You’ve heard of Momranza and Haltmom, now get ready for Dadeleine(s)! Here’s Adeleine with my OCs Tache Doo and Archmage Doo, her fathers. Tache is an artist and Archie is a mage who works for Kracko.
My lore for them and how they ended up raising Adeleine is that Tache and Archie traveled to another planet to study the art and magic there, but during their trip they found a baby Adeleine all alone. They searched around to see if they could find her parents/figure out where she came from, but they soon realized that she was all by herself, so they decided to adopt her and brought her back to Popstar.

mimi! ref sheet real omg
EDIT: she now has a toyhouse! it contains much more information about her, and basically everything written below; https://toyhou.se/23164289.mimi
most things are explained down below! (warning huge wall of text tho MIMI LORE ALERT)
ok i will be explaining each of the points in the pic. excuse the way i could phrase things i sometimes have trouble with that LMAO please don't take it the wrong way or anything
Dedede's (adopted) daughter: although dedede did literally throw away lololo and lalala in the anime, he had no choice but to adopt mimi. he can't throw away a whole ass human, and he can't give it away to someone especially since ladylike/memu has another kid on the way. i think LMAO anyway yeah he just. adopted her and trust me they do have a few nice times
Owns a Waddle Dee plush: as a baby, mimi had the habit of just. grabbing a random waddle dee and using it as some kinda stuffed animal and sleep with it. dedede did receive several complaints about it, and as it was getting overwhelming for him, he decided to just buy a plush version of one from NME (like the dog robot kirby once had in the anime), giving it to kid mimi. it's alive, yes! is it dangerous? maybe! but it's still safe to play with and hang out with, but the danger is still a mystery. they're inseparable, like best friends. accessories included (artwork of plush dee coming soon!)
Lives in the castle, brought there as a baby: one random night, just as people were heading to bed, she was brought by a group of waddle dees to a sleepy dedede. the waddle doo being among that group said that "they had no choice, and they were told to keep it", and since that day she hasn't left the castle and stays with dedede in his room until she got her own room! (explained in additional notes)
Sees Escargoon as her "uncle": mimi and escargoon are pretty close. they do share funny moments with eachother, make random snarky remarks together, and he's literally the first one to successfully hush her the first day she arrived at the castle! she did once call him her "second dad", but dedede did NOT like that, so she stuck with "uncle goon"
Born in an unknown northern country: rumor has it that she came from a northern area. something happened in her birthtown, and someone gave her to the aforementioned group of waddle dees. how'd they meet, that person and the dees? up to interpretation, i just like to believe that the person had to walk miles to look for a safe place for baby mimi
Got her Kirby form as a kid: dedede has been messing around with monsters long before kirby came to town. it was one time she left "her" room, and to her luck, a monster her father got "attacked" her! however, meta knight (who knew about her since day one) immediatelly protecting her, causing him to be part of the attack. what was the ability of that monster? no idea :D yet. but it gave her some of mk's, from a lack of better word, dna??? ok this is confusing BUT hey she has the ability to become like kirby and meta knight: a puffball! she did NOT know about it, until one day she suddenly turned into one, while chilling with kirby and friends. what reason? not sure yet aahhhh im tireddd, but that doesn't make her a star warrior or anything..........or does it?
Dedede does NOT know about this form: ever since kirby arrived, she noticed how much dedede wanted to get rid of him. and once she found out about her kirby form, she did panic, thinking that she's gonna be in trouble, and maybe abandoned by her father or something. she was stuck in that form for a while, and her friends tried to hide her whenever dedede was around, until she was able to control this "power" she now has. tiff advised her to not tell her father just in case, too
Additional notes: mimi arrived when tiff was around 2, and tuff was coming pretty soon. once adopted, dedede refused to let her leave the castle, because "it would be embarrassing to be seen with a child". however, rumors have been spread. people asked kabu, and tiff did ask meta knight. but when they asked dedede himself, he would deny it everytime, and escargoon would do the same (perhaps in a more nervous-ish fashion). mimi and dedede argue A LOT, leaving escargoon in charge of calming them down, especially dedede. but that doesn't stop the trio from sharing a few nice moments together. yes, dedede does in fact have a soft spot he only shows towards mimi, hence why she still loves him despite his horrible nature and behavior towards others. how did she escape? i like to believe that one huge argument made her leave the castle out of spite, and that's where she met kirby, his friends and the rest of cappy town! some were shocked, tiff was suspicious of her being a monster and some trap for kirby, and so on. OH YES the room thing! once the secret was out, and things were confirmed, dedede stopped caring too much about her staying in the castle all her life. she got her own room, and more freedom woohoo! yesthismakesnosensebutshhhh
i'll add more another time rah it's 4 in the morning here istg
#feel free to ask more about her! i would be more than happy to answer#artwork's kind of a mess but hey that's alright#man i just wrote mimi lore for minutes straight. i need sleep#my art#kirby#nintendo#artists on tumblr#fanart#kirby nintendo#digital art#kirby fanart#kirby oc#kirby right back at ya#krbay#hoshi no kirby#hoshi no kaabii#kirby of the stars#jazzlanart#jazzlan#jlan#oc art#oc#my oc#ref sheet#art#artwork#digital fanart#csp#csp art#clip studio paint

Meet the Cast: Bandana Waddle Dee
Our next one in the Meet the Cast section is Bandana Waddle Dee. This one is actually fun to write, especially playing a guy who secretly has anxiety but doesn't let that stop him from staying loyal, to friends or to family.
--------------------
"Well, my turn isn't it? Let's get this done."
Basic Information
Name: Bandana Servician
Age: 12 [by the start of Planet Robobot]
Gender: Male
Orientation: Questioning
Hometown: Archeon Town, West Area, Neo Star
Species: Waddle Dee
Ability: Spear
Job: Servant to King Dedede, adventurer
Other names: The Loyal Servant, Bandee ("This nickname was started by His Majesty... then everyone starts calling me like that. I'm fine with that, actually, in fact, I like it!"), Shortass ("Robobot used to call me this. I hate this name. If anyone outside them tries calling me this, I swear...")
Alignment: Lawful Good
One of Kirby's closest sidekicks who willingly joined him after being rescued in a different war, he's always there whenever Kirby gets into shenanigans without absence, whether it's to help His Majesty King Dedede or to give back-up to his best friend. It's usually both. While he probably doesn't initially show it to strangers, he is as loyal and fierce when it comes to his duties to help. His spearmanship is one of the best amongst other waddle dees, and thanks to a small upgrade on his spear and some magnetic gloves his long range lets him to get away with commencing or defending ambushes from the front and back. It also helps that he is the nimblest member of the team, making him the team’s go-to stealth person.
Detailed Information
Goals/Motivation: "I want to keep up with everyone and be as beneficial as I can to the community. Look, I get that I shouldn't overwork myself, Kirby and Robobot complained about it, but hey, I want to be able to stand on my own when I'm alone, and I HATE having to hold everyone back! I need to be the best I can be, so I can keep helping people along the way."
Hobby: "Cooking - it's something I always do at home. I love trying out new recipes from time to time, it definitely helps during travels when your choices are more limited. Especially when His Majesty and Kirby both enjoys food. Also, watching as people enjoy my cooking makes me feel warm."
Favorite Food: "I love apples. They are healthy and some say they keep the doctors away, but mostly, they are quite flexible! I can use it in a lot of ways, like apple juice, apple pie, apple cake, apple wine, apple candy, the list goes on. I love working with this ingredient too when I'm cooking! Definitely a must-have for me."
Least Favorite Food: "I don't have many preferences, but if there's one ingredient I find it hard and scary to work with, it's bitter melon. I am yet to find something that is good and acceptable by all with that specific plant, really..."
Favorite Game Type: "I don't play games often, but I find cooking games actually relaxing. I also enjoy puzzles from time to time!"
Habits: Uses softer censor of words [fiddlesticks, fudge, etc], tends to avoid using his bandana to clean himself ("Hey, I don't want my bandana to get dirty on purpose!"), tends to hide items in his bandana for use
Other Liked Things: "My bandana is a gift from His Majesty King Dedede! He said that it'd look cute on me. It was a honor to wear it everyday. I also have a pin that Captain Waddle Doo gave me to keep the bandana tight and well-kept. Also, I had to give the bandana some ornaments so that in case there are impostors, they will find it harder to mimic me and my no-longer plain bandana..."
Secret: Tends to sneak out to train by himself outside when no one is looking. Robobot Armor tends to come with him sometimes to spar together, but they are a wild card and sometimes reports it to everyone else anyways. He also tends to steal food from Dedede's Castle during incidents, something which Dedede actually knows but decided not to tell anyone, which means that yes, Bandee doesn't know his king knew what he did.
Relationships
Best Friends: "Kirby is my first friend, so he counts. Then Robobot Armor joined us. Honestly, both are equal, just like how he sees both of us the same way. Though, I still prefer Kirby around since I stuck with him the most!"
Rivals: "Is it funny that my rival was Robobot Armor too? Well, we used to be bitter rivals, it's a long story, but now we're cool with each other. We still show some... friendlier shades of that, but it didn't stop us from working together as a team!"
Enemies: "Any enemy to my friends and the king is an enemy of mine too! Also, I don't really like Marx."
Family: "I do have a family, since I was raised in Neo Star. I have 2 siblings and a mom. My dad passed away when I was very, very young, so I don't remember him as much. Though, they are all nice! I do send them letters once a week when no incident happens..."
Crush/Love Interest: "With confidence, I can say I don't have any... yet. Kirby, on the other hand... Well, let's just say EVERYONE CAN SEE IT KIRBY! You don't have to lie~!"
Skills and Abilities
Overview:
Bandana Waddle Dee has practically the Spear ability moveset. However, there's an explaination for all that spear-throwing and pulling this time. After a certain incident in the war, Kirby slotted steel on Bandee's spear's handle to make it magnetic, which he can control with his (admittedly stolen) magnetic gloves. As the result, his range was made bigger than ever. He tends to act as the team's walking spy as he is pretty nimble and runs faster than everyone else by far.
Strength: Bandana's speed and stealth skills become invaluable for the team in various ways. He can run around and do precise attacks, and since his weapon is, well, long, he made sure he can use it to his advantage such as propelling himself to high places, disarming opponents ahead of time, or just cause sudden ambushes. He also can do a fair bit of acrobatics to back it up.
Weakness: While he is fast and experienced in causing opponents to stop and think for a second on how he can be that quick to put opponents down, he is prone to attacks that hit hard. One mistake and he could suffer from the amount of damage he gets in one go. He also finds it hard dealing with machinery-based foes unless Kirby directs him to their weak points to expose.
"It's nice to meet you, by the way. Do you need anything? I'll be glad to help in that case!"

