Kirby Twinkle Terror (also written as Kirby: Twinkle Terror), known as Kirby of the Stars: Twinkle Terror in Japan, is another installment of the Kirby series, set to be released to the Nintendo Switch on early 2020, though it was released during the year 2019 in Japan. It is the second game in the series to be released on the Nintendo Switch, the first one being Kirby: Star Allies, which was released in 2018.

This game was one of the few games announced at How the Grinch Stole the Holiday Showcase, and was announced on Day 2.

Story

A space shuttle with a black star is seen flying around the galaxy, heading towards Planet Popstar. Meanwhile in Dream land, Kirby's just sleeping inside his dome-shaped house when all of a sudden, a loud crashing sound is heard in the distance. It seems that the shuttle had landed on Mt. Dedede, near Dedede's castle. Everyone goes to investigate, as the shuttle entrance opens and an odd creature emerges from it, along with many other creatures. The creature introduces himself and the rest of his lackeys as Umbra and the Shadowstar Legion respectively, who plan to take Planet Popstar as their own home planet after their planet was destroyed entirely, and will take Mt. Dedede as their own turf in the meantime as they plan how to take over the planet. Naturally, King Dedede and his goons decline this, so they decide to take it by force, launching everyone out of the mountain on by one.

Seeing the commotion going on at Mt. Dedede, Kirby decides to go off to find out what is going on, however, a dark barrier is formed around the mountain, preventing Kirby from reaching to that area. A huge space pod lands next to Kirby afterwards, and out comes another odd creature, looking like the ones we saw before, albeit does not have that much dark aesthetics on her. After commenting on the rough landing, she notices Kirby in her line of sight, rushing over to him. She introduces herself to him as Bris, a former member of the Shadowstar Legion, who ruled over her home planet prior to its destruction. When the planet was going to explode, she evacuated to this planet on one of the space pods from the aforementioned organization. Realizing that they also landed here, and would probably want to take it over as well, she followed them here to stop their continued tyranny.

Bris teams up with Kirby so she can rid of them for good, despite her thinking lowly of him at first, she has to take what she gets. Since there is a dark barrier around Mt. Dedede, which is where the Shadowstar Legion is at, the two have to find a way to break through it. Bris suggested on finding Jars of Stardust, which are jars that contain stardust which are the pieces of a weapon that was made on her home planet prior to its destruction. These jars were scattered all the galaxy, with a some of them falling to Planet Popstar and other planets. Kirby goes on a quest to find them, and along the way, he battles monsters along the way, some of them being members of the Shadowstar Legion, and teams up with other characters, like Lance Doo, King Dedede, and Meta Knight. He also recruits with others like Bandana Dee and Adeleine, but they do not join Kirby's adventure, and instead stay in the space pod with Bris.

After collecting enough Jars of Stardust, Kirby and his allies brings them to Bris inside her space pod. She takes the jars and thanks Kirby and the others for finding them for her, and tells him to wait for a few seconds or so. After waiting for a while, she comes back with a vehicle that looks similar to the Starship from Kirby Super Star, and depending on how many Jars of Stardust the player collects, says how strong it is as of now. Kirby can tell her if him and his allies are ready to take off to Mt. Dedede, which has now revamped into Umbra's image. If the player selects yes, the four of them blast off, directly piercing through the barrier surrounding the mountain. Afterwards, Kirby faces off darker versions of past enemies, until he reaches to Umbra's stronghold and confront the perpetrator himself. Before they face him, however, he summons Shadow Kirby to face them, whose health bar determines on how many players are currently playing right now.

Bad Ending

After defeating Shadow Kirby and Umbra's first form, Umbra comments on, no matter how hard Kirby and his friends try, they cannot defeat him as of now before transforming into his second and final form, and escapes. Kirby and his allies are left with awe facial expressions as the stronghold starts collapses on them. They escape afterwards, but they are too late to chase after Umbra, as he uses the rest of his energy to plunge Planet Popstar into darkness, evident by the planet's star turning from shining yellow to shadowy black. The game abruptly ends afterwards, not before the game prompts the player to collect every single Jars of Stardust to see the good ending of the game, as well as defeating all members of the Shadowstar Legion, which appear in the secret stages of each level. The credits will not show during this ending.

Good Ending

After defeating Shadow Kirby and Umbra's first form, Umbra transforms into his second form and rises from his stronghold in an attempt to escape. The stronghold starts to collapse, and Kirby, Lance Doo, King Dedede, and Meta Knight work together to escape before its ruins fall on top of them. They managed to escape, and run back to the Starship-like vehicle and use it to follow Umbra, though not before the Jars of Stardust that they have collected empower it. Bris wishes them good luck as she watches them follow Umbra to the skies. They catch up to Umbra and they engage in a flying battle. Umbra is weakened from the battle, but he manages to destroy the vehicle using a dark pulse-like attack, launching the four to Popstar's moon, where they crash-land. Umbra reappears to finish them off, but they fight back. After a long, grueling battle, Umbra is severely damaged, and can no longer keep the form he is currently in for much longer, and explodes in a great dark explosion, launching Kirby and his friends away, devastating part of the moon, and finally ending the Shadowstar Legion's reign. Bris congratulates them on this achievement, and fist/stub-bumps Kirby before they part ways. King Dedede goes back to his now-destroyed castle alongside Bandana Dee and Lance Doo, while Meta Knight goes off somewhere else, same with Adeleine, during the credits. The credits will show during this ending, after defeating Umbra once and for all.

Gameplay

Like other Kirby games, Kirby Twinkle Terror stays true to the classic Kirby formula, being a traditional platformer, in which the player takes control of Kirby (and Lance Doo, King Dedede, or Meta Knight if there is two or more players, or after they are unlocked), whose objective is to reach the end of a stage, using a plethora of basic moves like floating, slide kicking, the Air Gun technique, and inhaling to star spitting or swallowing to gain a Copy Ability from an enemy if they have one.

The player traverses through levels in Bris's space ship, and each level has a hub that has doors that take players to a stage, with new ones opening up once players finish a level. Players can also go inside Bris's space ship and talk to her, go inside some doors that have other characters contained in there, and one door that players can use to switch out from their current character to another character.

