We face Dedede and Dark Matter here, but we're not done yet...
First | Previous | Next | End
Boss 5: King Dedede
King Dedede attacks like he always does. He creates stars by whacking at you with a hammer and trying to squash you with a really high jump. But if you look at him, you'll see that there's something off about him.
This time around, you can fight him with an animal friend. However, this makes the inhale attack a little more dangerous. If you're on an animal friend when you're way too close when he breathes in a huge mouthful of air, you're going to be instantly dismounted as soon as you're sucked in. It's not any more powerful than what it already was in previous games, but the fact that it can dislodge you from any of the animal friends adds a miniature dimension of annoyance to the move now.
When you beat him, you're not done. This was the easy part. Remember when I said there was something off about him? Well, the glum, zombified expression on his face wasn't even part of it. When you beat him, he starts floating around and a black glow surrounds him.
Every so often, he'll float in place as a huge black eye forms around his gut. Turns out he's possessed by Dark Matter. Again. This eye will shoot balls of Dark Matter that can be spit at Dedede. If you have an ability, you can keep them from hitting you by using your ability on it until they disappear.
If you need to, you can stand at the bricks at the sides of the castle to get a bit of a height boost if you need to.
When you beat King Dedede with all of the Heart Stars in the game, Kirby will conjure up a Warp Star, and you'll be able to go to Stage 6, which takes place deep in the heart of Dark Matter. Otherwise, you'll get the bad ending that shows up at the end of this video.
Level 6: Hyper Zone
Just like last time, you're going to be fighting Dark Matter by special means, this time with the Love-Love Stick. If you remember the Star Rod battle from Kirby's Adventure, you pretty much know how this will control. If not, here's how: press the attack button to fire projectiles, and use the Control Pad to fly around in eight directions. It's that simple.
The first form of Dark Matter flies around and has two attacks: a lightning strike that comes out of the eye as well as the ability to fire the yellow balls that surround it at you. The energy that comes out of the stick when you swing it can protect you from the balls. As for the lightning strikes, just center yourself and stand near the eye, as the lightning always fires at angles.
The second form of Dark Matter is a large white ball with a red eye, also known as Zero Two. Zero Two fires two types of projectiles: red eye lasers and black Dark Matter clones. The lasers can be destroyed with the Love Love Stick if you're lucky enough, but you're going to have to dodge the Dark Matter clones and their ability to track your location to a degree. You'll want to shoot projectiles into Zero Two's eyes, and concentrate solely on dodging when the Dark Matter clones start popping out of him.
The third form is the eye that is left behind when you defeat Zero Two. This eye will do nothing but quickly chase after you. Stay on the move, keep moving in a circle and keep swinging the Love Love Stick as you do so. If the projectile doesn't hit this thing, the stick itself will.
The main thing that makes this battle difficult is that if you die, you'll have to start all the way back at the first form. Winning this battle is definitely still possible, and once you beat Dark Matter, you've beaten the game and saved Pop Star one last time!
Back at the game select screen, however, we're at 97%. If we go to the game options in our save file, however, we have an M option and a B option. The M is a mini-game rush of all the Stage 3 mini-games, while the B is a boss rush with Kirby and Kirby only. You will have to complete this for two of the last three percentage points.
