Boss: Difference between revisions

|image=File:KSSU Whispy Woods artwork.png

|size=300px

*They are fought in a distinctive area, which cannot be left until the boss is defeated or [[Kirby]] loses the fight (in some cases, even a life loss won't let Kirby escape).

*They typically take many hits to defeat, and their [[health]] bar is usually displayed to the player during the fight.

*Generally, defeating them either completes the particular stage or level they are featured in, or completes the game if they are a final boss. There are exceptions where a boss is followed by another boss or does not complete the stage, most notably boss rush stages such as [[Gathering of the Beast Council]].

*With some bosses, there are two or more phases to go through. These are completed in succession and are somewhat more difficult than most bosses. Final bosses such as [[Flowered Sectonia]], [[Star Dream]], and [[Void Termina]] are examples of this.

*There is typically a special sound effect which plays when a boss is defeated. This sound is distinct from the [[Mid-Boss]] version.

|Pon the racoon and Con the fox are two animals of [[Sand Canyon]] that got corrupted by Dark Matter. They are later known as '''Pon & Con''' in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.<br>They walk around the stage in colonies, accompanied by many smaller members of their species.

|align=center|[[File:K64 Whispy Woods Battle.png|150px]]

|[[Pop Star (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|Pop Star]]

|This fight with Whispy takes place on a looping circular stage, with the old tree occupying the middle. Kirby must first defeat his three children, called [[Whispy Woods Jr.]], by using the parent tree's [[Apple]]s to hit them with. Once all three are gone, Whispy becomes furious, and attacks Kirby by shooting out his roots, and tossing out a lot of apples. Kirby must hit the roots to defeat the tree.

|-

|align=center|[[File:K64 Rock Star Stage 5 screenshot 04.png|150px]]

|{{center|[[File:KatAMKingGolem.png]]}}

|[[Moonlight Mansion]]

|In a similar manner to [[Whispy Woods]], this giant stone column remains in one place while dropping rocks and [[Gordo]]s on Kirby, the former of which can be inhaled and spat back at it. It is also capable of releasing [[Golem]]s of different colors from its mouth, which may be used for the same purpose.

|-

|{{center|[[File:KatAMMoley.png]]}}

|[[Cabbage Cavern]]

|A large, gray mole that randomly pops out of one of six holes in the cave it is fought in, tossing various objects at Kirby. Many of these can be inhaled and used to defeat the boss.

|-

|{{center|[[File:KNiDL Kracko sprite.png]]}}

|[[Mustard Mountain]]

|One of the most fought bosses in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], this one-eyed cloud creature employs similar tactics as in other games it appears in, flying across the arena and attacking with beams and rain. It also creates [[Waddle Doo]]s and [[Flamer]]s, which can be used as ammunition or swallowed for the [[Beam]] or [[Burning]] ability, respectively.

|-

|{{center|[[File:Mega_Titan.png]]}}

|[[Carrot Castle]]

|This large robot boss flies around, launching its four fists at Kirby. To defeat it, Kirby has to use the Beam or [[Spark]] ability or push it into the electricity at the sides of the room by using a Copy Ability or the stars generated by its attacks. Once its body is destroyed, its head remains, floating around while firing missiles, which can be inhaled and spat back.

|-

|{{center|[[File:KatAMGobbler.png]]}}

|[[Olive Ocean]]

|A blue shark in a lifebuoy that resides in water, charging at Kirby or releasing smaller sharks, which may be inhaled and spat back. Alternatively, squirting at the boss while underwater likewise damages it. If Kirby leaves the water, Gobbler attacks him by leaping out of it.

|-

|{{center|[[File:KaTAM Wiz.png]]}}

|[[Peppermint Palace]]

|This cloaked magician is fought in a similar manner as [[Paint Roller]] in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. It flies across the room, stopping in one of its corners, and conjures up different objects or enemies, which Kirby can inhale and spit back at the boss.

|-

|{{center|[[File:KNiDL Meta Knight sprite.png]]}}

|[[Radish Ruins]]

|This masked swordsman appears to be [[Meta Knight]], but is actually Dark Meta Knight in disguise. He attacks by using various sword fighting techniques, a few of which create stars that may be spat back. Unlike Kirby's fights with Meta Knight in other games, the [[Sword]] ability is not provided in this battle.

