My favorite part of the Fecto fight was the inversion of the isekai stereotype. People crack jokes about how many isekai are started by someone getting hit with a truck. Kirby ends his otherworldly adventure by hitting *somebody else* with a truck.

He only got an honourable mention, but what I love about Morpho Knight is the fact he reverses every classic Grim Reaper trope ever and is still terrifying. Instead of a large dark figure wrapped in a cloak surrounded by the cold wielding a dishevelled scythe, he's a tiny unsuspecting insect with bright colours, glamorous armour, a beautifully decorative sword and fire that burns like the sun.

There are certain SPANISH, CENTRAL AMERICAN and NATIVE AMERICAN Myths and Legends with the connections and associations of Butterflies, Fire, Light, and the Spirit World of the Dead and it bridging with the world of the living. Just as it is said that when each life ends, a new star is born. If a swarm of Butterflies were to ever appear moving in a peculiar or strange way seemingly as if they all were alive as one single being . . . well maybe it's no coincidence that Meta Knight was portrayed with a Spanish Accent similar to Zoro and his scrapped Beta Design was something more like . . . this. 🦋 The Ultimate Warrior in the Galaxy. The Ultimate Life Form. Seemingly always right next to if not directly on Kirby. That single creature is supposedly a being of the Day of Judgement where Fire shall rise and rain in a glowing swarm of flames in the true end result of the Butterfly Effect. It has finally shown it's face. And just shown it again. That is no coincidence. Something is coming the likes of which we've never seen before. Not even Galacta Knight or Fecto Forgo could even prepare for. Morpho Knight is getting ready to take flight. And Kirby will have to be ready.

Little misconception about Star Dream’s Heart. In reality the parts of Hartman’s Soul is exactly what’s preventing Star Dream from reaching its full potential, that’s what causes the “Fatal Error” I’m pretty sure. Star Dream needs to have Hartman’s Soul removed to achieve full power, that’s why it’s sucked Kirby up and why the heart itself did nothing at first. It tricks Kirby into destroying the parts of Star Dream that contain part’s of Hartmans Soul and each part destroyed erases a part of the soul from existence. With the last piece destroyed the heart itself is free to unleash its full wrath. While I personally prefer Sectonia for its lore, presentation, music (btw the song played is called Fatal Bloom’s at Midnight) Star Dream is way more devious, Hartman dosent even get a after life, he is litterally erased from existence. And to think that all of this stemmed from a grieving father just wanting to see his daughter again.

It's ironic that absorbing Haltman's soul led to Star Dream reaching sentience, but it throws away that soul to be more efficient and reach eternal prosperity, reverting back into a mindless, broken machine.

I want to throw this out there. I know that in terms of gameplay, Star Allies is sometimes looked down upon with how the allies kind of do everything for you. That being said, if they ever decide to do something similar to Star Allies and let you call upon old allies from said games, I would LOVE to have Elfilin be such a returning cast member to play as. Just think about it; some of the most interesting Dream Friends who came back in that game weren't the friends of Kirby, but his former enemies. Magolor, Marx, Dark Meta Knight, Daroach, etc. We had to fight these guys and deal with their crazy attacks, and now WE get to use those crazy attacks. Basically, we have Elfilin come back, using the time since we last saw him to learn to harness and use the powers of his destructive half. In other words, we can use Vecto Elfilis as a playable character. Toned down a bit, probably, but still cool. Plus, would they have Elfilin full-on transform into Elfilis as he fights, or do we get a smaller, friendlier-looking Elfilis form? Only time will tell, but playing as bosses from Kirby is SO COOL!

Master Hand And Crazy Hand (Kirby And The Amazing Mirror) Because of course Hal Labs would include a Super Smash Bros boss in a Kirby game.

An especially cool thing about Drawcia is how she paved the way for later endgames, most notably with final bosses gaining a "Soul" form of some kind (Marx, Magolor, Sectonia, etc.). Given how Shinya Kumazaki (the current Kirby director) has a thing for Lovecraftian horror (especially in some of his personal artwork, which includes Drawcia!), the writing was on the board. Also, nearly everything about Void is (perhaps intentionally) left vague. Is Void another Kirby? Is Kirby a Dark Matter turned good like Gooey? Is every villain up to this point a spawn of Void? Who knows? Star Allies is probably the closest we'll get to a straight-up Lovecraft story in a Nintendo game.

