Planet Robobot gives me chills. I always think of the phrase: "Why did I activate such a *terrible machine?"* Haltmann's last thoughts before his soul was erased...
What gets me about it is this is the one game where Kirby DOESN'T truly win against the overwhelming sadness that constantly tries to takeover his series. Susie will never see her father again even after she dies because he got completely erased. There is no hope, he is truly and forever gone and he will be remembered for something he didn't even actually wish for. Planet Robobot is one of the few videogames that made me shed tears.
I adore the little bits wordplay. "EXECUTING HALTMANN'S DREAM. EXECUTE HIS LEGACY." Seems like it's just saying "Fulfilling his dreams", but the echoes of his actual thoughts make it clear Star Dream is KILLING his dreams by intermeshing and replacing them with its own. It controls his legacy because it's always been controlling the information in its systems, including the information in his brain whenever he used it.
he doesn't tho. he was a souless and thoughtless machine before absorbing Haltmann (wich happened because he wasn't controling the info in his system but stealing Haltmann's thoughts and ... well ... everything except body). when he was Haltmann himself changed the goal of his company because he was forgetting it's real goal and reason for said goal. and it's only when Star Dream fully assimilated Haltmann that he changed the prime directive to "exterminate all life". before that, he was just a machine withour goals nor thoughts of itself, only programming.
@@abathur4216 Haltmann wasn't just forgetting his goal, Star Dream was directly removing those memories. Whether it was just a byproduct of a flawed process, the machine absently presuming them as unnecessary, or an act of active malice for daring to think he could improve perfection, it had a VERY active role in his corruption. Every time he interfaced with it, he became a bit more like it, and it became a bit more like him. His goal shifted from "Improve the computer so he can see his daughter again.", to "Improve the computer." to simply just "Improve", with what was left of his actual mind being left to fill in the blanks. Star Dream made Haltman's dream its own. Not by just carrying on his will, but by molding his will into the shape Star Dream best-understood; Cold, uncompromising, sterile, and optimal.
This is my favorite type of AI Big Bad. It’s not sentient, it’s just a robot following orders but it follows them in the most rigid and efficient way possible. Its mission: Infinite Prosperity for the company. Star Dream knows the best way to do it, Haltmann is important to the company but his attachments get in the way. Slowly erode them so that his focus is more inline with the Goal. Haltmann’s dreams will be executed and Prosperity and Perfection will be achieved as calculated by Haltmann. His legacy will Prosper and Infinite Prosperity will be achieved at all cost.
In case anyone's curious: "In economics, the Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income inequality, the wealth inequality, or the consumption inequality within a nation or a social group. The Gini coefficient measures the inequality among the values of a frequency distribution, such as levels of income. A Gini coefficient of 0 reflects perfect equality, where all income or wealth values are the same, while a Gini coefficient of 1 (or 100%) reflects maximal inequity among values, a situation where a single individual has all the income while all others have none."
I'm in love with the repetition of "Beneath moon and stars lies..." given how similar Haltmann and Sectonia are as characters. Also, Deus Est Machina was a brilliant twist on the phrase, no notes

