Kirby RtDL Deluxe Leaks/Datamines

[craggy frost]

I bet galacta is morpho this time.
I bet

[vivid niche]

even if it's fake, whoever made it did their research well

[craggy frost]

For the third fight

[vivid niche]

no local wireless, amiibo support,

[chilly ibex]

THIS TAKE ON HIS OUTFIT IS SO COOL

[broken smelt]

Ear reveal

[distant umbra]

Honestly I wish new boss fights

[broken smelt]

I love the tied knot he has in the front

[noble lynx]

this is extremely hard to fake i would think

who the fuck knows how to mod KSA for you to add outlines

[craggy frost]

The original galacta will still be in it.
But if we are going all afterlife, high chance of butterflies

[snow stump]

Final boss

(Real)

[vivid niche]

the ||bosses will be Magolor themed it seems||

||notice the gear on his belly and the horns||

[distant umbra]

I mean the Nier Automata secret door turns out to be fake

[broken smelt]

This is his purgatory

[distant umbra]

from a mod

[high nimbus]

wait holy shit if his ear is like that....

[vivid niche]

a mod of an existing game

[craggy frost]

It has runes! And the color scheme of original magolor concept

[noble lynx]

girl how is this relevant to this specific instance

[high nimbus]

???????

[cloud pasture]

||Paradise Puffer no way||

[toxic crown]

yea this is not that same thing

[craggy frost]

Im so hype now

Extra extra versions

[vivid niche]

||I like to call this guy Shattered Magolor||

[craggy frost]

I wonder if this will be like star allies.
3 versions of each boss

[vivid niche]

maaaybe?

[mortal dock]

why is his hand fucked up

[distant umbra]

It might be possible to fake those screenshots
I'm happy if this is true but I'm saying there is also a possibility.

[toxic crown]

its not

[distant umbra]

Hold your breaths

[toxic crown]

that looks correct for the perspective

[high nimbus]

he got AI'd

[snow stump]

I’m not holding my breath

[craggy frost]

Also if this is real. I bet there's a true arena as well

With these boys

[noble lynx]

theres always been a true arena

[mortal dock]

I thought he usually just has the thumb and the mitten

[distant umbra]

well of course you'll die waiting

[craggy frost]

A truer arena

[snow stump]

Guessing he’s white cause purification and all that shit

Bro got purged

[craggy frost]

Soul melter + like

With the magolor bosses

[vivid niche]

or something to do with Another Dimension

like how the star portal stuff are monochrome

[remote kindle]

Also could be white to signify being like a ghost

[toxic crown]

the hand isnt fucked up he is holding his hand up like the sun is in his eyes or something

[cloud pasture]

||That's the shadow on his palm's bottom which he has always had||

[toxic crown]

thats his palm not a second thumb

[onyx jackal]

||ear reveal||

[high nimbus]

for the sake of balance I guess he won't have everything of his star allies moveset? and probably not gem apple either

[broken smelt]

I love the ear

[noble lynx]

like both of these logos look perfectly localized from HAL lab's japanese logo down to the colors

[craggy frost]

Oh here's what im prediciting:
Magalor mode: paradise bosses + a new version of morpho (maybe different since we are in his realm (probably)
Truer arena final boss : paradise magolor (new version) (maybe the original gamecube model who knows)

[high nimbus]

otherwise he be mowing down bosses

[vivid niche]

||he has an upgradable moveset btw||

[noble lynx]

like how WaiWai = Merry

and its Red compared to the actual title Magoland which is blue

[toxic crown]

yea i was gunna say the logos look really strong too

[hallow laurel]

I think this funny part is like

it proves that he's just a chocolate egg with ears

[high nimbus]

wait he's not a distant traveler?

[vivid niche]

guess he finally got his haircut

[high nimbus]

oh should probably tag that

[craggy frost]

When did the game come out? 26th february? Earlier? Dont remember

[onyx jackal]

||not anymore!!!||

[broken smelt]

24

[toxic crown]

24

[mortal dock]

am I dumb I cannot for the life of me unsee two thumbs

[craggy frost]

Hype

[cloud pasture]

This will def go hard

[vivid niche]

there's a 99% chance that a direct is happening in 8th

[broken smelt]

He thinkin

[vivid niche]

we'll probably get more details

[onyx jackal]

Thinkin of making art of ||the undead magolor design and the magoland one||

[vivid niche]

I hope it's decently long

[marble vortex]

I WAS RIGHT

[vivid niche]

||though 12 upgrades for a 1 hour long game would be weird either way||

[mortal dock]

ok wait I think I see it nvm

[vivid niche]

tag it

[mortal dock]

took me a minute

[vivid niche]

@marble vortex

and we all predicted it lmao

[craggy frost]

YEYEYEY

[cloud pasture]

It's his palm lol

[marble vortex]

Oops

I forgot

[vivid niche]

nope

[mortal dock]

oh his palm is caked up

[vivid niche]

also still tag it

@craggy frost

[high nimbus]

why does his palm have buns

[onyx jackal]

What if

[vivid niche]

I wish

[broken smelt]

Incredible prediction

[craggy frost]

Amazing

[glass juniper]

Peak fiction

[errant perch]

||I’m pretty sure the reason the render looks weird is because he’s holding his left hand upside down, like when you shield you eyes to block out the sun||

[vivid niche]

||it says Magic Sphere||

[cloud pasture]

Exactly

[vivid niche]

yeah the hand looks fine

it's the outlines that make it confusing

[mortal dock]

yeah my eyes are just dumb lol

[cloud pasture]

||"What if I could [UNINTELLIGIBLE]? That would help me get my powers back a little quicker."||

[vivid niche]

this game will probably beat FL for me

[broken smelt]

Damn that’s pretty good

[marble vortex]

||maybe this is why he had his boss abilities in dream collection?||

[mortal dock]

||i hope this means we can use mago in true arena||

[cloud pasture]

||And yea Magic Sphere's the black orbs he makes in his fights & KSA & KF2||

Oopsie

[broken smelt]

What’s does the TWO mean though??

[mortal dock]

probably the cost for the skill power

[chilly ibex]

for easier viewing purposes and bc im lazy

[vivid niche]

probably "costs 2 [colelctible]"

[mortal dock]

2 of some point system

[broken smelt]

Right that’s probably it

[vivid niche]

there's a weird tracker here

kinda looks like ||Lor||?

[high nimbus]

looks like currency to me

[broken smelt]

Yeah I think it is

[onyx jackal]

||pieces of lor's soul||

[chilly ibex]

most likely ||lor||

[toxic crown]

wonder how expansive the mode will be

[onyx jackal]

||get all of them to go to the final boss, lor mind controlled by fecto forg||

[mortal dock]

I hope it's sad or touching

I wanna be broken

[vivid niche]

you guys know me, I don't care about lore too much

just show me fun designs and cool gameplay

[chilly ibex]

ye

[sweet lagoon]

||I want to see magolor atone for his sins||

[high nimbus]

I just hope it's canon so I can tell people magolor canonically went to hell

[vivid niche]

||I wanna explore AD||

[chilly ibex]

gimmie something pog

[mortal dock]

morpho feels like a shoe in. can't see him not appearing

[reef root]

are you care about lor tho? 🤔

[vivid niche]

yes

[cloud pasture]

||(Aeon Hero appears instead as Galacta Knight EX)||

[vivid niche]

also prediction,

[mighty breach]

I think I figured what he's saying

[vivid niche]

||Galacta Knight may appear in this mode's ending, his True Arena environment fits it perfectly||

[snow stump]

||AD better not just be the same tileset over and over again but actually use the ones from the levels like Grass and Desert and all that shit||

[cloud pasture]

Woah holy shit

[vivid niche]

||and Magolor Soul will instead appear at the very end of True Arena||

[errant perch]

Maybe butterflies are common but not morpho himself, seems a bit overdone at this point for a 4 year old character and probably needs a bit of a break

[mighty breach]

[high nimbus]

"Kirby I need your help, all you need to do is tell me dedede's credit card number"

[vivid niche]

||with a final Soul phase||

||I hope we get a Pinch Mode for CROWNED kinda like World to Win||

[cloud pasture]

||The environment in the original was just a variation of Dangerous Dinner Stage 3 tbf||

[snow stump]

Inhabitants of Pop Star, Magolor needs YOUR help

[boreal shuttle]

Magolor Soul Soul

[cloud pasture]

