Kirby: Star Allies - Datamine Findings v2 [SPOILERS]
This information is coming from the recently released Star Allies demo’ filesystem. The demo included all the code files, text files and some other things, which pretty much ends up revealing everything that there is to know. DO NOT CLICK “READ MORE” UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET EVERYTHING SPOILED.
Copy Abilities and Helpers
Just like Battle Royale, we’re going to kick things off right away with all of the abilities in the final version of the game. Helper information is grouped with the respective abilities.
Artist
Set out on a voyage of training with a colorful
paintbrush on your side! Materialize yummies
to share with your friends. It's like magic!
Art has the power to save the world!
A Colorful ㊤ (???), Vividria
"Watch me, sisters! I'll do my best!"
She swears on her ㊤ to do her best, so she
doesn't lose to her sisters, not in battle and
not in artistry! She sets off to prove herself...
and hopefully get into a good art school!

Beam
This crackling attack releases a ton of
energy. Shoot a Cycle Beam or fire a
Beam Blast from midair! And if you
need to electrify your friends'
weapons in a flash, use the rapid-fire Wave Beam!
Beam Land, Waddle Doo
"I'll bet it all on this beam!"

The “Moon” levels aren’t full levels, they’re all around 3 rooms. Extra Planet δ and the Ability Room can only be accessed after beating the story. You can move the camera on this world map to see more of the galaxies.]
Kirby Star Allies
This "Dark Lord" that Hyness likes to talk about is a
being with no sense of right or wrong. He was born
only to destroy...and is known as Void Termina,
Destroyer of Worlds. Hmm...that sounds
pretty hardcore, so no pulling your punches!
Kirby's biggest battle begins NOW!!
[Note: This world is the same as Another Dimension, Eternal Dreamland and Mind in the Program. It has four rooms, one for each of the final boss phases.]
Dream Palace
The Dream Palace is essentially a special helper roulette. You grab the Dream Rod, a roulette starts, get a Dream Friend. The Dream Palace is where King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee are obtained in story mode. Bandana Waddle Dee is unlocked from the get-go while King Dedede and Meta Knight are unlocked after their respective boss battles. The Dream Palace can be used once, afterwards being refreshed by completing a level.

[Note: These are the level themes for the areas featured in the story mode. The level themes in Starlight Heroes are remixed versions of Planet Popstar’s environments.]
For those who are interested in a total count...
Kirby: Triple Deluxe has 42 levels and 302 rooms.
Kirby: Planet Robobot has 42 levels and 276 rooms.
Kirby: Star Allies has 40 levels and 253 rooms.
[Note: This is including regular, extra and boss stages for all three games. Even when going through all disengaging factors (boss level differences, minor moons, etc.), the total amount of story content in Star Allies is less than the other two.]
The Arena
The Arena returns, as expected, but it has been altered heavily compared to the other games. The biggest change is that it’s no longer actually called The Arena, the mode name is now The Ultimate Choice. The True Arena is no longer a thing; The Ultimate Choice has difficulty modes.
The mode is now score-based rather than time-based. Points can be obtained by defeating bosses with higher difficulty levels scoring more points. Time is still a factor, being used as a bonus for extra points upon completion. The player can now choose to continue fighting after dying, the game has code that lowers the point total upon defeat.
Fiery Showdown, Infernal Crisis and Soul Melter are unlockable difficulties, likely obtained after beating one of the earlier difficulties. It can be assumed that this is where the EX bosses now. Soul Melter will likely be harder than the traditional True Arena, given that there’s three difficulties that use EX bosses.
It’s unknown what exactly the difficulty levels will change. From examining the code, it seems that health items will become more limited. Bosses also seem to have strength parameters (ie: attack multipliers) similar to Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, so the punishment for taking damage may be higher. This may also adjust various things like the wait frames in-between attacks, guard damage, HP and more.
There is a message for completing The Ultimate Choice with all characters. This could possibly be used for 100%, meaning you’d need to win with every character to finish. It may simply be like Helper to Hero, however.
Extra Mode and Subgames
The extra mode is called Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!, and yes, that’s the actual name. It’s a time attack mode similar to Dededetour and Meta Knightmare involving the Helpers. The helper that you choose to play as at the start is used throughout the game. After it’s been completed Dream Friends like Meta Knight and Dedede can be used.
Aside from following the standard format of the other time attack modes, Star Allies Go! also includes a new mechanic called Power-Up Hearts. Scattered throughout the lands are Power-Up Hearts, which are items you can collect to raise your attack, health and speed. The mode seems to include a secret boss...but we’ll cover that later.
Similar to The Ultimate Choice, messages exist in regards to a reward for beating the game with all characters. This may be used for 100% completion, too.
The only new information on the subgames is that the UFO enemy appears in the baseball one. They’re quite shallow compared to the 3DS titles...so don’t expect much here. If you haven’t seen them yet, they can be viewed here.
Collectibles
Puzzle Pieces are found throughout the game. They function similar to Streetpass, being used to build a larger picture. When an illustration is completed, music based on it’s title is unlocked and will play. You can find the illustrations, their title and the artist below.

