History Fridge / KirbysReturnToDreamLand

* It's already circulated that the first letter of each world's name spells out the word "CROWNED." But there's another little layer to it. At first, even if you notice it after the first five worlds, then you'd think it's just foreshadowing the prominent crown atop Landia's head. ''Then'', as the level moves onto Egg Engines and Dangerous Dinner, you realize that with that pattern in mind, it's not spelling simply the object, but a word used to signify someone already has it. And with an all-star hero like Kirby leading the way, the crown was already as good as Magolor's.

* The name of the last world is fittingly named after the last meal of the day: Dangerous ''Dinner''.
* Landia seems to have better resistance towards the Master Crown's destructive power than Magolor, if the crown not wrapping around his head and him not receiving a monstrous transformation from the crown are any indication. This makes sense since he has four heads, and may possibly be four dragons fused into one; three of Landia's heads ''aren't'' wearing the Master Crown at any given point of time and therefore aren't influenced by its corruptive power, meaning they can negate its effects.

* The reason why Magolor Soul doesn't use the same attacks as every other Soul boss in the series? The Master Crown drains and consumes the user's soul in order to [[PuppeteerParasite use their body as a puppet.]] Magolor Soul's descriptions also hint that the Master Crown [[DemonicPossession is in control]] and being an object, it has no soul of it's own. As such, Magolor is unable to use [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Void's]] power to [[BackFromTheDead resurrect himself]], hence why his Soul form uses none of the attacks associated with Void and the other Soul bosses.

** Bomb Rally has Meta Knight. Bomb Rally is from ''Nightmare in Dream Land'', a remake of [[VideoGame/KirbysAdventure his debuting game]], and the first time Meta Knight was PromotedToPlayable.

* In ''Deluxe'' the missions to wear a certain masks for certain minigames don't make sense at first. However the characters on those masks ''do'' have a link to those minigames, either through their appearances or personalities.

** Likewise with Bomb Rally. Bomb Rally is from ''Nightmare in Dream Land'', a remake of [[VideoGame/KirbysAdventure his debuting game]].
** Crackity Hack has Dark Meta Knight. Considering that Dark Meta Knight has been shown to be more powerful than Meta Knight, who is already a very powerful character... It makes sense his minigame would be one where he can show off his strength. Crackity Hack was also a sub-game in ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror''.
** Smash Ride has the Daroach mask, and features the Squeaks, his squad.
** Kirby on the Draw has the Marx mask. This is a game that first appeared in ''VideoGame/KirbySuperStarUltra'', where Marx was the BigBad. It's also about destroying things, which fits his character.
** Ninja Dojo has Bandanna Waddle Dee. The game is themed around Ninja Training, and Bandanna Waddle Dee knows quite a bit about that
** Magolor's Tome Trackers has Elfilin. Elfilin is a very helpful person -- in [[VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand his home game]], he helps Kirby find hidden Present Codes in town and [[spoiler:pieces of Leon's soul]] in the postgame. He's perfectly suited for a game about helping Magolor find a book.

* In ''Deluxe'' the missions to wear a certain masks for certain minigames don't make sense at first. However the characters on those masks ''do'' have a link to those minigames, either through their appearances or personality's.
** Egg Catcher has you wear a Dedede mask. In the original version of that minigame, Dedede was throwing those eggs
** Samurai Kirby has a Waddle Doo mask. He was the first opponent in the original Samurai Kirby
** Checkerboard Chase has the Adeline mask, and Checkerboard Chase debuted in VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards, which is the game with Adeline's biggest appearance.
** Likewise with Bomb Rally. Bomb Rally is from Nightmare in Dreamland, a remake of his debuting game
** Crackity Hack has Dark Meta Knight. Considering that Dark Meta Knight has been shown to be more powerful than Meta Knight, who is already a very powerful character...It makes sense his minigame would be one where he can show off his strength
** Smash Ride has the Daroach mask, and features the Squaks, his squad
** Kirby on the Draw has the Marx mask. This is a game about destroying things, which fits his character

** Magolor's Tome Trackers has Elfilin. It's a game about helping Magolor find a book, and Elfilin is a very helpful person
** Booming Blasters, a game about shooting people with laser guns, features Susie, a character associated with futuristic technology

* Take a look at Magolor's name. And then Lor Starcutter. Whether it was intentional or not, both have the word "Lor" in them. This could mean that he and the ship were destined to meet, and possibly that he had good intentions in the first place to [[spoiler:collect the crown. But the crown itself had different ideas...]]

** Kirby Star Allies' postgame reveals that "Lor" means [[spoiler:"Paradise." Magolor could have chosen his name to sound more trustworthy!]]

* During the fight with [[spoiler:the Lor Starcutter]], it [[spoiler: fires stars, launches oars, releases a whirlwind, and attacks you with boomerangs]]. What does it use to do these things? [[spoiler: Its emblem, oars, mast, and wings]], respectively. The [[spoiler: same ones ''you'' had to collect]]. Yeah, that's right, [[spoiler: by collecting all those parts, ''you essentially weaponized the Lor Starcutter'']].
* Look closely at [[spoiler:Magolor Soul, particularly his center. With his mouth exposed and without his trademark robes, he looks less like Magolor's normal form and more like a demon- (or worse, Zero-) possessed ''Kirby.'' Also keep in mind that despite the name, Magolor Soul is a manifestation of the Master Crown, not him. If, say, Kirby had put it on instead, then ''he'' could have turned into that abomination, if not something even '''worse'''.]]

* There's speculation that [[spoiler:the Master Crown itself]] is either a part of or made from Dark Matter. Which could mean that [[spoiler: even Landia wasn't in control of their actions]]. Their eyes are green, then [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]] when they wear the crown. And as soon as it's off, they're blue. I don't think that's a coincidence we should ignore...
** This theory is slightly supported by [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Void Termina]] using a replica of the Master Crown in his boss fight, given how it can resemble Dark Matter in its true form...]]

* Whispy Woods' acquired ship piece could probably not be his fault. When they were flying through the air the oars could have landed in his branches. He attacks Kirby on sight because he doesn't like him; and when he is beaten and does a ChainReactionDestruction it knocks the piece out of his branches.

** Also, look at the state of Halcandra. There's also some speculation that Landia turned it into what it is now (lava, dying nature), if it wasn't that way already.

* Notice how Magolor doesn't even put on the crown. It just floats onto his head. The Crown is no doubt sentient. And evil too. What if it influenced the alien even before the crowning?
