Nothing like having the Kirby equivalent of Judas redeem himself by fighting against a metaphorical incarnation of the first sin of man...Kirby is crazy
Don't forget: The Kirby equivalent of Judas is fighting the metaphorical incarnation of the First Sin of Man, to explain MICROTRANSACTIONS IN A SIDE GAME.
The greatest lore implications that this fight and the resulting cutscene has is that you, the player, canonically spend $39.99 in microtransactions within the Kirby universe.

@babymariochannel8087 overpowered maybe, but even with the "overpowered" aspect, I would not say it's lacking if you enjoy kirby boss fights. I 100% the game and i have over 70 hours on it. Of course value is in the eye of the beholder, but 40$ for 70 hours of a game I loved doesn't feel bad to me.

creating an entire brand-new story with a god-like apple tree as the final boss is the best way to explain micro transition in a free-to-play Kirby game. good job HAL
@@astraldog3359 this whole story is the origin of the gem apples which are the main currency in the team kirby clash games (the apples can be bought in much larger amounts with real money)
For those womdering the original sin happened in heaven and it was Lucifer Deoending on who you ask it was either Pride as Lucifer wanted to "place [his] stars above the stars of heaven" which Magalor wanted to be the ruler above the stars or "pop star" once he got the crown. Another would argue it was Lust as Lust isn't inherently sexual. It means a ravenous passion or want for something again fitting with Magalor. The first sin on Earth was the eating of the Fruit (Commonly depicted as an apple Although never stated what fruit it is) of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The evil part came from Lucifer who some believe was trapped in the tree as punishment for his rebellion. Just as the crown being the knowledge of evil imprisoned itself in the apple tree To summerize The Master Crown is the Knowledge of all Evil ir Lucifer/Satan/The Dragon.
@@knellchthyomi2884original sin refers to the doctrine that Adam and Eve’s sin of eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil caused all humans to be inherently sinful. Attempting to categorize the Fall as one of the seven deadly sins is an unhelpful simplification. The first human sin was choosing to make our own definitions of good and evil instead of trusting God’s knowledge of what is right and wrong, by eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil. Original sin refers to that act and its effects, not Satan’s rebellion against God.
In Norse Mythology, Baldr, the god of light, was unkillable, because everything had made a vow to never harm him. However, there was one lone exception, the mistletoe plant. Loki, being the trickster god he is, arranged Baldr's death by mistletoe. Depending on the version of the story, the killing weapon is instead a _sword_ named mistletoe - or in the original Norse, "Mistilteinn". Also depending on the story, this sword is sometimes found within the underworld, Helheim, on account of being so apparently wicked. So here, the story of little trickster goofball Magolor, traversing the underworld looking for a way home, makes a few choice allusions to Norse Mythology.
The mistletoe is also a parasite that grows in the canopy of trees, and in several (if not all?) Scandinavian languages the word for canopy translates roughly to "tree crown". Additionally, in some versions of the Death of Baldr myth, the reason why the mistletoe can harm Baldr is because of a loophole in the vow. Everything that had touched the earth vowed not to harm Baldr, but because the mistletoe grows in trees it has never touched the earth.
@@gebis8515And the fact that the Master Crown isn’t just an ordinary artefact that grant its user great power but comes with a price to use their body as a vessel EVEN after the user becomes an undead corpse if its user died wearing the crown
I'll never forget the raw terror I felt seeing this thing descend from the sky for the first time. It's like HAL was fully aware that Kirby final bosses are seen as otherworldly abominations - and completely leaned into that!

@@joshcoy6748 maybe the Lor came and found him? Apparently it has a mind of its own, so it’s not completely impossible, but a better theory is that he just traveled from dimension to dimension before getting back

@Kzyit I think I can come up with something.... Doesn't Magolor not come from Halcandra? If I recall correctly, he came from Another Dimension. Still goes hard though.
@@soulofflame9999 he did spend a lot of time alone there, though. He likely still had an attachment to it, since even though he wasn’t born there, it was still his home.
I always say this and I'll say it again, find yoself someone who loves you as much as HAL loves Kirby. The amount of passion and effort they put into this 12 year old game is legit something to be inspired of
“Those who wear the Master Crown will gain power, but so will the darkness in their hearts. Thanks to the red fruit, it has become a wrathful wreath- a destroyer called the Tree Crown Without a Ruler!”
You know whats crazy? That alternate universe dream kingdom where we saw a bunch of alternate universe parallels of kirby, meta knight, gooey, and so on? That alternate magalor wearing green? That wasn't an alternate Magalor. IT WAS THE ORIGINAL MAGALOR THE WHOLE TIME. WE'VE BEEN PLAYED FOR FOOLS.
