Warning: Contains massive spoilers.
The entire planet is a mechanized (or roboticized) wasteland populated only by machines in the shape of living creatures. The name sounds just like one of Eggman's creations. And the boss of the area happens to look just like something the fat man would build to kill Sonic.
- Jossed. Egg Engines is in Halcandra and not Mobius.
- True though Egg Engines might possibly be a Shout-Out to that series.
- Even if it isn’t Mobius, that might actually make it worse. If Eggman’s robots have expanded to other planets, that would mean they have probably completely mechanized Mobius and are now moving on to other planets. And that would mean Eggman has become a Galactic Conquerer.
- Actually, the Kirby universe is not the Sonic universe in a The Bad Guy Wins scenario. If you pay attention, the levels in this game have a Theme Naming aside from their initials spelling "CROWNED": that Theme Naming is food (Cookie Country, Nutty Noon, Dangerous Dinner etc.), which fits Kirby (and Dedede's) nature as Big Eaters. Although Egg Engines being a Shout-Out to Sonic is a completely different story.
- While not stated upright, there is a remix of Grape Gardens present, although not in Raisin Ruins.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- The very last part is confirmed, though. "Magolor will turn out to have been evil all along".
- Magolor was actually possessed by Dark Matter - during the second phase of the final boss, you can see Dark Matter's eye.
- That is never confirmed, in fact it is more heavily implied that the Crown has a consciousness of its own (much like other Ancients' constructs, like NOVA and the Lor), and is simply manipulating Magolor.
- That's likely to be the case when looking the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition. Magolor mentions that when he first arrived, things got hectic until Kirby saved the world (and apparently, Magolor as well). However, he has shown to still hold some of the crown's energy, such as having a tendency to win in races against Kirby and eventually regaining some of his magic from the crown, so make of that what you will.
- Or, Magolor is a piece of Dark Matter. Or the crown is.
- Judging by the 20th anniversary collection game, it's likely the crown is a piece of Dark Matter.
- That is never confirmed, in fact it is more heavily implied that the Crown has a consciousness of its own (much like other Ancients' constructs, like NOVA and the Lor), and is simply manipulating Magolor.
- Possibly confirmed; Void Termina is heavily implied to have created the Master Crown, and it is also heavily implied that VT is related to, if not the progenitor of Dark Matter.
- Confirmed, getting all ship pieces lets you go to Worlds 6 and 7(Egg Engines and Dangerous Dinner respectively), located in Magolor's home planet, Halcandra.
- Confirmed and Jossed at the same time: Everything but the gears powering something are true. He does get a Doomsday Device, though. He isn't the true final boss, but close enough.
- He's right about that...the crown possessed the alien, after all.
Dark Matter posessed Magolor to try and get close to Kirby to destroy him. But, to beat someone as tough as Kirby, he needed the power of the master crown. He had Kirby and co. do all the dirty work, then he steals the crown in a gambit to try and destroy Kirby once and for all. Were it not for Landia, he would have indeed succeeded. Wheather or not Magolor is killed at the end doesn't matter, really, because it was Dark Matter the whole time.
- Might go either way according to the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition.
- Makes you wonder what Zero has been doing the entire time since Crystal Shards...
- Kirby's Dream Collection confirms that Dark Nebula is a "Being of Dark Matter" so you could say that Zero was behind it.
- Their boss forms are also similar, in the way that they both come Back from the Dead and have 'Soul' as part of their title.
- Perhaps he is Marx. They both have similarly pointed heads, they both turn out to be evil, both are/ were affable enough, and they're never seen together in the same place. Perhaps Marx went through a bit of a costume change to try his plans again.
- The only problem with Magolor = Marx is that Marx doesn't have hands, and Magolor doesn't have feet.
- Look at Magolor's hands. They're not even attached to his body. Is it possible that they are some sort of magic gloves that Marx obtained them after Milky Way Wishes? As for the feet, well, if he's desperate enough for a disguise...
- Detached hands are hardly uncommon in the Kirby-verse. Examples that come to mind are Daroach of Squeak Squad, or Iron Mam and Jukid of Super Star (Ultra). And even if Marx did chop off his own feet (eeeep), there's still the body shapes of Marx and Magolor. Marx is all round, while Magolor appears to have a cone-ish body.
- Judging from the opening cutscene on the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition, it's unlikely that Magolor & Marx are the same person. Plus, I think a bonus credits scene involves Marx and Magolor being a part of the crowd, but I'm not 100% sure on that myself.
