*TheSociopath: [[spoiler:After he is revealed as the main antagonist of the game, he is apparently this: when all the pieces come together he is seen as sadistic, cruel, uncaring, manipulative, a consummate liar and traitorous, masking his true intentions with a fake personality.
After obtaining the Master Crown, he tries to kill Kirby and his friends and then take over the universe. Subverted as his betrayal actually twisted his body into becoming an abomination and plunged his soul into utter and insurmountable depression, making him think about his betrayal of Kirby and regretting every second of it, even screaming the name of the pink hero as he apparently dies. In the sequel, Kirby's Dream Collection, Magolor expresses his regret for everything he has done, all while building an amusement park as a way to ask for forgiveness.]]

Changed line(s) 36 (click to see context) from:
* BreakoutCharacter: Despite being intended as just a OneShotCharacter and seemingly dying at the end of ''Kirby's Return of Dream Land'', Magolor's popularity led to him making many appearances in official spin-offs and merchandise, even in material otherwise showing the core four of Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Dee. This shows in the game’s remake, ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', where his role is vastly expanded on, as there is a brand-new minigame side mode that he is the host of, a new Helper Magolor option that allows him to assist Kirby in stages by saving him from pits and doubling his health, and a post-game adventure featuring Magolor as the ''sole'' playable character, detailing his survival and what happened to him after his defeat.

!!Lor Starcutter
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krtdl_lor_starcutter.png]]
Magolor's spaceship. At the start of the game, it crashes onto Dream Land, scattering its five parts and many Energy Spheres across Planet Popstar. Kirby and his friends offer to help, traveling across Popstar to find the missing parts.
-----
* BattleBoomerang: Its wings can be weaponized like this.
* BigDamnHeroes: After the fight with Magolor, the Lor arrives alongside Landia to save the heroes from the crumbling arena and return them home at the end of the game.
* BlowYouAway: Its mast is capable of shooting a tornado while spinning around.
* BroadStrokes: The plot of ''Return to Dream Land'' reveals that the Lor was a ship built by the Halcandrians and therefore doesn't actually belong to Magolor, implying that he took the ship for himself at some point before the story. At the end of the game the Lor sets off by itself with Landia (an actual Halcandrian) after Magolor's defeat, but is still manned by Magolor in other Kirby games as the ship and the character are already heavily associated with one another.
* BulletHell: During the battle involving it, it can easily unleash dense storms of star bullets, especially after it TurnsRed.
* CallBack: In the second phase, it may go into the background and fire multiple red star projectiles from its emblem, much like Zero could in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3.''
* TheCameo:
** It appears as a trophy in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.
** It appears in ''Planet Robobot'' in [[spoiler:the battle against Galacta Knight; when he does his dimensional laser attack, the Lor may sometimes be seen drifting slowly in the dimensional rift.]]
** It can occasionally be seen flying in the fourth world of ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', Far-Flung - Starlight Heroes.
* CoolAirship: Magolor says that it's made by the same ancient people who made the Star Rod and the "clockwork stars". It can fly at high speed and cross dimensions, for one.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: In the most literal way possible. It's debatable whether it's actually a villain, since it's a ship (albeit implied to be a sentient one), but after spending the whole game repairing it, Magolor sics it on you just before the final battle. It even uses the parts that you collected to attack!
* DarkIsEvil: When it becomes controlled by Magolor to fight Kirby and co. near the end of the game, it takes on a darker color scheme. Its EX form upgrades this into RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
* DubNameChange: Roah in Japanese - a play on Magolor's Japanese name (Mahoroa), and [[TheArk Noah's Ark]].
* EnergyBall: It can attack by shooting large balls of energy. Blue ones simply moves forward while red ones are {{Homing Projectile}}s. Exclusive to Lor Starcutter EX, it fires yellow orbs that swoop from the background.
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: Lor EX's pause menu description says that it sensed something was wrong with Magolor from the moment they met. Sure enough, Magolor wants to use the Master Crown to [[GalacticConqueror rule the universe]].
* FightingFromTheInside: The pause description in ''Deluxe'' for the Lor EX fight implies that the Lor has been holding back its true power since it became Magolor’s possession, and wanted to be stopped once Magolor stole the crown.
* HubLevel: For ''Return to Dream Land'', where it houses the Copy Ability rooms, the Challenge rooms, and the minigames, though the latter can also be accessed from the main menu.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Aside from its boomerang-wings, it can also shoot its oars at its enemies.
* LightIsGood: It is a blue and white interdimensional ship, and whether or not it is a SentientVehicle, it does show up to save Kirby and his friends after they defeat Magolor at the end of the game.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: In ''Star Allies'', Magolor can summon it to perform a powerful ramming attack that can also destroy certain blocks. It will also do this as a boss, surrounding itself with a spherical shield before flying straight at you.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: As Lor EX in Extra Mode, its color scheme of various shades of blue is changed to be full of black and various shades of red.
* SentientVehicle: Magolor implies that the ship has a mind of its own. If it's true, the fight against the Lor where Magolor controls it implies that the ship is BrainwashedAndCrazy. The pause descriptions go even further, with the original Lor fight speculating on what it would feel in the moment and Lor EX outright saying it knew something was wrong with Magolor. In the end of the game, after Magolor is defeated, it and Landia bring Kirby and co out of the dimension they're in before the portal to Popstar closes.
* ShoutOut: The symbol on the mast looks an awful lot like [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory the Dark Star]]. Even more, in EX mode, it looks like the Dark Star X, the Dark Star's OptionalBoss PaletteSwap.
* StarPower: The star emblem at its front can fire star shots.
* UnexpectedShmupLevel: Interesting case here. Most ''Kirby'' Shmup levels have you riding/using the item you've assembled during the game in order to fight a foe who has only recently been revealed (Or only recently shown to be an enemy, at least). This fight inverts it, by having you ride on the previous boss and [[CreateYourOwnVillain fight against the item you assembled during the game]]!
* WalkingSpoiler: Just like Magolor, it's very difficult to seriously talk about it without mentioning its prominent role near the end of the game.
* WillfullyWeak: It can easily fly to faraway paradises, but it refuses to use this power under Magolor's control because it wants someone to stop his plans of [[GalacticConqueror universal domination]].

!!Lor Starcutter
!!!'''Debut:''' ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand''
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/krtdl_lor_starcutter.png]]
Magolor's spaceship. At the start of the game, it crashes onto Dream Land, scattering its five parts and many Energy Spheres across Planet Popstar. Kirby and his friends offer to help, traveling across Popstar to find the missing parts.
-----
* BattleBoomerang: Its wings can be weaponized like this.
* BigDamnHeroes: After the fight with Magolor, the Lor arrives alongside Landia to save the heroes from the crumbling arena and return them home at the end of the game.
* BlowYouAway: Its mast is capable of shooting a tornado while spinning around.
* BroadStrokes: The plot of ''Return to Dream Land'' reveals that the Lor was a ship built by the Halcandrians and therefore doesn't actually belong to Magolor, implying that he took the ship for himself at some point before the story. At the end of the game the Lor sets off by itself with Landia (an actual Halcandrian) after Magolor's defeat, but is still manned by Magolor in other Kirby games as the ship and the character are already heavily associated with one another.
* BulletHell: During the battle involving it, it can easily unleash dense storms of star bullets, especially after it TurnsRed.
* CallBack: In the second phase, it may go into the background and fire multiple red star projectiles from its emblem, much like Zero could in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3.''
* TheCameo:
** It appears as a trophy in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.
** It appears in ''Planet Robobot'' in [[spoiler:the battle against Galacta Knight; when he does his dimensional laser attack, the Lor may sometimes be seen drifting slowly in the dimensional rift.]]
** It can occasionally be seen flying in the fourth world of ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', Far-Flung - Starlight Heroes.
* CoolAirship: Magolor says that it's made by the same ancient people who made the Star Rod and the "clockwork stars". It can fly at high speed and cross dimensions, for one.
* CreateYourOwnVillain: In the most literal way possible. It's debatable whether it's actually a villain, since it's a ship (albeit implied to be a sentient one), but after spending the whole game repairing it, Magolor sics it on you just before the final battle. It even uses the parts that you collected to attack!
* DarkIsEvil: When it becomes controlled by Magolor to fight Kirby and co. near the end of the game, it takes on a darker color scheme. Its EX form upgrades this into RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver
* DubNameChange: Roah in Japanese - a play on Magolor's Japanese name (Mahoroa), and [[TheArk Noah's Ark]].
* EnergyBall: It can attack by shooting large balls of energy. Blue ones simply moves forward while red ones are {{Homing Projectile}}s. Exclusive to Lor Starcutter EX, it fires yellow orbs that swoop from the background.
* ExcellentJudgeOfCharacter: Lor EX's pause menu description says that it sensed something was wrong with Magolor from the moment they met. Sure enough, Magolor wants to use the Master Crown to [[GalacticConqueror rule the universe]].
* FightingFromTheInside: The pause description in ''Deluxe'' for the Lor EX fight implies that the Lor has been holding back its true power since it became Magolor’s possession, and wanted to be stopped once Magolor stole the crown.
* HubLevel: For ''Return to Dream Land'', where it houses the Copy Ability rooms, the Challenge rooms, and the minigames, though the latter can also be accessed from the main menu.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Aside from its boomerang-wings, it can also shoot its oars at its enemies.
* LightIsGood: It is a blue and white interdimensional ship, and whether or not it is a SentientVehicle, it does show up to save Kirby and his friends after they defeat Magolor at the end of the game.
* RammingAlwaysWorks: In ''Star Allies'', Magolor can summon it to perform a powerful ramming attack that can also destroy certain blocks. It will also do this as a boss, surrounding itself with a spherical shield before flying straight at you.
