How Planet Robobot Perfected Modern 2D Kirby

[@m.s.e.advanced2842]

Love how they incorporated the mechanical theme into everything beyond just an aesthetic, from boss design and abilities all the way to how the Robobot armor changes abilities

[@chimuoma390]

The Robobot Armor Is Based On The Ride Armor From Mega Man X!I HAVE ALL THE BEST AMIIBOS FOR THIS GAME!AND I BEAT THE TRUE ARENA WITH THEM!!!ESP NESS AMIIBO SAVED MY ASS!!!!😁😁😁

[@TheFluBugZ]

@@chimuoma390 I can even see inspiration from the small robot from Gurren Lagann. Especially with the arm transforming into a drill to deliver the finishing blow to the few bosses you fight in it.

[@aosevenvultures5368]

My favorite Kirby games are triple deluxe, return to dream land, and amazing mirror

[@aruce9]

Planet robobot is single-handedly one of the best Kirby game. The gimmick is fleshed out so well and it feels like the culmination of old and new kirby

[@ChristopherMoom]

Planet Robobot is such a phenomenal game, it was the game that got me into the Kirby Franchise as a whole, and it's genuinely my number one favorite game in the world, even overtaking my other beloved games, like UNDERTALE Robobot does so many things right as a platformer, and the finale with Star Dream is an absolutely unforgettable experience Awesome video! The timing of this also works quite nicely, I just happen to be preparing for Robobot's 6th Anniversary (jeez that's insane) at the time of this comment!

[@guyudontno7689]

I agree that Planet Robobot is the best modern Kirby game thus far, and this is coming from someone who played Return to Dreamland and Triple Deluxe before it. I replayed it last year and it has held up SO WELL. I can't believe this game is almost SIX years old! I still remember when I played it shortly after it released. Ugh, I feel so much older than I actually am...

BRUH THE UNDERTALE GUY LIKES KIRBY

[@ashers1930]

It was the first ever Kirby game I ever played, and though I never completed it till this year, it was awesome.

[@ShibuNub3305]

I agree that Robobot has the best gimmick, instead of being a generic screenwipe-powerup like ultra abilities and hypernova, the robobot armor has its own moveset and it’s more like a different gameplay style instead of “oh we gotta press the nuke button now!” Star Allies partners are ok but we’ve kinda seen all that before so it’s not as interesting.

[@frytoes]

it feels more like a mechanic then a gimmick, its utilized so much, and its so good that I didn't even know it was a gimmick at first.

[@tintedpalette653]

It makes me optimistic with Mouthful Mode since all the different forms can lend itself to unique puzzles and scenarios

[@Jdudec367]

I thought Ultra Abilities were still pretty cool and novel as the first ever gimmick though.

[@gameinsane4718]

Robobot is it’s own league. The villains have THOROUGHLY mechanized everything and it’s satisfying to go “anything you can do, I can do better” on them by using his abilities amped THROUGH the mech! And I think that’s the charm, it’s a super form that still feels like a standard Kirby level. Hypernova was just a lame big suck (literally) but also feels like you’re unleashing karma by attacking them with an upgraded mechanized version of you

[@charliep7112]

When it comes to modern Kirby gimmicks, the super abilities from RtDL were pretty good, nothing amazing, but it was satisfying landing powerful attacks, also snow bowl is absolutely amazing and easily the best super ability. KTD's supernova is literally just abilityless Kirby with a more powerful suck, yawn. KPR's robobot armor is easily the best gimmick, it is a powerhouse against enemies, the robobot armor variants of the copy abilities are super fun, the puzzles are creative, and the platforming is top notch. KSA's allies suffer from the opposite problem of KSS's helpers, as awhile the KSS helpers are dumb as all hell, as the only helper I actually use is Wheelie Rider since you can ride on him and essentially use the wheel ability with the ability to jump, outside of that (and that one time I use Burning Leo in the Old Tower's basement to get that one treasure in Great Cave Offensive), I avoid using helpers all together as they are more of a nuisance if anything, KSA's allies on the other hand basically play the game for you, so outside of those parts where you have to use the allies, I avoid using allies for a more engaging experience.