Each stage is mainly filled with enemies, hazards like bottomless pits, and Point Stars. Enemies and hazards can cause damage to the player character, or even out-right kill them if they make a single contact. Though enemies can be defeated in many ways, some can be inhaled and swallowed to gain their abilities (if the player is playing as Kirby), giving them a new variety of attacks. Point Stars can be collected, and if the player collects one hundred they will earn an extra life, which is shared throughout the players (in multi-player). During a multi-player campaign, if other player characters die, they can respawn after death (if there are any more lives), though if Kirby (the main player) dies, they will be kicked out of the stage.

After completing a stage, the players are taken into a Goal Game, which is similar to Kirby Star Allies's Goal Game; being the same as Kirby's Return to Dreamland's Goal Game, but the prizes are reused from Kirby: Triple Deluxe's and Kirby Planet Robobot's Goal Games, and similar to Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland and Kirby's Return to Dream Land, if Kirby lands on the clouds in the order from seven to one consecutively each time the game is played, a UFO appears and rewards him with 30 1UPs, a Maxim Tomato, and a single Emblem.

In most stages, the players have to fight a mid-boss in order to progress through the stage and at the final stage of each level, there is a boss that must be faced before the next level is unlocked, but not before selecting a Copy Ability before facing them. There are also secret bosses in each secret stage of each level, and they are much harder than the level's boss. These bosses are mostly goons working for the Shadowstar Legion.

Stages also have other collectibles scattered and hidden in each of them, like emblems, which function the same way as the stickers Kirby Planet Robobot do, in which you use them as your avatar for your save file slot, and Jars of Stardust, which function the same way as the Rainbow Drops from Kirby's Dream Land 2, and the Heart Stars from Kirby's Dream Land 3 do, as they are not really mandatory to beat the game, but to get the good ending and one hundred percent the game, they must collect all of them, as missing one and defeating the penultimate boss afterwards results in the bad ending. For the good ending, however, the player must also defeat all secret bosses as well.

Super Abilities from Kirby's Return to Dreamland return in this game, and as such enemies and bosses that carry these abilities reappear. Along with bringing some super abilities from the aforementioned game, and bringing some unused abilities as well, the game introduced two all new super abilities.

The Shoppe from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe reappears in Kirby Twinkle Terror, once again run by Magolor, and are unlocked after beating the third stage of each level. The Shoppe is where the player can buy items like Revival Tomatoes, Outfits for Kirby, Lance Doo, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Kirby's Copy Abilities, Emblems, and even Jars of Stardust that the alien character has collected as he was going off to find more products for his Shoppe.

Modes

These are all the modes/sub-games present in Kirby Twinkle Terror.

Adventure Mode

The main mode of the game. In this mode, Kirby and his allies traverse through many levels, fighting enemies, collecting Stars, Emblems and Jars of Stardust, and beating bosses to unlock access to the next level. The story involves Kirby facing off against the Shadowstar Legion alongside King Dedede, Meta Knight and the new character Lance Doo, reaching back to Mt. Dedede to where they are claimed it as their headquarters in the meantime before they take the whole planet for themselves, with the help of other allies, like Bris, who pilots her own space ship. Depending on how many Jars of Stardust are collected throughout the game (or when the player defeats a secret boss in a secret stage of each level), a different ending will play.

Deluxe Mode

After completing the main game, the player can select a character (either Kirby, Lance Doo, Meta Knight, and/or King Dedede) and play through the same levels and stages (including secret stages) like before, however all stages are cramped into one level, all enemies, mid-bosses, and bosses are harder, after beating each boss of a level, a member of the Shadowstar Legion must be faced, and the player has half health than normal at first, though they can find hidden Vitality Pieces to gain more health. Jars of Stardusts are replaced with Maxim Tomatoes and 1UPs, Super Abilities are completely absent in this mode, and at certain points of a level, the player is visited with a hot spring which recovers the players health, acting as a save point as in Kirby: Triple Deluxe's "Dededetour" sub-game and Kirby Planet Robobot's "Meta Knightmare Returns" sub-game.

Robobot Rampage

Robobot Rampage involves players riding their own Robobot Armor from Kirby Planet Robobot and face each other in a 3D-styled battle. Characters roam around the field, using their armor to perform attacks that knock the others backwards and shave off some of their health, and some items drop down from time to time. After being knocked off or after all health is reduced (in which the armor will explode and dismantle), the character is out of the match, and the last person standing wins. Items like Food, Pep Brews, Maxim Tomatoes, and Copy Ability Essences for the armor (ex. Fire, ESP, Beam, Cutter, etc) occasionally fall down onto the stage for the characters to collect, which can benefit them in a way.

On 4/2/2017, alongside two other projects, Robobot Rampage Deluxe, an improved, expanded version of Robobot Rampage, was previewed during the Fan11 showcase. On Day 2 of the showcase, the game was presented.

There are three modes the player can choose what to play:

• Free-Play Mode involves up to four players, either human or computer controlled, battling it out inside Robobot Armor and on a selected stage that has been unlocked. The player change the battle options, enabling hazards, items or Copy Essences, changing the CPU difficulty, changing the time of the match, etc.
• Survival Mode involves one player facing off against an endless horde of enemies, with bosses appearing occasionally appearing on the stage. There are three stages the player can play on, which determine the difficulty of the mode.
• Arcade Mode involves the player facing off other CPU players in a series of rounds. After winning a round, the player advances to the next. Upon reaching the last round, the player must face the final opponent in the mode, Shadow Kirby, and defeating him will send the player to a victory screen. When defeated in a round, the player can continue from the round they are defeated in, or quit to the title screen of the mode.