Now, for what I’m sure many are excited for...the bosses! Below you will find the pause descriptions, VS. titles, names and moveset analysis for all the bosses.
Guardian of the Forest: Whispy Woods
Kirby's familiar foe Whispy Woods is back—
bright eyed, bushy headed, and dropping
more apples than should even be possible!
Use your Friend Abilities with Fire,
and cut him down to size!
-----
Air Bullet
Apple
Big Air Bullet
Burst Fruit
Dark Air Bullet
Enemy Summon
Apple Festival
Inhale
[Note: Whispy has an elemental weakness to fire. He has a special death animation and can burn when lit. Whispy can call Burning Leo, Blade Knight, Chilly, Como and Waddle Dee. The Burst Fruit that Whispy calls down can be cooled with Water to gain healing items.]
His Royal Nemesis: King Dedede
Surely King Dedede would never steal
all the food in the kingdom and hoard
it for himself... Why would he do such
a vile deed?! Such questions will have to
wait, as the king is coming for his eternal
rival with all the fury of a wild beast!

[Note: The food that King Dedede throws can be cleaned and turned into healing items with Water. Dedede’s muscles can infatuate anyone. Don’t stare at them too long or you risk your free will.]
Cycloptic Stormcloud: Kracko
Even in the far-flung reaches of space,
as long as there's a sky, Kirby's long-time
nemesis Kracko can show up and cast a
shadow across it. But out here, something
about his energy feels...different.
Stay on your guard, Star Allies!
-----

[Note: Kracko can be frozen by using Ice attacks while it’s raining.]
The Lone Swordsman: Meta Knight
Corrupted by the power of a dark heart,
Meta Knight's dedication to the purity
of combat has been eclipsed by a secret
wild streak that always lurked within him.
This once-hidden fury is now unleashed with
every stab and thrust of his sword!
[Note: The Japanese version explains that the heart amplifies a "small, dormant ambition of his." The official site implies that it has something to do with Revenge of Meta Knight.]