So we got Parallel and the Mirror world. The Parallels are the mirror world version of the alternate universe. Or maybe it's *not* an alternate universe? But if that's not the case, then that still means Magolor in that alternate universe is the real Magolor from the actual universe. Makes sense.
I was streaming this to my friend and was hoping to God that Whispy Woods would be the final boss since they were doing remixed versions of the bosses. I've never been happier.
After I beat the first world a friend of mine who had already finished the mode told me: "Isn't Whispy suppossed to be the first boss? Weird right?". I didn't think much of it, but now.. now I get it. He was setting me up lol
Historically, Ando always puts his whole Andussy into the final boss themes of Kirby, I'm gonna be incredibly sad when he eventually retires one day, but Kirby music is in good hands with Yuki Shimooka (He was on Lead Sound for RTDL Deluxe!) and Yuuta Ogasawara
The amount of sheer terror I felt when I saw a Biblically Accurate Whispy Woods descend to bring about the final days was immaculate. 10/10 would die again
It was funny because I was like "Hmm, we fought alternate versions of all the other bosses. I guess they just skipped Whispy.....oh, no, they did not skip Whispy"
Im sure others have noticed this, but I've never seen anyone else point this out, but the master crown without a ruler looks like it is wearing a halo with thorns, which reminds me of jesus' crown of thorns. It wouldnt make sense for the tree to be wearing the crown, but there arent really spikes anywhere else on the tree other than there so thats interesting
Kirby seems like the kind of series to give someone a redemption arc to fight a magical tree god possessed by a legendary artifact, all to explain the source of currency in a free-to-play spin-off game, and essentially confirm that this series now has a multiverse Wait, so what about the Magolor in Star Allies? Is that the same one we already know? Does he ever come back from the Kirby Clash world? Also, “If you’re over 25 and own a Switch, Magolor’s Epilogue is a must play!” -Wise Gem Apple Tree
It is very intimidating, it is one of the biggest enemies in the franchise, the biggest of all being Star Dream and the great Nova comet since these have the size of a planet comparable to Saturn.
Was playing it 4 players with my brothers and when it disappeared, I was like "That can't be good, gonna disappear into another dimension for a sec" The others were... less lucky
@@deluxe3ds star dream and the access ark could've been the biggest bosses of all time, but their sizes fluctuate from phase to phase it's hard to say how big they actually are.
When I was playing the part at 2:37 with the full remix of Ordeal hit right when the Master Crown did that massive attack where it slammed directly into the arena. I don't think I've ever been so utterly blown away.
The weirdest bit of lore this fight brings is that both *Mistilteinn and Void Termina* share the same attack. The attack where they shoot an array of lazers are both refer to the Master Crown of 'Crown of Hatred and Obsession'. It also suggests that there could be multiple crowns in existence since Void Termina has the power to summon some. Whether the crowns are just objects containing extreme negative power, are containing dark matter or are their own entity on themselves is not known.
It should be pointed out that even the bases of Void Termina's weapons resemble the Master Crown. Personally I think its true nature is a mere extension of Void Termina's infinite power.
I'm pretty sure every Kirby final boss has some move or detail that links back to Void Terminal. Even Necrodeus, the most obscure Kirby antagonist shares his giant laser beam with Void. Well all barring dedede, anyway.
@@sammoore2082 I don't mean share an attack as in they both do the same attack, I mean in-game they are refered to by the same name. The name connects the two.
Man, Kirby really goes all out with these finales, they are so epic using concepts that the typical human brain wouldn't think of right away. I wish trees were real...
@@caseyrobinson375 I heard there’s a lumberjack standing the size of an actual tree with a big blue ox too! Man, lumberjacks sound so cool, too bad they’re just myths
I love that the Final Boss themes for ANY Kirby game (especially the more recent ones) give that feeling of a true Final Battle in a setting where the world around you is ending and you're facing the final chapter of the game.