There are eight stages that the player can face others on. Each stage is a 16x16 square arena above the clouds, each one having a certain gimmick if they have one. Here is a list of playable stages:

• Flora Fields is the first stage on the stage selection, and the first stage the player visits in Arcade Mode. It is a standard grassy stage that has little to no gimmicks, based on Stage 1 of Towering Treetops in Kirby Twinkle Terror.
• Dune Desert is the second stage on the stage selection, and the second stage the player visits in Arcade Mode. It is a desert stage which has 2x2 square quicksand that slow the player's movement down and, if not moving, will start to make them sink, and after a few seconds, they will fall through the arena, eliminating them. The stage is based on Stage 2 of Sand Canyon in Kirby's Dream Land 3.
• Dee Train Tracks is the third stage on the stage selection, and the third stage the player visits in Arcade Mode. It takes place near a train track that covers 4x4 square columns in the middle of the stage, with a train occasionally moving into play at top speeds that will heavily damage anyone who does not move from the center in time. The stage is based on Stage 1 of Odd Odyssey in Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
• Dedede Arena is the fourth stage on the stage selection, and the fourth stage the player visits in Arcade Mode. Here, players are in a ring with an electrical fence preventing players from falling off, but deals heavy damage to anyone knocked back into it. King Dedede will occasionally appear in his HR-D3, and attacks players with missiles and bombs. Destroying the HR-D3 will permanently remove Dedede from the stage, and release a powerful explosion that does heavy damage to anyone caught in the blast radius. The stage is based on King Dedede's arena in Kirby Super Star, though the electric fence is seen during his battle as Masked Dedede in Kirby Super Star Ultra.
• Factory Tour is the fifth stage on the stage selection, and the fifth stage the player visits in Arcade Mode. It takes in a factory with three Squeaky Hammer Machines suspended on 2x2 square blocks and are out of bounds, who will smash the ground with their hammers, flattening anyone caught and dealing heavy damage. The stage is based on Stage 4 of Shiver Star in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
• Vile Volcano is the sixth stage on the stage selection, and the sixth stage the player visits in Arcade Mode. It takes place near an active volcano on a brimstone platform. The arena is surrounded by lava, which heavily damages players who fall into it. As such, there is no way to get eliminated instantly by falling out of bounds. There are some puddles of lava that gradually decreases health as the player steps on them, and the active volcano may erupt, causing a few Ignuses to appear and fall on the arena, breaking apart upon landing. The Ignuses can damage players when they are falling. The stage is based on Stage 4 of Neo Star in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
• Dyna Blade's Nest is the seventh stage on the stage selection, and the seventh stage the player visits in Arcade Mode. It takes place near, as the stage name suggests, Dyna Blade's bird nest. As such, the stage's titular bird appears to hinder players. Dyna Blade uses classic attacks such as dropping onto the ground, shooting fire, stretching her neck, grabbing players, and charging from the background. Dyna Blade can be defeated, and defeating her removes her from the battle.
• Mirror World is the eighth stage on the stage selection, and the last stage the player visits in Arcade Mode. In Arcade Mode, Shadow Kirby, inside his own Robobot Armor, appears from the Dimension Mirror, immediately challenging players as he enters the field. In other modes, the stage is similar to Flora Fields, as it is a standard stage with no gimmicks. The stage is based on the Dimension Mirror level in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, though the arena itself is similar to the arena the player faces Dark Meta Knight for a second time in the aforementioned game.

Kirby Quest

A mode that returns from Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby Quest is an RPG-themed sub-game where each character take turns attacking each other. Unlike in Kirby Mass Attack though, Kirby has a health meter instead of using multiple other Kirbys as health, can select a number of battle actions when it is his (and his partners') turn, and can recruit other characters throughout the sub-game. Kirby and his partners faint if they lose all health, and if all of them faint, they will have to retreat.

Each Chapter has ten stages to go through, with a wave of enemies appearing, and at the halfway point, they will face a random mid-boss from the main game or another character. At the end of each Chapter, they will have to face the Chapter's boss. Here are all the chapters the player goes through, complete with the bosses of each chapter:

• Chapter 1: Kabula (mid boss), Flowery Woods (boss)
• Chapter 2: Moley (mid-boss), Mr. Dooter (boss)
• Chapter 3: Lady Ivy (mid-boss), Jambastion Mages (Francisca, Flamberge, and Zan Partizanne; boss)
• Chapter 4: The Squeaks (mid-boss), Daroach (boss)
• Chapter 5: Mega Titan (mid-boss), Susie (accompanied by three Walker Waddle Dees; boss)
• Chapter 6: Master Hand and Crazy Hand (mid-boss), Marx (boss)
• Chapter 7: Tarzana (mid-boss), Queen Sectonia (boss)
• Chapter 8: The Shadowstar Legion (mid-boss), Umbra (boss), Orbitt (secret boss)

Before starting a chapter, the player can select the party members they want in their adventure (up to three characters), though Kirby will always be in party no matter what. Here are a list of characters the player can have in their party in this sub-game:

• Kirby - Hero: A balanced character. Kirby's stats are average at best, so he has his fair share of pros and cons. Kirby attacks reference most Copy Abilities introduced in the Kirby series.
• Lance Doo - Mage: Although he does not use a specter, he uses his lance that, is not only used for doing melee-attacks, he can also send out waves of energy from said lance. Lance Doo has less health than normal, but makes up for this flaw by using a multitude of electrical magic he uses in his attacks, and his high speed and special attack.
• King Dedede - Tank: King Dedede has the most health and attack out of anyone, and has above average defense, but has poor speed, special attack, and special defense. King Dedede attacks by crushing enemies using his trademark hammer, sending out Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos, Gordos, and using his Super Dedede Jump and Jet Hammer attacks from the Super Smash Bros. attacks.
• Meta Knight - Swordsman: Meta Knight excels in great swordsman skills using his Galaxia, but can do other attacks like turning into a living cyclone, sending out members of the Meta-Knights to attack and disappearing with his cape, reappearing to perform a strong slash. Meta Knight has great speed, though has low special attack and defense.
• Bris - Status: Bris can send out lots of dark magic upon enemies to confuse or stun them. Bris is slow, but not as slow as King Dedede, and has poor health and attack. She does, however, have high special attack and defense.
• Tic - Rogue: Tic is a Tac who can extend out his hand to grab and nab coins and items from enemies and store them in his bag. Tic excels in speed, rivaling Meta Knight in speed, but has limited magic and ways to attack.
• Healmore - Alchemist: Healmore uses his seemingly endless amounts of potions that can heal all party members, and others to inflict burn, poison, or sleep on enemies. However, after using a potion, he must refill. Healmore has poor attack, subpar defense, and average health.
• Zapplug - Shocker: Zapplug is a grey Plugg who attacks by sending out electrical currents from the ground to attack all enemies, or by creating plasma balls from his crown to zap and paralyze an enemy. Zapplug is great for taking out many enemies at once with his attacks, and is also great for paralyzing enemies.

