History YMMV / KirbyMassAttack

* BizarroEpisode: 4-10 and 4-11. In Volcano Valley, a fire-haunted area, we have [[spoiler: chasing after a switch taken by astronaut monkeys, buliding a spaceship from a puzzle, Space Is An Ocean, monsters that create black holes, gravity switches in another space station run by said monkeys...]]

* CompleteMonster: Necrodeus, no doubt. Reason? He crosses the MoralEventHorizon by [[NightmareFuel NEARLY KILLING Kirby at the beginning of the game]], first by splitting him into ten smaller, weaker versions of himself and then murdering nine of the ten, leaving only one to escape this massacre by literally following his heart.

** Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright in Strato Patrol EOS. It's a DualBoss where you have to deal with Mr. Bright firing rather big lasers at you or giant circles of energy at you while Mr. Shine becomes invincible and spins throughout the room. Oh, and if you kill Mr. Bright, Mr. Shine proceeds to ''revive him''. Meta Knight later on is also pretty tough, especially when he charges throughout the room. And you fight [[spoiler: Nightmare]], the FinalBoss, immediately afterwards.

* BreatherBoss: The second world's boss, which is just insultingly easy after the hassle of getting the gold star from Whispy Woods in the previous level.

* ThatOneBoss: Some players agree that some of this game's bosses are so damn hard it's not even funny. Flinging Kirbys at underwater moving objects that are spiky almost all over requires some dexterity.

** Level 4-9: This is the last level for a very good reason, as it's the single hardest gold star in the entire game to get and hard enough just to beat normally. It starts in a graveyard with three familiar pictures on the graves you pass. You eventually reach a fourth gravestone with a new image on it and push it aside to reveal a passage that leads into a room under the first three tombstones you passed and see three doors as well as a fourth door that's locked until you investigate the first three doors. In each door is [[spoiler: [[BackFromTheDead a boss that you previously defeated]] [[BossRush which include the giant worm, the ancient gear, and the wooden fish]] [[OhCrap (in toxic water no less, which causes you to lose your air twice as quickly),]] [[ThisIsGonnaSuck all resurrected and even stronger than before.]]]] After you go through all three doors and open the fourth door to reach the exit, [[spoiler: [[ThatOneBoss you are attacked by the boss of this area, whose picture was on the fourth grave outside. This boss is a giant bat who is almost impossible to beat without getting hurt, even with lightning fast reflexes and thanks to FakeDifficulty, landing the final hit on him without getting hurt is basically a game of luck.]]]] Getting this gold star will probably take many tries even if you ''are'' skilled, but if you can pull this one off, you can get all of the other gold stars easily.

* ScrappyMechanic: In this game Kirby has a limited air meter for breathing underwater that must be replenished with air bubbles which probably doubles as a ShoutOut to ''{{Sonic The Hedgehog}}''. Yes, this is as annoying and frustrating as it sounds, [[spoiler: [[ItGotWorse and it gets even worse later when you have to swim in toxic water that drains your air meter twice as quickly.]]]]

** Level 3-6: This level is ''very'' long with tons of enemies, and is ''very'' easy to hit while trying to play through it. [[ItGotWorse And it only gets worse]], as it has a difficult underwater boss fight at the end. [[ScrappyMechanic Keep in mind that this is one of the only times Kirby has a limited air meter for breathing underwater that must be replenished with air bubbles.]] [[OhCrap and you'll realize the hardest part of this whole ordeal.]]

* ThatOneSidequest: Completing all of the list objectives with "Gold Star Champion" standing out as the toughest one due to the fact that you have to beat each level and the bosses [[NoDamageRun without getting hurt]] to get all of the gold stars.

* ThatOneLevel: For anyone playing this game and trying to get OneHundredPercentCompletion which has a task of beating each level and the bosses [[NoDamgeRun without getting hurt]] to get all of the gold stars, you should know or remember these levels:
** Level 3-6: This level is ''very'' long, and is ''very'' easy to hit while trying to play through it. [[ItGotWorse And it only gets worse]], as it has a difficult underwater boss fight at the end.

* ThatOneBoss: Some players agree that some of this game's bosses are so damn hard. Flinging Kirbys at underwater moving objects that are spiky almost all over requires some dexterity.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[AwesomeMusic/{{Kirby}} As per Kirby tradition]]. What's surprising is that several tracks from ''Kirby Air Ride'' were remixed.
** Not a surprise when you know the composer for this game also did a majority of the music for ''Air Ride'', as well as ''Kirby Squeak Squad''.
* FridgeHorror: In this game, Kirby dies. A lot. And being split into ten Kirbys, he also gets to ''watch himself die'' repeatedly, sometimes in quite gruesome ways. Imagine watching yourself get crushed, incinerated, mangled by machinery, eaten by monsters...the list goes on, and it just keeps happening, again and again. This could be the darkest game in the entire series.
** This doubles as TearJerker when you're brought to the game over screen if your whole Kirby platoon gets wiped out by a boss.

* ThatOneBoss: Some players agree that some of this game's bosses are so damn hard. Even Whispy got new tricks and attacks that made him harder to beat than usual, but fortunately he still isn't ThatOneBoss.

** This doubles as TearJerker when you're brought to the game over screen after your whole Kirby platoon gets wiped out by a boss.

* TearJerker: When any of your kirbies die, they turn grey, get angel wings and halo and float away and if you don't catch them quickly enough, you'll lose them and have to grab more fruit just to get them back. That's not all bad, but seeing all of the Kirbies you've gathered over the past levels get beaten by a boss and float away can be pretty heartrending.

** Not really a surprise, considering that the composer for this game also did a majority of the music for ''Air Ride'', as well as ''Kirby Squeak Squad''.

* CompleteMonster: Necrodeus. Split Kirby into ten smaller versions of himself and tried to kill all of them (one of which escaped, of course). Yep, you can't look any farther than this guy.

* MoralEventHorizon: Again, Necrodeus crosses this. See CompleteMonster section above.

** Not really a surprise, considering that the composer for this game also did a majority of the music for ''Kirby Air Ride'' and ''Kirby Squeak Squad''.

* AndTheFandomRejoiced: Remember the Sailor Waddle Dee from KirbySuperStar that many thought [[TearJerker had succumbed to a watery grave]] at the end of ''Revenge of Meta Knight?'' Well, in this game, [[NotQuiteDead guess what]]?

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[CrowningMusic/{{Kirby}} As per Kirby tradition]]. What's surprising is that several tracks from ''Kirby Air Ride'' were remixed.

* CrowningMusicOfAwesome: [[CrowningMusic/Kirby As per Kirby tradition]]. What's more surprising is that several tracks from ''Kirby Air Ride'' were remixed.

* CompleteMonster: Necrodeus. Split Kirby into ten smaller versions of himself and killed nine of the ten Kirbys (one of which escaped, of course). Yep, you can't look any farther than this guy.
