Top Five Scariest Kirby Moments

[@usamimi-no-majo]

Kirby is a good example of what Don Bluth once said: "Kids can handle anything as long as it has a happy ending."

Says the guy who made me weep my eyes out at the end of All Dogs Go To Heaven! Oh wait, even that had an upbeat song in the credits. WELL FUCK EVERYTHING THEN! Besides, he also made The Secret of NIMH and that is the scariest thing he's made. Don't think I'll forget that fact!

[@weirdalexander8193]

It did make his wish come true, but stardream was essentially a monkey’s paw, so be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

[@enlongjones2394]

@@weirdalexander8193 I think the implication is that Susie wasn’t killed in that accident, only sent away. So the reason Star Dream didn’t fulfill his wish is because she wasn’t dead to begin with, and he never knew it.

[@FrahdChikun]

@@enlongjones2394 Correct. Susie was merely teleported to Another Dimension, the same one Kirby and co. venture into in RtDL and Star Allies. We know this because the pause description for Holo-Doomers 2.0 state that they were based on Susie's field report on them when she traveled to Another Dimension. As for how long she was trapped inside there and how she get back is up for debate. Personally my headcanon is that she most likely hitched a ride back home with Magolor and the Lor Starcutter, since there's a chance you can see the Lor while fighting Galacta Knight (it has a chance to appear in his attack where he rips a tear into Another Dimension).

[@ammaryt1186]

Nova: Am I a joke to you

[@JAnne_Bonne]

My favorite thing about Void Termina is that it goes in the opposite direction most Kirby games do with “Soul” bosses. The main story ends with Void Soul and the True Arena ends with just Void. The fact that the boss has Kirby’s face while using attacks from Dark Mind, Drawcia Soul, and Zero is also… concerning. Not mention how beating Void unlocks Classic Kirby/Kirb and Void is white like the GB games and has snippets of that old chiptune in the last phase of the fight if you don’t KO it fast enough.

[@LiPolygon]

Sometimes I think us kirby fans overstate the "dark" aspects of the franchise, then I remember Zero's bloody eye ripping itself out of its body as a last ditch effort to kill kirby and President haltmann's screams as the last of his soul is erased by star dream and then I stop thinking that. Also We've known that Humanity is dead in the Kirby Universe since Kirby 64, Shiver Star is literally a dead frozen Earth. So i think Kirby and the Forgotten Land takesplace somewhere else, Maybe the Ancient's home world.

[@arkhamknight620]

You’re not wrong when you said that some (keyword) Kirby fans tend to overhype how dark the series. Kirby getting dark isn’t really that special at first since other game franchises have gone the same road, however it’s the contrast between Kirby’s lighthearted nature and the abomination at the end that makes Kirby a little more significant.

Somehow, despite all of these, Kirby is still the scariest thing in the franchise. Conceptually at least.

The fact that Kirby is basically a purified baby version of some sort of omnipotent Eldritch Abomination is its way cooler and scarier than it has any right to be.

Kirby, eater of worlds, the endless void

[@griefingg0lem685]

Surprised with Void, you didn't mention how in the True True Final Boss of the game's Ultimate Challenge becomes Astral Birth Void, which has the description read "The final battle at hand, Void takes his first steps toward a new age. In place of tyrannical rage, will he find... naptime? Gentle breezes? Treats? He may even dream again... a dream of friends reunited!", truly indicating this could be where Kirby comes from, including that the song includes Green Green in a somber part.

[@AGAMER360]

There’s a connection that All the bosses and villains we faced(specifically dark matter and dark nebula) are born from negative energy. That’s where void comes from. However, they are reincarnated from the positive energy which is everything Kirby has.

I think the dripping aesthetic is meant to mimic melting. Which for a living creature, is pretty unsettling, and helps show how otherworldly the bosses end up at the end.

[@kayleighbrown459]

My first Kirby game was Star allies and I have to say, as someone who had no prior knowledge about this franchise outside smash, going from befriending cute little characters going to the utter lovecraftian madness that it ended up being, caught me a little off guard.

it really helped put it back in perspective for me when i got to the ending and realized the very heavy-handed implication of shiver star being a snowy, robot-covered post-apocalypse version of earth isn't even something i'd really put over any of these for this top 5

[@bluestreaker9242]

You could say Void brings things...full circle. ;) Also, fun fact about Drawcia Soul: this is the first instance of a Soul boss in Kirby games, and the ONLY instance thus far of it being the final phase of the final boss of the main story instead of the True Arena sub games. I only recently played through Canvas Curse and...yeah...gotta say, World of Drawcia is kinda fucked up; like, admittedly, the theme can be kinda migraine inducing, but when you delve in to the implications of this world and its sterile, empty theme, it paints a very sinister image on what WILL happen to ALL worlds if you don't stop Drawcia here and now! O.O

[@dadekuscrub2040]

Wasn't Magalor Soul a the final boss of the main story as well?

