The Dimension Mirror[1] is a powerful artifact found in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, and also makes an appearance in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. There are two similar Dimension Mirrors; one acts as a gateway between the Mirror World and Dream Land, and the other is located within the Central Circle of Rainbow Route. The mirror is adorned with a luxurious golden frame with wing and crown insignia.
In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, the Mirror World is corrupted by Dark Mind, and subsequently the mirrors can only reflect bad things. When Meta Knight flies up to help, he is sealed within the mirror in the Central Circle by his dark mirror copy - Dark Meta Knight - who then shatters the mirror into eight shards and scatters them throughout the Mirror World. It is up to Kirby and his recently-created clones to obtain the shards and restore the mirror so they can face down Dark Mind and save the Mirror World.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]
- Main article: Dimension Mirror (level)
The Dimension Mirror is the tenth and final level in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. It is unlocked when Kirby collects all of the Mirror Shards from defeating the Bosses in each level of the game. When all the shards have been collected, the mirror-shaped portal, which was deactivated when Dark Meta Knight split the mirror into shards, will turn gold once again. At this point, the Central Circle's Dimension Mirror has been restored, allowing the four Kirbys to face Dark Meta Knight and vanquish Dark Mind. This area only contains the Dark Meta Knight and Dark Mind fights, as well as some regular rooms in between, which themselves contain copies of the Dimension Mirror.
Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]
At the end of Dededetour!, King Dedede encounters the Dimension Mirror after defeating Queen Sectonia DX. Out of the mirror comes a dark reflection of himself known as Shadow Dedede which he must fight. Upon Shadow Dedede's defeat, the genuine Dedede jumps into the mirror to find the same eerie area featured in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. Here, he must face down against Dark Meta Knight's Revenge, who was sealed within the mirror inside the Mirror World. After defeating him, Dedede reseals him into the mirror and then smashes it to pieces, completing the game.
It is revealed through Miiverse posts that, prior to the events of Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Taranza had obtained the mirror and brought it to Queen Sectonia as a gift. Unaware of the mirror's dark power, the queen stared into it continuously, growing more and more mentally warped until she became the mad tyrant seen in the game proper.
The mirror has been subtly redesigned for this game, with its most noticeable difference being a more elaborate frame along its top and bottom borders, as well as larger decorative stars. The redesign gives the mirror a subtle resemblance to Queen Sectonia's crown and antennae.
The Dimension Mirror also appears as a rare Keychain, which can be collected in Wild World - Stage 2.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse[edit]
In this game, the Dimension Mirror appears as an icon in the Music Room that represents the Kirby & The Amazing Mirror music tracks.
Kirby Star Allies[edit]

Trivia[edit]
- A similar object appears in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe called the Black Mirror, which links to another dimension.
