Evolution of Galactic Nova in Kirby Games (1996-2023)

[@GoldLight73]

You know, I always appreciated that Nova bothered to give Meta Knight Galacta Knight's backstory. He didn't have to, he could have just summoned the guy then and there, but nah he gives MK a little warning first. "I'm gonna summon this dude who was sealed away a long time ago because he was too strong. Anyways have fun."

[@sperryyoungerjr.3985]

From a gameplay and lore standpoint, I can see why he is explaining this. Perhaps Nova was warning Meta Knight about Galacta Knights' power.

[@TotherKoala]

Considering both NOVAs so far have given the same speech, perhaps it's a necessary part of the 'summon galacta knight' code line

[@AntuanNguyen123]

@@TotherKoala It's possible that since the Ancients constructed the Nova's and Galacta Knight was possibly an "Aeon Hero" for the Ancients, the Nova's would recognize him.

@Yummy_cyberpasta Comets also aren't usually made of sentient clockwork.

[@chinchinny9060]

Ya know what I always wanted? I wish the Nova could have been seen in the background during galacta knight fight I feel like that would have been so cool/creepy

[@epicloser8571]

I think there is one where you can see him in the background but I forgot I may be wrong

[@phanastro]

Considering what what happened to Star Dream after summoning Galacta knight, I think SSU's Nova knew better

[@TotherKoala]

12:23 fun fact: this sound is actually the same sound Star Dream makes when booting up in Phase 3 (seen in the ost as 'First Cry of a Newborn Star' despite being a sound effect - this applies to multiple Star Dream sfx) implying that Galactic Nova would have sounded similar if we saw him on newer hardware. Also interesting to look at the difference between the Clockwork Stars - Galactic Nova being old enough to have stories written about him specifically and the newly-born (according to the ost) Star Dream, unable to deploy fully (the thrusters on the back never appear) thanks to Haltmann's modifications. My theory is that the key in the top is what activates a Clockwork Star, and Haltmann mistakenly mechanised the key to function on its own, so its first instinct was to find a shell to link to.

[@techno1561]

Haltmann might have also not been able to replicate it completely, and just patched the gaps with his own tech, since the Star Dream Nova has some odd quirks/glitches that we don't see on Galactic Nova. The face probably isn't meant to spin like that.

[@MJMcKenzie322]

If Nova comes back, I think it should be in a different series. Imagine the villain attempting to summon an all-powerful entity from another reality, and it turns out to be Nova.

[@waffle_glutton]

Honestly, I really wish there would be a Kirby mainline game crossover, or just a crossover in general

[@samhill4294]

Going inside a planet sized machine to destroy it from within is textbook metroid

[@TotherKoala]

I can see that happening in one of Nintendo's other mainline series like Mario or Metroid, or maybe even Kid Icarus (not tloz because majoras mask happened already). Perhaps not Nova specifically but imagine a Galaxy 3 in which Bowser is standing on top of a clockwork star going like 'See this? This machine here can do anything I tell it to. So I'm telling it to destroy the Mushroom Kingdom. How do ya like that, chumps?!' For good measure, he sends Mario to the edge of the universe, where the Comet Observatory follows and picks him up after having observed the 'comet' that was actually the Clockwork Star. Since Bowser used a wish to teleport Mario far, far away, the clockwork star must recharge, and the game is a frantic race back to Earth in an effort to get back before it's ready. Meanwhile Bowser, using the remaining cosmic power contained within the clockwork star, begins to go after the Observatory himself by teleporting things, like what he did to Mario, in its path, since he believes the Observatory's Beacon holds the power he needs to get the clockwork star running again.

I know people are saying that Planet Robobot’s Star Dream *isn’t* Nova, but the one you fight as the secret boss kinda is. That one’s gold, much like Nova, even though it has Star Dream’s shell still.

[@Im_leaving]

There are multiple novas, so there isn't a single nova that's THE nova

[@Wolfofshadows952]

@@Im_leaving True, but like I said, this one does look like the one from Super Star. I wouldn’t be surprised if this one was modeled after the same one.

I could imagine if nova was actually evil and be the villain of forgotten land instead of fecto elfilis or return in a new form maybe we could learn about his backstory his origin and how he was really made in the first place that would be the coolest part maybe will be able to see what other clockwork stars look like and what makes him the important character of the franchise please Nintendo give some information about nova and his species nova is one of my favorite natural characters of kirby

That is not nova but a mechanical star known as star dream. It was first created by haltman to bring back his daughter Susie because he thought she died in an accident. But since she was still alive, Star dream glitched and is not able to create wishes like nova anymore.

[@fedethegreat88]
