Marx is a mischievous, small, round, jester-like creature from Popstar who serves as the final boss and main antagonist of Milky Way Wishes from Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. In this role, he feigns to be Kirby's ally and instructs him to summon Galactic Nova to stop the Sun and Moon from fighting, but then steals Kirby's wish at just the right moment to gain immense magical power. With this power, Marx intends to take over Popstar so that he can cause all the mischief he wants, so Kirby uses the Starship to chase him down and defeats both him and Galactic Nova, sending Marx careening into Nova to blow it to smithereens. In The True Arena, Marx is subsequently reincarnated into Marx Soul by absorbing pieces of the destroyed Nova, forcing Kirby to battle him again, though whether or not this battle officially happens in the same continuity of Milky Way Wishes is not confirmed.
Since this initial set of appearances, Marx has frequently appeared in subsequent games, though usually as little more than a cameo or reference. He would become playable for the first time as a Dream Friend in Kirby Star Allies, where his moveset mainly revolves around using his ball as a projectile and using his attacks as a boss in Kirby Super Star. Many of those latter attacks would be referenced and reused by subsequent final bosses in the Kirby series, with the most commonly-referenced attacks including Black Hole, "Marx Cannon", and Shooter Cutter. His character arc (and several of his attacks) would also be directly referenced by Magolor, and the two would subsequently become associated in various external media for the franchise. Marx has also made appearances outside of the Kirby series, with the most notable being his inclusion as a boss in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. His name is likely based on the Marx Brothers, as they were famous comedians.