waddle dee and mk headcanons under the cut
even though waddle dees and waddle doos look really similar, and even refer to each other as cousins, waddle doos are actually closely related to Kracko. Waddle doos just happen to look similar and have the same features as waddle dees, but this is misleading. It's basically dreamland's version of carcinization
idk how sailor dee joined MK's crew (in canon or whatever idea is most agreed upon in the fanbase), but I'd like to think he snuck on the ship as a stowaway. he just wanted to see the inside of the ship, but got stuck on it when it actually took off. I guess MK made him do some chores as a small slap on the wrist (although dedede doesnt really count the waddle dees, so itd probably be a while before he notices one missing) but did some thinking and thought it would be good to have extra help on the ship, with ddd's permission of course and the kid's adorable come ON
also sailor dee is small, so they just cleaned up an old broom closet on the ship for him as his quarters; he has a hammock, and a small shelf for personal belongings, clothes, toys, etc. any drawings he makes in his free time get taped to the door by one of the Meta-Knights.
I also mentioned this in the kirby suburbs server god im so sorry for clogging up the channel, but i also have some headcanons for the waddle dees bc i love them
waddle dees use any pronouns (but i usually use he or they), they all wear the same smock. originally i wanted dedede to call each of them using different pronunciations of "waddle dee" like ice king to gunter, but i think the name tag thing is way funnier. its basically dedede wanting to be a little polite and call each of them by their name, so he made the name tag system so he could tell them apart. but the thing is that theyre ALL NAMED WADDLE DEE, so it backfired lmao
but the waddle dees are nice so they kept the name tag thing even after dedede figured out it wasnt gonna work and stopped putting name tags on them. instead, they all made their own name tags bc they like making them and they all wanna feel a little special (and they dont understand WHY they need nametags, for them its like idk why the king wanted us to do this but its ok :) this is fun :))
also it indirectly ended up working anyway because you can tell a little bit of what each waddle dee is like based on their name tag; like one might like baking so they made their name tag shaped like a biscuit, another might like knitting so they knitted a freaking name tag, maybe one really likes being a little fancy so they wrote their name in cursive, or one just wanted to feel included so they scribbled their name on a piece of paper and slapped it on their shirt.
also waddle dees can stick to each other like balloon friction. this can happen accidentally when they cuddle, or when dedede gets bored and wants to see how many waddle dees it takes to reach the ceiling. this is how you get the waddle dee balls in star allies
i cant imagine the waddle dees having a set age, so i threw that out the window, theyre all mcdonalds cup small size. they dont have an age, theres technically no biologically oldest or youngest waddle dee UNLESS you get assigned youngest, which is sailor dee, he is considered youngest waddle dee by popular opinion (dedede usually calls them kids bc theyre jUST LITTLE GUYS!! but this isnt to ship them with adult characters, i just cant think of an age that would best represent them as gijinkas)
when you pick up waddle dees you scoop them up like puppies :)
for my purposes, king dedede became the waddle dees ruler by accident and never bothered to correct them. he found one outside the castle and nursed it back to health, but his robe kind of resembles a kings robe, so it mistook him for a king. and waddle dees have some sort of hive mind, so waddle dees just kept showing up at dedede's castle (he found bandee passed out carrying another waddle dee as opposed to the lone waddle dee, so dedede took a liking to him all the way from the start)
on a related note, bandee is more active and energetic compared to the other waddle dees, which tend to loiter around the castle or outside. kirby likes playing with him because hes usually down to do whatever kirby wants to do, theyre best friends <3
idk how the GSA works in the anime, but im placing meta knight somewhere lower on the warrior hierarchy. not exactly legendary veteran among their ranks, but not unexperienced; they assigned him to popstar long before kirby arrived so he's kind of on standby and doesn't report to them unless they contact him first (and then the GSA disbanded or something and MK never found out and still thinks hes on standby, idk)
so MK is more awkward and by the book because he starts out doing everything the way he was trained, not with a certain experience you earn on the field. he does mellow out, so hes less stiff even though he still keeps to himself. hes not really jaded either, just not very social and not good at conversations (which ppl misinterpret as being cool and edgy? kind of true)
the scar on his face is from the first time he encountered kirby. dreamland is relatively peaceful so he hasnt had to face off against anyone in years, and this was before he and kirby were properly acquainted. thats also what motivatds him to train more of his own free will rather than whats been expected of him, both to be a good role model/mentor/dad to kirby, and to do things for himself.
bandee may be dedede's second in command/kid, but MK is dededes husbands no questions asked. if you ask them if theyre dating dedede will probably say something like "we're bfs," and he doesnt tell you if that means boyfriends or best friends, but its between them so thats that

what do you think about the theory that bandana dee is the waddle dee from kirby 64?
I really love the idea that Bandanna Dee and Crystal Dee are the same! I think I tend to default to that too. Let's do some pondering on this topic and see where that gets us!
Bandee has had their trademark bandanna since the original release of Kirby Super Star. They are a Dee notable for being the main Dee that King Dedede speaks to, for participating in the colosseum (and having the most HP of any Dee ever) and also for having an interest in the Megaton Punch Championship and entering it! (Of their own volition?! Or did King Dedede ask them to join? I think Bandee, at least in later games, would very much join for their own sake!)
Up until Super Star, Dees didn't really dress any one way. They all looked the same. Then we get Bandee and Sailor Dee. Gameplay-wise, this dress is to distinguish them from the other Dees. They're still Waddle Dees at heart. Bandee is even said to have been included in RtDL because they wanted to have a Dee to represent all the other Waddle Dees - and that perhaps “Bandanna Waddle Dee” is more of a meta concept, than an individual Waddle Dee. (Although Bandee's character seems to continue to show growth throughout the series, so I don't know how much that holds water.)
Now there's Crystal Dee...
Crystal Dee is a slightly cowardly but curious Dee. They seem really happy when they first pick up the crystal shard! It IS pretty! Unfortunately, one of the Dark trio shows up and possesses them, turning them into...a Waddle Doo?!
(The implications here are just.......... they're too much. I mean, are we supposed to take from this that Waddle Doo are Dark Mater infected Dees?! The seem kind of chill about that, considering. And they’ve become their own thing now. But they were also there before Dark Matter invaded?? Or is there something else that makes Dees into Doos? Is this related to Kracko? Because Kracko drops Waddle Doos. Wait, is KRACKO ACTUALLY DARK MATTER?!)
Ahem if we place Crystal Shards after Super Star, it would be a little weird for Bandee to not be wearing a Bandanna here, when they wear it in every other appearance. On the other hand, it would also be weird to play the timeline shuffle and place this BEFORE Super Star because Dedede is a lot softer on Kirby here than he is in Super Star, where he's definitely itching for a fight.
But even if there's no explanation for the lost Bandanna (except for the idea that it really was just lost/in the laundry that day) there is some signs that Crystal Dee and Bandee are the same Dee! When Kirby first encounters Crystal Dee, Kirby smiles and waves at them.
This right here tells us that THIS Dee is Kirby's friend. Of that, there is no doubt. (And Kirby is implied to be able to distinguish Bandee from other Dees, even if they aren't wearing their Bandanna.) Plus, Kirby remains friendly to them after the possession. The only other time Kirby really had a chance to have a good, friendly time with a Dee was competing with Bandee in the Megaton Punch Championship. (See, it’s relevant!)
This same Dee is seen interacting with King Dedede later on. Helping the King up and trying to encourage them to join in on the quest. That frank method of speaking with the King (there are no words exchanged here though. Just facial expressions) matches with the way Bandee spoke to the king in Super Star! It doesn't feel like every Dee speaks with Dedede as matter-of-factly as Bandee does, though the King seems to cherish each Dee regardless.
I can't remember if there's more evidence for or against at the moment, but I hope that gives some food for thought for now! Costume aside, there’s no reason Crystal Dee couldn’t be Bandee, because they sure do ACT like Bandee.

HEADCANON WADDLE DEES AND WADDLE DOOS
It should be clarified that it is the first time I am going to do this so I am sorry
=species in general=
•They are two different species, but over time they have formed a bond between all of them
• The Waddle dees are used more for the creation and operation of various things, they are used for growing food and in itself for work of collecting food and creating homes
•for their part, the Waddle doos are used for combat either at a distance or close-up possibly that is why the two species were related to each other
•waddle dees and doos speak their own language that only they understand, very few waddle dees can speak another language and waddle doos know speak other languages almost by default
•The Waddle doos see the dees as small that they cannot take care of themselves, that's why they take great care of them
• The waddle dees have a type of hive mind or something similar for all of them, it is something strange since they can all have their own thoughts, an identity, but they are united by the hive mind Luckily this hive mind helps them not to be controlled or possessed in most cases
•Waddle doos have a harder time socializing than dees
•Everyone considers themselves as one big family including King Dedede
•In the humanized version, the two species consider it a type of taboo to show what their mouth would be, for which they always use a mouth cover or something that covers that part of the face
•As a bonus, both King Dedede and Kirby have mouth covers in case a waddle dee or doo breaks or destroys theirs
•If there is a difference between a possessed waddle dee and a waddle doo, it may be lack of awareness, no ability to speak, no ability to attack
•Babies usually look like newborn puppies
• They call babies "wawas" because meta knight once said that to a baby waddle bandana waddle dee
=Bandana waddle dee=
•Beginning as just one more servant of the lot, but little by little he was raising his position until he was almost like his right hand
•When he became one of the generals of the waddle dees, at the beginning they thought there was going to be a conflict with bandana and general waddle doo In the end waddle doo was proud to see a dee as the front row of combat
•All the waddle dees see him as cool, but he doesn't look like that
•He has a head injury, he doesn't like to talk about what causes it and has made the King unaware of this
•Train with meta knight hidden from the king since they usually do very heavy training
•He admires King Dedede a lot since his beginnings, seeing how he has improved as a governor and becomes stronger over time makes him admire him and follow him wherever he is
•The King sees him as a son and bandana sees him as a father
•Sometimes he dedicates himself to doing the paperwork that the King has to do so as not to leave him so much work
•He really likes being with Kirby and often takes on a big brother role for the pink ball
•He is the twin brother of Sailor waddle dee
=Sailor waddle dee=
•She was adopted by meta knight as a baby, even though meta didn't like the idea, she grew fonder over time
•It is usually strong to carry very heavy things
•All the meta knights were surprised to see that she had chosen an anchor as a weapon, they continue to see how they are going to understand her with that weapon
•meta I give him a knife in case he ever needs it, he has it hidden
•She hasn't had any female figure in his life, even though I don't need it at the moment
•She did not see Dedede as a king in the events of meta knight's revenge but with some time I would see him as a king
•He is a sailor to whom he often says rudeness often
•She has little fights with Kirby for things like where to go to dinner or something like that, nothing serious really
•With bandana he has a good brotherly relationship, he usually helps him in his training
•Shee really likes strong coffee or things with a sour taste, unlike almost all his family who likes sweets
She alone was learning to create some robots as a hobby and during the events of planet robot she stole some books from Susie on robot making