[Note: Meta Knight’s introduction brings back the “Sword Get!” from Kirby’s Adventure. Meta Knight’s death animation brings back the mask break where he proceeds to teleport away using his cloak to hide his face. He separates players using durable stacked rocks. If you break the rocks before Meta Knight, his sword will get stuck in the dirt, making him vulnerable. Meta Knight can use the force in second phase, hence the attack names. If you try to use Inhale on Meta Knight before the fight has started, he will react and resist it before engaging. All the Meta Knight clones can act independently and are not based on another’s actions.]
Dual Defenders: Pon & Con
Pon & Con block the way!
Kitted out in sinister black armor, these
combat-ready critters have got a gate to
guard, and they aren't about to let the
Star Allies through without a fight!
-----
Walk
Dash
Super Dash
Ice Bomb
Fire Bomb
[Note: Pon & Con’s Fire and Ice bombs can be destroyed by using the opposite element. Pon & Con seem to become friendly when defeated, they open the gate and wave goodbye to Kirby. This may just be for the Shutter Gate on EX, though. They dance, too.]
Frozen General: Francisca
Calm, cool, and collected, Frozen General
Francisca is one of three mages at the
head of Jambastion's forces. The freezing
attacks she unleashes are enough to chill
the very hearts of those who oppose her.
Undeterred from her quest to find the
dark hearts that have rained down across
the galaxy, the Frozen General is back
and tougher than ever before! Her duties
have kept her away from Flamberge
lately... She kind of misses her.
Song of Supplication-
In spite of all, cold as ice! In spite of all, hard as stone!
In spite of all, hear our plea! In spite of all, all alone!
In spite of all, we reconcile! In spite of all, we pass the trial!
In spite of all, hear us three! We beg of thee! We beg of thee!
[Note: Is called "ー Prayer song to God ー" in Japanese.]
-----
Frozen Gelato
Ice Sherbert
Soda Beam
Axe Throw
Upwards Swing
Downwards Swing
Axe Thrust
Axe Uppercut
[Note: Francisca’s voice can be heard here. Francisca is weak to Fire and Electric attacks. Electric attacks can paralyze her, giving the player time to attack. The three Jambastion mages are clones of each other, similar to Susie and Haltmann, sharing many assets among themselves.]
Blazing General: Flamberge
One of the three Jambastion mages,
the Blazing General Flamberge rains
fiery vengeance upon any who stand in
her way. She gets pretty mad if anyone
does anything to upset Francisca. In fact,
she's kind of riled up right now...
She's supposed to be looking for dark
hearts, but Flamberge has found her way
to a nice, toasty spot and is taking a
bit of a break. She'd like to invite
Francisca to join her but worries she
might melt in the heat...
In spite of all, we sing to you!
Please hear our pleas and help us too!
In spite of all, sadness rose!
In spite of all, yearning grows!
We call to you! We dream of you!
In spite of all, this all is true!