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: As Lor EX in Extra Mode, its color scheme of various shades of blue is changed to be full of black and various shades of red.
* SentientVehicle: Magolor implies that the ship has a mind of its own. If it's true, the fight against the Lor where Magolor controls it implies that the ship is BrainwashedAndCrazy. The pause descriptions go even further, with the original Lor fight speculating on what it would feel in the moment and Lor EX outright saying it knew something was wrong with Magolor. In the end of the game, after Magolor is defeated, it and Landia bring Kirby and co out of the dimension they're in before the portal to Popstar closes.
* ShoutOut: The symbol on the mast looks an awful lot like [[VideoGame/MarioAndLuigiBowsersInsideStory the Dark Star]]. Even more, in EX mode, it looks like the Dark Star X, the Dark Star's OptionalBoss PaletteSwap.
* StarPower: The star emblem at its front can fire star shots.
* UnexpectedShmupLevel: Interesting case here. Most ''Kirby'' Shmup levels have you riding/using the item you've assembled during the game in order to fight a foe who has only recently been revealed (Or only recently shown to be an enemy, at least). This fight inverts it, by having you ride on the previous boss and [[CreateYourOwnVillain fight against the item you assembled during the game]]!
* WalkingSpoiler: Just like Magolor, it's very difficult to seriously talk about it without mentioning its prominent role near the end of the game.
* WillfullyWeak: It can easily fly to faraway paradises, but it refuses to use this power under Magolor's control because it wants someone to stop his plans of [[GalacticConqueror universal domination]].

But his introduction, and him pretending to be the BigGood only to betray the heroes and reveal he was using them to become a GalacticConqueror, marks a turning point where the stories of each game would not only become more involved and dramatic, tackling darker subjects like grief and descent into madness, but would extensively reference past games as well, creating a surprisingly intricate lore.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/ksa_magolor_artwork_3.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Magolor when in charge of the Shoppe]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magolor_super_kirby_clash.png[[/labelnote]]]]
->''"I will show you the power of Best Friends!"''
A friendly-looking alien who crash-landed on Planet Popstar with his ship, the Lor Starcutter. Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee volunteered to help him recover the parts that broke off the ship. Near the end of the game, he reveals himself to be the BigBad of the story, having tricked the quartet into helping him. He reappears in ''Dream Collection: Special Edition'' where he builds an amusement park following a HeelFaceTurn as atonement for antagonizing Kirby, and later in ''Videogame/TeamKirbyClashDeluxe'' where he becomes the owner of the Shoppe.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike the games, Magolor never makes a HeelFaceTurn in the novels. While nominally he presents himself as a friend of Kirby, he's a blatant ManipulativeBastard who instigates multiple conflicts purely for his own amusement, and displays virtually no remorse over how his actions hurt others.
* AffablyEvil: He's certainly quite friendly, masking his EvilPlan all along with his affable demeanor. Even after his plan is revealed, he still sincerely thanks Kirby and his friends for their help. The "evil" part is swapped out for being more of a [[TheGadfly gadfly]] in ''Kirby's Dream Collection'', where he returns with the Lor and opens up an amusement park for Kirby, even occasionally engaging in friendly competition.
* AliensAreBastards: He's a native of Halcandra [[spoiler:(except that's a lie, though he's still certainly from another world)]], and he later brings Kirby and co. there after the Lor Starcutter is fixed. He appears to be a nice guy, but is secretly trying to get the Master Crown to rule the universe. It's subverted in subsequent games where he turns good and becomes part of Popstar.
* AllYourPowersCombined: In the final phase of his battle in ''Return to Dream Land'', he can use his own versions of the Super Abilities, specifically Ultra Sword, Monster Flame, and Flare Beam. Magolor Soul adds Grand Hammer, with an added ice effect from Snow Bowl, while ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' gives him super ability varients of Sand and Mecha.
* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: His arena takes place in an otherworldly neon blue room with a large black orb in the background, a purple sky, and a large portal to Planet Popstar in the background which gets bigger and bigger the longer the fight goes on. The arena with [[spoiler:Magolor Soul]] in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena is even more ominous, with a dark red sky, a dark purple floor, and the orb in the background is now bright blue and now resembling Void Termina's core.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: In ''Return to Dream Land'', Magolor refers to the Ancients and their clockwork stars and has a relatively prominent gear motif himself, not only using the design to decorate his hood, but featuring them darn near everywhere during his races in ''Dream Collection''. Given that [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Hyness]], an implied member of the Ancients' race, [[spoiler:has ears identical to those of Magolor]], there's also a possibility that Magolor himself may be a descendant of the Ancients. However, [[spoiler:''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' reveals that he's not actually from Halcandra]], which muddies the waters on this issue somewhat.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:Magolor Soul's brand-new second phase in ''Deluxe'' gets an all-new pause menu description that reveals he is aware of what he's doing, but powerless to stop himself under the Crown's influence.]]
-->[[spoiler:Kirby... Ugh! I hate having to rely on you, and your vacant stare when I revealed my grand plan was truly insulting. Well, let's see if you can break this thing on my head. If you can, then someday... hee hee hee... I may get to toy with you again!]]
* TheAtoner: He makes up for his misdeeds in ''Return to Dream Land'' by building a gigantic theme park in the pink puff's honor as part of ''Kirby's Dream Collection'' and supplying Team Kirby with anything they might need in the ''Clash'' games. He'll still [[CardCarryingVillain play up his own evilness]] for the sake of a [[{{Troll}} good joke]] if you buy him out, however.
* BadassAdorable: He might look cute, but as shown in ''Kirby's Dream Collection'' and ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', he's an aggressive attacker capable of powerful magic. However, his powered-up Master Crown form in ''Return to Dream Land'' is less than adorable, to say the least.
* BaitAndSwitch: Buying and upgrading every weapon in ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' will cause Magolor to repeat his EvilGloating from ''Return to Dream Land''... only to say he was just joking afterwards.
* BarehandedBladeBlock: In the Story Mode version of his boss fight, a (soft-)scripted part of the battle is that you have to use the Ultra Sword against him after you breaks all his shields. He'll attempt to block it with his hands; you then have to mash buttons to overpower him, and if you succeed, Kirby will proceed to slash Magolor multiple times with the Ultra Sword. [[spoiler:At the end of the Magolor Epilogue, he gets in a second one of these with the Master Crown, with Magolor wielding an Ultra Sword of his own.]]
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: In the second phase of his battle, Magolor will start using his own Super Abilities to fight Kirby (which Kirby had used to take down his first phase prior). He can use the Ultra Sword, Monster Flame, and Flare Beam, with Magolor Soul adding the Grand Hammer to the mix with Snow Bowl's ice augmented. [[spoiler:And ''Deluxe'''s True Arena throws the new abilities Sand and Mecha into the mix.]]
* 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.]]
* {{BFG}}: [[spoiler:After he TurnsRed in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena, Magolor Soul gains access to a giant pair of the Mecha blasters and uses them as a WaveMotionGun.]]
* BigBad: He's the true antagonist in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. [[spoiler:However, [[GreaterScopeVillain the Master Crown]] quickly usurps him once it takes over his body.]]
* BigBadFriend: Even though he's technically the villain of ''Return to Dream Land'', he still wants to be friends with Kirby and does what he can to try to make it up to him after his HeelFaceTurn in subsequent games.
* BlowYouAway: As Magolor EX, he uses wind to blow Kirby away from him when the latter uses Snow Bowl to break his shield. His DashAttack in ''Star Allies'' is also classified as a wind attack. [[spoiler:In Magolor Soul's extra phase in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena, he begins it by using his own Super version of the Sand ability, creating two giant sand tornadoes and throwing them onto the arena.]]
* BlueIsHeroic: He wears blue robes, and has been one of Kirby's friends since his HeelFaceTurn in ''Dream Collection,'' [[TheGadfly even if he still remains mischievous about it]].
* BottomlessPitRescueService: If you play ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' with Helper Magolor turned on, he will sometimes appear to rescue you from bottomless pits.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: It is implied that the Master Crown ends up corrupting him. Magolor Soul is described as "a sad shell possessed by the limitless power of the Master Crown, no more than a manifestation of the crown itself". In the Japanese and Korean Wii versions, there's an extra sentence which all but confirms the Master Crown is controlling him through ThePowerOfHate, a line which is reinserted in all versions of ''Deluxe''. [[spoiler:Then it's outright confirmed in the Magolor Epilogue, with the pause descriptions of the Master Crown revealing that it amplifies the darkness within those who wear it until they become nothing more than an extension of the crown's will to destroy.]]
* BreakoutCharacter: Despite being intended as just a OneShotCharacter and seemingly dying at the end of ''Kirby's Return of Dream Land'', Magolor's popularity led to him making many appearances in official spin-offs and merchandise, even in material otherwise showing the core four of Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Dee. This shows in the game’s remake, ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', where his role is vastly expanded on, as there is a brand-new minigame side mode that he is the host of, a new Helper Magolor option that allows him to assist Kirby in stages by saving him from pits and doubling his health, and a post-game adventure featuring Magolor as the ''sole'' playable character, detailing his survival and what happened to him after his defeat.
* BrightIsNotGood: Both of his boss forms in the Normal Mode are a bright shade of blue and red. [[DarkIsEvil Not so much in Extra Mode, though...]]
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler: He's pretty full of himself, and thinks of the Dreamlanders as gullible, easily manipulated idiots. His quest to conquer the universe with the power of the Master Crown going awry and stranding him in the depths of Another Dimension break him down quite a lot, leaving him without his powers while struggling to survive. One of the taunts you can make him do has him actively fight back tears, in fact!]]
