Revenge of the King is an main game exclusive to Kirby Super Star Ultra. It is a harder and longer version of Spring Breeze, with many enemies replaced with tougher counterparts, and the bosses all upgraded (and Kabula thrown in as well). It is unlocked when Milky Way Wishes is completed, and must be completed to unlock The True Arena.
Plot
King Dedede wants to get revenge on Kirby (presumably for the events of Spring Breeze), so he musters his forces and fortifies his castle. Kirby sets off to defeat him again (possibly presuming that Dedede is up to no good) by traversing the land and besting his minions. He collects three Sparkling Stars along the way, using them to battle Kabula and gain access to the castle.
Once inside, Kirby charges toward Dedede's throne room, as Dedede sends in the last of his minions in a desperate bid to stop the pink menace. As this happens, Dedede is having a running conversation with his closest soldier, Bandana Waddle Dee, who bravely defends Dedede despite being dismissed. Once Kirby reaches the ring, he battles the king, who has donned a mask and jet hammer for the occasion.
Once defeated, Dedede is knocked out of his castle once more. He and the remainder of his Waddle Dees roam the desert in disgrace, in the knowledge that they simply cannot best Kirby.
Stages
The stages are played in the following order:
- Purple Plants - EX version of Green Greens. The boss is Whispy's Revenge.
- Illusion Islands - EX version of Float Islands. The boss is Lololo & Lalala's Revenge.
- Crash Clouds - EX version of Bubbly Clouds. The boss is Kracko's Revenge.
- Mt. Dedede Sky - A stage consisting solely of the battle with Kabula.
- The Revenge - EX Version of Mt. Dedede, greatly expanded to include more of the castle. The boss is Masked Dedede.
