#Return to Dream Land Deluxe

The same as the previous games
In Star Allies they did both a menu skip and a map skip
Where Divine Terminus is the last level of the last world
But there's a black hole behind divine terminus afterwards that lead's directly to void
But you can also select Kirby Star Allies from the world select menu
They do force you to grab one sphere in the first level. It won't scroll the screen past until you do.
So maybe the Lor just needs one
true!
Imagine if you could hack through it
kirby where tf is that one (1) energy sphere I asked you for
Do we know what the gem apple is? Or why it's magic?
I mean you can lol
It's a magic gem in the shape of an apple
I think that's self explanatory just as much as anything else having magic is???
Like no one asks what magic points are and why they have magic

Not the same thing at all
The master crown was looking for it
And so was Magolor
To get his powers back
Crystal orbs
It's very plot relevant
Probably cause it's unstable or something lmao
What does it being plot relevant have to do with explaining what it is
It's just a thing with a lot of energy in AD there's no other given explanation
Shit I emoji reacted instead of replying again
(Gem) Apple seeds
((Probably))
They look like apple seeds
Oh that's an interesting idea
I was thinking they were teardrop shaped but seed shaped might make sense too
Teardrop for the meta theme of like
Raindrops down my face or whatever that track was called
Magolor consuming so many apple seeds... So full
He gets cyanide poisoning
what about Meta Points
what are they
Makes sense since the big slices restore new abilities while the seeds let him boost the ones he already has
Meta points are meta knight eggs
Source: nothing
orbs
ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE
I like to think the GS title of his references those at least lmfao
why do you get them and Magic Points from enemies/bosses
Magolor when he gets more magic from bosses by being Crafty?????
are they literally just like visual representations of EXP
TBH
The skill tree
would actually be fucking awesome for a Meta Knightmare mode
Would make sense cause he always trains to be stronger LOL
Meta Knight when he asks for a skill tree and has to fight Mistilteinn
LOL
the game requires you 1 power sphere so i guess thats enough
Maybe it's some shit to do with Meta Knight being a bat lmao
Ol Dracula ass sucking the life out of his enemies
I think In meta Knight's case it's just a game mechanic
I mean, same could be said for Magolor's then really
Apple seeds 😡
Wait hold up
Ive seen you mention "seeds" before and didn't know what you were talking about..
You mean the magic points? Those tear drop shaped things??
Yeah
I'm inputting the idea that they're seeds into everyone's mind subliminally
So they stop calling that big ass apple a seed it's an apple apples are not seeds it's a big apple
I'll admit apple seeds are kinda tear drop shaped.. most of the magic points are inside orbs though
The low level ones anyway
That's what makes them magic
don't think I've ever seen anyone call them a seed, just
Yeah that's what came to my mind the first time "seeds" were mentioned
Sapling (thank you minecraft for teaching me this word)
I think I looked at the Kirby fandom wiki for too long
Since for some reason the page for the big ass apple is called Gem Apple Seed lmfao
yeah
though the gem itself is seed-like in this case
(excuse the poor image)
Yeah THIS might be what a "gem apple seed" would look like. Problem is this thing is huge
Like it's teardrop shaped and crystalline instead of glowy
Idk how to describe the normal one looks like
True.. I meant they seem bigger than the other magic points though
They're about the size of Magolor himself
ohhh i forgot about the beeg ones
the real question is why are they in an Orb (moreso if they were supposed to be seeds)
Yep
Funny Gem Apple Sprout
The orbs also look like what would be the shell
Magolor should have eaten it
All the magic points have two layers
hmm maybe they sit inside an orb to make them more visually obvious for gameplay purposes (which is why the big one isn't inside it). but idk
The orb ones are the low rank ones I'm pretty sure
Yummy magical seeds
To differentiate them could still be possible
I mean the まりょくオーブ (Magic Orb)
not the stand alone ones
Ohh, well..
About the same reason the gem apple is in the room of Eden imo
I like the idea those things were specifically meant to gather magic
I mean, that wasn't though lol
Too unguarded for carrying gem apple seeds
The first apple teleports you to the room and it automatically flew to the altar (I do not think Magolor sent it there seeing how curiously his eyes followed it)
still, we don't know where they originally came from
It just kinda comes out of him no animation
And the apple lights the braziers, is it sentient?
Plus the whole "Eden" thing..
Magical apple
and with the whole 'Magolor's powers are scattered' thing also not really being explained and all, for all we know they may have not even been there before Magolor stuff happened
Stuff didn't actually specify the forbidden fruit was an apple though the phrase "Adam's apple" may imply it
they may have not even been there before Magolor stuff happened
what is "they"
Fruit Fragments at least
what we were talking about lol
To me that wouldn't make much sense since it seems implied that apple was or at least grew from the massive tree that the crown took over in Halcandras past
its probably true the fruit pieces were scattered/taken
I would say that theyre scattered on purpose as a test for people to complete, perhaps by the altar itself
eh, we dont know that the illusion you see during Mistelteinn's fight is the actual past.
I don't think anything ever implied that
nothing implied that tree even existed
wait like the master crown tree? yeah i thought the sapling came from him too
anyway im not sure what point you were trying to make earlier but "room of eden" and a "gem apple" as the big doohickey.. like.. there's no way they aren't related.
the sapling definitely did
I feel like the crown showing presumably the past using the tree implies a tree existed for it to take over
I think amp is implying the apple we initially collect was reborn or something
in some kind of time loop.
maybe
I just mean I don't think it came from there, and nothing really indicates it does
thats just how fruits work
oohhhh.... CAME there.. like originated there..
fruits are good and delicious because hte seeds are supopsed to eat the fruit
but we eat the fruit and remove the seeds
yeah i think the ancients probably took it and built the room of eden around it or something, wouldnt be too far fetched
Besides the fact that the slices are even in ME with all the weird leaf-looking things and the Magic Points looking like apple seeds
why are you pinging me for this
I know lol
it could be an illusion of Halcandra's past to go with the redemption/final judgement themes
that's kinda the crown's final stand too
and anyway...
