire sequence can be seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vujwj1fFcIM#t=13s here]].
* Listing all of Meta Knight's awesome moments would be insanely difficult... But let's try anyway! Well, Meta Knight basically slaughters his way to Nova, the wish-granting comet, and asks for his wish. ''What is this wish?'' To put it bluntly, he unleashes a Godlike being that was sealed away due to being too powerful and '''proceeds to kick its ass in a way that would make Creator/ChuckNorris cry'''. Why? Partly because Meta Knight just wanted to become stronger and mostly for the sheer hell of it. If that's not badass, then nothing is.
** [[spoiler:And kicking his ass all over again in ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' as a BonusBoss is arguably the game's best moment]].
** [[spoiler:Guess who came back in VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot as a boss in the Meta Knightmare Returns mode with a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h92xPsy6X10 remixed theme]] to boot?]]
*** [[spoiler: His intro in that fight is pretty badass too. Star Dream summons and unseals him him to test Meta Knight's strength...and Galacta Knight's first action is to ''cut a huge gash in Star Dream and critically damage it.'']] Keep in mind, it took [[spoiler: Kirby combining the Robobot armor with [[CoolAirship the Halberd]] in order to take Star Dream down, and even then, Star Dream took a lot of punishment before going down. Galacta Knight disabled it in one strike. [[OneWingedAngel Or]] [[TrueFinalBoss not...]] ]]
* The Final Battle cut scene in ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand''. Everyone is [[spoiler:riding dragons through a wormhole]], dodging energy balls shot by the BigBad, and Meta Knight is zipping around batting them away with his sword like they're nothing. He only [[spoiler:gets shot down]] when he flies in front of Kirby to protect him. And that's just the shoot 'em up phase. The real final battle has [[spoiler:Magolor]] using all sorts of magic against you, and the rematch has him juggling helpless Waddle Dees at you as well as having more powerful attacks.
* [[spoiler:[[DarkIsNotEvil Shadow Kirby]]]] gets a small one in ''Amazing Mirror''. Having been just an occasional enemy that would sometimes attack you and generally perceived as evil, if you lose Meta Knight's sword during the really long [[SequentialBoss Sequential]] FinalBoss battle, he will go get it for you during the final battle. Even if it breaks during it (therefore reappearing in its place of origin).
* Marx gets one of sorts... [[spoiler:He's killed after crashing into Nova, drifting through space, but his soul, out of anger and pure madness, absorbs the entire power of said wish-granting comet and resurrects as an even more monstrous EldritchAbomination just to kill Kirby at the top of the True Arena]].

** So how did the Sun and Moon stop their fighting? When Nova starts heading towards the planet, the Sun and Moon immediately stop their battle and work together to stop Nova from destroying Popstar.
* Through the magic of FridgeBrilliance, there's a major CrowningMomentOfAwesome in ''VideoGame/KirbyCanvasCurse''. Consider the intro, where it says that the titular Power Paintbrush "is transported to '''you''' on a ray of light". '''''You''''' hold the stylus... I mean paintbrush. Now, think about the final battle, against Drawcia Soul. She is defeated by tapping the Para Matters she sends out with the stylus, and then when she moves into the foreground, simply poking her with said stylus until she is stunned, leaving her vulnerable. Kirby barely touches her at all except for the final blow, everything else he does is dodging her attacks. Now, put these two things together and what does it mean? '''''YOU''''' ''WERE THE ONE WHO DEFEATED DRAWCIA!'' '''''WITH HER OWN STYLUS!!!''''' Talk about involving the player in the game!
** The best part? It doesn't have to be Kirby to land the final hit. When she's in the foreground, tapping on her deals a little bit of damage. The result? If her HP is low enough, ''you can defeat Drawcia '''just by tapping on her with the stylus.'''''
* In ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'', any time you use one of the Super Abilities, this happens. However, late in the game, [[spoiler:you take Kirby through every single miniboss with the Ultra Sword, defeating them each in one hit]], and [[spoiler:a couple of the bosses are defeated with the Ultra Sword, and it is awesome whenever it happens]].

* In ''VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe'', in 6-3, we have [[spoiler:Hypernova Kirby '''SWALLOWING A TANK'''.]]
** The FinalBoss deserves a mention, thanks to its sheer tenacity in trying to kill Kirby... and that's even if you don't count the True Arena.
** If you play Dededetour!, instead of [[spoiler:Queen Sectonia]], you face [[spoiler:a shadow version of Dedede and Dark Meta Knight]], the latter of whom is much more powerful than before.
* Magolor gets one in the 20th anniversary collection. [[spoiler:After Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandanna Dee kick his alien butt six ways to Saturday, not only does he ''survive'', he also manages to re-take the Lor and make it back to Popstar! Of course he's had a HeelFaceTurn, but surviving Kirby in general is no simple feat! Just ask Dark Matter, Marx, 0[[superscript:2]], Drawcia, or Sectonia!]]
* ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' has Kirby driving a MiniMecha suit that can scan enemies like he inhales them, transforming into different modes based on his Copy Abilities.