YES

[reef root]

||maybe master crown itself gonna be final phase in that case...?||

[cloud pasture]

||Another Dimension collapsing during the new last phase||

[vivid niche]

yeah that's what I'm thinking

[mortal dock]

he just feels way too fitting. ||the whole probable theme of retribution and sin and death, the hellish theme of the mode, morpho being the grim reaper, rtdl being the game that introduced the butterfly||

[vivid niche]

||giant eyeball monster||

[mortal dock]

it makes too much sense to me lol

[errant perch]

Yea, it could go either way tbh

[mighty breach]

Would be actually so cool if he went to ||Hades||

[snow stump]

||mix between Magolor Soul and miracle matter||

Actually demented idea

[vivid niche]

||mix between Magolor Soul and Dark Matter||

[cloud pasture]

YES

[sweet lagoon]

||I’d rather not see morpho again but I will admit it would make a ton of sense for him to show up||

[vivid niche]

agreed with kazooiee

[snow stump]

||like that concept art where he’s got flaming hair and he’s more crown than Magolor||

[mortal dock]

||if magolor has his star allies kit and upgrades to choose from, I hope the bosses we find are "up to snuff" for such a powerful kit lol||

[snow stump]

^

[errant perch]

||Maybe Morpho could show up in some other way outside of a boss fight ||

[remote kindle]

||I think it's implied he has an upgradeable moveset||

[vivid niche]

||a friend of mine says that Master Crown could've sucked Magolor's energy, that's why he's all broken and white||

||and lost his powers||

waaaaaaait a minute

[high nimbus]

oh yeah what about the ||upside down magolor soul design. I could see that be the new final boss for his mode||

[cloud pasture]

||I think it'd be cool if his horns and wings melt off in the new final form and the crown's claws to around him and the golden claws around the orb would then resemble Dark Matter's orange fins||

[mortal dock]

||seems that way - I hope the bosses are adjusted to fit how powerful magolor will be||

[high nimbus]

can't find the original pic here have this one someone recreated for a mod

[vivid niche]

||the official artwork implies that Magolor's glove is actually torn apart in this phase||

[high nimbus]

that one

[cloud pasture]

||Yep||

[vivid niche]

||what if it's related to Shattered Magolor||

[broken smelt]

This will become real

[high nimbus]

thank you!
yeah that one

[cloud pasture]

I think this one's idea is still cool

[broken smelt]

can’t wait to see the climax to this I know it’ll be insane

[snow stump]

Me favorite

[mortal dock]

the whole premise of the mode is insane. this is gonna be so good

[mighty breach]

me when I enter octopus mode (reblog if you relate)

[cloud pasture]

I like how the inversion is still KINDA carried over in the final design

With his wings resembling the cape

SANS MAGOLOR REAL

[mortal dock]

I want a character who ||tells magolor all of his moral shortcomings in the final confrontation where magolor has like Developed since then and can prove he's more than what he was. may be a stretch but would be cool||

[high nimbus]

yo my dad worked at nintendo just sent me this. Hell Goriath leaked???????

[mighty breach]

ok hear me out
||if it DOES in fact take place in Hades...
what if Papi||

[snow stump]

OH HELL NAH

[cloud pasture]

||Papi as the Elfilin of this mode||

||Just imagine though, if this mode is real, I legitimately just want a red & yellow butterfly chase sequence like Heavy Lobster & Fecto Forgo man. It'd be so funny||

[onyx jackal]

||magolor fights his inner demons||

[remote kindle]

||If the butterfly did appear in this extra mode then why wouldn't it just absorb magolor?||

[cloud pasture]

||Galacta Knight slashes it ||

[high nimbus]

||maybe it wants pure soul and magolor's is very not pure||

[reef root]

||i can't wait for hade dooter in this mode :)||

[remote kindle]

||idk if I can call galacta's soul pure ||

[cloud pasture]

||Doom/Paradise Dooter||

||What if they retranslate his name to Mr. Doubter||

[high nimbus]

||still banking on them being called Doom [boss name] so we can get Doom Doomer||

[mighty breach]

it straight up gets replaced by Barry

[sweet lagoon]

||HELL DOOTER||

[cloud pasture]

||Paradise Dooter/Doubter||

[high nimbus]

||Hell Woods would sound pretty sick, but "Hell" is not getting past the localization, sadly||

||unless mr kumazaki interferes and says it's important to the lore that they are called Hell||

[errant perch]

||“Crispy woods”||

[cloud pasture]

Get out

[worn bridge]

Amazing

[errant perch]

Wasn’t my original name to begin with

[high nimbus]

||petition for "Sinner" bosses. Sinner Woods||

[bronze echo]

update: apparently this Is real, from a friend of an acquaintance who works at gamestop. the issue is i spread it without knowing that the intent was not to spread it

[cloud pasture]

Oh rip

[sweet lagoon]

that sucks

[high nimbus]

uh oh

[mighty breach]

hope they don't get fired for that

[errant perch]

Welp, now this damage can no longer be undone

[mighty breach]

Immediately forget everything we saw

[high nimbus]

the one hal assassin lurking in this server gonna hear you

[remote kindle]

I hope for your acquaintance's sake that this doesn't escape the discord

Hopefully they don't get fired

[cloud pasture]

||I think it's a bit late now, pretty sure I've seen it on Twitter too||

[dull jay]

It's already on twitter and some news sites

[onyx jackal]

||implying fecto forgo is pure||

[errant perch]

The SAS are gonna break into my house and wipe my memories (Haltman moment)

[high nimbus]

gamers, if anyone ask, the source is my uncle who worked at sega

[remote kindle]

Oof

[toxic crown]

unless they explicitly say who they are

they are probably fine

[remote kindle]

Just trust me bro

[toxic crown]

no way they can track the picture alone

[bronze echo]

basically i get this long dm from an acquaintance saying the leak was from their server and that they're going to verbally kick the ass of whoever let it spread

and like dude this shit happens chill

i had none of this context and neither did the friend i got it from

[worn bridge]

Yeah, there's no way they can track down this image

[toxic crown]

also considering its box art shit its realyl not that big of a deal

[worn bridge]

Also this

[toxic crown]

gunna be revealed next direct anyways

[errant perch]

Well it’s kind of a given that leaking something without permission is most likely a no-go

[bronze echo]

i literally just woke up man... what did i miss

[reef root]

on the bright side i'm really glad that info is actually legit not the well made fake leak 😅

[high nimbus]

unless

[remote kindle]

Now we can just rot away waiting for a direct

[bronze echo]

i highly doubted this was fake

[remote kindle]

Don't unless this PLEASE

[cloud pasture]

Yeah I really doubt that it's fake too

[dull jay]

I just need a new trailer that shows what the missions are
Who cares about ||hades||

[reef root]

me

[high nimbus]

I just need a new trailer to show me if they add bandee's dab dash from star allies into the game

[cloud pasture]

||ur stuck there||

[dull jay]

Already confirmed

[high nimbus]

wait fr???

[glass juniper]

yea

[dull jay]

It's in the japanese website

[high nimbus]

oh those mini video

he doesn't dab anymore what's the point

[glass juniper]

I wonder if thats gonna be part of Spear as well

or exclusive to Dee

[mortal dock]

I imagine dee exclusive

like how dedede has his jump

first leak discussion in the non leak thread, and now non leak discussion in the leak thread!

[mighty breach]

It's either Dee exclusive or Dee dexclusive

[snow stump]

But a secret third thing

[high nimbus]

anyways leak discussion, there's non-zero percent chance that ||Magolor Epilogue takes place way after robobot and you can meet sect and maxx down in hell :copium:||

[mighty breach]

||I don't think they'd go that far for this subgame||

||but god would it be so cool||

||BUT WOULD WE BE ABLE TO SAVE THEM THO||

[cloud pasture]

||Haltmann when he's trying to build a machine to escape Hades but has no idea how to build anything anymore||

||Because he has forgotten everything||

[high nimbus]

||star dream fried his brain ||

[reef root]

haltmann forgor

[mighty breach]

||Magolor goes to hell, meets the dead final bosses and goes "ah hell naw I ain't hanging out with those losers bye" and then kills death||

[high nimbus]

||as someone mentioned in the other leak chat, would be cool if death turned out to be necrodeus||

||💀 wait actually that would be great, a whole new generation to learn that the skeleton appears originated from kirby||

[mighty breach]

B-b-but Dark Nebula!

