History Characters / KirbyOtherMajorAntagonists

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Unlike Magolor, who only became this trope through his terrifying OneWingedAngel form, the Master Crown plays this trope front and center. Even if it is a creation of the Ancients, it's a '''[[ArtifactOfDoom very]]''' [[ArtifactOfDoom dangerous tool]] if used in the wrong hands, leading to the destruction of countless civilizations. Not only that, but it even [[SoulEating devours the souls]] of those who wear it, turning them into lifeless husks for the crown to use. At this point, it could probably be up there with Star Dream for being one of the darkest villains in the series' history.

* ItCanThink: At first glance, it just looks like a fabled artifact that simply grants its wearer limitless power. However, in the Magolor Epilogue, it reveals itself to be a sentient ArtifactOfDoom that has [[OmnicidalManiac destroyed countless civilizations]] by [[DemonicPossession possessing its wearers]] into destroying them, amplifying the darkness in their hearts and slowly [[DeathOfPersonality ripping apart their souls]].

* VillainousBreakdown: After turning into her Soul form, Drawcia loses it and enters constant shifts in [[LaughingMad insane, high-pitched cackling]] and [[HellIsThatNoise unpleasantly terrifying screeching]].

* AmbiguouslyRelated: It's heavily suggested to be connected to the Dark Matter species, and it ticks off almost all of the boxes. It follows their trademark DarkIsEvil motif (even though it spent most of the game as a large, rainbow-colored cloud), has a prominent EyeMotif, is able to possess people, and of course, only emerges to fight Kirby once he defeats the PreFinalBoss.

* CivilizationDestroyer: In the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions, it is revealed during the Master Crown's boss fight that it has appeared in countless civilizations [[PlanetDestroyer on countless worlds]], and through its power has [[OmnicidalManiac annihilated every]] [[BeastOfTheApocalypse one of them]]. Emphasized by its boss arena, a BattleAmongstTheFlames in a ruined city besieged by meteors.

* LiterallyShatteredLives: When Magolor is defeated at the end of the game, the Master Crown shatters to pieces and its shards are warped to the depths of Another Dimension with him.

* ThinkingUpPortals: Every enemy controlled by the Master Crown gains this ability, from Magolor to a humble Gem Apple.

* VileVillainSaccharineShow: Unlike Magolor, who only became this trope through his terrifying OneWingedAngel form, the Master Crown plays this trope front and center. Even if it is a creation of the Ancients, it's a '''[[ArtifactOfDoom very]]''' [[ArtifactOfDoom dangerous tool]] if used in the wrong hands, leading to the destruction of countless civilizations. Not only that, but it even [[SoulEating devours the souls of those who wear it]], turning them into lifeless husks for the crown to use. At this point, it could probably be up there with Star Dream for being one of the darkest villains in the series' history.
* VillainousBreakdown: It goes through this in the Magolor Soul fight in ''Deluxe's'' True Arena; after he is defeated the first time, the Master Crown asserts full control over his body and finally destroys his soul, indicated by his GlowingEyesOfDoom disappearing completely and leaving the [[RedEyesTakeWarning red eye]] [[EyesDoNotBelongThere in his mouth]] remaining, leaving Magolor to [[AndIMustScream watch helplessly as the crown tries to destroy Kirby]]. It then surges with power and starts flashing a cerulean hue, indicating that it's ''done'' messing around.

* KilledOffForReal: Not stated outright, but he's one of the few ''Kirby'' main villains to never return in a ''Kirby'' instalment, except in remakes, non-canon spin-offs, and minigames, which all but states that Kirby destroying him with the Star Rod ended him for good.

* AlternateCharacterReading: Its leaves are referred to as "双葉" (normally read as ''futaba'', or, "cotyledons") in the Japanese version, but with the furigana "moroha", which means "double-edged sword", which is fitting for those who wield the Master Crown for its power, but the Crown itself controls its wielders to destroy everything.

* AlternateCharacterReading: Its leaves are referred to as "双葉" (normally read as ''futaba'', or, "cotyledons") in the Japanese version, but with the furigana "moroha", which means "double-edged sword".

* PlayingCardMotifs: The leaves it shoots when it transforms into a Gem Apple tree are shaped like the {{ace of spades}}, fitting for a crown that has [[CivilizationDestroyer engineered the end of many countries]] and even [[OmnicidalManiac entire worlds]].

* GoodIsNotNice: He's a Dream Friend in ''Star Allies,'' but that's only because he's doing an EnemyMine with Kirby to stop the Jambastion Cult from ending the universe and destroying the planet he wishes to rule.

** In ''Return to Dream Land'' he definitely had a final boss aura around him, being a giant dragon that was behind Magolor's exile. But then Magolor reveals his true intentions after Landia's defeat, forcing Kirby and co to chase after him with Landia.

