A '''final boss''' (sometimes referred to as a '''last boss''') is the term often used to describe the last [[boss]] in a video game. The [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] is no stranger to this idea, with a majority of games having one or more final bosses. Final bosses aren't distinguished just by whether the credits roll after their defeat, but are often given their own unique level, such as [[The Fountain of Dreams (level)|The Fountain of Dreams]] or [[Mind in the Program]], and may occasionally be a secret villain or twist villain such as [[Dark Matter]] or [[Marx]]. Some final bosses use moves that work in a similar way to moves used by previous level bosses, building on what Kirby has learned over the course of his adventure. Others still are actually false final bosses, only allowing access to the "true" final boss once certain milestones have been reached.

A '''final boss''' (sometimes referred to as a '''last boss''') is the term used to describe the last [[boss]] in a video game, or a mode within a game. The [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] is no stranger to this idea, with most games in the series utilizing bosses, and by extension final bosses. There are a couple things that set apart final bosses from regular bosses:
*A final boss is naturally the last boss that appears in a game or mode.
*Final bosses are almost always the strongest foes in their respective games or modes, often having the most [[health]] and having multiple phases.
*Final bosses are often fought in their own [[level]] at the end of a game's [[Story Mode]], such as [[The Fountain of Dreams (level)|The Fountain of Dreams]], [[Dark Star]], or [[Mind in the Program]], though they are sometimes not the only boss fought there.
*A special ability is often used to fight and/or defeat a final boss. This is most often a unique [[Last Battle Ability]] like [[Ribbon's Crystal]], [[Star Allies Sparkler]], or [[Big-Rig Mouth]], but can sometimes by a more common special ability like [[Tankbot]] or [[Hypernova]].
*Final bosses almost always have their own unique boss music not heard during any other gameplay in the game they appear in, such as "[[Vs. Marx]]", "[[Last Boss / Second Form]]", "[[Fatal Blooms in Moonlight]]".
Often, [[Extra Mode]]s also have their own final bosses, whether it be a complete unique boss or a variant of the Story Mode's final boss. On few occasions, the "true" final boss of a game's Story Mode can only be accessed once a certain milestone has been reached, with the penultimate boss of the game only being a final boss in the [[bad ending]]. Each of the many [[Boss Endurance]] modes found throughout the series naturally also has a final boss. In most Boss Endurance modes, such as [[The Arena]], the final boss is a mostly unaltered version of the Story Mode's final boss, but tougher variants or difficulties, such as [[The True Arena]], almost always have a unique final boss, most often being a [[:Category:Soul bosses|Soul boss]].

|[[King Dedede]] acts as the first final boss in the series, using his hammer, [[inhale]], and [[Super Dedede Jump]] to battle [[Kirby]] in [[Castle Dedede|his castle]] atop [[Mt. Dedede]]. Kirby is able to attack back by inhaling the [[Dropped Star]]s left by some of his attacks, and spitting them back at him. In [[Extra Mode|Extra Game]], King Dedede uses his attacks more aggressively.
|'''[[King Dedede]]''' is the very first final boss in the series, being the main antagonist and final boss of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. He can use his hammer, [[inhale]], and [[Super Dedede Jump]] to battle [[Kirby]] in [[Castle Dedede|his castle]] atop [[Mt. Dedede]]. Kirby is able to attack back by inhaling the [[Dropped Star]]s left by some of his attacks, and spitting them back at him. After his defeat, the king gets launched out of his castle and Kirby collects the final [[Sparkling Star]], using it to transform into a giant balloon to give back the stolen food to [[Dream Land]]'s citizens. In [[Extra Mode|Extra Game]], King Dedede is also the final boss, and uses his attacks more aggressively.

|After Kirby defeats King Dedede once again, [[The Fountain of Dreams (level)|Level 8]] starts, and [[Nightmare]] is revealed to be the true villain of the game. King Dedede uses his inhale to launch Kirby and the [[Star Rod]] towards Nightmare's Power Orb, whom Kirby must defeat using the Star Rod before reaching the ground and losing a life. Afterwards, Nightmare turns into his Nightmare Wizard form, using more attacks to try to take down Kirby. When defeated, Nightmare explodes, leaving a large crater in the [[moon]], but Kirby manages to escape using his [[Warp Star]]. Nightmare is also the last boss in the [[Boss Endurance]] mode.
|After Kirby defeats King Dedede once again, Kirby collects the last piece of the [[Star Rod]] and puts it back into the [[Fountain of Dreams]] while Dedede tries to stop him. At first, all seems well, until everything goes dark and an ominous orb appears and flies away. After a bit of panicking, King Dedede uses his [[inhale]] to launch Kirby and the Star Rod towards '''[[Nightmare|Nightmare's Power Orb]]''', whom Kirby must defeat using the Star Rod while avoiding the stars being shot at him, and before falling back to the ground. Afterwards, Nightmare flies away to the [[moon]] and Kirby chases after him using his [[Warp Star]]. Nightmare then destroys the Warp Star and transforms into his '''Nightmare Wizard''' form, shooting more stars at Kirby to try to take him down. Kirby can use the Star Rod to attack Nightmare's weak spot, that being his tornado-shaped body. When defeated, Nightmare explodes, leaving a large crater in the moon, but Kirby manages to escape using a Warp Star. Nightmare is also the last boss in the [[Extra Game]] and [[Boss Endurance]] modes.

|'''[[King Dedede]]''' returns as a final boss in ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]''. The player must use the flippers to bounce Kirby into the king to deal damage. In the first phase of the fight, King Dedede is fought in the center of a dark room, with the spotlight on him. In this phase, his only attack involves temporarily disabling the flippers by throwing [[bomb (object)|bombs]] at them. After five hits, the room brightens up, and is revealed to be a boxing ring similar to the one in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. King Dedede starts using many more attacks, including [[hover]]ing to chase Kirby, using [[Super Dedede Jump]] to quickly move around the arena, and strangely even shooting lightning at the flippers to disable them. After 18 more hits, the king gets launched out of the arena, and runs away from all the [[enemy|enemies]] chasing after him.

Just in time, [[Meta Knight]] manages to throw [[Master|his sword]] into it, which Kirby swiftly [[GRAB IT!|grabs]]. Only then, the first form of [[Dark Mind]] reveals himself. This form has many different attacks involving shooting stars at Kirby, spinning around his mirrors, and dropping deadly bombs. This form is fought four different times, with each battle gaining new attacks and a different arena. After these battles, Kirby is taken to a new arena, with Dark Mind having transformed into a giant laser-shooting eyeball. Once this battle is also cleared, Dark Mind tries to flee, but Kirby uses his star-shooting [[Warp Star]] to take him down, which eventually makes the [[staff credits]] roll, allowing Kirby to keep shooting Dark Mind to gain as many points as he can. Dark Mind is also the final boss of [[Boss Endurance]], but only one battle per form takes place.
|After [[Dark Meta Knight]]'s defeat in the [[Dimension Mirror (level)|Dimension Mirror]], a portal opens up, and the [[Kirby (species)|Kirbys]] are sucked into it. Just in time, [[Meta Knight]] manages to throw [[Master|his sword]] into it, which Kirby swiftly [[GRAB IT!|grabs]]. Only then, the first form of '''[[Dark Mind]]''' reveals himself. This form has many different attacks involving shooting stars at Kirby, spinning around his mirrors, and dropping deadly bombs. This form is fought four different times, with each battle gaining new attacks and a different arena. After these battles, Kirby is taken to a new arena, with Dark Mind having transformed into a giant laser-shooting eyeball. Once this battle is also cleared, Dark Mind tries to flee, but Kirby uses his star-shooting [[Warp Star]] to take him down, which eventually makes the [[staff credits]] roll, allowing Kirby to keep shooting Dark Mind to gain as many points as he can. Dark Mind is also the final boss of [[Boss Endurance]], but only one battle per form takes place.