* CallBack: His first boss form resembles Nightmare, while his second form resembles Marx, and Magolor Soul resembles a fusion of Marx and Dark Matter. He also uses some of Marx's attacks, and his role in the plot is basically similar to Marx's, turned up to eleven.
* TheCameo:
** In ''Triple Deluxe'', he appears as a one of the Stone's forms and Circus' Balloon Pop Art forms, as well as a keychain. Part of the mansion levels in Wild World also has a painting of him. He also appears in the Kirby Master video, cheering Kirby who's on stage.
** In the final secret stage of ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe'' which, fittingly, is C-R-O-W-N-E-D. WordOfGod says the game takes place in a theme park he built in ''Dream Collection''. [[invoked]]
** He's a trophy in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.
** In ''Planet Robobot'', he's once again one of the Stone's forms (alongside Marx this time) and a sticker.
** In ''Star Allies'', he's yet again one of the Stone's forms, this time with the appearance of him from ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe''.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[AllThereInTheManual In the July 2017 issue]] of ''Nintendo DREAM'', it was revealed that Shopkeeper Magolor from the ''Kirby Clash'' games, which are set in an AlternateContinuity separate from the main series, is in fact the same Magolor from the main timeline. [[spoiler:The Magolor Epilogue in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' explicitly confirms this, with him escaping Another Dimension after his defeat and landing in the Dream Kingdom, where he later plants the Gem Apple tree and sets up shop.]]
* CastingAShadow: He's shown to have shadow magic in ''Dream Collection'', but his powers are amplified after putting on the Master Crown in ''Return to Dream Land''.
* CatsAreMean: If [[https://twitter.com/kirby_jp/status/1495962109636923393 this tweet]] is any indication, Magolor's design is supposed to be somewhat cat-like. The "mean" part comes in at the end of ''Return to Dream Land'', where he betrays Kirby and friends in order to get his hands on [[CrownOfPower the Master Crown]] and [[GalacticConqueror rule the universe]].
* CatsAreSuperior: The cat-like Magolor is one of the smartest characters in the series, capable of deceiving Kirby and friends -- even [[TheCowl Meta Knight]] -- for his own ends. Even without the Master Crown powering him up, he's also one of the strongest magic users in the franchise, and an incredibly powerful MagicKnight in ''Star Allies''.
* TheChessmaster: His evil plan involves Kirby and co. recovering the Master Crown from Landia, which grants limitless power to the wearer.
* ClothingDamage: His appearance in the Magolor Epilogue has his robes tattered and discoloured, to reflect how he's a shell of his former self. It also confirms he has actual ears under his hood.
* CompositeCharacter: He borrows various elements and movesets from previous bosses.
* ContinueYourMissionDammit: If you talk to him more than six times in both ''Return to Dream Land'' and ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'', Magolor will tell you to go out on your adventure.
* ContinuityNod: Some of his quotes in ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' are modified versions of his quotes from ''Return to Dream Land''.
* 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]].]]
* CoolShip: His Lor Starcutter. He mentions that it can do interdimensional travel and it was made by the ancient people (the same people who made the "clockwork stars"). It also becomes the penultimate boss in an UnexpectedShmupLevel[[note]]akin to how Kirby collected the power stars from different planets to assemble Nova, only for Marx to turn it against him[[/note]] after Magolor takes on the Master Crown. In ''Star Allies'', he can even summon it for friends to ride on.
* DarkIsEvil: Magolor EX trades his red, blue, and white color palette for a darker [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black-and-maroon]] one. Magolor Soul plays the trope even straighter, being a grotesque EldritchAbomination who's primarily black and navy blue.
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' adds the Magolor Epilogue, which turns him into a playable character and shows how he recovered from his defeat at the end of the main story.
* DePower: Happens to him in the Magolor Epilogue. After he loses the Master Crown's power, Magolor gets banished to the far reaches of Another Dimension, where he loses all his abilities beyond a weak EnergyBall and a short burst of levitation. Regaining his powers involves defeating enemies to earn MP for enhancing his moveset.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Gets upgraded to this status in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', which makes him the focus of [[ADayInTheLimelight his own bonus campaign]] and gives him a more prominent role in gameplay.
* 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.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After being possessed by the Master Crown and being depowered by it after being defeated by Kirby, Magolor slices the Crown's tree body in half with a Ultra Sword of his own at the end of Magolor Epilogue.]]
* DualWielding: In his second form, after he TurnsRed, he'll wield 2 Ultra Swords at once and swings them at the player. As Magolor Soul, he wields two huge Galaxias instead.
* DubNameChange: Called "Mahoroa" in Japanese.
* DualWielding: In his second form, he wields two massive dark swords when he uses his Ultra Sword attack. As Magolor Soul, they become dark versions of Galaxia.
* 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.
* EldritchAbomination: Not normally, but his second boss form is quite a bizarre creature; the "horns" of his hood now take up his entire body, the Master Crown wraps around him like tentacles (as well as giving him a pair of flaming wings), and his mouth is sometimes shown to contain an [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyeball]]. His Extra Mode counterpart, Magolor Soul, is naturally an even creepier version of this design.
* EmptyShell: You've already destroyed the real Magolor once he becomes [[IronicName Magolor Soul]]; now he's just a soulless husk that the Master Crown is channeling its powers through. Luckily, he gets better.
* EnergyBall: In ''Dream Collection'' and ''Star Allies'', he can shoot balls of dark energy. In the latter, it can be [[ChargedAttack charged]] to make him fire a set of twirling {{Fireballs}}. His boss form can also do it; his second form (and Magolor Soul) can also encase himself in a large energy ball and then move slowly across the screen, somewhat mimicking the Flare Beam.
* EvilAllAlong: Zigzagged. Just like Marx, he was manipulating Kirby and friends for his own ends. However, the "take over the universe" part of his plan was of his own volition, though the Master Crown has [[OmnicidalManiac other plans]]...
* 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.
* EvilOverlord: His initial motivation is to take over the universe. He drops it after being beaten by Kirby and seeing what the Master Crown did to him.
* EvilSorcerer: He's a gifted magician even without being empowered. His first form, immediately after putting on the Master Crown ramps this up even further. His later appearances drop the "evil" part.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Learns this the hard way when the Master Crown ends up completely possessing him, turning him into Magolor Soul.
* ExBigBad: His debut in ''Return to Dream Land'' (and by extension, the ''Deluxe'' remake) remains the only appearance where he takes the role of a villain, with all of his appearances afterwards depicting him as having undergone a HeelFaceTurn and becoming genuine friends with Kirby.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: In his second and Soul forms, his mouth turns into a red eye. [[spoiler:Magolor Soul's extra phase in ''Deluxe'''s True Arena gets rid of his original two eyes, leaving only the eye in his mouth.]]
* {{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.]]
* FireIceLightning: In his second form, he normally only has two of three (Monster Flame and Flare Beam), but his Soul form adds an ice effect to his new Grand Hammer attack.
* FloatingLimbs: He seems to have invisible limbs connected to his hands. As his boss forms, said hands are accompanied by a circular symbol each.
* FlunkyBoss: His first form can summon small Sphere Doomers to attack the player. His second form (and Magolor Soul) can juggle different kinds of mooks around and then throw them at you.
* FrictionlessIce: His modified Grand Snow Hammer attack as Magolor Soul has [[ElementalWeapon the hammer being icy]], resulting in [[SpikesOfDoom spikes of ice]] that leaves patches of slippery ice on the ground for several seconds.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: 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.
* TheGadfly: Ever since ''Dream Collection Special Edition'', he's a bit more mischievous, though still ultimately friendly.
** In ''Dream Collection'' itself, he occasionally attacks you and summons enemies to obstruct your progress during the Magolor Races, and laughs haughtily if he wins.
** In ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe'', in the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything level C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Reprise)]], he occasionally pulls a blindfold banner to obstruct the player's view. He'll even giggle if he's around when Dedede falls into a pit or at the end of the section.
** In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash'', he has at least one line where he says that now that Kirby has bought all of his equipment, he'll quote his WhamLine from ''Return to Dream Land'' and declares that he'll take over the Dream Kingdom... and he reveals that he's just kidding.
* GalacticConqueror: He plans to rule the entire universe by wearing the Master Crown, and he very much has the power to do so. [[spoiler:That's his intended endgame, at least. The Crown would have corrupted him into [[OmnicidalManiac something even worse]].]]
* GoKartingWithBowser: Magolor has a few friendly races with Kirby in ''Kirby's Dream Collection''. {{Justified|Trope}}, as the game marks his HeelFaceTurn.
* GreenThumb: One of his attacks is to create multiple vine sprouts from dimensional holes in the air, similar to one of Marx's attacks.
* HadesShaded: When he wears the Master Crown, his skin turns from dark brown to inky black. By this point, he's been revealed as the BigBad of the game. [[spoiler:It's likely a visual indication that the Master Crown has magnified the darkness in his heart, considering the visual similarities between Magolor Soul and Dark Matter.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: As of ''Kirby's Dream Collection'', he seems to have reformed, and truly wishes to be a friend of Kirby. He builds him an amusement park as an apology, does nothing more malicious than attack him during his race challenges, and leaves amicably on the Lor while waving goodbye. The exact moment this happens is covered in the Magolor Epilogue.
* 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.]]
* HeroesPreferSwords: [[spoiler:At the end of the Magolor Epilogue, he picks up an ordinary-looking sword lying on the Master Crown's battle arena and transforms it into the Ultra Sword he uses in ''Star Allies'', cementing that he's redeemed himself.]]