What if Kirby had a traditional fighting game?
Listen, I know I should’ve done more “FNF fighting game characters” but i doubt anyone cared for that, and even then I lost a bit of interest, so if you actually cared sorry about that, you can still come up with whatever you want for the characters I didn’t talk about!
That being said, I think all Kirby fans here know Kirby Fighters 2. Personally speaking most of it was just the same as Kirby Fighters Deluxe BUT there were five playable Dream Friends. FIVE. Priority to the Copy Abilities a bit too high, isn’t it HAL? Sometimes it feels a bit barebones if you ask me. So I’m here to discuss what would a non-platform Kirby fighting game be.
THE GAMEPLAY
It’s the same as any basic fighting game, there isn’t really that much that the Kirby franchise can offer to make the genre a bit more varied, and that’s mostly due to the fact that Kirby makes friends wherever he goes and combat is pretty much straightforward in these platforming games, the crazy stuff comes from learning specific moves with each copy ability/character in the games and that’s also true for this game.
THE PLOT
I have quite a few ideas for how this can go:
-It’s a “what if” re-telling of Kirby Star Allies where Hyness’ ritual (somehow) also causes space-time rifts across the entire universe to be generated, pulling in Kirby villains from previous games but also allies, which would ALSO explain Dream Friends in the game’s canon a bit more properly.
-It happens in an AU. Plot would basically be Kirby Battle Royale’s but instead of shooting a loadshit of Kirbies onto Kirby, Dedede would just call upon all of their friends to fight for that cake before things escalate and Dedede loses control of the tournament to greater evils, forcing him to work with Kirby to stop the threat, be it old or new.
-Another AU idea but this time it’s original/based on Milky Way Wishes. Galactic NOVA appears every thousand years above Pop Star’s skies, and everyone tries to fight for the right to get the wish. Villain wouldn’t necessarily be ONLY Marx though, most of the Kirby villains could easily win against him if they get to NOVA and get their wish granted. Which means yes, all plots happen at once and Kirby has to deal with everyone at once.
-The least interesting idea: it’s Kirby Fighters 2′s plot but without tag team duos and with all Kirbies replaced with the roster.
THE ROSTER
Now we’re about to have some fun.
RETURNING CHARACTERS: The Dream Friends (and Kirby, of course)
-First up, all Dream Friends are coming back. You don’t even need to change their movesets that much, just add/tweak things, but just for funsies (and for a specific reason too) we’ll also give them specific copy abilities or more than one to categorize them.
-Kirby is the specific reason. He has the same moveset as his Smash Bros incarnation, although he incorporates more copy abilities (and also super powerful stuff like the Star Rod that he usually uses in endgame fights) in it now due to being a traditional fighting game. And yes, he still has his inhale. Using it will have the inhale be replaced by another move in-game, the closest one to a “neutral special” in the opponent’s arsenal. His copy ability is therefore, Smash Bros. And since the game has multiple super moves, we can make his gimmicks from the Kumazaki games the super moves: his level 1 would be a random Super Copy Ability from Return to Dreamland (cutscene is random everytime but damage is always the same), his level 2 would be using the Robobot Armor to stomp foes around, ending with a giant ground pound/fist to the ground and his level 3 is Hypernova Kirby due to the inhale being one of his most unique properties.
-Meta Knight and Dedede will also have heavy Smash influences but they’ll also use techniques from most of their boss fights, such as Meta Knight splitting himself in four clones temporarily for an attack or Dedede actually pulling out an axe instead of his hammer for some attacks based on his Triple Deluxe incarnation. Their copy abilities would formally be Sword and Hammer but with heavy Smash Bros inspiration. Meta can also call in for the Meta Knights to help him in one of his unique super moves. They’d all be there except for Sailor Dee and Captain Vul (one’s an alternate costume and the other is never seen outside of dialogue text).
-Bandana Waddle Dee’s moveset incorporates both Spear and Parasol, but due to the Spear being his most used tool he’ll be categorized with that.
-Marx is the first character with Unique as its own copy ability due to his arsenal being entirely based on his boss fight. Inhaling Unique characters doesn’t always allow Kirby to get copy abilities but when it happens he usually has their most basic move replacing the inhale. Gooey is in the same situation, but i have no idea what would Kirby get from him as an ability since he’s technically player 2 in the Dark Matter trilogy’s first 2 games. Rick, Kine and Coo would technically be categorized as Unique only because they have Fire, Water and Wind in their moveset. You could say they’d be stance characters while Marx is a zoner and Gooey a rushdown character.
-Dark Meta Knight is categorized as Mirror, and Adeleine (with Ribbon as an assist of course) is Artist. Daroach would be Animal, which is missing since its debut in Squeak Squad, as far as I can remember, but he naturally still retains his moveset of calling the Squeaks to help him.
-It’s pretty easy to categorize Magolor as ESP, and Taranza as Spider, while I have no idea what would Susie’s ability be even. Spark? She is mostly around in the Robobot Armor to be fair. The Three Mage-Sisters would be treated equally to the Animal Friends
THE NEWCOMERS
-NAGO, CHUCHU & PITCH: The other set of Animal Friends. I theorize a moveset revolving around the Cleaning ability like in Star Allies would be easy to make, although it can also incorporate moves from other abilities that have been in Dream Land 3.
-CHEF KAWASAKI: I think it’s safe to say this one is pretty easy to do just like the returning Dream Friends. He has a unique moveset in comparison to Chef Kirby that also has him use Kirby’s Final Smash from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
-LOLOLO & LALALA: Aside from pushing boxes and Gordos they can be the Ice Climbers of the game, and most importantly one of their super moves could have them fuse into their original form in the anime to reference that further.
-SHADOW KIRBY: A clone (in terms of moveset) for Kirby that lacks the inhale ability and has more attacks based on his appearances in Amazing Mirror (and also on Kirby’s unique ability to split in four in these games) and the Kirby Fighters spinoffs. Simple as it is.
-THE MIDBOSSES: They all play the same as their fights too, so doing a paragraph for each of them would be a bit redundant. I chose to add minibosses in because most of them are pretty iconic among Kirby enemies and some of them are also technically friends of Kirby’s. I picked Bonkers (whose coconut throwing and some special moves could make him different enough from Dedede if you ask me), Mr. Frosty (also because we don’t have an Ice-based character in the game), Buggzy (which I can see being the ultimate grappler), King Doo (because we don’t actually have a Waddle Doo in the roster and he’s technically not only their king but also the most unique of them) and Grand Wheelie (look, I like Wheel as an ability ok? it’s like playing as Sonic in a Kirby game)
-KNUCKLE JOE: Taking stuff from both his Star Allies moveset and his Assist Trophy from Ultimate PLUS a few references to the anime and you have the ultimate Shoto character in the Kirby franchise. Ryu mains, this is the character for you.
-GIM: Look, my three favorite abilities are Yo-Yo, Wheel and ESP, in no particular order, so I HAD to include him and the Grand Wheelie. Magolor covers for ESP enough. This lil fella looks more unique than most of the generic Kirby enemies and even among the copy ability ones he’s always been a bit of an oddball due to being a robot. The trickshots you can do with this copy ability make Gim perfect to camp, so he’d be a pretty good zoner as well.
-TAC: He’s been a Helper in Super Star where he also has an unique moveset. Expanding on it and on Tac being generally a copy ability thief could mean more copy abilities can be implemented in a moveset, probably even more than what Kirby can do. Also his design just screams potential to me.
DLC FIGHTERS
WAVE 1: Spinoff Dream Friends
Cuz these guys have been done dirty by Star Allies’ devs. Elline would be the other Artist character in the game and call for Claycia’s assistance in specific attacks. Prince Fluff would play mostly just like Kirby himself did in Kirby’s Epic Yarn and implement specific transformations in some attacks, ending with the tank one from the end of that game. Then we have Gryll. If you know how to make a Tetris/Puyo Puyo based character in a fighting game then good for you, I absolutely don’t know how. What I KNOW however is that she has a float like Peach’s in Smash Bros and I-No’s in Guilty Gear.
WAVE 2: Dream Villains
These guys would all play exactly like their boss fights. Hyness and Sectonia would remain mostly unchanged while Haltmann in terms of moveset is the same as Susie, just without every non-Robobot move that she has.
WAVE 3: Clash of Blades
THAT’S RIGHT, IT’S ALL ANIME SWORDFIGHTERS. They all pull from their boss fights, but Morpho Knight is gonna be a bit more unique compared to Galacta, Dark Meta and Meta Knight, having in the swordfighter equivalent of Akuma’s Raging Demon. Meanwhile, Dark Matter Swordsman and Galacta Knight are completely faithful to the source material, but they’d probably be a bit nerfed due to Galacta’s universe-breaking powers. (you can bet that if we get the remaining legendary heroes who sealed Void Termina in future games they’d be their own separate Wave 5 DLC pack)
WAVE 4: Revival of Old Faces
Nightmare and Drawcia are back and they’re here to stay! Their movesets don’t really need that much changes. Void however is an entirely different beast. He’d be a mix of Kirby, both Zero incarnations and Dark Matter. His design wouldn’t just be giant orb that switches between Kirby and Dark Matter faces, he’d be Kirby-sized and with legs and stubby lil arms like the pink puffball. And you can bet your ass he’d be broken as fuck.
SKINS
If a character’s appearance changed across the series’ history (like Marx Soul, Girl Blob Gooey, Shoppe Magolor, Mecha Knight, Dark Taranza/Taranza in the Super Kirby Clash games, Masked/Shadow Dedede, Anime!Knuckle Joe, Parallel/Pres. Parallel Susie, EX versions and so on) they’d just be an alternate skin/palette swap for the specific character. Multiple characters of the same species with little changes (like a normal Waddle Dee or Sailor Dee, or literally all Kirby colors including Keeby) are the same. I’m also debating on how Dark Mind would be a skin for Nightmare or if there’d be a skin inspired by him for the Dark Matter Swordsman. Zero and Zero Two would probably be turned into palette swaps/outfits for Void (imagine a white Kirby cosplaying as Zero Two that’d be so cute lol).
ATTACKING ASSIST CHARACTERS
Characters who appear in other characters’ attacks. Like the aforementioned Squeaks, Meta Knights and Claycia. Normal Dark Matter would appear in DM Swordsman’s attacks in some capacity outside of the eye laser and the Gordo Throw would return from Dedede’s previous Smash incarnations alongside the Waddle Dee Throw from Brawl. And naturally Magolor can call in the Lor Starcutter for one of his super moves. I am actually considering giving Tac the ability to throw random items/enemies at opponents, with the Bomber being one of these. It’d be a very RNG attack with the Bomber being the best outcome, blowing on the opponent’s face.
HELPERS
All characters in the game can be called on for an Helper attack, that can help you in some form against the opponent by either damaging or tampering with the opponent or by having you get healed or with some buff. Outside from the playable roster enemies that give you copy abilities would also be Helpers, but the specific ones I’m not so sure on.
BOSSES
Characters you can fight in Arcade mode, in Story mode or in a specific Boss mode. There’d also be a Ganon’s Fury (Hyrule Warriors) inspired mode where you’d play as the bosses pitting them against each other. I specifically picked Dyna Blade, Whispy Woods, Landia, Star Dream, Kracko, Great Edge, Pyribbit, Ice Dragon, Fire Lion, Masher, Grand Mam, Metal General, Kibble Blade and Pon & Con.
STAGES
There’d be quite a lot of stages, but I haven’t thought out specific ones except for Green Greens, Butter Building, a Ripple Star stage, one for Dedede’s castle with stage cameos by Tiff, Tuff and Escargoon from the anime and every final boss’s fighting arena.
THE MUSIC
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is gonna be nothing compared to this one. We’re getting all the important music from all pre-Kumazaki games, all music from Kumazaki games and spinoffs, and online arrangements with focus on orchestral (Desolo Zantas), metal (GaMetal, of course) and EDM (Acid Notation, Qumu and various others), including stuff like Itoki Hana’s vocal arrangements. We’re going all out on this one.
Aaaaand that’s it. Thanks for coming to my TED talk. Stay hydrated.