|[[File:KCC Drawcia Sorceress Boss.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Drawcia]]'''
|''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]''
|[[Story Mode]]
|After rolling his way through [[The World of Drawcia]], Kirby finally meets up with the witch who turned him into a [[Kirby Ball|ball]], that being '''[[Drawcia|Drawcia Sorceress]]'''. Drawcia mostly leaps and dives around the arena, summoning reflectable magical spheres and painting various enemies for Kirby to defeat, including the unique [[Para Sorceress]]es. After the sorceress's defeat, she morphs into a spherical ball of paint to become the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series']] first [[:Category:Soul bosses|Soul boss]]: '''[[Drawcia Soul]]'''. This ghostly creature's primary attack involves summoning [[Para Matter]]s, which the [[Magical Paintbrush]] will have to hit back at her. Similar to [[Marx]], she can use an aggressive variant of [[Shooter Cutter]], and often teleports around, during which she can be stunned by the Magical Paintbrush to let Kirby [[Touch Dash|dash]] into her. This boss also introduced the attacks [[Bound Pound]], [[Deadly Sun]], and [[Splash Rush]], which would all become staples for future Soul bosses.

|[[File:KSqS Gamble Galaxy - Boss 2.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Dark Nebula]]'''
|''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]''
|[[Story Mode]]<br>[[Extra Mode]]<br>[[Boss Endurance]]
|When [[Daroach]] finally gets his hands on the [[Treasure Chest]] and opens it up, he immediately regrets his decision, as he gets possessed by an ancient evil and turns into Dark Daroach. Following his defeat, he drops his [[Triple Star]] cane, and a small, dark star pops out of him and flies away from [[Kirby]]. Kirby grabs the cane and begins chasing the star through [[Gamble Galaxy - Stage 4|a short stage]] while avoiding enemies and boulders. Eventually, the star properly transforms into the boss '''[[Dark Nebula]]'''. This boss has three different forms it uses to attack Kirby: a fire form which can create a large pillar of flames and burn the floor, an ice form which can shoot a laser downward to freeze the floor, and an electric form which can shoot lightning to electrocute all borders of the arena. In all forms, Dark Nebula can also slowly move around and shoot stars at Kirby. This boss is also the last one confronted in [[Boss Endurance]].
|-
|[[File:KSSU The Revenge screenshot Masked Dedede.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Masked Dedede]]'''
|rowspan=4|''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''
|[[Revenge of the King]]
|Due to [[Revenge of the King]] following a very similar plot to [[Spring Breeze]], [[King Dedede]] once again appears as the main antagonist and final boss of the [[The Revenge|last stage]]. This time, the king has a brand new mechanical hammer and a power-amplifying mask, taking on the persona of '''[[Masked Dedede]]'''. The fight takes place in an arena similar to the one in Spring Breeze, but this one notably has an electrified fence above it, and the only audience member is [[Bandana Waddle Dee]]. [[Kirby]] is also [[GRAB IT!|offered]] a [[hammer]] before Masked Dedede jumps into the arena and the fight begins. Masked Dedede is naturally able to use [[Inhale]], [[Head Slide]], [[Hover]], [[Super Dedede Jump]], and regular hammer attacks, but can also use his new hammer to shoot out missiles and flames, as well as quickly spin around the arena, which Kirby will have to hover over while carefully avoiding the electricity. After his defeat, Dedede's mask breaks, and he is once again sent flying out of his castle.
|-
|[[File:KSSU Wham Bam Jewel Fight.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Wham Bam Jewel]]'''
|[[Helper to Hero]]
|In [[Helper to Hero]], [[Wham Bam Rock]] is seemingly the final boss the [[Helper]] will have to face. However, right after his defeat, a stronger version of the boss takes his place, the "Wham Bam king" '''[[Wham Bam Jewel]]'''. This boss has a very altered design from Wham Bam Rock, having hands made out of diamonds instead of rocks, wearing a crystal crown and golden earrings, and having three eyes. Other than this, Wham Bam Jewel uses largely the same attacks as Wham Bam Rock, with some minor differences. He can unlatch crystals from one of his hands to drop onto his enemies, drop [[bomb (object)|bombs]] from his hand which Kirby can inhale for the [[Bomb]] ability, and shoot blasts from his finger tips in a very similar fashion to [[Master Hand & Crazy Hand]].
|-
|[[File:KSSU True Arena Galacta Knight.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Galacta Knight]]'''
|[[Meta Knightmare Ultra]]
|[[Meta Knightmare Ultra]] follows [[Meta Knight]] going through most stages of ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. However, a major difference is that he does not fight [[Marx]] at the end. Instead, he summons [[Galactic Nova]] himself and wishes to fight the greatest warrior in the galaxy. Galactic Nova grants this wish and summons the powerful '''[[Galacta Knight]]'''. As his name implies, Galacta Knight is similar to Meta Knight in many ways, being a circular creature with a mask and wings, though Galacta Knight is almost constantly hovering over the ground. Galacta Knight has many attacks similar to Meta Knight, using his lance to perform slash attacks, shoot Crescent Shots, and thrust down when in midair, move around as a tornado similar to [[Mach Tornado]], create a large tornado that moves around the stage, and glide around while bouncing off the ground. Additionally, he is able to create shockwaves, summon pillars of fire, shoot a beam that rotates around the stage, and even summon clones of the [[Meta-Knights]].
|-
|[[File:KSSU Marx Soul fight 5.png|256px|]]<br>'''[[Marx Soul]]'''
|[[The True Arena]]
|At the very end of ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''{{'}}s [[The True Arena]], a [[cutscene]] shows [[Marx]] after his defeat in [[Milky Way Wishes]] absorbing a piece of [[Galactic Nova]]'s power and transforming into the zombified '''[[Marx Soul]]'''. Marx Soul can use harder variants of all of Marx's attacks, using [[Shooter Cutter]] twice in a row, growing six thicker vines during Seed Attack, and performing all of his attacks much faster. Marx Soul also has two attacks inspired by [[Drawcia Soul]]; [[Splash Rush|Splash Marx]] and [[Deadly Sun|Deadly Ball]]. The former attack's paint blobs can be swallowed for the [[Paint]] ability, but unlike in its other appearances, this ability is practically useless against Marx Soul, only dealing a tiny amount of damage. After his defeat, Marx Soul lets out a bloodcurdling screech, splitting in two before exploding.