It's funny how if you wanted to, you could summarize this mode's climax as "Magolor fights for a pay raise" Dude, Hirokazu Ando is a goddamn incredible composer, yet another amazing final boss theme from him, I don't get how he does it. It's WILD hearing Team Kirby Clash's motifs show up in such an insane context, everything's so nicely intertwined with RtDL's motifs, and I get absolute chills from moments like 2:03 & especially 2:37 where Clash's melodies fully shine through. Shinya Kumazaki can NOT get away with coming up with such an insane premise
this man really did all of this to explain the backstory of a spin off in game currency. i am 100% sure no one asked for this, BUT IM SO GLAD WE GOT IT
New lore we got from this game (warning: pretty long) : *Magolor isn't actually from Halcandra + Magolor learned of the ancients and their creations from a dusty tome he found while traveling through Halcandra, initially believing it to be a fairytale. That last part makes me think the book was the book of legend that Hyness's clan wrote before he and his religion got it... Regardless, it was definitely written by the ancients themselves. *The Master Crown does give its wearer infinite power, but in exchange for slowly devouring their soul and amplifying the darkness in their heart and turning it into hatred. Also, the Master Crown has been used by other people for their own nefarious deeds in the past. It also apparently absorbs their negative emotions. *The Doomers, way back when, had a different form where they could warp space and time. *Metal General was used by (presumably) the ancients as a security guard and a weapon to exterminate enemies on other planets. *Both Kirby Clash games are canon, and simply take place in an alternate universe. The Magolor we see in the Kirby Clash games is actually our Magolor who ended up there after the events of Magolor Epilogue. He would eventually somehow return to the main universe in Kirby's Dream Collection. This also means Galacta Knight retroactively made his first canon appearance in the Kirby Clash games. *The Gem Apples in the Kirby Clash games originate from the giant Gem Apple that Magolor was reassembling the pieces of in order to restore himself in Magolor Epilogue. After the Master Crown fused with it and was defeated, Magolor was left with a single small Gem Apple. When he arrived in the Dream Kingdom, he planted the Gem Apple, which would grow into the Gem Apple Tree. The Dream Kingdom would then use Gem Apples as a currency. *Speculative Theory: in the battle with the Master Crown, we see an apocalyptic city (I think it might be Egg Engines?) as the background. Since we know the Master Crown is sentient + has had past users, I think it is showing a past memory, where it was used by someone to rain down destruction on Halcandra, which might explain why it looks like the way it does now. God, the way they finish this all up with this battle is truly masterful. The Master Crown doesn't even look like it belongs in a Kirby game, yet does at the same time. I can't wait to see what they have next in store. !!Edit: Okay, so there is some lore that that was left out of the English localization. I'll list them below as I find the Japanese pause descriptions (which is surprisingly hard) *Landia is not only a dragon, but a guardian deity. That means Landia is of some kind of divine status, though I suppose one would be able to tell from his English title of Guardian Angel. *The Japanese description kinda confirms that the Master Crown is basically a world destroyer, stating that it has "traveled through many worlds and lands," probabaly corrupting its victims in the worlds and influencing them to destroy them. Wtf were the ancients thinking when they made this thing lmao
@@segafan1316 It mentions the book in Magolor EX's pause description, and Magolor says he's not from Halcandra when talking to him in Extra Mode after collecting all Energy Spheres.
@@segafan1316 So Halcandra got desecrated by one of its creations... but then got subdued by the guardian Landia? Interesting on why Landia didn't want to give up the crown... not because of knowing Magolor is wanting its dark power, but because it seen the full force of the nightmarish artifact
@@friendlybendy2070 my main guess that the landia we fough in the extra mode is a landia who didn't expirience onward the events of the fight this or it was just too overconfident that this time it will win it have a good heart but my belive they were a bit of thought that this time they can win and stop because they know they are the only one who able to hold the crown with little problems and they can't either destroy it and give up on it or leave it will still give a higher chance to mag or anyone to get their hands on it
The craziest thing about this is this has been canon for years. Kumazaki mentioned in a really obscure 2017 Nintendo DREAM interview is that Shopkeeper Magolor is the same one from the mainline games.
I like to imagine he said this, and then later realized “Hey, I just had a good idea for a side mode in a return to dreamland remake. You get to play as magolor after the events of RTDL, and see the events that led to him appearing in the Kirby Clash games.”
@@Glitchyy07 Makes sense, but I still find it curious that he would specifically decide Shopkeeper Magolor was "our" Magolor from the get-go. The easiest answer by far would've been that Shopkeeper Magolor was an alternate counterpart, like everyone else in that game. Kumazaki going for a more convoluted explanation makes me think he was deliberately trying to set something up.
@@unstopable8000 I was at low health after the Doomer fight and I didn’t expect the root to shoot out as fast as it did for the first attack, so I died IMMEDIATELY after the cutscene. It was both funny and a crazy feeling to fight a being that huge in a side scrolling fashion. I believe this is the biggest Kirby boss fought in a 2D space (aside from being inside of Galactic Nova of course)
When I saw the shadows I knew exactly what would happen and avoid it. The size of the tree just amazed me, but then it just got further in the ground making the rocks kill me, like what. I died a lot in this fight.
Fought this boss yesterday. Literally gave me tonal whiplash, so much shit happening so fast. And I didn't expect the twist at the end that Magolor ended up in the Dream Kingdom. Amazing boss, amazing song, would do everything to experience it anew all over again.
i think people’s general perspective on kirby lore just being “lol he kills gods for cake” is weak shit and its way more deeper than that and this kinda proved my point lmao
ever since CROWNED first came out I thought kirby would never top itself on a final battle theme again, then came elfilis and this and jeez hal isn't slowing down

Mistilteinn: Old Norse for mistletoe, which grows on the crowns of apple trees. Also the name of Hrómundr Gripsson's sword in Hrómundar saga Gripssonar, an Icelandic legendary tale. And no guesses as to how Magalor deals the finishing blow to the Master Crown. What a specific pull for a song title.