** And at the end of the fight, [[spoiler:Kirby ''still'' isn't done yet! In one last act of desperation, he uses the mech's [[ThisIsADrill drill]] and shatters through all of Star Dream's barriers before piercing through the machine itself! In other words, KIRBY JUST PERFORMED [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann THE GIGA DRILL BREAK]]!!!]]
* Kirby himself is a big moment of awesome. His base description in ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot'' states he has "infinite power", and if that sounds like a joke, keep in mind: this is a character who can inhale his enemies and copy their abilities, has destroyed numerous [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]] and [[PhysicalGod Physical Gods]], AND can convert both living things and inanimate objects into beings WITH HIS ABILITY. Not only that, but [[DefeatEqualsFriendship he has also managed to successfully convert pretty much every reasonable and sapient enemy of his into an ally.]] He has EARNED his place as defender of Dreamland.
** Not only that, but he also seems to be a genius. With a few exceptions, he pretty much instantly [[InstantExpert masters any Copy Ability he gains, even if he has never seen it before.]] He also discovers items like the large rod that extends into the background and foreground and instantly knows how they work. [[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot He masters alien technology within seconds of climbing into it, and he uses it well.]] Heck, in that game, at the end, he seems to be capable of [[spoiler: absorbing the entirety of the Battleship Halberd whilst Meta Knight was on top of it without harming either of them in the process.]] He may make mistakes and let loose enemies every now and then, but he's not stupid.
** Also, the act of letting loose enemies is inherently ingenious. Because Kirby always takes care of them, so that they're out of the picture forever. Better have him do it than someone else weaker.
* Star Allies gives us the final battle. [[spoiler: It turns out Kirby and his friends, christened the Star Allies, ride aboard a special wingpack made from the Warp Star, the four Heart Spears that sealed away the Dark Heart that the Jambastions worshipped, and ThePowerOfFriendship. They ride off on the Star Allies Sparkler to chase the entity that emerged from the Dark Heart; the god of destruction and implied origin of Dark Matter and the Master Crown, Void Termina. What follows is a long struggle that ends with Kirby and his friends getting into a BeamOWar with Void Termina's essence, overwhelming it with a loud shout of triumph and finishing it off with a final volley using the power of ''all'' the friends Kirby has made along the way, including Meta Knight, Dedede and even MARX (After the DLC came out).]]
* Gameplay-wise, having Kirby [[MundaneMadeAwesome throw a key at a locked door instead of walking up to it is simply so cool-looking]] it ''will'' make you feel like a badass.
* Also for gameplay, if you're on Fire or are otherwise wearing a hat that's hazardous to yourself and other enemies -- like Needle or Beetle, since they're sharp -- you can have the enemies run straight into it for damage or an [[OneHitKill Insta-Kill]]. Can double as a CrowningMomentOfFunny.
* On [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming a more]] [[TearJerker somber note]], the end of ''Revenge of the King'' can be quite powerful. [[spoiler:King Dedede is shown walking in the sunset, sulking from yet another defeat from Kirby. And then a Waddle Dee is shown to be following him. And another one joins in. And another one. [[TrueCompanions And]] [[YouAreNotAlone yet another.]]]]
* In ''Kirby 64'', what happens when you combine Spark with Cutter? Kirby gets a ''[[Franchise/StarWars DOUBLE BLADED LIGHTSABER!]]''

** What is possibly his greatest [=CMoA=] comes near the end of ''Kirby's Adventure''.

* Marx gets an ''amazing'' one. [[spoiler:After tricking Kirby]] into summoning Nova, he pushes him aside and wishes for control over Popstar.]] He then turns into an EldritchAbomination as a result and flies off, but not before sharing this tidbit with us:

What follows is a long struggle that ends with Kirby and his friends getting into a BeamOfWar with Void Termina's essence, overwhelming it with a loud shout of triumph and finishing it off with a final volley using the power of ''all'' the friends Kirby has made along the way, including Meta Knight and Dedede.]]

* On [[CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming a more]] [[TearJerker somber note]], the end of ''Revenge of the King'' can be quite powerful. [[spoiler:King Dedede is shown walking in the sunset, sulking from yet another defeat from Kirby. And then a Waddle Dee is shown to be following him. And another one joins in. And another one. [[TrueCompanions And]] [[YouAreNotAlone And another.]]]]