[high nimbus]

oh yeah

[mighty breach]

Japanese version would have Necrodeus, west versions would have Dark Nebula

[high nimbus]

ruler of the underworld, less relevant than a rat

[cloud pasture]

||ruler of the underworld is a localization thing for Dark Nebula, yeah. In JP it's ruler of darkness||

[mighty breach]

||Lamest option would be the ruler of the underworld being another Dedede clone like King D-Mind||

||King N-Crodeus||

[high nimbus]

||King D-Matter||

[mighty breach]

||King D-Nuts||

[high nimbus]

||and his henchman slugmargoon||

[dull jay]

The leak is already on twitter everywhere i go and there are people complaining about the prologue existing

[high nimbus]

😴 twitter opinions

[mellow snow]

Oh good so this leak wasn’t a fever dream I had awesome

Now to wait for a trailer

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-bob-sponge-forever-tired-gif-7583491

[high nimbus]

can't wait for kirby to drop a trailer on pokemon day

[vital seal]

thanks for reminding me of art i did long time ago regarding that

[high nimbus]

real

[mellow snow]

Raw

[vital seal]

||Drawcia|| would be absolutely based tho

[high nimbus]

dang

kirby series do be having a lot of dead people that would make a great cameo for this trip to hell

[errant perch]

Yo, both of those drawings are amazing

[dull jay]

The mage sisters should quickly appear and disappear as children in the background

[high nimbus]

💀 lmao

[scarlet ether]

||yeah could definitely put someone like Marx down here||

[vital seal]

would be super funny if Necrodeus was referenced

[high nimbus]

anyways I hope this leak is real and I hope people do fan art for that magolor design because he's cool as hell

[cloud pasture]

Mfw ||Magolor escapes Hades and then you see a silhouette of some orb jester||

||Looking at the portal||

[lofty slate]

Magolor has to face past bosses in order to repent his sins lol

Knowing HAL, they are prob going to make this story dark af real quick from the get go and have a detailed explanation of everything

[cloud pasture]

Hehe

[high nimbus]

wouldn't it be funny if this is somehow origin story for him ->

[cloud pasture]

explanation [...] everything

[high nimbus]

magolor went to hell and found the most sinful practice of all: microtransaction

[mellow snow]

Hoping this mode has a good amount of story and dialogue
Especially since we already know ||Magolor speaks in this mode||

[quaint osprey]

||thing is. We have Drawcia mask so||

[cloud pasture]

Magolor when he has to wear white and green ||because his blue and yellow became monochrome and torn||

[quaint osprey]

Fuck imagine this is how Kumazaki brings her for realsies into mainline Kirby game

[scarlet ether]

||imagine if the Gem Apples came from Hades||

[quaint osprey]

||Magolor fighting her in hell||

[worn bridge]

||I wouldn't think they'd bring back pre-RTDL antagonists||

[high nimbus]

honestly ||I hope torn magolor becomes a costume for him in future(?) playable appearance||

[lofty slate]

||HAL going into detail about Magolors death: “As soon as Kirby defeated the crowned menace, his soul shattered within, causing it to burn up, and was sentenced to hell for his sins” or something along those lines (and more) ||

[worn bridge]

||"Oh hey kirby! I decided the wear my robes from that one time I clawed my way out of hell."||

[dull jay]

||torn magolor as dlc in fighters 3||

[quaint osprey]

||These are only ones they can logically use unless they go fully insane
Well besides new versions of already existing rtdl bosses obvs||

[scarlet ether]

||I think they might bring back Nightmare or Marx in some way (maybe not in this mode) at least||

[quaint osprey]

||Plus it's clearly more "new" so i wouldn't be surprised if there were a few completely original fighte||

[vague vector]

Honestly the only problem I have with this remake with the lack of scope shot....but I'm gonna buy it anyways cause this is shaping up to be peak fiction even though they really shouldn't have removed scope shot

[quaint osprey]

At this point i lowkey think that scopeshot will be in this in some fashion

[high nimbus]

scope shot implemented into lor fight

[vague vector]

Imagine if it's still in the lor but we just don't know LMAO

[high nimbus]

you now fight her in first person

[mellow snow]

||I still can’t believe we can see Magolor’s ear now lol||

[dull jay]

Gun gun blaster is basically 2d scope shot
And the ssu minigame also is similar

[scarlet ether]

||Epilogue has Scope Shot-styled fight (instead of Landia again) lol||

[quaint osprey]

Like this is not "let's do this in a few months to grab some cash" remake
It's "let's make fans go WILD" kind of remake

[lofty slate]

||”Magolor has truly lost all of his hope after a riveting battle with the pink demon, will he be able to repent his sins, or will he burn in hell for all of eternity???”||

[worn bridge]

||Zero Two revamped bossfight using scope shot||

[mortal dock]

||I always forget magolor is just brown. like that's not the shadow hiding his face that's just his actual color||

[bronze echo]

im sorry i doubted your childlike optimism klu

[quaint osprey]

It's kind of remake where after we play it we say that it's the definitive version of the game

[scarlet ether]

||OH TRUE THEY COULD TOTALLY DO THIS (especially if they brought back Marx and Nightmare too, they were at Music Fest lol)||

[quaint osprey]

It's okay im just glad that it paid off for everyone

[worn bridge]

Wait....they did...tease the subgames in that fest....

[mortal dock]

the ONE thing I need from this remake is for them to make super inhale mapped to mashing a button and not being forced to wiggle the joystick or joycon itself

[bronze echo]

this is filling me with futile hope again. god will any of the rest of my faves get cool sidemodes in the future

[mortal dock]

I'm worried bc super inhale with joystick does not sound pleasant lol

[rich sigil]

kirby 64 remake featuring Ado's Adventure

[bronze echo]

drift speedrun any%

[high nimbus]

when my joycon drifted and kirby won't stop sucking

[lofty slate]

Magolor has seen the shadow realm

[high nimbus]

[vague vector]

||SCOPE SHOT EX OH MY FUCKING GOSHHHHH||

[scarlet ether]

lol yeah
||idk if they would bring back Flowered Sectonia and Star Dream but Nightmare and Marx wouldn't be too hard to bring back||

[bronze echo]

the ksa remake in 9000 years is going to destroy me

[cloud pasture]

||Kumazaki when he starts going on a rant about how because Hades is in Another Dimension, it is not part of the Space-Time continuum which is why you can fight Haltmann & Sectonia before their respective deaths occurred in Magolor's time||

[vague vector]

||us scope shot fans would be eating good if that was real...||

[rich sigil]

||also add this to the list of "characters that got a side mode before bandee"||

[mortal dock]

we'll get an amazing mirror remake one day guys. right?

[bronze echo]

honestly i both see and do not see how we have gotten so far into the discussion on ||hades||

[lofty slate]

Uh oh

[hallow laurel]

I forgot the rules about spoilers but you really still need to spoiler stuff even in a leak channel?

[lofty slate]

I asked him

[vital seal]

Super inhale probably is the same way it has been post rtdl. Where you start with normal inhale and it turns to super inhale shortly after

[worn bridge]

It just makes the most sense with what we have atm

[lofty slate]

It’s confirmed by the blue cat himself

[scarlet ether]

usually because it still comes up from search results

[ocean magnet]

||I always think: if anything shouldn't you fight people like necrodious and nightmare in a Morpho knight underworld place?||

||Cuz the point of soul bosses is normally that they are completely obliterated, even, you know, their SOUL||

[bronze echo]

magolor confesses his friendship to kirby and gets sent to turbo hell

[worn bridge]

Double Hell

[hallow laurel]

oh

okay

||for me the most important info is that Magolor is a chocolate egg||

[daring kernel]

[scarlet ether]

||but either way the only Soul boss at that point was Drawcia Soul and Marx Soul (if Marx Soul is even canon)||

[mortal dock]

I think amazing mirror actually introduced this lol. though in the case of RtDL the choice to prolong the inhale is important because that lets you keep sucking without stopping, which is nice for getting giant stars to spit

[worn bridge]

||With Chocolate Ears.||

[ocean magnet]

Now, you may say: yea but I wanna fight ||drawcia again||

Consider this:
||Paintria soul, eternally wandering in search of her sister||

[mellow snow]

You know I should’ve known they would add another mode considering NiDL and SSU had one
||But with MAGOLOR as the main character??? Holy shit||

[mortal dock]

so having it be done automatically might cause issues with this

[hallow laurel]

||that said I do wonder what's the true final boss of Magolor Epilogue||

[bronze echo]

https://youtu.be/0CNGo7OAM0o

[mellow snow]

Hmm

[bronze echo]

i am really tired

[worn bridge]

||Morpho Knight probably||

[mellow snow]

Splatfest

[rich sigil]

honestly the biggest loss is the title not being uhhhhh

what do you call it when 2 words start with the same letter in a title

[hallow laurel]

||What if it's actually Galacta Knight||

[scarlet ether]

||Galacta? Morpho? something Magolor-like? who knows lol||

[worn bridge]

I mean it's on the cover box they can't spoil it too much ig

[hallow laurel]

To be honest, at this point

I wanted to learn about this stuff

[bronze echo]

alliterated

[cloud pasture]

||Magolor Galore||

[hallow laurel]

now I don't have any real motivation to datamine the game

[rich sigil]

yeah but its no dededetour or metaknightmare

[mortal dock]

yea alliteration

[vague vector]

||MeTa KnIgHTmArE!