To see all kinds of attacks in the sub-game, see Kirby Twinkle Terror/Kirby Quest Attacks.

Gourmet Race

A mode that returns from Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra, Gourmet Race involves four players, either human or computer controlled, racing against other characters, eating more food than the others, and reach the end (if someone finishes first, they will gain thirty extra points). The player with the most points at the end wins. There are no enemies (expect for enemies that act as obstacles), and there are hazards in some stages that can hinder the players, though they cannot lose a life. There is also a time-trial for the single player, in which they can save their time record as Ghosts and let others try to beat your best time.

There are three stages in the sub-game, all of them returning from their game origin:

• Pumpkin Grand: Pumpkin Grand is a hilly track that is short and acts like a testing ground more so than anything. Kirby has no access to any Copy Abilities in this stage.
• Corn Hall: Corn Hall has more hills and cliffs, and is significantly more longer and harder than Pumpkin Grand. Once again, Kirby has no access to any Copy Abilities in this stage.
• Onion Garden: Onion Garden is harder than the other returning stages, being even longer and harder than them. Kirby has access to Copy Abilities in this stage, those abilities being Wheel, Jet, Parasol, Wing, and Ninja.

Kagero Mansion

A sub-game that was going to be included in Kirby Super Star, but was scrapped due to time constraints, this horror-themed sub-game involves Kirby going through the titular mansion the sub-game is named after, though in the opening, he ventures through a graveyard-like area before going inside the mansion, given the conjectural name "Kagero Graveyard", with lots of hallways and floors, to escape. While doing this, he has to face off against ghostly enemies, and is afflicted with a curse that seals his mouth shut once he enters the mansion, and thus is unable to inhale enemies and gain their Copy Abilities, or being able to shoot an Air Gun after flying, instead he swallows the Air Gun quickly, briefly stopping him once he lands. To make up for it, Kirby can find alternate methods of getting these Copy Abilities (ex. using a lit candle to gain the Fire Copy Ability, gaining Copy Ability Essences when a certain boss is defeated, etc), and in dark areas, must use a lantern to light up the area. After dying multiple times on the same boss, a jar will appear and a Wapod comes out of it, giving Kirby a tip on how to beat a boss that the pink puff is having a hard time beating, all the while mocking him for his ineptitude. In some rooms, Kirby can collect some items inside the mansion, which increases his current score.

The sub-game is somewhat similar to "The Great Cave Offensive" sub-game from Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra.

Apple Scramble

A sub-game that first appeared as one of the ten game modes of Kirby Battle Royale, Apple Scramble is a 2v2, team-based sub-game in which the main objective is to earn points by collecting apples from the two Mini Whispy Woods and bringing them to their assigned trapdoors, similar to its game of origin.

There are four stages the players can pick from to play the sub-game on, all of them being forest-themed:

• Starter Forest is the standard forest for Apple Scramble, featuring ground that is light-brown with light-colored patches. The trapdoors are located just south of two Mini Whispy Woods, making a narrow passageway connecting both sides of the arena, and are mostly surrounded by fences as to make stealing relatively difficult.
• Double-Cross Forest features a second path on the south of the arena, which requires that players jump over brambles. This pathway is needed in order to activate the levers, which are just south of the trapdoors. This pathway also gives a second option for players trying to approach their opponent's side of the arena. Halfway through the match, cannons will appear in the top corners of the arena; throwing apples or other players into a cannon will send them to the corresponding trapdoor, making collecting easier. The floor features a diagonal checker pattern.
• Bramble Forest positions the trapdoors in the bottom corners and the levers in the middle, south of the Mini Whispy Woods, making for a more open area in the middle. The sides contain long pits with brambles, forcing players to walk around or float over them. Players with apples will have to either walk around them or throw the apples over the pit; this can make it easy for players to steal apples from opponents. Any apples that touch the brambles will be destroyed. The floor appears muddy.
• Fenced Forest is a smaller arena than the others. The trapdoors are in the bottom corners, but can be easily accessed by opponents. The levers are located on an elevated platform that cannot be reached during the first 10 seconds of the match. After 10 seconds, however, cannons will appear: one between the two trapdoors, and one on both sides of the elevated platform, which shoot into the corresponding trapdoors; the levers are located between the trapdoors and the cannons. The cannons on the top platform are the only way for players to return to the main arena. The floor appears icy, but this does not affect gameplay.

The Arena

A sub-game that first appeared in Kirby Super Star, The Arena is a challenging sub-game which revolves around Kirby and his allies facing against all the bosses and mid-bosses in the game all in one setting without death. Before facing the first boss, Kirby can select any Copy Ability to use, with the exception of the Super Abilities. After each boss and mid-boss is fought, the gang are sent to a rest area, in which they have recovery items they can use, Kirby can select another Copy Ability to use in the next boss, and sometimes a random Emblem (Rare Emblem when the player has to face the last three bosses) will appear for the player to grab. This sub-game is unlocked after Adventure Mode is completed.

These are all the bosses fought in this order:

1. Shadowy Woods
2. Arco
3. Frogurt
4. Mid-Boss Mashup 1 (Mr. Frosty, Bonkers, Bowinarow, King Doo, and Vividria)
5. Kracko
6. Adeleine
7. Gyrllbee
8. Mid-Boss Mashup 2 (Bombar, Bugzzy, Sweepi, Chameleo Arm, and Dubior)
9. Shadowstar Legion Showdown (Blacura, Tenebus, Terios, Shade, Wraitha, and Sombra)
10. Shadow Kirby
11. Umbra

After all of these bosses above are defeated without death, the player is sent to a victory screen, showcasing the amount of time it took to defeat each boss, and the time shown to complete the sub-game altogether. If Kirby or his allies complete the sub-game without taking any damage, they will be greeted with an unique victory screen, showing the words "PERFECT!" above the characters and they are also seen wearing parts of the defeated bosses (with the exception of Shadow Kirby, the Mid-Boss Mashup mid-bosses, and Umbra's second phase form). This is a callback to the screen shown when the player does not take any damage in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards's "Boss Endurance" sub-game.