Long Live the King - 2
In their defense, it was an accident.
Or: The kids are convinced that they killed Dedede and Escargoon. From there, everything goes downhill fast.
It was a testimony to cosmic indifference that while your own world could be ending, the world at large spun on.
There was something surreal about the looming castle, and the utter lack of regard from the sentries posted along its parapets. One or two Waddle Dees gave them a cursory glance as Tiff and Tuff crossed the drawbridge, but otherwise paid them no mind.
The normalcy of it was suffocating.
It was a shared sentiment, apparently. Tuff shrank closer to her side as they passed by a squad in the middle of morning drills.
“Do you think we should have waited a little while, before we came back?” he asked under his breath.
“And have our absence overlap with theirs? It would look suspicious.” Tiff shook her head. “Besides, we’re supposed to be pretending nothing’s different. Remember?”
He screwed up his face. “I wish I didn’t.”
“We’ll be fine,” she said, with the kind of surety clearly intended for someone else’s benefit. “Just give it a couple days. As long as we stay calm, no one’s going to—”
“Oi! You two!”
They flinched.
“‘Stay calm,’ huh?” he asked through clenched teeth.
“Shut up.”
From the direction of the courtyard hurried Waddle Doo, the brow of his single eye furrowed. There was a notable urgency to his steps. “Sorry for the abruptness,” he said, as he skidded to a halt, “but have either of you seen His Majesty or His Excellency?”
She could feel the beginning of a cold sweat on the back of her neck. Not trusting herself to speak, she shook her head.
Tuff recovered first. In a passably offhand voice, he asked, “They’re missing?”
“I’m afraid so.” He folded his arms, his eye downcast. “The king wasn’t in his chambers when I went to rouse him. I thought he might have joined Escargoon in the dungeon to do the early broadcast, but they weren’t down there, either. And none of the guards reported seeing them during their shifts.” His gaze flickered back to them. “You’re sure you didn’t pass them when you were…”
Tiff didn’t like the look of renewed consideration he was giving them.
“Hang on, what were you doing out so early?”
“Taking a walk,” she answered. Not technically a lie. “I’m really sorry, but we don’t know where they are.”
After all, it’s not like they’d actually seen where their bodies ended up.
It took every shred of willpower to not sag with relief when Waddle Doo redirected his gaze to a point beyond their shoulders. “Well, all right,” he replied, a tad distractedly. “I just figured since—well, it doesn’t matter. If you do happen to hear anything, please pass that information along to my guards. Have a good morning.”
As he trailed off in the direction of the fountain, Tiff caught a snippet of him muttering under his breath: “This isn’t right. This isn’t like them…”
She waited until he was well out of earshot before she broke the silence (and even then, the words came out as more of a whisper). “That was unlucky.”
“Yeah, I’ll say.”
“You think that could be a problem?”
Reflexively, Tuff ran a hand through his hair, frowning. “On second thought,” he began, “maybe we should head down to the village for a while. Kill some time.”
Tiff fixed him with a rather waspish stare.
“What?”
And then it clicked.
“Oh. Bad choice of words.”
“You think?”
The morning came and went, and with it, the number of places for them to loiter without looking conspicuous.
They made a point of avoiding the main road and central plaza, but Cappy Town wasn’t, in the grand scheme of things, a big place. There were only so many alleys and side streets they could hang out before an inquisitive Cappy spotted them and waved. (Or, as was nearly the case, dump a bucket of mop water on them from a second-story window.)
The final straw came for Tuff when they were walking in front of Kawasaki’s restaurant, and the sound of laughter froze him in his tracks.
“Honey and Iro,” he said, and sure enough, the pair darted into view a few seconds later, kicking a ball back and forth. They hadn’t noticed them yet.
He grabbed at Tiff’s sleeve. “They’ll ask if I want to play,” he mumbled, “and I really don’t think I can say no and explain why…”
Her eyes darted back and forth, before settling on the red sliding door.
Tuff followed her gaze, and stiffened. “Oh, no,” he said, “I already puked once today.”
“No one goes in there! Look, unless you can think of a better place to hide—”
“There’s a reason no one goes in there, Tiff—”
“His cooking’s gotten better. Now move.” With a firm shove, she steered them inside.
The second the door slid shut behind them, they leaned back into the lattice, and sighed.
“—scared me half to death when he burst in. I nearly sliced my hand off while chopping the potatoes! Poor little fella looked so put out when I couldn’t tell him anything.”
“I suppose I’m not surprised. Waddle Doo has been captain of the guard for years. He must feel like he failed them,” said Mayor Len.
Whatever momentary relief Tiff had felt evaporated. Thank every higher power she could name that Kawasaki, Len, and Hana were too engrossed in their conversation to have noticed them yet.
“And he had no idea where they could’ve gone?” Hana asked, lowering her glass.
Kawasaki shrugged. “If he’s checking here of all places, then I think he’s getting desperate. Personally, I think he’s blowing things out of proportion. They’ll turn up, sooner or later. Besides, Waddle Doo can’t afford to worry—he’s already two hairs shy of going bald.”
Len’s mustache twitched, as if he were suppressing a smile. (At the warning look Hana shot him, he quickly schooled his expression.)
“Did you offer to help him?” she inquired.
“Well, I was gonna get him something to eat, but he ran out the door before I got as far as, ‘Do you want that for here, or to go?’”
Hana prodded at her plate with a fork. “I hope you’re right about this being nothing. I was starting to get used to things being uneventful around—”
The abrupt clatter of the door startled them.
Kawasaki turned. “Welcome to—”
The entryway was empty, save for the cool breeze blowing through it.
“I could have sworn…” With a shrug, he crossed the room and closed it.
“That…was…too…close,” said Tiff in between gasps.
Whatever Tuff tried to say in response, it came out as a wheeze.
The pair collapsed on the side of the path that led away from the village. In the distance, she could make out the alternating yellow, orange, and blue thatching of the roofs, sprawling below the hills. A few curls of gray smoke rose from one of the chimneys.
With a groan, Tuff threw himself onto the ground, and rolled over. “So much for keeping things quiet,” he said, partially muffled by the dirt. “How long do you think before everyone knows?”
“Word here travels fast.” She settled on the ground beside him, drawing her knees up to her chin. “All the Cappies will probably be talking about it by the end of the day.”
“We just need to lay low.” He turned his head, just enough to catch her eye. “Right?”
“We haven’t given people a reason to suspect us,” Tiff mused, more to herself than anything. She reached down and scooped up a handful of gravel, gradually letting it slip through her fist, and disperse into the wind. “And that’s assuming everyone thinks their disappearances are more than just disappearances.”
“If Waddle Doo keeps raising the alarm, they might,” he huffed.
She opened her mouth to assuage his concern—and it occurred to her that she didn’t know how. Instead, she wrapped her arms around her knees, letting the silence hang between them.
“Should we warn Kirby?” Tuff asked suddenly.
She glanced at him out of her periphery, surprised. “Why?”
He rolled from prone to supine, and crossed his arms over his chest. “Well, what if they do start to think that whatever happened to them wasn’t an accident. You remember how all the Cappies reacted when a few sheep vanished—but this is Dedede and Escargoon we’re talking about.”
“You think the Cappies will accuse Kirby of eating them?”
“No.” His lips twisted. “But maybe they’ll start looking for answers—”
“—and when they can’t find any, they’ll start making some up,” Tiff quietly finished. “Scared people don’t need a reason to blame something; they just need something to blame.”
“Exactly.”
“That’s all hanging on a pretty big if,” she reasoned, “and it would take a while before things escalated to that point.” She let out a long breath that did nothing to settle her unease. “I think, for now, it’s safer if we don’t tell him. The less we involve him, the less danger he’s in.”
“So, we keep our distance,” said Tuff, not bothering to hide his unhappiness.
“We keep our distance.” Reluctantly, Tiff stood, and offered him her hand. She hauled him to his feet, and he began to brush the gravel from his clothes. “Let’s head back to the castle. At least there we won’t have to worry about answering too many questions.”
If she subscribed to the idea of karma, she might have wondered if they ought to stop tempting fate.
Apart from the echo of their footsteps, the corridors were mercifully empty. Granted, it didn’t do much to settle Tiff’s nerves, but it was preferrable to upkeeping pretenses around other people.
“We still have our passports, right?” Tuff asked.
She tossed him a funny look. “I think so. Not that we’ve ever used them.”
He laced his fingers together behind his head. “Hypothetically speaking,” he began, “if we needed to leave the kingdom for an extended vacation…”
“How extended?”
He gave a nervous laugh. “Forever.”
“We’re not leaving the country.” Though Tiff wasn’t about to admit that the thought had occurred to her, too. “Where would we even go?”
“Maybe Kit Cosmos has room on his island for two more,” Tuff said, as he dropped his gaze to the floor.
“The last thing we need to do is something drastic.” For now. “We have a plan, and we’re sticking to it. Besides, what would our parents say?”
A door creaked, and he lifted his head. Immediately, he tensed.
“I guess we can ask them ourselves,” he stammered.
Ahead of them, one of the castle’s many side chambers opened, and out of it filed a rather motley procession: Ebrum, Waddle Doo, and (strangely) Chief Bookem. Ebrum’s hands were folded behind his back, his expression pinched, as he murmured something to Waddle Doo. The other shook his head as they turned in step and continued down the opposite end of the hall, deep in conversation.
Bookem, on the other hand, made to leave in their direction, and his eyes lit up when he saw them.
“Afternoon, kids.” He gave a friendly wave as he approached. “Staying out of trouble, I hope?”
Tiff straightened, trying (and failing) to steady her heartrate. “Of course.”
“Good to hear,” he said. “Your father’s got enough on his mind as it is.”
Curiosity got the better of her, and she asked before she could stop herself, “What was that about?”
At that, Bookem grimaced. “Ah. Nothing good, I’m afraid. I’m surprised you don’t know. Well, since you’re bound to hear about it sooner or later…” He sighed. “Dedede and Escargoon haven’t been seen since yesterday. Waddle Doo has asked for my assistance in coordinating search parties.”
The two of them swapped a look. “What’s that got to do with Dad?” Tuff demanded.
Both brows shot up in response to the question. “As cabinet minister, Sir Ebrum assumes responsibility of the kingdom, should either of them become missing or indisposed.”
It was easy to forget, with how often they were the ones dealing with Dedede’s antics, that their father was a politician. Frankly, Tiff could have thought of a thousand less jarring ways to be reminded of that fact.
“If he’s in charge now,” Tuff asked, “then does that make us royalty or something?”
That elicited a small chuckle from Bookem. “It’s temporary,” he reminded them, “so don’t get used to the idea. He’s just keeping things in running order until they return.”
In spite of herself, Tiff saw an opportunity to investigate, and she took it. “So, you think they will come back?”
“Oh, sure. Don’t let the captain’s paranoia get to you; they’re probably fine. Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve gone off and caused trouble, now would it?”
“What do you think happened to them?” Tuff asked, with a look that spoke volumes of his regret asking in the first place. Thankfully, Bookem seemed to misread it as concern.
He stroked his beard. “We haven’t ruled out the likelihood they got lost. Now, if you ask me, they’re just trying to stir up a commotion because they’re bored. Wouldn’t put it past them. Although…” He frowned. “It’s a possibility, albeit an unlikely one, that we're dealing with foul play.”
With an extreme amount of effort, Tiff swallowed down the panic in her throat. “Really?”
“Well, I did say it was unlikely,” Bookem said. “Figure if something bad happened, it’s because a monster got its hands on them.”
“Not a person?” Tuff prompted.
“There’s only a handful of people I can think of even capable of doing of something like that, let alone trying to in the first place.” He scratched at his chin, eyes narrowed in thought. “Well, I suppose Doron would have company for a change. Provided we don’t execute whoever did it, of course. But try not to lose sleep over it,” he said, when he registered the looks of identical, dumbstruck terror on their faces. “We’ll have this resolved in no time.”
He began to stride past them, but not before tussling their hair. “Leave the worrying to the grownups.”
Only after he rounded the corner, and the sound of his footsteps went with him, did Tuff finally speak.
“At least we’ll get food, and who knows? Maybe Kirby will come down to the station and visit us once in a while.”
“We’re not going to jail, Tuff,” Tiff snapped. She lifted a hand to fix the top of her braid, and only then realized it was shaking. She grabbed her wrist with the other hand, frantically willing it to stop. “We just have to wait for things to settle down.”
His voice was surprisingly small: “…They will, right?”
It was no use. Tiff let her arms drop back to her sides. “Of course they will.”
They had to.

