* The 30th Anniversary Concert was a high energy two hours of awesome:
** Many songs were covered that were not expected, such as [[VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand2 Dream Land 2's]] grassland theme and [[VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad Squeak Squad's]] credits theme, and in general touched on at least one song from every mainline game over the course of the franchise.
** Much of the HAL Sound Team got together for a prerecorded segment of them performing a tribute to King Dedede's music over the years, topped with Kumazaki[[note]]Series main director and current voice of Dedede[[/note]] himself sliding in to perform the King's roars.

** Kumazaki following this up with a few live Dedede grunts
** Kumazaki getting to announce the release date for the upcoming [[VideoGame/KirbysDreamBuffet Dream Buffet]] game, as well as announcing an HD Remaster of the [[Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa anime]].

** Makiko Ohmoto singing Green Tree Memories live
** A surprise performance by Neichel [[note]]the in universe singer of "Welcome to the New World"[[/note]] singing live, including a duet with Makiki Ohmoto

* Meta Knight in ''Meta Knightmare Ultra'' basically slaughters his way (including thrashing his own Halberd) 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 proud'''! 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.

* King Dedede gets one when he teams up with Kirby in ''Kirby 64''.
* In ''Kirby 64'', what happens when you combine Spark with Sword? Kirby gets a ''[[Franchise/StarWars DOUBLE BLADED LIGHTSABER!]]''
* The final boss of ''Kirby 64'' was a SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome for both Ribbon and Kirby: 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!)

** Getting Mike Kirby is always a joyous occasion. What's more OP than having a SingleUse ScreenNuke? '''''How about 3?'''''

* 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 {{Eldritch Abomination}}s and {{Physical God}}s, 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.

*** Even when it was nerfed in Return to Dreamland, it's still an insanely OP ability that can either three-shot a boss or bring it down to half half in under ''two seconds'' if all 3 attacks connect.

* The ending was nothing short of memorable, if not counting as both awesome and heartwarming. 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]].

** Getting Mike Kirby is always a joyous occasion. What's more OP than having a SingleUse ScreenNuke? '''''[[UpToEleven How about 3?]]'''''

* The series has its moments, but above them all stands the ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' segment ''"Revenge Of Meta Knight"'' in its entirety. StormingTheCastle turned UpToEleven, reaching monumental levels. Seriously. And [[EnemyChatter you get to hear the bad guys]] becoming ''progressively more and more afraid of you'', as if you were the goshdang Batman, while you singlehandedly destroy a freakin' airship! '''''Hell yeah.'''''

-->'''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]]'')

** It's worth noting that when you fight him this time around, the bleachers are empty (save for [[UndyingLoyalty Bandana Waddle Dee]]). In ''Spring Breeze'', you fought King Dedede in front of a cheering audience. [[SmugSnake He was confident in his victory]], and that fight was [[JustToyingWithThem just him stoking his own ego]]. [[LetsGetDangerous He's not playing around anymore.]]

-->I did it! [[JustAsPlanned It all went according to plan!]] I got the sun and moon to fight. I got you to go into space... It was all according to my perfect little {{plan}}!

* In Revenge of the King, 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... 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.

[[caption-width-right:350: And trust me, there are a LOT more like these.]]

* The series has its moments, but above them all stands the ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStar'' segment ''"Revenge Of Meta Knight"'' in its entirety. StormingTheCastle turned UpToEleven, reaching {{HSQ}} levels. Seriously. And [[EnemyChatter you get to hear the bad guys]] becoming ''progressively more and more afraid of you'', as if you were the goshdang Batman, while you singlehandedly destroy a freakin' airship! '''''Hell yeah.'''''

* Meta Knight in ''Meta Knightmare Ultra'' basically slaughters his way (including thrashing his own Halberd) 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.

* After spending the whole game thinking Dedede's the BigBad, the player learns that 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 -- 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: 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!)

[[AC:Videogame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror]]

* 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!

[[AC:Videogame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand]]
* Any time you use one of the Super Abilities, this happens. However, late in the game, you take Kirby through every single miniboss with the Ultra Sword, defeating them each in one hit, and a couple of the bosses are defeated with the Ultra Sword, and it is awesome whenever it happens.
* Still in ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand''... 3:40 to 4:10 of this video (watch out: spoilers): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_5rb6sU7Mg
* Speaking of that, 7-3 has you '''CUTTING A FREAKING VOLCANO IN HALF.'''
* The Final Battle cut scene. Everyone is 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 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 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 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.

[[AC:Videogame/KirbyTripleDeluxe]]
* In 6-3, we have Hypernova Kirby '''SWALLOWING A TANK'''. And in 6-5 we have Hypernova Kirby swallowing minibosses, killing them instantly, and in the end, ''Flowery Woods'', from his canopy to his pollens, flowers, and even ''his health bar'' before his whole body is sucked in.
* 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 Queen Sectonia, you face a shadow version of Dedede and Dark Meta Knight]], the latter of whom is much more powerful than before.

[[AC:Videogame/KirbyPlanetRobobot]]
* The game has Kirby driving a MiniMecha suit that can scan enemies like he inhales them, transforming into different modes based on his Copy Abilities.
* The final normal level has you in Robobot Armor having a rematch against 3 of the 4 Holo Defense API's constructs, and later, after taking Jet Mode, flying around while bombarding multiple minibosses as if they were small fries.
* 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. 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, 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]]!!!
* 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?
** 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 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...]]