-possesses tree
-immediately sets everything on fire
if the fire held some power even as an illusion I guess the Master Crown actually did that, lol
My theory is that
The fruit, master crown, energy spheres and Magolor's power warped space and time
And the fight between Magolor and Mistilteinn brought about the apocalypse on Halcandra
Wich is another reason for Magolor's regret and redemption
tree should've aimed some of it's fire and meteor attacks at Magolor smh
Bro wasn't giving it his all
Would've been cool to see Galacta Knight flying around the background just for more lore fuckery
master crown is such a douche it had to tell magolor it killed a whole civilization by reenacting it BEFORE the fight starts lol
how the hell did Landia manage to get the crown back from that tree
was literally just thinking like, we dont see any ancients retaliate against the supposed tree crown time traveler
fire beats grass Duh!!
I'm guessing I'm right, OR
The crown brought about the end of Halcandra before that fight and it's just making that illusion for more dramatic effect
see, without the time travel, it's a lot easier to digest this
But the crown wasn't actually on the tree
It was probably on another being
Or whatever
i think the idea that the illusion is something that h/taunts the tree is neat
The tree is probably the remains of a parallel Whispy, like the other bosses but more fucked up
wait, what kind of explosion did the crown make when it fell? in the true arena
Huh? Haven't gotten there yet
just a bunch of leaves, or was there fire? any onlookers know?
there's a lot of red smoke.. eh.. cant think anything from that
imagine the past actually did come back to bite it, in the form of fire to add salt to the wounds
i wonder if the master crown tree has any sort of association with whispy. Maybe whispy knows him and is like "Yeah that's that douche from my 5th period english class in high school"
Also
but anyway, so. Magolor cuts the tree in half. I forget what actually happens, but im assuming it explodes.. not sure what state the crown is in. Since it's kinda whole when it possesses the tree, maybe it's repaired.. and then, since Halcandra, Landia's home, is already in Another Dimension, which is arrround where the room of eden is..
In the tree crown fight, when it fires a laser that explodes into fire
You get fucking shellshocked
ohh it's the same thing galacta and hrd3 do
Magolor's ears start ringing and the music goes quiet for a second
oh wait whaat that's weird
yeah its the same tinnitus effect
and kinda star dream lol
I didn't expect that at all
guess they're all Old so it makes sense
That attack is so scary
i like the new abilities but it is just me or do they feel a little misplaced
i always get hit by it lmao it sucks
The whole heart fight is
rtdl's level design wasn't built with them in mind, so they mostly do things other abilities already do, so you can use them for puzzles they "arent meant to be used for"
Well, the game wasn't actually meant to have any new abilities, since it was made 11 years ago
i get they probably wanted you to get to use the new ones often but like. theyre very frequent and a lot of the time it feels like places they don't belong
oh yeah they definitely oversaturated 'em so ppl replaying the game can use them frequently
But they're pretty alright in terms of placement, I think they're cool
like mecha on some random beach
Bro was relaxing under the sun leave him alone
it's not like enough for me to play wii again over this but it's a little irritating im ngl
BTW why didn't Meta Knight ring his crew and take out the halberd to get Magolor's shit back
Bro could've done it in a couple hours
ftr i'm more than ok with being able to solve puzzles in different ways now i think that's sick
just the frequency of these two is a little headscratching. they went overboard lol
The gordo whip puzzle is so stupid
mfw you can now just roll through it (i think - i forget if roll goes the full distance if you do it off a ledge)
You could damage boost through it, attack through it with any i-frames attack, dodge trough it, use the whip or the sand
Maybe it's just expensive to run and they didn't think this was worth the bother. They're just collecting parts. Nothing dangerous is going on. It's like a day trip. They're probably having fun whole doing it
They're wonky for bossfights
if that's the one of the ones with a 1-Up
couldn't you just inhale it lol
the chad parasol having all the i-frames on its down b
can you inhale 1ups in this game i forget
Actually you're right, it's not even a war or that dangerous until they get to Halcandra
I think so
i am def using sand for arena
No wait
yeah sand is def the go-to
just be careful on any black hole attack since it will not keep you from being sucked
iirc yes
at least food and the held items
I like the out of shield attack
the reason theyre so versatile is so that its easy to place them in old areas
Yeah you can inhale 1ups, but I don't know if the one behind the gordos is bar enough away to be out of range or not
There is at least one 1up you can inhale in an another dimension segment with those gray blocks you can only super inhale
super inhale would probably reach it
It's a better puzzle in the og because the dodge roll didn't exist yet, but yeah. It's more of a "teaching moment" puzzle anyway
I feel like you can't inhale them normally but honestly I don't remember ever trying besides that one in ad so idk
lol yeah it just wants you to know that whip can do that. And now sand apparently
You probably just can if you can inhale the ad one
there's lot of puzzles you can do with stuff other than the intended ability
even in the original
A short while later they give you items you can only get with a whip or sand grab
when all bomb puzzles can be solved by using a 2nd controller 
don't even think you need that for them lol
It's a funny cheese though
i know that one in nutty noon can be done with no ability or multiplayer but it's incredibly tight
at least not the Rasin Ruins one and the Nutty Noon one (in DX)
The raisin ruins one is so fun to mess with
can do it with almost every ability (well, can even do it without an ability, but the timing is hard)
Y'alls favorite ability?