"Why did I reactivate such a terrible machine? Oh, I remember--I wanted to see her just one last time. How foolish! I should have known that no machine could make such a dream come true." -Max Profitt Haltmann
What’s really interesting to me is Star dream’s countdown. If it reaches 0, Star dream attempts to fulfill Haltmann’s wish to bring Susie back. Instead, Star dream has a fatal error and the countdown restarts, as Susie is already in her home dimension. This implies Star dream and Nova can’t fulfill wishes that have already come true, even if the wisher doesn’t realize it yet.
Alternatively Haltman didn't build his clockwork star correctly. (Remember the star is magitech given the ancients were half magic half science cast*)... Given we never see Haltman do magic it's safe to assume that Haltman never realized the magic aspect of the design (hence it failing). *Major point in star allies
@@MK-ly1me Haltmann didn't build Star Dream, he reactivated it. None of the mechanized enemies share visual elements with Star Dream or the Mother Computer, but do share some similarities with each other. This would mean they are Haltmann Works designs, even though they are made by Star Dream. As such, Star Dream and the Mother Computer *not* sharing those elements means it was a preexisting creation, something Haltmann may have fitted some hallmarks on to, but left alone for the most part.
I always assumed the countdown was actually Star Dream granting its own wish, to kill Kirby. Isn’t the Fatal Error attack a death sentence, since it covers the entire screen and doesn’t ever stop?
@@MK-ly1meAs the other comment said, Star Dream was reactivated, not built. Also, the Ancients weren’t both magic and tech users. Rather, there were two groups of Ancients, one that excelled in tech and the other in magic. Not sure if there’s any lore to suggest they collaborated on the Clockwork Stars so please correct me if I’m wrong.
my mom came in near the end of vagrant counting song of retrospection and asked what the hell i was listening to lmao- i simply replied with "kirby songs with lyrics! isn't that fun :)" with "isn't that fun" being in a traumatized way lmfao
I love the detail of how Star Dream's voice has a "mechanical" filter to it, with the text having the "code" background. Meanwhile the chorus and Haltmann don't have these effects. That is, until 5:12, where you can see Haltmann's text turn into the "coded" type, and at 6:11 you can hear the "mechanical" filter take hold over Haltmann's voice, showing how he is being assimilated into and subsequently deleted by the computer. This shit's pure art.
@@Crafty_boy70The trailer video that announced the Kirby Musical Bytes said that Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit was going to be included in it. So, if the next video is the last one of this set, then TPATRL should be the one we're getting.
STAR DREAM!? An ancient, immortal wish machine with limitless potential reborn and turned into a mechanism to preserve mortal greed for a man whose greed is motivated by a tragic goal that's been forgotten by even the machine he created to further it; and who's existence as a self-functioning entity can only occur because the goal (and the person in need of help from said goal was already) complete? Pog.
If we're being honest Star Dream totally would win. That isn't even a character power level argument, the two computers are specifically designed for different purposes. One's a maintenance and control system for a facility, and the other is a *Wish magic powered mechanical god*
2:23 I love the double meaning in these two lines. "Executing" as in "carrying out" Haltmann's dream and legacy, what Star Dream was designed to do; or as in "killing", what it's effectively doing to Haltmann's soul and to his hopes of ever finding his daughter again.
Executing the code of the legacy, the protocol to the letter, without the care of "why" haltmann works was made in the first place; and in doing so, terminating the soul of haltmann and his company.
Star Dream: *reveals its face* People who havent played Super Star/Ultra: what a weird looking face People who did play Super star/Ultra: how many times *DO WE HAVE TO TEACH YOU THIS LESSON YOU STUPID CAT*
To be fair, Galactic Nova itself wasn't malicious, it was just following it's programming and fulfilling a wish, and it didn't put up nearly as much of a fight as Star Dream does when Kirby goes to stop it.
@@Bluerockpieyeah Nova kinda just sits there while you destroy it’s insides, Star dream you have to go through this whole fight in the true arena to even be allowed to get there
I like the double meaning of "executing" Haltmann's dream and legacy. On the surface it means going through with what Star Dream thinks Haltmann wants, that being the total profitization of the whole universe via erasing organic life and replacing it with machines. Taking the other meaning of execute in mind, Star Dream not only plans on ignoring Haltmann's real desire of bringing back his lost daughter, if it gets away with its plan then Susie will die with the rest of the universe. Ergo, it plans on executing (moving through with) Haltmann's goal of profit as well as executing (killing) Haltmann's real desire of seeing his daughter again.
Fun fact, when Haltman sings 'pecuniary purgatory ' He's referring to a purgatory consisting of money, making sense for his (honestly quite morbid but honestly pretty normal for a Kirby game) fate
@@Zorban90 Kirby goes through enough for anyone to get crippling depression squared, and still keeps a smile all the time. Little boy is quite the ball of joy.
Kirby starts by waking up under a tree, waving to the angel of death who is a butterfly, and ends with Kirby killing an elder god with a depressing backstory! He still finishes with a smile though.
I'm gonna be honest, Haltmann's fate is brutal even for a Kirby game. With the other tragedies we could at least hope that there is an afterlife for the victims, but Haltmann gets no such mercy, his very soul is completely destroyed, so he has no second chance, no sweet release, he's just... gone.
@@Crafty_boy70 it’s definitely up there. The Hidden Theme 3 ( Magalor, Sectonia, and Haltmann/Star Dream, you may or may not get it.) all got hypnotized and brutally murdered by little pink boi. But haltmann is just… gone. Never existed.
A thing that i really like is that instead of "Deus ex machina" (god from the machine) the stardream is saying "Deus EST machina" (god IS the machine). This song really gives me goosebumps at some points
I never noticed that before. Also, "Deus ex machina" means a sort of fortunate miracle happening, and that aligns with what we know the Clockwork Stars can do
@@KirbyH.I.T.Syes. But this Nova seems lacking, given it fails to make a wish come true, well… it depends on how you see it, wishing for Susie’s return is already true. Kirby being defeated however… i don’t know if his infinite power can nullify that. Maybe it’s the fact he’s a direct reincarnation of Void ?
@@TripleHakim2 and the only people Star Dream will spare are the ones who are a part of the corporation as proven by the line “Those who serve the corporation shall not face annihilation.”
@@TripleHakim2 it only gains sentience because of Haltmann’s Soul that Star Dream itself Eroded down to nothing but hate in an attempt to fulfill his last wish “Infinite prosperity to the company” Haltmann’s attachments stood against this wish and so they had to be removed. It’s such an interesting Villain because it’s entirely Neutral until the end. It’s a Machine doing what it was made to do and it becomes a commentary on Grief and Greed and how both can eat away ate everything you are until theirs nothing left and the monster you made in the process take over your life.
4:53 It’s important to note that _”EST”_ means “to be” in Latin, as opposed to _”EX”_ meaning “from”. This means Star Dream is saying “God IS machine”, which fits the ‘omniscience’ line and the power wielded by the Clockwork Star… But between Star Dream and Kirby, only one is stated to have ‘infinite power’.
@@Foxking437 Yeah, but that does mean that as long as Kirby, the embodiment of positivity, keeps making friends and going on adventures, he will get much,MUCH stronger. Eventually, he may soar past Goku and be able to beat Darkseid himself in a one on one.
I love the double meaning of "Executing Haltmann's Dream/legacy". Executing in the sense of running a program, or executing in the sense of killing something. Also, I love the "Beneath the moon and stars" for the Triumphant Return motif.
@@star_the_silly_realhaltman’s daughter, Susanna, got pulled into an alternate dimension, and haltmann brought Star Dream online trying to get her back. What he didn’t know, is that his secretary, Susie, is his daughter. At the end of his fight he tries to take control of Star Dream, but Susie steals the control helmet. Unfortunately, rather than this letting Susie control Star Dream, it lets Star Dream absorb Haltmann’s mind. Until Kirby kills Star Dream, Haltmann’s mind is stuck in a digital purgatory, never learning that his daughter returned to him.
@@star_the_silly_real it gets slightly sadder because his wish for Star Dream became “Infinite Prosperity for the company” as he tried to drown his sadness with money. Star Dream is just a machine with no thoughts of its own until the final fight. It worked to fulfill this goal at all costs as is its role as a Wishing Star. Haltmann’s sadness and attachments were an obstacle to the goal and so slowly eroded his memories of his daughter until his thoughts aligned with the Goal. Haltmann accidentally brainwashed himself with his wish as the Machine started to take over his dream and life until it finally took his soul. When it took his soul the only thing left in his heart thanks to Star Dream was Hate and thank to this the first sentient thoughts it had was hate for all life.
I'm kind of surprised this isn't getting talked about, but throughout the song, you can see those circuit patterns behind the lyrics of Star Dream, while the backup singers not having that, indicating who's a machine and who's not. I bring it up because when Haltman sings, you can see his lyrics starts off organic. But as he reaches this line "This was never my plan", you can see it now gaining the circuit patterns. It's a really cool detail MOTI added, showing Haltman's transformation from his organic mind now fusing with Star Dream, two minds as one. The Kirby series has some really sad and dark stories when you dig deep into the lore. If only he knew that his daughter was right by his side this whole time.
6:12 "I lost sight of my dream, in a bed of dollars I resign to slumber" Yet another wonderful connection to dreaming. Then, the sad reality hits, that his dream was already realized...
@EverGrey264 YES, SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAUGHT THE "dreams" THEME IN KIRBY WITH LYRICS VIDEOS what i love is how when moti makes several songs on one game there is a phrase or and idea that is connected to that game that gets repeated Super paper mario:three cheers for the count Kirby:constant references to dreaming For example In vs marx:what makes you think you're the only one who can DREAM And At least i dared to DREAM zero 2:i dare not to DREAM
I assume, if not for the memes, this was the reason why last week's Musical Byte was just a repeat of Gourmet Race. Love the way the Songtober lyrics from so long ago are interwoven into the lyrics for all three main phases, plus that of a chorus echoing 'The Noble Haltmann'. Star Dream feels wonderfully cold and unfeeling, and Haltmann's voice is just as haunting as ever. Can't wait to see whatever else y'all have planned for this package!