|[[File:KEY Yin-Yarn fight 08.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Yin-Yarn]]'''
|''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]''<br>''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]''
|[[Story Mode]]
|While [[Kirby]] and [[Prince Fluff]] are venturing through yarn-ified [[Dream Land (Kirby's Epic Yarn)|Dream Land]], '''[[Yin-Yarn]]''' suddenly appears in the [[level hub]] to corrupt the whole place and escape into [[Yin-Yarn (boss stage)|his own boss stage]]. Yin-Yarn uses his knitting needles to create replicas of two bosses found earlier in the game, [[Fangora]] and [[Capamari]], to try to defeat Kirby and Fluff. After each of these rematches, Yin-Yarn summons a curtain to block the view, which Kirby and Fluff will have to escape by climbing up the stitched platforms. After this, Yin-Yarn summons various [[enemy|enemies]] which can be turned into [[yarn ball]]s to throw at Yin-Yarn. After enough hits, Yin-Yarn seems to be defeated, and Kirby and Prince Fluff obtain the last piece of [[Magic Yarn]], but before their [[Kirby Dance|dance]] could finish, it is revealed that Yin-Yarn is actually the pair of knitting needles, who swiftly create a new body for themselves known as Mega Yin-Yarn. Luckily, [[Meta Knight]] flies by to drop Kirby and Fluff a [[Metamortex]], allowing them to transform into the [[Tankbot]] to take down Mega Yin-Yarn. In ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]''{{'}}s [[Devilish Mode]], all three [[Devil]]s also appear during the fight.

|rowspan=2|''[[Kirby's Return To Dream Land]]''<br>''[[Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe]]
|[[Story Mode]]<br>[[The Arena]]
|After defeating [[Landia]], [[Magolor]] comes down from the sky, congratulating Kirby and his friends on their victory, before grabbing the [[Master Crown]] and using it to transform into '''[[Traitor Magolor]]''', revealing his evil intentions and leaving to take over [[Popstar]]. Luckily, Landia is still strong enough to carry Kirby and co. to chase after Magolor through [[Another Dimension (level)|Another Dimension]]. Magolor brings out the [[Lor & Magolor|Lor Starcutter]] to try to stop them, but it gets taken down, so Magolor shoots the heroes down to battle them directly. Magolor mostly uses Magic Sphere and Deadly Needles to attack, but can also create [[Black Hole]]s and summon [[Sphere Doomer]]s from [[dimensional rift]]s, and can even flip the camera upside down. After depleting his [[health]], Magolor creates a magic barrier to protect himself, but also summons enemies to attack Kirby and co. Unfortunately for him, some of these enemies give Kirby [[Super Ability|Super Abilities]], allowing Kirby to break the barrier using the [[Ultra Sword]] to slice through Magolor. However, this attack triggers the Master Crown to fully take over Magolor's body, transforming him into his '''[[Magolor (second form)|second form]]''', and quickly taking away Kirby's Ultra Sword. This form has the powers to dash through wormholes, create painful rifts in dimensions, and even use attacks based on Ultra Sword, [[Flare Beam]], and [[Monster Flame]]. Eventually, Kirby and his friends manage to defeat him, freeing Magolor from the Master Crown and escaping from the collapsing dimension on top of Landia. Both of these fights also appears as the final bosses of [[The Arena]], although the Super Ability phase is skipped.
|-
|[[File:KRtDLD Magolor Soul battle screenshot 01.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Magolor Soul]]'''
|[[Extra Mode]]<br>[[The True Arena]]
|In [[Extra Mode]] and [[The True Arena]], [[Magolor (second form)|Magolor's second form]] is replaced by a stronger version known '''[[Magolor Soul]]''', being fought after [[Traitor Magolor|Magolor EX]]. This boss has many souped up attacks, performing attacks much faster. He also has a new attack based on [[Grand Hammer]] and [[Snow Bowl]], known as Grand Snow Hammer, where he slams a hammer on the ground to freeze it and summon large icicles. In The True Arena in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', Magolor Soul gains a much harder fight. Starting off, Magolor Soul immediately shoots two giant lasers to cover almost the entire screen. He can also keep around Deadly Needles for much longer, create back to back dimensional rifts, and even summon two [[Black Hole]]s at the same time. After his health bar is depleted, Magolor Soul gets knocked away, drops a single [[apple]], and enters his new second phase by using brand new attacks based on the [[Sand]] and [[Mecha]] abilities introduced in the remake. For the rest of the fight, Magolor Soul uses many deadlier combinations of attacks, and also has a lot more health. An altered version of "[[Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD]]" from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' also replaced "[[C-R-O-W-N-E-D]]" in this fight.

|[[File:KTD Queen Sectonia second form battle 7.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Flowered Sectonia|Queen Sectonia]]'''
|rowspan=3|''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''
|[[Story Mode]]<br>[[The Arena]]
|After [[Taranza]] fails to stop [[Kirby]] from defeating his [[Masked Dedede|rival]], he calls '''[[Queen Sectonia]]''' for help, but she immediately blasts him away and introduces herself to Kirby before starting the battle. Sectonia has the ability to teleport, and primarily uses her magical staffs to shoot lightning at Kirby, and often transforms them into rapiers to attack Kirby. In her second phase, she summons a massive jewel and launches Kirby onto it, continuing to attack and summoning [[Antler]]s while Kirby must avoid [[bottomless pit|falling off]]. After being brought back to the main arena, Kirby defeats the queen, who in a last-ditch effort fuses with the [[Dreamstalk]] to transform into '''[[Flowered Sectonia]]''' and spread vines all across [[Popstar]], also encasing Kirby and [[King Dedede]]. Luckily, the [[People of the Sky]] bring them a [[cannon]], which Dedede uses to launch Kirby toward the flowered queen to take her down. Flowered Sectonia uses multiple eye stalks to shoot, slash, and launch at Kirby. Each time the stalks are taken down, Kirby is brought to another arena with fewer ground to stand on. After the queen's supposed to defeat, Kirby's celebration gets cut short when a vine grabs him. As he screams for help, Taranza and King Dedede appear to free him from Sectonia's grasp, and throw him into a [[Miracle Fruit]] to transform him into [[Hypernova]] Kirby. This powerfull puffball can suck up Sectonia's attacks and send them right back at her to break her defenses, and eventually inhales her giant laser beam and [[Fourth wall|health bar]], spitting out the former back in her direction to put her tow her [[Eternal Dreamland|eternal beauty sleep]]. Flowered Sectonia is also the final boss faced in [[The Arena]] of this game, although the fight ends before Hypernova is used.
|-
|[[File:KTD Dark Meta Knight battle 2.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Dark Meta Knight|Dark Meta Knight's Revenge]]'''
|[[Dededetour!]]
|After King Dedede defeats his own [[Shadow Dedede|shadowy counterpart]] near the end of [[Dededetour!]], the [[Dimension Mirror]] reappears yet again. King Dedede jumps into it and gets taken to the [[Mirror World]], where the shadow of the strongest warrior from ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' appears before him to take his revenge, under the title of '''[[Dark Meta Knight|Dark Meta Knight's Revenge]]'''. While still using many of [[Meta Knight]]'s attacks, the dark knight also gained some new attacks since his last appearance. His primary new attack is called Blade Burst, which involves him summoning giant [[Galaxia]]-shaped blades from the ground. At the start of his second phase, Dark Meta Knight hides himself in a piece of glass and creates two fake clones of himself, with all three attacking King Dedede at the same time. If the king hits a clone, it will shatter into glass that homes in on him. After a couple attacks, Dark Meta Knight fuses back into one to start attacking a lot more aggressively. After his defeat, Dark Meta Knight gets recaptured by the Dimension Mirror, which King Dedede swiftly destroys using his mighty hammer.
|-
|[[File:KTD Soul of Sectonia battle 3.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Soul of Sectonia]]'''
|[[The True Arena]]
|After defeating all prior bosses in [[The True Arena]], four of [[Flowered Sectonia]]'s eye stalks are shown consuming one [[Miracle Fruit]] each, transforming the queen into [[Soul of Sectonia]], supporting a new light-blue color scheme. Like previous [[:Category:Soul bosses|Soul bosses]], Soul of Sectonia performs all of her attacks much faster, almost always using multiple eye stalks at once to attack [[Kirby]]. A major difference is that Soul of Sectonia begins using four eye stalks in the third section of the fight, instead of the fourth. She also has a new attack called Vine bind where she shoots spiky vines at Kirby, and she can summon a new [[Antler]] variant known as Lord Antler. After her first health bar is drained, Sectonia seperates herself from the [[Dreamstalk]] and begins to rapidly fly and teleport across the arena. She also starts using many classic Soul boss attacks, including [[Shooter Cutter]], [[Splash Rush]], and a combination of [[Bound Pound]] and [[Deadly Sun]] called Deadly Bound Sun. Aside from these attacks, she uses even harder to avoid Vine Bind attacks, and summons many Antlers and laser beams. After her defeat, she explodes into pieces, leaving nothing but a single petal to float down before the sunrise.

