History YMMV / KirbyRevengeOfDreamLand

* BreatherBoss: The first encounter with King Doo is far easier to deal with compared to the mid-bosses you've fought up to this point. Unlike Gigant Edge, Bonkers or any of the Sphere Doomers, King Doo lacks their LightningBruiser status and their own attacks can be easily outmaneuvered with the help of copy abilities. Even if King Doo does manage to hit you, you're far less likely to get stun locked or trapped in a corner because they also happen to be rather slow, allowing you to outpace them.

** Kirby eating Flappy.[[labelnote:explanation]]One particular commenter on Shay's videos wanted a video of Kirby eating Flappy. This ended up becoming a minor joke in the Revenge of Dreamland Discord server, and was even acknowledged in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrMJtOlKHlc Kirby: Revenge of Dream Land - h]] at the end of the video.[[/labelnote]]
* NintendoHard: The mod started out as a NintendoHard version of ''VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand'' before ultimately taking on it's own identity as a mod that changes up the level design and puzzles, in addition to adding attacks for all mid-bosses and world bosses, retooling the original game into a experience designed to challenge new and returning players alike.

** Super Spark [[labelnote:explanation]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9syYC8M0AnQ Kirby: Revenge of Dream Land - A Flash from the Abyss]] revealed a new Super Ability called Vorpal Cutter, a realized version of the unused Super Cutter. Suffice to say, some fans were so happy that they were asking Shay to make a Super Spark ability, despite them explaining that creating a new Copy Ability takes a lot of effort. For what its worth, Super Spark was acknowledged in a joke video along with Kirby eating Flappy, and became an AscendedMeme of sorts in the form of [[spoiler:an attack used by Magolor's second form.]][[/labelnote]]

** Not only that, but [[spoiler:[[FinalBoss Magolor's second boss form's]] battleground having a different color has also found its way into ''Deluxe'', albeit only when fighting [[TrueFinalBoss Magolor Soul in the True Arena]]]]

* HilariousInHindsight: In this game, Mr. Dooter suddenly gains [[ShockAndAwe lightning attacks]] after he TurnsRed. Come ''[[VideoGame/KirbysReturnToDreamLand Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', and Magolor has to face off against an electricity-themed UndergroundMonkey of Mr. Dooter during the Magolor Epilogue. You could call it AscendedFanon if you really wanted to.

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Monochrome Kirby has composed a few bangin' tracks just for this game.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4RosDykwmQ Ripple Relaxation]], the file select screen music, is a chill remix of "Ripple Field: Ocean Waves" from ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3''.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvXiUgP2SF0 Wake Up and Persevere]], the Game Over music, incorporates a few character leitmotifs into an otherwise ominous piece of music. It's surprisingly effective at urging the player onward.
** [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jy__uWpNVhQ Prism Paradise]], the second version of the file select screen music that plays after completing the Main Mode, is a triumphant call-back to Grass Land's Stage 3 theme from ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'' (and, by extension, Prism Plains from ''VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad''.)]]

** '''Red Sphere Doomers''', despite showing up as early as [[ShiftingSandLand Raisin Ruins]], do not suffer fools gladly. Even their most basic {{Energy Ball}}s leave behind [[PlayingWithFire damaging patches of fire]] all over the ground, and they have very similar tells for an attack that causes huge streams of fire to shoot from their wings and an explosive SphereOfDestruction around themselves. This isn't why they're on the list, however. During a level of [[UnderTheSea Onion Ocean]], there is a dimensional rift that pits the player against '''[[DualBoss Twin Red Sphere Doomers]]'''. While hard enough to deal with alone, fighting ''two at once'' is more of a challenge than many of ''Revenge'''s full-fledged bosses.

** '''[[DropTheHammer Bonkers]]''' is the most infuriating and least predictable MiniBoss by far. With the ability to turn himself temporarily invincible by [[SpinToDeflectStuff spinning his hammer around]] even before he TurnsRed, he can cover large swaths of the arena easily and disrupt many close-range strategies. Once he reaches half health, he gets [[FromBadToWorse far worse]], as every time he jumps, he'll [[SpectacularSpinning spin around some more]] with a radius so large, it's borderline unfair. Rarely, he can also use a ChargedAttack that sends a huge shockwave through the floor and takes up about ''half the screen''.

* ThatOneBoss: '''[[PlayingWithFire Red Sphere Doomers]]''', despite showing up as early as [[ShiftingSandLand Raisin Ruins]], do not suffer fools gladly. Even their most basic attacks leave behind damaging patches of fire all over the ground, and the new attacks exclusive to ''Revenge'' cover huge swaths of the arena. And in the third stage of [[UnderTheSea Onion Ocean]], there's a dimensional rift where you have to fight '''[[DualBoss two of them at once!]]''' Good luck!

* ThatOneBoss: '''[[PlayingWithFire Red Sphere Doomers]]''', despite showing up as early as [[ShiftingSandLand Raisin Ruins]], do not suffer fools gladly. Even their most basic attacks leave behind damaging patches of fire all over the ground, and the new attacks exclusive to ''Revenge'' cover huge swaths of the arena. And in the third level of [[UnderTheSea Onion Ocean]], there's a dimensional rift where you have to fight '''[[DualBoss two of them at once!]]''' Good luck!

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The file select screen music, courtesy of Monochrome Kirby, is unexpectedly relaxing for such a hard game.

* ThatOneBoss: '''[[PlayingWithFire Fire Sphere Doomers]]''', despite showing up as early as [[ShiftingSandLand Raisin Ruins]], do not suffer fools gladly. Even their most basic attacks leave behind damaging patches of fire all over the ground, and the new attacks exclusive to ''Revenge'' cover huge swaths of the arena.