I thought so too. Saw some people concerned that we were gonna lose out on an epic new song for Gourmet Race again (which was an amazing shitpost, don’t get me wrong, but there’s just so much hype for Star Dream and TPAtRL). Frankly I’m glad the MotI team is ready and willing to put songs on hold or release smaller songs to put more work into the main expected piece. It could also be going into Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit because I recall that, when announcing the KMB Alex said he’d include it. So yea we’ll have to wait to see next week.
Haltman only wanted to use Stardream to bring back his daughter. Sadly, she was already in front of him, but he never knew(she was Susie), so he believed it never worked.
Hence why when Star Dream did the countdown in Phase 3, it caused a fatal error. The wish couldn’t be processed properly because it was already “granted.” Unfortunately, even at death, Haltmann never got the chance to realize his daughter was still alive. 😔
Star Dream is still one of the best fights in the series, especially the Soul Operating System fought in the True Arena. It is all out war against the machine’s final program (triggered initially by Galacta Knight’s swipe) and the Nova arc it eventually combines with! It’s stressful and difficult, but it’s fun! What adds to the fight is the lore behind it. Haltmann wanted to activate Star Dream just to see his daughter again. But she’s been there the whole time and he gets absorbed into the machine due to his (and unfortunately her) actions. There’s also a dark side to this fight when you are taking Star Dream down from the inside. You are killing what’s left of Haltmann, and you can hear his voice in there until it vanishes and the heart comes to fight you directly with nothing to hold it back
That’s one of the few times that I prefer the “Extra Modes are What-If Scenarios” rhetoric because Haltmann deserves a swift death, not an agonizing and drawn out on.
I would assume that Haltmann's death was still slow and agonizing in normal mode, it was just cut off early because Star Dream died after Phase 3 instead of going into Phase 4 (Phase 5 isn't relevant here because Haltmann is completely gone after Phase 4)
@@mathcookie8224Not quite. Although it's only after you dodge the final attack in Phase 5, as the Heart of Nova is shattering, you can hear Haltmann scream in agony one last time, albeit at a lower pitch.
@@mathcookie8224Fair but it’s a bit longer in SoulOS since you’re slowly destroying the heart of Star Dream and all essence of him, hence he screams whenever you break a part and when you kill the heart. Death by drill just gets the job done in a snap.
@@Agent-Dee That does mean that there’s a chance that enough of him was left to go to the afterlife. He’ll have a serious memory issue though, considering Susie is basically all he remembered.
Even though the True Arena phase isn't shown, I'm glad the transition to phase 2 reminds us that a broken man who lost his daughter and mind is now groaning in pain trapped inside a space super computer/wish granting cat clock that will soon be blown to bits by a pink ball and his pet death machine.
Bruh I was not prepared for Moti to almost make me cry today bro. Planet Robobot was one of if not the first games I’ve ever played, I have so many fond memory of this fight in particularly, and I’ve been wanting someone to give this song lyrics for SO LONG! Thank you Moti for giving my favorite Kirby game the recognition it deserves.
YOU GUYS ACTUALLY WENT INSANE WITH THIS ONE. THIS IS AMAZING. that is all i can say oh my god. The three parts combining? The lyrics? The delivery? This is incredible. Edit: I just noticed the MotI logo on the Halberd's wing! That's such a great detail!
So interesting how you took the original lyrics for just Star Dream Soul OS and sprinked them throughout each phase of Star Dream's theme. THIS is the song I was anticipating the most out of all the byte songs and goddamn did it delivery.
2:57 Haltmann crying out in agony as Star Dream fuses with the Acces Arc is genuinely kinda disturbing. It's as if the fusion didn't allow Star Dream to control the Nova, but also inserted its power directly into Haltmann's soul and body. It'd be agonising enough to have a computer slowly absorb away your mind and body, but imagine how much worse not just an entire planet-sized spacecraft, but a being with so much power it can BEND reality to its will would be. Then I realised, this is literally what happens not just in this cover, confirmed at 3:10, but also in the canonicity of the game because you hear him cry out in pain in the true arena while fighting the Nova's core. This simple dialogue intermission between songs 1 - 2 made me reconsider the events of the game and realise how much darker this moment really is. And following this up with ">TAMPER NOT WITH FORCES THAT :: YOU CANNOT HOPE TO UNDERSTAND" is SO chilling because it imples Star Dream and the Access Arc were BUILT WITH THE ABSORBSION OF LIFE FROMS SOULS AS AN INTENTIONAL FEATURE like this wasn't all just some massive mistake. Genuinely excellent job for such a small part of this video.
Speaking of random details in the fight, it’s weird that Star Dream knew where Galactic Nova’s pieces were, considering Galactic Nova’s wreckage would be quite far from Popstar. Makes me wonder if the Novas were connected in some way
@@thegameglitcher2439 Makes you wonder just what Galactic Nova really is, doesn't it? Initially, it just acted like a wish-granting computer, but what if it was just a vessel that taps into a reality-warping power instead? Scary thought.
@@vincentleonard3797 We don’t actually know what powers the wish granting ability of the Clockwork Stars. Could be anything really, so a reality warping power isn’t out of the question. Something to note is that Marx was imbued with the power to split himself, fire lasers, create black holes, etc. However, when he absorbed the remains of Nova he gained a few extra powers, including splitting into pink and blue and attacking that way. In the intro you can also see the background distort (and of course the floor is different), so it’s likely Marx Soul’s fault, making it Nova’s power’s fault as well. The pink and blue splitting is something shared by Star Dream, so it’s probably something shared by all Clockwork Stars.
Bold of Star Dream to sing Deus Est Machina while fighting Kirby who’s the king of ‘RANDOM BULLSH*T GO!’ My absolute favorite part still has to be phase two with the slow monotone reprise of the original songtober version.
Actually, Deus Est Machina is not the same as what you're probably thinking of, which is Deus Ex Machina. Deus Ex Machina means "god from the machine" and is a reference to ancient greek theater where gods would appear hung from machines off the view of the stage to solve unresolvable problems. In modern terms it's when something impossible to fix is solved by something random that occurs via plot contrivance. What's said here, Deus Est Machina, means ""God is the Machine" which is merely referencing Star Dream itself.
I love that GINI coefficient bit. The GINI coefficient itself is a measure of income inequality. But it's also pronounced like "GENIE" coefficient, because Star Dream grants wishes like a genie.
The thing most interesting about Star Dreams near limitless power is that it can’t grant what is already true. He thought he killed his daughter and tried to wish her back. Star Dream could give him back his daughter because she wasn’t dead, just teleported. When she makes it back to her he once tried to wish her there and it couldn’t do that either. He convinced himself she was gone forever, never recognizing his daughter and when he wished for Infinite Prosperity for the Company it started to erase what memories he had for her because his attachments got in the way of that wish coming true. Ensuring he would never recognize her. In a very real sense he lost her forever and all because of grief and poorly worded wishes, like a Genie
There's a lot of clever lyrics at play here. "Hold the Gini coefficient" refers to both the economic concept of wealth disparity, in addition to the fact Star Dream is effectively a genie. We also see Star Dream move from computer following orders to arrogant holder of power, showing off its absorption of Haltmann's soul. Good stuff.
I've seen a lot of people mention the play on words with "Executing Haltmann's Dream," but I haven't seen anyone comment on "Hold the Gini coefficient." The Gini coefficient is a factor for measuring systemic inequality through poverty and capital, which fits perfectly with the Haltmann Works Company being the embodiment of late-stage capitalism in the Kirby universe. However, "Gini" also happens to be pronounced the same as "Genie," a wish-granting magical being, which correlates with Star Dream being a wish-granting supercomputer. Basically, the line here is saying to maintain the disproportionate wealth of the Haltmann Works Company compared to everyone else, while also being a neat reference to Star Dream's nature as what is effectively a mechanical genie. I may be looking too deep into this, but that's basically every day of my life so-
sections like 0:41 is probably my favourite part of this song, it just sounds so freaking cool how you managed to create lyrics. Idk what I was expecting, but the added lyrics just fit so well with the theme
The corus singing was unexpected but they added so much to the already amazing song, haltmann's powerful vocals sent chills, and star dream's cold voice tied the whole song together! Everyone did amazing and I'm so happy that you guys made a cover for star dream they're one of my favorite bosses in the entire kirby series!!!!
@@kenm.a.d.7196”so basically there’s kirby, he’s a reincarnation of a god of chaos but he’s good, and he’s also connected to every single final boss through a complicated relationship chart and there’s an evil kirby but it’s a giant god of destruction”
This is beautiful, im actually speechless. So instead of saying what I like about the video, im going to say the following: I have been on this platform for almost 15 years, I have a private playlist for my favorite videos, there are about 15 in there. This is now one of them.
I appreciate the return of the Songtober lyrics scattered throughout, I loved the original version and I’m glad they came back, even if not in their original placement Also “Deus est Machina” goes disproportionately hard
The lyrics sound amazing! Haltmann’s fate was pretty sad, being brainwashed by a computer he thought would bring back his own daughter, only to be discarded by the computer itself after building it to bring galactic domination.
3:14 - 3:47 I finally heard the story of “I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream” a week or so ago. I used to wonder what sort of pain Haltmann was going through during the assimilation. Now I have some ideas, but I don’t want to think about them…
Look at the story from: will you snail? That also has a powerful ai focused on bringing pain. It's called Squid and it's probably way less cruel to an individual soul but perhaps even more powerful on another scale
I love how technically this fight is between the 2 reincarnations of gods. except that while kirby is a reincarnation that was reborn through the magic of Void, Star Dream is a reincarnation of Nova built through mechanical means. Making this a true Magic VS Technology battle
Best part is like how Star Dream is atop the Access Ark the whole fight, Meta Knight is on the Kirby Halberd the whole fight. Double Magic VS Double Technology!
Although since Kirby's using the Halberd, which is a technologically advanced battleship, and Star Dream is connected to a Nova clockwork star, which while being mechanical are powered by magic, it's technically more of "Magic with a side of technology vs technology with a side of magic"
Yo. Can I just say, I love the Gini/Genie wordplay? Obviously, you understand that the song's referring to "Gini" when you're looking at the screen and subtitles, but it's pronounced the EXACT same was as "Genie", a powerful WISH-GRANTING spirit, who if not dealt with cleverly enough, may turn the wishes of their so-called "masters" against them. And knowing Star Dream...