[@WARlord1903]

This game has what is probably my favorite final boss sequence of all time. Taking over the Halberd and the Star Dream reveal is super hype.

[@YopAlonso]

You love to see a game tell its story through their stages, with the Waddle Dees especially, going from wearing helmets, to testing some small mechs, to having cybernetic implants.

[@dustymcwari4468]

Star Dream may be the fight Kirby avoided in Superstar, as there he just infiltrated it through a gap in the machine’s face and deactivated that Nova by destroying its core, whereas here, you gotta fight it straight ahead, and rather than the Nova being too focused on reaching Pop Star to treat you as more than just a mild intruder, here you have most of Star Dream’s attention

[@mikaloobahton]

Star dream is def my favorite final boss of the series, the music and the atmosphere is great (and the true arena version is pretty hard) even if the fight isnt like the rest of the game i personally dont mind it. Also ESP's teleporting attack is really broken lol

[@FedoraKirb]

Robobot is in a lot of ways like Majora’s Mask and Super Mario Galaxy 2: take a great gameplay style, add some new mechanics, give it a new theme (moreso in MM rather than Galaxy), and simply improve what the original did. BAM! Instant fan favorite.

[@Magic_Ice]

I can see where you are coming from but it’s funny how you compare Majora’s Mask and galaxy 2. MM alters the zelda formula so heavily with it’s setting and story and how mario galaxy 2 does the complete opposite. Though I do kinda agree on the gameplay front.

[@FedoraKirb]

@@Magic_Ice True, Majora’s Mask and Galaxy 2 are total opposites on story fronts in comparison to their predecessors lol.

[@barrysmith4610]

Both this and triple deluxe are such Awesome kirby games

[@theravingtimes9582]

I once had a theory over why Kirby's Robobot cries at the end of Planet Robobot that was recently disproven. I was under the impression that after Star Dream was destroyed, Haltman's soul was freed and possessed the Robobot so that he could thank Kirby for stopping Star Dream from taking over the world his daughter lived in. But as a consequence, his soul was forever trapped inside the Robobot and as he begins drifting into the empty abyss he begins to shed oil from the eyes of the Robobot, knowing that he will never be reunited with Susie.

[@TheWillikids]

Two things I have to say. That theory of yours is freaking impressive, but second... How dare you impale my heart with that painful theory, knowing that Haltman would lost while Susie probably would never remember or recognize her father anymore.

[@EbonyIsAHellhound]

Eh if that's the case then the Robobot can cry harder. I give no shits about President Haltmann or Susie.

[@EbonyIsAHellhound]

Update: I care now. I give shits now. I learned the concept of empathy, and my heart grew 3 sizes. Also I ate this weird cube and my stomach hurts.

[@mjdxp5688]

I consider Planet Robobot to be my favorite 3DS game, and my favorite Kirby game. Everything about it is such a blast. It's difficult to express my love for this title, it's just so well done with its theme, art style, mechanics, and innovations. It also has one of my favorite stories in gaming, it's simple yet super effective.

[@citrushubnetwork1052]

Mine too! I beat it 100 percent! Also, I can almost Harmonize Every Tune! Poison is my favorite!

[@mmmario8004]

Again, same!

[@MasterIke777]

Planet Robobot is definitely the current peak of the Kirby formula, and with the Star Dream reveal hitting so close to home, it's really neat seeing another recurring boss. I know this isn't the same Nova that Kirby defeated back in Super Star, but just like Dark Matter and O2, it's really awesome having another recurring boss type.

