    "We need to get Donny moving" "Finish what we started. The longer you wait, the worse it might get." It sounds to me like the entity is not in control of the virus itself, and is in fact keeping tabs on it. Donny is trying to convince his boss that the virus is a problem that needs dealing with, but with the launch proceeding as scheduled, the virus is spreading rapidly. I think the entity's appearance in the first scene wasn't him luring in a victim, but rather him trying to scare off a potential victim. Meanwhile, Donny is trying to figure out how to fully implement the entity within the game so that it can stop the virus. Something which the system is blocking him from doing as is shown in the final scene.

    I find it interesting the creator chose Super star as a medium for this story, when the virus shares traits with dark matter, yet is in one of the few Kirby games to not have a form of dark matter’s influence. (Not counting the lore introduced in returns and onward) Super star was probably chosen due to the advert, the game being the most recognisable and nostalgic for a lot people, and just the fact there’s a lot more visual variety you could do with it. The virus’s similarity to dark matter might be a coincidence but it’s still interesting.

  • @PixelsAfterDark

    So an interesting theory I had that I would have explored if the series gave me any indication was that the virus’s true origins being leftover files of dark matter. Kirby superstar conveniently takes place right in the middle of the dark matter trilogy, and maybe due to the recent developments, Dark matter was thrown in by accident and without any actual purpose.

    Interestingly enough, Kirby lore, the actual lore not this creepypasta lore, states that Kirby is able to do what he does because he possesses "infinite energy." Since these kids are NOT Kirby and just look like Kirby, naturally they wouldn't possess this and thus be unable to do it. It would also explain the random dead Kirby in the first video. He ran out of energy and died.

The sprite work is really good, and I'm interested in seeing where the story goes from here. As for theories, I feel like Meta Knight being shown as someone in the story (possibly a police officer) means something. Is he possibly related to the second victim Ryan? Either way, this series looks awesome so far!

    Honestly, I consider this to be a classic "game becomes sentient" story, but it's done better than most. Someone, or something, put a unique piece of game code into Kirby Super Star during development. This code quickly became aware of it's own existence, being helped by one of the game's developers, which found the code and gave it a name (Hence TMK, since the original file is TMK.EXE). The code ends up rapidly increasing in cognition, and before long can remember the dev that found it. The dev lets the project lead know about this "bug", but he brushes it off since it's a "one-in-a-million" thing. His mood changes once his son is affected, who soon perishes due to TMK, and that catches up to the story so far. Although there are still questions. For one, why is this dev helping TMK? Seems counter-productive to put a malicious superintelligence into your mass-produced game. For some reason, this _thing_ seems to kill people, probably it trying to _control_ them through subliminal messaging and other techniques to mess with people's thoughts. In one bit, TMK tries to tell one of them to carve something on his arm, just three letters, and I bet we can guess what those letters are. Gives me the idea that TMK's trying to make itself known? Trying to escape the coded prison it's within? Who knows, we'll need to wait. Sudden Quick Edit: Actually, after watching the videos over again, seems like his true goal is to find his purpose, and this somehow involves killing. This somehow gives me more questions than answers...

    @JELLY The Tirant if I remember correctly kirby is also made out of void, but because he is nurtured in dreamland he absorbed positive energy and become (arguably) good. Void termina is nurtured through worship, sacrfices, and dark energy. While goopy/gooey is somewhat neutral (guessing it got relatively equal parts of both) and trying to find its purpose Also according to the void termina description: “... he has finally arrived. And now, he has begun to feel. To desire. To think. Within the void, there lurks...a Soul” so yeah the bug being a new “stray” dark matter that experience existential crisis and manages to reach beyond the screen fits the lore of kirby canon

    These kirby horror videos just tug and tug relentlessly at nostalgia. When I was a lot younger, maybe 6, the only game I played on my DS was Kirby Super Star Ultra. I've beat all of the different modes hundreds of times. This has brought back memories that were lost. I fucking miss those days, getting back from school after a not so stressful day of first grade, playing kirby until I inevitably passed out while playing. Fuck.

    Along with the story, another thing I really like about the series is the art style. A lot of series like this usually stick to a very jittery, kind of stuttering style of animation, when it comes to images like the ones in this series at least. But this one has a lot of smooth and flexible but quickly paced movements, even if they're slight. I think it makes it look both more cartoony, yet also weirdly uncanny, especially since you don't usually see such animation styles in media like this.