* 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.]]
* HiddenDepths: Apparently, Magolor has a knack for building amusement parks, which is shown in both ''Kirby's Dream Collection'' and ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe'' (as per WordOfGod).[[invoked]] It's stated in ''Deluxe'' that this has been a lifelong dream for him, though it's unknown if this is genuine or if it's a lie that [[BecomingTheMask wound up becoming true.]]
* HonestJohnsDealership: Characterized as this ever since his HeelFaceTurn. He's still portrayed as a "liar", but more in the sense of being sneaky and shady rather than outright malicious, and he's usually some form of merchant or service provider.
* IconicItem: Gem Apples, the PremiumCurrency of the ''Kirby Clash'' games. His Shoppe in the games wheels and deals exclusively in Gem Apples, and in ''Star Allies'' he has a move where he shoots Gem Apples as a projectile. [[spoiler:''Magolor Epilogue'' even reveals how he obtained the first Gem Apple.]]
* InformedAbility: He's the captain of the Lor Starcutter and requires you to find the energy spheres for him, but he never actually repairs the ship. At least not in front of Kirby.
* InterfaceScrew: Magolor Soul has a move where he turns the screen upside down, much like Ice Sphere Doomer EX.
* KamehameHadoken: One of his attacks has him fire a large laser beam from both hands, mimicking Marx. In his second form (and as Magolor Soul), he can also fire it towards a portal, which causes the laser to come out from another portal, covering more of the screen.
* KnightOfCerebus: Let's just say that when he puts the Master Crown on, things get '''serious'''.
* KubrickStare: [[https://wikirby.com/wiki/File:KRtDLD_Magolor_Soul_screenshot.png Magolor's second form does this]] whenever the eyeball shows up in his grinning mouth. It's even more prominent in his Soul form where the eye appears more often, [[spoiler:and finally becomes front and center in ''Deluxe'''s True Arena where it is not only permanently visible, but come the second phase, it's the only eye he displays.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjWydqMtt5U This one.]] It gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POPD80fxcD4 a sinister remix]] later on.
* LovableTraitor: Although Magolor manipulated Kirby in order to get his hands on the [[CrownOfPower Master Crown]] in his first appearance, it's hard to hold it against him when he [[TheAtoner did everything in his power to make amends]]. [[spoiler:It helps that he personally destroyed the Master Crown in the Magolor Epilogue, thus ensuring that it can no longer corrupt anyone else as it did when he wore the crown.]]
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: In the Story Mode-exclusive final phase, Magolor summons a star-shield to protect himself and can only be destroyed piece by piece with three Super Abilities. In ''Star Allies,'' he can summon a smaller (albeit weaker) version of it while guarding.
* MagicalClown: When he puts on the Master Crown, he turns into a [[CourtJester jester-like creature]] with all sorts of powers. One attack when he goes OneWingedAngel in particular has him juggling a bunch of enemies to fire at Kirby.
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulated Kirby to defeat Landia in order to take his crown for himself.
* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: If you watch closely in his boss stage (inside Another Dimension) there's a star-shaped portal to Planet Popstar in the background. Said portal initially is off-center, then somehow moves to the center before slowly becoming larger, implying that the room is moving towards Popstar.
* {{Microtransactions}}: In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash'', Magolor handles it. In the former game in particular, he'll tell you to buy Gem Apples (the game's currency) on Sunday (or Magolor Day as he calls it) because the player will get more.
* MoneyMauling: In ''Kirby Star Allies'', one of his attacks is to throw exploding Gem Apples; AKA, the currency of ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' ([[{{Microtransactions}} which you probably spent real money on]]).
* MrExposition: Collect all of the Lor Starcutter parts, and he'll tell you the beginning of his adventure. Collect all 120 of the Energy Spheres, and he'll share some secrets, including how he apparently has heard of Kirby some time before the game, and he had a friend that told him all about Kirby. It's heavily implied that said friend was Marx.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: A possible in-universe example. [[spoiler:In ''Star Allies'', a few words of an alien language spoken by Hyness and his followers are revealed. In said language "Lor" actually means "paradise", while "Mafo"[[note]]In Japanese, "f" and "h" sounds are very similar and sometimes conflated[[/note]] means "lie". Going by that, Magolor's Japanese name could possibly mean ''"False Paradise"'' in-universe.]]
* NeverBareheaded: He's never seen without his hood up; one of his lines in the original Wii version of ''Return to Dream Land'' implies he has hair, but we never get to see it. The most we get to see of his head is when his hood gets torn during Magolor Epilogue, exposing one of his cat-like ears.
* NoMouth: Like many Kirby characters, he doesn't seem to to have a mouth (that, or it's covered by his scarf). Magolor's second form reveals that he does have a mouth... that has an [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eye]] inside it.
* NonIndicativeName: Magolor Soul is (implied to be) anything but; the pause description of it says that it's merely an empty shell that's manipulated by the Master Crown to manifest its powers through.
* OneWingedAngel: After defeating Magolor for the first time, the Master Crown revives and corrupts him, turning him into a large black orb with much larger ears, a [[PerpetualSmiler gigantic, fixated grin]] on his face with [[EyesDoNotBelongThere red eye in it]], and the Master Crown wrapping itself around his body, with two large wings portruding from its back and releasing red and blue flames.
* PaletteSwap:
** In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash'', he wears a plainer white and green variant of his usual costume. [[spoiler:He later goes back to his usual white and blue after you buy every equipment from his Shoppe.]]
** Magolor EX is a simple recolor of his first boss form.
** Due to ''Kirby Star Allies'' having different colored Friends, this trope is also in effect if Magolor is player 2, 3, or 4.
** The Magolor Epilogue of ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' turns Magolor's robes [[GloomyGray grey]] and tattered to show that he has [[{{Depower}} lost his powers]]. [[spoiler:After escaping Another Dimension and awakening in Dream Kingdom, he changes into his shopkeeper robes from the ''Kirby Clash'' games.]]
* PerpetualSmiler: His final form and Magolor Soul's face appears to be fixed in a perpetual hollow grin, with the mouth containing a red eye that occasionally gets revealed.
* PlayingWithFire: One of his first boss form's attacks is to fire flame shots from the background, while his second boss form uses a copy of Monster Flame. In ''Star Allies'', it's his ChargedAttack that can burn grass.
* PowerCopying: In his final form, he uses your Super Abilities to fight against you. It's possible that he [[AwesomenessByAnalysis used his star shield to record them]] whenever you smash him (during his first form).
* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: He normally has a very squeaky voice, but it becomes a ''very'' deep growl once he puts on [[AmplifierArtifact the Master Crown]].
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Come his HeelFaceTurn, Magolor's previously-parodying notions of friendship and comradery become his genuine modus operandi, doing virtually everything from that point on for the sake of creating for and assisting his friends, and swearing by this notion even in his Guest Star campaign of ''Star Allies.'' [[HonestJohnsDealership With just a smidgen of trickery and snake oil salesman practices to grease the wheels a bit, of course.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: According to the Japanese and Korean pause menu descriptions for [[TrueFinalBoss Magolor Soul]] in the original Wii version and all versions in ''Deluxe'', the Master Crown has corrupted his soul with hatred and obsession. [[spoiler:The Magolor Epilogue reveals that this would have eventually transformed him into an OmnicidalManiac, like all the Master Crown's other victims.]]
* PromotedToPlayable: He returns in ''Kirby Star Allies'' as a summonable Dream Friend. ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' gives him his own playable campaign, the Magolor Epilogue.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Whenever Magolor uses his strongest attacks, his own version of the Super Abilities, the background turns dull purple. [[spoiler:When Magolor Soul TurnsRed in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena, he constantly flashes purple to signify that the Master Crown is now in full control.]]
* RammingAlwaysWorks: One of his second form's (and Magolor Soul's) attacks is him going into a dimensional portal, then coming out of it while trying to ram Kirby and co from different directions. It's also cannot be blocked. He uses a similar move in ''Star Allies'', this time based on his high-speed dash in ''Dream Collection''. His Friend Ability is to summon the Lor Starcutter and use it to ram obstacles and enemies (after his friends board them).
* RealityWarper: Once he gains the Master Crown, he's able to manipulate and even weaponize the very fabric of reality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he puts on the Master Crown and transforms, his eyes turn orange-red. In his second form and Magolor Soul, he even gets a red eye in his mouth.
* ReformedButNotTamed: Even after turning over to the side of good for keeps (as evidenced by him destroying the very ArtifactOfDoom he sought after for limitless power in ''Magolor Epilogue''), he retains his trickster, [[TheGadfly gadfly]] attitude, even still harboring some occasional resentment that he had to depend on Kirby to kick him down several notches.
* SayMyName: After defeating Magolor Soul, he screams Kirby's name in agony as he slowly dissolves away.
* ShapingYourAttacks: One of his second form's (and Magolor Soul's) attacks is him going to the background and then creating shapes out of dark fumes, which he then pushes to the foreground, and then it stays for a few seconds as a hazard. You have to guide Kirby and co to a potential safe spot before he pushes the shape forward.
* ASinisterClue: Take a good look at how he attacks when you fight him, especially in his first form. He favors his left hand.
* SpikesOfDoom: In ''Star Allies'', one of his attacks is to create multiple tall spikes around him. He can do this as a boss, too. He second form can even blast them in multiple directions using portals.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Marx. Sets Kirby up to go on a quest, collect stuff important to his plot, in order to obtain great power? Marx did it first. Bonus points for the fact that his True Final Boss form is called Magolor Soul (though technically Drawcia did that first), as well as having some of Marx's attacks. There's also a bit of Zero and 0[[superscript:2]] in his final form, with the blood red eye gaping from what would otherwise be a smile. ''Planet Robobot'' even has a statue of the two together as a form Stone Kirby can take, and multiple pieces of artwork provided by the official Kirby twitter depict the two of them committing various forms of mischief.