[Note: Flamberge’s voice can be heard here. Flamberge is weak to Ice attacks. Her animation for getting angry is called “God Damn It”.]
Lightning General: Zan Partizanne
The dutiful leader of the three Jambastion
mages, Lightning General Zan Partizanne
seems to energize the fortress itself
and uses high-speed attacks to render her
prey helpless. At the bidding of some
unknown power, she hunts for dark hearts...
Zan Partizanne swore an oath of loyalty to
Hyness—even though he has yet to remember
her overly long name! Her respect for Hyness
never falters, thanks to his intoxicating
charisma and her deep sense of duty
(and despite his poor treatment of her).
In spite of all, cold as ice! In spite of all, hard as stone!
In spite of it all, it would seem...
in spite of all, we're but a dream.
Hear our plea, you must! (You must!)
Please return our hearts to us!
-----
Lemonade Thunder
Drum Thunderball
Electro Strike
Drum Attack
Big Drum Attack
Electro Spear Throw
Electro Spear Thrust
Lemonade Spear Attack
[Note: Zan Partizanne’s voice can be heard here. Zan Partizanne is weak to Water attacks. She has the hots for Hyness. She calls for Hyness during her EX death animation, too. The thunder core in her battle arena is utilized in the fight. ]
Big Bad Mama: Grand Mam
Grand Mam prides herself on her
impenetrable steel armor! Even the
bullets of the Friend Star bounce off
her harmlessly. Team up and experiment
with abilities to find her weak points,
and bring that clanking calamity down!
-----
Dash
Punch 1
Punch 2
Enemy Call
Armor Install
[Note: To fight Grand Mam, you need to...cut off her arms. Afterwards, you light her bombs on fire to break her armor so she can be damaged. She is fought using the Friend Star. Armor Install is used to generate new armor.]
Officiant of Doom: Hyness
Hyness worships a deity of destruction whom he
plans to bring back to life. However, a rite gone
wrong has led to the dark power he needs being
scattered across the galaxy. Now he seeks to
gather this power at an altar. Stop him, Star Allies!
Hyness did not fully grasp how to completely
break the seal. All that was written about
Void Termina in the ancient scrolls was that
the progenitor of darkness was vanquished by
four heroes of yore, using four spears of the
heart. After that, they were never seen again.
[Note: The Japanese pause screen says Void Termina was "sealed" by the spears of the heart.]
His once carefully concealed face now
exposed, Hyness is on the rampage! Tossing
the three unconscious sisters around like rag
dolls, it's clear he's lost his grip on reality.
It's up to the Star Allies to bring an end to
this nightmare, and save...everything!
[Note: First line says he's self-concious about his face. The word used for the mages in Japanese is 「シスターズ」 which usually refer to nuns, though it's possible that it's used here as a double meaning.]
Bonjam = Greeting Jambuhbye = Goodbye
Jamblasted = Anger Juh? = Huh? Vun = Very
Jamanke = Thank you Japologa = I'm sorry
Jonto = Soon Jaway = I forgot Majaja = Again
Example: "Zan Par...? Jaway majaja! Japologa vun."
Translation: "Zan Par...? I forgot again! I'm very sorry."
-----
Cage
Jama Ball
Jama Rain
Freeze Mine
Eruption
Thunder Wave
Jambastion Mage Throw
Jambastion Mage Swing
Jambastion Mage Roll
[Note: Click at your own risk. Hyness possesses the three Jambastion mages to fight, adding in some of his own attacks occasionally similar to Taranza in Triple Deluxe. He has several traits that lead to support this. This includes being registered internally as a stage object instead of an enemy, animations for summoning them, alongside code to send actions to the mages. He has a complex with his true identity and goes crazy when his hood is knocked off. He uses Friend Throw with their limp bodies. Afterwards, their bodies get stuck in the ground. Rolling attack may involve the bosses using Friend Circle, as that combo is called Rolling Friends in Japanese.]
Destroyer of Worlds: Void Termina
Rise! Oh, Dark Lord of Despair!
Crush the stars! Lay waste to care!
Rise and cover the land in sorrows!
May your symphony of emptiness
bring the end of all tomorrows!
Rise! Oh, Dark Lord of Despair!
Crush the stars! Lay waste to care!
Upon your wing, dark judgment bring!
May your symphony of tragedy
cause the end of everything!
The shocking true form of Void Termina has been
revealed! Born from the total absence of care
and composed of dark energy, he has awakened
from a state of mere existence to that of true
sentience. He now desires only one thing...
to CRUSH all opposition!
As the spring breeze blows, a young traveler appears.
After greeting new friends and bidding farewell
to old ones, his path has finally led him here.
Let's beat this guy already! After that, lunch and a nap!
[Note: this is Kirby talking]
Rise! Oh, Dark Lord of Despair!
Crush the stars! Lay waste to care!
Rise and cover the land in sorrows!
May your symphony of emptiness
bring the end of all tomorrows!
Rise! Oh, Dark Lord of Despair!
Crush the stars! Lay waste to care!
Upon your wing, dark judgment bring!
May your symphony of tragedy
cause the end of everything!
Hatred, obsession, jealousy, greed... The darkness
gathered by Hyness has transformed into a corrupt
power within Void Termina that conflicts with his newly
forged soul. Chaos descends, but...you'll be OK.
The Star Allies have your back!
No telling if it's true, but according to the ancient scrolls,
Void Termina may rise again in other forms depending
on whether positive or negative energy is gathered.
It seems this being of darkness will wander the galaxy
until one day he is reborn into a new existence.
When he returns, hopefully it will be as...a friend.

[Note: The phases for the boss are Human, Bird, Core 1 and Core 2. Human is able to switch the elements of it’s attacks for it’s sword. The eyeball on its stomach is a weak point. Red Tears is likely an internal reference to Zero. Due to the complexity and scale of the final boss, this is the only attack sorted internally for Bird's phase. The Spear of Love is the same that was being used to seal it in the intro. Rainbow Bow is likely a counterpart to the Rainbow Sword. Core 1 is able to possess your helpers’ soul and make them fight against you, they can be saved by using the Friend Heart. Dark Matter Laser is used in the final attack -- Star Allies Sparkler’s Friend Laser against Void Termina’s Dark Matter Laser.]
Old-Growth Elder: Yggy Woods
No—that's not Whispy Woods!
This venerable elder is Yggy Woods,
ancient king of trees. Any travelers
who stray into his neck of the woods
will feel the full force of nature's wrath!

