Metal General is an unsung hero. You beat him the first time, you think he’s just a mindless robot out to kill you. He hops into his mecha, you beat him again... _and he refuses to give up._ He jumps into the foreground, the music changes to Landia’s theme, and that’s when it hits you: _he knows._ He knows about Magolor, he knows what’s at stake if he lets you pass, and _he will fight to his last breath to stop you._ And you have to smash his mecha piece by piece by piece until he dies- not even with any fanfare or a huge flashy explosion; he just falls over motionless and vanishes. Kirby doesn’t kill his enemies as a general rule? But Metal General simply _refused to be taken alive._
Really though, dude's so dedicated to it all, First the anger and fury with Grand Doomer's theme, and then Landia's theme as he fights to the final breath in his crumbing mech. For all we know Metal General could of been created entirely to defend Landia and the Crown, hence it's sudden hostility towards Kirby.
I love the little back-and-forth arm swing Kirby does in his idle animation. Murderous robot on the rampage hellbent on his death? *yawn* No big deal, just another day for Kirby.
HR-H has a similar name to HR-D3. Robobot has a robotics company called the Haltmann Works Corporation. Another name for Haltmann Corporation could be Haltmann Robotics Corp.

Maybe The DeDeDe especies was part of the ancients and DeDeDe was one of them and they created that kind of machines and DeDeDe creates one to itself to clobber dat dere Kirby That explains why DeDeDe is so good creating giant robots and machines of that kind Like he’s magic mask or the Kirby printer or the many of he’s giant robots
his* Also Dedede is literally the size of a penguin, which makes sense because he is a penguin. He just looks big because Kirby is small (canonically 8 inches, or 20 centimetres)
i didn't know until now that you could avoid hr-d3's spinning attack by going to the edges of the screen or low profiling... that would have saved me a world of pain
I was a huge Kirby fan at the time, so I've beaten all of the games, now with games like I wanna kill the kamilia 3, I can do this blindfolded no hit. So don't be an ass
that comment was 10 months ago, and even then I was talking about my past, and I never said it was hard, just the hardest. incompetent piece of shit stop bothering me and go make other people mad.
Vulpine bruh he’s not even close to the hardest boss in just this game let alone all of kirby. Magolor,landia,lor star cutter have you haven’t completed the game have you
When I first fought this boss in EX mode, I finally beat Metal General EX and was like "Wait. That wasn't it?" Sometime later, I barely beat the first phase of HR-D3 and was like "WHAT?! THAT WASN'T IT EITHER?!" Eventually, I _FINALLY_ beat the second phase of HR-D3 and saw Kirby celebrating. I was like "YES! I FINALLY BEAT HIM!" I was so happy when I _FINALLY_ beat this boss. WHY DID THIS BOSS HAVE TO HAVE THREE PHASES?! THAT'S MORE PHASES THAN THE FINAL BOSS!
Metal general is one of the easiest fights in the game though. tbh the main issue is you only have half health in Ex mode. If you had full health it would be fairly easy
HR-D3 stands for henchman robot dedede, it was originally gonna belong to king dedede with his armor themed after him in a Kirby game for the GameCube but was scrapped when it was cancelled, then they brought it back in this game, you can see the original color scheme in the Kirby quest mass attack mini game or one of the screenshots for the cancelled game

I'm sure hes alive and well. He probably needed repairs. After all we destroyed him in normal campaign and he survived

hes a god damn robot bro
@@shyguy85 A badass robot.
Huh, no wonder why the robot guards in planet robobot looked familiar...
Haltmann invaded the half side of Halcandra.
@@neferrose7524
I heard he actually just got the blue prints for the metal general from that place
security force be like when he sees metal general:
*Beats HR-D3 First phase*
*8-9 year old me* - Why do I hear boss music?
This fight gave me nightmares, PTSD, OCD and depression
*dededepression
For real
I got stung by a robot and only cried for 90 minutes

What you are seeing is a a boss from a scrapped Kirby game.
Not really scrapped, more like retooled and repurposed
This game isnt scrapped i have it on my wii
He means the Kirby GCN game. Yes it became Return to Dreamland, but the first two versions (yes there are three) are gone.
Wait no
The first iteration became Return to Dreamland and the other two were lost. AGH!
Vietnam flashbacks when that 2nd Form came

hr-d3 Is the most difficult boss in a Kirby game to me

I’ve beaten the game and I agree because I died more times to him then both forms of magolor EX
@@ericestrada3530 woah, chill on the Gatekeeping dude. Not worth your time

WHY DID THIS BOSS HAVE TO HAVE THREE PHASES?! THAT'S MORE PHASES THAN THE FINAL BOSS!
Well, technically, counting Landia, the final boss is 4 phases long. Landia, the Lor, magalor, and possessed magalor.
Is it just me, or does HR-D3 look like a penguin without the mask thing on?
Nathan Betts
The robot was originally used by King Dedede.
I think that's the joke.
Maybe the halacandrians loved penguins?
DDD
hey do you think HR-D3 stands for hench robot triple d which is dedede,it probably belongs to king dedede.
Hello I’m the boss who will be the bane of your existence.
@@dagobertoserrano9476 oh no
Pow
This guy did a 180 in friking ex mode
Now this boss and this whole game are going to return on the Switch soon!
That was awesome
I'd inhale the big rockets: they give crash ability.
It says "No ability" for a reason.
Supershadow301 if only I knew this 8 years ago
No they don't,
They give "bomb" ability
General metal extra.
I'm impressed
And proud
someone else thinks that robot is the same from kirby 64
We can all agree rock power up is the best
*laughs in tornado*
They had the chance to return THIS in Robobot
And heavy lobster :(
Solar Guard never forget the
HEAVY
LOBSTER
Heavy Lobster appeared in the anime.
@@johnathanegbert9277 I know
You basically have to endure 3 boss phases and your life energy is not refilled between battles. This also makes this fight pretty hard.
Metal general is one of the easiest fights in the game though. tbh the main issue is you only have half health in Ex mode. If you had full health it would be fairly easy
In my opinion, it's easier without copy abilities
So what dose he mean
D3...DDD！？