[@LucosPlays]

Planet Robobot what a beautiful game and the highest point in Kirby as a whole. Something funny is that the hypernova was supposed to make a comeback but they just dropped it and that was for the best to give this game it's full identity. I really loved the idea of the Robobot and how it blends with the different abilities. 2:59 it may be ridiculous but that ability is still perfect because LOOK AT KIRBY!!!! And i'm still wondering why they decided to bring back circus...but no Beetle that was a personal favorite. 6:53 that part was just hilariously random. That Skill Share ad segway was clever yet again good one. It's fine to just go and be a fanboy with the soundtrack because Holy Shit is sooooo good although the only tracks that beat any of the boss themes in this game are the Sectonia themes from Triple Deluxe. Man i just remembered your video about Kirby lore when we were on the final stretch of the main game...man i'm so happy to be subscribed to your channel. The final final boss is just amazing, epic and perfect no contest but extra points for the stickers although would've been better if the halberd had the deformed Dedede stickers 😆 Meta Knightmare Returns is just perfection, fanservice at full strength, amazing controls, also Galacta Knight although i expected to see him because he's just the man. The true arena can go and burn in hell...is so freaking cruel and funnily enough i talked about it with some friends last weekend when a friend was playing this game and we were on the same boat this true arena is just freaking cruel although the remix of Heart of Nova was a good touch except for the final attack that was a good middle finger for the player and it's hilariously cruel. This game is just the peak of Kirby (in general for now but will be the 2D peak forever), and Star Allies was a bit disappointing because of the base game at least the DLC were a good thing but still not even close to the high points of the Return trilogy. Great video Monger keep the great work dude

[@Inferno144]

Neat little detail with Star Dream Soul OS is that everytime you hit it, you hear this pained yelp...sounding very much like Haltmann. Hes still in there, even if just absorbed and he can feel every inch of damage you're inflicting. But hes too far gone, this is a mercy at this point.

[@idunno_]

This is my favorite Kirby game and I don't think it'll ever be topped. It just nails everything. Also, Star Dream Soul OS' final attack doesn't actually kill you no matter what. I learned that when I first beat him with archer and tried doing the hide thing and was caught off guard that it hit you through it. I had luckily just used my backup healing item which brought me to full health right before and survived

[@TehXana]

Great video as always. Just a minor gripe though. I don’t mind the gushing over music - in fact, I love it and all the facts behind them! But I’m sure many of us would like to hear the comparisons in the video instead of having to pause the video to check it out for ourselves every time something like it is brought up.

[@bradyanderson1229]

When I completed it a second time, I was astonished to find out that the explosion was indeed an attack LOL!

[@pillowmint4622]

you must have felt SO cool when you found out!

[@ThunderJimmy]

This game on top of at least 3 others, introduced new mechanics to further shape Kirby's possible arsenal to save Popstar and by extension secretly push the plot forward, perhaps to explain the modern lost world in this next upcoming kirby game.

[@crimsonDestroyer]

If you use ESP's orb the intended way, you're missing out. I loved to get up in melee range and spam uncharged bursts over and over. That, plus being able to teleport out when things got hairy (or, if you're bold, pull off a powerful counter with the force of a Hammer Flip) makes ESP my favorite ability to date.

[@Skywolve1998]

I actually replayed through Robobot recently. I think one thing they could have done to make it a little better is to make an arena where fight through in the mech. Similar to how Super Star Ultra had the Helper to Hero.

[@Socioromanticism]

Perhaps I've missed it in other Kirby videos, but I do appreciate the analysis of the music. Even if you feel like it's not super in-depth, any attention given to already great tunes lets me revisit them and appreciate them in a different way.

[@leyacer]

I’m honestly surprised you didn’t mention how the Haltmann Works theme was used considering how much you (rightfully) gushed about the soundtrack. I loved how each level map theme and the standard boss theme was a remix of it! To me it really sold how completely the company had taken over Pop Star and changed it. And it’s just insanely catchy, I can’t humming along sometimes.

[@someguydownthestreet206]

Great way to end the day. Planet Robobot left an impact to me out of every other modern Kirby game (with the exception of RtDL of course), love your explanations!