* TacticalSuicideBoss: In the story mode-only battle against him, in the phase where [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe he shields himself]], he'll always conveniently summon "super-mooks" (among the normal mooks) that gives Kirby the Super Abilities that can break his shield.
* TeleportSpam: Like most ''Kirby'' final bosses, he enjoys warping around the boss stage to make it hard for you to hit him.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: As Magolor Soul in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena, [[spoiler:the theme that plays during the fight, "Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD" from ''Star Allies,'' gets an added chorus when he enters his extra phase. To add to it, when the chorus gets added, you can actually hear what appears to be Magolor's voice crying for help from within Magolor Soul]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Magolor Soul in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'''s True Arena is given a ''significant'' boost in difficulty compared to the original game, with [[spoiler:more wide-spanning attacks, trickier moves, and more aggressive behavior, as well as a ''second phase'' where he unleashes all his Super Ability moves in quick succession, including two ''new'' super abilities based on Sand and Mecha]]. His boss theme even changes from "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" to a new arrangement of [[spoiler:Star Allies' "Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD"]] to mark that the player's in for a rough time if they were expecting the normal Soul fight.
* TragicMonster: It's merely [[ImpliedTrope implied]] in the original Wii international localizations, but he's this in the Japanese and Korean versions and all versions of ''Deluxe''. By the time he becomes [[TrueFinalBoss Magolor Soul]], the Master Crown has corrupted him into an EmptyShell animated by ThePowerOfHate. He gets better.
* TreacherousQuestGiver: He gives helpful hints to Kirby and co. but is secretly a bad guy.
* {{Troll}}: If you buy him out in the ''Kirby Clash'' games, he'll tell Kirby that he now has the resources he needs to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the Dream Kingdom]], [[CallBack just like he did]] in ''Return to Dream Land'' after grabbing the Master Crown. It's all a gag.
* {{Tsundere}}: A platonic example. [[spoiler:Magolor Soul's final pause description in ''Deluxe'', written from Magolor's own POV, suggests that he thinks Kirby is an idiot and hates having to rely on him, but likes him enough to good-naturedly [[TheGadfly mess around with him]].]]
* UnexplainedRecovery: Prior to ''Deluxe'', how he survived his first battle with Kirby and regained control of the Lor Starcutter between ''Return to Dream Land'' and ''Dream Collection'' is never shown. [[WordOfGod Shinya Kumazaki]] later revealed on Miiverse that after his defeat, he was teleported to a dimension beyond space and time; it's presumed that it occurs because he's defeated in Another Dimension, and he might've taken up the Lor Starcutter again at some point for him to come back in ''Dream Collection''. ''Deluxe'' finally expands upon this story with the Magolor Epilogue, showing how he ended up in said dimension, how he recovered from his loss to Kirby, and how he redeems himself [[spoiler:leading to his appearances in the ''Kirby Clash'' series, both making those games part of the main canon of the franchise and expanding on Magolor's personal timeline before ''Dream Collection''.]]
* UnreliableNarrator: Magolor omits any details about trying to steal the Master Crown when introducing himself to the player in ''Dream Collection'', only saying that "things got a bit hectic when [he] first arrived" in Dream Land. It also helps hide spoileriffic details for anybody playing the side-games before playing ''Return to Dream Land''.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: While he isn't nearly as disturbing as other villains in the series, his Master Crown-enhanced forms are unsettling nonetheless. [[spoiler:The Master Crown's pause screen lore indicates he would have ''become'' [[OmnicidalManiac every bit as nasty as he looks]].]]
* VillainousFriendship: Some of his dialogue in ''Return to Dream Land'', the series' anniversary art, and some of the scenes from ''Star Allies'' imply that Magolor is friends with Marx.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's difficult to talk about Magolor without giving away the big twist of ''Return to Dream Land''.
* WaveMotionGun: [[spoiler:Another one of Magolor Soul's new attacks in his extra phase in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena is use his Super version of the Mecha ability, summoning the two blasters Kirby gains while using the ability before firing two massive laser beams that rise upward, requiring Kirby and his friends to move to the far edges of the screen to avoid being caught.]]
* WhamLine: He has one after defeating Landia:
-->''"Bravo, Kirby. You've truly earned your reputation as a hero. Your help defeating Landia was invaluable. Ah... At long last, it's mine! The source of limitless power... The Master Crown! Obtaining this crown has been my ultimate goal all along! (...) Anyway... [[EvilLaugh MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA]]! The time has come for your planet... No! The time has come for the ENTIRE UNIVERSE to bow down to me. And for being such a big help in all of this, your planet gets to go first!"''
** A first-time player might get one from him even earlier when playing ''Deluxe'', as one of the lines for talking to him in the Lor is has been rewritten to include a pretty damning FreudianSlip.
-->''"I'm amazed at how kind everyone is! You're all such [[LastSecondWordSwap easy targe-- Er, I mean, easygoing folks!]]"''
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Has yellow eyes and is TheGadfly. In his original appearance in ''Return To Dream Land'', it's the first hint to his traitorous status.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: One of his attacks is him creating a black hole that tries to suck Kirby and his allies into it. If they don't run against it, they'll fall into the hole and then get heavily damaged, like one of Marx's attacks. He can even do something similar in ''Star Allies''.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[labelnote:Magolor when in charge of the Shoppe]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/magolor_super_kirby_clash.png[[/labelnote]]]]
->''"I will show you the power of Best Friends!"''
A friendly-looking alien who crash-landed on Planet Popstar with his ship, the Lor Starcutter. Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee volunteered to help him recover the parts that broke off the ship. Near the end of the game, he reveals himself to be the BigBad of the story, having tricked the quartet into helping him. He reappears in ''Dream Collection: Special Edition'' where he builds an amusement park following a HeelFaceTurn as atonement for antagonizing Kirby, and later in ''Videogame/TeamKirbyClashDeluxe'' where he becomes the owner of the Shoppe.
----
* AdaptationalVillainy: Unlike the games, Magolor never makes a HeelFaceTurn in the novels. While nominally he presents himself as a friend of Kirby, he's a blatant ManipulativeBastard who instigates multiple conflicts purely for his own amusement, and displays virtually no remorse over how his actions hurt others.
* AffablyEvil: He's certainly quite friendly, masking his EvilPlan all along with his affable demeanor. Even after his plan is revealed, he still sincerely thanks Kirby and his friends for their help. The "evil" part is swapped out for being more of a [[TheGadfly gadfly]] in ''Kirby's Dream Collection'', where he returns with the Lor and opens up an amusement park for Kirby, even occasionally engaging in friendly competition.
* AliensAreBastards: He's a native of Halcandra [[spoiler:(except that's a lie, though he's still certainly from another world)]], and he later brings Kirby and co. there after the Lor Starcutter is fixed. He appears to be a nice guy, but is secretly trying to get the Master Crown to rule the universe. It's subverted in subsequent games where he turns good and becomes part of Popstar.
* AllYourPowersCombined: In the final phase of his battle in ''Return to Dream Land'', he can use his own versions of the Super Abilities, specifically Ultra Sword, Monster Flame, and Flare Beam. Magolor Soul adds Grand Hammer, with an added ice effect from Snow Bowl, while ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' gives him super ability varients of Sand and Mecha.
* AmazingTechnicolorBattlefield: His arena takes place in an otherworldly neon blue room with a large black orb in the background, a purple sky, and a large portal to Planet Popstar in the background which gets bigger and bigger the longer the fight goes on. The arena with [[spoiler:Magolor Soul]] in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena is even more ominous, with a dark red sky, a dark purple floor, and the orb in the background is now bright blue and now resembling Void Termina's core.
* AmbiguouslyRelated: In ''Return to Dream Land'', Magolor refers to the Ancients and their clockwork stars and has a relatively prominent gear motif himself, not only using the design to decorate his hood, but featuring them darn near everywhere during his races in ''Dream Collection''. Given that [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Hyness]], an implied member of the Ancients' race, [[spoiler:has ears identical to those of Magolor]], there's also a possibility that Magolor himself may be a descendant of the Ancients. However, [[spoiler:''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' reveals that he's not actually from Halcandra]], which muddies the waters on this issue somewhat.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:Magolor Soul's brand-new second phase in ''Deluxe'' gets an all-new pause menu description that reveals he is aware of what he's doing, but powerless to stop himself under the Crown's influence.]]
-->[[spoiler:Kirby... Ugh! I hate having to rely on you, and your vacant stare when I revealed my grand plan was truly insulting. Well, let's see if you can break this thing on my head. If you can, then someday... hee hee hee... I may get to toy with you again!]]
* TheAtoner: He makes up for his misdeeds in ''Return to Dream Land'' by building a gigantic theme park in the pink puff's honor as part of ''Kirby's Dream Collection'' and supplying Team Kirby with anything they might need in the ''Clash'' games. He'll still [[CardCarryingVillain play up his own evilness]] for the sake of a [[{{Troll}} good joke]] if you buy him out, however.
* BadassAdorable: He might look cute, but as shown in ''Kirby's Dream Collection'' and ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', he's an aggressive attacker capable of powerful magic. However, his powered-up Master Crown form in ''Return to Dream Land'' is less than adorable, to say the least.
* BaitAndSwitch: Buying and upgrading every weapon in ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' will cause Magolor to repeat his EvilGloating from ''Return to Dream Land''... only to say he was just joking afterwards.
