Talk:Mix

While I was playing Egg Engines - Stage 3, I inhaled two Searches enemies and the Mix started. I supose that unless I touched the button to get a different ability, I would have gotten Crash anyway? To be clear, I let the roulette stop by itself.

Mechanics of the Mix in K&TAM

I have completed my recently run research about how Mix in K&TAM works. In the content, I'd cover how the Mix in this game works and add a table of Mix Results (Mix Result = Copy Ability received in the end without interrupting the Mix roulette) for all 26 Copy Abilities in this game. For the quick explanation why this probably is possible only in this game, I'll only elaborate for now with a quick few paragraphs.

Alright, so, this game has 26 Copy Abilities, including Master. Mix can be activated with any and all of these Copy Abilities, and Mix purely depends on:

• 2 or more enemies each featuring a Copy Ability
• Copy Ability of the enemy first to enter Kirby's mouth.

Therefore, for example; if you suck up a Sparky (which features Spark copy ability) together with any number of any other enemies featuring a copy ability, the Mix Result will always be Missile - but only if Sparky was the first to enter Kirby's mouth. As aforementioned, only the Copy Ability of an enemy is important, so if you eventually find another enemy featuring Spark, it will result the same way.

You may be wondering, "how did you manage to activate a Mix with every copy ability in this game (including even Master, Throw, Hammer, Smash and Magic)" - well exactly what you just thought - all the last four copy abilities are exclusive to mid-bosses, which cannot be sucked up with another enemy! This is true, as Mix can only be activated by sucking up two common and small enemies, not mid-bosses. And moreover, Galaxia (which features the Master copy ability) can be only possessed by touching it while it's standing on its pedestal in the main hub room or by inhaling and swallowing it back when bouncing around as a Ability Star - while it's standing on its pedestal, it cannot be inhaled and the second way it works just as the Ability Stars - if inhaled alone or with an enemy, it still gives you the Master copy ability back.

Well, remember Droppy, the enemy that can absorb your copy ability? Guess what, Droppy with an absorbed copy ability when attempted to be a part of a Mix actually works! Sparky-Droppy acts same as the real Sparky. Doing the same thing as in the example I have written up there two paragraphs above would result the same. Droppy can also feature any of the five previously mentioned abilities that normally cannot be a part of a Mix, if absorbed, so that's the one and the only way to do a Mix with these abilities.

To short the story and to not add everything about it in this talk page, here's the thing - Droppy makes its only appearance in this game exclusively, so if there is nothing of similar nature in other Kirby games, only K&TAM can be covered in this aspect. Therefore, what is your ultimate opinion about it? Explanations of mechanics of a certain feature are almost always welcome, and I think the difficulty or even a impossibility of completing them is not a reason to cease one's completeness. Ultimately, partly-complete tables with results may not be a preferable thing to add to an article, so only K&TAM's explanations of its Mix mechanics would stay there as a completely-covered content, while some other games would be having a gap abaft K&TAM for the same. That is unless they don't have same Mix mechanics as the K&TAM and such extensive and difficult research on them doesn't have to be done.

Request to start covering the Mix page

Mix is present for two and a half decades by now, and is one of the most notable features since. It's simply one of the things to focus on. I'd like to kindly request a co-operation of all those who can, to start unstubbing this page as soon as possible.
