Rainbow Route

RAINBOW ROUTE

Perhaps the most iconic location in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror is a sort of central hub world full of mirrors that Kirby has to cross back and forth through at multiple points.

The stage would literally be set within this world, in the main plaza area where the titular mirror is front and center. Here and there, enemies and characters from the game would be reflected in these mirrors, but it would be otherwise peaceful.

Wiz

WIZ

Though like most full bosses, Wiz does not provide a copy ability, he too best represents the Magic ability by being a literal walking amalgamation of the moveset, a magician’s hat and cape that attacks by performing magic tricks.

As a fighter, Wiz will be on the slippery side with high defense. He will be an echo of Boxy, pulling his moves from the Magic ability itself.

Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen.

Boxy

BOXY

One of the only contributors of Amazing Mirror’s magic ability comes in the form of the midboss Boxy, a living present that likes to cough up other presents at you.

As a fighter, it will bounce around along the ground, making it a bit slow, with a bit of a randomized aspect to its present-based attacks. Its moveset will pull from the Magic ability.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Box Boxer

BOX BOXER

Another mid-boss first appearing in the Amazing Mirror is a droopy hound dog that likes to fight with its ears named Box Boxer. Just like Knuckle Joe, it tends to supply the Fighter ability.

As a fighter, it will be strong and fast, if a bit slower than Knuckle Joe. It will be an echo of said character, with its moveset pulling from the Fighter ability.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Foley

FOLEY

Though the Poppy Bros. are the best when it comes to the Bomb ability, another rivals it in terms of appearances providing it, and that is the Foley, a flying turnip sort of creature that drops bombs from above.

As a fighter, Foley will have good aerials and explosive attacks, but not much else giving it a boost in stats. Its moveset will pull from all aspects of the Bomb ability.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Phan Phan

PHAN PHAN

Starting in the remake, Kirby’s Nightmare in Dream Land, a new recurring mid-boss appeared in the form of Phan Phan, a large two-legged elephant that tends to roll around and attack with its trunk.

As a fighter, Phan Phan will be big, heavy, and powerful, rampaging around the stage with its massive size. Its moveset will pull from its boss battles as well as its appearance in the anime.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.

Tick

TICK

Though Captain Stitch worked well to represent the Gordo enemy, throughout most of the series, the Needle ability is most often provided by a little white blob called Tick.

As a fighter, Tick will be fairly slow and weak, making up for it with its high defense and piercing projectiles. Its moveset will pull from the Needle ability in all its forms.

Likelihood rating: Probably not.

Simirror

SIMIRROR

A rare but rather unique copy ability cropping up on occasion is the Mirror ability, which lends Kirby a certain amount of defense but also some good offense and projectiles. This ability is best represented by Simirror.

As a fighter, Simirror will have the highest defense stat, but some good offense as well. Its moveset will pull straight from the Mirror ability wherever it crops up.

Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen.

UFO

UFO

A rather unique ability of Kirby’s is his UFO ability, which lets him fly around and shoot lasers. This ability is most often provided by the aptly named UFO enemy, which looks just like you’d expect it to.

As a fighter, the UFO will have good aerials and projectiles, its moveset pulling from the various aspects of the UFO ability.

Likelihood rating: Never gonna happen.

Dark Mind

DARK MIND

Upon your final defeat of Dark Meta Knight, a portal will open, taking you to your final boss fight.

This is Dark Mind, a powerful deity seeking to rule the mirror world. He is very similar in nature and concept to Dark Matter, though the relationship between the two is unclear. (Personally, I believe him to be the mirror version of Dark Matter)

As a fighter, Dark Matter will be powerful and highly defensive, with a moveset pulling from his boss battle in this game.

Likelihood rating: Piranha Plant clause.

Dark Meta Knight

DARK META KNIGHT

In the next game, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, the story begins with strange occurrences happening related to the mirrors of Dream Land. Meta Knight investigates, flying into a mirror world portal in the sky. Later Kirby finds himself attacked by a dark version of Meta Knight.

This is Dark Meta Knight, an evil reflection of Meta Knight and a major boss throughout the game. He was responsible for splitting Kirby into four at the start of the game, and spends most of the game hounding the four Kirbys at the command of Dark Mind.

As a fighter, Dark Meta Knight will be similar in all aspects to Meta Knight. However, his moveset will pull from his own abilities as well as those shown in later games, most of which are heavily mirror-inspired.

Likelihood rating: Could happen.