[Note: Yggy has an elemental weakness to fire. He has a special death animation, different from Whispy. Yggy can call Burning Leo, Blade Knight, Chilly, Como, Waddle Dee, Driblee, Jammerjab and Gordo. Yggy’s name is a reference to the world tree Yggdrasil. This is further noticed in the Japanese name, Yggdra. Yggy Woods is fought in the final level using the Friend Star, similar to Clanky/Robobot and Flowery/Hypernova.]
Dual Thunderheads: Twin Kracko
Two eyes glare in the gloom like an
angry face in the sky—this isn't what
Kracko's like back on Popstar! Twice as
fluffy and twice as mean, Twin Kracko's
combo attacks are brutal—but they're
no match for the power of friendship!
-----
Tackle
Rain

Wide Beam
Pursuit Beam
Pursuit Wide Beam
Thunder
Powerful Thunder
Enemy Summon
Slime Generate
[Note: Twin Kracko can be frozen by using Ice attacks while it’s raining. Twin Kracko seems to be created by having a singular Kracko split its body.]
The Metal Heavies: Goldon & Silvox
This glittering duo made their home on
a backwater island on a certain planetoid,
and they'll viciously attack anyone who
stumbles into their territory. Beware the
furry fury of Goldon and Silvox!
Walk
Dash
Super Dash
Ice Bomb
Fire Bomb
Shutter Gate
[Note: Goldon & Silvox’s Fire and Ice bombs can be destroyed by using the opposite element. The Shutter Gate is used to separate players. It can be destroyed with Fire.]
Temporal Warrior: Galacta Knight
Reborn Butterfly: Morpho Knight
On the day of judgment, this fluttery fiend will fly
into action. Brought into existence by "the greatest
warrior in the galaxy" and reborn as a knight of doom
through years of adversity—now begins an epic battle
with a pure being twisted by a dark past.

[Note: Morpho Knight is heavily based on the unused Meta Knight design from Kirby GCN. Hyness summons Galacta Knight. Galacta Knight calls Morpho Knight from Hades using a black hole. It’s unknown how much Galacta Knight will actually be featured, if at all, as they’re coded as the same boss. Galacta Knight has no pause description despite having VS. Titlecards. Given the Double Sword attacks it’s possible that this boss will dual-wield.]
Essence of Chaos: Void Soul
No one knows from whence he came, only that he has
existed for aeons, unchanging and unrelenting.
Perpetually roaming the cosmos, he has finally arrived.
And now, he has begun to feel. To desire. To think.
Within the Void, there lurks...a Soul!
-----
[Note: Similar to Bird’s phase, Void Soul has no true separation in the code, so it’s impossible to accurately sort out. However, Void Soul doesn’t seem to be a unique boss anyways. It’s simply Void Termina 4 EX, similar to how Magolor Soul is handled.]