[@fernando98322]

I'm so glad someone else other than me considers the D3 Cannon battle theme the best rendition of King Dedede's theme. The beautiful transition to My friends and the Setting Sun, also a reference to Revenge of the King's ending, made me so nostalgic. Robobot was truly the greatest gift in the Kirby franchise. The final boss sequence is insane still to this day.

[@Doobie-kx8fk]

10:04 A shame this boss that doesn't fight like Pix in the slightest uses bosses that you've seen recently. That being Kracko and Coily Rattler when you just fought a game ago. Then there's also Queen Sectonia who's in the same boat and Kracko and CR. And in my opinion, Galacta Knight hits a bit too close to his RtD fight, but his entire thing is just showing at times, so I can let it slide. Now there's also the Dedede clones, but I like this boss as the multiple Dededes constantly chasing you is a unique spin on D3 fights. There's also the case of two of the fights you do earlier in the game having a better or easier fight that's similar. Haltmann is Susie's fight but better and Mecha Knight+ is easier due to the tail making him really slow. Besides that, I think the bosses in this game are definitely the best the series has had. (Aside from late game bosses in the other games. They're on par with those). Even with some fights being similar to others they're still loads of fun.

[@ivoryvt]

This game is the best 2D Platformer I have ever played, and considering Kirby is going 3D now, it'll likely remain that way for a long while.

[@nascour5991]

Planet Robobot is currently my favorite Kirby game glad to see it getting some love. It's the only Kirby game where I still haven't beaten the true arena lmao. Edit: I finally fucking beat it, thank God for amiibos and video guides showing me how to avoid heart of novas final attack

[@steamgrilled7]

a couple copy abilities that i usually use to beat the true arena are: hammer, you can spam its B attack and it absolutely chips down, and then midair b for the flying enemies. doctor healmore is also great since it's dash + jump + hold b attack (jar of pills as i like to call it) does incredible damage. not only that, but his potion attack and side b has great s and side b is quite spammable too.

I absolutely love this game and it's my second favourite Kirby game behind Return to Dreamland. The levels are super interesting, the Robobot armor has to be the best modern gimmick the story's cool and the music (as usual) is fantastic. One thing I'll never forget though is the True Arena. It is absolutely soul crushing. I've beaten every True Arena type mode with I'd say at most 20 tries. This one had me going for weeks with no avail. I always made one stupid slip up that cost me a run. It got so bad that I shamelessly cheesed with Stone and almost one if it weren't for Star Dreams last attack that takes like 7/8 of your health. After that I dropped the game, lost it and am now haunted by the eternal 99% completion.

[@yuurou7927]

Great video. A little bit of correction, Star Dream soul's last ditch attack actually doesn't 1HKO you, it just does -- wait for it -- 90% of your health bar. I beat it with full health just to test how much damage it does. Might as well be 1HKO but at least if you do perfectly you can afford 1 hit.

[@Poyostar]

Well, I suppose this means that Triple Deluxe may not be getting a video of its own... But hey, Planet Robobot is an incredible game in its own right, so I'm not really mad about this at all. Both Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot are truly great highlights in the 3DS' long library, especially since there aren't a whole lot of quality 2D platformers on the system, and the both of them are easily amongst the best the Kirby series has to offer. I will say though that I really don't like how all the new lore we got in Planet Robobot was handled. I'm not going to go into it too much, but if you know... well, you know. Nevertheless, Planet Robobot is absolutely amazing, and this video does more than a good job going over just why that is. Great work as always, Monger!

[@IAteABox]

Planet Robobot was definitely my favorite entry in the franchise before Forgotten Land. The environments were fantastic, the music slapped, the puzzles were clever, the bosses were challenging and engaging, it was overall the peak of Kirby for its time in my eyes. I often found myself comparing Forgotten Land to this game on how good it is as an entry to the Kirby Franchise, and I’m going to admit, it may as well have bested this one as the new best Kirby game.