|''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]''
|Single Player Mode
|At the end of ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]''{{'}}s Single Player Mode, Kirby appears at the [[Fountain of Dreams (Battle Stage)|Fountain of Dreams]] and comes across [[King Dedede]], wielding a new hammer. This Dedede quickly jumps away, before Kirby gets ambushed by a multitude of Mini Dededes collectively known as '''[[Team DDD]]'''. These clones can use many of King Dedede's iconic attacks, including Hammer, [[Head Slide]], and [[Super Dedede Jump]], but luckily, each one of them can be defeated in only a single hit. After all of them are taken down, the real King Dedede returns to the stage, with two orange-wearing Combo Dededes on his side to help him during the battle. If the two Combo Dededes are defeated, the real king gets angry and grows in size, beginning to attack way more aggressively, and can even scatter [[Keychain]]s across the screen to block the player's view. If the real Dedede is defeated first, the Combo Dededes will be blasted away along with him. Depending on the difficulty, Kirby will have to defeat either 24, 32, 47, or 64 total Dededes.

|[[Story Mode]]
|After [[Claycia]] is defeated, a pair of sunglasses falls off her, and [[Elline]] and Kirby [[Kirby Dance|celebrate]]. However, their celebration is once again cut short when the sunglasses manifest themselves into a cloud of paint called '''[[Dark Crafter]]''', who was the one possessing Claycia. While Elline is panicking, Claycia grabs a canvas, which Elline uses to [[Transformation (Kirby and the Rainbow Curse)|transform]] Kirby into [[Kirby Rocket]], who quickly chases after Dark Crafter. Dark Crafter fights back by tossing explosive projectiles at Kirby, which he will have to maneuver around using the [[Rainbow Line|Rainbow Rope]]. Kirby Rocket can use a [[Star Dash]] to ram into Dark Crafter multiple times. After each hit, Dark Crafter loses more of his color, slowly turning black. After only 3 hits, Dark Crafter is defeated, exploding into paint.

|[[File:KPR Star Dream battle 1.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Star Dream]]'''
|rowspan=3|''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''
|[[Story Mode]]<br>[[The Arena]]
|After being defeated by Kirby, [[President Haltmann]] puts on a helmet to control his Mother Computer, but before he could do anything, [[Susie]] steals the helmet, causing the Mother Computer to absorb Haltmann's conscience, and sets out on the goal to destroy all organic life in order to gain infinite prosperity. Realizing her mistake, Susie gives Kirby the [[Robobot Armor]], and right after, [[Meta Knight]] appears with the [[Halberd]], which Kirby quickly absorbs using the Robobot Armor to transform it into [[Halberd Mode]], flying into space to stop '''[[Star Dream]]'''. In its first phase, Star Dream can use many different attacks involving lasers, rockets, [[Invader Armor]]s, asteroids, giant [[Code Cube]]s, and a heart-shaped shield to try to defend itself. The Halberd can "[[inhale]]" many of these projectiles and spit them back out as [[Star Bullet]]s. After much damage, Star Dream leaves to fuse itself with the [[Access Ark]] to begin phase 2 of the fight. In this phase, it can summong [[Gigavolt]]s, form four legs to swipe at the Halberd, and summon the letters [[HAL Laboratory|L, A, and H]]. After each hit, a piece of the Access Ark falls breaks apart, eventually revealing what appears to be a [[Galactic Nova]]. In phase 3, this cat-like boss begins using many bizarre attacks, including trying to inhale the halberd, summoning giant objects originally seen on Galactic Nova, and counting down from 5 before using the very deadly "Fatal Error" attack. Eventually, Star Dream shoots a giant laser to take down the halberd, but Meta Knight quickly released Kirby and the Robobot Armor from it. Kirby uses the Robobot Armor's giant screw to drill through all of Star Dream's defenses, eventually drilling through the whole Access Ark to completely destroy it. Star Dream, minus the last phase, also appears at the end of [[The Arena]].
|-
|[[File:KPR Galacta Knight battle 1.png|256px]]<br>'''[[Galacta Knight|Galacta Knight Returns]]'''
|[[Meta Knightmare Returns]]
|[[Meta Knightmare Returns]] ends with a boss rush called "Sword_Master.EXE", given by Star Dream. [[Meta Knight]] must first defeat [[Dark Matter Clone]] and [[Sectonia Clone]], after which, Star Dream summons the legendary swordsman through a [[dimensional rift]]. The swordsman doesn't hesitate to immediately slash Star Dream in half, and once again battles Meta Knight under the fitting title of '''[[Galacta Knight|Galacta Knight Returns]]'''. Galacta Knight fights in largely the same way as in his appearance in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', with some differences. Galacta Knight can now jump during Spin Slash, uses his Glide Sword attack from the background, summons more sets of lightning bolts in a row during Rising Spine, summons tornadoes from the background, upgrades his Twelve Energy Shower into Twenty Energy Shower, and has a brand new attack where he slashes an unguardable rift through [[Another Dimension]]. Aside from all of that, Galacta Knight also has a lot more [[health]]. After his defeat, the white knight is once again sealed into his crystal and leaves through a dimensional rift.
|-
|[[File:KPR Star Dream Soul OS battle screenshot 04.jpg|256px]]<br>'''[[Star Dream Soul OS]]'''
|[[The True Arena]]
|Seemingly accidentally, Galacta Knight's slash in Meta Knightmare Returns activated Star Dream's "final program", transforming it into '''[[Star Dream Soul OS]]''', the final boss of [[The True Arena]]. Like all [[:Category:Soul bosses|Soul bosses]], Star Dream Soul OS's primary upgrade from its regular counterpart is its speed and quantity of attacks. Its first form also supports a new red and black color scheme, also featuring Galacta Knight's slash and seemingly dropping blood right before the fight. In the second phase, Star Dream Soul OS unexpectedly starts by using its [[Inhale|Install Hole]] attack. The color scheme of the third phase switched from silver to gold, making its appearance even closer to that of [[Galactic Nova]]. The order and quantity of objects it summons is much more difficult, and its Fatal Error is way harder to avoid getting defeated by. After the third phase is beaten, a similar [[cutscene]] as the one in [[Story Mode]] plays, but instead of creating a shield, Star Dream Soul OS inhales Kirby, taking him to a unique final phase. The first half of this phase is very similar to the fight with [[Galactic Nova Nucleus]], requiring Kirby to destroy 3 sets of of pillars, albeit without the [[Starship]]. When all are defeated, the heart-shaped object starts attacking Kirby in a similar fashion to previous Soul bosses, teleporting around and using [[Shooter Cutter]], splitting itself into a blue and pink orb similar to [[Marx Soul]]'s [[Deadly Sun|Deadly Ball]], raining [[Pata]]s, [[Dakuga]]s, and [[Bolum]]s similar to [[Splash Rush]], and blasting lasers. Uniquely, after its health bar reaches zero, Star Dream Soul OS uses a last-ditch series of three waves that can instantly defeat Kirby if he is not at practically full health. If Kirby manages to avoid the attack, the fight finally ends.