Meta Knight has set out to practice his sword play. Use his blade to clear the way!

※ You can't save!||

[hallow laurel]

even the demo, just because this information is really enough to convince me

[cloud pasture]

Lmfao

||FNaF title screen lookin ass||

[hallow laurel]

not that I wasn't convinced before

but this is really what I wanted to hear about

[bronze echo]

sand kirby sold me. this shit sold me

[hallow laurel]

||the post-game content was a huge question considering the lacking original Extra mode||

[rich sigil]

||og extra mode sucked||

[hallow laurel]

||Now you just tell me it's potentially the sequel to the story with Magolor getting back from... wherever he was after the end||

[worn bridge]

Five Nights in the Halberd

Meta Knight's eyes flash through the doorway when the power runs out, with a music box version of ROMK's ending playing

[bronze echo]

||that seems to be exactly it||

[hallow laurel]

which for me is enough to kinda dissuade me to datamine in depth

[ocean magnet]

Wait what's the dialogue magolor has in the dream collection again

[mortal dock]

read it as sans kirby and now I have a great idea for another ability

[bronze echo]

wait i misread

i just got up jdhshdsjk

[lofty slate]

||Kirby wants to eat chocolate egg magolor lol||

[high nimbus]

gamers is that gif loading for any of you cuz it froze for me

nvm it's running now

took like a minute

[bronze echo]

but like. sand kirby has been an in joke between one of my best friends and i for like a decade now so seeing it be real and in a kirby game... of course i'm getting it

[scarlet ether]

in Japanese version he says he lives in Dream Land now and that he was bored so he made a theme park iirc
in US version he basically says he's sorry for his past actions which is why he made it

[cloud pasture]

This is still my fav image

[cloud pasture]

Yup

[sweet lagoon]

can I just say mecha still goes so raw

[ocean magnet]

Aw man the 🦋's

[sweet lagoon]

this is much better than mine

[lofty slate]

||Baldi is one of the final boss fights at the end of the mode but this true boss fight is Wagolor Soul ||

[high nimbus]

that ||hell puffer|| blended in so well it caught me offguard

[warm crane]

👌👌👌

[hallow laurel]

I think the weird thing about this is like
||it's weird to see a mode where Magolor actually has thoughts written in plain text in it||

[lofty slate]

Baldi uses the power of the 7 ancient notebooks in order to defeat Magolor

[ocean magnet]

If in the inevitable ||Morpho fight, he uses the phantom attack, I hope it's still the fecto forgo skull, would have insane implications||

[bronze echo]

don't complain. it's what the fans want... ||character writing||

[lofty slate]

“You aren’t surviving my schoolhouse!!! “ (angry noises)

[hallow laurel]

||I actually hope it's not Morpho though||

[mellow snow]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-waiting-for-gif-18331300

[bronze echo]

the more dialogue they write the better

i've been clamoring for this for ages

[sweet lagoon]

||if morpho does show up it would at least be much less from bumfuck nowhere than fl||

[lofty slate]

||Weird ending: Magolor becomes a teacher at Baldi’s schoolhouse in hell||

[high nimbus]

when they give magolor the bigger hyness copypasta

[ocean magnet]

Oh god

[mortal dock]

monkeys paw curls
amount and density of dialogue is on par with YIIK

[bronze echo]

jhdsffgfg

[sweet lagoon]

You did this.

[hallow laurel]

||Actually, if Morpho should show up, I think it shouldn't be the final boss||

[bronze echo]

id play that

hal are good writers

[hallow laurel]

they should play around with that, and reverse Kirby tropes

[ocean magnet]

I'd be down for that

[lofty slate]

https://tenor.com/view/like-a-teacher-angry-pissed-off-annoyed-mad-gif-15740484

Baldi when he sees magolor in his hellspace

[mellow snow]

The hell

[ocean magnet]

Man hal is literally just goated in every regard

except security

[lofty slate]

True final boss

[ocean magnet]

Exactly

[hallow laurel]

||would you consider Galacta Knight showing up AFTER Morpho Knight an insane plot twist||

[scarlet ether]

||I think if he shows up it could just be the butterfly||

[warm crane]

Looks Like have to go full force than

[bronze echo]

it would be interesting at the very least

[ocean magnet]

||"nah, death is boring actually"||

[sweet lagoon]

||once you beat morpho the butterfly is ejected from galacta and you fight him for real||

[hallow laurel]

||that said, there's... kinda something I could see them doing, Magolor could also just fight himself||

[scarlet ether]

||could be like novel, leads the way out||

[lofty slate]

Wagolor

Real

[hallow laurel]

||That said if Magolor would fight himself, the boss should have a real pattern upgrade||

[ocean magnet]

||Phantom magolor from the remnant of the crown||

[bronze echo]

||we know nothing about the context of this mode, so... depending on how much of an extra mode they want to make it this is a reasonable guess||

[hallow laurel]

||it really depends if they mixed it with the original Extra mode||

[bronze echo]

||but at the same time i don't think hal has ever done "the boss fights themselves" in any meaningful way like ever||

[vital seal]

||Can't wait for Hades Hero, Hades Squire, Hades Knight and Hades King, that are just underworlds reflections of Kirby, Bandana Dee, Meta Knight and King Dedede that got manifested out of Magolors memories.||

[hallow laurel]

||that said I think due to the fact he's playable, I think the level design has to partially change to account for him||

||It doesn't look like a speedrun mode to me||

[ocean magnet]

Says I guess I'd this is supposed to be ||new canon, it'd explain why magolor can use buff attacks in star allies/fighters 2||

||He leveled up in hell||

[scarlet ether]

||I mean visuals seem different, pretty sure they're new stages at least||

[bronze echo]

||good. the timers were arbitrary and can go die in a hole for all i care||

[ocean magnet]

Dedede vs shadow dedede

[hallow laurel]

||I actually kinda liked the speedrun modes||

[scarlet ether]

||they could do both in a game (again) if they wanted||

[ocean magnet]

There's definitely fans

[hallow laurel]

||But I do feel like there's also potential for way more||

[bronze echo]

||they're fine, but like. i'm a slow gamer so i'm not fond of the timers specifically||

[dull jay]

||The final boss will obviouly be a battle with the other 3 heros that sealed void||

[bronze echo]

||being able to play as other characters and play different stages/fight different bosses was always super cool||

[hallow laurel]

||Especially after Heroes in Another Dimension and the post game of FL||

[scarlet ether]

||at the same time (it is The Three-Mage Sisters fight again)||

[bronze echo]

||without a time limit you're allowed to have more secrets, make the whole experience more methodical||

[hallow laurel]

||That said Magolor Epilogue, at first glance, seems to be a mix of post-game FL world and Guest Star's buffs||

[scarlet ether]

||it feels like a mix of almost everything, really||

[ocean magnet]

||Don't forget fighters 2 buffs||

[bronze echo]

||it's kind of its own beast||

[scarlet ether]

||HiAD definitely a bit in there too at least, maybe Meta Knightmare Ultra/Returns||

[hallow laurel]

||That said I have a... bit of an idea about this||

[quaint osprey]

||I think it's like going to be like in Star Allies. One new canon mode that continues the story and one mode that remixes main campaign and focused on speedrunning||
It makes the most sense to me