The True Arena

The True Arena is an even more challenging and difficult sub-game, which is a heavily revamped version of The Arena, and is the final sub-game of Kirby Twinkle Terror, first appearing in Kirby Super Star Ultra, and being unlocked after completing The Arena for the first time. The True Arena differs itself from its original by having less recovery items and Copy Abilities to gain in its rest area (one of the Copy Abilities is Sleep, which does nothing but make Kirby fall asleep for a few seconds. Though there is a move in its movepool which allows Kirby to dream of food, which comes to life when he wakes up, but that has been removed). The bosses are a lot harder and use their DX battles which was seen in Deluxe Mode, and there are three new bosses added to the game, and one of them is removed (the Shadow Kirby boss battle).

These are all the bosses fought in this order:

1. Shadowy Woods DX
2. Acro DX
3. Frogurt DX
4. Mid-Boss Mashup DX 1 (Mr. Frosty DX, Bonkers DX, Bowinarow DX, King Doo DX, and Vividria DX)
5. Kracko DX
6. Adeleine DX
7. Gryllbee DX
8. Mid-Boss Mashup DX 2 (Bombar DX, Bugzzy DX, Sweepi DX, Chameleo Arm DX, and Dubior DX)
9. Shadowstar Legion Showdown DX (Blacura DX, Tenebus DX, Terios DX, Shade DX, Wraitha DX, and Sombra DX)
10. Morpho Knight Returns
11. Marx Soul Returns
12. Umbra DX
13. Soul of Umbra

The victory screen shown after all bosses are defeated is the same, but the music is remixed, the message shown is different ("TRUE CHAMPION!"), and the characters wear the different parts of each defeated bosses (with the exception of Morpho Knight Returns, Umbra DX, Soul of Umbra, and the Mid-Boss Mashup DX mid-bosses), similar to The Arena's unique victory screen that appears when Kirby and his allies do not take any damage throughout the mode, which in turn, is a callback to the screen shown when the player does not take any damage in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards's "Boss Endurance" sub-game.

Characters

Playable Characters

These are all the playable characters in Kirby Twinkle Terror, all playable in the game's modes and sub-games.

Character	Description	Abilities
Kirby	Kirby is the name you should know. Kirby is the titular center character and main protagonist of the Kirby series, and reprises this role in Kirby Twinkle Terror. Kirby is a pink puff character who has the power to copy any ability from others if he manages to inhale and swallow them, or spit them out as a star, float in the art and shoot out clouds after floating enough times. Kirby is more than less a hero of his home planet, Planet Popstar, who lives in a dome-shaped house in Dream Land, constantly stopping the forces of evil and darkness.	As said before, Kirby can swallow enemies to copy their abilities, giving him a variety of new moves. He can also float in the air for a limited amount of time, though each jump decreases, and after floating, Kirby can shoot out a damaging cloud from his mouth, and can slide kick to slip through a row of enemies and block/dodge any incoming attacks. Inhale: Kirby opens his mouth and starts to inhale enemies. After inhaling for a short while, it gets stronger (Super Inhale). Swallow: Kirby swallows the enemy, copying their ability if they have any. Star Spit: Kirby spits out all enemies he inhaled in the form of a star, varying in size depending on how much or how big the inhaled enemies were. Float: Kirby can float upwards for four seconds before he starts helplessly falling, which each jump decreasing in height. Slide Kick: Kirby does a slide kick to zip through a line of enemies and break through blocks. This does not work against mid-bosses or bosses. Guard / Dodge: Kirby guards himself from attacks, negating most damage, though most attacks can pierce through his defenses and guarding for too long/guarding too many attacks will cause Kirby to be stunned for a few seconds. He can dodge when either or are tapped, or when he tries to block in midair, allowing to be intangible for a few seconds.
Lance Doo	Lance Doo is a Waddle Doo, who is one of King Dedede's lackeys, and wields a lance, acting like a guard along with Bandana Dee. He differentiates himself from other Waddle Doos by using his lance to attack foes and his inability to fire energy balls of electricity without the cost of blinding himself, though he can conjure them up with his lance. Lance Doo can be recruited when the player reaches Stage 2 of Wishy Waters, and can be played by the single player via switching to him inside Bris's space ship, and other players	Lance Doo uses some moves from the Lance and Beam copy abilities for his move list, though he shares some moves with Kirby, like the ability to slide kick. Lance Doo, instead of using a float ability like Kirby or King Dedede, does midair jumps, which act similar to the float ability, though he does not fire an Air Bullet afterwards and can do a wall kick ability. He is also incredibly faster than the others. Lance Beam: Lance Doo creates a line of electricity from his lance and waves it around. Lance Wave: Lance Doo fires off two revolving energy balls.

He can also leap super high in the air and crash back down, at the cost of killing himself if there is no below platform to save Dedede. King Dedede can be found in Stage 3 of Icy Isle, and recruited from there, becoming a playable character for the single player via switching to him inside Bris's space ship, and other players.	King Dedede uses some moves from the Hammer Copy Ability in his arsenal, but he has some exclusive moves like the Jet Hammer-like move, and a Sword Beam-like move when he charges his hammer attack. He can also leap high into the air and crash back down, producing damaging stars and instantly destroying any weak enemies with his weight, albeit at the cost of self-destructing if there is no below platform when the move is used, and can float like Kirby.

Meta Knight is the leader of the Meta-Knights, and captains the Halberd, a large battleship, and also wields the sword, Galaxia, and uses it mostly in battle. Meta uses his cape to teleport and his sword to do devastating attacks, and usually gives Kirby a sword in most of his battles. Meta Knight can be found in Stage 4 of Nimbus Noon, and can be recruited from there, becoming a playable character for the single player via switching to him inside Bris's space ship, and other players.	Meta Knight uses his wings to fly in midair, though each jump never decreases in height. Meta Knight's speed is similar to Kirby's, and uses a few moves from the Sword ability in his moveset.