I am thinking about waddle families
Idk If I've ever explained but in my hcs Waddle Dees and Doos don't think of family the same way as most of us do. Families usually start forged in blood, but as time passes it's mostly water(few are directly related by blood). Groups of Waddle Dees/Doos crowd together in large family groups- they're not large enough to be called clans, but some families combine into little clans. They contain both Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos, and the variants of these however, they're not exclusive to them. A lot of families take in Gordos, Bronto Burts, Noddies, etc. If they need a family and a place to stay, they'll be welcomed with open arms. Family groups usually having some kind of specialty or generally follow the same career path (Farming, Woodwork, any sort of trade, etc.)
Dees are either born into these groups or adopted in. Anyone can be adopted at any age, but typically abandoned Dees or Dees that just walk out of the woods are brought in as new members. Being born into these groups is surprisingly rare because most Dees/Doos who have kids want to move on and make their own large family group(Usually with the help of another couple). Regardless of how they joined, Waddle dees/doos are extremely loyal to their family group, with most dedicating their lives to bettering those who will come after them. Even those who leave try to send back everything they make.
There is, of course, a family structure. Typically* the elders take care of the general wealth of the family and make big decisions in group votes with those who they consider old enough to make a wise decision. (*A few groups don't involve those in any decisions if they're not in an 'inner circle'. These are more common amongst families who focus on trade.)
Some families serve someone outside of their family 'group'. When families run out of work (usually if they're all dismissed/if the person died and didn't leave their things to any of them- a surprisingly common thing) they travel until they find new work. This process can take years as finding someone who wants to hire 30+ workers all at once is hard. Families who search for a year+ typically die out, either through members leaving or they... actually die out.
Politics between Families are usually civil, but they can get rather intense, especially when jobs are scarce, if they're directly in competition, or if there's a conflict between even two members. A slight grudge between two people have can turn into generations of conflict and hatred. This is why most are rather peaceful and try to resolve things diplomatically. Stories of old families driven to ruin are baked into children's minds at a young age, making many into pacifists who are unwilling to fight.
These family groups can last hundreds of years, with many living and dying by the same traditions and ideals as those who lived a hundred years before them. However, in recent years (With all the shit that's gone down in Dreamland) families are either becoming stronger and forging themselves into clans, or breaking apart into smaller, more 'typical' family units. So Dreamland's population of Waddle Dees/Doos are kind of in a state of transition. Many of the 'youngin's' are learning to defend themselves and their families, more are traveling out in search of glory- or to serve their great King.
So yea

Follow up of Adeleines opinions on the helpers :) (stuff in parenthesis is the ability they have)
Blade Knight (Sword): 7/10 Mysterious little dude:
He’s cool! He’s kinda hard to understand at times (he’s got a thick accent, idk what kind), but he’s very nice! He’s got a lot of standards when it comes to swordsmanship and is very strong! He’s working on showing Adeleine the proper stances for sword fighting (it’s possible for her to emulate that style with her paintbrush, minus the cutting ability of a real sword).
Chilly (Ice): 9/10 Snowed Man!!
Snowed man friend!!!! He’s very serious about things but he’s a good friend! Only problem is he has to stick around Adeleines Ice Dragon drawing to prevent the poor guy from melting (they’re working on finding an eternal ice that won’t melt so he can stay cold!). He likes to make snow cones!!! (Which are hella good btw)
Bio spark (Ninja): 8/10 Speedy!!!
One of the fastest helpers around! They’re speedy, sneaky, and all around a mysterious little dude! They have a habit of showing up so quietly that nobody notices for a good couple minutes before they’re just like “I wasn’t even hiding I’ve been standing here this whole time.” Overall, odd but kind little friend!
Birdon (Wing): 7/10 Soft birdie!!!
They’re just a little birdie!!! Birdons probably the most carefree helper out of the bunch, and they like relaxing really high up (much to Adeleines dismay). They tend to make stuff out of the feathers they shed (and they shed very often), so they’re always giving friends bracelets, headgear, jewelry, and such made out of their feathers. Adeleine actually has a coat lined with their feathers and it’s SUPER warm! They’re a little strange (and Kawasaki keeps trying to cook them [see: Star Allies title screen skits]) but they’re a wonderful buddy!
Wester (Whip): 9/10 Yeehaw man!!!!
Dude is legit just a very small cowboy. He cannot help his smallness... He’s agile and absolutely has an accent when he talks. He’s a little chaotic, but has a good heart. Probably taught Adeleine how to mount and ride a grizzo just for fun. She’s got a cowboy hat he made for her!
Plugg (Plasma): 10/10 Old friend!
She’s known Plugg since Crystal Shards! The two are good friends and Plugg likes to paint with her! He’s got some... interesting ways of painting (sticking his entire face into paint and then running facedown on the canvas), but he’s a lovely friend! He likes to run around a lot tho, probably because he’s constantly generating electricity and needs to burn it off so it doesn’t overload him. Will absolutely charge electrical devices without a second thought.
Como (Spider): 6/10 Spider...
While they’re similar to Taranza, they have a lot more spider tendencies, and therefore kinda scared Adeleine. She’s tolerable of them (more so than Susie), but tries to keep her distance. They’re helpful and are very very very sweet!!! They just tend to do creepy spider things and it freaks her out...
Bugzzy (Suplex): 7/10 Massive bug dude
He’s like... huge. Closer to, if not taller, than Adeleines height. He has very sharp pincers on the front of his face, and they can be painful when used, so he either wraps them in bandaging or puts rubber caps over them! That way he can grab and hold friends without harm! He’s oddly cuddly and likes to carry people around (not neccisarily throwing them) in his pincers. Overall, big doofus bug who has lots of love.
Broom Hatter (Clean): 8/10 Clean freak
Literally cannot handle dirty shit. At all. Has the urge to clean everything. Perks are that they keep the base everyone hangs out in super duper clean! Adeleines taught them to draw and it helps them not want to compulsively clean everything. They make really pretty art!
Poppy Bros Jr. (Bomb): 9/10 Funky lad!
He’s got an older brother of the same name (Poppy Bros Sr.) and he’s a boss in training! One day he hopes to be just as good as his brother! Dude is ultra high energy (which is why he’s always hopping around) and tends to be a little obnoxious. They can’t entirely help it, they’re just energetic! They’ve taught Adeleine how to yeet explosives and she’s genuinely good at it!
Rocky (Stone): 7/10 He is literally just a rock
Sentient rock! He’s a little slow and can’t really talk, but he’s a buddy! He likes to just turn into his stone form and just sit like that. It’s comfy and feels like home to him. Will not hesitate to use himself as a step or a seat for someone if needed. He also gives everyone hes friends with a special rock! Adeleines has marbling to it and looks absolutely beautiful!
Waddle Doo (Beam): 8/10 Funky little man!
He’s got only one eye and therefore has poor eyesight. You’d think one eye would be better, but nope! He wears essentially one huge contact lens to help! They’re buddies with Parasol Dee and Bandee!!! Doo is on the calmer side of the group, and tends to not be so insanely high strung. He’s still a little anxious, but he’s better at covering it than the other. He hangs out with Wester sometimes (whip-like attack squad)
Chef Kawasaki (Cook): 2/10 Hes creepy and I don’t like him.
He has this weird... unsettling energy about him. He’s tried to cook both Coo and Birdon more than once and she genuinely doesn’t like being around him. He makes good food, which has stopped him from being a 0/10 in her book, but thats it. He’s only there because Kirby thought he’d be a nice addition and everyone knows that if Kawasaki crosses the line he will get booted on the spot. (Kirby has standards too!)
Gim (Yo-yo): 7/10 Hes just a robot huh.
He’s kinda strange, and doesn’t appear to have a lot of feeling, but Gims really nice! He likes to show people all the tricks he can do with his yo-yo (which is surprisingly a lot) and gives all his friends a yo-to so they can do the tricks along with him (Adeleines is teal with red and black stripes. It’s also got a couple paint splotches on it that we’re added on purpose).
Burning Leo (Fire): 8/10 Toasty heater child!
They’re small and warm!!! All the time!!! They like to be held and snuggle up to cold stuff because it’s the same feeling as snuggling up to warm stuff for humans. REEEEAAALLLYYY wants to hug Chilly but there is the very real possibility that Chilly will literally melt so he holds off from that. Adeleine tends to be cold and likes to hold Leo like a hot water bottle. He’s learned how to make his head fire harmless so people can hold him and not get burned!!
Driblee (Water): 9/10 Oh my god they’re adorable!
Sothisispartiallyjustmebecauseilovethewaterabilityimsorry They’re a little lizard mermaid! They adore swimming more than you’d think and hold pool parties!! They hang around Chilly because their water tends to be on the colder side and Chilly can use them to reform melted bits of Adeleine can’t get Ice Dragon to do it. They’re actually made entirely out of water! They can literally transform back into water by going into water. This also means that they can conform to spaces not meant for them like bottles and containers. They like to make drinks for people since the water they use for attacking is some of the cleanest water out there! (It also tastes super fucking good)
Bonkers (Hammer): 7/10 Kinda scary...
He’s big, taller than Adeleine (especially if he stands fully upright), and has an intimidating look, but he’s all bark and no bite! Dude is literally just a ball of sunshine! He likes to carry people around and will 100% shield someone from attacks (he’s sturdy!!!). He’s helping Adeleine with her strength because she’s fragile and a little scrawny and he’s all muscle (shes gotten a lot better!). Shes got her own lightweight hammer he lets her use so she can get a little stronger!
Sir Kibble (Cutter): 9/10 Smol knight!
He cannot help his size... but he’s tough! He also has no fucking braincells and does not think but he’s a good boy! He likes to headbutt people but his helmet poses a problem (it literally has a blade attached to it) so he puts a padded pool noodle over it to protect others (the padding is so the noodle doesn’t get chopped from the blade itself when force is applied). He’s just a little dude with no thoughts... head empy...
NESP (ESP): 4/10 They talk too much and know stuff about me that I never told them.
Strange and not very cool :( They have a tendency to read other people’s minds because they purposefully don’t tune their thoughts out and therefore know a lot of stuff they really shouldn’t. They also don’t know how to keep their mouth shut. Thankfully they’re just funky from psychic power and on a good day they’re kinda nice to be around!
Vividria (Artist): 10/10 THATS MY ADOPTED SISTER!!
They’re siblings. Drawcia adopted Adeleine as one of her own and that makes Vividria her sis! They paint together and Vividria kinda sticks up for Adeleine in more dicey fights because of Adeleines low HP. They’re the bestest of friends and are super cool with one another! She’s still growing and is one day gonna reach Drawcias size!! (If we put it into normal heights [Adeleine being 5’3” and Kirby being 1’8”] Drawcia is over double Kirby’s height. Probably closer to 3-4 feet)
Parasol Waddle Dee (Parasol): 9/10 Oh my god they’re just a smol friend...
Dee is literally almost as high strung and anxious as Bandee but they’re so sweet!! They like rain!! They also give parasols to all their friends! (Adeleines is teal with paint splotches!) They tend to nap a lot and will totally join cuddle piles. On hot days they’ll utilize the chumbrella as a big shade for everyone in the nap pile. Just a squishy little dee!!!!!
Knuckle Joe (Fighter): 10/10 Hes super supportive and nice!
He saw how fragile Adeleine was and said “aight so I may not be a master but I’m gonna teach this kid how to fight” and didn’t wait for any objections. Once a week he goes out into the forest with Adeleine and shows her how to fight like him! Physical combat is important!!! She can’t fire off energy blasts or deal lightning speed punches, but she’s getting there! He’s ultra supportive of everyone and loved to teach people stuff!!! He care about everyone!!!!
Beetley (Beetle): 8/10 Why is he so angy!!
Always grumpy. He says it’s because he keeps losing to Bugzzy but it’s just because he’s super small and gets picked up like a burger all the time (if you didn’t wanna be held like a burger don’t be burger shaped idiot). Isn’t aggressive but will headbutt people with the blunt end of his horn when he’s being extra grouchy. Adeleine likes picking him up because he gets all stiff like a ferret (when you pick them up and they stick their feet’s up all stiff).
Jammerjab (Staff): 9/10 Funky but fun!
Was originally really wary of them because of the whole Void Termina thing and their assosciation with the bad guys wasn’t a good thing but they’re super cool! They’re graceful and like to stand on their staff a lot. They also help the smaller helpers get stuff up high (they themselves are small but their staff can extend a lot so they can use that for extra height). They let Adeleine use their staff and she’s not that good at it (she always whacks herself in the face while trying to use it) but it’s a nice gesture! They know a lot about the Jambastion and like to tell people all the wacky secrets it holds (like how Hyness has an entire room full of just robes that all look the exact fucking same or how theres a specific set of hallways that move and change to get trespassers lost in them). Honestly a fun little guy to be around
#fira makes braincells#fira knight screeches#can you tell I really fucking hate Kawasaki because I do#bitch has 3 moves and only 1 of them is good he sucks ass#aside from that Adeleine likes almost everyone!#the Dees are all just like Tuter (with Bandee being the most like him)#The helpers also like giving people stuff!!! Adeleine has an entire cabinet full of gifts from them!!!!!!#They’re just baby and small (with the obvious exceptions)#anyways HERE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!#OH and these are just the ones from Star Allies because she probably only meets those helpers#maybe others??? I’m not sure yet#but she def meets all the Star Allies helpers