[hallow laurel]

||do you think they could pull an Amazing Mirror in this?||

[bronze echo]

||even from the Two Screenshots we have it seems to have taken from everything||

[quaint osprey]

||they simply never advertise speedrun modes like that||

||while this looks like a major selling point addition||

[hallow laurel]

||Actually they could have both I guess||

[scarlet ether]

||yeah Star Allies had both||

[bronze echo]

||extra mode is probably gonna be the speedrun thingy||

[vague vector]

||imagine if they include both the og extra mode, a bandee speedrun mode, AND THIS||

[hallow laurel]

||I don't mind the idea of a speedrun mode in the slightest, just that on its own, in 2023, it's not as hype||

[bronze echo]

||i mean if you're gonna make us play the game again with few differences at least let us do it a bit faster||

[quaint osprey]

||Besides they won't get rid of huge chunk of og game (original ex bosses)||

[bronze echo]

||you can even throw in the benefit of playing as the other characters||

[toxic crown]

||I still think ex mode is in ||

[hallow laurel]

||That said I really wish if they make an extra speedrun mode that they could, like, allow us to play other characters than Kirby (but also including Kirby in it)||

[toxic crown]

It's not like it's that extensive to leave out

[scarlet ether]

||Magolor EX/Magolor Soul at least they have to put somewhere lol||

[hallow laurel]

||It's dumb for me but I still always found it dumb that Kirby never really had its own speedrun mode where he's playable||

[toxic crown]

||I'm guessing both modes will be unlocked upon game completion ||

[scarlet ether]

||Squeak Squad (but it isn't really anything special lol)||

[toxic crown]

|| also a new arena aka ultimate choice ||

[mortal dock]

the rtdl challenges are cool (but not one steady campaign speedrun)

[unborn current]

all i see is black bars who has censored you people

[hallow laurel]

||Do you think Magolor could get his own challenges||

[bronze echo]

||SQUID GAME!!||

[hallow laurel]

||I'd kinda love to see challenge rooms with all the characters||

[scarlet ether]

Magolor

[bronze echo]

||magolor would make his own challenges though||

||like it makes sense in character||

[unborn current]

||anyway imagine if this new mode starts off as a parallel to FL opening lol||

[toxic crown]

|| Spicy, Soul Melter and Hell Melter||

[hallow laurel]

||oh god don't||

brb

[scarlet ether]

||I don't think they'd do spices/Ultimate Choice theming again||

||maybe they could theme it like a cave with different layers or something like that if they did something Ultimate Choice/Cup-like?||

[toxic crown]

||layers of hell||

[quaint osprey]

That's for sure

[scarlet ether]

||like Arena could be close to the surface, True Arena could be Deep and scary, True Arena EX could be the Underworld/Hades||

[unborn current]

okay thats cool af

reminds me of the glitz pit kinda

[quaint osprey]

Thing with HAL is that they won't remove content without replacing it
And || while Magolor Epilogue looks sick|| it can't really work as a replacement

So i def expect some extra mode revamp

[scarlet ether]

||yeah, Magolor EX and Soul are definitely important||

[toxic crown]

|| they clearly have the outset they want to make this the definitive version of the game so EX mode coming back with no changes seems like the minimum we'll get ||

I don't see any real point to remove it even if it is redundant

[ocean magnet]

My guess is there will just be the two normal ones, ||then something like either the ultimate choice ex + whatever whatever, or the ultimate cup z||

[scarlet ether]

||Magolor EX is where one of Magolor's moves in Star Allies comes from, and besides being a Soul boss (pretty important), Magolor Soul appeared in novel adaptation recently, also it has Grand Hammer/Snow Bowl move equivalent so it would be weird to leave out for that reason too||

[ocean magnet]

||three arenas, just like FL||

[scarlet ether]

||yeah I think they'll have it in one menu slot at least, whatever they do||

[mellow snow]

||Hey so since we have another Extra Mode now an actual Astral Birth/Chaos Magolor fight now seems a little plausible ||

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squarepants-patrick-sneak-sneaky-plan-gif-5698454

[worn bridge]

Oh god

[ocean magnet]

||Nah, the only way we gonna fight magolor in the magolor mode would be phantom or parallel or maybe mirror/dark ig||

[toxic crown]

|| I'm still betting on fighting the crown itself ||

[worn bridge]

||3rd phase where it's literally just an eye||

[scarlet ether]

||I wonder what a 'Magolor Chaos' would be like||

||I mean I doubt it'll actually be Magolor himself at least lol||

[mellow snow]

Yeah

[ocean magnet]

Any relation to a certain white bleeding guy is only circumstantial and coincidental!!!

[quaint osprey]

Yeah
Even then HAL already shown their guts so even bigger revamp can be expected

[mellow snow]

||Make it a manifestation of the crown so Magolor can exists separately ||

[quaint osprey]

We went over all back covers and none of them mention this type of mode so in a way we are lucky that it couldn't spoil EVERYTHING lol

[ocean magnet]

||Oh yea, it's phantom magolor time||

[quaint osprey]

Just one very major thing

[spark forge]

Really funny how we figured them putting so much effort into a mini game collection was gonna be all there was

[quaint osprey]

Im happy that i didnt doubt that they can go further

[spark forge]

Honestly, RTDLDX feels like it has the full frontal development attention of an average new game which is fun

[quaint osprey]

Definitely

I doubt they treated it as an afterthought

It feels like full blown new release akin to FL

[mellow snow]

||I’m so freaking glad we’re getting another canon EX Mode||

[worn bridge]

Can it push RTDL over TDX and PR though 😳

[spark forge]

idk its still gonna be the same level design and plot

[quaint osprey]

If my guest star 2 theory will be proven correct it very much might to me

[spark forge]

Just with a sick texture pack

[scarlet ether]

SSU was considered to be like a new game at HAL too, I think this is probably the same

[quaint osprey]

Well its no longer will be just those levels and just this plot

[ocean magnet]

For me, it'll depend on how much LORE is in that mode

I'm almost salivating waiting

[scarlet ether]

I am sure we we'll have plenty Lor at least

[sweet lagoon]

Personally I don’t even care about the lore I just want to play the silly game

[winged raft]

||They really sent Magolor to hell||

[ocean magnet]

Why do we use spoilers in this channel btw

[quaint osprey]

And yesh this mode will probably provide more fleshed out story to the game than robobot

[quaint osprey]

I want everything

[scarlet ether]

stuff still comes up in search results

[dull jay]

Hope it's true
Guest star is my favorite thing in sa

[winged raft]

||I can now say two of Kirby's friends have seen hell||

[ocean magnet]

||then there's meta knight in the light novels||

[winged raft]

||i said two for a reason||

[ocean magnet]

||oh I thought YOUR second was counting elfilin since he reunited with elfilis||

[scarlet ether]

||Forgo Dreams isn't really hell lol||

[ocean magnet]

... correct

Then fecto gets dragged away by Morpho knight and then escapes

[winged raft]

||Elfilis asks Sectonia if he can put his dream next to her dream||

[ocean magnet]

And then dies again and is absorbed by elfilin

[worn bridge]

||I wonder if Magolor has to travel from the deeper circles of hades to escape...which is why the fatty puffer area doesn't look like the forest area in the light novel...would make more sense if meta knight ended up in one of the outer circles for being a good individual.||

[mortal dock]

kind of random but do we know if the enemy models are new or reused

[scarlet ether]

that still doesn't really involve hell

[winged raft]

||that's actually pyribbit's dad, not fatty puffer /j||

[mellow snow]

||I wonder if we’ll see Underworld equivalents of normal enemies and mid-bosses||

[worn bridge]

||OH. You know which circle is the one where the liars are sent to according to Dante's Inferno? The 8th one.||

[ocean magnet]

The first bit
Getting dragged away by morpho

[worn bridge]

||Are there not 8 worlds in RTDL?||

[winged raft]

||which employee accidentally sent their "Magolor Goes To Hell" fic to Kumazaki?||

[scarlet ether]

I mean nothing says Morpho absorbing stuff brings them to Hades

[quaint osprey]

You mean for the main game?

Enemies that haven't returned before in HD did get new models

[ocean magnet]

When Morpho knight absorbs fecto, they see the power of judgement, this I'm counting it as they saw what hell is to some extent

[quaint osprey]

I assume that if you got to hades but without morpho touching you, you have a chance to escape

[mortal dock]

ahh makes sense

[ocean magnet]

Wait why wouldn't it, where else would they go?