You know after all the eldritch abominations Kirby's face people sometimes forgets that hes fought all those things and hes still a baby! Like star child equivalent of an infant! 😂

Nice touch with the "computer virus" section saying the program was from Haltmann. I've heard World of Light described as "Kirby's Slightly Unusual Thursday (When Will They Learn)" and honestly, true. Man, remember when people thought it was bullshit that Death Battle had Kirby defeat Majin Buu but then Kirby only got stronger from there? Ah Magolor. Obligatory two nickles comment but something something blue and yellow "ally" ropes you into gathering artifacts of power only to betray you, change form, and smack you with a multistage boss fight that's the most memorable thing in the game while terrifying music with multiple leitmotifs plays, something something two nickles. There's a reason there's so much fan art depicting Magolor and Volo hanging out.

Fun fact, Elfilis' boss music mentions the Roche Limit, which is how close two celestial bodies, like planets, can get to each other without the one with greater gravity *tearing the other apart*.

I'm just glad we got an Epic Yarn mention at all. That was my first entry into the series, and I know it wasn't loved for any number of reasons (Wii title, major aesthetic change, no health, no copy abilities...) but I'm still glad to see some parts of it recognized.

Just so you know, Sectonia didn’t transform into her wasp form. The mirror turned her into a parasite that possessed multiple hosts that she fed off of in an effort to achieve maximum beauty. This was confirmed by Sectonia Soul’s pause description as well as a Miiverse post by the creators.

Coolest thing about Magolor Soul in the True Arena of the remake is, in the second phase, he uses Super Ability versions of the two new abilities of Mecha and Sand. Really nice touch there, Nintendo.

Seeing Squashini on this list makes me feel validated cause he was my favorite boss in Epic Yarn

Kirby final bosses don't just go hard: going hard would imply they weren't already firing on all cylinders and had to be cranked up to 11. Most of the best bosses in all of Kirby are final bosses for DAMN good reason. One honorable mention I'd have said was the Master Crown from Return to Dream Land Deluxe's Magolor Epilogue; to see the Master Crown as it truly is, and knowing just WHAT this thing DOES to its wearers, is genuinely one of the most terrifying things in all of Kirby: it appearing as part of Void's attack arsenal in Star Allies? THAT is NO ACCIDENT! That is BLATANT! The Master Crown was borne of the VOID ITSELF! Those who seek power, acquire that power, and become a slave to the chaos of all creation that portends destruction! O.O Fun fact about Drawcia Soul and Chaos Elfilis, btw: they are the ONLY TWO SOUL BOSSES that are considered CANON by the games they appear in! It's funny you mention Fecto Elfilis' last ditch effort was to throw Pop Star at Kirby to kill him: as many people have pointed out, it did that because it wanted to kill Kirby in particular, and it sought to do so in the most personal way possible. Heck, it allowed itself to be absorbed by Morpho Knight in order to force Kirby to fight it, weaken it, so that Soul Forgo could absorb Morpho Knight's power to revive as Chaos Elfilis; yeah, that moment its eyes widened when the butterfly landed on it? That wasn't fear flashing before its eyes, that was pure unadulterated BRILLIANCE; Fecto Forgo is shown to be psychic, it 100% sensed Morpho Knight's power and WANTED that...just so it could END Kirby with the CHAOS of CREATION! I gush, but...I mean...I have my reasons, obviously. At least he came 2nd to the TRUE king of Kirby bosses. "How it all began...and how it will begin...again..." Yeah yeah, I know, different franchise, but hey...whaddayagonnado? ;)

MAGALOR IS NUMBER 1 YESSSSSS!!!! I'm crying tears of joy, Magalor is my favorite Kirby final boss and his redemption makes him Even better!

29:16 Gotta say, I didn’t think removing the beady eyes would make it _that_ much more menacing.

You throw a planet at me? I hit you with a TRUCK! Kirby is still one of my favorite franchises, and the bosses are definitely one of the reasons. Looking forward to more kirby chaos this month.

There's also the fact that every True Final Boss ever since Magalor has had a variation of C-R-O-W-N-E-D. You know, Magalor Soul's battle theme? Yeah, that one.

I'm glad that at least one boss from Kirby Star Allies made this list

Thankyou for reminding me of the 4Kids intro. I had to instictively sing the whole thing before I could finish the video.

I perfectly understand your reasoning for your placement of Void Termina on the list, but goddammit, that fight still captures my heart and mind like no other. The Void fight in Soul Melter EX is something else man. Every modern Kirby final boss is spectacular and fun in their own right, but Void stands out among them in my mind for the sense of wonder and awe it gives me. The amount of vastly different forms and attacks it can use in its boss fight (combined with the lore around how it reincarnates differently depending on the amount of positive and negative energy gathered) really makes it feel like it could do and be ANYTHING, from a star-devouring titan to your cheerful next-door neighbor (who just so happens to have ridiculous power). That is amazing, and it has a lot of potential for future Kirby games as well (imagine a game where you think you're playing as Kirby for most of the game, but then it turns out you were a positive incarnation of Void the entire time. The fanbase would go NUTS). Regardless, I'm happy that Magolor got the #1 spot on this list. Seeing his boss fight in KZread videos is what sparked my interest in trying Kirby to begin with, so thanks Magolor, you conniving, trolling, yet somehow endearing bastard.