Fashion - DeDeDesigner!
Deep within the imperial halls of Castle Dedede were several miniature Waddle Dees, carrying several spools of fabric to and from the throne room. They moved in an orderly fashion, as if they were a conveyor belt of polymer and denim. No one was quite sure as to why the King needed so much fabric- he only wears one thing, after all. But the King's orders were final: disobeying them could very well lead to a dire punishment. And so the Waddle Dees continued their fabric conveyance into the heart of King Dedede's latest operation.
"With all this fabric, I can finally weave my master plan to clobber Kirby forever!" The booming voice of Dream Land's favorite king echoed across the entire throne room, scaring a few of the Waddle Dees inside. One of them asked a crucial question: "How are clothes supposed to stop Kirby? I don't get it.." The king did not like being questioned like this. "Silence! It will all make sense soon enough. See, Kirby always walks around stark naked, except for those shoes of his. If we can make the most inconvienient clothes to wear ever, we can clobbah that Kirby real good!" The King smiled smugly with this plan, knowing that this plan absolutely COULD NOT fail.
The Waddle Dees finally all exited the throne room, leaving the royal ruler with way more fabric than he could ever need. But he still needed all of it. With his needle and thread, of which he totally knew how to use, he began to create his newest and first brand of clothing: Fasion Là Dedede! Countless minutes of hard work, fruitful labor happening before his very eyes... he couldn't believe it.
"This is way too stinking hard! How do people make this stuff? I'm not gonna clobbah Kirby at all at this rate!" Frustrated, the King kicked one of the unused fabric spools at full force! The magenta yarn went flying and flying… right into a Waddle Doo. The King panicked, "ACK! I AM SO SORRY," he yelled as he ran over to assist the cyclops in getting back on his feet. "…say, you wouldn't happen to know how to make clothes, would you?"
After several hours of his Waddle Doos sewing and creating, knitting and weaving, it was done. The perfect line of clothes for a puffball Kirby's size! …but the King couldn't stop staring at them. Somehow, these clothes looked leagues better than anything in his own closet! This was an absolute shock to Dedede, but he had an idea. "Excellent job, guys! But now I'm gonna ask you lot one more favor. Make one of these my size, pronto! We can't let that Kirby upstage us in fashion, too!"
This definitely confused the tiny cyclops workers, but they feared what would happen if they questioned this decision. And so, they started to work on yet another fashion line. But this time, it was King Size! And, soon enough, it was complete. Dedede absolutely adored the new clothes, and put them all on!
At the same time.
These clothes were designed to trap Kirby.
Soon enough, the King found himself trapped within his own web of lies... and polyester. He couldn't escape the tight chamber of fabric, and he was distressed! "Someone get me outta these things! Help! Help!!" With the King powerless, the Waddle Doos laughed as they left for home. Sure enough, the tyrant was on his own, with no one to help him. And that's where he stayed..
At least he looked trendy.

Rewrite The Anime Challenge
so i’ve seen a lot of people in the kirby tag talk about a remade anime, or a rewritten anime, or a whatever sort of anime. one in where all their desires are fulfilled and what not. which is moreso a reimagining, though it wasn’t stated to be. but coolieos, great, radical.
but i was in the shower just now and i was thinking ‘those same people were also saying the anime was bad and they could write it better alongside the things they said they wanted.. yet they haven’t done any writing or put much thought into their concept outside of stating what they wanted.’. so, i got out of the shower and i’m writing this post.
here is my challenge to you: for those who want a new anime, one in which you designed, lets do it with a critical eye. because saying you could ‘rewrite it’ or ‘reboot it’ is interesting to me. a rewrite or a reboot of merit requires a writer to take the original concept, look at it critically to analyze its specific failings, then to make the concept better than it previous was whilst keeping the most important parts of it intact. so, allow me to issue you a challenge of various difficulties which would allow you to use your critical thought.
general rules
@ me if you do this challenge.
recognize there is no prize from this other than the fruit of your own creative design.
a ‘game character’ is something that comes from the games, and nowhere else from the games, recognize i’ll be using that terminology. kirby may be a game character but he’s also an anime character, and for the sake of this he wont be called a ‘game character’
general layout
your response, should you make it, is recommended to look like so
Kirby Right Back At Ya synopsis
date of airing: 2001
The anime follows Kirby, a pink, spherical, childlike creature who does not speak in coherent words but possesses the ability to take on new magical powers temporarily by sucking up their owners. Kirby arrives on a planet called Popstar, near the village of Cappy Town, when his spaceship crashes there. He quickly befriends two yellow-skinned siblings named Tiff and Tuff and their friends Fololo and Falala. Over the course of the series, Kirby and his friends evade King Dedede and his assistant Escargoon, who try to get rid of Kirby using numerous monsters provided by NME.
Plot
Thousands of years ago, a being known as Nightmare appeared and created a company called Night Mare Enterprises, often abbreviated as N.M.E. (Holy Nightmare in the Japanese version). It was in truth a front for his great armies of monsters, which he used to take over much of the universe. They devastated countless planets using this massive army of creatures of all origins. But there were those who stood to combat his evil, in the form of the Star Warriors and the Galaxy Soldier Army. They fought for many thousands of years, but Nightmare's monsters outnumbered them, and killed most, forcing the survivors to retreat to parts unknown. However, everyone is quite surprised when Kirby's ship crashes close to Cappy Town (Pupupu Village in the Japanese sub) on the planet Popstar. They find he is tiny, round, and pink, unlike Tiff's now rejected desire of a strong knight she perceived to be the "Star Warrior". Despite his hardly warrior-like characteristics, he is quick to save anyone who is in danger, almost if by instinct. He is soon befriended by the siblings Tiff and Tuff, along with their servants Fololo and Falala. Together, the kids face off against Dream Land's tyrannical ruler and his brigade of brutes.
The ruler of Dream Land, King Dedede, is jealous and suspicious of Kirby from the start. He and his right-hand man Escargoon constantly try to get rid of Kirby with monsters provided by the company for a high fee, and ultimately, their plans always backfire when Kirby interferes. Just as in the games, Kirby can inhale enemies and temporarily gain their powers, transforming into forms such as Fire Kirby with the ability to spit flames, or Sword Kirby to literally slice foes into pieces.
Kirby grows and becomes stronger before his final battle with Nightmare. In the end when Kirby and Tiff face Nightmare, which is in a dream, Tiff throws the Warp Star at Kirby, who swallows it and becomes Star Rod Kirby. Star Rod Kirby has the Star Rod which is Nightmare's sole weakness, allowing Kirby to defeat him.
Episode 1
The episode starts out as a night on Planet Popstar and all of the sheep are sleeping peacefully. However, a giant octopus named Octacon appears and eats them all in just a matter of seconds. The sheep farmer hears the ruckus and runs outside, shocked at the sight of the herd's bones being flung at him. The massive octopus then flies away and into King Dedede's castle.
After the introduction, the scene switches to space, where a Warp Star starship is flying by. Inside of it is the young Kirby, sleeping soundly. However, the Warp Star detects the presence of a monster on Planet Popstar and goes to "Warp" mode, alarming our pink hero. Kirby awakens and wonders what is going on, just as the starship automatically encloses him within the cockpit, preparing to jump into hyperspace. The star then warps into the abyss of space at light speed towards the Popstar star system. When it comes to a stop Kirby sees a strange light; the glow of the fabled planet, much to Kirby's amazement.
Etc
now, of the things i’ve listed there the ‘date of airing’ probably seems rather strange, right. well, here’s the thing; you can have the theoretical date of airing of your anime be.. any realistic year. since we’re just saying “what if it just suddenly existed”.
The True Challenge Ranks
think of these as levels of difficulty in terms of rewriting something. we’re going from easiest to hardest.
Meta Knight Level
Do a synopsis, plot and nothing else, also have none of the other anime characters (i.e tiff, tuff, silica), only game characters, do not have dedede be the antagonist, do not have meta knight be the antagonist. essentially just trash the entire anime and start new.
Sheep Level
Do a synopsis, plot, a first episode, and have none of the other anime characters (i.e tiff, tuff, silica), only game characters, do not have dedede be the antagonist, do not have meta knight be the antagonist. essentially just trash the entire anime and start new.
Cappy Level
Do a synopsis, plot, a first episode, a finale episode, and have some other anime characters as well as game characters, maybe have dedede be the antagonist, maybe have meta knight be irresponsible.
Waddle Dee Level
Do a synopsis, plot, a first episode, a normal (think midseason) episode, a finale episode, and have some other anime characters as well as game characters, have dedede be the antagonist, have meta knight be irresponsible
Waddle Doo Level
Do a synopsis, plot, a first episode, two normal (think midseason) episodes, a finale episode, and have some more anime characters / original creations than game characters, have dedede be the antagonist, have meta knight be irresponsible
Tuff Level
Do a synopsis, plot, a first episode, three normal (think midseason) episodes, a finale episode, and have some more anime characters / original creations than game characters, have dedede be the antagonist, have meta knight be irresponsible as generally have the original plot with tweaks
Tiff Level
Do a synopsis, plot, a first episode, four normal (think midseason) episodes, a finale episode, and have more anime characters / original creations than game characters, have dedede be the antagonist, have meta knight be irresponsible, generally have the original plot with tweaks
Kirby Level
Do a synopsis, plot, a first episode, five normal (think midseason) episodes, a finale episode, and have no game characters. Keep the set roles Tweak the plot and personalities where seen fit in characters, but only so that way they can work as a better version of themselves, critically.
Conclusion
the chance of anyone taking me up on this challenge? 0, lol, but i thought i might as well put it out there anyways. if you say you want to make an anime that you could make better than the original, then do so and @ me about it

