STORY

• Here is the link to a highly detailed version of the ENTIRE "canon" Story.

OPENING

One day on Planet Popstar, Kirby and Bandana Dee were having a simple Picnic out next to Kirby's improved house. However, Ribbon flew towards them and started crying. Not knowing why, Kirby walked up and looked at her with his head tilted. Ribbon said that the a lone Dark Matter attacked here and others on her planet, Ripple Star (however in game it first shows her and other fairies being chased by a black orb with a heart in the background). However, before she could say anything else a Dark Matter rammed Bandana Dee and started floating away. Kirby, being the hero he is, runs and tries to jump on it. Which proves unsuccessful. After that, the Dark Matter drills into the ground with a drill instead of an eye. Once it escapes, Ribbon says she got a call from the Fairy Queen about a BIG threat coming from Gamble Galaxy, worrying about the fates of the galaxies near it (this shown by the Fairy Queen holding a phone, with a black speech bubble being next the the queen showing a white and purple orb with a black eye coming out of gamble galaxy, with other galaxies around it). Then she explains that Kirby, Bandana Dee and her track down the threats and should get 9 legendary weapons from Popstar and the surrounding planets, including Ripple Star (this is shown by a cardboard Kirby, Ribbon and Waddle Dee standing on what seems like gold and weapons, with the Darkness around them poofing away). The camera zooms to Kirby, with him agrees to it with his belly thing from Kirby 64 and Kirby's Return to Dreamland. Then the camera zooms in on Ribbon's face, with going from sad to smiling. Then the camera focuses on Bandana, who agrees to it with a simple and while holding up his spear. Then the screen turns white. After the white fades, you can see Kirby and Bandana Dee running and Ribbon flying into the sunset. After that, the opening ends.

VISUALS, GAMEPLAY AND MORE

This game's visuals are combination of that of Kirby Super Star Ultra  and The Kirby Advance series (K:NiD , KatAM and K:SS), the charater sprites and foreground being KSSU styed and the backgrounds being styled of Kirby advance. The cutscenes are also KTD styled except being Switch quality, although the Ending cutscene is KSA styled. The gameplay is styled off KSSU, with multiple attacks for ALL charaters, Copy abilities (Yes, even Sleep and Light!) and Mixed Abilities. The music is modeled after KSSU.

CHARATERS

These are the good charaters in the story down below.

PLAYABLE CHARATERS

• Player 1's character of the stars, Kirby!
• Player 3's main Dee, Bandana Waddle Dee.

KIRBY

Kirby is of course player 1's charater in Kirby and the Star Planets. He can inhale and get copy Abilities. Along with this average fact, he also has the bubble Mechanic (from Kirby Squeak Squad) and Combo abilities. Both the Kirby 64 and Kirby Squeak Squad formula being present for the Combo Abilities. He can Also create a helper like in Kirby Star Allies except he can only create one.

OTHER

The 2nd player can play as the enemy charater player one makes friends with.

BANDANA WADDLE DEE

He is player 3's main dee. He uses his ever so iconic spear as his main weapon. But he can also use his Parasol from Kirby Battle Royal. Along with that he can pick up and throw enemy's like the characters in Super Mario bros. 2. That means you can stand on enemys instead of getting damaged, this is the same for bosses.

META KNIGHT

Meta Knight is player 4's charater for Kirby and the Star Planets. Unlike the other charaters, he is unlocked. He will be unlocked by beating him as the boss in world 1. His Gameplay is the same as all games that he was playable in the modern time, mainly Meta Knightmare Returns.

RIBBON

Ribbon is optional substitute for any of the charaters except Kirby. However Ribbon will be used as player 4 before you beat Meta Knight. Ribbon isn't able to walk or run due to her always flying during gameplay. Ribbon controls like Archer Kirby and Cupid/ Angel Kirby.

OTHER CHARATERS

There are other charaters that exist in the story aside from playable charaters. For the main page, go here.

• Reporter Dee from Kirby and the Star Planets
• Recorder Dee from Kirby and the Star Planets

Reporter Dee

Reporter Dee is a Female Waddle Dee  charater that appears in Kirby and the Star Planets. She is a freindly Female Waddle Dee who is the cousin to Bandana Waddle Dee. She is a very loyal friend to her companion/ Best Friend, Recorder Waddle Dee. She works as a Reporter (obviously) for Popstar's News Channel. In game, she will hide somewhere between the Forground and the background, talking to a enemy charater. After you beat the game, you can play a Kirby Avalanche-styed mini game.