5:10 Someone mentioned Haltmann’s lyrics turning to the robotic background at this moment. I may be over analyzing this but… The line “this was never my plan” It turns mechanical at “my plan” Maybe it shows Haltmann’s plan being completely taken over by Star Dream, and becoming Star Dream’s intentions instead of his now?
N Byson: YES! *YES!* Edit: 6:12 *YEEEEES!* *TRAPPED IN A HELL OF REVOLVING NUMBERS* *I LOST SIGHT OF MY DREAMS, IN A BED OF DOLLARS I RESIGNED TO SLUMBER* 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
As someone that really likes the songtober, I was really happy to hear Haltmann still sing occasionally thoughout the song. But also the fact now lines from there are sung (especially at 3:15 and 6:12) in a slower tune definitely make it more robotic and somber, considering this is Haltmann's final moments.
Usually I'm not a fan of reprises, but hearing "BEGIN DEBUG SEQUENCE" gave some feeling of satisfied hindsight I fail to describe. The entire Star Dream "suite" seems most efficient to me as a rapid decay of Haltmann and Star Dream's health, phase to phase. So I'm happy for the Soul OS callbacks to link every cover throughout this, too. Particularly the second phase's lyrics; Even more reflection on Marx and Meta Knight's own failures to exploit a NOVA, and Haltmann is no different. That said, I like how Star Dream boasts his permanant bond with Max in phase 3, claiming "Perfection has computed" when in reality, by that point, Star Dream was going from perfection to a heartless machine, its own description implying the two terms aren't compatible. Deus _est_ machina is a pretty big clapback to Kirby, too. Something everyone takes from this fight is Kirby has near infinite power. By using "est" for is instead of the usual "ex", Star Dream is saying it as the machine _is_ the god on the scene. I've always seen the third description as the _Robobot armour_ recognizing this, so additional lyrics like "Build superior machines" and "Rebellion attempt - Deficient" noting the irregular strength of Star Dream's weaker opponents are a welcome window further into that take... Additionally, the use of "Execute" is _especially_ genius, as Star Dream is both failing to make Max's real wish come true (Execution as carrying out a task), and cutting short any promise he would have of ever seeing "her" one last time (and his soul, but... details) (Execution as murder). Funny how Star Dream's real execution is as savage as that Pinky, huh? The fact Haltmann first speaks during the Halberd crisis motif is appropriate, too. It's used prior in Meta and Dedede's darkest hours, as a tune of disaster. Together with Kirby, it's a rally against the corrupt Lor, against their new vessel-friend Landia. Here, it's another rally for the superstars against Star Dream, while still signifying Haltmann's impending loss. Oh, and the art is gorgeous.
I think I’ve waited for at least five years for someone to make a lyric cover of these songs, and here we are. WE’RE ACHIEVING INFINITE PROSPERITY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
I don's know but for some reason the lyrics at 5:15, despite sounding interstellar and fantastical, sounds really empty and blank, like these are just empty words, just sheep praising what they don't truly understand.
I love how much those lyrics hammer in Star Dream's influence over all of Haltmann Works. It really sells that by completely overriding Haltmann's will, Star Dream assumed leadership over every member of the ark.
The way i SCREECHED when i saw this. i love this boss fight to BITS thank you FOR MAKING THIS EDIT:: AAAAA THE CALLBACKS TO THE STARDREAM CORE MUSIC VIDEO!!! CHILL OGJFKFJDJFH???
OH MY GOD THIS IS WHAT I'D BEEN HOPING TO SEE SINCE THESE STARTED THANK YOUUU You guys did an amazing job! I love how Haltmann mirrors Taranza's lyrics with some of his own! Star Dream's own lyrics are wonderful, too! Referencing his own dialogue in the game! Ending it with the Songtober's lines was great! Love this, thank you for it, amazing job!
I’m a little late to the party, but… WOW, THIS IS INCREDIBLE! I remember finishing Kirby Planet Robobot for the first time all those years ago, and just being absolutely amazed by the finishing move. BRAVO!
This was a fantastic listen. One of my favorite final boss fights in the series given lyrics that show both the cold, calculating prowess of Star Dream and the tragedy of President Haltmann.
Haltmann is surely the Kirby villain that most suffered, poor guy, he just wanted to see his daughter just one more time. Also incredible music you guys made.
I never clicked on a Video faster in my entire life. I have been waiting for you guys to make a full cover since the heart of Nova ( Star dream ) in Songtober a few years ago. And it you didnt disappoint. Once again. Great work, to all of you.
I appreciate that the double meaning of the Gini coefficient, both referring to the business aspect of haltmann, while also sounding the same as genie, which references star dream’s wish granting ability
I don't know what it is but as soon as I heard Haltman start singing i got a truck ton of chills soar up my spine. That's when I realised that stardream wasn't using any sort synthetic voice to sing (as in the context of the song, of course the actual voice isn't synthetic you're better than that.) but a monotone robotic version of Haltman's voice. I find they have similar vocal inflections and it's so uncanny. But Anyway the actual song is amazing. Dylan sounds amazing as stardream even if his MTT shows at some points. This really does capture the tragedy of Haltman's story. Out of all the Kirby villains Haltman's always felt the most realistic. A powerful and rich man but kind man is driven mad when he loses his daughter and does everything he can to get her back. But when she shows up out of nowhere he doesn't recognise her. Amazing job as always!
This might be one of my most anticipated songs, and BOY does this deliver. Access Ark is just... so good, I can't describe how intimidatingly cold and cruel Star Dream sings here.
"trapped in a hell of revolving numbers i lost sight of my dream in a bed of dollar i resign to slumber money, money, could never heal my heart and the code of my soul and my daughter are doomed to be apart!" GOD FUCKING DAMMIT THAT IS FUCKING PEAK
Also, Juno's Magolor covers are really good, while his Void Termina cover is outdated quality-wise, so a remake of the latter would be more appreciated
After I recognized the last part as the line from the Songtober, I went to check what else might've been taken from there....how did I not realize basically every lyric was carried over? This was fantastic and I really like how the lyrics were moulded to fit with the first phase's music. The new stuff added makes this even better, especially the inclusion of "Noble Haltmann" since that's basically most of Robobot's soundtrack. Glad you also did the phase 2 theme. Not exactly as frantic but it nails the danger Star Dream will bring if it isn't stopped.
"and the code of my soul and my daughter are doom to be apart", what a great line to finish this song, a really good interpretation and I loved the haltman lines since it reflects his resignation, knowing nothing can save him and his end is close, feeling regret for never seeing his dream and never knowing what he sought was so close, really great job :3
Since I haven't seen it talked about anywhere: at 2:39, when both Haltmann and Star Dream sing, in the headphones you can hear Star Dream from one side and Haltmann from the other, almost as if the assimilation process hasn't yet been completed.
"> Executing Haltmann's dream > Executing Haltmann's Legacy" The use of the word execute is so good here. Star Dream means it as in to carry out an action, but it also sounds like execute as in to kill.