KIRBY’S SUGAR RUSH
Something short and sweet to tide you over while i get my next big game idea out of the way. Being that this one is a puzzle spin-off, there’s not going to be much here, but I hope you enjoy it anyways! Like always, this is not meant to be speculation on any future Kirby game, so if any game in the future is announced and bears resemblance to this, you didn’t hear it from me.
GAMEPLAY
If Kirby’s Star Stacker is reskinned Tetris, then Sugar Rush is reskinned Zuma. There are multiple power-ups that can freeze your own train of colorful stars, shuffle their positions around, and distract your opponents! There’s also Saccharine Mode, which enables Amairani’s ability and gives not only a point boost but speeds up your opponent’s train and gives you one of their power-ups! There are five rankings, all given at the end of the match depending on how well you did.

STORY
One fine day in Dreamland, Kirby was taking a nap beneath a tree. Suddenly, he’s awoken by the sound of a struggle, and finds an amphibious stranger being attacked by Scarfys. He rescues her, and she tells him that she can’t thank him enough. She goes on to introduce herself as Amairani and tells him that she’s an adventurer being chased by a mysterious hunter. All she wants is to visit the fountain of Dreams, and Kirby, being the polite sort, offers to bring her there.
On the way, Bandanna Dee attempts to tell Kirby something, but he chickens out upon seeing Amairani. Amairani is extremely cruel and dismissive of the little Waddle Dee and tells Kirby that he’ll only slow them down. Cue first match, and when they win, Bandanna Dee sadly runs off, with the frog still making fun of him as he leaves. Kirby’s very comfy with this, but Amairani reassures him she’s only teasing, and that she’d never make fun of a friend like that.
When Lololo and Lalala challenge them to a match and lose, Amairani does something different. Rather than her usual snarking, she instead zaps them with the same power that she’d been giving Kirby, making them blithely unaware of anything other than just being giggly and peppy! Sure, it might be mind control, but hey, they’re not sad, right? That means it’s okay!
This spree of winning and sugaring everyone up continues all the way to the Fountain of Dreams, with Kirby getting more and more uneasy about this whole thing. But, she’s so nice, and sweet, and she was only ever mean that one time, so he thinks nothing of it. Hew is, however, shocked when Amairani and him come across the Meta-Knights, and she identities them as her assailants, along with Meta Knight himself.
When the Meta-Knights are done and dusted, Dedede barges in as the self-proclaimed “last line of defenses” and challenges Kirby and Amairani to a match. Kirby initially refuses, but Amairani reminds him that Dedede’s been selfish and hurtful before, and he may be trying to trick him again, so Kirby accepts.
Meta Knight doesn’t give Kirby a breather after defeating Dedede, which only furthers Amairani’s argument that they’re bad friends if they won’t let him do what he wants. Kirby’s hopes are dashed upon the rocks when Amairani reveals that her plan all along was to steal the star rod and turn all of Pop Star into her brainwashed servants. She flies offon the Warp Star, leaving Kirby alone with two candy-coated ex-friends where he now stands.
But there’s still a chance: Bandanna Dee returns, being the only one not brainwashed and loyal as ever. The two rush to find her already at Castle Dedede, where she attempts to guilt trip Kirby into letting her keep the Star Rod by calling him a terrible friend and selfish for not letting her have what she wants. Bandanna counters that she had to trick and deceive Kirby to get it, and that means they’re not really friends at all. She snaps and demands Kirby take her on by himself.
Kirby wins and she disappears in a blast of rainbows. The poor little puff is still really upset at how she used him, but he knows that his true friends will always be there to help him out. (LOOK, A MORAL.)
+ SUGAR CRASH! (postgame)
After defeating Meta Knight, Gryll appears! They say that they’ve decided to try their hand at this game as well, and challenge Kirby to a match. And after defeating them, a huge explosion rocks the arena and a deep indigo mist starts to rise up from the Fountain of Dreams. Kirby hops on his Warp Star to check it out and finds Amairani has fused herself with Nightmare! She says that Nightmare is the greatest friend she’s ever had, which angers Kirby enough to challenge her to a match. She disappears for good when Kirby beats her, but Nightmare retreats into his Power Orb form and flies off.
(If the player got a gold medal or higher on all of the levels prior, Nightmare will also be destroyed.)

Kirby: Battle Royale - Datamine Findings [Spoilers]
I’m sorry that this is coming out so late! Once I finished collecting things I really had to take a rest, I stayed up all night for this so I was fairly tired by the end of it all. Either way, due to the length of this post and it’s spoiler content, click the “Read More” to continue.
To start off, the following abilities are in the final version of the game:
Sword Cutter Beetle Bomb Spear Fighter Ninja Whip Parasol Hammer Doctor Tornado Ice
King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee are all present in the game as playable characters. It is unknown how they are unlocked normally, but it likely has to do with story mode. Their unlock messages are as follows:
"Meta Knight is now in the Collection Lists! You can use this in Battle Mode and Online Battles after it's unlocked." ��
"Waddle Dee is now in the Collection Lists! You can use this in Battle Mode and Online Battles after it's unlocked."
"King Dedede is now in the Collection Lists! You can use this in Battle Mode and Online Battles after it's unlocked."
These are all the playable character icons. As it has been pointed out, in the demo, there are 17 ability slots; the last one is the Random select, similar to Smash Bros. and other games. The poll ability isn’t present whatsoever in the retail game, so it’ll likely be added in as a free DLC update.
As previously revealed on the Kirby Twitter account, the game has alternate costumes. Aside from special circumstances, all abilities have their default gear along with three alternates. They are listed as such: Sword: Gigant Helmet Newspaper Hat Dyna Helmet Ultra Sword Hat* Cutter: Sir Kibble Helmet Mohawk Knight Helmet Beetle: Hornhead Helmet Woodpecker Helmet Hydra Helmet Bomb: Foley Cap Bomb Cap Boom Cap Qbby Cap* Spear: Javelin Knight Helm Devil Horns Sectonia Mask
Fighter: Knuckle Joe Hair Wrestling Mask Goriath Hat Ninja: Bio Spark Helmet Topknot Samurai Helmet Whip: Whippy Hat Gymnastics Leotard Daroach Hat Parasol: Bouncy Umbrella Paper Parasol Fancy Umbrella
Hammer: Dedede Hammer Toy Hammer Grand Hammer Replica
Doctor: Chemitory Hat Nurse Cap Sacred Hat
Tornado: Twister Helmet Pinwheel Kracko Hat
Ice: Mr. Frosty Freeze Hood Snow Bowl
---
Bandana Waddle Dee: Sailor Hat Straw Hat Animal Hat Café Cap*
Meta Knight: Dark Meta Knight Mask Party Mask Mecha Knight Mask Galacta Knight Mask*
King Dedede: Knit Cap Gentleman's Hat King's Crown Masked Dedede Mask*
Ultra Sword Hat, Qbby Cap, Café Cap, Galacta Knight Mask and Masked Dedede Mask are all amiibo-locked, so you’ll need the Kirby Series amiibo and the Qbby amiibo to unlock everything.
Here are all of the ability moves. If the move is listed as an aerial move, it can only be used during a jump. If it’s listed as a charged move, you need to hold a charge before it can be used.
Beetle - Horn Upper, Horn Flurry, Back Slash, Spiral Horn (aerial), Rocket Horn (charged), Dive (after Rocket Horn), Forward Lunge, Slamming Drill (after Forward Lunge)
Bomb - Bomb Throw, Big Bomb Throw (charged), Bomb Dunk
Cutter - Cutter Boomerang, Jump Cutter (aerial), Hyper Cutter (charged), Final Cutter
Dedede - Hammer, Hammer Twirl (aerial), Dedede Hammer Throw (charged), Giant Dedede Swing
Doctor - Bouncing Capsule, Flash Spark (charged lv1), Sleeping Gas (charged lv2), Remedy (charged lv3), Clipboard Bash
Fighter - Quick Jab, Vulcan Jab, Rising Break, Sky Kick (aerial), Giga Force Blast (charged), Kick, Spin Kick, Final Spin Kick
Hammer - Hammer, Hammer Twirl (aerial), Hammer Flip (charged, 2 lvl.), Big Hammer Drop (aerial, charged, 2 lvl.), Hammer Swing
Ice - Ice Breath, Ice Sprinkle (aerial), Ice Wall (charged), Ice Ball

