Editing Abusement Park

'''Abusement Park''' is the 31st (30th in the 4Kids broadcast) episode of the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' series. In this episode, [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] hosts a carnival at [[Castle Dedede]] in an attempt to attract and trap [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] in a deadly carnival ride. When this plan fails, Dedede consults [[Night Mare Enterprises]], who sends [[Walky]] and suggest a plan to host a karaoke contest to lure Kirby directly to N.M.E. headquarters where a large mob of [[monster]]s will be waiting to devour him. This plan nearly works, but Kirby inhales Walky and gains the [[Mike]] [[Copy Ability]] before being teleported to N.M.E. There, Mike Kirby's singing is so destructive that N.M.E. is forced to send him back, where he destroys Castle Dedede with his voice.

The episode begins early in the morning at [[Kirby's House]] where [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] himself is napping in the nest just outside. He is suddenly awoken when [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] greets him using his megaphone, and announces to both Kirby and [[Tokkori]] that he has an announcement to proclaim later. At [[Cappy Town]], Escargoon proclaims to the people that a new amusement park has been built at [[Castle Dedede]] and that everyone is "cordially ordered" to attend, with all expenses paid. The [[Cappy (anime)|Cappies]] - always eager to jump at the opportunity for free entertainment - are delighted, but [[Tiff]] naturally is dubious about the proposition, particularly when King Dedede singles out Kirby as a hopeful attendee. A number of days later, the festivities begin and the Cappies gather outside of Castle Dedede. Tiff continues to doubt the King's sincerity, but she is talked down by Dedede and Escargoon as they barge in as usual. From there, the castle drawbridge is lowered, and the residents of Cappy Town come flooding in.

After a steep drop, the ride takes the kids down to a water course designed to look like a barren volcanic wasteland with piles of skulls. At that moment, a big stone statue of King Dedede comes to life and starts to chase them down the castle halls. As Dedede and Escargoon watch, the cameras in their surveillance room all start to break down mysteriously, cutting off their ability to track the kids. Just as the statue is about to crush Kirby and his friends, [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]] swoops in and stops it. His apprentices [[Sword Knight (anime character)|Sword]] and [[Blade Knight (anime character)|Blade]] then jump in to report that all the cameras have been disabled. However, at that moment, the Dedede statue picks itself back up, prompting the soldiers to cut it down before it can crush the kids. Meta Knight then warns the kids that there may still be a [[monster]] present in the castle and to evacuate the Cappies, but is interrupted again when additional Dedede statues come to life. The kids escape as the knights battle and destroy these statues. At that moment, Dedede's surveillance team manages to get some cameras back up, only to find the statues broken. Dedede decides to call a monster in to finish the job.

Out of the [[Monster Delivery System]] comes [[Walky]]: the "Microphone Monster". This monster is sent largely as a joke to berate Dedede for his overdue bills, but a plan is suggested regardless to trick Kirby into standing on the teleporter as part of a karaoke contest so he can be sent directly to [[eNeMeE's Fortress]] to be "done in" personally by the company. Escargoon mocks this idea by mimicking it on the teleporter, but receives a prompt demonstration when he is sent through the teleporter. At this, King Dedede sets off to start the contest right away. Back outside, Tiff and Tuff are in the process of convincing the Cappies to leave the carnival, but Escargoon gets their attention by announcing the karaoke contest along with massive rewards for the winners. The grand prize is a lifetime supply of watermelons, which gets Kirby's attention in particular. The Cappies are then directed into the throne room, where the teleporter has been disguised as a karaoke stage. The Cappies take turns attempting to sing, but none of them do a particularly good job, and each interrupt each-other. After [[Sir Ebrum]] takes the stage, King Dedede reminds Kirby of the watermelon prize. While the Cappies continue to fight amongst each-other, Kirby tries to force himself through the crowd. Meta Knight warns Tiff not to let Kirby get to the "stage", but at that moment, the N.M.E. Sales Guy pauses the crowd by reiterating watermelons as the grand prize, allowing Kirby to get through.

*In the Japanese version, the ticket Mayor Len is holding reads "D D Vegas Free Passport", whereas in the international versions, the text is replaced with an image of King Dedede's head.

*In the Japanese version, there is an additional scene at the carnival involving arcade crane games filled with dolls of various characters from the show. Tiff comments that they didn't get her permission to make dolls of her.

**Notably, these dolls of Tiff and Tuff would later appear as part of the [[Kirby Anniversary|Kirby's 30th Anniversary]] artwork series, which shows Kirby carrying one of each along the line-up.

*In the Japanese version, King Dedede complains to the N.M.E. Sales Guy that despite his bills, he is the customer, and therefore, he is God. In the English version, he lies by saying his bill payment is in the mail.

*In the Japanese version, Escargoon mocks the karaoke plan by singing in English "You ain't nothin' but a hound dog!". This is a reference to the song [[wikipedia:Hound Dog (song)|''Hound Dog'']], made famous by [[wikipedia:Elvis Presley|Elvis Presley]].

*In the Japanese version, the prize announced for the karaoke contest is 9 million Dedededollars as well as a year's supply of watermelons. In the English version, these prizes are split up into second and first, respectively.

*In the Japanese version, Sir Ebrum tries to sing [[wikipedia:Frank Sinatra|Frank Sinatra]]'s songs ''I Left My Heart in San Francisco'' and ''My Way''.

*In the Japanese version, [[Walky]] is able to speak, but can only repeat names. It is also shown that the music inside the karaoke room was coming from it the whole time. In the international versions, Walky only vocalizes at the end by screaming at Kirby.

*When Kirby, [[Tiff]], [[Tuff]], [[Fololo & Falala]], and the [[Cappy (anime)|Cappy kids]] board the Crushing Caverns ride, Fololo and Falala are in the third row and [[Spikehead]] and [[Honey]] are in the fourth. In the next scene, Honey and Spikehead are in the third row, Fololo and Falala are in the first row with Tuff and Kirby, and the fourth row is empty.

*While in the surveillance room, Escargoon can be heard cracking his knuckles. This seems to imply that - despite being a snail - he has an internal skeleton. This is later contradicted in the episode [[Shell-Shocked]], where it is implied that Escargoon is an invertebrate.