To be fair we've already had "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit" in Forgotten Land so honestly pulling from Icelandic mythology is kind of a step down from that
I'd like to add something in context to mistletoe in relation to the Norse people In Norse mythology there's a famous myth about Loki killing Baldur (basically Norse Jesus) with an arrow made of mistletoe, the only thing that could hurt him. Now there's one thing about this, though. All surviving Norse mythology was written down AFTER the region was Christianized meaning what we have is likely influenced by Christianity. It is believed that Loki was associated with Satan and Baldur with Jesus. We simply don't know anything about this myth from before it was influenced by Christianity. Curiously however, even though it was used as a weapon against the most beloved god in the pantheon, the mistletoe plant is seen as a sign of love and peace. This just makes it more eerie when you consider the fact that a tree possessed by a demonic entity hellbent on destruction is named after a sign of love and peace.
when i was going through the epilogue i made a joking remark to my friend that the reason whispy hadn't appeared was because he was going to be in some yggdrasil form as what i thought was going to be an earth elemental boss of area 4 i nearly screamed out loud once i managed to defeat the crowned doomer about 30 minutes later
I think I just learned a great lesson and that is that when HAL creates a Kirby game they always take their Lore seriously to such an extent that things that were once non-canon find the craziest but reasonably logical way to make them canon. .. Take notes Kingdom Heart's!
They Straight up said “We are going to make the Team Kirby Clash Games Canon, Explain the origins of Gem apples and show off halcandras Destruction all in one boss fight!”
I literally played and beat this mode for the first time last month. I’m so upset I waited this long to play it, and that I waited this long to hear this incredible boss theme.
@@ProfessorHeavy1 Because we know now that pretty much everything in Kirby is Canon now. This Game proves it. But I think Magolor Mini Land plays way Post Kirby Fighters 2 probably even after Forgotten Land
Now that i think about, The wings of the Master Crown looks similiar to Daiyousei's wings from the Touhou Project series. I know that it wasn't made in purpose but i feel like this similarity.
This is likely just a coincidence but I find it kinda cool that the "E" at the end of "Epilogue" sort of looks like the letter C. If we do assume it's a C, the beginning letter is M and the ending letter is C. *Master Crown* Because the epilogue began and ended with the Master Crown...
Fun fact: When we translate ‘apple’ in Korean, the word we translated in Korean does not only mean the fruit, or a company’s name, but it also means ‘to apologize’ in verb. That means magolor collects fragments of the gem apple to redeem his sins and apologize to kirby and friends.
If we take this one step further, Magolor's ventures through the other dimensions and Defeating the final boss to return to his original world is very reminiscent of Judas traveling through Hell to cut down the tree that housed the apple of forbidden knowledge. In a sense, Magolor is Judas venturing through a hell equivalent to redeem himself and stop the root of the game's evil force from returning.
the feeling of “oh _shit_ “ i had when the boss health bar had the words “master crown” appear under it was insane, the crown being the final boss of the epilogue was one of my predictions that wasn’t the common prediction of morpho knight but i absolutely wasn’t it expecting to become a tree. i love how the wings that the crown has is similar/the same as what magolor has in his second form/soul form in his boss fights, i also liked how the crown has something like void terminas master crown attack that he uses during his flying phase!! i loved the epilogue and this was the perfect finale to it (:
*Lyrics by Juno Songs* So the weight of my sins has become a goliath The final foe before I can triumph The final bastion holding me back from bringing my heart back to light I know the world can't forgive... But it gave me this chance To finally be a hero and set things right, Shatter the master's reign I will fight so the crown can't seduce me again! I know that the darkness's design I must atone for all my crimes Resolve to use this magic of mine To fell the kingless crown! Silence the calling of the void So no more souls can be destroyed! Cut the strings that rendered me a toy And chop this tyrant down To the ground! This crown will never let this poor magic fool forget the crimes that he has perpetrated! All I can do for now is move forward, never bow again to its hatred! The darkness within my heart I must extinguish its flame And bring back the light Kirby showed me with his soul! Kirby I will come back to you, Where the spring breeze blows, Once Magolor has atoned, I hope we may be true friends again... If you will have me once more, I swear When you need me, I'll be there... HEAR ME, YOU MONSTER! YOU ARE NO MASTER OF MINE! Join my sins... BURN AND DIE!!! With the magic I have worked to recover I'll stop what I dared to begin Now my quest through space's hell is soon over I'll do anything that it takes to win! Put your dukes up, you weed! Now you tangle with me! I'm the one who rose past your corruption! No more will you extend Your roots of darkness, I'll end The Master Crown's vile conquest, I will rise once more like the sun! Heroes must stand up for what they believe I may have learned that too late, but... Learning too late will not stop me From blowing down all your leaves Cut the fruit you devoured free I alone can defeat the tree crown Without... a... KING!