Skullseer summons Skullys that try to ram into Kirby, and can grab the pink puff and slam him into the floor to deal damage. By interacting with a Treasure Chest, a huge shadow hand will appear, which swats away, dealing damage to not only Kirby, but Skullseer as well, which is the method of defeating him. After being defeated, Skullseer disintegrates into nothingness and leaves behind a piece of the Map, and Skullseer's Horn.
Spiritus	Spiritus is a ghost mid-boss that first appeared in Kirby Twinkle Terror. It is an exclusive mid-boss that only appears in the "Kagero Mansion" sub-game inside of the rooms of the sub-game. Spiritus attacks by separating itself into three smaller replicas that shoot bluish-purple fireballs directly at Kirby. Kirby must make them shoot fireballs at a couple of chandeliers, burning the ropes of the chandeliers and causing them to fall on one of the replicas, instantly removing one of them. After removing the last one, they leave behind Spiritus's Eye.
Tedhaun	Tedhaun is a ghost mid-boss that first appeared in Kirby's Squeak Squad, only appearing once all Ghost Medals are collected, and replaces some mid-bosses in the game in certain stages of a level. In Kirby Twinkle Terror, they return in the Kagero Mansion sub-game, appearing in one of the rooms of the game as a mid-boss. Their battle is similar to their battle in their game of origin; they summon Tedhaun Jrs. to act as a shield and attack Kirby for him, and immobilize the pink puff by grabbing him to let the Tedhaun Jrs. ram into him. Tedhaun can be defeated by using lit candles to cause Kirby to be set on flames and dash into it, dealing damage. After being defeated, Tedhaun fades away, leaving behind Tedhaun's Hat.