KDL Dedede artwork.png
Artwork of King Dedede, the first and most common final boss in the Kirby series.

A final boss (sometimes referred to as a last boss) is the term used to describe the last boss in a video game, or a mode within a game. The Kirby series is no stranger to this idea, with most games in the series utilizing bosses, and by extension final bosses. There are a couple things that set apart final bosses from regular bosses:

Often, Extra Modes also have their own final bosses, whether it be a complete unique boss or a variant of the Story Mode's final boss. On few occasions, the "true" final boss of a game's Story Mode can only be accessed once a certain milestone has been reached, with the penultimate boss of the game only being a final boss in the bad ending. Each of the many Boss Endurance modes found throughout the series naturally also has a final boss. In most Boss Endurance modes, such as The Arena, the final boss is a mostly unaltered version of the Story Mode's final boss, but tougher variants or difficulties, such as The True Arena, almost always have a unique final boss, most often being a Soul boss.

The following table lists every final boss in the Kirby series, in chronological order:

Final bosses in the Kirby series
Boss Game(s) Mode(s) Description
KDL Super Dedede Jump.png
King Dedede
Kirby's Dream Land Normal Game
Extra Game
King Dedede is the very first final boss in the series, being the main antagonist and final boss of Kirby's Dream Land. He can use his hammer, inhale, and Super Dedede Jump to battle Kirby in his castle atop Mt. Dedede. Kirby is able to attack back by inhaling the Dropped Stars left by some of his attacks, and spitting them back at him. After his defeat, the king gets launched out of his castle and Kirby collects the final Sparkling Star, using it to transform into a giant balloon to give back the stolen food to Dream Land's citizens. In Extra Game, King Dedede is also the final boss, and uses his attacks more aggressively.
KNiDL Nightmare battle.png
Nightmare
Kirby's Adventure
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
Normal Game
Extra Game
Boss Endurance
After Kirby defeats King Dedede once again, Kirby collects the last piece of the Star Rod and puts it back into the Fountain of Dreams while Dedede tries to stop him. At first, all seems well, until everything goes dark and an ominous orb appears and flies away. After a bit of panicking, King Dedede uses his inhale to launch Kirby and the Star Rod towards Nightmare's Power Orb, whom Kirby must defeat using the Star Rod while avoiding the stars being shot at him, and before falling back to the ground. Afterwards, Nightmare flies away to the moon and Kirby chases after him using his Warp Star. Nightmare then destroys the Warp Star and transforms into his Nightmare Wizard form, shooting more stars at Kirby to try to take him down. Kirby can use the Star Rod to attack Nightmare's weak spot, that being his tornado-shaped body. When defeated, Nightmare explodes, leaving a large crater in the moon, but Kirby manages to escape using a Warp Star. Nightmare is also the last boss in the Extra Game and Boss Endurance modes.
KPL Dedede.png
King Dedede
Kirby's Pinball Land Main Mode(?) King Dedede returns as a final boss in Kirby's Pinball Land. The player must use the flippers to bounce Kirby into the king to deal damage. In the first phase of the fight, King Dedede is fought in the center of a dark room, with the spotlight on him. In this phase, his only attack involves temporarily disabling the flippers by throwing bombs at them. After five hits, the room brightens up, and is revealed to be a boxing ring similar to the one in Kirby's Dream Land. King Dedede starts using many more attacks, including hovering to chase Kirby, using Super Dedede Jump to quickly move around the arena, and strangely even shooting lightning at the flippers to disable them. After 18 more hits, the king gets launched out of the arena, and runs away from all the enemies chasing after him.
KDC Robo Dedede.png
Robo Dedede
Kirby's Dream Course Single-player
Single-player Extra Game
Kirby's Dream Course only features one boss, known as Robo Dedede. It is a robotic version of King Dedede, piloted by the king himself. This boss is fought in its very own Course, which is the last Course of the game's single-player mode. Robo Dedede has the ability to summon smaller robots called Chibi Dededes to attack Kirby.
KDL2 Dedede Fight 2.png
King Dedede
Kirby's Dream Land 2 Story Mode In the last stage of Dark Castle, a possessed King Dedede appears as the final boss of the game if Kirby has not collected all Rainbow Drops, resulting in a bad ending. Otherwise, King Dedede is the second to last boss.
KDL2 Dark Matter Fight 1.png
Dark Matter
Story Mode
BOSS
If Kirby managed to collect every Rainbow Drop, he will duel the real villain, Dark Matter Blade, using his newly acquired Rainbow Sword to reflect his attacks. After defeating the swordsman, Dark Matter will reveal his true form, transforming into a large eyeball known as Real Dark Matter. During this phase, Kirby will slowly fall down to the ground, and if he does not defeat Real Dark Matter fast enough, he will lose a life because of it. Dark Matter is also the final opponent Kirby will face in this game's Boss Endurance mode.
KBBa Brobo.png
Brobo
Kirby's Block Ball Main Mode(?) If Kirby was unable to get the Border Line score in every previous stage, Stage 10 will be the last stage on his journey, resulting in a bad ending. This stage features the unique boss Brobo. (Maybe some more stuff here.)
KBBa Stage 11 Round 7 screenshot.png
King Dedede
King Dedede is the true final boss of the game, appearing in Stage 11. Kirby must defeat him to collect the Sparkling Stars and save the day. (Maybe some more more stuff here.)
KSSU Mt Dedede Boss Fight.png
King Dedede
Kirby Super Star
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Spring Breeze Due to Spring Breeze following essentially the same plot as Kirby's Dream Land, King Dedede naturally reappears as the final boss of this mode, again being fought on Mt. Dedede and using many of the same attacks to try to defeat Kirby. This time, however, Kirby has the ability to use Copy Abilities and summon Helpers to take down the king more easily.
KSSU Dyna Blade Fight.png
Dyna Blade
Dyna Blade Dyna Blade is the only boss Kirby will have to face in the last stage of the titular mode, Dyna Blade's Nest. This giant bird is able to fly across the stage, breathe out fire, and grab Kirby using her claws and beak. After her defeat, it is revealed that the reason for her havoc was that she was simply trying to feed her chicks.
KSSU Wham Bam Rock Fight.png
Wham Bam Rock
The Great Cave Offensive Wham Bam Rock is an enormous boss that Kirby will have to battle at the end of The Great Cave Offensive. This creature always hides in the background, and his attacks consist of using his large rocky hands to try to smash, punch, and grab Kirby, drop rocks from the ceiling, and shoot projectiles out of his fingers.

Meta Knight
Revenge of Meta Knight Though originally introduced as a regular boss in Kirby's Adventure, Meta Knight reappears as the main antagonist and final boss of Revenge of Meta Knight. Meta Knight's battle takes place in Chapter 7 of the mode. Like in Kirby's Adventure, he offers Kirby a sword, but this time, Kirby is able to deny the offer. Meta Knight now has the additional ability to summon tornadoes. After the swordsman's defeat, Kirby rushes to leave the crashing Halberd using Wheelie Rider, but Meta Knight flies after Kirby in an attempt to stop him from fleeing.

