The '''Tower of Mid-Bosses''' is an area, level or stage commonly seen in various games in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series. Essentially, the tower takes the form of an area where various [[Mid-Boss]]es are fought in succession, usually in a building or other structure in which [[Kirby]] ascends after each fight. In-between each fight is usually a respite area, where Kirby can recover some [[health]] and/or use the ability he obtained from the last fight to obtain a treasure in that room. After the last fight, Kirby reaches the highest point of the tower, then proceeds to the exit. | The '''Tower of Mid-Bosses''' is an area, level or stage commonly seen in various games in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series.