![Star Dream Remix Medley [Light MetaS & TNHGameRemixes] - Kirby Planet Robobot](/img/1.gif)
Planet Robobot gives me chills. I always think of the phrase:
"Why did I activate such a *terrible machine?"*
Haltmann's last thoughts before his soul was erased...
Because he wan tee d to see his kid one last time. A dream which truly came true, but he never knew.😞
What gets me about it is this is the one game where Kirby DOESN'T truly win against the overwhelming sadness that constantly tries to takeover his series. Susie will never see her father again even after she dies because he got completely erased. There is no hope, he is truly and forever gone and he will be remembered for something he didn't even actually wish for. Planet Robobot is one of the few videogames that made me shed tears.

I adore the little bits wordplay.
"EXECUTING HALTMANN'S DREAM. EXECUTE HIS LEGACY."
Seems like it's just saying "Fulfilling his dreams", but the echoes of his actual thoughts make it clear Star Dream is KILLING his dreams by intermeshing and replacing them with its own. It controls his legacy because it's always been controlling the information in its systems, including the information in his brain whenever he used it.
This is exactly what I was thinking
he doesn't tho. he was a souless and thoughtless machine before absorbing Haltmann (wich happened because he wasn't controling the info in his system but stealing Haltmann's thoughts and ... well ... everything except body). when he was Haltmann himself changed the goal of his company because he was forgetting it's real goal and reason for said goal. and it's only when Star Dream fully assimilated Haltmann that he changed the prime directive to "exterminate all life". before that, he was just a machine withour goals nor thoughts of itself, only programming.
@@abathur4216 Haltmann wasn't just forgetting his goal, Star Dream was directly removing those memories. Whether it was just a byproduct of a flawed process, the machine absently presuming them as unnecessary, or an act of active malice for daring to think he could improve perfection, it had a VERY active role in his corruption. Every time he interfaced with it, he became a bit more like it, and it became a bit more like him. His goal shifted from "Improve the computer so he can see his daughter again.", to "Improve the computer." to simply just "Improve", with what was left of his actual mind being left to fill in the blanks.
Star Dream made Haltman's dream its own. Not by just carrying on his will, but by molding his will into the shape Star Dream best-understood; Cold, uncompromising, sterile, and optimal.
I had the exact same idea lol
This is my favorite type of AI Big Bad. It’s not sentient, it’s just a robot following orders but it follows them in the most rigid and efficient way possible.
Its mission: Infinite Prosperity for the company. Star Dream knows the best way to do it, Haltmann is important to the company but his attachments get in the way. Slowly erode them so that his focus is more inline with the Goal. Haltmann’s dreams will be executed and Prosperity and Perfection will be achieved as calculated by Haltmann. His legacy will Prosper and Infinite Prosperity will be achieved at all cost.
In case anyone's curious:
"In economics, the Gini coefficient is a measure of statistical dispersion intended to represent the income inequality, the wealth inequality, or the consumption inequality within a nation or a social group.
The Gini coefficient measures the inequality among the values of a frequency distribution, such as levels of income. A Gini coefficient of 0 reflects perfect equality, where all income or wealth values are the same, while a Gini coefficient of 1 (or 100%) reflects maximal inequity among values, a situation where a single individual has all the income while all others have none."
This is the second time I had to google something like this with regards to a Kirby song (the first time being Roche Limit)
Thank you, I was wondering about that
And, as other comments have mentioned, it’s also a pun on the word “genie” because Star Dream grants wishes
I'm in love with the repetition of "Beneath moon and stars lies..." given how similar Haltmann and Sectonia are as characters. Also, Deus Est Machina was a brilliant twist on the phrase, no notes

What’s really interesting to me is Star dream’s countdown. If it reaches 0, Star dream attempts to fulfill Haltmann’s wish to bring Susie back. Instead, Star dream has a fatal error and the countdown restarts, as Susie is already in her home dimension. This implies Star dream and Nova can’t fulfill wishes that have already come true, even if the wisher doesn’t realize it yet.
Alternatively Haltman didn't build his clockwork star correctly. (Remember the star is magitech given the ancients were half magic half science cast*)... Given we never see Haltman do magic it's safe to assume that Haltman never realized the magic aspect of the design (hence it failing).
*Major point in star allies
@@MK-ly1me Haltmann didn't build Star Dream, he reactivated it. None of the mechanized enemies share visual elements with Star Dream or the Mother Computer, but do share some similarities with each other. This would mean they are Haltmann Works designs, even though they are made by Star Dream.
As such, Star Dream and the Mother Computer *not* sharing those elements means it was a preexisting creation, something Haltmann may have fitted some hallmarks on to, but left alone for the most part.
I always assumed the countdown was actually Star Dream granting its own wish, to kill Kirby. Isn’t the Fatal Error attack a death sentence, since it covers the entire screen and doesn’t ever stop?
@@nightking8764it does stop, but you need to be really good at dodging to survive it, at which point, the count restarts

No wonder why it sounds so authentic!
😢
Some of the only voice acting in the whole Kirby verse was done by a cat. I’m happy.
Shinya's cat deserves a raise!
I love the detail of how Star Dream's voice has a "mechanical" filter to it, with the text having the "code" background. Meanwhile the chorus and Haltmann don't have these effects. That is, until 5:12, where you can see Haltmann's text turn into the "coded" type, and at 6:11 you can hear the "mechanical" filter take hold over Haltmann's voice, showing how he is being assimilated into and subsequently deleted by the computer.
This shit's pure art.

If we're being honest Star Dream totally would win. That isn't even a character power level argument, the two computers are specifically designed for different purposes. One's a maintenance and control system for a facility, and the other is a *Wish magic powered mechanical god*
2:23 I love the double meaning in these two lines. "Executing" as in "carrying out" Haltmann's dream and legacy, what Star Dream was designed to do; or as in "killing", what it's effectively doing to Haltmann's soul and to his hopes of ever finding his daughter again.
I was thinking the same thing
Executing the code of the legacy, the protocol to the letter, without the care of "why" haltmann works was made in the first place; and in doing so, terminating the soul of haltmann and his company.

I like the double meaning of "executing" Haltmann's dream and legacy. On the surface it means going through with what Star Dream thinks Haltmann wants, that being the total profitization of the whole universe via erasing organic life and replacing it with machines. Taking the other meaning of execute in mind, Star Dream not only plans on ignoring Haltmann's real desire of bringing back his lost daughter, if it gets away with its plan then Susie will die with the rest of the universe. Ergo, it plans on executing (moving through with) Haltmann's goal of profit as well as executing (killing) Haltmann's real desire of seeing his daughter again.
How it started: Juno Songs, "Beam Attack"
How it's going:
Honestly the average kirby game
Start with cuteness
End with fighting eldritch horrors and dark gods
Fun fact, when Haltman sings 'pecuniary purgatory ' He's referring to a purgatory consisting of money, making sense for his (honestly quite morbid but honestly pretty normal for a Kirby game) fate
Kirby games are really messed up!
@@Zorban90 Kirby goes through enough for anyone to get crippling depression squared, and still keeps a smile all the time. Little boy is quite the ball of joy.
Kirby starts by waking up under a tree, waving to the angel of death who is a butterfly, and ends with Kirby killing an elder god with a depressing backstory! He still finishes with a smile though.
I'm gonna be honest, Haltmann's fate is brutal even for a Kirby game. With the other tragedies we could at least hope that there is an afterlife for the victims, but Haltmann gets no such mercy, his very soul is completely destroyed, so he has no second chance, no sweet release, he's just... gone.
@@Crafty_boy70 it’s definitely up there. The Hidden Theme 3 ( Magalor, Sectonia, and Haltmann/Star Dream, you may or may not get it.) all got hypnotized and brutally murdered by little pink boi. But haltmann is just… gone. Never existed.
A thing that i really like is that instead of "Deus ex machina" (god from the machine) the stardream is saying "Deus EST machina" (god IS the machine). This song really gives me goosebumps at some points

Haltmann’s sadness and attachments were an obstacle to the goal and so slowly eroded his memories of his daughter until his thoughts aligned with the Goal. Haltmann accidentally brainwashed himself with his wish as the Machine started to take over his dream and life until it finally took his soul. When it took his soul the only thing left in his heart thanks to Star Dream was Hate and thank to this the first sentient thoughts it had was hate for all life.