Wing and Parasol
in this game? hmmm
In general but sure
parasol and whip are ones i've enjoyed a lot. in general i'd probably say Jet
For me it's probably sword and hammer, I'm a classic guy
oh water also feels awesome in this game. i love water...
But all others are so cool and such good reworks
Water and Leaf are great.
Sand is really fun.
Cutter is my favorite "classic" ability
I used to be obsessed with the water ability in the og as a kid
Solid
Leaf is cool, it's kind of too slow for my taste
kirby finally getting another console game after 11 years AND getting a long-requested ability. Must have felt good
(i do remember rtdl coming out but i didn't get to play it immediately bc i didn't have a wii then lol)
I like the down b in air attack a lot, and the upper cut
oh i forgot leaf's air down b is actually rly good in arena lol
kinda surprised me to hear
I just find it fun
oh for sure yeah. fun to go whee
i wish neutral b were faster...
but i guess it can't replace Actual Tornado now can it!
I bet, Kumazaki gave Kirby a second chance at life and boy did it work
Most of my favorite abilities that end up suiting my "run fast and mash buttons" play. Leaf isn't top because a lot of the attacks slow you down, but down b in air and uppercut are perfect
Oh yeah those two are actually so fun
I do like leaf when playing alone and slowly
But in co op it's pretty meh
my favorite abilities always need like Some Decent i-frames to utilize - but i like when they're gimmicky too lol. makes me love jet for that reason. And parasol to a lesser extent
Oh yeah, I love me some gimmick abilities too
RtDL doesn't have much gimmick, but I'm really fond of spider and circus
Circus too!!! really wonky ability but it's cool

that REMINDS me again i need to replay star allies lol
maybe tonight
Parasol is so simple, that's what makes it fun, it's also fun and a sick all rounded
For a while I was practicing a no hit circus run against the ending of TDX. The ability has a great rhythm to it
Spider was so underutilized
Makes sense since there were so many abilities but still, would've been nice to see it more
I like using spider to zip through levels and avoid everything lol
spider would be so fun in a 3d game... each ability in FL has some sorta specific puzzle solving niche, and this would be really easy to accomplish with spider since there's all sorts of puzzles you can design based on wrapping up enemies and launching them
Spider is a fun combo of like ice and high jump
oh yeah i can totally see that
Honestly to me spider has always been a forgettable ability. But in 3D I bet it would be cool if it had some sort of glue based puzzles or climbing
oh yeah for sure - there's a lot of new stuff they could do with it
Wish spider was more focused on web swinging rather than trampolines
Just out of curiosity, I tried it
Lmao
Super Inhale probably just straight up has more range than whip tbh
Not really a surprise. I'd just never thought about it before
Like a lot more I'd bet
hooray for inhale lol
LOL does this also work in the original
incredible
Only one way to find out. Assuming I can find batteries for my wiimote lol
I will be forever angry they didn't give Dedede an inhale move like Kirby
The answer
kek
I just realized deluxe added a new way to solve that puzzle
In deluxe they added the slant so you could just dash attack through it and make it back
lol!
This puzzle is so simple yet has probably the most ways to solve it
Do you need to get all the eggs to win on level 3 egg catcher
Oh wait, yeah I think it's only marked as "won" if you do a perfect
How
no, just don't explode
if you needed them all the 28 eggs mission wouldn't make sense
I could've sworn I did a game where I played it til the end and it wasn't marked as won
there's also that puzzle in Raisin Ruins Stage 4 with the switch that has bunch of ways to do it
So there’s no certain amount of eggs that you need to catch
honestly no clue lol
That one is my favorite
You probably have to catch one but not explode
Dang, le Tree Crown without a Ruler is a long track
you should get 30 eggs anyways
its fun! (lying)
Ok but I did find it fun 😅
Egg Catcher is one of those games that's so short that it doesn't feel an imposition to go "ok just one more try"
Probably more frustrating if it's the last mission you need or something though
Also you can cheese some of the true extra missions with Co-Op, provided that you have the controllers needed.
My list of abilities I cleared the true arena with:
Hammer
Spark
Bomb
No Ability
Cutter
Sword
Spear
Needle
No parasol? 
no hi-jump?
No mirror?
No service?
if it even comes back 
just need to gather the last of the energy spheres i missed
are lor challenge stages required for story mode 100%?
they are but you only need to complete them
(technically bronze but the min score is 100 points so you're guaranteed to get it lol)
new colourful buttons to press 
Sand is so fun. I do hope it comes back even just once in a while
tbh since they're fun abilities and are the most recent they definitely have a chance to come back
Gundam + Metal General = Mecha
the mask is called betrayal magolor 
real

Should've had this theme as the Staff Credits Music
so that's why my save file of Kirby Wii said 94% after I obtained all energy spheres
Could there be a possibility that they add online to aleast Magoland
have you ever met a knight
At this stage, probably not. Not impossible. But it feels unlikely
I still say they're testing with spin offs and stuff first before fully committing with a mainline
Even If It Isn't That Strong Tbh
It's not super op or anything, but it's got a nice distance to it and can go through walls, so it's still a pretty cool attack
I hope it gets NERFED
And if they don't nerf them....UNNERF HAMMER RAAAAH
I expect it to be nerfed some lol But that's ok. I don't like it because of strength. I just enjoy the way the moves flow into each other. It's satisfying to run through levels with.
That it also happens to be a speedrunning favorite is just a lucky accident
Also MPS I am now a member of the scope shot fanclub
Scope Shot is genuinely fun. I'm awful at it, but it's fun
Like I feel they could’ve made it work
me when i dont have friends (scope shot will be boring)
Maybe they'll take more about their decision making process later. But honestly, I just get the impression they wanted a couple new games and then one returning one from each mainline, dream friend style. And for the og RtDL, they chose to bring back the directly competitive one.