Tornado - Tornado Attack, Hyper Tornado, Big Tornado (charged), Tornado Dash
Bandana Waddle Dee - Parasol Swing, Parasol Dive (aerial), Aqua Shot (charged), Parasol Spin
Whip - Whip Strike, 100-Whip Slap, Whip Tornado (aerial), Crash Typhoon (charged), Whip Grab
To finish the ability section, there’s an oddity. Axe Knight is a character in the game, but it’s unknown if he’s playable. His data is all labeled as a normal, functioning player character, similar to Kirby’s abilities and the other confirmed unlockables. However, he’s also missing several things. He has no player select icon, lacks some coding for certain modes and has no unlockable text. Several things point to him being a character created solely for the Story Mode (possibly Meta Knight’s partner in the tourney), but there is a chance that he’s just not totally finished. Either way, his moveset is based around Cutter Kirby.
There are ten different game modes in the game overall. To list them out...
Apple Scramble - “Attack Mini Whispy Woods when it has apples to make them fall. After you pick up apples, throw them into your collection area, which is blue. After pulling the lever, you'll score for apples that go down the chute. High score wins!” Maps - Starter Forest, Double-Cross Forest, Bramble Forest, Fenced Forest, Double-Cross Forest (again?)
Slam Hockey - “Try to hit rivals with the puck as many times as you can. High score wins! You can send the puck toward rivals in two ways: give it a smack or throw it! If a rival throws a puck at you, catch it by pressing R at just the right time.” Maps - Normal Arena, Obstacle Arena, Stretch Arena
Battle Arena - “The last one standing when all rivals are KO'd wins! To knock out rivals, attack them until their health hits zero. Press A repeatedly to wake up if KO'd. The more you faint, the longer it takes to recover.” Maps - Deluxe Coliseum, Battle Coliseum
Robo Bonkers - “Attack Robo Bonkers and do more damage than anyone else to win! Throw missiles into cannons to launch them. It's a great way to damage Robo Bonkers! When Robo Bonkers falls, go for multiple attacks. Try for greater amounts of damage per hit.” Maps - Robo Bonkers, Robo Bonkers DX, Robo Bonkers SDX
Coin Clash - “Pick up coins while attacking your rivals for theirs. The one with the most coins wins! You can take even more coins from rivals by doing greater amounts of damage to them. You'll drop coins until you get the ghost off your back. Use B to dash and Y to jump.” Maps - Central Room, Dual Room, Trap Room, Party Room
Flagball - “You'll score when the ball connects with your blue flag. First team to seven points wins! If a flag falls to a lower level, you can grab it and run it around the field! A double flag will appear later in the game. It's worth double points. Great for a comeback!” Maps - Beginner's Beach, Flagger Beach, Footfall Beach, Lopsided Beach
Ore Express - “Toss as much ore as you can into train cars. Get more points than your rivals to win! Throw ore into a gold train car if you see one. You'll get double points for that ore!” Maps - Wayward Plains, Twisty Tunnels, Logjam Pass
Crazy Theater - “You'll enter a series of quick challenges. Hit the max number of wins before your rivals! In a question challenge, knock rivals off the correct answer!” Maps - Dream Theater
Attack Riders - “Attack your rivals to take away their chips. Whoever holds the most chips at the end wins! The more chips a competitor has, the easier they are to take. Greater damage gets more too. When the vehicle's gauge is full, press Y to attack. Avoid taking damage or you'll fall out!“ Maps - Attack Biker, Attack Tanker Rocket Rumble - “Grab as much fuel as you can and throw it into your rocket. The one with the most fuel wins! Attack your rivals' rockets to knock loose blocks of their fuel. Then steal it for your own! Get into your rocket before the 10-second countdown is over. Just jump in, or you won't score!” Maps - Space Center
The final boss in the game is named Dededestroyer Z. He shares some code with the Robo Bonkers battles, so it likely takes place in a similar scenario (circle arena, robot fight, etc.). In this fight, Dededestroyer Z seems to take control of the Kirby Printer and creates mass hordes of enemies for you to fight. The objective of this final fight is "Defeat all rivals before they beat you!". While this all goes on, Dededestroyer Z will also attack you using lasers, fist slamming attacks and more. Bandana Waddle Dee joins in this fight to help you, too; he seems to give you something called the Golden Missile, likely to deal the final blow.
The following NPCs are present in the game:
Groggy Waddle Dee Buddy Waddle Dee Dedede Meta Knight Axe Knight Bat Meta Knight Kirby Printer Waddle Dee A/B/C/D/E/F/P Soldier Waddle Dee L/R/A/B/C/D Spear Waddle Dee A/B Reporter Waddle Dee Camera Waddle Dee AD Waddle Dee TV Waddle Dee Mic Waddle Dee Fake Kirby A/B/C/D/E Waddle Doo A/B/C Guide Board A/B/C Knuckle Joe Elevator Crank Handle
The entirety of the Kirby Twitter news cast is here! Aside from the NPCs, there are characters called Waddle Dee Buddy, Waddle Dee Spear and Sandbag in the game. Compared to Axe Knight, it’s highly unlikely that these characters are anything more than story mode and/or tutorial characters. Sandbag is used in the online waiting room, too.
While we already have a fair bit of the OST in the game’s demo, there’s a lot of files that still aren’t present. This includes two Staff Credits themes, two Meta Knight themes, two Dedede themes, various boss themes, some more minigame themes and a couple things relating to the end of the game. I’ll be uploading the demo’s OST after this post goes live, too, so stay tuned for that!
To finish this off, I’d like to thank the elusive Popcorn for helping me, once again. He managed to snag the demo and send it over, so none of this would be possible without him!

A Brand-new Toy for Novamas Day
@oh-nxts-and-bxlts
It was approaching the hours of Novamas which was a holiday that the denizens of Dream Land celebrated every December the 25th; when they make their own personal wish, they are granted by the powers of their deity and are rewarded for their generosity. However, they could purchase gifts for each-other to not leave the others out during the holidays and that’s exactly what the soldiers happened to be doing. At this current moment, the soldiers were scuttling everywhere in the throne room and had bits and pieces of wrapping paper and objects belonging to arts and crafts laying everywhere. They were behind with the time and were going as fast as they could by constructing Dedede’s present.
Red wrapping paper, safety tools, dozens of sellotape rolls, tags with loose strings and other objects were laying haphazardly across the floor. The Waddle Dee’s themselves were dashing to and fro with the decorations as they wanted the timing and display of Dedede’s new present to perfected all the way through.
However, a flash and a bang of orange metal where it was enough to send the soldiers fleeing. Immediately, the paper and bows that they were about to trounce the intended present with were instead wrapped around the stranger that suddenly warped into the castle out of plain coincidence.
Meanwhile, a certain King happened to be stroking along the corridors, looking at his Nova-shaped watch; it was approaching the intended time that Waddle Doo told him about and he was already on his way. However, another story to be unfolded was just right out of the castle where a certain Waddle Doo and a few Dee’s were trying to lift a giant mechanical hammer right up the gargantuan hill before them. Judging by the weight of the hammer and the size of the hill, they had a WAY to go!
Well, the King couldn’t wait any longer and he burst through the doors to his throne room. From there, he expected a great present to be there waiting for him and his face to express such joy and entertainment from the sight of it.
“Huuuuhhh… oh WOW!! A toy robot!! The Dee’s snuck int’ m’lab to patch up an’ gear a man-sized machine JUS’ for me?! They’re gettin’ a raise as big as m’ belly for makin’ that there plated plaything!! I wonder how it works… ain’t there a manual someplace…?”
The possibilities for foul incidents to be paired with Diggy poking her head into other universes, had, unfortunately, revealed themselves to be many in the past. The more they occured, the more she realized she was only barely scratching the surface of the metaphorical frozen ocean of mishaps the universe seemed keen on throwing at her. For all of her rather pronounced annoyance at her constant misfortune, she never did seem to learn her lesson.
She had been dropped on top of a junkyard from several meters in the air, had somehow gotten herself flung forward in time, and had even gotten lost in an other city entirely without realizing it. All incredibly unpleasant and embarrassing occurences in their own right. However... somehow, being dropped in the middle of a rapidly shuffling mass of small, round creatures busy packing items, and thus dragged into their frantic work like she’d been thrown on the conveyor belt of a hellish machine?
That managed to make the top of the list. Or, very near the top of the list. Diggy still would readily admit there were worse things to be flung into before you could even scream in protest, and at the end of the day, she was “only” wrapped into a lot of silly junk. Not actually physically harmed, missing a limb, or some such unpleasant occurence. She would have called the small things that had the GALL to turn her into a brightly colored paper mummy many very unpleasant terms, all of course bleeped out by her voice box’s censors, but she wasn’t given the time to do so. Or to move very much.
From her prison of wrapping paper, she very clearly heard something, or someone, kick open a probably big set of doors and wander into the room she’d been so unceremoniously dropped into. And harp on about the present he’d just recieved being a-
Oh, god dammit. Diggy, for a moment, considered the option to play dead and avoid the embarrassment that would be breaking it to the person in front of her that she was, in fact, NOT a toy. She also spared a bit of a whispered curse directed at her sibling, whom appeared to have been nowhere in sight. Although, knowing the airheaded speedbot, she likely wouldn’t have put finding her again that high on her priority list. Probably wasn’t being put in an extremely awkward situation either - lucky pile of scrap.
__________
“Oh, hello there! Sorry to butt in, but that contraption there looks heavy! You seem like you could use an extra pair of hands - if you don’t mind!”
Meanwhile, Celerity, entirely unbothered by having been spat out by the anomaly a small ways away from her sister, and unknowing of the ensuing uncomfortable situation, had taken to approaching a small group of locals. The lanky ‘bot wasn’t usually one to ignore the light twinge in her programming that pushed her to help people that seemed like they were struggling, no matter the task. Even if it involved a group of small dumpling-shaped beings, and a gigantic mechanical hammer.
“I promise, I’m stronger than I look! It’d be no bother at all!”
___________
“A’ight, no. Not pretendin’ this situation don’t apply to me anymore.” Diggy, having decided to adress the situation after some consideration, proceeded to reach to her face... And tear to shreds the paper covering her, flailing agressively about until the wrappings ceased to cling to her with many a grumble and mutter. Freed from her prison, she kicked away the last shreds still stuck to her legs, before staring down the... beer-bellied human in winter gear looking right back at her with a flat, unamused glare.
“Sorry, but ah’ don’t come with no manual. Ah’m not a toy either, ya’ just got employees with packing frenzy.”