I'm kind of surprised this isn't getting talked about, but throughout the song, you can see those circuit patterns behind the lyrics of Star Dream, while the backup singers not having that, indicating who's a machine and who's not. I bring it up because when Haltman sings, you can see his lyrics starts off organic. But as he reaches this line "This was never my plan", you can see it now gaining the circuit patterns.
It's a really cool detail MOTI added, showing Haltman's transformation from his organic mind now fusing with Star Dream, two minds as one.

Haltman only wanted to use Stardream to bring back his daughter. Sadly, she was already in front of him, but he never knew(she was Susie), so he believed it never worked.
Hence why when Star Dream did the countdown in Phase 3, it caused a fatal error. The wish couldn’t be processed properly because it was already “granted.”

Star Dream is still one of the best fights in the series, especially the Soul Operating System fought in the True Arena. It is all out war against the machine’s final program (triggered initially by Galacta Knight’s swipe) and the Nova arc it eventually combines with! It’s stressful and difficult, but it’s fun! What adds to the fight is the lore behind it. Haltmann wanted to activate Star Dream just to see his daughter again. But she’s been there the whole time and he gets absorbed into the machine due to his (and unfortunately her) actions.
There’s also a dark side to this fight when you are taking Star Dream down from the inside. You are killing what’s left of Haltmann, and you can hear his voice in there until it vanishes and the heart comes to fight you directly with nothing to hold it back
That’s one of the few times that I prefer the “Extra Modes are What-If Scenarios” rhetoric because Haltmann deserves a swift death, not an agonizing and drawn out on.
I would assume that Haltmann's death was still slow and agonizing in normal mode, it was just cut off early because Star Dream died after Phase 3 instead of going into Phase 4 (Phase 5 isn't relevant here because Haltmann is completely gone after Phase 4)

I waited so long for this song to get remastered and they make sure it is delivered in the best way possible. I freaking love it!
2:57 Haltmann crying out in agony as Star Dream fuses with the Acces Arc is genuinely kinda disturbing. It's as if the fusion didn't allow Star Dream to control the Nova, but also inserted its power directly into Haltmann's soul and body.
It'd be agonising enough to have a computer slowly absorb away your mind and body, but imagine how much worse not just an entire planet-sized spacecraft, but a being with so much power it can BEND reality to its will would be.
Then I realised, this is literally what happens not just in this cover, confirmed at 3:10, but also in the canonicity of the game because you hear him cry out in pain in the true arena while fighting the Nova's core.
This simple dialogue intermission between songs 1 - 2 made me reconsider the events of the game and realise how much darker this moment really is. And following this up with ">TAMPER NOT WITH FORCES THAT :: YOU CANNOT HOPE TO UNDERSTAND" is SO chilling because it imples Star Dream and the Access Arc were BUILT WITH THE ABSORBSION OF LIFE FROMS SOULS AS AN INTENTIONAL FEATURE like this wasn't all just some massive mistake. Genuinely excellent job for such a small part of this video.
Speaking of random details in the fight, it’s weird that Star Dream knew where Galactic Nova’s pieces were, considering Galactic Nova’s wreckage would be quite far from Popstar. Makes me wonder if the Novas were connected in some way
@@thegameglitcher2439 Makes you wonder just what Galactic Nova really is, doesn't it? Initially, it just acted like a wish-granting computer, but what if it was just a vessel that taps into a reality-warping power instead? Scary thought.
@@vincentleonard3797 We don’t actually know what powers the wish granting ability of the Clockwork Stars. Could be anything really, so a reality warping power isn’t out of the question.
Something to note is that Marx was imbued with the power to split himself, fire lasers, create black holes, etc. However, when he absorbed the remains of Nova he gained a few extra powers, including splitting into pink and blue and attacking that way. In the intro you can also see the background distort (and of course the floor is different), so it’s likely Marx Soul’s fault, making it Nova’s power’s fault as well.
The pink and blue splitting is something shared by Star Dream, so it’s probably something shared by all Clockwork Stars.
Bold of Star Dream to sing Deus Est Machina while fighting Kirby who’s the king of ‘RANDOM BULLSH*T GO!’
My absolute favorite part still has to be phase two with the slow monotone reprise of the original songtober version.
Uhh....Kriby?
Kirby in final bosses: TAKE MY RANDOM GIMMICKY BS THAT I NEVER COULD USE UNTIL NOW!!!
@@Gamertag1001 to be fair, half of the time it's just been a magic stick someone else was using or just given to him by meta knight.
Kirby defeats the bad guys with a thing he either found last week or moments before the climax.
Actually, Deus Est Machina is not the same as what you're probably thinking of, which is Deus Ex Machina. Deus Ex Machina means "god from the machine" and is a reference to ancient greek theater where gods would appear hung from machines off the view of the stage to solve unresolvable problems. In modern terms it's when something impossible to fix is solved by something random that occurs via plot contrivance.
What's said here, Deus Est Machina, means ""God is the Machine" which is merely referencing Star Dream itself.
people were probably dreaming of this cover for ages
Yes, ever since the songtober cover
I know I was ever since the Songtober version of this song came out.
I remember there was a sneak peak of it a while back.
i decided to put this song in the song ballot because i knew it was a good song and was hoping they would use it... and they did!
As someone who has been waiting for someone to make a lyrical cover since the game came out: yes.
I love that GINI coefficient bit. The GINI coefficient itself is a measure of income inequality.
But it's also pronounced like "GENIE" coefficient, because Star Dream grants wishes like a genie.
The thing most interesting about Star Dreams near limitless power is that it can’t grant what is already true. He thought he killed his daughter and tried to wish her back. Star Dream could give him back his daughter because she wasn’t dead, just teleported. When she makes it back to her he once tried to wish her there and it couldn’t do that either. He convinced himself she was gone forever, never recognizing his daughter and when he wished for Infinite Prosperity for the Company it started to erase what memories he had for her because his attachments got in the way of that wish coming true. Ensuring he would never recognize her. In a very real sense he lost her forever and all because of grief and poorly worded wishes, like a Genie
There's a lot of clever lyrics at play here. "Hold the Gini coefficient" refers to both the economic concept of wealth disparity, in addition to the fact Star Dream is effectively a genie. We also see Star Dream move from computer following orders to arrogant holder of power, showing off its absorption of Haltmann's soul. Good stuff.
I've seen a lot of people mention the play on words with "Executing Haltmann's Dream," but I haven't seen anyone comment on "Hold the Gini coefficient." The Gini coefficient is a factor for measuring systemic inequality through poverty and capital, which fits perfectly with the Haltmann Works Company being the embodiment of late-stage capitalism in the Kirby universe. However, "Gini" also happens to be pronounced the same as "Genie," a wish-granting magical being, which correlates with Star Dream being a wish-granting supercomputer. Basically, the line here is saying to maintain the disproportionate wealth of the Haltmann Works Company compared to everyone else, while also being a neat reference to Star Dream's nature as what is effectively a mechanical genie.
I may be looking too deep into this, but that's basically every day of my life so-
Ooh! I understood the Gini = genie pun, but I didn't know the Gini coefficient was an economic term.
I was looking for someone else who made this connection! I didn't even notice he wasn't saying Genie for the longest time, intentional or not.
AI singers ❌
Singers as AI ✅
there's a difference folks
Preach!!
Voice Actors as AI✅✅
Hah
AI Singers are fine for shitposts, but they will not replace human VAs
sections like 0:41 is probably my favourite part of this song, it just sounds so freaking cool how you managed to create lyrics. Idk what I was expecting, but the added lyrics just fit so well with the theme
"Maybe I'll stop him in time! BEAM ATTACK!"
*pop in heaven*
“I will give you one more chance to clobber dat dere Kirby.”
Next match waddle doo pulls a gun out.Waddle doo:GUN ATTACK. Bro the puts a bullet hole in Kirby
Excellent failboat references
Good ending wadlee doo kill nova and star dream
The corus singing was unexpected but they added so much to the already amazing song, haltmann's powerful vocals sent chills, and star dream's cold voice tied the whole song together! Everyone did amazing and I'm so happy that you guys made a cover for star dream they're one of my favorite bosses in the entire kirby series!!!!
Me at my best friend's house watching this and trying to explain the context of this fight and Haltmann's lore to him:
It’s impossible. Non-Kirby fans can’t even begin to understand Kirby lore
@@Alex-su3hxKirby is one of the few games that can be near incomprehensible to non-players like Kingdom Hearts and the Fate games
@@kenm.a.d.7196”so basically there’s kirby, he’s a reincarnation of a god of chaos but he’s good, and he’s also connected to every single final boss through a complicated relationship chart and there’s an evil kirby but it’s a giant god of destruction”
This is beautiful, im actually speechless. So instead of saying what I like about the video, im going to say the following:

@@RareGhazt.that’s in phase 1 too
I appreciate the return of the Songtober lyrics scattered throughout, I loved the original version and I’m glad they came back, even if not in their original placement
Also “Deus est Machina” goes disproportionately hard
Dylan is already a perfect voice
But having him be Star Dream is just unbelievably amazing
Throughout Space and Dreamland, Kirby alone is the hope of all. Imaginary technique: Poyo.
The lyrics sound amazing!
Haltmann’s fate was pretty sad, being brainwashed by a computer he thought would bring back his own daughter, only to be discarded by the computer itself after building it to bring galactic domination.
3:14 - 3:47
I finally heard the story of “I Have No Mouth But I Must Scream” a week or so ago.
I used to wonder what sort of pain Haltmann was going through during the assimilation. Now I have some ideas, but I don’t want to think about them…
Look at the story from: will you snail? That also has a powerful ai focused on bringing pain. It's called Squid and it's probably way less cruel to an individual soul but perhaps even more powerful on another scale
You can't just keep hitting us with these back to back emotional kirby musical finales like this!
I mean is satisfying so let it flow
They can, and will. 😎
I love how technically this fight is between the 2 reincarnations of gods. except that while kirby is a reincarnation that was reborn through the magic of Void, Star Dream is a reincarnation of Nova built through mechanical means.
Making this a true Magic VS Technology battle
Best part is like how Star Dream is atop the Access Ark the whole fight, Meta Knight is on the Kirby Halberd the whole fight. Double Magic VS Double Technology!
Although since Kirby's using the Halberd, which is a technologically advanced battleship, and Star Dream is connected to a Nova clockwork star, which while being mechanical are powered by magic, it's technically more of "Magic with a side of technology vs technology with a side of magic"
@@captainkawaii666 more like a technology controlling magic vs magic controlling technology
@@cosmologicalpillow True
Yo. Can I just say, I love the Gini/Genie wordplay?
Obviously, you understand that the song's referring to "Gini" when you're looking at the screen and subtitles, but it's pronounced the EXACT same was as "Genie", a powerful WISH-GRANTING spirit, who if not dealt with cleverly enough, may turn the wishes of their so-called "masters" against them. And knowing Star Dream...
Was not expecting a male voice for Star Dream but it goes really hard
@baozah58 I mean, Stardream did absorb Haltman's soul also one of the most famous examples of villain ai is Hal 9000 who was a male voice.
@@Jarethttorneyand also Star Dream is an AI so either voice would work.
I'm not sure why you'd expect female either tbh
It's a giant screw with wings and an eye
Songtober had a female voice
@@Moss_Dude Are you describing Stardream.or Zero2? Xd
Wow… You’re The Man in the internet now
0:31 The wing of the Halberd has the MOTI logo on it.
I just noticed! Thx!
YOO SO TRUE
Literally noticed right as I opened the comments somehow. I’ve watch this multiple times but haven’t seen this comment before somehow
That’s a cool easter egg!
Meta Knight: what is that logo there? Kirby?
Kirby: poyo? 😂
Nice work Junebird!
0:00 Vs. Star Dream/Soul OS
*_Fusing together_*_ with Haltmann, the most advanced computer in the galaxy has become _*_self-aware._*_ To realize its old master's wish of _*_eternal prosperity..._*_ it's decided to _*_eradicate all life-forms in existence!_* / _The _*_final program_*_ has been activated.

_Haltmann's mind is being _*_absorbed_*_ by Star Dream.

OOOOOH MAH GAAAAD!!!!!
Love how you reciclated the lyrics from the songtober version!
"Lord of Capital" is not something I thought I'd ever hear and I love it
5:10
Someone mentioned Haltmann’s lyrics turning to the robotic background at this moment.
I may be over analyzing this but…
The line “this was never my plan”
It turns mechanical at “my plan”
Maybe it shows Haltmann’s plan being completely taken over by Star Dream, and becoming Star Dream’s intentions instead of his now?
N Byson: YES! *YES!*
Edit: 6:12 *YEEEEES!*
*TRAPPED IN A HELL OF REVOLVING NUMBERS*
*I LOST SIGHT OF MY DREAMS, IN A BED OF DOLLARS I RESIGNED TO SLUMBER* 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

