Several things happened when we last left off Kirby and his friends. Kirby went to Flip Valley, met Watt, and battled Mimi, among all of the stuff that makes the Pooh's Adventures series look at least tolerable. The good news, however, is that we are now over halfway through the chapter, and that there are only three parts left until we can move onto Chapter Two!
Chapter one out of ??, part four out of six.
One lame intro later, the blue Star Kid gives Kirby a Defend Command while unfitting tropical music plays. I will note that this Star Kid... uhh... stutters a lot in a way that would even annoy The Annoying Orange (which, even though I hate The Annoying Orange a lot as well, makes me want to watch one of his videos all of a sudden). He Knows About Timed Hits as well, making the long and boring tutorial continue. However, this time he does something that's Beyond the Impossible even for this crossover: He refers to the "A" button. Now this is where this tutorial starts to go Up To Eleven, not only due to the fact that he is Breaking the Fourth Wall, but also because this isn't even a video game, it's a CLAYMATION. Ladies and gentlemen, this tutorial has officially crossed the line twice. Of course, this is also lampshaded. Back on task after this tutorial trash, the Star Kid states that the next Star Kid is somewhere in Dreamland, and ditches them so they we don't have any more annoying characters following them.
Kirby goes to Dreamland (which looks nothing like it does in the games, the anime, or anything else). To make things worse, our tutorial STILL continues, as well as some strange "gameplay". The reason why is because they tried to combine classic Kirby gameplay with Super Paper Mario gameplay- and failed miserably. Kirby also learns how to abuse PowerUps, but on the bright side, he gets to explore a bit! However, after having less than a minute of fun, Kirby reaches a dead end. This made me come up with a conclusion about Paper Kirby: the number one rule is to never have fun. To make things worse, a creepy set of subtitles- I mean a creepy voice gives Kirby some extremely dumb commands. Twink tells Kirby not to listen to it, noting the creepy background music. I now know for one that this place isn't the Dreamland I have known and loved where almost everyone is likable. Anyways, shattered Fourth Wall aside, we go back to the pink flowers, which is thankfully a Fast-Forward Gag. Kirby does exactly what the "voice" said, which unlocks a door by having it being drawn on the whiteboard combined with the magic of iMovie's default transitions. Of course, it was Schmuck Bait, according to a character who Talks Like a Simile. I'm guessing it's Dimentio. I get proven wrong, as The Subtitles actually came from Marx. (By the way, there's Freeze-Frame Bonus about four minutes and four seconds into the part which shows a subtitle that reads "I TOLD YOU SO".) Kirby is mad at this, while Watt asks who Marx is. Marx explains to Watt that Kirby is his good friend, and Kirby does nothing but keep standing in the exact same pose. Marx realizes that Kirby wants to fight, so he captures Watt by using his magical whiteboard powers because "two against one just wouldn't be fair". "Prepare to lose!!!" says Marx, and the battle begins.
Hello? Nothing's happening!
Marx: And what are you waiting for? An opening sequence?
Alright, now the battle begins, which is a Boss Battle which I would give strategies for if this was a video game, but since it's not, I do not care for. It is just an excuse to show off iMovie's default transitions in all of the wrong ways.
Thirty seconds later, Kirby wins yet again, Watt is freed, and Kirby escapes this White Void Room.
Kirby gets a lollipop, and Kirby runs through many enemies as possible while the animator shows his love of Sensory Abuse. He ignores the existence of this music once again, and uses to invincibility music from Super Mario Bros. is used instead. We all know this is filler, and Kirby continues to the next area.
Kirby sees Whispy Woods, because... well, he appears in almost every Kirby game out there. Twink questions why Kirby is staring at a tree, and is shocked to find out that Kirby has been life long rivals with him. Twink points out that it's pretty lame to have your Arch-Enemy be a tree, and Whispy kicks out Twink for this. Twink declares that it's on like Donkey Kong, (that's literally what she says), and Kirby challenges him to a battle. I swear, this is the 8th battle that has happened within the first hour of this, and Kirby has not even gotten to explore much yet!
Anyway, an average Whispy Woods battle occurs, and not much new happens. This is all just an excuse to squeeze in more of the long and boring tutorial which we all hate by now. Also, it should be noted that the whiteboard background is abused again when Kirby inhales. You have also got to love the look on Whispy's face when he gets angry.
Kirby wins yet again, and another Star Kid (this time, it's purple) is rescued. We also have the now-standard Happy Dance, YOU SAVED A STAR KID, and abrupt ending right afterward.
Where is the next Star Kid? Will the boring tutorial continue? Will the animator realize that this isn't a game? Find out next time, which will probably be when you least expect it!