Haltman's story is truly tragic He was a cold calculating president of a company but loved his daughter more than anything. Thought she died during an accident and tried to use a God Machine to bring her back even though she was actually alive. Either from the error loop or Star Dream's nature itself, it corrupted him and he lost his memories until he couldn't even remember why he wanted to expand his company nor truly remember his daughter when she returned. Then in a mad gambit to use more of Star Dream's processing power instead had his consciousness/soul absorbed by it. Then in the true final boss fight whatever remains of him is deleted and/or destroyed along with the infernal computer. Just your standard Kirby lore

A lot of the comments give shine to the robobot and star dream, but I want to give my appreciation to Haltmann. I feel he is a well written villain that sadly gets overshadowed often. Sure, a lot of his lore is from… miiverse. But I feel compiling it together we have an empathetic story of a father who’s grief has taken control of him to the extreme. He’s insane, but he’s also insanely intelligent. It’s not mentioned much that he managed to understand *most* of the technology to make a Nova. That’s impressive. Thanks miiverse for saying true arena isn’t canon but I feel noting that one of the descriptions for Star Dream Soul OS credit a fraction of Haltmann’s soul being active enough to throw a wrench in the machines plans. Without him, in a way, Kirby would of never been able to truly defeat Star Dream. A grim sense of final realization of the memories that were taken from him now that he’s one with the machine that took him. Small bonus: the shrieks of agony you hear from him while destroying the final parts of Star Dream Soul OS (the galactic nova homage part) is *genuinely terrifying* and it is even more grim as the pause screen after destroying all of them states *haltmann is no more.*

[@kingnewcomer2029]

Excellent review once again, Monger! I absolutely agree that Robobo Planet is by far the best modern 2D game in the series (so far)! :D I LOVE the Robobo Armor, it definitely gives a fresh new take on the traditional formula of the franchise, it can even regain its own Copy Ability design, as well as being able to use them to solve puzzles, which is just awesome (I do wish it could've used the other abilities in the game though, it can't even use the other 2 newcomer Copies, Doctor, and Poison. Imagine what those, along with Whip, Crash, Archer, Hammer, Mirror, Ninja, Smash Brothers, etc. would look like, even Sleep)! Fantastic soundtrack! Tragic story. A better use of the secondary collectable (even if it's still annoying to get all of them, minus the rare ones hidden in each level)! And it all leads to a bittersweet 100% reward! I will agree that the True Boss Battle Endurance is by far the worst part of the game. Roughly 9-12 minutes of the mode is already wasted on the 3 Star Dreams fights that didn't even originally exist in other modes, it drags for like a half-hour, and worst of all; if you get hit by any of Star Dream Soul OS's heart's set of waves, it's an instant death, and you have to redo that entire, frustrating slog all over AGAIN...! 20-30 minutes of your life wasted... Other than that though, it's not that bad. I also wish that this game could've been on the Wii U since that console lacked a main series Kirby title much like the GameCube did (not that it matters too much as long as the game's good, but still). A shame Star Allies didn't live up to the same level as RP, but it's still a fantastic entry too! Discovery is already looking like it could top this game, let's hope that the first official 3D Kirby game does just that, and then some!

[@EternalTheMandarinGoddess]

Nobody's ever changing my mind about Return to Dreamland being the best, but MAN. I had honestly forgot just how phenomenal this game was. I should totally replay it once I'm finished devouring the forgotten land!

Planet Robobot's soundtrack will always have a special place in my heart, mostly because of how SiIvaGunner used it a ton for their Reboot and CCC

[@rainfall8949]

Yeeeeees! Planet Robobot is my favorite Kirby game of all time. I enjoyed the layer of puzzle-solving the robobot armor brought. The levels were beautiful and memorable and the bosses were one of my favorite parts as well.

I remember playing the True Arena I just gimped with stone... I got all the way to the final fight... Only to die to the only attack that hits Kirby while in stone. Spent 20 minutes recovering.

[@TheGreenManThom]

spilled my coffee with the transition to skillshare add in laughter, ya got me. Man I love robobot. Possibly my favourite kirby game so far. The amount of hype the end generates is just too much.