Story
Here’s the entire story script. The Jambastion Mages’ EX dialogue is activated in either The Ultimate Choice or during rematches in story mode’s final world. It directly references Kirby so Star Allies Go! isn’t a possibility.
Francisca (Encounter):
…Bonjam.
Heh. That’s how we greet people
on MY planet. I am Francisca, one of the three
generals of magic. Together, we command the Fortress
of Shadows known as…Jambastion!
We wish to assemble the dark
Jamba Heart pieces that were
scattered across the universe. Once we do, our most twisted of
visions will finally be…untwisted.
Unthawed? Unfurled! But I do not wish to waste my time with
pointless chatter. So I won’t! Just know that should you attempt
to oppose us…
I’ll have no choice but to put you
on ice…FOREVER!
Francisca EX (Encounter):
...Hmph. Color me surprised.
I certainly didn't expect to run into your puffy self again.
And here I thought you were buried along with the
Jambastion... Well then! I'll just have to ensure that
my victory is complete this time!
I shall now turn this pink ball of nice
into a frozen block of ice!
Heh! I always wanted an ice sculpture
for my trophy collection!
Yes, YOU! I have a buuuurning question for you!
You’re the one who was so rude to
sweet Francisca, aren’t you?!
Don’t you dare try to deny it! Fiend! Coward! I swear, if you’ve
harmed a single blue hair on her
perfect head…you’ll BURN for it!!!
Jamblasted!!
I will never EVER forgive you! Now you must face Flamberge!
That’s ME!
For what you’ve done, I’ll scorch you
to such a degree that…that…
even tasty, toasty marshmallows
will seem like ice cubes
compared to you!
[Note: This line was toned down and heavily localized, the Japanese version roughly translates to "I'll burn you to the point that you'll think the flames of hell are lukewarm."]
Flamberge EX (Encounter):
Bahaha!
Who would have thought my search for
the Jamba Heart pieces would lead me
back to you and your puffery! This must
be the fiery flames of fate at work!
Ooooh yeaaaah!
My flames and I are fully stoked now!
Beware, you puny pink pest! In the name of Lord Hyness...
I'll turn you into a burning ball
of meddlesomeness!
[Note: Her "Ooooh yeaaaah!" is more literately "Argh!". She comes off too comical at times because her lines have been exaggerated in localization. Francisca suffers this to an extent too.]
Zan Partizanne (Encounter):
Bonjam.
I am Zan Partizanne, the eldest of the
three generals of magic.
At first I thought you to be just a
simpleton with a knack for annoyance.
Hmph! Now it is clear that you are an
interfering interloper! But I am afraid your unwanted
wanderings end here.By the will of our beloved liege,
Lord Hyness, Officiant of Doom…
I shall destroy you here and now!
Zan Partizanne EX (Encounter):
Stop right there, pink one!
I did not expect you to survive
your visit to Jambastion. What's more, you somehow bested
my darling Franny and Berge! However, your luck has run out.
It is the dearest wish of Lord Hyness...
THAT NO ONE INTERFERES!
Zan Partizanne (Defeat):
Ugh… Jam…blasted…
Bah! How could there be such opposition
on a measly and remote planet like this?!
Well, it matters not. This Jamba Heart
piece is already within my grasp! Listen here, you tiny ball of puffy pink
mischief! For all I care…
You and this Jambastion can
rot in ruin forever!!
Baaahahahaha!
Jambuhbye!
Zan Partizanne EX (Defeat):
Heeelp... Hy...ness...
Hyness (Appear):
Juh?
What is this…interference?
You… You seem to be in my way.
Well then…It seems…we do not have enough energy…to revive our Dark Lord… Must we…allow ourselves…to fall…into oblivion?
No.
NO!
No no no no no no!
NONONONONONONONONO!!!
NOOOOO, I SAAAAY!!!
We are the masters of a power driven to the far reaches of the universe, and we have but one desire! Can one such as you possibly fathom how dearly we have clung to this dream across the aeons? How could you! You couldn’t! Never ever ever! We who once faced those who were in such fear of our power that they sealed us away and banished us to the edge of the galaxy! US! As if THAT loveliness wasn’t enough, they tried to erase our very existence from history! RUDE! Only through our magic were we able to overcome their science and achieve great prosperity! We alone were responsible for stopping that repulsive nightmare of a galactic crisis, yet this is how you repay us! This won’t stand! It won’t be forgiven! It won’t be forgotten! Never ever EVER! Those who called us mad, are you listening? You left us at the edge of the galaxy to be forgotten, then went along your merry way, probably living somewhere pretty and peaceful! But know this! Your future is a farce! You have none! We, masters of a matter most dark, vow to be restored, as foretold in the book of legend, which everyone thought was just a fairy tale! It WASN’T! We have already obtained the vessel that contains our Dark Lord, and he will soon awaken and shower us in compassion! Look! The vessel of our Dark Lord is filling up even as we speak! Now the time for his greatness to enter our world has come! Welcome to a new history! A new age! The age of awesome! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DARK LORD! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Grace us, Gloriously Dark Looooooord!
Huff… Hah… Huff… Hah…
You see it now…don’t you? Anyone who interrupts our revival ceremony…
We must kindly ask that they…
PLEASE DISAPPEAR FOREVER!
[Note: Hyness sometimes stretches out vowels and talks slowly, for example "What is this...interference?" is along the lines of "Whaat is this interferencee?". In contrast, his long speech doesn't stretch out words because he's talking quickly until the last sentence. He says Happy Birthday in Japanese too: 「はっぴぃーばーすで~い!」. "The age of awesome!" in Japanese is him going on about Void's birth. "Dark Lord" in the original is simply "God". His "PLEASE DISAPPEAR FOREVER!" line is him formally asking kirby to kill himself for his god. "Perhaps if there is...an offering..." is originally "Perhaps if theere's... A sacrificee..." in Japanese.]
Hyness (Crazy):
Juh?
JUH…
JUH?
JUHYAMBAVITRIGOKOPOKOJAAAH!!
Hyness (Defeat):
Youuuuu…How could you defeat me…
THE Lord Hyness…
An offering to our Dark Lord…
Perhaps if there is…an offering…
What should I do…Only one option remains…
Those who harbor the greatest of magic,
I call upon you…
Make it so…
Accept my aid…I pledge myself to you…Dark Lord of Destruction…
I do this so that…
our Dark Lord…may be rebooooorn…
While the full OST has been removed, the paths to all the tracks still exist in the game. Going by the filenames, several remixes exist. Highlights include Castle Lololo, Vegetable Valley, Orange Ocean and even Miracle Matter alongside the Illustration tracks listed further up.
For the time being, you can download a direct rip of the demo’s OST here.
The voice clips for the three Jambastion mages, Hyness, Void Termina and Kirby can be downloaded here.