- Jossed. They're both Dream Friends in Star Allies, and seperate characters on top of that.
- The only problem with Magolor = Marx is that Marx doesn't have hands, and Magolor doesn't have feet.
- The Crown isn't only sentient, it's evil. Magolor Soul's description basically states that Magolor is already dead and the Crown is just controlling his body.
- The crown also moves and jiggles in an disturbingly organic manner while Magolor's in his first One-Winged Angel form. In his second transformation the crown has even grown tendrils that wrap all around Magolor's body. In the Ex version these tendrils even have spikes and make up Magolor Soul's blazing wings. Clearly it's alive and using Magolor as its puppet.
- Judging by the eyeball that appears in Magolor's mouth when he wears it, it seems likely the crown is infected by Dark Matter. Perhaps the crown used to be a good-affiliated artifact, but was possessed by Dark Matter in the same way it can possess people.
- Furthermore, the "eyeball mouth plus small beady eyes above it" are reminiscent to Zero Two's intro in Crystal Shards. Could it be that the evil inside the crown is none other than the lord of all dark matter himself?
- While it's not 100% certain, the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition does suggest that the sentience involved with the crown is still found in Magolor even after beating (and supposedly, saving) him at the end of Return to Dream Land.
- Furthermore, the "eyeball mouth plus small beady eyes above it" are reminiscent to Zero Two's intro in Crystal Shards. Could it be that the evil inside the crown is none other than the lord of all dark matter himself?
- With Deluxe having Magolor fight against the Master Crown itself (using a giant tree as its body), it seems like it's confirmed.
- This is confirmed in-game, Magolor mentions that the Master Crown was made by the Ancients, and we also know that the Ancients made NOVA as well.
- Not quite comfirmed outside of the game yet. In Kirby: Planet Robobot (a later Kirby game), the Haltmann Works Company found remains of NOVA(not sure if it's the original one) and built the Access Ark and Star Dream out of them. I could be wrong, though.
- Jossed since he admitted that even after his first trip, he wanted to come back again and create a "theme park" for Kirby in Kirby's Dream Collection.
Now bitter and pissed off, Magolor asked Kirby and his friend to bring back the fallen ship parts; keeping a calm and friendly facade throughout. Once they flew to Halcandra, Landia attacked them, causing the ship to go down. Kirby and friends fought Landia and won, freeing Landia from Zero's influence. Magolor takes the crown for himself and transformed, his Dark Matter side comes back to him allowing him to brainwash the Starcutter Lor into attacking his former allies. When that fails he tries to kill them under Zero's influence. After Magolor is killed, the Master Crown shatters taking Zero's soul with it, freeing Magolor in the process.
Magolor EX is a manifestation of Magolor enhanced with Zero's power, and Magolor Soul is Zero, Lor EX is the Starcutter Lor at full power.
- Well, you are at least right that it defeating Magolor did free him. However, it does suggest that Magolor is just a normal alien that lives in another dimension, and is nothing more than just that.
- Seems to be mixed since in the opening cutscene for the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition, he mentioned that he knows how hectic his first trip was and that he wanted to make it up to Kirby, but he still holds some of the powers that he had with the crown despite not wearing it anymore. On second thought, it might very well be confirmed.
- Jossed...in the main timeline, at least. While Magolor may have freed himself from the Crown's endless nightmares (as shown in the Magolor Epilogue), there could very well be a version of him that met a far worse fate in a grisly colosseum...
- If Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition is canon, it's very possible for that to be the case.
- It appears to be the case with the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition.
- Confirmed? Void Termina definitely has something to do with both the Master Crown and Dark Matter; it's implied he created both.
- Sounds like you haven't even played Kirby Super Star Ultra. Until then, HAL Lab might answer this in the future.
When battling Magolor being empowered by the crown, one of his attacks involves magic spheres, summoning attacks and enemies, and bombardment beams. He can try to summon a black hole with the help of his Summoning Circle he use like most of his attacks with the help of the same Magic Circle Runes(though the runes will change once he became Magolor Soul) that's around both his wrists though it looks different from Mid-Childan Magic Circle but kinda functions the same way like how fast it can spin depending how much magic that's been casted.
Lastly, when Kirby was about to hit Magolor with his Ultra Sword attack for the final blow, Magolor cast his Round Shield to try to block off before Kirby penetrate his shield and finish him off.