Never have I expected to fight the Master Crown as a big golden tree, with a big red glaring eyeball. But it was one of the most epic bosses I think I have ever faced in a Kirby game.
See, it’s stuff like this that makes a Kirby game feel so special. They don’t have to go so hard on a final boss theme for something kiddie-looking like Kirby… and yet, here we are. Pipe organs, angelic choirs, musical connections to other games in the series, and it can have the power to sway emotions upon listening to it. I bow to Kirby’s soundtrack writers and composers. We don’t deserve such excellent musical art 0.0
If I had a nickel for every time Whispy Woods had a Yggdrasil variant, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice right?
A few years ago, when I still had a fully working 3ds, I used to live day by day. Only caring about reaching tomorrow evening, as it was the only time my parents let me play. For that reason, I seem to have forgot how much I actually played Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. And yet, the leitmotifs from that game used in this song brought the memories back immediatly. Alongside nostalgia.
Man this guy's a real BIRCH. He really fOAKs you up if you don't know what you're doin. I mean seriously why does he keep putting his roots on the stage it's like he's just ASPEN to take damage. this is a sick ass boss fight though me and the boys fighting a god-possessed tree using a magical egg catboy so that he can show up in kirby super clash and start charging me real money for digital apples
So what I like to acknowledge is that the boss fight descriptions given about this crown kind help elaborate on what it truly is It's technically dark matter but not at the same time. It gives power to the darkness in one's heart, so it gives the user it's own dark matter-esque form. (If that makes sense lol)
What I think is that the ancients used what they knew about void to make the artifacts. They based their technology and magic heavily around Void from what we see. There are other things that's not Void related like the portals that came from Elfilin but you get the idea
No it's actually void. Void is highly linked to emotions and negative ones turn void evil and destructive. The crown basically turns anyone into void. When wearing it you can too transform into an evil God from your negative emotions Further proof: tree crown uses one of marx's attacks, those attacks don't actually belong to marx though, they are shared attacks between void and all soul bosses, but since this isn't a soul boss that means it must have a direct link to void. Conclusion: the master crown was imbued with void, not dark matter, it it was dark matter it would only be evil, but as we see landia can use it for good, just like how void can be turned good through positive emotions.
Considering that Void Termina uses master crowns in the laser and sword attacks. I believe that the RtDL Master Crown is a creation of void given a will of it's own So it isnt exactly dark matter, but it acts in a similar way
pokemon song titles: "battle! character" kirby song titles: *full sentence, reference to an ancient obscure myth from the ninth century BC, at least 4 punctuation marks*
Not only that, but it fits the apple tree motif, as Eve eating the apple in The Garden of Eden was man's first sin. I cannot believe Magolor beat up the physical embodiment of sin then travelled back in time to invent capitalism.
And this is why I love this series a lot, never thought each Kirby game would have their own storyline and their original soundtrack but are still part of the series
I remember me and my nephew's exact blind reaction "Wait....what is this, what is happening..what-" My nephew: : "oh wot the-" *The tree came floating down* "What-" *absolute silence* "What....the.....fuck...is that?" My nephew: your gonna die- "WHAT IS THAT" Nephew: your gonna die- *Name reveals as the master crown* Me and my nephew: "WHAAAAAAT"
I mostly was teasing my sibling when doing this blind together as I already noticed that Whispy Woods was not in the trailers and went like 'what if' The surprise was hilarious to see a tree as finale though.
You know, while I was playing I through the epilogue I was wondering why there was no Wispy Woods variant to fight like there is with the other bosses. I guess this answers my question?

For those womdering the original sin happened in heaven and it was Lucifer

Another would argue it was Lust as Lust isn't inherently sexual. It means a ravenous passion or want for something again fitting with Magalor.
The first sin on Earth was the eating of the Fruit (Commonly depicted as an apple Although never stated what fruit it is) of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. The evil part came from Lucifer who some believe was trapped in the tree as punishment for his rebellion. Just as the crown being the knowledge of evil imprisoned itself in the apple tree

Gives similar vibes of when Kirby fights a final boss and it has Kirby’s triumphant return in the boss theme
not only that but it also has heroic version of his own theme, Magolor, the Distant Traveler.
he really is turning a new leaf here.