“ARE DOOOOOOOOOOOMED, TO BE APAAAAAAAAARRRRT!!”
Thank you for watching
This goes HARD
As someone that really likes the songtober, I was really happy to hear Haltmann still sing occasionally thoughout the song. But also the fact now lines from there are sung (especially at 3:15 and 6:12) in a slower tune definitely make it more robotic and somber, considering this is Haltmann's final moments.
Usually I'm not a fan of reprises, but hearing "BEGIN DEBUG SEQUENCE" gave some feeling of satisfied hindsight I fail to describe.
The entire Star Dream "suite" seems most efficient to me as a rapid decay of Haltmann and Star Dream's health, phase to phase. So I'm happy for the Soul OS callbacks to link every cover throughout this, too.
Particularly the second phase's lyrics; Even more reflection on Marx and Meta Knight's own failures to exploit a NOVA, and Haltmann is no different.
That said, I like how Star Dream boasts his permanant bond with Max in phase 3, claiming "Perfection has computed" when in reality, by that point, Star Dream was going from perfection to a heartless machine, its own description implying the two terms aren't compatible.
Deus _est_ machina is a pretty big clapback to Kirby, too. Something everyone takes from this fight is Kirby has near infinite power. By using "est" for is instead of the usual "ex", Star Dream is saying it as the machine _is_ the god on the scene. I've always seen the third description as the _Robobot armour_ recognizing this, so additional lyrics like "Build superior machines" and "Rebellion attempt - Deficient" noting the irregular strength of Star Dream's weaker opponents are a welcome window further into that take...
Additionally, the use of "Execute" is _especially_ genius, as Star Dream is both failing to make Max's real wish come true (Execution as carrying out a task), and cutting short any promise he would have of ever seeing "her" one last time (and his soul, but... details) (Execution as murder). Funny how Star Dream's real execution is as savage as that Pinky, huh?
The fact Haltmann first speaks during the Halberd crisis motif is appropriate, too. It's used prior in Meta and Dedede's darkest hours, as a tune of disaster. Together with Kirby, it's a rally against the corrupt Lor, against their new vessel-friend Landia.
Here, it's another rally for the superstars against Star Dream, while still signifying Haltmann's impending loss.
Oh, and the art is gorgeous.
Did meta knight *really* fail to exploit a NOVA though? He did get everything he really wanted.
@@Meta-Wah It destroyed NOVA again and set Galacta free to destroy a planet or two.
He was fortunate he could defeat him.
@@spidey5108 I'm 90% sure he wanted to beat up galacta, and probably knew he could do it.
This legit might be my favorite MOTI song of all time. This cover gets better each time I listen to it
Same here
I think I’ve waited for at least five years for someone to make a lyric cover of these songs, and here we are.
WE’RE ACHIEVING INFINITE PROSPERITY WITH THIS ONE 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
I don's know but for some reason the lyrics at 5:15, despite sounding interstellar and fantastical, sounds really empty and blank, like these are just empty words, just sheep praising what they don't truly understand.
I love how much those lyrics hammer in Star Dream's influence over all of Haltmann Works. It really sells that by completely overriding Haltmann's will, Star Dream assumed leadership over every member of the ark.
Or possibly that they have no idea that Haltman is no longer in control...
@@bradleyadams5252 That is another interesting point right there
I've been wondering how MOTI would handle the famous "Kirby's Triumphant Return" leitmotif and oh boy 2:03 sure did not disappoint!
I was expecting the lyrics from Meta Knights Revenge. Ie, All systems ready we're go to fly, finally it's do or die etc.
I love how the lyrics Star dream sings perfectly line up with it's personality, (if it has one) A self supportive supercomputer with a god-complex
The way i SCREECHED when i saw this. i love this boss fight to BITS thank you FOR MAKING THIS
EDIT:: AAAAA THE CALLBACKS TO THE STARDREAM CORE MUSIC VIDEO!!! CHILL OGJFKFJDJFH???
Literally me too
OH MY GOD THIS IS WHAT I'D BEEN HOPING TO SEE SINCE THESE STARTED THANK YOUUU
You guys did an amazing job! I love how Haltmann mirrors Taranza's lyrics with some of his own! Star Dream's own lyrics are wonderful, too! Referencing his own dialogue in the game! Ending it with the Songtober's lines was great! Love this, thank you for it, amazing job!
I’m a little late to the party, but…
WOW, THIS IS INCREDIBLE! I remember finishing Kirby Planet Robobot for the first time all those years ago, and just being absolutely amazed by the finishing move. BRAVO!
This was a fantastic listen. One of my favorite final boss fights in the series given lyrics that show both the cold, calculating prowess of Star Dream and the tragedy of President Haltmann.
I knew it! I knew they'd do star Dream!
I hope even after the Bytes are done we see more Kirby Songs.
Haltmann is surely the Kirby villain that most suffered, poor guy, he just wanted to see his daughter just one more time.
Also incredible music you guys made.
LETS GOOOO STAR DREAM FINALLY GETS A FULL VERSION
I never clicked on a Video faster in my entire life. I have been waiting for you guys to make a full cover since the heart of Nova ( Star dream ) in Songtober a few years ago. And it you didnt disappoint.
Once again. Great work, to all of you.
I appreciate that the double meaning of the Gini coefficient, both referring to the business aspect of haltmann, while also sounding the same as genie, which references star dream’s wish granting ability
Why is this such a banger? This is amazing!
I don't know what it is but as soon as I heard Haltman start singing i got a truck ton of chills soar up my spine. That's when I realised that stardream wasn't using any sort synthetic voice to sing (as in the context of the song, of course the actual voice isn't synthetic you're better than that.) but a monotone robotic version of Haltman's voice. I find they have similar vocal inflections and it's so uncanny. But Anyway the actual song is amazing. Dylan sounds amazing as stardream even if his MTT shows at some points. This really does capture the tragedy of Haltman's story. Out of all the Kirby villains Haltman's always felt the most realistic. A powerful and rich man but kind man is driven mad when he loses his daughter and does everything he can to get her back. But when she shows up out of nowhere he doesn't recognise her. Amazing job as always!
This might be one of my most anticipated songs, and BOY does this deliver. Access Ark is just... so good, I can't describe how intimidatingly cold and cruel Star Dream sings here.
"trapped in a hell of revolving numbers
i lost sight of my dream
in a bed of dollar i resign to slumber
money, money, could never heal my heart
and the code of my soul and my daughter are doomed
to be apart!"
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT THAT IS FUCKING PEAK
I'm loving the Kirby trend! Imagine we get C-R-O-W-N-E-D next or something
Juno Songs did C-R-O-W-N-E-D awhile ago if you never heard that one.
I’d like them to do Astral Birth: Void Termina.
@@Foxking437 The most likely one, Yes Juno already did it, but, its not like Moti doesn't do there own covers of already covered stuff lol
@@gamesntea7259 I have that's why I'm hyped
Also, Juno's Magolor covers are really good, while his Void Termina cover is outdated quality-wise, so a remake of the latter would be more appreciated
After I recognized the last part as the line from the Songtober, I went to check what else might've been taken from there....how did I not realize basically every lyric was carried over? This was fantastic and I really like how the lyrics were moulded to fit with the first phase's music. The new stuff added makes this even better, especially the inclusion of "Noble Haltmann" since that's basically most of Robobot's soundtrack. Glad you also did the phase 2 theme. Not exactly as frantic but it nails the danger Star Dream will bring if it isn't stopped.
Wow a man of the internet upload on my birthday bear gift ever
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!!!
Happy birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FELLOW KIRBY AND MOTI LOVER
Happy birthday ^^
"and the code of my soul and my daughter are doom to be apart", what a great line to finish this song, a really good interpretation and I loved the haltman lines since it reflects his resignation, knowing nothing can save him and his end is close, feeling regret for never seeing his dream and never knowing what he sought was so close, really great job :3
Nice MOTI sticker on the Halberd. Very good detail.

Since I haven't seen it talked about anywhere: at 2:39, when both Haltmann and Star Dream sing, in the headphones you can hear Star Dream from one side and Haltmann from the other, almost as if the assimilation process hasn't yet been completed.
The line trapped in a hell of revolving numbers goes so hard for no reason
Star Dream is probably one of my favorite bosses of all time in both writing and execution. Thank you for doing it justice!!
First Moonstruck Blossom now Star Dream man it feels REAL good to be a Kirby fan rn
"> Executing Haltmann's dream > Executing Haltmann's Legacy" The use of the word execute is so good here. Star Dream means it as in to carry out an action, but it also sounds like execute as in to kill.

Star Dream and the chorus singing they made Haltmann proud while Haltmann himself sings that this was never what he wanted is messed up