Recorder Dee

​​Recorder Dee is a Male Golden Waddle Dee that appears in Kirby and the Star Planets. He is a "grumpy" Dee, although in reality a wimpy Waddle Dee. He however is very nice to Reporter Dee because he has had a crush on her since the 5th grade. He works as (guess this!) a Camera Dee for Popstar's News Channel. In game, he'll appear along side Reporter Dee recording the situation. After you beat the game, you can play a Crane Fever-like mini game, although he'll play against you, trying to grab the 1-ups or 2-ups before you.

Prince Fluff

Marx Clone

Rick

Rick  is a Male Hamster that has appeared in quite a few Kirby games as either a important or non-important charater. He works as a Owner and a Chef of his Buffet. In this game, he has a non-important charater. In-game, you can challenge him to a Gourmet race, however here it's called "Rick's Endless Buffet". But instead of 3 levels, you have 5.

Coo

Kine

Mario

MINI GAMES

EXTRA MODES

These are unlocked modes during or after the main story mode.

Extra Mode

This Extra Mode has the same idea from any other from the past. In this mode, you can't use the bubble selection or gain Copy Abilities through inhaling as Kirby. Instead, it's like KSS and KSSU's Milky Way Wishes , where you get Copy Ability Essence Deluxes. You also can't get Combo Abilities and Final Abilities (like the Star Rod). Also some Enemies are replaced with their counterparts (like Kabu and Grumples). Along with this Termina-two is replaced with a Zero Clone. Creative, I know (yeah it's cool to have a god clone as a final boss). Some levels are also redesigned entirely just to make it interesting. You also have a time meter, which before you start the extra game you can use this to have a optional time limit to beat the entire game (yes you'll restart the entire mode after if you decided to use this).

Nebula Stars

Nebula Stars Is a The Grand Cave Offensive / Kirby and the Amazing Mirror-like mode where you go look for treasure. There are 7 "areas" in this mode, each having 10 items. The only way to pass a planet/level/area is to collect them all! These are the areas:

COPY ABILITIES

These are what Kirby is mostly known for down below.

NORMAL COPY ABILITIES

Returning Normal Abilities:

Name/ Symbol	Picture	Explanation/ Facts	Flavor Text	Attacks
Animal		Animal Kirby is pretty much the same as he was in other games, with the exception of 2 new "attacks", Dig Dive and his guard, Den guard. Now Dig Dive is a attack where Kirby Dives into the ground below him and is able to pop-out. This attack is the simular to Marx's attack from Kirby Star Allies, Marx Flip Ultima, except Animal Kirby can't move and he can stay In the ground as long as he wants. When Kirby guards, he quickly covers himself in dry dirt, pebbles and sticks and once he unguards he splatters that everywhere, damaging enemys near him.	Roar! You are a ferocious animal! To surprise your enemy's, do B and down to go into the ground and use B again to Reappear!
Artist		Artist Kirby is almost the same too except for some other things, like his Painbrush attack and New things like skating. The way Painbrush changed is that the paint is only red, this is said in the flavor text when it says "you should paint the town red!". For the skating part, when Kirby is about to run, skates appear under his feet and he starts skating. While skating he is as fast as when he skates as Ice Kirby.	Even Kirby has a artistic side. Use your paint to create art of food or allies and bring them to life! When your done, you should paint the town red!
Ball		Ball Kirby has a single attack added to his moveset called roll where he rolls. Besides this, the controls work better when bouncing and everything else is literally the same.	As if being like this wasn't enough. Press B to turn into a destructive ball of death! Now you can bounce of the walls and enemy's! Oh oh, look out for that pit!
Beam		Beam Kirby has all the attacks he had in Kirby's Return to Dreamland, including the ledgendary Revolution Beam.	Well, this isn't shocking at all. Use the power of electricity to zap your foes with your magic wand. With this, no one shall pass you.
Bomb		Bomb Kirby has the attacks from the modern games while the concept of having fire properties like in the older games.	No need to buy bombs with this! While holding a bomb, you can make a kaboom! run and bowl, using the bomb as a bowling ball!
Bubble		Now Bubble can be a "different ability" from some points of veiw. Now Bubble beam have small bubbles that wander off and can devour enemys and items IF you use Bubble Beam for at least 7 sec. along with them being on screen. Also the attack Big Bubble can be pushed around by Kirby and the other players. He also has new attacks, Bubble float, bubble spin and bubble shell. Bubble float is where Kirby surrounds himself with a bubble and floats. This is the same consept with Balloon Kirby from Kirby Canvas Curse except he can't blow-up thrice. Bubble spin is a attack simular to Spinning fire breath except it has the bubble effect. Bubble shell on the otherhand is just the modern Reflect Guard but bubbly.	If you like blowing bubbles then, you love it more now! Use your Bubble Wand to encase your enemys inside of a large bubble, then gulp it down to use later. Wow, the power of air and water!
Burn		Burn is now back as its own ability, making it now a rebooted ability. Now Kirby can do Burning attack in the up and down directions! The new attack FireBall where he can fall (in a simular fashion as Wing when doing Condor Bomb) to the ground and send 2 fire balls to the left and right. It also has other new attacks from Fire.	Your the hottest ball around. You can dash forward in flames thanks to your hands of FIRE! You are so hot that you can even Burn underwater!	B: Burning B and down: Torch Inferno (Fireball Inferno) B while Burning: Burning Flame A while Burning: Searing Burn B and down inair: Meteor (Fireball spin) B B B while Burning: FireBall
Cupid		Cupid may have only a single new attack, but he's better for sure. Now when he flies, he can move just like Coo in Kirby's Dreamland 3. He can also move while aiming at a enemy in this game. His new attack is called Heart blow where Cupid Kirby looks either directly up or down and shoots a arrow that splits into 2 other ones, like Archer's Sky shot. He can also move while waiting to release his arrows, although very slowly.	Thanks to Kirby's caring heart, he has transformed into an Angel! You can shoot arrows from your bow and take down threats. You can charge you shot and make an enemy be attracted towards other enemys!
Cutter		Cutter is the same as it was in modern games with the final cutter included.	You've turned into a slice-o-roma! Cut your enemys down to size when you need. You can also use this boomerang to cut ropes or grass! What a nice simple thing to do.
Fighter		Fighter has the same moves from modern games along with have the attacks of Somersault Kick and Ariel spin kick.	Whenever you get this ability, you can get the work done. Use techniques you're born for, Kirby. Use your RAISING BREAK or HADOUKEN...   ...wait.
Fire		Fire, now being separated from Burn, has a small amount of attacks  single new one. The new one is called Blazing Flare, where Kirby spits out a small fire ball and it once it hits ground, it'll be there for about 5 sec. and if you charge This up, you'll spit out 3 fire balls and they will stay on ground for 8 sec. .	This is a classic and powerful ability to use. You can blowout FIRE and destroy EVERYTHING! Your hat can also light up dark places, which is nice for camping...
Freeze		Freeze and Ice have the same situation as Burn and Fire do. This is also basicly rebooted. With this ability, theres a new move called Snow throw, where Kirby throws a Snow ball with several ice spikes sticking  out.	BBBBRRRRR! Aren't you FREEZING?! You can surround yourself in cold gasses and freeze any opponent who comes across you. Can you see why?

New Normal Abilities:

Name/ Symbol	Picture	Explanation/ Facts	Flavor text	Attacks
Glitch Block		Glitch Block Kirby, as the name suggests, is a ability where you use "glitchy" blocks as your weapons AND ​​​​​​creatable ​platforms. When you just place it down, you will react to it the same as a Star Block and enemys react like it's a attack, damaging them. The blocks within the attack "block throw" are thrown by Kirby in a simular fashion to when Throw or Suplex OR Backdrop Kirby throws a opponent, mostly Throw Kirby.	Don't freak out! It's not a real glitch! Place Glitch blocks on the ground or in the air to use as a barrier or a step stool. See, glitches are cool!
Mantle		This is Mantle Kirby, a totally origanal™ abilty and his moveset is totally NOT based on Cape Mario or Cape Luigi. Anyway, Kirby can trip his enemys with his cape and he can do this in any direction, depending on the button pressing. You can also do a Hi-Jump like move by jumping and then pressing B and up, the attack being called Feather flight.	This can remind you of a certain hero when you use this super-powered cape. Use B to trip up your enemy, then run, jump and fly away! Go Kirby go!
Mix		In a same fashion to Smash Kirby, Mix Kirby has moves from multiple abilities along with its own "Special" abilitys to make this all new ability. This ability mostly takes attacks from abilities not present in this game. Anyway the thing with the "Don't worry, there's no bad chemicals in there..." is referencing the source of the attacks, the drink mixer. This is because in old and modern illustrations of the Mix had Kirby at a Bar or some other place...	You thought this was a gimmick, didn't you? Use many different attacks with your trusty shaker! Don't worry, there's no bad chemicals in there...
Sound		This is a new ability named Sound. As you'd expect, you can run very fast and use sound to your advantage for battle. This abilty is a gust/ wind elemental abilty. A cool fact is that this is the fastest copy ability on the ground. The sound whistle attack is very simular to Water Kirby's Fountain hover and Nago's Ice ability, with the reach of Fountain hover and the flying of the Nago + Ice.	Rolling around at the speed of sound! By that, your not kidding! Whenever you run, you can go faster then even when you would ice skate or surf. When you use B while running you can do anything!
Time		So the Time ability is a New Copy ability where you can slow down time on enemies or for the entire stage. A bad thing about this ability can't cause damage towards enemies and can only slow there movements, hence the flavor text saying that you should have a friend with you.	Don't worry if your lagging behind, you can slow time down if you need! Punch your foe to make them go in slow motion! This ability isn't good for attacking though, trust others to do that.

COMBO ABILITIES

• It'll be a long time 'till this will be done.....  ...once done, there'll be a link.

COPY PALETTE

When you press - (for the Switch ver.) or the R button (for the X-experience ver.), you get the  Bubble Selection. Originating in Squeak Squad, this is a selection of collected Copy Abilities within bubbles. There are differences between the origanal and this new one. For one, there are 10 slots instead of 5. Also if you get all of the treasures of the Nebula Stars Extra game, you unlock 5 extra spaces.

COPY ABILITY COSTUMES

In this game, you can buy 1 costume for each ability. You buy these costumes with point stars. Some these costumes can even change how the attacks look for the ability (although the attacks stay the same).

Youtopia: Youtopia is a DLC world on the bottom-left of the planet selection map. It is a planet where YOU get to create 4 different levels and chose a pickable boss for your 5th level. Along with this, you can either chose or make music for your levels. This is basically Super Mario Maker + Mario paint but Kirby. Unlike Mario Maker, you can't share levels to the internet and it's impossible to create autolevels. This is also where you can play as Adeline/ Ado, where you play as her to test the level while editing it. You can also edit the Planet and level's icon, doing pixal art to do so. Keep in mind that you CAN'T change the planet's name, the name will always be Youtopia!

TRIVIA

All the 1st letters of all the Planets (excluding DLC) spell out P-E-R-P-E-T-U-A-L, meaning Infinity or forever. Including DLC would spell out P-E-R-P-E-T-U-A-L-L-Y, also meaning Infinity.

• Also all the levels for the Planets spell words, this is them in order: DREAMS , MIND , SOUL , RELAX , LIFE , GOALS , DEATH , LIGHT and DARKNESS. With Last Star's, it says REBIRTH.

Some of the locations in the world Earth take place somewhere on Earth (what you expect?) . For example, Indiana isle takes place in a frozen over Indiana. Also everything in the level Eternity Fountain is a reference to the myth the Fountain of Youth.

Interestingly, King Dedede doesn't appear in this game at all. Not as a Playable charater, a mini boss, a boss or a Other charater.

Some of the New abilities like Glitch Block, Mantle and Clock are based on or are unused Copy Abilities from past games. Glitch Block being based on Block from Kirby's Adventure, Mantle being from Kirby Super Star and Clock being semi-based on the unused "clock ability" from Kirby's Return to Dreamland.

The Artist Ability's "running" animation is based on Paint Kirby from the Kirby anime, Kirby Right Back at Ya!.

Sections 1, 6 and 7 of Upward hall are a reference to Level 7 of Dark Castle (from KDL2) when you go through those 5 sections with Copy Ability Enemies to get the Rainbow Sword, like in this game for Ripple Star and it's ledgendary weapon, the Soul Crystal.