@@maybeher0 haha leaf
Yep, and now he scammers people in a different dimension
In Norse Mythology, Baldr, the god of light, was unkillable, because everything had made a vow to never harm him. However, there was one lone exception, the mistletoe plant. Loki, being the trickster god he is, arranged Baldr's death by mistletoe.
Depending on the version of the story, the killing weapon is instead a _sword_ named mistletoe - or in the original Norse, "Mistilteinn". Also depending on the story, this sword is sometimes found within the underworld, Helheim, on account of being so apparently wicked.
So here, the story of little trickster goofball Magolor, traversing the underworld looking for a way home, makes a few choice allusions to Norse Mythology.
The mistletoe is also a parasite that grows in the canopy of trees, and in several (if not all?) Scandinavian languages the word for canopy translates roughly to "tree crown".
Additionally, in some versions of the Death of Baldr myth, the reason why the mistletoe can harm Baldr is because of a loophole in the vow. Everything that had touched the earth vowed not to harm Baldr, but because the mistletoe grows in trees it has never touched the earth.
We need a step by step description
I remember it being an arrow tipped by mistletoe.

He is my favorite Kirby composer for a reason!

magolor is still the one that sold them, the tree did nothing wrong
This just shows why those microtransactions happened, and how many people it got to (me included for both Clashes, L).
The weirdest bit of lore this fight brings is that both *Mistilteinn and Void Termina* share the same attack. The attack where they shoot an array of lazers are both refer to the Master Crown of 'Crown of Hatred and Obsession'. It also suggests that there could be multiple crowns in existence since Void Termina has the power to summon some.
Whether the crowns are just objects containing extreme negative power, are containing dark matter or are their own entity on themselves is not known.
It should be pointed out that even the bases of Void Termina's weapons resemble the Master Crown. Personally I think its true nature is a mere extension of Void Termina's infinite power.
I'm pretty sure every Kirby final boss has some move or detail that links back to Void Terminal. Even Necrodeus, the most obscure Kirby antagonist shares his giant laser beam with Void.
Well all barring dedede, anyway.
@@sammoore2082 I don't mean share an attack as in they both do the same attack, I mean in-game they are refered to by the same name. The name connects the two.

@@tangerino3199 fair
0:49 i CANT stop hearing “NEW WORLD!!!!” From this part
New lore we got from this game (warning: pretty long) :
*Magolor isn't actually from Halcandra + Magolor learned of the ancients and their creations from a dusty tome he found while traveling through Halcandra, initially believing it to be a fairytale. That last part makes me think the book was the book of legend that Hyness's clan wrote before he and his religion got it... Regardless, it was definitely written by the ancients themselves.
*The Master Crown does give its wearer infinite power, but in exchange for slowly devouring their soul and amplifying the darkness in their heart and turning it into hatred. Also, the Master Crown has been used by other people for their own nefarious deeds in the past. It also apparently absorbs their negative emotions.
*The Doomers, way back when, had a different form where they could warp space and time.
*Metal General was used by (presumably) the ancients as a security guard and a weapon to exterminate enemies on other planets.
*Both Kirby Clash games are canon, and simply take place in an alternate universe. The Magolor we see in the Kirby Clash games is actually our Magolor who ended up there after the events of Magolor Epilogue. He would eventually somehow return to the main universe in Kirby's Dream Collection. This also means Galacta Knight retroactively made his first canon appearance in the Kirby Clash games.
*The Gem Apples in the Kirby Clash games originate from the giant Gem Apple that Magolor was reassembling the pieces of in order to restore himself in Magolor Epilogue. After the Master Crown fused with it and was defeated, Magolor was left with a single small Gem Apple. When he arrived in the Dream Kingdom, he planted the Gem Apple, which would grow into the Gem Apple Tree. The Dream Kingdom would then use Gem Apples as a currency.
*Speculative Theory: in the battle with the Master Crown, we see an apocalyptic city (I think it might be Egg Engines?) as the background. Since we know the Master Crown is sentient + has had past users, I think it is showing a past memory, where it was used by someone to rain down destruction on Halcandra, which might explain why it looks like the way it does now.
God, the way they finish this all up with this battle is truly masterful. The Master Crown doesn't even look like it belongs in a Kirby game, yet does at the same time. I can't wait to see what they have next in store.
!!Edit: Okay, so there is some lore that that was left out of the English localization. I'll list them below as I find the Japanese pause descriptions (which is surprisingly hard)
*Landia is not only a dragon, but a guardian deity. That means Landia is of some kind of divine status, though I suppose one would be able to tell from his English title of Guardian Angel.