Meta Knight

META KNIGHT

Though Kirby’s Dream Land was the first game, many often view Kirby’s Adventure as the progenitor of most of the standard Kirby tropes, like copy abilities and King Dedede only being a fake-out villain. This time around, King Dedede has stolen the magical Star Rod from the Fountain of Dreams, cutting off Dream Land’s supply of them. Kirby sets out to take it back, only to be challenged by a shadowy knight with a golden sword.

This is Meta Knight, a warrior serving under King Dedede, who would likewise return again and again as a boss, but rarely as a true villain, instead being more a loyal protector of Dream Land who clashes with Kirby in service of his duty, or simply in search of a challenge.

As a fighter, he would be primarily a sword fighter, with quick moves that deal a lot of damage and a good aerial kit. His moveset would pull from all of his various battles in the series.

Likelihood rating: Already in.

Kirby and the Amazing Mirror

KIRBY AND THE AMAZING MIRROR

Now let's move on to the second half of the mainline Kirby games, starting with Kirby and the Amazing Mirror for the Game Boy Advance. A strange mirror appears in the skies over Dream Land. Meta Knight heads in to investigate, while a new Dark Meta Knight emerges and splits Kirby into four, leading them inside in the subsequent chase.

Kirby, or our four Kirby's, are our main characters, with all the basics of Kirby under his belt. There's also Shadow Kirby, but he's more friendly than anything, just popping up here and there. Kirby's new copy abilities include: Cupid, giving him wings and arrows to shoot; Magic, which lets Kirby play roulette to get a random item, copy ability, or to become invincible; Master, which is a more powerful Sword gained from Meta Knight; Mini, which shrinks him down; Missile, which turns him into a missile; and Smash, which gives him a recreation of his moveset from the Smash series. His returning abilities are Beam, Bomb, Burning, Cook, Crash, Cutter, Fighter, Fire, Hammer, Ice, Laser, Parasol, Sleep, Spark, Stone, Sword, Throw, Tornado, UFO, and Wheel, which are all standard in their use.

Meta Knight is our main support character, flying into the mirror early on and seemingly disappearing. "He" appears at one point to challenge you, but that is soon revealed to be Dark Meta Knight in disguise. During Dark Meta Knight's battle, he attacks with his sword like Meta Knight, but also sends out energy waves from his sword, and creates a massive tornado at one point.

In the end, the true villain is revealed to be Dark Mind, a being from the mirror dimension who seems to be related to Dark Matter at any rate. In his first battle where he resembles Nightmare, he can teleport and shoot star bullets, use mirrors to attack, and drops a disco ball that explodes. Then he transforms into a giant eye like Zero, during which he fires lasers and summons smaller enemies.

The other bosses include King Golem, a giant living tower similar to Whispy Woods who drops rocks and enemies on Kirby. Then we have Moley, who pops out of burrows and throws things at Kirby. Then we have Kracko, attacking with eye beams and rain. Then we have Mega Titan, who sends his four fists at you, detaches his head, and shoots missiles. Gobbler is a shark who charges at Kirby and spits out smaller sharks. Wiz is a magician who can summon various enemies and items from his hat. Then we have Master Hand and Crazy Hand from Smash, who will slam, grab Kirby, shoot him with finger guns, and clap together.

The mini-bosses include: Batafire, a large flaming bat that can spit fireballs; Bombar, a plane that shoots missiles and drops bombs; Bonkers, with his standard moveset; Box Boxer, a dog that punches, tosses, and fires energy blasts; Boxy, a living present that spits smaller presents; Mr. Frosty, with his same ice cube tactics; and Phan Phan, an elephant that rolls around and tosses Kirby with its trunk.

Non-copy enemies include the returning Waddle Dee, Blipper, Bronto Burt, Glunk, Gordo, Scarfy, and Squishy, with the newcomers Blockin, Chip, Droppy, Haley, Jack, Leap, Mirra, Prank, Roly Poly, Shooty, Snooter, and Soarar.

The stages are arranged in an almost Metroidvania style, with a bunch of levels accessible through a central hall full of mirrors called Rainbow Route (guess what I'm using as the representative stage!), while the others include: Moonlight Mansion, a haunted level; Cabbage Cavern, an underground level; Mustard Mountain, a volcanic level; Carrot Castle, a castle level; Olive Ocean, a beach level; Peppermint Palace, an ice level; Radish Ruins, a desert level; Candy Constellation, a space level; and Dimension Mirror is the final location where you fight Dark Mind.

Items in the game include 1-Ups, Area Maps, Batteries, Candy, Energy Drinks, Food, Maxim Tomatoes, Notes, Sounds, Sound Players, Spray Paint, Vitality, and World Maps.
