8	* During the final battle, Magolor attempts to actually ''block Kirby's Ultra Sword.'' Kirby wins the power struggle as before... and then hits Magolor. And again. And again. AND AGAIN. And then, to finish him off, Kirby lifts up the regular ultra sword, makes it grow ''HUGE'', and swings it in slow motion as the screen whites out...before floating to the ground, twirling his sword like a badass, and striking a pose. And then Magolor ''BLOWS UP.'' Deluxe adds the [[{{Kiai}} yell]] Kirby would do in later games' final boss finishers starting with ''[[VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot Planet Robobot]]'' to the initial struggle, making it even more awesome in that version.
9	** Then Magolor gets back up because of the Master Crown. Now with even more power in his repertoire, he showcases many destructive moves, including a giant laser, a black hole, and his own versions of the ''Super Abilities''. Kirby and co. eventually defeat Magolor after a hard struggle... but ''Kirby's Dream Collection'' later shows that ''he even survived '''that''', too!'' Sneaky as he is, he's one tough magician, for sure.
10	* The "Final Battle" cutscene. Magolor is throwing energy spheres at the crew as they ride Landia through space, and Meta Knight just bats them away with his sword like they're nothing. He even flies in front of Kirby to protect him before getting shot down.
11	* In the last leg of the last stage, you're given an Ultra Sword in a room filled with minibosses. As if [[CurbStompBattle effortlessly destroying almost every miniboss in the game]] wasn't awesome enough, to reach the Sphere Doomer interdimensional tunnel, you get to split a ''volcano'' in half. It also doubles as a SugarWiki/{{Funny Moment\|s}} if you're lucky enough for Kirby to use the giant fish or, to a lesser extent, the PaperFanOfDoom for it. Nothing is more glorious than seeing Kirby cut a volcano in half with a giant tuna or flimsy fan.
12	* A minor example of nostalgia from the last stage: at the very end of the stage, you can find a secret area containing stars by flying up above the stage exit door and entering the background planetoid as a door; exactly the same secret used in Bubbly Clouds, from the original ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand''.
13	* You also get to destroy a spacecraft while riding a dragon and destroy [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment a giant mecha piloted by a smaller mecha]]. Really, the second half of the game is just filled with moments of awesome.
14	* The first DiscOneFinalBoss Grand Doomer. This guy doesn't appear until after a VictoryFakeout and gets his own boss theme that is nothing short of epic. You beat down the usual two phases each boss has had up to this point when he shields himself and starts summoning enemies. In the second set of them he spawns, you can get the Ultra Sword. Get it, and a fast paced remix of the Super Ability theme starts playing as you destroy the rock shield, slowly cracking it until it's completely gone. After four hits, you use the Ultra Sword one last time to finish him off in a five hit combo.
15	* In Extra Mode, the bosses are all upgraded by having more health and stronger, upgraded attacks, but are relatively unchanged. Except for the Metal General, who starts out this way... then reveals that it found a HumongousMecha that resembles the Dedede Robo from ''Kirby GCN'', at which point you fight two more health bars to take them down in a very impressive reference to ''Kirby 64''.
16	* The OptionalBoss: You get to fight Galacta Knight, the greatest warrior in the galaxy, ''again'', and he's more powerful than before. Even better, if you have three friends, you can gang up on him with a four-on-one; a whole eight years before ''VideoGame/SuperKirbyClash'' did it!
17	** Even more than that, the start of the battle uses "[[SadBattleMusic Guardian Angel: Landia]]". Then, once you halve his health, the familiar EpicRiff begins and [[TheGlovesComeOff Galacta Knight comes at you with everything he has]].
18	** ''Deluxe'' features a little easter egg that's sure to get any player even more pumped up for the fight. If Player 1 has selected Meta Knight or Dedede as their character, then "Guardian Angel: Landia" gets replaced with "[[VideoGame/KirbyFightersDeluxe Stage of the Partners Who Shook the Heavens]]". The game is giving the player their own ThemeMusicPowerUp before Galacta Knight's kicks in!
19	* Awesomeness kicks in when you perfect the "Samurai Kirby 100" subgame in ''Deluxe''. The player's Kirby ''LITERALLY blasts through the other Kirbys!''
20	* ''Deluxe'' features a brand new TrueFinalBoss: a new, even stronger version of Magolor Soul in the True Arena, turning the original from what some deemed underwhelming and completely overhauling it into an absolute '''BEAST''' of an end boss. His attacks are even more extreme or used completely differently in a way that makes it harder to get breathing room...and then you realize his health is ''doubled''. You empty out his health bar, him seemingly never using his Super Abilities this time...but then his eyes go out. The mouth eye shows up. He screeches in fury, ''[[SequentialBoss a second health bar filling!]]'' Now you have his second phase with a complete health bar rather than half, ''plus'' even more attacks that incorporate Sand and Mecha which are also implied to be the ''Super'' version of those abilities. '''''THAT''''' is how you undo an AntiClimaxBoss!