[@bluestreaker9242]

@@dadekuscrub2040 I do love how Kirby games, when they ramp up the difficulty, don't just give the boss a new skin and make them faster; they actually give the bosses new attacks and change up their patterns, thus you have to learn a brand new boss. That's something I admire with the boss design in Kirby games and why I feel Kirby rarely ever delivers a bad game; hell, imho, the WORST Kirby has ever done was just being mediocre, which if that's the WORST Kirby can do, that speaks volumes of the quality of the franchise and why I love it so much! :D

Same here.

[@sajibprobably230]

In contrast with "dark/disturbing Mario moments" lists, I haven't seen that many for Kirby. Maybe it's because there are a lot of "obvious" candidates but, I wouldn't really know. Then again I can't tell if "scariest moments in Kirby" lists would be more or less repetitive than a list for Mario on the same topic...

[@SolstaceWinters]

I feel there would be more moments in Mario, just by virtue that there are MANY more Mario games than Kirby games, and that alone would give Mario more opportunities for scary/disturbing moments. That, and Kirby games generally only get creepy late-game or as bonus post-game content. So while Kirby games get like 1-2 moments per game, Mario has the potential for many more, depending on how heavily you wanna interpret things going on in each game.

[@sajibprobably230]

@@SolstaceWinters Ah, that makes sense. I guess thought there would be a few levels or moments that could have made people jump from before the ends of Kirby games. But chances are those moments might not be considered "scary". And in contrast with the number of Mario games, yeah, it really might not fair to compare the two. Fair point.

[@troykv96]

Also, it's kind of fun to think about the implication that Void also creates of being connected to the Dark Matters (specially because the lore dump the Cult Leader throws, Void taking attacks of several Dark-related enemies and the subtle nods to Dream Land 3 in Astral Birth Void's introduction)

[@claytonrios1]

I think Kirby himself could work as a horror movie character with a few tweeks honestly.

[@LordofSadFac]

Maybe it could work as an horror parody of ET. Take Brightburn as an example of how to do it, as it is a horror parody of Superman, by making him some sort of slightly ugly looking but innocent and clumsy alien, and slowly make things spiral out of control.

About Void Termina. YES KIRBY IS ANOTHER VOID TERMINA! This has been confirmed. And also is IMMORTAL. Infact the pure hearts are all fragments of Termina, so is 02 and several of the other bad guys Kirby faces. But heres the twist. The pink heart that hits Kirby at the intro is a GOOD FRAGMENT OF VOID! It is revealed Void Termina isn't good or evil. It depends how he is summoned. Considering the cult who summoned him was VENGEFULL for being sealed away and forgotten... Void Termina became evil. Things like 0 are the darkness of void that is done by those who have hatred. But if a void termina is summoned while with good in the heart... you get Kirby... But Meta Knight is a black Kirby right? Yes he is. And guess what.. he is probaly a neutral void termina. Probaly summoned by someone strong and wise. And what about Galacta Knight and Morpho Knight? Same thing... Void Terminas summoned and fragmented. There is still enough unexplained.. but Void Termina is the god that shaped the Master Crown, The civilisation surrounded by it that made the Star Rod, Heart Rod, Lore Starcutter and more. And there is even more implications like alternate dimensions and such. But Void Termina in the end.. is the NATURAL END OF THE UNIVERSE! ...Kirby... inhaling.. is infact... the imploding force of the universe ending. YIKES!

[@SolstaceWinters]

I was jamming out to some video game music and youtube, as it does, recommended a random video vaguely related to what I was listening to (Celeste's soundtrack at the time). It suggested Kirby Star Allies's "Astral Soul Void" theme. Now I love Kirby games, but I haven't played one since Return to Dreamland (with Magalor). So I was out of the loop for a while. But while jamming to this theme, it started shifting to an 8-bit theme, that sounded freakishly close to the original Kirby (Gameboy) theme. And I'd already heard that the boss had a bit that looked like Kirby in it, leading to wild theory-crafting. But this single moment has led me down a spiral of trying to catch up on kirby games, playing through them as best as I can, with friends as possible. (My sister and I just beat Amazing Mirror again, on refurbished GBAs my brother upgraded). I *AM* stuck in the Kirby Lore spiral, and I'm enjoying playing these again. Just need to find a means to play Rainbow Curse, Robobot, Triple Star Deluxe, and Star Allies.

