Magomarch Day 11: Sphere Doomer

It should think twice next time before stealing an energy sphere to snack on

[desultory-novice]

The Pause Screen lore of the Sphere Doomers EX really surprised me. If I understood it correctly, they're connected to Fecto Elfilis!? They look nothing alike!

What's your take?

Got two different asks about this, so it's time to tackle the question of just what the Sphere Doomers are! (Hint: I have no answers, only curious speculation! But I think both of you are on the right track! ... If there IS a right track! This game sure shook up a lot of previously held Kirby fanon, huh?)

So, let's look at both versions of their, shall we say, "most interesting" Pause Screen Lore!

[EN] 

Halcandra stands alone, only reachable by passing through other dimensions... The Doomers, long ago, had a different form and could warp space and time... Is that why they seek the spheres

[JP - Mine]

Halcandran hovers silently in a different universe. Another Dimension is the gap space surrounding that universe. But why do the Doomers seek Energy Spheres? It is said, in ancient times, they looked different than they do now, and wielded the power to cross dimensions, but now...

-

Maybe it's just the phrasing, but I think the Japanese makes the fact that there could be a significant difference between how they looked in ancient times (the time OF the Ancients being implied here) and how they look now feel like a much stronger possibility.

Honestly, the theory that they're similar to Elfilis's species is a pretty good one! (I didn't spot anything myself to confirm that outside the possibility that their powers could be inborn - unless I missed another clue - but it is an interesting idea!)

That said, the main thing that I get from this is that the Doomers are probably all that is left of a highly corrupted former species.

Look at them! Their jagged mouths just don't SEEM right, as if that was a development they gained as their bodies broke apart. Speaking of their bodies breaking apart, their bodies being made of this weird, swirling energy? I don't think they were like that originally either...

This is all speculation, so let's go wild!

I think they probably took on the form they hold now due to an extended period of wandering the gaps between dimensions.

I mean, we've all sort of got the feeling it's not healthy to stay there long. Why build devices like the Lor, that can travel through them in a flash if you could just kind of swim or float or take an ordinary craft through there? I think Another Dimension is probably a somewhat toxic, corrosive space, and that maybe that contributed to the corruption of WHATEVER life forms the Doomers used to be.

The other key is pointing out why they seek the Energy Spheres. We were led to believe they "eat them" - although, wait, now that I think about it, isn't that novel lore......?

(Btw, now that we have RtDL DX, I can safely say that the novels ARE a different universe from the games. Not only is Kirby and Magolor's relationship in the novel completely different from the one portrayed in the game, there's all these little things the novel says that are just flat out different in game. The novel mentions everything from AD glows with a pale blue light. The game's webpage boldly states that everything from AD glows with a bright colorful rainbow light. You could argue that I'm nitpicking, but these two things released SO close to each other, that the differences have to be purposeful. I can probably go into more details about the differences, but as far as I'm concerned LSatLW is officially a non-canon adaptation of RtDL.)

So, okay, they want them at least. Which is INTERESTING, because ideally what you'd want them for is the power to travel dimensions, right? Or...to operate other Halcandran technology...???

Outside of the Grand Doomer, the other doomers don't seem to possess the ability to cross over into dimensions, like the one Pop Star is apart of. They're confined to the gap. Are they trying to get their original power back by collecting spheres...?

The other question is, how did they lose that power in the first place? Were they, like Elfilis, drained of their power to fuel the Ancient's ambitions? Are they now mad, lingering ghosts trying to get what they lost back? (All of which, it must be said, fits in very well thematically with Magolor's epilogue, about the pain of previous generations who suffered due to the Master Crown's destructive capabilities, and Magolor's own quest to rebuild himself.)

Or was their power to travel across dimensions artificial?

Where THEY the Ancients? (Or some other species that got looped into what we know as the Ancients. Assuming Hyness is still one. At this point, I'm not laying down chips that anyone's an Ancient XD ) I'm reminded of the theory that the residents of Pop Star are what became of the Ancients after they left for their "land of dreams."

Something interesting that might connect these ideas is we don't just have the Doomers.

We have a variety of species who appear to have suffered the same corruption the Doomers did. And if you squint, remove the fangs, and cover them up, some of them vaguely resemble the kind of life we see on Pop Star. Waddle Dees, Bronto Burts, Gordos and the like!

...All I can say for sure is that I'm definitely looking at the Sphere Doomers now as if they are "ghosts" rather than some malicious, unknowable space entities.

reggiebear_ Weekly Art Prompt #3 - "Award"

What's one way to be presented some Energy Spheres as an award to you? Defeating Sphere Doomers!

Sphere Doomers are spectral bird-like entities crossing Another Dimension. If you defeat them, you'll be awarded with Energy Spheres. Maybe you can complete your collection!

Made on June 1, 2023 for the reggiebear_ Weekly Art Prompt.

Fun fact:according to the mew translation of return to dreamland deluxe

The sphere doomers are stated to once had a different form

And in Spanish their name is esfespectro which is the mix of the spanish words for “sphere” and “spectrum” also implying they might not be very ‘alive’

Energy Snack

Based on a headcanon where I think Kirby and Meta Knight are sort of related to the Doomers

Kirbtober Day 24: Another Dimension

YOO HAPPY B-DAY TO MAGS!!!

[dark-mega]

What does all this have in common? Thunder,fire and ice. If this are kinds of magic like the mage sisters showcase because… magic, then Dedede could possibly be the magic user with the greatest potential of all the series since he doesn’t need outside powers to give him the ability of the elements since dedede can naturally tap into these (the ice pillar, the charged fire hammer and the electrokinesis) and he isn’t a demonic creature which can clearly tap into these powers (void being void, dark nebula being dark matter, Master crown giving Magolor the power) and if we see closely there’s also darkness in all the mentioned examples of this elements being together (purple and rampaging doomers, Hyness, Void termina being full of darkness, DARK nebula and Magolor soul is clearly very dark considering that EYE) then that means dedede being posses by dark forces so frequently may be a signa. Conclusion: Dedede is indeded OP

anyways, you guys wanna hear my hc about king dedede's powers and how they are affected by the environment around him? no? damn that's too bad, I'm gonna post it anyways.