* BarehandedBladeBlock: In the Story Mode version of his boss fight, a (soft-)scripted part of the battle is that you have to use the Ultra Sword against him after you breaks all his shields. He'll attempt to block it with his hands; you then have to mash buttons to overpower him, and if you succeed, Kirby will proceed to slash Magolor multiple times with the Ultra Sword. [[spoiler:At the end of the Magolor Epilogue, he gets in a second one of these with the Master Crown, with Magolor wielding an Ultra Sword of his own.]]
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: In the second phase of his battle, Magolor will start using his own Super Abilities to fight Kirby (which Kirby had used to take down his first phase prior). He can use the Ultra Sword, Monster Flame, and Flare Beam, with Magolor Soul adding the Grand Hammer to the mix with Snow Bowl's ice augmented. [[spoiler:And ''Deluxe'''s True Arena throws the new abilities Sand and Mecha into the mix.]]
* 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.]]
* {{BFG}}: [[spoiler:After he TurnsRed in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena, Magolor Soul gains access to a giant pair of the Mecha blasters and uses them as a WaveMotionGun.]]
* BigBad: He's the true antagonist in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. [[spoiler:However, [[GreaterScopeVillain the Master Crown]] quickly usurps him once it takes over his body.]]
* BigBadFriend: Even though he's technically the villain of ''Return to Dream Land'', he still wants to be friends with Kirby and does what he can to try to make it up to him after his HeelFaceTurn in subsequent games.
* BlowYouAway: As Magolor EX, he uses wind to blow Kirby away from him when the latter uses Snow Bowl to break his shield. His DashAttack in ''Star Allies'' is also classified as a wind attack. [[spoiler:In Magolor Soul's extra phase in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena, he begins it by using his own Super version of the Sand ability, creating two giant sand tornadoes and throwing them onto the arena.]]
* BlueIsHeroic: He wears blue robes, and has been one of Kirby's friends since his HeelFaceTurn in ''Dream Collection,'' [[TheGadfly even if he still remains mischievous about it]].
* BottomlessPitRescueService: If you play ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' with Helper Magolor turned on, he will sometimes appear to rescue you from bottomless pits.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: It is implied that the Master Crown ends up corrupting him. Magolor Soul is described as "a sad shell possessed by the limitless power of the Master Crown, no more than a manifestation of the crown itself". In the Japanese and Korean Wii versions, there's an extra sentence which all but confirms the Master Crown is controlling him through ThePowerOfHate, a line which is reinserted in all versions of ''Deluxe''. [[spoiler:Then it's outright confirmed in the Magolor Epilogue, with the pause descriptions of the Master Crown revealing that it amplifies the darkness within those who wear it until they become nothing more than an extension of the crown's will to destroy.]]
* BreakoutCharacter: Despite being intended as just a OneShotCharacter and seemingly dying at the end of ''Kirby's Return of Dream Land'', Magolor's popularity led to him making many appearances in official spin-offs and merchandise, even in material otherwise showing the core four of Kirby, Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Dee. This shows in the game’s remake, ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', where his role is vastly expanded on, as there is a brand-new minigame side mode that he is the host of, a new Helper Magolor option that allows him to assist Kirby in stages by saving him from pits and doubling his health, and a post-game adventure featuring Magolor as the ''sole'' playable character, detailing his survival and what happened to him after his defeat.
* BrightIsNotGood: Both of his boss forms in the Normal Mode are a bright shade of blue and red. [[DarkIsEvil Not so much in Extra Mode, though...]]
* BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler: He's pretty full of himself, and thinks of the Dreamlanders as gullible, easily manipulated idiots. His quest to conquer the universe with the power of the Master Crown going awry and stranding him in the depths of Another Dimension break him down quite a lot, leaving him without his powers while struggling to survive. One of the taunts you can make him do has him actively fight back tears, in fact!]]
* CallBack: His first boss form resembles Nightmare, while his second form resembles Marx, and Magolor Soul resembles a fusion of Marx and Dark Matter. He also uses some of Marx's attacks, and his role in the plot is basically similar to Marx's, turned up to eleven.
* TheCameo:
** In ''Triple Deluxe'', he appears as a one of the Stone's forms and Circus' Balloon Pop Art forms, as well as a keychain. Part of the mansion levels in Wild World also has a painting of him. He also appears in the Kirby Master video, cheering Kirby who's on stage.
** In the final secret stage of ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe'' which, fittingly, is C-R-O-W-N-E-D. WordOfGod says the game takes place in a theme park he built in ''Dream Collection''. [[invoked]]
** He's a trophy in ''[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]''.
** In ''Planet Robobot'', he's once again one of the Stone's forms (alongside Marx this time) and a sticker.
** In ''Star Allies'', he's yet again one of the Stone's forms, this time with the appearance of him from ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe''.
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: [[AllThereInTheManual In the July 2017 issue]] of ''Nintendo DREAM'', it was revealed that Shopkeeper Magolor from the ''Kirby Clash'' games, which are set in an AlternateContinuity separate from the main series, is in fact the same Magolor from the main timeline. [[spoiler:The Magolor Epilogue in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' explicitly confirms this, with him escaping Another Dimension after his defeat and landing in the Dream Kingdom, where he later plants the Gem Apple tree and sets up shop.]]
* CastingAShadow: He's shown to have shadow magic in ''Dream Collection'', but his powers are amplified after putting on the Master Crown in ''Return to Dream Land''.
* CatsAreMean: If [[https://twitter.com/kirby_jp/status/1495962109636923393 this tweet]] is any indication, Magolor's design is supposed to be somewhat cat-like. The "mean" part comes in at the end of ''Return to Dream Land'', where he betrays Kirby and friends in order to get his hands on [[CrownOfPower the Master Crown]] and [[GalacticConqueror rule the universe]].
* CatsAreSuperior: The cat-like Magolor is one of the smartest characters in the series, capable of deceiving Kirby and friends -- even [[TheCowl Meta Knight]] -- for his own ends. Even without the Master Crown powering him up, he's also one of the strongest magic users in the franchise, and an incredibly powerful MagicKnight in ''Star Allies''.
* TheChessmaster: His evil plan involves Kirby and co. recovering the Master Crown from Landia, which grants limitless power to the wearer.
* ClothingDamage: His appearance in the Magolor Epilogue has his robes tattered and discoloured, to reflect how he's a shell of his former self. It also confirms he has actual ears under his hood.
* CompositeCharacter: He borrows various elements and movesets from previous bosses.
* ContinueYourMissionDammit: If you talk to him more than six times in both ''Return to Dream Land'' and ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'', Magolor will tell you to go out on your adventure.
* ContinuityNod: Some of his quotes in ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' are modified versions of his quotes from ''Return to Dream Land''.
* 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]].]]
* CoolShip: His Lor Starcutter. He mentions that it can do interdimensional travel and it was made by the ancient people (the same people who made the "clockwork stars"). It also becomes the penultimate boss in an UnexpectedShmupLevel[[note]]akin to how Kirby collected the power stars from different planets to assemble Nova, only for Marx to turn it against him[[/note]] after Magolor takes on the Master Crown. In ''Star Allies'', he can even summon it for friends to ride on.
* DarkIsEvil: Magolor EX trades his red, blue, and white color palette for a darker [[RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver black-and-maroon]] one. Magolor Soul plays the trope even straighter, being a grotesque EldritchAbomination who's primarily black and navy blue.
* ADayInTheLimelight: ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' adds the Magolor Epilogue, which turns him into a playable character and shows how he recovered from his defeat at the end of the main story.
* DePower: Happens to him in the Magolor Epilogue. After he loses the Master Crown's power, Magolor gets banished to the far reaches of Another Dimension, where he loses all his abilities beyond a weak EnergyBall and a short burst of levitation. Regaining his powers involves defeating enemies to earn MP for enhancing his moveset.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Gets upgraded to this status in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', which makes him the focus of [[ADayInTheLimelight his own bonus campaign]] and gives him a more prominent role in gameplay.
* 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.]]
* TheDogBitesBack: [[spoiler:After being possessed by the Master Crown and being depowered by it after being defeated by Kirby, Magolor slices the Crown's tree body in half with a Ultra Sword of his own at the end of Magolor Epilogue.]]
* DualWielding: In his second form, after he TurnsRed, he'll wield 2 Ultra Swords at once and swings them at the player. As Magolor Soul, he wields two huge Galaxias instead.
* DubNameChange: Called "Mahoroa" in Japanese.
* DualWielding: In his second form, he wields two massive dark swords when he uses his Ultra Sword attack. As Magolor Soul, they become dark versions of Galaxia.
* 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.
* EldritchAbomination: Not normally, but his second boss form is quite a bizarre creature; the "horns" of his hood now take up his entire body, the Master Crown wraps around him like tentacles (as well as giving him a pair of flaming wings), and his mouth is sometimes shown to contain an [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eyeball]]. His Extra Mode counterpart, Magolor Soul, is naturally an even creepier version of this design.
* EmptyShell: You've already destroyed the real Magolor once he becomes [[IronicName Magolor Soul]]; now he's just a soulless husk that the Master Crown is channeling its powers through. Luckily, he gets better.
* EnergyBall: In ''Dream Collection'' and ''Star Allies'', he can shoot balls of dark energy. In the latter, it can be [[ChargedAttack charged]] to make him fire a set of twirling {{Fireballs}}. His boss form can also do it; his second form (and Magolor Soul) can also encase himself in a large energy ball and then move slowly across the screen, somewhat mimicking the Flare Beam.
* EvilAllAlong: Zigzagged. Just like Marx, he was manipulating Kirby and friends for his own ends. However, the "take over the universe" part of his plan was of his own volition, though the Master Crown has [[OmnicidalManiac other plans]]...