|-

|{{center|[[File:KatAMMasterHand.png]][[File:KatAMCrazyHand.png]]}}

|[[Candy Constellation]]

|For this boss battle, the Master Hand Mid-Boss teams up with Crazy Hand from the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, who looks identical to himself. In addition to each of them being able to use the Mid-Boss's abilities, the two gloves may cooperate to perform a clapping attack. Each of the bosses has to be defeated seperately, either by using a Copy Abilitiy or spitting the stars generated by some of their attacks back at them.

|-

|[[Dark Meta Knight]]

|{{center|[[File:KatAMDarkMetaKnight.png]]}}

|Dark Meta Knight returns for a rematch, now unmasked by the real Meta Knight. His attacks are similar to those he uses in the original battle with him, but he attacks more quickly and is able to use new, more powerful abilities, such as creating a tornado that throws Kirby into the air and damages him. He can be defeated by using either a Copy Ability or the stars generated by a few of his attacks.

|-

|[[Dark Mind]] (phase 1)

|{{center|[[File:KatAMDarkMind1.png]]}}

|The first phase of Dark Mind, a large, cloaked figure with a helmet, has to be fought four times in consecution in slightly different arenas, with a short breather segment and the possiblity of acquiring a [[Maxim Tomato]] between each battle. He attacks by teleporting around the room and performing a wide repertoire of attacks, most of which involve launching stars at Kirby in different formations, exposing his weak core in the process. To harm him, Kirby has to use the [[Master]] ability, which is provided at the beginning of the battle, to attack his core, avoiding the two mirror circling around him. If Kirby loses the ability, he may alternatively inhale Dark Mind's star projectiles and fire them back at him.

|-

|[[Dark Mind]] (phase 2)

|{{center|[[File:KatAMDarkMind2.png]]}}

|Dark Mind's second form resembles a giant ball of fire with a singular eye. He normally floats at the top of the screen, though he occasionally charges across the ground. Many of his attacks involve mirrors, which he causes to fly around the screen, damaging Kirby if he touches them, or to reflect laser beams he shoots. He may also fire a large, powerful beam at Kirby, or flip the entire stage upside-down. In addition, Dark Mind continuously summons various kinds of enemies, including Waddle Doos, [[Boxin]]s, [[Sir Kibble]]s and [[Laser Ball]]s, which can be used as ammunition or swallowed for their ability, should Kirby lose the Master ability.

|-

|[[Dark Mind]] (phase 3)

|{{center|[[File:KatAMDarkMind3.png]]}}

|The final form of Dark Mind (and the final boss of the game) resembles its second form, but is considerably smaller. It is fought in a similar manner as [[Nightmare]]'s first form in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]''. Kirby, riding on a [[Warp Star]], has to fire stars at Dark Mind, who flies left and right near the top of the screen and is likewise able to shoot stars in various patterns, as well as charge at Kirby. Even after the boss is defeated, Kirby may continue fighting him while the credits roll, though it is not possible to lose the battle any more at that point. A score is kept for every hit Dark Mind takes, and when the credits end, an extra 30 points is earned.

**Despite this, the first main-series title to feature neither of them is ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', though a [[Tropic Woods|relative]] of Whispy Woods does appear in that game.

*In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', if two players are in play before the boss [[stamina|health]] bar appears, the boss will have their health increased by 30%. This can be prevented by summoning the [[Helper]] after the boss health bar appears.

*A Miiverse post regarding ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' revealed that bosses fought repeatedly gradually lose their maximum health and become slower and weaker. As such, each time Kirby fails to defeat the boss and tries again, the boss becomes slightly easier. This is meant to give relief to players struggling with the fights.<ref>[https://kirbydevpostarchive.tumblr.com/post/164948734591/hal-laboratory-%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B7%E3%83%80-hallaboratory-07252014-919 Miiverse post about bosses (archive)]</ref> This mechanic has been present in all subsequent main-series ''Kirby'' games, as well as the spin-offs ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''. It does not apply to battles in [[Boss Endurance]] modes, however.

*From ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' onward, main series bosses (and [[mid-boss]]es) have a variable defense multipler. The defense of bosses usually increases in the following scenarios:

**When they are performing certain attacks.

**When there is more than one player in the battle (in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and ''Kirby Star Allies''), the players receive a decreased attack multiplier rather than bosses having an increased health or defense multiplier.
