History Fridge / KirbyMassAttack

* FridgeBrilliance:

** Why do the Kirbys suddenly need air underwater? They don't wear scuba gear underwater, unlike in the main Kirby games when he is seen wearing one.
** Unused sprites of King Dedede showed that he was at one point intended to be a playable character in the sub-game Strato Patrol EOS, but this idea was scrapped. This is most likely done because, by far, this game seems to contain the most references to ''Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa'', bringing back a few anime-exclusive songs and characters like Escargoon, the NME Salesguy, Kabuki Kirby, and even Max Flexer. The king's malicious personality from the anime may serve as a serious factor as to why his sprites were DummiedOut. Maybe they just want him to keep up appearances...
* FridgeHorror:
** In this game, Kirby dies. A lot. And being split into ten Kirbys, he also gets to ''watch himself die'' repeatedly, sometimes in quite gruesome ways. Imagine watching yourself get crushed, incinerated, mangled by machinery, eaten by monsters...the list goes on, and it just keeps happening, again and again. This could be the darkest game in the entire series. This doubles as TearJerker when you're brought to the GameOver screen if [[TotalPartyKill your whole Kirby platoon gets wiped out by a boss]].
* FridgeLogic:

** Okay, so the Kirbys now suddenly need air to stay underwater for extended periods of time. Understandable enough. But how is it they don't have the same air-problem when they're in Space? It ''is'' a problem harder to solve, but still. Daroach even [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it in one of his general tips in Volcano Valley-
-->'''Daroach:''' If there's no air in Space, how is it that YOU can breathe?
** For the same reason VideoGame/SuperMarioGalaxy's ability to travel in space unaided doesn't extend to underwater either?
** King Dedede is antagonistic to Kirby in this game, but he has pictures of him all over his resort for some reason.
*** You know how Dedede often gets brainwashed by the BigBad [[MonsterOfTheWeek Of The Week]]? Who's to say that Necrodeus didn't brainwash Dedede? This does causes some FridgeHorror that Necrodeus would [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness kill Dedede]] once the Kirbies and the Squeaks were gone.
** Big question here: where was Meta Knight during the whole ordeal? Surely a guy who directly wants to plunge the whole world into darkness would attract Meta Knight's attention.

** Why do the Kirbys suddenly need air underwater? Due to being split up and weakened, they simply lost the power to breathe underwater, just like how they lost the power to copy opponents' abilities and fly.

** That, and they're too small to wear his snorkel mask.
*** [[FridgeLogic Except that]] not only is a snorkel's useless if its tube doesn't extend above the water's surface, but also the fact that Kirby could breathe underwater just fine without the mask he usually wears in the earlier games. He only seems to wear it to protect his eyes.

*** Mario ''wasn't'' unaided, he had the Luma with him. As for Kirby, he goes into space a ''lot''. Perhaps [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace Star Warriors Can Breathe In Space]]?

* FridgeBrilliance:
** Why do the Kirbys suddenly need air underwater? The Kirbys can't fit snorkels and goggles on their new tiny bodies.
*** Or due to being split up and weakened, they simply lost the power to breath underwater, just as how they lost the power to copy.
*** Snorkels and goggles don't let you breathe underwater, unless the snorkel is sticking out of the water.
* FridgeLogic:
** Okay, so the Kirby's need air to stay underwater for extended periods of time. Understandable enough I suppose. But how is it they don't have the same air-problem in space? I realize it's a problem harder to solve but still...