One thing about Star Dream Soul OS is when you destroy all the pillars, the pause description changes. Earlier in the fight, the description is this. "The final program has been activated. Its calculated victory probability is 99.9%. However, a small part of Haltmann's soul is yet to be purged, which could throw a wrench in its plans.” But when you destroy all the pillars, it changes to this. "All of Haltmann's memories have been deleted from the OS. Even his soul--the last trace of Haltmann--has vanished. Star Dream has gone from a near-perfect being to a cold, mindless machine." So yeah, Kirby wipes Haltmann from existence. It's really messed up.

yeeeah~ you keep forgetting that Kirby, the cute pink puffball has some of the visually creepy main antagonists in Nintendo's library of villains! grant it, games like Metroid or even Pikmin have some very unsettling opponents, but those kind of lean you into those, more so one than the other, but Kirby kind of just has this cute factor up till the final bosses and even the harder boss rush mode where it goes from like a 2 to 3 to a 1,000! i think the first time i saw something alittle off in Kirby was Crystal Shard cause Zero in that is pretty ****ing freaky! don't say Nintendo can't pull off creepy. they have for years.

A note about Void Termina: in the True true Arena (since the game had an extra on added after the final update which is FREAKING HARD MIND YOU and also not called The Arena but whatever), Void Termina's true form aka the Kirby face is white and just known as Void. There's a point during the music theme where Greens Greens is played, which is the franchise's principal leitmotif and can be considered Kirby's theme. It's implied that if Void Termina becomes good... you get Kirby. If not.. you get Dark Matter or something? Kirby lore is amazing and I can't wait for The Forgotten Land next year

Headcanon: Modern Kirby and OG Kirby are not the same Kirby and Void Termina/Void is OG Kirby. Evidence: • You unlock OG Kirby upon beating the True Arena on Max Difficulty. • Snippets of Green Greens from Kirby's Dreamland from the GBA can be heard in the background of the final phase of Void's boss fight in True Arena. • Void's color scheme during the Campaign is vaguely similar to Kirby (it's most prominently pink and fuchsia) while it's appearance during the True Arena is white, black and grey. You know who else was white, black, and grey during their first adventure? That's what I have so far. There's probably more things pointing towards this being the case, but I've yet to come across it yet.

As he traveled the skies in search of the perfect gift, he found something that would possibly please her: a beautiful golden mirror. Little did he know, this was the fabled Dimension Mirror, the gateway to the Mirror Dimension. It was also a prison that held a dangerous force... Dark Meta Knight Taranza presented the mirror as a gift to Sectonia, who loved it! She spent day after day, month after month, year after year gazing into it, becoming obsessed with being the most beautiful entity in the universe. As she gazed into it, the mirror slowly corrupted her being to the point she was unrecognizable from her previous form. Her appearance wasn't the only thing that changed, however... she became a monarch and imprisoned the People of the Sky. She didn't even see Taranza as a friend anymore, she only saw him as a puppet. In the end, she lost all of her humanity, and all she had left to cling on was her vanity. After she was defeated by Kirby, she turned into the Dream Stalk, fully in bloom. She got her wish in the end, but at what cost?

"Okay, so we should give these kids a reward for their efforts, right? What do you propose, Mister Sakurai?" "A healthy dose of trauma sounds good to me!"

Haha. You really didn't even touch on void termina that much. It *is* kirby, it's a kirby born of hatred and anger unable to feel any emotions other than rage and the desire to destroy. That's truly the scariest part of this is seeing what would have happened had Kirby not been born on a place as cute and cuddly as dreamland.

With Void Termina, when you fight him the second and third time in the second highest and highest difficulty in the ultimate choice it brings up even more questions as well. The second time around you fight void soul which is a bit more like Zero and Dark Matter, and the third time with Astral Birth Void, it brings a lot of the Zero out. When you defeat it, you unlock the original kirby skin. I always wondered about Astral Birth Void, since it seemed like if it were to learn to have positive emotions, would it become Kirby, and if it learned negative emotions, would it become Zero?