King Dedede
Kirby's Dream Land 3 Story Mode In the same fashion as Kirby's Dream Land 2, King Dedede, possessed by Dark Matter, is once again the final boss in the bad ending, which happens if Kirby did not collect every Heart Star. However, this battle has a second phase where Dedede's stomach turns into a big mouth that tries to eat Kirby and shoot orbs at him. The battle takes place in Stage 7 of Iceberg, atop Castle Dedede.

Boss Butch
If all Heart Stars were obtained, they assemble into the Love-Love Stick, and the last level of the game, Hyper Zone, is unlocked. In this level, Kirby will first have to rematch Real Dark Matter using the Love-Love Stick, while optionally getting help from Gooey using Mock Matter. After Dark Matter's defeat, the final boss reveals itself: Zero. This giant eyeball is able to summon miniature replicas of Dark Matter and even shoot blood from its body. After its first health bar is depleted, Zero's center rips out from the rest of its body and tries to chase after Kirby in a last-ditch effort. This is also the last fight in Boss Butch.

Miracle Matter
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards Story Mode Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards once again features a bad ending. In this game, the final boss of this ending is Miracle Matter, who appears in Stage 4 of Ripple Star. This boss has seven different forms based on all of Kirby's Copy Abilities in the game, including Bomb, Burn, Cutter, Ice, Needle, Spark, and Stone, with each one having its own attack. Miracle Matter can only be damaged by the Copy Ability or Star Bullet corresponding to its current form.

If Kirby and his friends collected all Crystal Shards to avoid the bad ending, the final level of the game will be unlocked: Dark Star. After a short platforming stage with help from their friends, Kirby and Ribbon reach , the true final boss of the game. Together, they use the Ribbon's Crystal ability to take down this angelic eyeball by attacking its eye and halo to reveal a spiny green tail, which can be attacked to deal damage. The duo can also destroy 0²'s wings to make it much slower, but 0² can fight back by shooting blood out of its eye and green gas out of its tail. This boss is also the final opponent in the Boss Battles mode.

Extra Game
King Dedede reprises his final boss role in Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble, being faced in Lvl 8-4 of the game. Right before the battle starts, the king grabs a star piece to become invincible, but this can be knocked out of him by using the nearby cannon to shoot Kirby at him while he's recovering from a charge attack. Other than that attack, Dedede can also swing and throw his hammer at Kirby and use his inhale attack. In Extra Game, the wall behind King Dedede is lined with spikes, making the cannon a lot more dangerous to use.

King Dedede
Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land Meta Knightmare Since the battle with Nightmare is skipped in Meta Knightmare, King Dedede appears as the final boss instead, battling Meta Knight in Stage 7 of Rainbow Resort. King Dedede's fight is identical to the one in Story Mode, using the same attacks as in Kirby's Dream Land but with an added hover.

Dark Mind
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Story Mode
Boss Endurance
After Dark Meta Knight's defeat in the Dimension Mirror, a portal opens up, and the Kirbys are sucked into it. Just in time, Meta Knight manages to throw his sword into it, which Kirby swiftly grabs. Only then, the first form of Dark Mind reveals himself. This form has many different attacks involving shooting stars at Kirby, spinning around his mirrors, and dropping deadly bombs. This form is fought four different times, with each battle gaining new attacks and a different arena. After these battles, Kirby is taken to a new arena, with Dark Mind having transformed into a giant laser-shooting eyeball. Once this battle is also cleared, Dark Mind tries to flee, but Kirby uses his star-shooting Warp Star to take him down, which eventually makes the staff credits roll, allowing Kirby to keep shooting Dark Mind to gain as many points as he can. Dark Mind is also the final boss of Boss Endurance, but only one battle per form takes place.
KCC Drawcia Sorceress Boss.png
Drawcia
Kirby: Canvas Curse Story Mode After rolling his way through The World of Drawcia, Kirby finally meets up with the witch who turned him into a ball, that being Drawcia Sorceress. Drawcia mostly leaps and dives around the arena, summoning reflectable magical spheres and painting various enemies for Kirby to defeat, including the unique Para Sorceresses. After the sorceress's defeat, she morphs into a spherical ball of paint to become the Kirby series' first Soul boss: Drawcia Soul. This ghostly creature's primary attack involves summoning Para Matters, which the Magical Paintbrush will have to hit back at her. Similar to Marx, she can use an aggressive variant of Shooter Cutter, and often teleports around, during which she can be stunned by the Magical Paintbrush to let Kirby dash into her. This boss also introduced the attacks Bound Pound, Deadly Sun, and Splash Rush, which would all become staples for future Soul bosses.

Boss Endurance
When Daroach finally gets his hands on the Treasure Chest and opens it up, he immediately regrets his decision, as he gets possessed by an ancient evil and turns into Dark Daroach. Following his defeat, he drops his Triple Star cane, and a small, dark star pops out of him and flies away from Kirby. Kirby grabs the cane and begins chasing the star through a short stage while avoiding enemies and boulders. Eventually, the star properly transforms into the boss Dark Nebula. This boss has three different forms it uses to attack Kirby: a fire form which can create a large pillar of flames and burn the floor, an ice form which can shoot a laser downward to freeze the floor, and an electric form which can shoot lightning to electrocute all borders of the arena. In all forms, Dark Nebula can also slowly move around and shoot stars at Kirby. This boss is also the last one confronted in Boss Endurance.
KSSU The Revenge screenshot Masked Dedede.png
Masked Dedede
Kirby Super Star Ultra Revenge of the King Due to Revenge of the King following a very similar plot to Spring Breeze, King Dedede once again appears as the main antagonist and final boss of the last stage. This time, the king has a brand new mechanical hammer and a power-amplifying mask, taking on the persona of Masked Dedede. The fight takes place in an arena similar to the one in Spring Breeze, but this one notably has an electrified fence above it, and the only audience member is Bandana Waddle Dee. Kirby is also offered a hammer before Masked Dedede jumps into the arena and the fight begins. Masked Dedede is naturally able to use Inhale, Head Slide, Hover, Super Dedede Jump, and regular hammer attacks, but can also use his new hammer to shoot out missiles and flames, as well as quickly spin around the arena, which Kirby will have to hover over while carefully avoiding the electricity. After his defeat, Dedede's mask breaks, and he is once again sent flying out of his castle.
KSSU Wham Bam Jewel Fight.png
Wham Bam Jewel
Helper to Hero In Helper to Hero, Wham Bam Rock is seemingly the final boss the Helper will have to face. However, right after his defeat, a stronger version of the boss takes his place, the "Wham Bam king" Wham Bam Jewel. This boss has a very altered design from Wham Bam Rock, having hands made out of diamonds instead of rocks, wearing a crystal crown and golden earrings, and having three eyes. Other than this, Wham Bam Jewel uses largely the same attacks as Wham Bam Rock, with some minor differences. He can unlatch crystals from one of his hands to drop onto his enemies, drop bombs from his hand which Kirby can inhale for the Bomb ability, and shoot blasts from his finger tips in a very similar fashion to Master Hand & Crazy Hand.
KSSU True Arena Galacta Knight.png
Galacta Knight
Meta Knightmare Ultra Meta Knightmare Ultra follows Meta Knight going through most stages of Kirby Super Star. However, a major difference is that he does not fight Marx at the end. Instead, he summons Galactic Nova himself and wishes to fight the greatest warrior in the galaxy. Galactic Nova grants this wish and summons the powerful Galacta Knight. As his name implies, Galacta Knight is similar to Meta Knight in many ways, being a circular creature with a mask and wings, though Galacta Knight is almost constantly hovering over the ground. Galacta Knight has many attacks similar to Meta Knight, using his lance to perform slash attacks, shoot Crescent Shots, and thrust down when in midair, move around as a tornado similar to Mach Tornado, create a large tornado that moves around the stage, and glide around while bouncing off the ground. Additionally, he is able to create shockwaves, summon pillars of fire, shoot a beam that rotates around the stage, and even summon clones of the Meta-Knights.
KSSU Marx Soul fight 5.png
Marx Soul
The True Arena At the very end of Kirby Super Star Ultra's The True Arena, a cutscene shows Marx after his defeat in Milky Way Wishes absorbing a piece of Galactic Nova's power and transforming into the zombified Marx Soul. Marx Soul can use harder variants of all of Marx's attacks, using Shooter Cutter twice in a row, growing six thicker vines during Seed Attack, and performing all of his attacks much faster. Marx Soul also has two attacks inspired by Drawcia Soul; Splash Marx and Deadly Ball. The former attack's paint blobs can be swallowed for the Paint ability, but unlike in its other appearances, this ability is practically useless against Marx Soul, only dealing a tiny amount of damage. After his defeat, Marx Soul lets out a bloodcurdling screech, splitting in two before exploding.
KEY Yin-Yarn fight 08.png
Yin-Yarn
Kirby's Epic Yarn
Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn
Story Mode While Kirby and Prince Fluff are venturing through yarn-ified Dream Land, Yin-Yarn suddenly appears in the level hub to corrupt the whole place and escape into his own boss stage. Yin-Yarn uses his knitting needles to create replicas of two bosses found earlier in the game, Fangora and Capamari, to try to defeat Kirby and Fluff. After each of these rematches, Yin-Yarn summons a curtain to block the view, which Kirby and Fluff will have to escape by climbing up the stitched platforms. After this, Yin-Yarn summons various enemies which can be turned into yarn balls to throw at Yin-Yarn. After enough hits, Yin-Yarn seems to be defeated, and Kirby and Prince Fluff obtain the last piece of Magic Yarn, but before their dance could finish, it is revealed that Yin-Yarn is actually the pair of knitting needles, who swiftly create a new body for themselves known as Mega Yin-Yarn. Luckily, Meta Knight flies by to drop Kirby and Fluff a Metamortex, allowing them to transform into the Tankbot to take down Mega Yin-Yarn. In Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn's Devilish Mode, all three Devils also appear during the fight.