17:11 A Lazor Collection joke in 2024...I'm not mad, Just surprised.

I'm not complaining but it seems Fawful's Minion has some competition for ranking Magolor number 1 in Kirby Boss Countdowns

I love the Kirby games, SSU is one of my favorite games ever. So seeing a month like this puts a smile on my face

I’m pretty sure Drawcia soul was actually the very first soul boss in the series.

I really love Galacta Knight's inclusion to the franchise because there's still so much mystery surrounding him. The fact that he's a warrior like Meta Knight except he has an angel aesthetic compared to Meta's demon aesthetic, he's pink exactly like Kirby, and he was sealed away because of his power just makes him an enigma worth discussion. Side note, the Planet Robobot fight is my favorite just because the moment he gets released, he immediately slashes Star Dream in one hit like an uber badass.

This is gonna be a fun month.

It's crazy that it took me until Return to Dreamland Deluxe to actually see why people loved Magolor. The fight in the true arena was nuts and I can see why this tiny mage has his fans. Speaking of the true arena, it actually has a very tragic element to it. Most people know that the Master Crown corrupted Magolor and all who wear it before as explained in the Magolor Epilouge. When you get phase 2, Magolor's eyes disappear and only the eye mouth remains which it saying that the crown has fully consumed Magolor. You can even Magolor cry out for help during phase 2. The cherry on top of all this is that it's a reference where there was originally going to be a bad ending if you didn't get all of the energy spheres. I swear, the Kirby devs are on a different tier.

What is a god to a slayer of gods? Kirby is my favorite franchise (if it wasn't obvious), so I'm looking forward to this month.

Even Kratos would approve of Kirby.

@@shadowlinkbds He'd probably team up with Kirby. Zeus and Odin don't stand a chance!

God bless you and your family joshscorcher

The "giant laser counter" was a nice touch for this. Kirby is very much inspired by Anime so you know there's gotta be some of those.

Depressing fact about Star dream: The count down leading to the fatal error is Haltmann’s wish for susie to come back to him of which the fatal error is the fact that Susie I still alive and is who he was working with the entire time.

Shocked that Master Crown didn't make the list!

Whispy Woods but final boss!

"Another 'You are your own worst enemy' allegory." He says as if underplaying that Void Termina's existence basically reveals that Kirby has been a God this whole time. I honestly would've put Void higher. The atmosphere, the lore, and ESPECIALLY the music (*Cough* Green Greens) make it possibly my favorite boss in the entire franchise. I do agree with Elfi's spot in second, though, if I had to choose... Mostly due to an inside joke concerning the semi-truck, though. XD

It wasn't underplaying, as it is just a joke. Hell that is the exact reason Void is as interesting as it is to begin with.

WHAT THE SPARK?! I never beat Canvas Curse, even though it's ond of my favorite Kirby games, so I never got to see that final boss fight. And just dang! That's some freaky crap!

Oh heck yes! Let's go! Kirby month is going to be awesome!

every time see Kirby use mech drill i have sorairo day playing in my head

As a Kirby fan myself. I find these highly informative!

Vernias on the up and up. He'll be loving this video if he saw it. In fact, I'll bet he's watching it right now.

Kind of surprised Dark Matter didn't get an honorable mention. I remember Kirby's Dream Land 2 being the first game where the stakes were a lot higher than just DeDeDe being a big jerk.

Just wow!

Huh. I was wondering why we didn’t get a Sonic month this year, despite it being the Year of Shadow, but this was such a pleasant surprise! At first I was hesitant as Fawful’s Minion has made Kirby countdowns to death with even remaking his boss countdown but then I realized I get to hear Josh talk about Kirby to death and I got hooked! 👌🏻😁👍🏻

Star allies definitely has one of the best boss osts in Nintendo's lineup

All of these entries are epic not gonna lie. I haven’t played a Kirby game in decades. So I’m a little slow to the party with some of these new boss. Miracle matter was the hardest and yeah, using Kirby’s elemental attacks and not being hurt without using the same element genius … But the top three are beyond what I could possibly do .

Kirby month? The same month as my birthday? I wouldnt have ask for anything more thank you for being a light in the dark room of this year. Personally I love ex Void for personal experience or dark aeon hero as that one has a special place in my heart for playing with meteorz to beat it

Kirby is bestest boy so he deserves his own month.

Very well done Start to the Month, let’s see what’s next. Hm, i wonder what the odds would be for a Touhou Month at some point?