The reason why Magolor wanted the Master Crown so bad, is that he was tired of Landia ruling Halcandra for Nova knows how long, and he challenged Landia in hopes to dethrone the dragon. He failed horribly, and Landia cast him into exile. Magolor had dug up the Lor Starcutter prior to the battle, in case he was actually exiled, and ran off to Popstar. However, Landia had shot at the Lor as warning shots as not to come back, and the Lor started to fall apart, as evidenced by the Energy Spheres still on Halcandra.
It was just when Magolor got to Popstar when the Lor completely broke and crashed. When Kirby and company came to help Magolor, he thought that this would be a perfect opportunity to get back at Landia if Kirby could fix the Lor. When all was said and done, Magolor took them to Halcandra to try and usurp Landia once more. The dragon, infuriated by Magolor's return, shot at the ship to try and get it to crash again, but it ultimately failed. Magolor, now knowing he was too weak to go up against Landia, sent Kirby and friends who have proved themselves to be competent enough to fight the dragon.
When Kirby took down Landia, Magolor took the crown, thinking the power would help him become the new ruler, but once he put it on, the power overtook him, and trapped his subconscious in the crown. His body, controlled by a force within the Master Crown, attacked Kirby. Did you notice the crown wiggling during the battle with "Magolor?" That's the real Magolor, trying to escape. When Magolor Soul was taken down, it freed the true him, at the expense of his body, sending him into a coma. He was sent adrift into sace, and in a series of events, he somehow ended up back at Popstar when he finally awoke a year later.
- Magolor Soul's description does state that the crown possessed him; and Magolor was a 'sad shell', I think it's about 50% true.
- This is almost definitely jossed. The time war was against the Daleks, not Dark Matter and it was never stated how the ancients died out.
- This seems to be confirmed considering that Magolor Soul now has 3 Pause Descriptions and evidence that he might be getting a True Arena exclusive fight.
- All the Magolor Epilogue bosses are now a part of the True Arena, bringing the total boss count to 21. Additionally, Magolor Soul's fight has been upgraded immensely with a new battle theme, visual overhauls and a harder moveset with 2 healthbars. However, Magolor Soul doesn't get a new form.
- The 2/8/23 Direct has confirmed the latter, that being the Magolor Epilogue, which takes place after the main story. More likely than not, since a new version of Fatty Puffer has been seen in the footage of the Direct, so it's likely the former is confirmed as well.
- The True Arena EX is mostly jossed, though all the Magolor Epilogue bosses are now a part of the True Arena, bringing the total boss count to 21. "Mostly", because for this occasion, Magolor Soul took several steroids as well, essentially becoming a "Chaos Magolor" in all but name.
- It seems to be confirmed that the Magolor Epilogue is indeed a playable version of what Kumazaki was talking about in the Miiverse post, but whether Magolor is actually in Kirby hell is still unclear.
- Jossed. Turns out that the Master Crown itself is the final boss.
- Evidence 1: At the beginning of the final fight with the Crown, we can see what appears to be a futuristic city being destroyed in the background. There are only two civilizations that can make cities like that: Haltmann works and the Forgotten Land residents, and there doesn't seem to be any signs that Haltmann is behind it.
- Evidence 2: The state of Halcandra. The place is an island in space, and not in a metaphorical "This island, Earth" sort of way, no, it is quite literally a giant chunk of rock with only two notable things on it: A volcano and a factory. The volcano might be understandable, but...why a factory? Well, Forgotten Land also had a factory near a volcanic wasteland, so maybe the residents were trying to do the same thing here.
- Evidence 3: Ok, stick with me here, Magolors aspirations outside of getting the crown were to either open up a theme park or to sell items to heroes in a fantasy setting. Why would Magolor want to do either of those things? Well, consider that the forgotten land is riddled with things like malls, shops, and there's even a giant theme park in it, and that Magolor said that he grew up on Halcandra, maybe he was just following in the footsteps of the residents.
- This point is partially Jossed. If you 100% EX Mode in Deluxe, Magolor will reveal that he isn't actually from Halcandra. He did spend a lot of time travelling around Halcandra, however. He also says that building his own amusement park is his "lifelong dream".
- Jossed, it is cannon, but not in the Forgotten Land, as we can see it in the background of the first level in Nutty Noon.
- Separate troper here. Our Trivia page states under What Could Have Been that the defeat animation for Magolor & Magolor Soul was originally only supposed to play if all Energy Spheres were collected, signifying that Magolor would be freed from the Master Crown if 100% Completion was achieved, and would not be freed if the player doesn't fully complete the game. This makes me think that the True Arena Magolor Soul death animation in Deluxe is repurposed from the originally planned "bad ending" death animation…