Story Mode
The Arena
After defeating Landia, Magolor comes down from the sky, congratulating Kirby and his friends on their victory, before grabbing the Master Crown and using it to transform into Traitor Magolor, revealing his evil intentions and leaving to take over Popstar. Luckily, Landia is still strong enough to carry Kirby and co. to chase after Magolor through Another Dimension. Magolor brings out the Lor Starcutter to try to stop them, but it gets taken down, so Magolor shoots the heroes down to battle them directly. Magolor mostly uses Magic Sphere and Deadly Needles to attack, but can also create Black Holes and summon Sphere Doomers from dimensional rifts, and can even flip the camera upside down. After depleting his health, Magolor creates a magic barrier to protect himself, but also summons enemies to attack Kirby and co. Unfortunately for him, some of these enemies give Kirby Super Abilities, allowing Kirby to break the barrier using the Ultra Sword to slice through Magolor. However, this attack triggers the Master Crown to fully take over Magolor's body, transforming him into his second form, and quickly taking away Kirby's Ultra Sword. This form has the powers to dash through wormholes, create painful rifts in dimensions, and even use attacks based on Ultra Sword, Flare Beam, and Monster Flame. Eventually, Kirby and his friends manage to defeat him, freeing Magolor from the Master Crown and escaping from the collapsing dimension on top of Landia. Both of these fights also appears as the final bosses of The Arena, although the Super Ability phase is skipped.