Special thanks to Le_Ou, Jediwilli, Rami and Goomy for sticking throughout these past couple days. Shoutouts to @funshinemc on Twitter for being the most patient person ever and helping with motivation!
This post was updated with reference to over 300 notes. As a result, due to length, some minor details and tidbits that don’t fit into existing categories had to be omitted. These will be covered over time on my Twitter.
By the way, I’d like to take a quick second and say that I’m not dead. I’ve been actively working on projects and such...I just haven’t been posting them here. I’ve started to move over to Twitter, instead, which is where most of my activity has gone. If you’d like to keep up with the things I’m doing, you can check it out here: https://twitter.com/reserved_kirby
Eventually, I’m probably going to stop using Tumblr altogether. Not now, but likely soon. I love the Kirby community here. There’s fantastic artwork, really great comics, and even some nice projects going on like Nezzy’s Kirby RPG. The problem is that I can’t stand Tumblr itself (the website). There’s tons of ridiculous things in place that heavily restrict a lot of the content I’d like to post, the biggest offender being the stupid GIF limit.
Tumblr’s commenting system is also pretty bad, being tied heavily to unconventional methods like Asks and special tagging. Due to that, most of the time it feels like I’m some sort of car salesman who’s sole purpose is to gain more followers. The reason I’m making and sharing content is from a passion for the Kirby series, to showcase the work I’ve done with it, and to be able to communicate and interact to people who have similar interests, not increase some arbitrary number..Tumblr, as a platform, does not allow or support that.
also the entire website is blue which is really depressing and weird
I’ve had it since the day it dropped in EU. Battle Royale is a billion times better in the US than it is in EU ‘cause the online servers are actually populated and active. RIP everyone who lives in AUS and will literally never get a match, lol.
It’s kinda hard to explain w/o being vague or writing a ridiculous amount of stuff, so hopefully people don’t take this the wrong way, but I don’t think Ultra did a good job at being a remake of KSS. There’s a lot of core things that were altered; various general/move physics, difficulty level, ability attacks (damage, moves, etc.) along with a whole lot of wasted potential that makes me have little appreciation for the game.
While Nightmare in Dreamland completely revamped Adventure’s physics and mechanics in positive and healthy ways, Ultra decided to change things that were perfectly fine, while completely avoiding problematic issues the original game has like the set jump height. There’s also a couple really unfortunate choices made during it’s development; for example, new abilities were going to be added into the game...they cut them out because they wanted to keep the original feel of KSS (which they didn’t). It’s not all bad, though -- Ultra did do some things nice, like allowing abilities to be dropped properly and adding some new modes.
it’s not that I think Ultra is a bad game or anything, I just think it failed at it’s goal and ended up making Super Star worse. ofc, I just have a lot of really controversial Kirby opinions. I think NiDL is better than Adventure, KSS is better than KSSU and Planet Robobot is the most overrated game in the series, lol.
could you rip dedede's voice clips from the modern kirby games? i don't think anyone else has. i really like kumazaki's version of dedede's voice!