Major Bosses

Main modes

Boss	Description
Shadowy Woods	Shadowy Woods is the boss of Towering Treetops, and is the first major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. Shadowy Woods is basically the Whispy Woods of the game, as such some of its attacks are borrowed from the latter, like making stuff fall from its leaves (dark stars, purple apples, and explosive seeds and Gordos in its DX form) and blowing out damaging black stars like Kirby, though some of its attacks are also borrowed from Flowery Woods (DX) from Kirby Triple Deluxe, like using its roots to attack the players. At half health, it grows larger and gains more attacks, a rapid vine whipping attack, an attack where it leaps from the ground in an attempt to crush players, and even sending out dark shockwaves when it lands in its DX form. After beating defeated, it will start to weep and have a sad expression on its face.
Blacura	Blacura is the boss of Towering Treetops's secret stage, and is the second major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. Blacura is a member of the Shadowstar Legion, and one of the antagonists of the game. Blacura's moveset consists of throwing black star-shaped projectiles like shurikens. She also has a wand that fires off black stars that can be inhaled and spat back at her, destroy Ability Stars that Kirby leaves behind, and explode when left alone for a while. Blacura is a difficult boss for first timers, being too fast to even deal damage to her, her projectiles are hard to dodge, and her health is much more inflated than a normal main boss. Luckily, the battle against her is optional. After beating her allows access for the final Jar of Stardust of the stage.
Acro	Acro is the boss of Wishy Washy, and is the third major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. Acro is a recurring boss in the Kirby games, first appearing in Kirby's Dream Land 3; a large orca whale creature (hence his name being "orca" spelled backwards) who attacks by swimming into Kirby and into walls, which cause three boulders to fall, and spitting out many objects like anchors, skulls, Gordos, bolts and even mini-versions of himself...weird. At half health, Acro flashes red, indicating that it is furious, and moves faster than normal, spitting out things faster and when he hits the walls of the arena, more boulders will fall. He will also spit out bombs, which gives the Bomb ability when swallowed. After being defeated, Acro explodes into stars.
Tenebus	Tenebus is the boss of Wishy Washy's secret stage, and is the fourth major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. Like Blacura before him, and the other secret bosses of the game, Tenebus is a member of the Shadowstar Legion. Tenebus's moveset consists of sending out dark shockwaves around his body to deal damage and uses a staff to stab players. He also sends out dark energy balls in multiple directions. Tenebus's battle is considered to be easier than Blacura's battle, but is still hard for some first timers, as he has a heavily inflated health bar. After beating him allows access for the final Jar of Stardust of the stage.
Vanillad	Vanillad is the boss of Icy Isle, and is the fifth major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. Vanillad is an ice cream-shaped boss, with a cherry on top (which is their third eyeball), and a face and mouth. Vanillad flies around the stage, floating to the ground to spew out an ice breath that freezes players, and shoots out icicles from their mouth as well. It also slide around the stage to slam into the players as well. At half health, the cherry on top glows even redder and it give out an angry facial expression for the rest of the battle. It will bounce along the stage as an attack instead of sliding across, the ice breath is more larger and the icicles are shot out faster. It also has a new attack which involves using its cherry/third eyeball to send out an ice beam that deals moderate damage to anyone caught in it. After beating beaten, it will explode, though its cherry falls on the battlefield, turning dark red.
Terios	Terios is the secret boss of Icy Isle, and is the sixth major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. Just like the other secret bosses of the game, he is a member of the Shadowstar Legion, who wields a blade made from the shadows. She can sink into the ground and reappear under Kirby and fire off energy sword slashes when she slashes. As with the other secret bosses, she is hard to defeat with her heavily inflated boss health. After beating her allows access for the final Jar of Stardust of the stage.
Kracko	Kracko is the boss of Nimbus Noon, and is the seventh major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. Kracko is a recurring boss of the Kirby series, like Acro before him. Kracko is a cloud-like creature with a single eye, similar to a Waddle Doo, and has spikes surround him. Kracko's battle is similar to his battle in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, and some of his moves from said game reappears. Kracko has the ability to enlarge his spikes and use them as weapons. At half health, Kracko turns grey and produces electricity, gaining electrical attacks in his arsenal. This phase of the boss battle is similar to his second phase in Kirby Triple Deluxe. Kracko will now shoot lightning bolts downwards, replacing his rain cloud attack, and is faster. He also has a devastating, lightning storm attack that deals massive damage if Kirby and his allies do not grab an umbrella-like item that Kracko shakes out underneath him. After being defeated, he explodes in an explosion of electricity.
Adeleine	Adeleine is the boss of Kragnite Kanyon, and is the ninth major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. Adeleine is a character that first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land 3 under the name "Ado", and later appears again in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. In both of those games, she is possessed and brainwashed by Dark Matter, and battles Kirby. This happens again in this game, and sends out random mid-bosses in the game by painting them, which comes to life. After defeating three mid-bosses, Adeleine starts attacking. She fights similar to the mid-boss Vividria, painting the same stuff as the latter, though Adeleine paints even more things. After being defeated, Adeleine breaks free of her mind control and goes back to Bris's space ship, where she can be visited.
Gryllbee	Gryllbee is the boss of Lava Land, and is the eleventh major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. Gryllbee is a flaming creature with a face. Gryllbee attacks by swooping around the arena, producing flames from its body, slamming downwards to create ground flames, and shooting fireballs from its mouth. The flames from Gryllbee can be inhaled and swallowed to gain the Fire Copy Ability, or spat back at Gryllbee. After shaving half of its health, it will enter the volcano in the background, causing it to erupt and send out Ignuses and jumping flames onto the field, which can be inhaled and spat back at Gryllbee. Upon defeat, Gryllbee slowly shrinks down to a little flame, before dying down.
Shadow Kirby	Shadow Kirby is the penultimate boss of Exhausted End, and is the thirteenth major boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror. First appearing in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, and reappearing in Kirby Triple Deluxe's "Kirby Fighters" sub-game and Kirby Fighters Deluxe, Shadow Kirby is a clone of Kirby existing in the Mirror World, though this Shadow Kirby was created by Umbra to challenge Kirby and his allies, using a multitude of moves from some of the Copy Abilities acquired in the game, examples being the Sword, Beam, Hammer, and Fire Copy Abilities. At half health, Shadow Kirby now starts using moves from all Super Abilities introduced in the game, like Ultra Sword, Monster Flame, Snow Bowl, Flare Beam, Grand Hammer, Giga Cutter, Sparkling Spark, Torrential Splash, and Arash Sharpshooter. Upon defeat, Shadow Kirby explodes in a great shadowy smoke explosion.
Umbra Round 1	Umbra is the boss of Exhausted End, and is the fourteenth major boss, and final boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror' Adventure Mode. Umbra is the leading figure of the Shadowstar Legion, who plans on taking over Planet Popstar. Umbra teleports around the arena, attacking by sending out dark stars, using his dark sword to perform powerful slashes, doing a powerful spin attack (swooping through the arena, and producing dark pulses as he does), and creating dark crystals and smashing them to the ground. When a quarter of his health is reduced, Umbra summons a flail mace. He retains his attacks from his first phase, but they are quicker than usual, and he produces more dark stars and dark crystals. He also gains a new attack, sending down dark lightning bolts from above. When another quarter of his health is reduced, Umbra summons another weapon, a scythe. He is even quicker in this form, and now fires laser beams from his hands instead of dark stars and dark crystals. He retains the lightning bolt attack, though. After all of his health is reduced, he floats back down on the ground, defeated.
Umbra Round 2	Umbra is the boss of Exhausted End, and is the fourteenth major boss, and final boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror' Adventure Mode. After his first fight with Kirby and his allies, Umbra transforms into his second form, and floats off. When all Jars of Stardust and all other members of the Shadowstar Legion are defeated, Kirby and others will have to face him again. In this battle, it is similar to Power Orb Nightmare's battle, where it takes place high in the sky, and Kirby must shoot him down by firing stars from his Starship-like vehicle. Umbra will try to ram into the vehicle to damage it, fire dark energy crescent projectiles, float across the top of the screen, firing dark lightning bolts, and fire a huge dark laser. Nothing drastically changes when he reaches half health, except that his attacks deal more damage, his cutter projectiles, dark lightning bolts and dark laser is larger in size, and is faster. After his health is shaved completely, Umbra destroys the Starship vehicle with a dark pulse, launching Kirby and his allies to Popstar's Moon.
Umbra Round 3	Umbra is the boss of Exhausted End, and is the fourteenth major boss, and final boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror' Adventure Mode. After his second fight with Kirby and his allies, he destroys the Starship-like vehicle with a single blow, launching the four to Popstar's moon, where Umbra proceeds to face them for a third time. Umbra uses a combination of the same moves seen in his first and second battle, uses the weapons of the other Shadowstar Legion members, like Blacura's wand and shurikens, which can destroy Ability Stars dropped by Kirby. After depleting all of his health for the first time, Umbra appears to be defeated, though he comes back to life, and powers up once again. He now has four pieces of health now, and he summons Super Ability enemies, which give the Giga Cutter, Sparkling Spark, Monster Flame, and Ultra Sword Super Abilities in that order. After Kirby delivers the final blow, Umbra explodes from too much pressure in his second form, devastating part of the moon, and launching Kirby, Lance Doo, Meta Knight, and King Dedede off it, ending the battle, and finally ending the threat once and for all.