[quaint osprey]

If morpho touched you
Rip

[worn bridge]

Oh there actually are 8 worlds if you count another dimension :COPIUM:

[sweet lagoon]

if morpho touches you go to hell 2 and stay there forever

[scarlet ether]

(basically) nowhere? or you're (or your life force is) 'inside' it or something, nothing says it can teleport you lol

[mortal dock]

I just had a giga brain thought

||morpho is death. what if he's a part of a duo and he has a counterpart that does the opposite - bringing people to life? what if That's the final boss fight - so magolor can prove he's worthy to return to the living world||

[unborn current]

Nightmare in Dream Land disagrees

[mortal dock]

||giving us morpho while also giving us something new. life-giving knight would also be really cool||

[scarlet ether]

||Phoenix Knight?||

[ocean magnet]

Aw heck naw they updated the autopsy report

[unborn current]

||my theory is morpho and magolor are gonna partner up||

[mortal dock]

||that would be fitting - tho I imagine it won't be fiery orange like morpho||

[scarlet ether]

||could be blue, blue flames are hot right? also on stuff like Magolor Soul I guess||

[ocean magnet]

And references ||papi||

[scarlet ether]

||and blue flames are associated with the dead||

[quaint osprey]

Who cares what it thinks

[unborn current]

LMAOO

[mortal dock]

that would look sick

[quaint osprey]

Anyway now we can safely say

[unborn current]

correct !!!

[ocean magnet]

Kirby fans stay winning

[unborn current]

it tends to happen

[unborn current]

we get HAL, not nintendo or sega 😌

[quaint osprey]

Exactly

[spark forge]

I mean Zelda has WWHD

Thats pretty good

[ocean magnet]

Hal always does everything correct

Except for cyber security

[quaint osprey]

Its not on switch tho so rip

[spark forge]

Yet (please)

[dull geode]

illuminations over hyped movie???? PASS
HALs unerevealed AWESOME canon post game??? HELL YEAH

PLEASE don't be bad or somehow fake

I have no idea how this could be fake but in a messed up world it is

[quaint osprey]

I think what is especially awesome about this is this keeps showing HAL's new ambition to improve their storytelling that started with FL

[mellow snow]

Come on, can this trailer come soon lol

[unborn current]

kumazaki is wild and messed up

of course its real

[quaint osprey]

So true

[sweet lagoon]

this is classic wacky hal shit it’s totally real

[quaint osprey]

Fans: you know rtdl was kinda vanilla compared to other modern titles
Magolor Epilogue:

[uncut oxide]

it’s like i’ve been saying how Star Allies’ mid output really was just a onetime slip up since they rushed themselves

[dull geode]

I'm still so shocked like this is genuinely EVEN MORE than what my pipe dream was lmfaoo

[quaint osprey]

When you don't rush HAL you get masterpieces

[unborn current]

we can just sweep SA under the rug and pretend it didnt happen

(but i wont >:))

[spark forge]

@tawdry cairn i cant believe they just dropped Return to Dream Land: Future Connected on us

[ocean magnet]

Star allies was good

For 4 hours, then it ended

[scarlet ether]

that is every Kirby game lol

[dull geode]

Kirby 🤝 Xenoblade
Best remakes on the switch

[ocean magnet]

Then you got another good two hours a year later, for free yea, but 6 hours is still so little

[quaint osprey]

SA had replayability on it's side

[scarlet ether]

well Guest Star and Ultimate Choice is still a few hours

[scarlet ether]

not counting 'true' completion of course

[cloud pasture]

It was my literal pipedream

[sweet lagoon]

I got a solid 20 hours out of guest star

[uncut oxide]

and Void
Void was good

[quaint osprey]

Another reason why i will die on my guest star 2 for RTDX hill
They know that this is an easy way to increase replayability of the game

They already have The Characters

With movesets

[uncut oxide]

just make og Extra Mode a time attack mode

[quaint osprey]

Yeah and get rid of Kirby

Perfect

[unborn current]

Anime Dedede

[uncut oxide]

skip Ultra Ability segments and maybe even include reworked AD segments?

to work around not having to use Kirby’s powers to navigate

[sweet lagoon]

AD segments act like warps like in dededetour

[uncut oxide]

oooh yeah

god i’m so sad Dededetour was the only time attack so far to have shortcuts

[quaint osprey]

They already have modified bosses without super ability sections from og games' arenas too

[uncut oxide]

what a shock Dedede has the best one

[quaint osprey]

So the only thing they need to significantly change is a bit of level design

[unborn current]

dededetour IS the best speedrun mode fact

[quaint osprey]

So true

[uncut oxide]

it gave us Shadow Dedede

[cloud pasture]

My main wish for a Guest Star 2 is def Dededetour inspired one

[quaint osprey]

Combine shortcuts and guest star's replayability factor and you get a winner in speedrun modes

[cloud pasture]

Legit the Warp Holes were brilliant

[uncut oxide]

mmm i need to draw Banished Magolor (hehe i already gave him a nickname)

[cloud pasture]

You can easily justify it as AD portals too

[spark forge]

you know

i wonder

if this was made because of the west

lolololol

[ocean magnet]

Goner magolor

[spark forge]

||because of how vague Magolor's resurrection was/is||

[unborn current]

my headcanon is that he dressed up like this on purpose

(he missed FL and acted homeless for attention)

[uncut oxide]

Magolor would definitely pretend to be homeless for pity points

[mellow snow]

EAR

[scarlet ether]

||this mode or game? either way Return to Dream Land and Magolor is pretty popular, and I know they wanted the mode too||

[cloud pasture]

||Me when they cut the second part of Magolor Soul's special page||

[spark forge]

||setting for the gamemode||

[uncut oxide]

literally Luigi’s Mansion PAL Hidden Mansion and Wario World final boss lmfao

[ocean magnet]

||his widdle kitty ears exposed... cover it up sicko||

[spark forge]

elaborate on that

[cloud pasture]

I'm telling you

||This turns out as Shopkeeper Magolor origin guys||

[scarlet ether]

||I mean wasn't much else they could do besides speedrun mode||

[ocean magnet]

Oh god a collectathon 🤣

[uncut oxide]

how both got changed in their non-western versions due to lack of difficulty

og Hidden Mansion is just slight damage boost for both parties and Wario World’s final boss sucked hard initially

[mortal dock]

thought he was referring to ||the west not understanding magolor death (from what I've heard people say)||

[uncut oxide]

still scary that Shopkeeper Magolor is normal Magolor crossing dimensions

[cloud pasture]

True!

[uncut oxide]

we now have to live with the fact that Magolor now has two Kirbies to toy with at his disposal

[ocean magnet]

Now announcing Kirby right back at ya season 5, featuring magolor

[maiden wagon]

#KIRBYSWEEP

[quaint osprey]

Fking imagine if its western fanbase's fixation on lore that led to this 🗿

[warm crane]

I am still believing that || Ashen Magolor become Shop Magolor Form Kirby clash ||

[quaint osprey]

I mean i dont mind it at all but it would be super funny

[warm crane]

XD

[maiden wagon]

Man, I just want a new trailer already

[worn bridge]

What do we know about how magolor survived so far

JP sources and everything

[unborn current]

he vanished

[maiden wagon]

We've had to rely on leaks and website updates to learn any of this

[unborn current]

2 days later he is back making a theme park

[uncut oxide]

i feel a Direct is gonna drop sooner or later revealing the mode

[maiden wagon]

And that's something only hardcore fans are really willing to do

[cloud pasture]

||Wait was Kumazaki teasing this when he mentioned in that one interview how Magolor repented his crimes||

[scarlet ether]

||oh yeah, Japanese side of fanbase wanted Hades stuff too||

[maiden wagon]

Maybe the February direct will feature a new trailer for the game, I dunno

[vivid niche]

8th im calling it

[quaint osprey]

The ONLY thing we have is Kumazaki saying that he "escaped another dimension" in miiverse, i believe?

[uncut oxide]

OMG STRIMP HIIIIIII

[vivid niche]

hello

[uncut oxide]

yeah you’re exactly where i got that direct theory from

[dull jay]

Why the ||torn magolor|| render isn't outlined?

[uncut oxide]

you were right about this so why should i lose faith

[sweet lagoon]

bet

[quaint osprey]

Kumazaki: randomly mentions how magolor moved to dream land in an interview
RTDX 1 year later:

[uncut oxide]

part of his punishment was losing his outline

[sweet lagoon]

||no outlines in hell||

[quaint osprey]

Its outlined tho?

