Kirby

Can you link that?

GOOEY TIME

I'd buy this asap if they added in a Hard Mode.

So primarily Whip, with a Parasol move, Fire's dash attack, and a unique flying attack. Looks pretty neat!

The staff ability plus an elemental power up is my weapon of choice for the Ultimate Choice (lol) mode. Great upward reach and that mid air multi-stab attack is something special. Rivals Fighter's angled down kicks for efficacy.

I forgot that Robobt ended with the attempted destruction of all life by a homicidal supercomputer.

Who the hell is the scenario writer for Kirby these days?

The ending is too sad for Kirby dangit.

That's just generally how Kirby games end. The final boss is always some kind of nightmarish abomination bent on destroying all of existence in stark contrast to the rest of the game up until that point.

That's how all Kirby games end from Adventure onward...

The only game exempt from this rule is the first one.

star dream wasnt nightmarish

it did want to destroy everything though

I think the horror is less Star Dream's appearance and more everything else about it. It's casual disregard for life, just how much sheer power it has at its disposal, the fact that it erased Haltmann's memories and soul...

...Star Dream is terrifying.

The part when it becomes a planet that can teleport and warp reality is kind of cosmic horror-esque.

And yet it loses one-on-one to the Combo Cannon.

Marx blogpost

Laying traps, running on water, sucking up enemies... Marx seems very versatile.

The really interesting thing is the last couple of notes at the end, though:

That "certain mode" is most likely Guest Stars. Also, new Stone transformations implies that the game will have post-release content. Maybe now's a good time to start clamoring for that Expansion Pack.

So, what 3 Dream Friends do we want playable in the next set? I want Kracko Jr, Dyna Blade chick (grown up a bit, so it looks like just a small Dyna Blade), and Susie in a miniature version of her mech.

Adeleine deserves to come back.

Adeleine with Artist set and Taranza with a modified Spider set are the two I care about the most.

Meta Knightmare Ultra in Robobot is way too easy.

It's not EX Mode...so of course it is.

Marx being a good guy is seriously setting off my sense of paranoia.

Compared to some of the other characters, he seems very powerful. He's got a lot less to do on the ground than in the air, though, which is an interesting flip on how the characters usually work.

Here's his description on the official website◊, for what it's worth.

I'm wondering if the next Kirby game will feature the return of lots of Kirby villains. Marx is back, Susie survived Robobot, and The Sisters apparently survive being sacrificed to Void Termina, on top of the latter's references to Dark Matter.

I suppose Magalor being a partner wouldn't be too far fetched, since he's making amusement parks now. And apparently villains and dead people aren't off the menu...Ribbon? Magalor? Galacta Knight?

I don't know if Marx being around is really canon, per se. I guess we'll find out maybe.