contains voice clips from TD and PR. also has some overlap with KFD and DDD. RtDL Dedede clips are already up on one of those sfx sites, and Battle Royale doesn’t have any new ones aside from filters, I think.
Have you ever tried modding Ultra? It would be fun to see Meta Knight in the Arenas.
nop. I don't like Ultra, honestly, so I have no plans to do anything with it.however, I'm pretty sure it's already possible to use Meta Knight in the Arena by using the Helper to Hero mode? haven't looked into it but I've def heard about it.
Hello! Do you have access to the Voice Clips? I can't seem to find any HQ versions on youtube and I do not want to use smash bros sound clips. Thanks In advance.
This is a cute little render I made of Haltmann celebrating Christmas. In the picture, he’s admiring the snowman that he just finished creating, themed after the CEO himself. You can see his design influences in the clothes he gave it! Along with that, we see his Christmas tree, topped off with a Susie-themed angel that illuminates the room. There’s even one of his most valued possessions underneath the tree! While it isn’t hugely expressed in the image, Haltmann is also wearing his designer-stitched Ugly Christmas Sweater! There’s even a little something hidden within the sky… Can you find it?
This render certainly took a lot of work! Stitching together his entire office, positioning everything properly within a pose, adding in the various props, fixing the shaders, creating the lighting, dealing with fancy model issues like bones, scales and such… it was hectic! Funnily enough, originally, none of this was being done for Christmas. In actuality, it was going to be a Haltmann version of the infamous “Masturbating Spiderman” meme. For those who don’t want to Google those… interesting terms, it’s the picture where Spiderman is crouching behind a desk with a picture of himself crouching behind the same desk sitting above him. However, over time, I decided to rework the project to be a bit more involved with the seasons, and it turned into this.
I’d like to give special thanks to my friend Mark for helping with concepts, Rosie for helping with the custom textures (Haltmann’s Christmas Sweater, Snowman’s Haltmann Sweater) and /u/michaelcuz for fixing what was previously an atrocious-looking desk. Without any of these people, this would not have been possible!
As a bonus, I included an alternate version of the picture. Can you spot the difference?
I'd also like to know the official hp of bosses :o do you think you could also give the damages of kirby's attacks for each game? (I know that's a lot though so if you could just give an example for each I could probably test things out and discover the rest on my own)
Kirby’s damage varies a bit between the games. It’s pretty much useless information unless you’re looking at Super Star, modern game True Arenas or Battle Royale, though.
While they’re slightly inaccurate, Super Star and Return to Dream Land both have mostly complete damage guides by utilizing Computer Virus and Metal General. Robobot also has a partially-finished damage guide from Security Force, I think.
If you want to see how useless the information is, here’s the data for Nightmare in Dream Land. Pretty much everything dies in one hit.
I’ve been collecting Battle Royale’s damage, too, but it’s been a slow process as I haven’t really had the time.
Is it really true that all those enemy names from Kirby's Return to Dream Land were found in a datamine? Though the Ninja enemy, Tsukikage's English name is apparently Moonja, according to a trophy in Smash Bros. Too bad they never wrote a western guide for this game.
I’m not really sure. I haven’t looked over any wiki pages or anything, I don’t really care about it. The romanization of Japanese enemy names are used for the model files, so they’re pretty much all accurate. However, some names are changed when localized.
Some of the internal names are pretty dumb, though. The doctor enemy in Robobot is literally just named “Doctor”, for example.
I'm sorry to bug you and I don't know if you have a policy on requests or anything, but I've been doing some research on Attack Damage and HP in Kirby games (for health bar reasons and such -- game design's a hobby) and I was wondering if you knew those respective categories for the Team Kirby Clash Bosses (the best I've been able to find is an unsourced attribution of 62,000 HP to the True Final Boss on WiKirby).
I’ll get you all the boss data in a bit, need to recollect and reformat all of it ‘cause my current notes have a ton of edits in them. Should have it finished soon; I’ll tag you.