*The Japanese description kinda confirms that the Master Crown is basically a world destroyer, stating that it has "traveled through many worlds and lands," probabaly corrupting its victims in the worlds and influencing them to destroy them. Wtf were the ancients thinking when they made this thing lmao
Where did ya got Magolor's backstory from? But yeah during the battle we see Egg Engine's buildings, so this is it showing how Halcandra was destroyed
@@segafan1316 It mentions the book in Magolor EX's pause description, and Magolor says he's not from Halcandra when talking to him in Extra Mode after collecting all Energy Spheres.
I see, thanks! This is all really interesting lore drops. I hope they expand on it sooner rather than later
@@segafan1316 So Halcandra got desecrated by one of its creations... but then got subdued by the guardian Landia? Interesting on why Landia didn't want to give up the crown... not because of knowing Magolor is wanting its dark power, but because it seen the full force of the nightmarish artifact
@@friendlybendy2070 my main guess that the landia we fough in the extra mode is a landia who didn't expirience onward the events of the fight this or it was just too overconfident that this time it will win it have a good heart but my belive they were a bit of thought that this time they can win and stop because they know they are the only one who able to hold the crown with little problems and they can't either destroy it and give up on it or leave it will still give a higher chance to mag or anyone to get their hands on it
The craziest thing about this is this has been canon for years. Kumazaki mentioned in a really obscure 2017 Nintendo DREAM interview is that Shopkeeper Magolor is the same one from the mainline games.
What that’s actually so insane
I like to imagine he said this, and then later realized “Hey, I just had a good idea for a side mode in a return to dreamland remake. You get to play as magolor after the events of RTDL, and see the events that led to him appearing in the Kirby Clash games.”
@@Glitchyy07 Makes sense, but I still find it curious that he would specifically decide Shopkeeper Magolor was "our" Magolor from the get-go.
The easiest answer by far would've been that Shopkeeper Magolor was an alternate counterpart, like everyone else in that game. Kumazaki going for a more convoluted explanation makes me think he was deliberately trying to set something up.

Mistilteinn: Old Norse for mistletoe, which grows on the crowns of apple trees.
Also the name of Hrómundr Gripsson's sword in Hrómundar saga Gripssonar, an Icelandic legendary tale. And no guesses as to how Magalor deals the finishing blow to the Master Crown.
What a specific pull for a song title.
Another thing:
Mistletoes are basically parasitic by stealing nutriens from their host tree
To be fair we've already had "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit" in Forgotten Land so honestly pulling from Icelandic mythology is kind of a step down from that
I'd like to add something in context to mistletoe in relation to the Norse people
In Norse mythology there's a famous myth about Loki killing Baldur (basically Norse Jesus) with an arrow made of mistletoe, the only thing that could hurt him. Now there's one thing about this, though. All surviving Norse mythology was written down AFTER the region was Christianized meaning what we have is likely influenced by Christianity. It is believed that Loki was associated with Satan and Baldur with Jesus. We simply don't know anything about this myth from before it was influenced by Christianity.
Curiously however, even though it was used as a weapon against the most beloved god in the pantheon, the mistletoe plant is seen as a sign of love and peace. This just makes it more eerie when you consider the fact that a tree possessed by a demonic entity hellbent on destruction is named after a sign of love and peace.

If we take this one step further, Magolor's ventures through the other dimensions and Defeating the final boss to return to his original world is very reminiscent of Judas traveling through Hell to cut down the tree that housed the apple of forbidden knowledge.
In a sense, Magolor is Judas venturing through a hell equivalent to redeem himself and stop the root of the game's evil force from returning.
The fact that it takes a moment to show focus to the destruction in the background before it reveals the final boss is 😩🙌🏽 story telling perfection
the feeling of “oh _shit_ “ i had when the boss health bar had the words “master crown” appear under it was insane, the crown being the final boss of the epilogue was one of my predictions that wasn’t the common prediction of morpho knight but i absolutely wasn’t it expecting to become a tree. i love how the wings that the crown has is similar/the same as what magolor has in his second form/soul form in his boss fights, i also liked how the crown has something like void terminas master crown attack that he uses during his flying phase!! i loved the epilogue and this was the perfect finale to it (:

I know that the darkness's design
I must atone for all my crimes
Resolve to use this magic of mine
To fell the kingless crown!
Silence the calling of the void
So no more souls can be destroyed!
Cut the strings that rendered me a toy
And chop this tyrant down
To the ground!
This crown will never let this poor magic fool forget the crimes that he has perpetrated!
All I can do for now is move forward, never bow again to its hatred!
The darkness within my heart
I must extinguish its flame
And bring back the light
Kirby showed me with his soul!
Kirby I will come back to you,
Where the spring breeze blows,
Once Magolor has atoned,
I hope we may be true friends again...
If you will have me once more, I swear
When you need me, I'll be there...
HEAR ME, YOU MONSTER!
YOU ARE NO MASTER OF MINE!
Join my sins... BURN AND DIE!!!
