“ | Alone in a strange dimension and without his powers, Magolor must platform through challenging stages and defeat enemies. You and up to 3 friends can take control of different-colored Magolors for 4-player interdimensional action. Complete the main story to unlock this new adventure! | ” | — Description of Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler from the North American website for Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler is an Extra Mode that is set to appear in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, which will be unlocked after the Story Mode is complete. In it, the player plays as Magolor, who has been stranded deep within Another Dimension and has lost most of his magical powers, gaining a ragged monochrome look in the process. Throughout this adventure, Magolor can defeat enemies to gain Magic Points, which he can then use to upgrade his magical abilities. He can also find Fruit Fragments to unlock new skills and attacks. Along the way, Magolor will travel through more than 20 stages and fight different variants of bosses from the Main Mode (such as a watery version of Goriath and a fiery version of Fatty Puffer), with the goal being to eventually open a portal to return home. Like with the Main Mode, Magolor Epilogue can be played with up to four players, though everyone plays as Magolor.
Overview and known details
“ | The shattered crown was scattered across dimensions, as were Magolor's powers. Now he seeks to reclaim them! Is this a journey of penance or revenge? And what surprises await at the end?! | ” | — Special Page for Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
The central premise of Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler is that Magolor, as a consequence of his defeat at the hands of Kirby and his friends, has been banished to the lowest depths of Another Dimension and stripped of most of his magical powers. Magolor's goal throughout this mode is to recover his lost power and eventually find his way home. As such, all of the stages in Magolor Epilogue take place in disparate dimensions, similar to the stages in Heroes in Another Dimension from Kirby Star Allies.
There will be more than 20 stages in Magolor Epilogue, contained by "areas". Each stage keeps score in the form of Magic Points, which are earned by defeating enemies or finding them in various places in stages. Additional Magic Points may be earned by scoring "combos" on enemies, though the exact way this is determined is not yet known. At the end of each stage, the game will present the total number of Magic Points earned, and award a medal based on the result, similar to the scoring system for stages in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse. Once Magolor gains enough Magic Points, he can enter the "Magolor's Magic Skills" menu to spend them to upgrade his abilities. If he wants to learn new skills and attacks, he needs to find Fruit Fragments scattered around the realms, which are collected from bosses in a similar way to the ship parts of the Lor Starcutter in the Main Mode.
In terms of enemies, Magolor appears to fight the standard enemies from the Main Mode, with the notable addition of the various Doomers, and other enemies bearing their Halcandran designs. There are however a number of distinct bosses based on bosses from the main story, as well as a new final boss:
- Electricky Dooter - a version of Mr. Dooter dressed as a wizard who uses lightning attacks
- Fiery Puffer - a version of Fatty Puffer with horns who uses fiery attacks
- Hydriath - a version of Goriath with a fishtail and hair made of water who uses watery attacks
- Rampaging Doomers - a group of four Sphere Doomers with horns made out of Energy Sphere gears
- Crowned Doomer - a version of Grand Doomer powered up by the shards of the Master Crown and a red fruit
- Master Crown - a manifestation of the Master Crown itself, taking the form of a large, gnarled tree by consuming the red fruit
Trivia
- In a Miiverse post about Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, series director Shinya Kumazaki appears to have hinted at the premise of this mode. When talking about Magolor's role in the game, he said, "Magolor’s whereabouts are uncertain after Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, but he seems pretty lively here. After roaming around the dimension beyond space and time, he might’ve found an exit."[1]
- The Japanese subtitle for Magolor Epilogue, 異空をかける旅人 (ikū wo kakeru tabibito, "The Traveler Across Another Dimension"), is the same as the Japanese name of Distant Traveler, the final stage of Dedede's Drum Dash, though the katakana and hiragana are flipped (異空ヲカケル旅人).
- Interestingly, the opening cutscene shows Magolor Soul when flashing back to Magolor's defeat rather than his Story Mode form, even though Magolor Epilogue can be played before clearing Extra Mode.