But yeah I think it could have worked if they had chosen to
Is it bad that I’m using some souvenirs on the true arena
however you can enjoy the game is what's important
You are valid. Do what you need to do
a run with say Hammer and souvenirs is probably more valid than one with sand and no souvenirs like mine lol
(but it doesn't matter either way!)
My run, when I finally finish it, will be water and no souvenirs
But I'm glad the option is there if I decide I want it
Yeah, my main strategy is rainbowing people to death 
Though the basic water spit is great on ground based enemies
oh for sure yeah! the infinite range is awesome
PAINbow curse
it takes longer to hold down in the original tho
a down-up move with i-frames is too good to be used in midair ( Pretends Mecha doesn't exist)
I'm sad they nerfed that... tho at least it's still really good
I feel like
They nerfed them
Just to make mecha and sand look "better" in comparison
the water nerf was in SA right? but I do see your point lol they wanna gas up the new ones
Why should I use this old weak ass ability when I can use the NEW BETTER STRONGER ABILITY
yes
Its been a thing since SA yeah
with the new abilities it's like - what if we made an ability with better guarding than leaf AND better damage than hammer
they truly made it too cracked
Hammer TECHNICALLY does more with full charge (but the difference is barely anything)
But it doesn't MATTER because it takes like 5 seconds
but with SAND it takes only 2-3
oh yeah I mean like dps damage
golem fist is just nutty and I also recently found out it isn't actually called golem fist and I've gaslit myself based off the name of a terraria item
Whoops.
I don't see the golem fist in that photo 🧐
TRY ME
Hi-Jump Arena%
I’ll DO it
Oh god-
(Man true arena will be painful-)_
Ping me the final time when done with both Arena and True Arena
Oh no that’s what I meant
I would like to do hi jump arena tbh lol
tricky to use but fun! and I get i-frames which I always Need
I could try high jump arena as a warm up
If I can remember lol
May take a while
I think you would also enjoy fire tbh
it has that burning dash so it isn't ridiculously hard to use but it's also gonna be tricky just bc fire is weird lol
I imagine the inferno attack (where you burn yourself) ought to be useful in specific scenarios though
fire inferno has startup i-frames
Burn - Searing Burn can stay midair infinitely
situational trick
how long do i-frames last on that. like around which parts are you gonna be vulnerable
I assume after doing the sear but before burning again
seems like the frames would last a good while tho
no way si rkibble???
Yep, hehe. 
I love “dreamland gang” as much as the next guy, but honestly can we get more mainline games with multiplayer Kirby?
as long as they keep the star allies revive system so everyone can be on equal ground with p1, rtdldx not having that was grrrrr…..
i would very much prefer everyone having equal ground than this

Thats unfair
true.....
playing FL with friends 😔
actually its singular friend
Friend (derogatory)
😈 😈
at least bwd powers up when kirby has an evo
but it's still sad you can't upgrade his movekit or anything lol
no ability run 
we live in the worst timeline bandee didnt get elfilis spear
FR
At least his dash attack still splits up into three
void termina spear
How about bandee gets an actual significant story role instead of being Kirby’s number 2
Bandana Dee Apple Juice Tycoon when?
Legit Bandee boss fight when
he got a little characterization which was cool but i hope all 4 of them are used well in the next game
4 player co-op next game
I want them to master 2 player co-op for a 3d game before going for a 4 player one ngl
Every day, I'm haunted by Pop Happiness
PEAK
i love pop happiness

it's just an arbitrary design choice to make the game feel like the original
guess they didn't have anything else to put down there lol
I mean, more ability testing stuff would have been nice
with the different blocks and all
Felt like a last second decision tbh
should have given us a Spray Paint Chamber SMH!!!
I would have liked maybe if the new minigames unique to this remake were in the basement, and the returning ones were just in Magoland
Ngl, the revival system was something I thought I wanted, but kinda don’t…but in a game without lives it makes sense…or have a FL approach where you are put on recharge
busy day, sorry for ping lmao
I wonder how well this game is doing sales wise? It’s obvs not as crazy as FL or anything, but I’m curious…
currently about 357k physical copies in Japan
assume physical:digital ratio is 1:1, Japan:overseas ratio is 1:4
that would be over 3 million already
official sales number should be revealed in the next earning release
for comparison, Star Allies worldwide sales was 3.98m as of 2021/12
i'd imagine it must have risen above 4 million by now
That would be insane honestly
i hate how they didn't bring over the star allies revive system
that game had the best multiplayer and it was weird for them to not bring it over
its gonna be pretty difficult to play the true arena with others so that everyone can actually have fun
technically its the TKCD revive system 
erm i'm pretty sure they're different bc in that game it got harder and harder to revive after consecutive deaths

isn't that the case with Star Allies too? or am I misremembering
it definitely doesn't feel like it
i could be wrong though
i play smex with random people relatively often and they obviously die a lot but i never noticed it getting longer
I personally feel like the changes to the abilities and the overall mechanic of doing damage in this remake is...
Not that great
what do you mean they changed the mechanic of doing damage?
also for the most part the changes were fine, only Beam and Hammer were really nerfed at all
idk why they did stuff to Beam lol (assuming it was intentional)
I have complained a couple of times how some abilities would have their moves lose invincibility frames to the point that it makes them redundant to perform against bosses
I have not seen anything not have invincibility that had invincibility in the original
Still in the mindset that all the changes that Star Allies brought to abilities would carry over to the remake
they did not bring over much ability stuff from there
more of it was from 3DS games
Seriously, spear's Moondrop was a usable move in Star Allies thanks to how it makes you invincible the whole time...