[@gabrielsingal209]

5:35 I laughed at this bc it's true

[@joeysmith1077]

Still think Computer Virus should have been in the game as a boss.

[@The-devour-of-light]

Um how do I say this. Ok my dog straight up ate my cartridge not joking MY DOG ATE IT.

[@fishncat1773]

uhh… rip?

[@MaxEvans-cc4fm]

Yes. YES. This game was my childhood and I still play it today

[@GoldStorm07]

This game, Super Star Ultra and Air Ride are the peak of quality for the series in my opinion. Robobot is my personal favourite Kirby game as the level design is refined so much and its roster of abilities is top-notch.

[@amongstsus9201]

that was such a smoothe and well-implemented ad read

[@Happywaffle1010]

ahhhh i forgot about the ice cream levels the level design and atheistic in robobot is BEAUTIFUL

[@Officewaffle]

I can confirm, planet Robobot was my second game in the series behind star allies and it is by far my favorite in the franchise. It's still amazing even without the fan service.

[@Im_very_hungry]

14:00 the theme is actually from super star ultra "the king and the sun" So you may need to fix it I had to turn on my ds to find this

[@turkeysandwich1703]

Planet Robobot has to be my favorite Kirby game and I really only have one gripe with it (which is only a nitpick at best) and it’s how Haltmann’s theme is incorporated into almost every song, and most songs were already techno so I just felt that every song sounded the same BUT! City of Sound is my favorite song in all of Kirby and there is quite literally no world in all of Kirby history that compares to the beauty that is Rhythm Route, I will die on this hill!

[@theholyketchup6445]

Don't wanna be that person but If you have full hp or just close enough to full HP, you are able to survive one of the blasts from Star Dream Soul OS. If you want proof, johneawesome got hit by the attack and lived on close enough to full HP.

[@Chinarider1972]

This guy’s description of Poison gave me a new head canon. And along with that, it actually might be true! Water Galboros and Miasmoros look eerily similar in my eyes, they were polluted by the mechanization like how Water gets polluted in real life, now Water is the Poison ability, pretty dark but also interesting.

[@Syrius_Li]

This is one of my favourite kirby games, not expecting it but kinda want a port to the switch

[@bouncyboi3488]

3:26 I've played this game to death, I know most of the lore, I've played most of the Kirby games to death, my favorite character in all of fiction IS kirby (dedede too) and how in the hell did I never notice HOW MUCH THIS MADE SENSE

[@p.kirbyash7508]

I would like to say that Kirby Planet Robobot was the game that made me learn how to play games. It was the first game I ever 100% though I had to use the UFO ability at the Nova Core. I also got all but one collectible without looking up a guide. I truly think that this game is what made me take off the training wheels, as before I played it, I remember struggling in Kirby’s Dreamland. The first game. This game also solidifies the 3DS as one of the best consoles of all time in my mind. Also, the PSI ability was my favorite, though I loved all the robot armor transformations, as they all felt powerful. As someone who did not get any of the references, I will say that I still loved them as (to me) original things. The only game that rivals it in the top spot is Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Third is super star deluxe.

[@TheMarionick]

Kirby has finally gone 3D, but Planet Robobot might still be my favorite of the Kirby's I've played.

[@السراقالمجهول]

you use the guard? youre a mad lad!

[@7rkdn427]

That's gotta be the smoothest sponsor transition I've ever seen.

[@StartouchArts]

Robobot is absolutely fantastic. An interesting twist and the Kirby norm with its heavy mechanical theme, a RIDICULOUSLY HARD True Arena, and introducing my favorite Copy Ability in the franchise: Poison. I will say it as many times as I have to, Poison is immensely powerful but everyone sleeps on it; with all 3 puddles and 2 clouds and your own strong attacks, Poison does as much damage as Hammer and Fighter, if not more. No other Copy Ability has damage over time effects, which means Poison's playstyle is completely unique and requires much more forethought than other abilities, as you need to anticipate where the boss is right now AND where it's going to be to effectively place your clouds and puddles of poison as well as continuing your own onslaught.