* VillainousBreakdown: He experiences this in the True Arena. After Kirby first defeats him, Marx then transforms into Marx Soul and he becomes [[AxCrazy even more unstable than beforehand]]. Also, during his death animation, he ''[[DeathCryEcho screams his lungs out]]'']].

* ShadowArchetype: Marx's sadism and lust for power is a clear representation of what would happen if Kirby's playful, fun-loving personality or incredible power had no love or compassion behind it. Hammering the point home is his similar design to Kirby as a resident of Dream Land (round and cute, and a brightly-colored lavender compared to Kirby's signature pink), his jester hat being a PaletteSwap of the one from Kirby's Mirror power-up (having the same blue and red colors but with their positions reversed) prior to its redesign from ''Planet Robobot'' onwards, and even ''mirroring'' the look of its Mirror Body attack when he splits in half to create a black hole. ''Star Allies'' also assumes that he won't cause any problems "if you keep him well-fed", which only hammers this in even further, given how something similar could be described of [[BigEater Kirby himself]].

* NotSoHarmlessVillain: On paper, her plot is pretty milquetoast compared to what [[TheCorruption Dark Matter]] and Star Dream have or would attempt. She turns Dream Land into a painting, but everyone still seems capable of movement. She doesn't even try to kill Kirby, just curses him and [[KnowWhenToFoldEm runs]]. Then after chasing her across her domain, you beat her and [[MoodWhiplash get]] the series' signature SurpriseCreepy...

** BigBadDuumvirate: "Yin-Yarn" is actually the two knitting needles.

* TokenEvilTeammate: While he is a playable character in ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies'', the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions hint that he has not actually turned over a new leaf and that he is only pulling an EnemyMine for his own personal gain.

* TeethClenchedTeamwork: According to his bio in ''Star Allies'', he's only working with Kirby because he sensed something supremely dark was about to threaten Popstar. Since his wish had been to ''rule'' the Popstar, letting it get obliterated doesn't really line up with his goals.

* VillainousBreakdown: He experiences this in the True Arena. After Kirby first defeats him, Marx then transforms into Marx Soul and he becomes [[AxCrazy even more unstable than beforehand. Also, during his death animation, he ''[[DeathCryEcho screams his lungs out]]'']].

* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: His playable appearance in the final level is very similar to the Starship from ''Super Star'', given that the first part of the final level is a call-back to the Galactic Nova Nucleus level from the same game.

* {{Expy}}: A large red creature who's also an AntiVillain who fights Kirby over a major misunderstanding who later sides with Kirby to stop the BigBad from trying to conquer Dream Land before being shot down by said BigBad? He's clearly a dragon version of Dyna Blade.

* {{Expy}}: With the additional information from ''Deluxe'', it can be seen as one to [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask Majora's Mask]] from ''Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda''. Both are dangerous artifacts that bestow nigh-omnipotent dark magic to their wearers at the cost of amplifying their negative emotions to dangerous levels and outright taking control of them. Both are initially presented as inanimate objects but are soon revealed to be sentient villains who desire complete and utter destruction, and both assume monstrous final forms for their final battles.

* {{Expy}}: His appearance is strikingly similar to Nightmare.

* SadBattleMusic: Standing in stark contrast with the fast and upbeat main boss theme of the game, Landia's boss theme is notably slow and sad, which not only gives off the vibe of this feeling like a final battle, but also demonstrates how Landia isn't evil, but is just an AntiVillain who is only fighting back because he doesn't want the universe to crumble in the hands of the Master Crown.

'''''By the very nature of these characters being standalone villains, a large majority of them are full-blown {{Walking Spoiler}}s, so all details will be completely unmarked, and caution is heavily advised.'''''

** Good luck discussing Marx without revealing his true nature.

** Mentioning even Dark Crafter's existence spoils the game's big twist, especially since it only shows up at the very end of the game.

* BigBadDuumvirate: "Yin-Yarn" is actually the two knitting needles.

* WalkingSpoiler:
** Nightmare is unsurprisingly this, as he's the final boss of ''Adventure''.

** While, unlike most other villain examples, Dracia's existence and BigBad role can be noted without spoiling anything, it's hard to ''seriously'' talk about her without mentioning the fact her Drawcia Soul form heavily influences many moves for almost every {{Superboss}} and several regular {{Final Boss}}es that appeared after her introduction.

!!General
* WalkingSpoiler: Almost all of them are this, as it's very difficult to talk about them without spoiling key details of their respective games.

* WalkingSpoiler: While there is some slight amount of spoilers relating to it being the target for Magolor's secret villain scheme in the original game, come the ''Deluxe'' version it gains a ''massively'' boosted role in the Magolor Epilogue, recontextualizing just about everything behind Magolor's original scheme.
