History Characters / KirbyMagolor

* BecomingTheMask: Throughout ''Return to Dream Land'', Magolor is overly friendly and chipper to the point where it's near-obvious an imitation being done by someone with no clue what it honestly is. Come his return in ''Dream Collection'' onwards, he returns to preaching friendship, albeit to a less-hammed extent, but this time it's genuine.
* {{BFS}}: He uses one in ''Star Allies'' in a similar vein to Kirby's Ultra Sword. Magolor's 2nd form (and Magolor Soul) uses a pair of them after he TurnsRed. The former is especially important, [[spoiler:considering it was just a simple sword before Mgolor infused his powers into it to create an Ultra Sword of his own and destroy the Master Crown with it.]]

* CoolCrown: The Master Crown, that he took from Landia. The crown changes in shape when he does, and it also grants him great powers... [[spoiler:at a [[BrainwashedAndCrazy dire cost]].]]

* DisneyDeath: Despite his soul disappearing by the second phase of his fight and his body then exploding upon defeat, [[spoiler:he survives, but is thrown into the depths of Another Dimension, with the Master Crown stealing his powers.]]

* EasilyForgiven: Despite having nearly tried to kill Kirby and conquer the whole universe, Kirby still thinks of him as a friend in ''Dream Collection''. However, it is implied that he was possessed by the Master Crown, (Later confirmed in ''Deluxe'') and thus wasn't in control of his actions. He still ends up building an amusement park as a token of apology, in any case.

* EvilCounterpart: Before his HeelFaceTurn, he was this to Elfilin. Both are kind hearted characters that meet Kirby after a portal related incident (The Lor Starcutter crashing into Dream Land for the former while the latter directly meets him after Kirby himself gets sucked into a portal in the Forgotten Land), become fast friends with him after Kirby volunteers to help them with what they want (Repairing the Lor Starcutter for Magolor while Elfilin wants to rescue all the Waddle Dees captured by the Beast Pack), and get possessed by the main villain that has portal hopping abilities (The Master Crown and Fecto Forgo/Elflis). However, while Elfilin is genuine in his intentions and friendliness, while getting kidnapped halfway through the game, Magolor's friendliness is a sham and uses Kirby to defeat the "evil" Landia after they arrived in Halcandra in the guise of one more favor so he can obtain the Master Crown itself since he couldn't get it the first time he clashed with Halcandra's guardian angel. Finally, Magolor resembles a cat while Elfilin resembles a mouse.

* {{Fauxreigner}}: [[spoiler:After over 11 years of fans taking his statement of being from Halcandra at face value, a new piece of dialogue in ''Deluxe'' has him admitting that he's not actually a Halcandrian - he ''did'' spend a long time alone in Halcandra, but merely as someone visiting and researching the area, and eventually found the Lor Starcutter by Haldera Volcano.]]

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Downplayed. While Kirby and friends don't ''hate'' Magolor by any means, ''Star Allies'' and some supplemental material suggests that they don't fully trust him whether it's due to his previous betrayal or due to his general mischievous behavior.

* HeelRealization: [[spoiler: His pondering over the course of ''Magolor Epilogue'' show the effects the Crown had on his mind wearing off, and while most of his ideas for how strong he's becoming are him begrudgingly admitting he has more productive avenues than conquest and mischief, his jump upgrades end with him understanding how his actions have alienated himself.]]
-->[[spoiler: ''"So much power! I'm finally flying high again! Now I can soar through endless skies with...my friends..."'']]
* HellGate: One of his attacks is to summon a massive, star-shaped black hole that will try to suck in Kirby. If they don't escape, they will take heavy damage before being launched out. [[spoiler:In Magolor Soul's True Arena fight in ''Deluxe,'' he summons ''two'' of them.]]

* HeroicWillpower: In ''Deluxe'', [[spoiler: after the Master Crown seemingly shrugs off all the harm done in its climactic battle with Magolor, Magolor doesn't run away to another world or seek out some underhanded means to prevail, like he did when he failed to defeat Landia. Instead, he draws the lone sword resting in the earth, pours all his magic into it, and stands his ground, putting aside all past cowardice and self-serving egotism for the sake of putting things right and cleaning up his mess once and for all.]]

* WalkingSpoiler: It's difficult to talk about Magolor without giving away the big twist of ''Return to Dream Land''.

* WalkingSpoiler: Just like Magolor, it's very difficult to seriously talk about it without mentioning its prominent role near the end of the game.

* BigBad: He's the true antagonist in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. [[spoiler:That is, until [[GreaterScopeVillain the Master Crown]] quickly usurps him once it takes over his body.]]
