I think there should be a Kirby game where we play as Marx. Nothing as grand and tragic as the tale of Magolor's Epilogue (Though, I would love that, too.) No, what I mean is I want a game where we spend a day in the life of Marx and his one and only objective is to cause problems on purpose.

It's a lovely day in Dreamland, and you are a horrible jester. (Honk! Honk!)

Goals include:

* Replace King Dedede's crown with a paper arts and crafts replica.

* Steal Meta Knight's Mask.

* Frame Magolor for stealing Meta Knight's Mask.

* Sneak into the bakery and mess with the orders, replacing all the happy messages on the cakes with rude phrases. Alternatively, eat all the pastries. (Warning: There is a chance this could unlock a secret boss fight with Kirby. You cannot win.)

*See how many times you can get the sun and moon to fight again.

Marx will always be the most hilarious Kirby villain to me.

He has by far the funniest motivation out of any villain. Most other villains are either big bad conquerors, or are barely sapient as they're just embodiments of hatred/evil, or are minions of greater baddies, or have tragic backstories that led to them being villains, or a combination of the listed criteria there.

But Marx is literally none of that. He just did what he did for the hell of it. He had no real reason to do what he did other than just for kicks and giggles. He did it because he thought it was funny.

Magolor pulled a similar stunt, but he counts as a "big bad conqueror" as he attempted universal conquest. Marx however didn't even care to conquer. He asked Nova to give him enough power to be capable of causing all the mischief he wanted, which is what he literally outright says after making that wish. He just wanted to turn Popstar into his personal stomping ground where he can run rampant with mischief.

This guy is literally the biggest troll of the franchise. I love him for it.

And the funniness doesn't stop there. After defeating him in his boss fight, when you punt him to make him crash onto Nova, you'd think that impact would've been more than enough to kill him....

... But nah, he suddenly comes back out of nowhere in Star Allies! And the lore does even not bother explaining how he survived the Nova impact, LOL. How in the world did he survive that? Unless you're someone that doesn't actually regard dream friends in Star Allies being canon and interpret Marx staying dead. I get that. I personally see it as canon, though.

Another hilarious thing is that he acts as a boss in the credits of the good ending of Heroes in Another Dimension. Basically, after the important stuff is over, Marx then goes right back to being a little shit that causes problems on purpose. Showing that he's still the biggest troll of the franchise.

It's also funny how enigmatic Marx is in the lore. It's unclear whether he actually legitimately redeemed himself or not. I'd say it's valid to headcanon him as either being redeemed or still being a bad guy. Interpretations of Marx vary. They range from being just a silly little dude to still being a literal bastard that's still up to something sinister.

As much as I'd love to see Marx get used in Kirby games more, I actually hope they don't give him a backstory. Or at least, don't give him a tragic one. I think he stands out if he were to stay as just a troll without a sob story, as opposed to many other villains who are more tragic. I bet he'd lie about his origins, too, which would also be funny.

Marx is truly one of the characters of all time, in my opinion. He might not have as much substance behind him as many of the later villains in Kirby, but with the material that we do have, he's truly something.

Kirbo time, pt 2

(Another compilation of Kirby series sketches, memes, and reference study from between roughly 2021-2023. This was when things really started going off the rails - a.k.a. I was falling into Kirby Wiki rabbit holes on the regular and really feeding those escapism brain worms. Wait 'til I show you guys the human designs, hoo boy...)

Elfilin, never trust Marx. Never.