But to have it lose invincibility frames makes it an undesirable move
and even then they did not bring back everything of course
i mean does BWD's version have invincibility
no
either way, it is not like remakes usually add moves to stuff anyway (especially from other games)
else, NiDL and SSU would be quite different games lol
But my bigger issue is how the damage system works about the same as the original compared to how future installments handled it.
In triple deluxe and onwards, every hit is counted. Beam is super satisfying to use because of that.
But here? When a boss gets hit, there's a short period of time where they won't take any extra damage
This can be a problem in multiplayer, because if there are two players attacking the same boss, only the first to hit would actually have their damage register.
I could be fully charging up my hammer flip, but because the other player was a bit faster in hitting the boss first, my flip would do NO damage thanks to the boss' brief invincibility
What bothers me is that this "Boss Invis-frame" time isn't consistent.
So beam's neutral attack only does one hit
Spear's spammy throw attack only has every Odd-Numbered Spear actually do damage
Yet Parasol's down ground attack can do like 5-6 hits at once?
My biggest issue about this damage system is that Sword's Sky Energy Sword is pretty much pointless.
Either the overhead slash hits first, or the weaker projectile hits first... You can't have both at the same time.
i'm actually happy they kept the boss i-frames personally
i was worried they would remove it
i can't lie they feel like they really need it
if they removed it they would need to adjust all the boss health values to compensate
Wow, Sand absolutely shreds Magolor.
Anything that flies, really. Just get under it and spam up b.
Hammer doesn't feel quite as OP as it is in most games
More like star allies hammer
Hammer is only the best in super star ultra and i think tdx?
Oh, and fl
In rtdl it's ninja, in robobot it's ice, in sa it's bluster bomb
Is Ninja actually faster than Hammer in RtDL?
And I’m pretty sure Ice is second to Hammer in PR
Yea ok ninja is second in rtdl but doesn’t really come close
I'm pretty sure ninja recently beat hammer
Bluster bomb??
I assume this is ignoring dream friends
Also yeah no way hammer isnt best in robobot too
Bluster Bomb is way faster than any Dream Friend
Also I thought I remembered ooinu saying that his Ice run was only faster than his Hammer run because he did the shooting parts faster
But I can't find where he said that
Hm well his hammer run desc does say that his star dream phases weren't done well
I dunno
Yea ok I just manually calculated the times
Bomb spam destroys every boss in seconds
672.64- (180.24-155.97) - (588.79-289.97) = 350.55 = 5:50.55 for Ice
674.32 - (180.67-156.40) - (587.37-288.42) = 351.10 = 5:51.10 for Hammer
So yea his ice run is faster even without the shooter segments
Also Toy Hammer is only best in FL without boost items
With boost it's Twin Drill
Nice phone numbers 
Mr. Frosty and Bonkers’ phone numbers
doxxed
Kirby should be
Kirby should'ev been 0.0



nice phone numbers :trol
I surprised myself today by nohitting landia, metal general, and a miniboss rush in an arena run with bandee
AKSLJASLAHS
These are just speedrunner tiers tho not casual players
For normal play I think hammer is the best in all modern Kirby except SA and idk avout RTDLD yet
Marx, magolor, mage sisters best in SA
No one can legitimately say PR ice, bluster bomb, or twin drill are the best abilities, they just have ultra fast exploit strats
Toy Hammer I heard is pretty good as well
Toy hammer is probably the strongest Kirby ability ever
I'd honestly say sand is a contender for this too tbh
highest dps in rtdldx to my knowledge, yet better safety than even leaf
it's just the best of both worlds
toy hammer is also amazing and easiest to speedrun with but can be sort of tricky if you're having trouble approaching the enemy. like if you don't kill phantom forgo phase 2 before he starts jumping around then it becomes a real slog
Is Sand the consensus SS ability in RTDLD?
It feels OK against ground bosses and OP against air bosses
yeah
I thiiink so - it has the fastest time on true arena rn while simultaneously being the easiest to use (imo) if you're recommending it to someone who wants to get through TA easily
its the best one
It is so stupid good against magolors that it makes sense, it's probably not the fastest against some bosses but it evens out and yeah it's great at all levels of play
sandcastle go brrr
usually, the fist shockwave is the best dps for grounded foes while the sand burst tornado is the best for flying
Agree
pretty much yeah
The fist smash is sort of like hammer in itself
and sand castles are used even in speedruns for bosses to bump into when they're off screen
yeah it's kinda like old hammer flip lol
I love that sand is just a great all rounder. You've got strong moves like the fist which are really great for skilled players, but also you have an invincible guard and a lingering "trap" move with the sandcastle which are great for more novice players
It's beast
I haven't even learned its whole moveset yet
Is Hammer still as good as usual but sand is just new and better, or is hammer nerfed also
hammer flip is sadly doodoo in this game but giant swing is still good. speedruns just use dedede though since his super jump is busted lol
so it was nerfed but it's still Good
Yeah, hammer flip here works like it does in Star Allies where you have to charge it, making it a lot harder to use
Yeah it feels like SA hammer which is pretty outclassed
it's funny that in both the kirby series and smash games, hammer being updated to have a charge just made it worse. the badness of the updated hammer flip crossed into two different series
it evolved from "hammer is busted" to "dedede is busted" which is the timeline im a-ok with
Never liked hammer
The charge probably was an intentional nerf
Was boring to play
yeah definitely
but i think they should've done some sort of compromise like in FL
where it still takes time to charge but it can be decreased if you enter bullet time mode
The charge attack in smash is bad?