* 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.
* EvilOverlord: His initial motivation is to take over the universe. He drops it after being beaten by Kirby and seeing what the Master Crown did to him.
* EvilSorcerer: He's a gifted magician even without being empowered. His first form, immediately after putting on the Master Crown ramps this up even further. His later appearances drop the "evil" part.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Learns this the hard way when the Master Crown ends up completely possessing him, turning him into Magolor Soul.
* ExBigBad: His debut in ''Return to Dream Land'' (and by extension, the ''Deluxe'' remake) remains the only appearance where he takes the role of a villain, with all of his appearances afterwards depicting him as having undergone a HeelFaceTurn and becoming genuine friends with Kirby.
* EyesDoNotBelongThere: In his second and Soul forms, his mouth turns into a red eye. [[spoiler:Magolor Soul's extra phase in ''Deluxe'''s True Arena gets rid of his original two eyes, leaving only the eye in his mouth.]]
* {{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.]]
* FireIceLightning: In his second form, he normally only has two of three (Monster Flame and Flare Beam), but his Soul form adds an ice effect to his new Grand Hammer attack.
* FloatingLimbs: He seems to have invisible limbs connected to his hands. As his boss forms, said hands are accompanied by a circular symbol each.
* FlunkyBoss: His first form can summon small Sphere Doomers to attack the player. His second form (and Magolor Soul) can juggle different kinds of mooks around and then throw them at you.
* FrictionlessIce: His modified Grand Snow Hammer attack as Magolor Soul has [[ElementalWeapon the hammer being icy]], resulting in [[SpikesOfDoom spikes of ice]] that leaves patches of slippery ice on the ground for several seconds.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: 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.
* TheGadfly: Ever since ''Dream Collection Special Edition'', he's a bit more mischievous, though still ultimately friendly.
** In ''Dream Collection'' itself, he occasionally attacks you and summons enemies to obstruct your progress during the Magolor Races, and laughs haughtily if he wins.
** In ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe'', in the [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything level C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Reprise)]], he occasionally pulls a blindfold banner to obstruct the player's view. He'll even giggle if he's around when Dedede falls into a pit or at the end of the section.
** In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash'', he has at least one line where he says that now that Kirby has bought all of his equipment, he'll quote his WhamLine from ''Return to Dream Land'' and declares that he'll take over the Dream Kingdom... and he reveals that he's just kidding.
* GalacticConqueror: He plans to rule the entire universe by wearing the Master Crown, and he very much has the power to do so. [[spoiler:That's his intended endgame, at least. The Crown would have corrupted him into [[OmnicidalManiac something even worse]].]]
* GoKartingWithBowser: Magolor has a few friendly races with Kirby in ''Kirby's Dream Collection''. {{Justified|Trope}}, as the game marks his HeelFaceTurn.
* GreenThumb: One of his attacks is to create multiple vine sprouts from dimensional holes in the air, similar to one of Marx's attacks.
* HadesShaded: When he wears the Master Crown, his skin turns from dark brown to inky black. By this point, he's been revealed as the BigBad of the game. [[spoiler:It's likely a visual indication that the Master Crown has magnified the darkness in his heart, considering the visual similarities between Magolor Soul and Dark Matter.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: As of ''Kirby's Dream Collection'', he seems to have reformed, and truly wishes to be a friend of Kirby. He builds him an amusement park as an apology, does nothing more malicious than attack him during his race challenges, and leaves amicably on the Lor while waving goodbye. The exact moment this happens is covered in the Magolor Epilogue.
* 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.]]
* HeroesPreferSwords: [[spoiler:At the end of the Magolor Epilogue, he picks up an ordinary-looking sword lying on the Master Crown's battle arena and transforms it into the Ultra Sword he uses in ''Star Allies'', cementing that he's redeemed himself.]]
* 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.]]
* HiddenDepths: Apparently, Magolor has a knack for building amusement parks, which is shown in both ''Kirby's Dream Collection'' and ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe'' (as per WordOfGod).[[invoked]] It's stated in ''Deluxe'' that this has been a lifelong dream for him, though it's unknown if this is genuine or if it's a lie that [[BecomingTheMask wound up becoming true.]]
* HonestJohnsDealership: Characterized as this ever since his HeelFaceTurn. He's still portrayed as a "liar", but more in the sense of being sneaky and shady rather than outright malicious, and he's usually some form of merchant or service provider.
* IconicItem: Gem Apples, the PremiumCurrency of the ''Kirby Clash'' games. His Shoppe in the games wheels and deals exclusively in Gem Apples, and in ''Star Allies'' he has a move where he shoots Gem Apples as a projectile. [[spoiler:''Magolor Epilogue'' even reveals how he obtained the first Gem Apple.]]
* InformedAbility: He's the captain of the Lor Starcutter and requires you to find the energy spheres for him, but he never actually repairs the ship. At least not in front of Kirby.
* InterfaceScrew: Magolor Soul has a move where he turns the screen upside down, much like Ice Sphere Doomer EX.
* KamehameHadoken: One of his attacks has him fire a large laser beam from both hands, mimicking Marx. In his second form (and as Magolor Soul), he can also fire it towards a portal, which causes the laser to come out from another portal, covering more of the screen.
* KnightOfCerebus: Let's just say that when he puts the Master Crown on, things get '''serious'''.
* KubrickStare: [[https://wikirby.com/wiki/File:KRtDLD_Magolor_Soul_screenshot.png Magolor's second form does this]] whenever the eyeball shows up in his grinning mouth. It's even more prominent in his Soul form where the eye appears more often, [[spoiler:and finally becomes front and center in ''Deluxe'''s True Arena where it is not only permanently visible, but come the second phase, it's the only eye he displays.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjWydqMtt5U This one.]] It gets [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POPD80fxcD4 a sinister remix]] later on.
* LovableTraitor: Although Magolor manipulated Kirby in order to get his hands on the [[CrownOfPower Master Crown]] in his first appearance, it's hard to hold it against him when he [[TheAtoner did everything in his power to make amends]]. [[spoiler:It helps that he personally destroyed the Master Crown in the Magolor Epilogue, thus ensuring that it can no longer corrupt anyone else as it did when he wore the crown.]]
* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: In the Story Mode-exclusive final phase, Magolor summons a star-shield to protect himself and can only be destroyed piece by piece with three Super Abilities. In ''Star Allies,'' he can summon a smaller (albeit weaker) version of it while guarding.
* MagicalClown: When he puts on the Master Crown, he turns into a [[CourtJester jester-like creature]] with all sorts of powers. One attack when he goes OneWingedAngel in particular has him juggling a bunch of enemies to fire at Kirby.
* ManipulativeBastard: He manipulated Kirby to defeat Landia in order to take his crown for himself.
* MeaningfulBackgroundEvent: If you watch closely in his boss stage (inside Another Dimension) there's a star-shaped portal to Planet Popstar in the background. Said portal initially is off-center, then somehow moves to the center before slowly becoming larger, implying that the room is moving towards Popstar.
* {{Microtransactions}}: In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash'', Magolor handles it. In the former game in particular, he'll tell you to buy Gem Apples (the game's currency) on Sunday (or Magolor Day as he calls it) because the player will get more.
* MoneyMauling: In ''Kirby Star Allies'', one of his attacks is to throw exploding Gem Apples; AKA, the currency of ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' ([[{{Microtransactions}} which you probably spent real money on]]).
* MrExposition: Collect all of the Lor Starcutter parts, and he'll tell you the beginning of his adventure. Collect all 120 of the Energy Spheres, and he'll share some secrets, including how he apparently has heard of Kirby some time before the game, and he had a friend that told him all about Kirby. It's heavily implied that said friend was Marx.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: A possible in-universe example. [[spoiler:In ''Star Allies'', a few words of an alien language spoken by Hyness and his followers are revealed. In said language "Lor" actually means "paradise", while "Mafo"[[note]]In Japanese, "f" and "h" sounds are very similar and sometimes conflated[[/note]] means "lie". Going by that, Magolor's Japanese name could possibly mean ''"False Paradise"'' in-universe.]]
* NeverBareheaded: He's never seen without his hood up; one of his lines in the original Wii version of ''Return to Dream Land'' implies he has hair, but we never get to see it. The most we get to see of his head is when his hood gets torn during Magolor Epilogue, exposing one of his cat-like ears.
* NoMouth: Like many Kirby characters, he doesn't seem to to have a mouth (that, or it's covered by his scarf). Magolor's second form reveals that he does have a mouth... that has an [[EyesDoNotBelongThere eye]] inside it.
* NonIndicativeName: Magolor Soul is (implied to be) anything but; the pause description of it says that it's merely an empty shell that's manipulated by the Master Crown to manifest its powers through.
* OneWingedAngel: After defeating Magolor for the first time, the Master Crown revives and corrupts him, turning him into a large black orb with much larger ears, a [[PerpetualSmiler gigantic, fixated grin]] on his face with [[EyesDoNotBelongThere red eye in it]], and the Master Crown wrapping itself around his body, with two large wings portruding from its back and releasing red and blue flames.
* PaletteSwap:
** In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash'', he wears a plainer white and green variant of his usual costume. [[spoiler:He later goes back to his usual white and blue after you buy every equipment from his Shoppe.]]
** Magolor EX is a simple recolor of his first boss form.
** Due to ''Kirby Star Allies'' having different colored Friends, this trope is also in effect if Magolor is player 2, 3, or 4.