Magolor Soul
Extra Mode
The True Arena
In Extra Mode and The True Arena, Magolor's second form is replaced by a stronger version known Magolor Soul, being fought after Magolor EX. This boss has many souped up attacks, performing attacks much faster. He also has a new attack based on Grand Hammer and Snow Bowl, known as Grand Snow Hammer, where he slams a hammer on the ground to freeze it and summon large icicles. In The True Arena in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Magolor Soul gains a much harder fight. Starting off, Magolor Soul immediately shoots two giant lasers to cover almost the entire screen. He can also keep around Deadly Needles for much longer, create back to back dimensional rifts, and even summon two Black Holes at the same time. After his health bar is depleted, Magolor Soul gets knocked away, drops a single apple, and enters his new second phase by using brand new attacks based on the Sand and Mecha abilities introduced in the remake. For the rest of the fight, Magolor Soul uses many deadlier combinations of attacks, and also has a lot more health. An altered version of "Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD" from Kirby Star Allies also replaced "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" in this fight.
KTD Queen Sectonia second form battle 7.png
Queen Sectonia
Kirby: Triple Deluxe Story Mode
The Arena
After Taranza fails to stop Kirby from defeating his rival, he calls Queen Sectonia for help, but she immediately blasts him away and introduces herself to Kirby before starting the battle. Sectonia has the ability to teleport, and primarily uses her magical staffs to shoot lightning at Kirby, and often transforms them into rapiers to attack Kirby. In her second phase, she summons a massive jewel and launches Kirby onto it, continuing to attack and summoning Antlers while Kirby must avoid falling off. After being brought back to the main arena, Kirby defeats the queen, who in a last-ditch effort fuses with the Dreamstalk to transform into Flowered Sectonia and spread vines all across Popstar, also encasing Kirby and King Dedede. Luckily, the People of the Sky bring them a cannon, which Dedede uses to launch Kirby toward the flowered queen to take her down. Flowered Sectonia uses multiple eye stalks to shoot, slash, and launch at Kirby. Each time the stalks are taken down, Kirby is brought to another arena with fewer ground to stand on. After the queen's supposed to defeat, Kirby's celebration gets cut short when a vine grabs him. As he screams for help, Taranza and King Dedede appear to free him from Sectonia's grasp, and throw him into a Miracle Fruit to transform him into Hypernova Kirby. This powerfull puffball can suck up Sectonia's attacks and send them right back at her to break her defenses, and eventually inhales her giant laser beam and health bar, spitting out the former back in her direction to put her tow her eternal beauty sleep. Flowered Sectonia is also the final boss faced in The Arena of this game, although the fight ends before Hypernova is used.
KTD Dark Meta Knight battle 2.png
Dark Meta Knight's Revenge
Dededetour! After King Dedede defeats his own shadowy counterpart near the end of Dededetour!, the Dimension Mirror reappears yet again. King Dedede jumps into it and gets taken to the Mirror World, where the shadow of the strongest warrior from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror appears before him to take his revenge, under the title of Dark Meta Knight's Revenge. While still using many of Meta Knight's attacks, the dark knight also gained some new attacks since his last appearance. His primary new attack is called Blade Burst, which involves him summoning giant Galaxia-shaped blades from the ground. At the start of his second phase, Dark Meta Knight hides himself in a piece of glass and creates two fake clones of himself, with all three attacking King Dedede at the same time. If the king hits a clone, it will shatter into glass that homes in on him. After a couple attacks, Dark Meta Knight fuses back into one to start attacking a lot more aggressively. After his defeat, Dark Meta Knight gets recaptured by the Dimension Mirror, which King Dedede swiftly destroys using his mighty hammer.
KTD Soul of Sectonia battle 3.png
Soul of Sectonia
The True Arena After defeating all prior bosses in The True Arena, four of Flowered Sectonia's eye stalks are shown consuming one Miracle Fruit each, transforming the queen into Soul of Sectonia, supporting a new light-blue color scheme. Like previous Soul bosses, Soul of Sectonia performs all of her attacks much faster, almost always using multiple eye stalks at once to attack Kirby. A major difference is that Soul of Sectonia begins using four eye stalks in the third section of the fight, instead of the fourth. She also has a new attack called Vine bind where she shoots spiky vines at Kirby, and she can summon a new Antler variant known as Lord Antler. After her first health bar is drained, Sectonia seperates herself from the Dreamstalk and begins to rapidly fly and teleport across the arena. She also starts using many classic Soul boss attacks, including Shooter Cutter, Splash Rush, and a combination of Bound Pound and Deadly Sun called Deadly Bound Sun. Aside from these attacks, she uses even harder to avoid Vine Bind attacks, and summons many Antlers and laser beams. After her defeat, she explodes into pieces, leaving nothing but a single petal to float down before the sunrise.
KFD Team DDD battle screenshot 1.png
Team DDD
Kirby Fighters Deluxe Single Player Mode At the end of Kirby Fighters Deluxe's Single Player Mode, Kirby appears at the Fountain of Dreams and comes across King Dedede, wielding a new hammer. This Dedede quickly jumps away, before Kirby gets ambushed by a multitude of Mini Dededes collectively known as Team DDD. These clones can use many of King Dedede's iconic attacks, including Hammer, Head Slide, and Super Dedede Jump, but luckily, each one of them can be defeated in only a single hit. After all of them are taken down, the real King Dedede returns to the stage, with two orange-wearing Combo Dededes on his side to help him during the battle. If the two Combo Dededes are defeated, the real king gets angry and grows in size, beginning to attack way more aggressively, and can even scatter Keychains across the screen to block the player's view. If the real Dedede is defeated first, the Combo Dededes will be blasted away along with him. Depending on the difficulty, Kirby will have to defeat either 24, 32, 47, or 64 total Dededes.
KatRC The Final Battle Dark Crafter fight screenshot 02.png
Dark Crafter
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse Story Mode After Claycia is defeated, a pair of sunglasses falls off her, and Elline and Kirby celebrate. However, their celebration is once again cut short when the sunglasses manifest themselves into a cloud of paint called Dark Crafter, who was the one possessing Claycia. While Elline is panicking, Claycia grabs a canvas, which Elline uses to transform Kirby into Kirby Rocket, who quickly chases after Dark Crafter. Dark Crafter fights back by tossing explosive projectiles at Kirby, which he will have to maneuver around using the Rainbow Rope. Kirby Rocket can use a Star Dash to ram into Dark Crafter multiple times. After each hit, Dark Crafter loses more of his color, slowly turning black. After only 3 hits, Dark Crafter is defeated, exploding into paint.
KPR Star Dream battle 1.png
Star Dream
Kirby: Planet Robobot Story Mode
The Arena
After being defeated by Kirby, President Haltmann puts on a helmet to control his Mother Computer, but before he could do anything, Susie steals the helmet, causing the Mother Computer to absorb Haltmann's conscience, and sets out on the goal to destroy all organic life in order to gain infinite prosperity. Realizing her mistake, Susie gives Kirby the Robobot Armor, and right after, Meta Knight appears with the Halberd, which Kirby quickly absorbs using the Robobot Armor to transform it into Halberd Mode, flying into space to stop Star Dream. In its first phase, Star Dream can use many different attacks involving lasers, rockets, Invader Armors, asteroids, giant Code Cubes, and a heart-shaped shield to try to defend itself. The Halberd can "inhale" many of these projectiles and spit them back out as Star Bullets. After much damage, Star Dream leaves to fuse itself with the Access Ark to begin phase 2 of the fight. In this phase, it can summong Gigavolts, form four legs to swipe at the Halberd, and summon the letters L, A, and H. After each hit, a piece of the Access Ark falls breaks apart, eventually revealing what appears to be a Galactic Nova. In phase 3, this cat-like boss begins using many bizarre attacks, including trying to inhale the halberd, summoning giant objects originally seen on Galactic Nova, and counting down from 5 before using the very deadly "Fatal Error" attack. Eventually, Star Dream shoots a giant laser to take down the halberd, but Meta Knight quickly released Kirby and the Robobot Armor from it. Kirby uses the Robobot Armor's giant screw to drill through all of Star Dream's defenses, eventually drilling through the whole Access Ark to completely destroy it. Star Dream, minus the last phase, also appears at the end of The Arena.
KPR Galacta Knight battle 1.png
Galacta Knight Returns
Meta Knightmare Returns Meta Knightmare Returns ends with a boss rush called "Sword_Master.EXE", given by Star Dream. Meta Knight must first defeat Dark Matter Clone and Sectonia Clone, after which, Star Dream summons the legendary swordsman through a dimensional rift. The swordsman doesn't hesitate to immediately slash Star Dream in half, and once again battles Meta Knight under the fitting title of Galacta Knight Returns. Galacta Knight fights in largely the same way as in his appearance in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, with some differences. Galacta Knight can now jump during Spin Slash, uses his Glide Sword attack from the background, summons more sets of lightning bolts in a row during Rising Spine, summons tornadoes from the background, upgrades his Twelve Energy Shower into Twenty Energy Shower, and has a brand new attack where he slashes an unguardable rift through Another Dimension. Aside from all of that, Galacta Knight also has a lot more health. After his defeat, the white knight is once again sealed into his crystal and leaves through a dimensional rift.
KPR Star Dream Soul OS battle screenshot 04.jpg
Star Dream Soul OS
The True Arena Seemingly accidentally, Galacta Knight's slash in Meta Knightmare Returns activated Star Dream's "final program", transforming it into Star Dream Soul OS, the final boss of The True Arena. Like all Soul bosses, Star Dream Soul OS's primary upgrade from its regular counterpart is its speed and quantity of attacks. Its first form also supports a new red and black color scheme, also featuring Galacta Knight's slash and seemingly dropping blood right before the fight. In the second phase, Star Dream Soul OS unexpectedly starts by using its Install Hole attack. The color scheme of the third phase switched from silver to gold, making its appearance even closer to that of Galactic Nova. The order and quantity of objects it summons is much more difficult, and its Fatal Error is way harder to avoid getting defeated by. After the third phase is beaten, a similar cutscene as the one in Story Mode plays, but instead of creating a shield, Star Dream Soul OS inhales Kirby, taking him to a unique final phase. The first half of this phase is very similar to the fight with Galactic Nova Nucleus, requiring Kirby to destroy 3 sets of of pillars, albeit without the Starship. When all are defeated, the heart-shaped object starts attacking Kirby in a similar fashion to previous Soul bosses, teleporting around and using Shooter Cutter, splitting itself into a blue and pink orb similar to Marx Soul's Deadly Ball, raining Patas, Dakugas, and Bolums similar to Splash Rush, and blasting lasers. Uniquely, after its health bar reaches zero, Star Dream Soul OS uses a last-ditch series of three waves that can instantly defeat Kirby if he is not at practically full health. If Kirby manages to avoid the attack, the fight finally ends.