the only time true arena felt unfair to me is robobot and its for reasons completely unrelated to copy ability
because star dream soul os doesnt require any until the very end anyways 
or stone
Forgotten land hammer felt wonderful even in base form
i called it rock im a fake fan
i hear the TDX one was really hard but i dont remember playing it
i mean its good to use either way. people pretend like hammer is straight up bad now when really its just hammer flip charge time is the only change
it's still pretty powerful ability otherwise
it just requires skill and learning
I think the worst is the Sectonia phase with death pits
but people don't want that 
It feels like it does a little less damage all around than SSU era
well its not that it does less damage
its moreso in SSU era bosses health bars are paper thin
Maybe it's just that you don't use hammer flip as much
Dedede is superior that's why
Dedede taught Kirby Hammer, right?
like in SSU bosses have pathetically little health if you have the right ability
makes star allies blush
Of course the mentor is great.
it just kinda stinks they nerfed hammer and then made the easy hiding ability even stronger in dps when hammer wasn't great defensively to begin with. Like I know it's bc it's the new ability and they gotta gas it up but good golly
I mean hammer's i-frames are pretty useful but like you get what I mean it's no leaf
I imagine that if Sand comes back, it'll be tweaked. Maybe not a ton, but I expect it'll be a bit less op lol
Lol yeah prob
Oh yeah sand has invincible guard too, holy damn
i mean is really leaf good for anything except for hiding and up b
An invincible guard you can high jump out of even
well that's the thing - sand does both of leaf and hammer's strong points Better lol
Is sand more unbalanced than hammer was at its peak?!
like again I get it's the new ability but jesus they didn't go overboard with mecha lmao
I like leaf overall, but I wish it's basic attacks were a bit better
up b 24 power for a move that's quick and spammble is very good
fair enough
sand is just a powerhouse lol
it is a very good move
most basic attacks are around 16 power
leaf down b is also really good right
one of the most broken abilities for sure
How much damage does HI Jump do?
I still think it's hilarious that mecha was the one everyone was worried about being broken
honestly i dont care that sand specifically is that overpowered. its not like game notes whether or not you use it specifically or not
it doesnt track it in the slightest
its up to your personal choice
lmao fr. i thought the situation would be reversed
its easy way out for people who struggle with arenas
24/30/38 for different charge level
Stone:
honestly enough time has passed
stone is boring
oh yeah i'm fine with sand being good. it's just moreso a bummer that hammer got nerfed meaning it seems they want to balance abilities but then they'll just go off the wall with others
mecha ain’t even that good
Yeah, I think having some moves be really broken is probably a net positive
mecha has raw presentation and its all that matters
leaf uppercut = hi-jump
balance
this is true
Mecha also seems best against aerials with the fireballs
hammer is like
if sand is "easy mode" ability
hammer is "this ability is great but you gotta get good with it"
It's always been that
How many I-Frames does Hi-Jump Have?
now its especially that now that its crutchs been nerfed
Great at every level but you won't first try true arena with it
hammer def has always been designed as "risk and reward" but here the reward is not greater than what you'd get from sand
yeah but thats the point of self imposed challenge lol
and theres little to no risk with sand
granted im okay with a kirby game not having hammer as Speedrun Optimal for the 40 billionth time lol. but it feels weird
hammer's supposed to be one of the Really Strong ones and you feel like there Is a reason to use it. hamemr flip just feels meh now
I think it's nice that the "kinda weird on paper" ability is the one that's optimal this time
Just thinking, what if I use Hi-Jump as a copy ability for arena?
pretty sure its not even true for most modern games. i think only triple deluxe has hammer as its optimal speedrun strategy
i think on SRC hammer is used for prb as well
and i wanna say hammer was used in original rtdl but i don't remember exactly
Like, I accidentally switch to Hi-Jump for the Landia Fight, and I demolish him with Hi Jump
i heard that tornado was arena killer in og rtdl
just how viable is Hi Jump? hmm...
probably for casual play but i doubt for speedruns. but now i'll check and see
Most of them are "99% of players use hammer, speedrunners use random off the wall stuff like ninja/ice that aren't THAT good unless you ise specific strat"
makes sense
yeah same thing with twin drill lol
Hi jump is probably great on some and miserable on others, given it's limited directionality
ok yeah it seems it was hammer for og rtdl
personally replaying arenas in rtdl dx as dedede many times just makes me hope that if 3ds games get remade they will add option of playing through those arenas as dedede/meta knight respectively because i genuinely don't see why not
I mean, I did beat the Landia pretty easily with Hi Jump
hi jump is a situational ability
bums me out you can't do it with bwd in colosseum lol. he's fun to play as but i don't got a second person on me - and i don't wanna afk with kirby while attacking with bwd that would just feel silly lol
but then again, Landia does seem like the perfect enemy to beat with Hi Jump
it’s great in some places but it’s stinky everywhere else
Is Dedede 2nd best behind sand in RTDLD?
i wanna say yes but let me check
Yeah, Landia strikes me as one that's gonna go down fast to hi jump. Aerial enemies are in a bad position
Meta Knight
Meta is better than ddd?
dedede is up there for sure though
When Sand and Mecha were announced I thought I’d prefer mecha but damn sand is awesome
yeah mk's counter does absurd damage and shuttle loop is useful too
i think its PURELY because of chaos elfilis recycling qte and i think if this is the only reason its pretty dumb because that qte in chaos elfilis was unnecessary
pretty sure everyone was expecting mecha to be way more interesting than sand
lmao ikr. it takes like 5 seconds but i have trouble thinking of ways to incorporate bwd when it exists. like they could do a new struggle but then they have to design brand new animations for a veyr specific situation and they just don't wanna do that lol
I was more interested in Sand, but mostly just because it looked like the "weird" one of the two and those are always more interesting to me
i get the like. Narrative Effect of kirby having to forcibly pull elfilis's soul out but c'mon!
