* Dynablade is implied to be a mythological deity in the Kirby universe, like a Kirby alternate to The Phoenix. Is implied to even be immortal. The anime goes further and confirms that there is only one Dynablade and it has come and gone for thousands of years. So what becomes of it's chicks? If they don't grow up into other Dynablades what do they become?

*** That makes the most sense. Kirby tends to cause a few problems while trying to save the day, so Mirror Kirby does the same to you until the true villain is revealed. Meta-Knight has very Templar views on right and wrong, and his mirror self takes it over the edge into villany. And, in Triple Deluxe, Queen Sectonia is turned evil because she used the Dimension Mirror as her own personal looking glass and it amplified her vanity, her most negative trait. (Heck, maybe she was outright replaced by Mirror Sectonia and nobody noticed.)

* Is anyone else kind of annoyed by how some people think ''every'' single villain in the series is some subsidiary of the Dark Matter? I understand that yes, Zero/02 is pretty much the biggest evil in that universe, but not ''everything'' was caused by him. We have the villains who were obviously part of the Dark Matter: that singular swordsman Dark Matter in [=KDL2=], the Dark Matter drone and Zero in [=KDL3=], and then 0[[superscript::2]] in [=K64=]. They're the definite ones. Here we move into the slightly dubious ones, like Dark Mind and Dark Nebula. Dark Mind is probably the Mirror World counterpart of Zero, so that makes sense, and Dark Nebula could be some offshoot of the Dark Matter? But that's it! It gets really annoying when people try to claim that villains like ''Marx'' are part of the Dark Matter. There's no link between them whatsoever, and it's the same with Magolor. He wasn't possessed by Dark Matter, he was possessed by the ''Crown,'' and it was puppeting his body. Is anyone else irked by that?
** Nightmare is also not connected, but equally annoying is that the show made Dark Matter Nightmare's minion, [[{{Mooks}} a throwaway minion]]! Marx is not connected and it is strange people try. Super Star was better received in sales and reviews than the Dark Matter trilogy but Dark Matter to Zero 2 are the most nightmarish monsters to be bosses, and a subsection of the fandom is always gushing about Kirby defeating nightmarish abominations. Maybe they try to tie Dark Matter/Zero into everything to justify is status as a monster worth gushing about?
** Magolor/The Crown itself gets connected to Dark Matter a lot because if you look closely, Magolor Soul is actually a giant floating eyeball that looks very reminiscent of the guy, and he's copying the fake eyes thing 02 did at the beginning of its fight. Nightmare and Marx, on the other hand, have no evidence supporting any possible connection to it.

* Was Meta Knight under the influence of Dark Matter during the ''Revenge of Meta Knight'' storyline in Kirby Super Star or he's just actually evil?
** I think it was more of a Main/WellIntentionedExtremist type of thing, he figured that Dream Land would be better off with him in charge. I mean, look at their current leader.

*** I'm definitely in the WellIntentionedExtremist bucket. MK simply wanted Dream Land to stop being so damn lazy and figured an attack would shock them into action. Of course, all it did was bring the wrath of Kirby upon him. So at least MK found ONE person willing to fight.

*** This troper thinks that Meta Knight is the only one that takes seriously the threat posed by all the nightmarish that lurk in the setting, and he is desperately trying to rouse the SugarBowl inhabitants into doing something about it, hence his decision to hide his SugarBowl appearance behind a darker and grittier mask.

* Are Meta Knight's wings a part of his body or his transformed cape? Most games seem to support the latter, but in Kirby's Return to Dream Land he clearly takes his cape off and casts it aside to reveal his wings.

** Like a lot of real monarchs, he's just expected to be there in an official capacity - no-one takes all his rules to heart. So he rules Dream Land, but people still act pretty freely. It should be worth mentioning at some point that the Waddle Dees apparently ''want'' his as king - in the ending cutscene of 'Revenge of the King' (''Kirby Super Star Ultra'') he's walking down a dusty track with nothing, but Waddle Dees slowly join him until he has a full royal train and entourage.

It would probably be better if Dark Matter had a proper return and more villains were designed to stand alone, unconnected to it.