Sub-games

Mid-Boss	Description
Kagero Mansion
Kagero	Kagero is an optional boss introduced in Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Kagero Mansion" sub-game, appearing near the exit door after the player clears out every single other mid-boss in the game. Being the owner of the mansion for years on end, Kagero curses anyone who dares to enter his mansion uninvited, like he did with Kirby. Kagero attacks by summoning various enemies encountered throughout the game, like Sanchangs, Mummbons, etc, while Kagero attacks by shooting blue fire across the room. The blue fire follows Kirby briefly before dissipating. Kagero also fires fiery blue stones that fall onto the ground, and can be picked up once they cool down and thrown at Kagero. After doing this multiple times, Kagero is finally defeated, his curse inflicted on Kirby is permanently removed, and Kirby can exit out the door and finish the sub-game.
Robobot Rampage
Shadow Kirby	Shadow Kirby is a character introduced in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, reappearing as the final boss of Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Robobot Rampage" sub-game, appearing at the end of Arcade Mode. Shadow Kirby is fought on the Mirror World stage of the sub-game, and appears from the Dimension Mirror in his own Robobot Armor. Shadow Kirby plays identical to the players, so his movepool, and the usage of items and Copy Abilities is the same. Depending on the difficulty that was set beforehand, Shadow Kirby is either incredibly easy or very difficult to beat. Once defeated, Shadow Kirby's Robobot Armor explodes, before he himself explodes in a great dark cloud explosion.
Kirby Quest
Flowery Woods	Flowery Woods is a boss that first appeared in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, reappearing in Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Kirby Quest" sub-game as the boss of Chapter 1. Flowery Woods is one of the many bosses based on Whispy Woods, a recurring, classic boss of the Kirby series. Flowery Woods attacks by using his roots to skewer the party, using the flowers on his leaves as a razor blade to deal damage, and also shake enemies off its leaves to aid him in battle. Once defeated, the player beats Chapter 1, and can advance to the next Chapter.
Mr. Dooter	Mr. Dooter is a boss that first appeared in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, reappearing in Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Kirby Quest" sub-game as the boss of Chapter 2. Mr. Dooter is a genie, specializing in juggling skulls and bombs, which he uses to attack during his boss battle. He can also juggle Gordos once his health is below 35%. Once defeated, the player beats Chapter 2, and can advance to the next Chapter.
Jambastion Mages	The Jambastion Mages are a group of bosses that first appeared in Kirby Star Allies, reappearing in Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Kirby Quest" sub-game as the bosses of Chapter 3. The group consists of three mage characters, Francisca, Flamberge, and Zan Partizanne, who fight together during their boss battle. Francisca uses a snowflake labrys to hack and slash (or use the head of the axe as a giant disk) and a water gun that she shakes before shooting to release a stream of water, Flamberge uses a flamberge, fire attacks, and a fire cannon that exhales a stream of flames, and Zan Partizanne uses a electricity-imbued Partisan. Once defeating all three of them, the player beats Chapter 3, and can advance to the next Chapter.
Daroach	Daroach is the leader of the group of mouse-like thieves, The Squeaks, and is the main antagonist of Kirby: Squeak Squad, reappearing in Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Kirby Quest" sub-game as the boss of Chapter 4. Fought inside his own airship, Daroach attacks by dropping bombs on the party, shooting an ice beam at a single party member to freeze them, using his magic scepter, and using the Triple Star to fire off three stars at all party members. Once defeated, the player beats Chapter 4, and can advance to the next Chapter.
Susie	Susie, full name Susanna Patrya Haltmann, is the executive assistant and secretary of Haltmann Works Company, being the secondary antagonist of Kirby Planet Robobot, reappearing in Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Kirby Quest" sub-game as the boss of Chapter 5. In her game origin, Susie was in charge of the Mechanizing Occupation Project, a project with the goal of eradicating all life on Planet Popstar and draining the planet's resources, and was fought in Overload Ocean as the boss of the level. Susie fights in the mech seen in her boss battle from the aforementioned Kirby title, dropping explosive screwdrives on the ground, fire homing explosives, and doing a spin attack that scores rapid damage. Susie is also accompanied by three Walker Dees. Once defeated, the player beats Chapter 4, and can advance to the next Chapter.
Marx	Marx is a character who first appeared in Kirby Super Star, reappearing in its remake, Kirby's Mass Attack, Kirby Star Allies as a playable character, and Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Kirby Quest" sub-game as the boss of Chapter 6. Marx appears in his jester-form for the first half of the battle, and in his bat-form for the second half. Marx attacks by kicking his ball at party members, and firing arrows or crescent blades. After 50% of his health is reduced, he grows wings and uses stronger magical attacks, based on his movepool during his boss battle in Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ulta. Once defeated, the player beats Chapter 6, and can advance to the next Chapter.
Queen Sectonia	Queen Sectonia is a character who first appeared in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, reappearing in Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Kirby Quest" sub-game as the boss of Chapter 7. Queen Sectonia uses her scepter to send out magic blasts, swords to rapidly stab part members, and create gold ring discs and throw them at party members. Queen Sectonia, just like Susie, is accompanied by three white, green and red Antlers, and can summon more after two turns. Once defeated, the player beats CHapter 7, and can advance to the final Chapter.
Umbra	Umbra is an antagonistic character, who first appeared in Kirby Twinkle Terror, reappearing in the gme's "Kirby Quest" sub-game as the boss of Chapter 8, and the final boss of the sub-game as a whole. Umbra attacks using dark stars, switching between a dark sword, a dark scythe and a dark flail mace, attacking with one of the weapons he switches to, dark crystals, and dark lightning bolts. After all of his health is depleted at first, Umbra transforms into his second form, and starts attacking once again, this time firing dark energy crescent projectiles, and ramming into party members, and fire a huge laser to deal heavy damage to all party members. Once defeated, Chapter 8 is beaten, and the sub-game is completed, that is unless the player never uses any items during the first phase of the battle...
Orbitt	Orbitt is the true main antagonist of Kirby: Nova Zoo, who reappears in Kirby Twinkle Terror, reappearing in Kirby Twinkle Terror's "Kirby Quest" sub-game as the secret boss of Chapter 8, and the true final boss of the sub-game as a whole. After defeating Umbra's first form without using any items whatsoever, Orbitt suddenly appears, inhales what remains of Umbra, gains a significant power boost, and proceeds to battle the party. Orbitt uses similar attacks from Kirby's Copy Abilities, can use his own stinger to deal damage, and, nearing death, fire a huge laser that heavily damage all party members (and even OHKO them). Once defeated, Orbitt explodes, fading into nothingness and leaving behind his heart. His heart can perform explosive charges, but can be quickly disposed of with a single attack. Once defeated, the player is taken to a unique victory screen for the sub-game.

Items & Environmental elements

Trivia

• Lance Doo plays similarly to Bandana Dee in Kirby's Return to Dreamland in Kirby Twinkle Terror, leaving some to believe he is a replacement for the latter.
  • Coincidentally, Bandana Dee was originally to be a playable character in Kirby Twinkle Terror before the developers decided to replace him with an all new character.
• King Dedede and Meta Knight's updated movepool reference their appearance in the Super Smash Bros. series.
• This is the fourth time Bandana Dee has a blue scarf on his spear rather than a red one. He also had this in Super Smash Bros. Calamity, Boss Battles, and Edge's Super Smash Bros..
• The eyes of the yellow cap on the Cutter ability change expressions to match Kirby's current expression.
• Originally, Lance was going to be a copy ability, which was a part of Lance Doo's move list, but it was decided against because it would be a clone of the already-existing Spear ability, though its ability star was used for Lance Doo.