same here lol. now i feel like a Poser since it's actually a good ability
Mecha or Jet?
i prefer jet! i recently decided it's my favorite kirby ability in general lol
it's just fun
(And Good)
i mean honestly they could've literally just
make it an animation
there's very little point of it being a qte
its not difficult
literally never failed it
yeah once chaos elfilis reaches that sliver of health, the orb just sorta magically pulls itself out
I imagined kirby like standing on the sidelines and only intervening to do this one QTE but that would look a little silly lmao
Yeah you can genuinely just leisurely rotate the stick and be fine
but i guess the main reason why this wasnt the option i think is that bandee was VERY likely be a huge afterthought
oh man I used to hate jet
i see speedruns where they like end the qte basically as soon as the spear starts aiming to hit kirby and im like Wtf how
like theres leftovers of player 2 just being yellow kirby which probably mean bwd wasn't their first thought as a multiplayer character
oh yeah that makes sense with the scrapped 2p yellow kirby

robobot made me realize that it’s a force to be reckoned with if you master it
The "wiggle the stick" qte stuff is way easier if you just rotate the stick.
I think I first realized how absurdly good it is in helper to hero's arena
mainly was utilizing that silly star grab
true!
robobot's jet actually fucked me over once in a really funny way
honestly though if bandee was this much of an afterthought its still impressive to me how much personality they managed to add into his animations during mouthful mode sequences and such
HAL making the best even out of last minute decisions lol
reached star dream's inner phase for the first time. Got to the red ring phase at a sliver of health. Knew about the red rings ignoring i-frames.
i jumped to avoid the last wave of them and tried to hover - but hover went way faster than i expected lmao
the second time i got here i just discarded the ability before the rings. Sorry Jet i'm not risking it
real - his animations look rly nice
would love to witness a clip of someone seeing them and thinking "ok i'm just gonna use stone - WHAT"
me
Guess Star Dream really rocked you huh!
"Heartless Tears"
The tears are those ill fated true arena runs
Crocodile tears
i mean stone blocks MOST attacks, not all of them lmao
there was no precedent prior to this attack for any attack being able to pierce through stone - except for like black holes which yeah cuz they move you
but something simple like a red wave? i don't blame ppl for getting hit by it lol
hellos quick questions about magolandadadadaedahjfkgrbt
can you change your switch's internal clock to bypass the samurai kirby 100 thin
*thing
so you can still get your scores recorded on the same day
is it for mission purposes?
if you're concerned about magoland missions, you can do that game as many times as you need so don't worry about the daily thing
(otherwise idk)
If so there’s no need you can do it as many times as you want
no its not for missions, im just trying to get a #1 score recorded for personal satisfaction lol
it doesnt really matter i was just wondering
then probably not
:(((((( oh well
wheel for next kirby game
this speedrun showed up in my recommendations https://youtu.be/iPX6C3miQA0
They really had fun editing this lmao
they just gave water galboros garchomp's cry wtf
water garchomp
amazing
wow this video is like a plethora of japanese memes
euh
lmao ikr. A lot of them I do not get
Except the one that said "donkey kong" i know that name
my gut tells me there's probably jojo references in here since the soundbytes sound similar to the vibe i've heard in jojo clips. But i only know za warudo so i rly don't know lmao
wow the smash ult kill screen edit was so smooth
Mah gaw
yooooooooooo
plenty of jp TA videos present damage numbers
really cool tbh
oh yeah i've seen em before! tho the fact they have it pop up every time the hit plays out in-game rather than laying them out beforehand is impressive
louis is still working on the PR Spark TA TAS
ooh
For casuals it always is stone
How come player 1 can play different characters in the arenas, but not in Magoland? It makes me sad
Probably because you can go in and out of the main mode and Magoland
It would be nice if you could pick characters when actually playing the games though, even if you're still Kirby on the warp star or whatever
But yeah it makes sense
how on earth do you dodge the rampaging doomers black hole attack as kirby
i just hold block and pray i literally don't understand how you can get away
most abilities should be able to defeat them during the black hole
just attack them
i'm pretty sure they just expect you to dodge through the doomers
I don’t remember the black hole being hard to dodge what do they do
they set 6 spinning explosive clouds around the black hole
i think you can shield it with sand idk
use sand castle
again if you play aggressively you should be able to defeat them during this already
btw I just figured out they get 0.5 guard multiplier during the black hole
but you can hit all four if the move allows
its easy to attack them during the black hole
they're super vulnerable when they're setting it up or whatever the term is
0.7 when all four are on the screen (including the background glide)
0.5 during the black hole
1.0 for the rest
as someone who is the dumbass of all time what does this mean
you can shield anything with sand
i hate infinite block!!
S U C C
I sprint to the corner, then once the little black hole goes away, I move a bit out of the corner before the little explosion clouds go off. Sometimes I use the black hole itself as momentum to get out of the corner in time, but dodge roll works too
also late but i think "guard multiplier" is the damage reduction a boss gets during a certain phase. so if it's 0.5, the boss takes half damage.
