Final boss

This article or section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible. Reason: I had an intrusive thought to make this and now we're here. Please help.

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 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 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.

List of final bosses

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
King Dedede	Kirby's Dream Land	Normal Game Extra Game	King Dedede acts as the first final boss in the series, using 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. In Extra Game, King Dedede uses his attacks more aggressively.
Nightmare	Kirby's Adventure Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land	Normal Game Extra Game Boss Endurance	After Kirby defeats King Dedede once again, 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.
King Dedede	Kirby's Pinball Land	Main Mode(?)	King Dedede returns as a final boss, more stuff here.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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, using 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.
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.
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.
Marx		Milky Way Wishes The Arena	After Marx tricks Kirby into summoning Galactic Nova in Milky Way Wishes, the jester reveals his true form, and Kirby has to chase after him to stop him from taking control of Popstar. Marx has the abilities to teleport, shoot deadly boomerangs, summon Black Holes, and much more. After his defeat, Marx gets launched into Galactic Nova, which promptly explodes. Marx is also the last opponent faced in The Arena.
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.
Zero		Story Mode 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.
0²		Story Mode Boss Battles	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 0², 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.
King Dedede	Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble	Story 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.
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.
