Stage 6 (Boss: Metal General, HR-D3)
The stage begins in an elevator in the factory. It automatically takes Kirby and his friends up to a room with a conveyor belt floor. In this room are Pedestals with the following abilities: Hi-Jump, Beam, Ninja and Sword. The conveyor then leads to another elevator that goes up to the door to the boss room.
The boss room itself is merely a platform located in the wasteland, with walls on both sides but no ceiling. The Metal General is already present in the room, though deactivated. Approaching causes a strange glow to emanate into the General's body, activating him and beginning the fight. The General has a variety of attacks, including various dive-bombs using his jets and a laser sword which he can wield with great finesse. He can also create energy shields and fire lasers and missiles at Kirby. The missiles can be inhaled to get the Bomb ability.
Once knocked down to half health, the General begins to spark and stutter. He summons a giant rocket and boards it, flying off into the distance. He will then attempt to ram Kirby with it from the background, and finish by crashing it into the ground, releasing a large field of lingering flames in the process. He will also release lightning mines, which can be swallowed for the Spark ability and summon UFOs to aid him. Once defeated, he explodes, and the level is complete.

Metal General EX sports a red paint job, as opposed to the normal one's blue color. His attacks are generally faster and last longer, and he also has the ability to summon multiple rockets at a time. When defeated, however, he does not explode immediately. Instead, he flies off into the background, and the walls of the arena lower. He then returns with a new and much larger robot to fight Kirby, known as HR-D3, which the General pilots.
In the first phase, HR-D3 fights in the background, and can only be hit when it attempts to punch or drill Kirby with its arms. As it takes damage, it will lose pieces in various areas. From the background, it can also fire lasers from its eyes and the General will attempt to fire more missiles at Kirby. It can also do a spinning attack with its arms that is tough to counter. Once its health bar is depleted, HR-D3 loses its headpiece and falls away.
It then reappears with a new health bar on the stage itself and stomps about the stage, finishing with an attempt to body-slam Kirby and his friends. During this fight, HR-D3 will continue to lose pieces, and end up as a barely functioning skeleton near the end of the fight. It will continue to do many of its attacks from before, but this time, it is much harder to dodge, due to its massive size. Once defeated, it loses its arms and stabilizer and falls over, then explodes with the General inside it, thus finishing the level.