(i don't know for sure but i'm Assuming lmao)
i think you're right 😅
ahh i didn't realize that video showed that
i saw those purple numbers but didn't register what they meant lol
the left 0.75 is the combo multiplier
oh what's a combo multiplier? like when you attack too fast after your first attack?
ya if it's within 24 frames in RtDL
ahh makes sense
is there ever a frame window where it gets completely nullified because i remember seeing an entire balloon bomb do 0 damage
boss i-frames are determined by the move power
in this instance i think they threw a kunai before the bomb hit
35F if power≥35
27F if power≥25
19F if power≥20
15F if power≥11
11F if power≥6
7F if power≥1
ahh so they have complete invincibility in those situations? or just resistance
complete invincibility
ahh gotcha
one reason why Magolor Soul isn't that hard among the soul bosses is that he doesn't have any guard multiplier
mmmm ok thanks
he still takes full damage during Miracle Beam (even though in other soul bosses' case they might have increased defense here)
what rtdl bosses have a silly guard multiplier
Goriath and Hydriath
they have very high defense when breaking the floor
and again, TA Magolor Soul originally has 2000 base HP but is multiplied by 0.75 due to the TA code
in the end TA Magolor Soul has 1500 (600+900)
for comparison, Astral Birth Void has 2000 HP and a dynamic guard multiplier (1/0.75/0.5/0.25)
HAL wants you to listen to the medley
too bad the 8-bit part is too far back in the song where most people wont realistically hear it in-game
...similar to how kirby get more defense when kirby has low hp? :o
yeah
the only annoying part of Magolor is his teleport location
left/right is 50/50
prob why i see most ppl try to stay at the center and attack at the 2nd and 3rd teleport
yeah it depends on the ability
The new magolor soul got a lot of hype at the start but I really don't see how I'm going to struggle with it. Aerial bosses get owned in this game.
So far I think this remake's even easier than the original
That’s why I gave the bitch 8600 HP
not really for me
especially if you go with no ability
og Magolor Soul gets 999 HP when HAL thought that's like "maxed"
same for Sectonia Soul part 1
then dx Magolor Soul in Extra gets 1200 instead lol
About right for SA era health ig
God I can’t wait for Basil Editing to become a thing so I can give arena Magolor Soul like 3333HP
me who fights void for like an hour so i can listen to the song over and over like a lunatic
(it is good practice)
will be possible to remove the arena/true arena multiplier thing with basil, so you can get full fight with base boss hp? 
give master crown 100000 hp
that sounds EXtremely terrible... 😅
considering that boss mostly spend on the background, and attack chance is very limited due to that
i never thought of that but that makes it even better
pyribbit 100k hp
that's just SKC Pyribbit
all whispy woods variants 2 mil hp
mag soul 200k hp specifically in TA so i can enjoy my suffering and also the music
got the true extra achievement in tome trackers
yoooo epic
is the true extra achievements just the extra 20 missions or am i missing something here?
yeah that's it
oh ok
tome trackers' was to score 20+ on level 3
im fairly certain you dont need to complete the extra missions for 100%
you do in your heart
cant even score 18 on level 3 smh
i got 19 like three times 😭
lmao
im almost done with these
crackity hack was the easiest one for me
because i kept grinding it for the tickets lmao
yeah that one's fair you just gotta learn the timing
my record is 26, you can do it
i think i've gotten 999 multiple times already
i believe in you
thank you big jack horner
samurai kirby ive gotten #1 on but i think that one's bs too
it's not a challenge it's an accessibility issue
you can't get better at this you can either do it or you can't
yeah ik
samurai kirby in general tho it what im criticizing for this
there r many people who just aren't going to be physically capable of beating it
i think samurai kirby was fairly easy for me but i didnt have fast reaction time for some matches
yeah i aint gettin #1, most ive gotten is 5 or 4
you gotta do it before the thing shows up
it's easy for me too and i somehow did get #1
i was grinding missions so ye
for #1 lmao
me when the epilogue confirms that microtransactions are canon to kirby
havent played epilogue yet but i know the ending
not sure i like that the microtransaction game is canon over the obama one
so basically in magolor epilogue you fight haltmann, sectonia, and nova as the first three bosses
i dont wanna know EVERYTHING about it
dont worry that was a joke
thought so but just in case :p
you also face mario
as a mini boss
along with zelda (the guy with the green elf hat) and donkey kong
i mean... you technically fought with DK in rtdl when you think about it 🤔
me omw to draw gk not accurately again
gk. gonkey kong
got the hitless run for booming blasters
that one was also a little absurd but not luck-based at least
now i gotta do the "three enemies with one shot" one
got it
just the all 1st places on tour now
i think my favorite subgame is checkerboard chase
bc it's about developing a strategy more than anything
i was able to observe what the AI was doing then it clicked i could push their strats further
(^ rpg player)
my favorite is crackity hack because of how easy it is to grind it
(^ someone with no skill)
fair
fair indeed
ive got 3 wins on tour and the last game is smash ride
wish me luck lol
i lost </3
lmao L (i would not be able to do 3 wins on tour)
started another tour. the first game was tome trackers. i won but with 19 points.
also when you play the epilogue, try your best to upgrade dash b a lot
(its really fucking good)
but you can choose whatever you want to upgrade i'm jus giving a funny recommendation
alright
egg catcher is bs
its probably because im bad
but i dont care i already knew that
im gamer
i hate that you dont get an option to quit between games during a tour
you need to start the next one and wait for it to load before you can
i got the perfect lineup but messed up the timing on crackity hack. it's so over
i've only ever played tour once because magoland is my misery
what the fuck i just got a perfect egg catcher run
im cracked
I FUCKED UP CRACKITY HACK AGAIN
i think the bluetooth lag is screwing me i was playing handheld yesterday and was way better at this </3
lmao
I LOST ON BOOMING BLASTERS
I LITERALLY JUST HAD TO PLAY THIS ONE PERFECTLY?
two cpus aggro'd me immediately </333
the cpu: 
just did a perfect game of ninja dojo. all bullseyes
second time ive done this
one more. this time it's checkerboard chase
i should have this
NO..
joewari da..
what
Hello
Id just like to say something (ase a joke)
Return to dreamland deluxe should totaly be called Kirby Returns to Return to Dreamland
XD
true
untrue
they should call it kirby: video game
Holy shit I jump back to this game after a month of not playing it and this is what happens