[uncut oxide]

it is yeah

[sweet lagoon]

hm yeah it is

[dull jay]

Oh, it is
It's just thinner

[sweet lagoon]

the gray makes it look less distinct

[errant perch]

And hard to see because of the slight blur

[unborn current]

Puff Termina

[ocean magnet]

Guys I wonder what haltmann is doing in that picture amirite?

[worn bridge]

||Okay I'm a believer but what if this isn't hades||

[unborn current]

Another Hades

[ocean magnet]

Crown dreams

[maiden wagon]

Hades in Another Dimension

[mortal dock]

||are we talking about the mythological concept of hades or the game hades||

[uncut oxide]

mythos

mmm i love greek mythology

[ocean magnet]

Heck, why not both

[quaint osprey]

||I mean It clearly is framed as if Magolor in some sort of hell lol||

And it kinda matches up with the novel

[uncut oxide]

Dark Nebula, ruler of the Underworld will never not be the best translation error this series has had

cuz like
huh??????

[vivid niche]

https://tenor.com/view/measure-tape-gif-23048056

[uncut oxide]

there was no mention of an Underworld in Kirby before

[lofty slate]

I cannot wait to hear the creepy vampire organ music play when ||Magolor meets Hyness in hell||

[quaint osprey]

Treehouse translators not expecting silly little Kirby franchise to get huge focus on world building including it's take on the afterlife in the future:

[vivid niche]

honestly it just looks like ||Another Dimension to me||

[ocean magnet]

Bruh what ||Hyness doing there||

[lofty slate]

||Hyness: “oh hey man! What r u doin here!?” ||

[quaint osprey]

||What if i told you that hades and another dimension are related ||

Like, canonically

[unborn current]

guys togezo has been here the whole time

[quaint osprey]

hes been banished

[uncut oxide]

damn what happens in those novels (if that’s where this information came from idfk)

[scarlet ether]

||even besides novel stuff, Morpho came from Another Dimension||

[worn bridge]

||The AD connection isn't really in the novels except that you can escape it via portal...and that's also where the Morpho butterflies travel from||

[toxic crown]

||fatty puffer looks like pyribbit which triggers my ptsd ||

[lofty slate]

Everyone speculating that ||Magolor has to repent his sins in hell|| when in reality, ||Magolor just wants to eat Hyness’ burnt toast ||

[worn bridge]

Crusty af image but you get the concept

[unborn current]

AD is both the gateway to planets and life

[ocean magnet]

I'm confused how/why is ||Hyness in hades||

[warm crane]

WOW

[cloud pasture]

I gotchu

MAGOLOR SOUL SPECIAL PAGE
ぞうお と しゅうねん に とらわれたマホロアの たましいを、ときはなて！
Free Magolor's Soul, enslaved by hatred and obsession!

そしてカービィに敗れると、クラウンのみが砕け、マホロアは無事に解き放たれますが、その時、通常のボスとは違い爆発せず、輝く光となって消えていきます。当初、この演出は重要アイテムを全て集めた時だけの特別ものとして想定していました。ですが、彼が嘘の罪から解き放たれたように見える姿は、メインストーリーにおいて欠かせないと考え、現在のような演出にしました。
And so when he is defeated by Kirby, the crown alone is shattered, and Magolor is released unharmed, and at that moment, without exploding like a usual Boss, instead he disappears into a shining light. Initially, I envisioned this event as something special only for when the important item is completely collected. However, I thought the sight of him seemingly being released from his sins of lying was essential to the main story, so it was produced the way it is now.

彼はカービィWiiのクライマックスに消息不明となりますが、こうしてアトラクションの中で元気な姿を見るに、時空を越えるあの異空間で迷いながらも、ひょっこりどこかの出口から脱出できたのでしょうか。
カービィ達が元の世界に帰って来たあの後に、マホロアもまた世界を旅しながら、本作のような攻略しがいのあるユニークなテーマパークを、様々な世界で作っているのかもしれませんね。
He disappears at the climax of Kirby Wii, but seeing him in such good health in the attraction, I wonder if he was able to escape from the exit somewhere, lost in Another Dimension beyond time and space.
After Kirby and his friends returned to their original world, Magolor may also be traveling around the world, creating unique theme parks in various worlds that are challenging to conquer like the one in this work.

[warm crane]

All I know is that kumizaki want to drop a huge lore answer

[scarlet ether]

||and it travels dimensions in general||

[worn bridge]

Hmm...
Doesn't really rule out ||Hades theory||

[craggy basalt]

What does the novel say about Hades

[scarlet ether]

WAIT
||夢の国か、黄泉の国か… 次は どの次元を めぐり行くの ("a land of dreams or a land of hades/underworld, which dimension will it travel to next") ||

[cloud pasture]

OH

[noble lynx]

wym it isnt

[cloud pasture]

OH MY GOD

[unborn current]

man hades looks weird

[noble lynx]

||https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/1069480260627877969/1069625519936639076/image.png ||

those are lines

[dull geode]

Yeah I still think that Hades is it's own place and that the butterfly uses portals through AD to travel like everyone else

[scarlet ether]

||okay yeah we're getting Morpho in this game lol||

[vague vector]

||As long as GK is canon I'm happy||

[craggy basalt]

Morpho on his way to be in every mainline Switch game

[unborn current]

its switch season for the butterfly

[scarlet ether]

lmao true

||the butterfly trilogy||

[craggy basalt]

Galacta Kngiht will be cannon fodder for Morpho again. The only canon he's gonna be 😔

[unborn current]

deserved/j

[ocean magnet]

Morpho on his way to breach the Kirby series

[vague vector]

||lol imagine if galacta just kills morpho or something||

[dull geode]

Galacta showing up here canonically would seal to deal for me that the KNIGHTS GAME is coming BABY all about the knights love the knights

[craggy basalt]

Papi absorbs Meta Knight

[vague vector]

WOOOO KNIGHTS

[scarlet ether]

just put all the knights in
Knights' Revenge Medley real

[errant perch]

Dmk just decides to show up for absolutely no reason

[unborn current]

he is a mask

[dull geode]

Having the knights show up canonically in back to back games would be such a great way to allude to them getting a focused plot

[lofty slate]

Bro what if the Mario universe actually ties in with the Kirby universe tho

[ocean magnet]

Phantom Dark Mecha galacta knight ex soul

[lofty slate]

That would be insane man

[craggy basalt]

Dark Meta Knight is friendo now

[lofty slate]

Mario Galaxy 3 leak lol

(Mario goes to other Nintendo games)

[dull geode]

Im very curious about a true arena exclusive fight now

Like what could it be lmao

[craggy basalt]

Everyone forgets about Parallel Meta Knight and Phantom Meta Knight

Or as I like to call the former, Piss Knight

[scarlet ether]

Magolor (Soul)-like? but harder

[warm crane]

Guys OMG

The multiverse is in danger

[lofty slate]

Imagine ||the final cutscene being Magolor walking in on Hyness taking a shower similar to the Squidward scene in SpongeBob but funnier ||

[warm crane]

Dude?!?

[craggy basalt]

Death Metal General

[lofty slate]

||Hyness: “WAAAH!”||

[ocean magnet]

WE ARE HERE FOR YOUR GEM APPLES

GET THE JAM OUT OF MY HOUSE

[lofty slate]

Yes exactly xD

Exactly how it would go

[dull geode]

Fuck imagine if the mode ends on a cliffhanger and Kirby's group has to finish it off through true arena

[vague vector]

THAT WOULD BE FUNNY

[quaint osprey]

Kumazaki is so insane /pos

[unborn current]

true arena ends
"to be continued..."

[vague vector]

.....in the DLC
BUY IT

They would never

[quaint osprey]

Actually it will unlock HIAD style mode where you have to use skills of everyone to liberate Magolor for good

[ocean magnet]

Magolor after accidentally releasing the spirit the crown was meant to contain in his attempts to escape Hades:

"Oops hey Kirby you may wanna deal with that..."

[quaint osprey]

[unborn current]

okay but to be real for one second

[vague vector]

Oh my god magolor super abilities moment

[craggy basalt]

Magolor Mode credits, picture of conspicuously glowing orb at the end

[unborn current]

making magolor soul with morpho colours would fucking slap

[dull geode]

Big ass sword

[vague vector]

WHAT IF WE SEE VORPAL CUTTER LMAO

[dull geode]

Where did he get it?????

[quaint osprey]

I meant everyone as in the gang not super abilities lol

[worn bridge]

WHO LET HIM COOK

[quaint osprey]

But this is how... Probably he will get them???