** The Magolor Epilogue of ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' turns Magolor's robes [[GloomyGray grey]] and tattered to show that he has [[{{Depower}} lost his powers]]. [[spoiler:After escaping Another Dimension and awakening in Dream Kingdom, he changes into his shopkeeper robes from the ''Kirby Clash'' games.]]
* PerpetualSmiler: His final form and Magolor Soul's face appears to be fixed in a perpetual hollow grin, with the mouth containing a red eye that occasionally gets revealed.
* PlayingWithFire: One of his first boss form's attacks is to fire flame shots from the background, while his second boss form uses a copy of Monster Flame. In ''Star Allies'', it's his ChargedAttack that can burn grass.
* PowerCopying: In his final form, he uses your Super Abilities to fight against you. It's possible that he [[AwesomenessByAnalysis used his star shield to record them]] whenever you smash him (during his first form).
* PowerMakesYourVoiceDeep: He normally has a very squeaky voice, but it becomes a ''very'' deep growl once he puts on [[AmplifierArtifact the Master Crown]].
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Come his HeelFaceTurn, Magolor's previously-parodying notions of friendship and comradery become his genuine modus operandi, doing virtually everything from that point on for the sake of creating for and assisting his friends, and swearing by this notion even in his Guest Star campaign of ''Star Allies.'' [[HonestJohnsDealership With just a smidgen of trickery and snake oil salesman practices to grease the wheels a bit, of course.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: According to the Japanese and Korean pause menu descriptions for [[TrueFinalBoss Magolor Soul]] in the original Wii version and all versions in ''Deluxe'', the Master Crown has corrupted his soul with hatred and obsession. [[spoiler:The Magolor Epilogue reveals that this would have eventually transformed him into an OmnicidalManiac, like all the Master Crown's other victims.]]
* PromotedToPlayable: He returns in ''Kirby Star Allies'' as a summonable Dream Friend. ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' gives him his own playable campaign, the Magolor Epilogue.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Whenever Magolor uses his strongest attacks, his own version of the Super Abilities, the background turns dull purple. [[spoiler:When Magolor Soul TurnsRed in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena, he constantly flashes purple to signify that the Master Crown is now in full control.]]
* RammingAlwaysWorks: One of his second form's (and Magolor Soul's) attacks is him going into a dimensional portal, then coming out of it while trying to ram Kirby and co from different directions. It's also cannot be blocked. He uses a similar move in ''Star Allies'', this time based on his high-speed dash in ''Dream Collection''. His Friend Ability is to summon the Lor Starcutter and use it to ram obstacles and enemies (after his friends board them).
* RealityWarper: Once he gains the Master Crown, he's able to manipulate and even weaponize the very fabric of reality.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: When he puts on the Master Crown and transforms, his eyes turn orange-red. In his second form and Magolor Soul, he even gets a red eye in his mouth.
* ReformedButNotTamed: Even after turning over to the side of good for keeps (as evidenced by him destroying the very ArtifactOfDoom he sought after for limitless power in ''Magolor Epilogue''), he retains his trickster, [[TheGadfly gadfly]] attitude, even still harboring some occasional resentment that he had to depend on Kirby to kick him down several notches.
* SayMyName: After defeating Magolor Soul, he screams Kirby's name in agony as he slowly dissolves away.
* ShapingYourAttacks: One of his second form's (and Magolor Soul's) attacks is him going to the background and then creating shapes out of dark fumes, which he then pushes to the foreground, and then it stays for a few seconds as a hazard. You have to guide Kirby and co to a potential safe spot before he pushes the shape forward.
* ASinisterClue: Take a good look at how he attacks when you fight him, especially in his first form. He favors his left hand.
* SpikesOfDoom: In ''Star Allies'', one of his attacks is to create multiple tall spikes around him. He can do this as a boss, too. He second form can even blast them in multiple directions using portals.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: For Marx. Sets Kirby up to go on a quest, collect stuff important to his plot, in order to obtain great power? Marx did it first. Bonus points for the fact that his True Final Boss form is called Magolor Soul (though technically Drawcia did that first), as well as having some of Marx's attacks. There's also a bit of Zero and 0[[superscript:2]] in his final form, with the blood red eye gaping from what would otherwise be a smile. ''Planet Robobot'' even has a statue of the two together as a form Stone Kirby can take, and multiple pieces of artwork provided by the official Kirby twitter depict the two of them committing various forms of mischief.
* TacticalSuicideBoss: In the story mode-only battle against him, in the phase where [[LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe he shields himself]], he'll always conveniently summon "super-mooks" (among the normal mooks) that gives Kirby the Super Abilities that can break his shield.
* TeleportSpam: Like most ''Kirby'' final bosses, he enjoys warping around the boss stage to make it hard for you to hit him.
* ThemeMusicPowerUp: As Magolor Soul in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena, [[spoiler:the theme that plays during the fight, "Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD" from ''Star Allies,'' gets an added chorus when he enters his extra phase. To add to it, when the chorus gets added, you can actually hear what appears to be Magolor's voice crying for help from within Magolor Soul]].
* TookALevelInBadass: Magolor Soul in ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'''s True Arena is given a ''significant'' boost in difficulty compared to the original game, with [[spoiler:more wide-spanning attacks, trickier moves, and more aggressive behavior, as well as a ''second phase'' where he unleashes all his Super Ability moves in quick succession, including two ''new'' super abilities based on Sand and Mecha]]. His boss theme even changes from "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" to a new arrangement of [[spoiler:Star Allies' "Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD"]] to mark that the player's in for a rough time if they were expecting the normal Soul fight.
* TragicMonster: It's merely [[ImpliedTrope implied]] in the original Wii international localizations, but he's this in the Japanese and Korean versions and all versions of ''Deluxe''. By the time he becomes [[TrueFinalBoss Magolor Soul]], the Master Crown has corrupted him into an EmptyShell animated by ThePowerOfHate. He gets better.
* TreacherousQuestGiver: He gives helpful hints to Kirby and co. but is secretly a bad guy.
* {{Troll}}: If you buy him out in the ''Kirby Clash'' games, he'll tell Kirby that he now has the resources he needs to [[TakeOverTheWorld conquer the Dream Kingdom]], [[CallBack just like he did]] in ''Return to Dream Land'' after grabbing the Master Crown. It's all a gag.
* {{Tsundere}}: A platonic example. [[spoiler:Magolor Soul's final pause description in ''Deluxe'', written from Magolor's own POV, suggests that he thinks Kirby is an idiot and hates having to rely on him, but likes him enough to good-naturedly [[TheGadfly mess around with him]].]]
* UnexplainedRecovery: Prior to ''Deluxe'', how he survived his first battle with Kirby and regained control of the Lor Starcutter between ''Return to Dream Land'' and ''Dream Collection'' is never shown. [[WordOfGod Shinya Kumazaki]] later revealed on Miiverse that after his defeat, he was teleported to a dimension beyond space and time; it's presumed that it occurs because he's defeated in Another Dimension, and he might've taken up the Lor Starcutter again at some point for him to come back in ''Dream Collection''. ''Deluxe'' finally expands upon this story with the Magolor Epilogue, showing how he ended up in said dimension, how he recovered from his loss to Kirby, and how he redeems himself [[spoiler:leading to his appearances in the ''Kirby Clash'' series, both making those games part of the main canon of the franchise and expanding on Magolor's personal timeline before ''Dream Collection''.]]
* UnreliableNarrator: Magolor omits any details about trying to steal the Master Crown when introducing himself to the player in ''Dream Collection'', only saying that "things got a bit hectic when [he] first arrived" in Dream Land. It also helps hide spoileriffic details for anybody playing the side-games before playing ''Return to Dream Land''.
* VileVillainSaccharineShow: While he isn't nearly as disturbing as other villains in the series, his Master Crown-enhanced forms are unsettling nonetheless. [[spoiler:The Master Crown's pause screen lore indicates he would have ''become'' [[OmnicidalManiac every bit as nasty as he looks]].]]
* VillainousFriendship: Some of his dialogue in ''Return to Dream Land'', the series' anniversary art, and some of the scenes from ''Star Allies'' imply that Magolor is friends with Marx.
* WalkingSpoiler: It's difficult to talk about Magolor without giving away the big twist of ''Return to Dream Land''.
* WaveMotionGun: [[spoiler:Another one of Magolor Soul's new attacks in his extra phase in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena is use his Super version of the Mecha ability, summoning the two blasters Kirby gains while using the ability before firing two massive laser beams that rise upward, requiring Kirby and his friends to move to the far edges of the screen to avoid being caught.]]
* WhamLine: He has one after defeating Landia:
-->''"Bravo, Kirby. You've truly earned your reputation as a hero. Your help defeating Landia was invaluable. Ah... At long last, it's mine! The source of limitless power... The Master Crown! Obtaining this crown has been my ultimate goal all along! (...) Anyway... [[EvilLaugh MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA]]! The time has come for your planet... No! The time has come for the ENTIRE UNIVERSE to bow down to me. And for being such a big help in all of this, your planet gets to go first!"''
** A first-time player might get one from him even earlier when playing ''Deluxe'', as one of the lines for talking to him in the Lor is has been rewritten to include a pretty damning FreudianSlip.
-->''"I'm amazed at how kind everyone is! You're all such [[LastSecondWordSwap easy targe-- Er, I mean, easygoing folks!]]"''
* YellowEyesOfSneakiness: Has yellow eyes and is TheGadfly. In his original appearance in ''Return To Dream Land'', it's the first hint to his traitorous status.
* YouWillNotEvadeMe: One of his attacks is him creating a black hole that tries to suck Kirby and his allies into it. If they don't run against it, they'll fall into the hole and then get heavily damaged, like one of Marx's attacks. He can even do something similar in ''Star Allies''.