[craggy basalt]

It's either that or slap the good ol Zero Two colors like Void and Chaos Elfy

[vague vector]

true...

[quaint osprey]

Via skill tree

[ocean magnet]

Hal:
https://media.tenor.com/VvebmV3gkQ4AAAAM/spongebob-insurance-salesman.gif

Jeez there are three pixels in that gif

And it's poorly cropped

[quaint osprey]

It's so funny how reveal of one mode makes me look at this game as a whole with much different eyes than before

[dull geode]

Augh what if the soul boss is the crown tapping into its void power WAUGH more void lore

[quaint osprey]

Like the way i saw this remake four months ago and now cannot compare

[uncut oxide]

how’d you see it initially?

[ocean magnet]

God kumazaki is cooking something...

[uncut oxide]

just funny haha remake of one of the best Kirby games?

[vague vector]

Pretty much lol

[dull geode]

Haha funny remake SIXTY DOLLARS???? At least it's pretty

[lofty slate]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-smash-pan-done-kirby-gif-13822770

[vague vector]

bro I can't wait for the direct

[worn bridge]

https://tenor.com/view/woody-woody-toy-story-sora-kh3-kh-gif-27223516

[craggy basalt]

Where's this from lol

[quaint osprey]

I was like
Yoooo found family game in hd awesome

Now however

Peak fiction incoming

[uncut oxide]

Magolor’s paying for his sins

oh wonderful now i have to think of an egg term to call Banished Magolor

[lofty slate]

Magolor ||meets Hades from Kid Icarus lol||

[unborn current]

somethin liiiike this perhaps?

[craggy basalt]

They bout to retcon Magolor Soul into Magolor's inner demons or something. He'll be fighting his own sins at the end let's goooo

[dull geode]

Direct when it comes out and there isn't even a hint of Magolor Epilogue

[uncut oxide]

undercooked egg

[lofty slate]

We weren’t supposed to know

[quaint osprey]

Instead it talks about guest star 2

[uncut oxide]

[scarlet ether]

||Morpho Knight EX Japanese description (Star Allies of course)||

[uncut oxide]

i hope Magolor will get to wear masks

[hallow laurel]

||One hope: Magolor Epilogue has more than three unique songs||

[craggy basalt]

Now we need a Super Star re-remake to see Marx in hell

[lofty slate]

Magolor wearing Magolor mask

[dull geode]

Oh right we can probably play as him huh

[unborn current]

he's too perfect to wear masks

thats what he says

[dull geode]

Wonder where you'll be able to do that lol

[uncut oxide]

well then MAKE HIM

[dull geode]

Since main games makes you use kibley

[scarlet ether]

||needs at least four lol||

[quaint osprey]

Its happening rn

[lofty slate]

So true

[craggy basalt]

There's gonna be deep lore of having masks of Kirby's future friends

[dull geode]

L is real 2401

[ocean magnet]

Actually, isn't there normally a formal reveal for Kirby related stuff like a day after every leak lol

[scarlet ether]

||actually six; title theme, stage select/map/whatever, stage theme, boss theme, final boss theme, ending credits||

[worn bridge]

FL Leak season too

[ocean magnet]

Kirby fighters 2 for example

[dull geode]

Me trying to explain how the Marx Soul mask actually makes sense and doesn't shatter series canon

[scarlet ether]

this wasn't leaked from Nintendo site, so

[quaint osprey]

Im saaaaying guest star 2 babey

[dull geode]

Perhaps this is the truth

[quaint osprey]

I will materialize it into existence

[scarlet ether]

probably have to wait for direct (assuming there is one)

[ocean magnet]

If it ain't true someone better mod it in within a week

[quaint osprey]

HAL will pull fast one on us and releases trailer separate from direct

[dull geode]

Hey Magolor already has recolors maybe the others do for guest star lol

[unborn current]

good (i dont like directs)

[quaint osprey]

THIS IS ACTUALLY A COMPELLING ARGUMENT LOL

[ocean magnet]

Oh god, the true final boss fight is against shopkeeper magolor soul

[glass juniper]

I really feel like we shouldnt know about this mode on the box lol

[quaint osprey]

You know what will be funny

[scarlet ether]

I mean, have to advertise game somehow

[lofty slate]

“You will pay for your sins!!!”

[hallow laurel]

They won't detail that mode that much

[quaint osprey]

How Magolor on twitter will advertise this mode lol

[hallow laurel]

They will say though "it exists and you can do this"

[quaint osprey]

"oh yes good times remembering like it was yesterday. I died"

[dull geode]

Hope we at least get some gameplay footage so we know what it is

[scarlet ether]

and they've advertised lategame/postgame stuff quite a bit before, just not on box lol

[unborn current]

"Presenting Magolor Epilogue! A mode where I... die... and have to come back to life. Hmm... I don't feel I should be sharing this..."

[hallow laurel]

||discover after finishing Story Mode||

[lofty slate]

Magolor must spend 999999999 gem apples to redeem himself

[ocean magnet]

"Hey guys wanna see me go to Hades?"
[Gif of gameplay]

"Wanna see me do it again for yourself, for only 60 dollars on February 24th only on Nintendo switch?"

[glass juniper]

Can't wait for ||Fire Puffer|| to be the final and only boss

[hallow laurel]

||Then I wonder if Magolor would still show up in magoland post game until Magolor Epilogue is done...?||

[vague vector]

I was there in the vc, hypest moments of all time other than the pizza tower release

[dull geode]

Pizza tower goes crazy

[lofty slate]

Wario

[hallow laurel]

||it's the kind of attention to detail HAL can do lol||

[scarlet ether]

||yes he would||

[ocean magnet]

Oh god, imagine if magoland is eerie and like a ghost town until you beat the epilogue, can't do anything there

Hal wouldn't have the balls

[quaint osprey]

Manager is from the future im telling you

[hallow laurel]

They won't do that

[dull geode]

HOW WILL I PLAY CHECKERBOARD CHASE

[hallow laurel]

HAL cares about subgames being playable at all times

[quaint osprey]

It's less to do with balls and more to do with impractical game design

[scarlet ether]

||ain't same-time Magolor, him and Magolor in Lor probably exist at same time||

[unborn current]

Manager Magolor is actually a seperate character

[quaint osprey]

You don't lock out optional multiplayer content for long duration of time

[unborn current]

dead magolor walking by Magoland as Manager Magolor runs the place

[dull geode]

You HAVE to play the hard content like a man

[scarlet ether]

especially when it's advertised like that lol

[lofty slate]

Bandana Dee Soul: “You have betrayed Kirby enough times, off to hell with you Magolor…”
drags Magolor
“No please! Have mercy! 😭 “

[hallow laurel]

||I kinda hope I can play Magolor in the subgames actually now lol||

[dull geode]

Now the real question is can you use Magolor in Magoland

[quaint osprey]

Magolors meet.

[ocean magnet]

Time for magolor to help magolor put away the scrolls

[dull geode]

I'd assume no and that you cant use him in normal Story Mode

[errant perch]

https://tenor.com/view/sidious-there-is-no-mercy-star-wars-clone-wars-darth-sidious-chancellor-palpatine-there-is-no-mercy-gif-22048839

[dull geode]

Unless they're cooking up Manager Dee

[quaint osprey]

I mean, about that

[dull geode]

And Captain Dee comes back

[quaint osprey]

If guest star 2 is real i doubt Kirby will be there

[dull geode]

This is simply guest star

[hallow laurel]

I'll be honest this artwork is very very sus

[ocean magnet]

That feels like it's reaching chief, I doubt it

[quaint osprey]

Unless this will be first ever speedrun mode with Kirby

Which i wouldn't mind really

[unborn current]

he's going to drop him... off a cliff.

[ocean magnet]

https://media.tenor.com/Q5rw_1t5MYwAAAAM/fall-kirby.gif

[hallow laurel]

||And then HAL has gone insane and the end of Magolor Epilogue is fully 3D||

[scarlet ether]

not really, looks like certain multiplayer action, seeing the art this was my first thought too

[tawdry cairn]

🎷

[ocean magnet]

End of robobot but with the lor

[hoary oar]

Wait huh do we have confirmation now

[tawdry cairn]

No

He just means in the context of before this leaked

[ocean magnet]

Anyways, does anyone know the original source?

[scarlet ether]

someone here got it from a friend of a friend (and who knows before that), and then it spread

[dull geode]

Me I made it