With the magic I have worked to recover
I'll stop what I dared to begin
Now my quest through space's hell is soon over
I'll do anything that it takes to win!
Put your dukes up, you weed!
Now you tangle with me!
I'm the one who rose past your corruption!
No more will you extend
Your roots of darkness, I'll end
The Master Crown's vile conquest, I will rise once more like the sun!
Heroes must stand up for what they believe
I may have learned that too late, but...
Learning too late will not stop me
From blowing down all your leaves
Cut the fruit you devoured free
I alone can defeat the tree crown
Without... a... KING!
(I already did the lyrics from Settling a score: Atone for one misdeeds)
It's no woodchipper...
But it'll have to do...
@@cecilcoelho Magolor : Alright, you Tyrannical Tiara! It's time to cut you down to size!
@@lucasjung5903 I already did the lyrics in the original song
@@cecilcoelho I know, but I actually put it there, just for the quote.
@@lucasjung5903 oh ok then
It wouldn't be a modern 2D Kirby tree boss if it didn't crash in from the foreground, making the area feel incredibly cramped.
“Tree Crown without a Ruler”
Reminds me of “Intermezzo without a Leader”
Kirby: kills whispy woods
Master tree: So, you have chosen DEATH
When the trees strike back against deforestation:
I loved when Magolor said "its Swordin time" and sworded all over the Master Crown
Holy shoot a Sphere Doomer account
That is in fact what happened
@@Zolerian Well, we are in Another Dimension. I hear their reception is fantastic.
How many of your brothers and sisters did Magolor and Kirby kill in cold blood and will you do anything about it?
@@Skyfire-qu7nt let's just say magolor has about 5 days left to live
Never have I expected to fight the Master Crown as a big golden tree, with a big red glaring eyeball. But it was one of the most epic bosses I think I have ever faced in a Kirby game.
Were getting fucking bible lore in a Kirby game and Im down for it
First Galacta Knight in Super Star Ultra, now the Master Crown itself in Return Deluxe.
I love this franchise.
I love how they handle remakes in this franchise =)
Can’t wait for the next remake
@@The_Shimp
Kirby Triple Deluxe Deluxe
@@nicolassanchez3047 even Extra Epic Yarn?
@@cobaltordinaire5219 I never played that one. But from what I've heard / seen, it's also a nice remake
"vs master crown"
( Aka mistilteinn, the tree crown without a ruler! )
oh wow alright, so Magolor can get the Final Boss treatment too when he is the protag, this is POGGERS
Honestly this design is one of the final boss ones that goes the hardest imo LOL
THE GEM APPLES ARE MADE OF MY SINS-
Damn Wispy Woods really had a glowup in this game.
never before would i have thought that i would be alive to see the day where whispy wood is the final boss of an kirby game.
It's funny how kirby games start all cute with you fighting a tree and end as the universe itself is about to collapse with you fighting a tree
Not surprised since a fair chunk of HAL’s staff also worked on the Mother series.
@@L33TRedNinjawait really? That’s awesome
@@Glitchyy07 Yup. It’s true. I double checked.
@@Glitchyy07 Something I forgot to mention is that some of them also worked on Pokémon.
@@L33TRedNinja that’s very cool ngl
Let's say you come accros an evil tree
Yeah I don't think that kid is surviving this one...
You again?!
By himself, Magolor would be in trouble!
But if there where capitalism within him,
Ref at mass attack of kirby game!
Kirby kills Gods for cake.
Magolor kills Gods for microtransactions.
Hey, remember that one time where microtransactions?
*that’s part of the lore now.*
See, it’s stuff like this that makes a Kirby game feel so special. They don’t have to go so hard on a final boss theme for something kiddie-looking like Kirby… and yet, here we are.
Pipe organs, angelic choirs, musical connections to other games in the series, and it can have the power to sway emotions upon listening to it.
I bow to Kirby’s soundtrack writers and composers. We don’t deserve such excellent musical art 0.0
AND HERE WE ARE
AND HERE WE ARE!!
@@majinhottuna Welcome, visitors !
@@The94Venom Wrong game! ...but... initiating facility navigation protocol!
AND yet, HERE WE ARE
The only thing that could make this fight more menacing is a "And here we are!"
If I had a nickel for every time Whispy Woods had a Yggdrasil variant, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice right?
I'm assuming the other one is Yggy Woods, given the name.
@@remnantofthefirstworld2930 I'd assume so, yeah.
*Stares in Disbelief*
How the F**K DO THEY KEEP TOPPING THEMSELVES!?!?
Magolor is kinda like the Once-ler from The Lorax.
Kill trees, embrace capitalism.
*He can never truly be the Once-ler until people start shipping his normal form with his soul form.*
And in the end replants trees
@@bubblecoffee7210 so he's the once-ler before/after the once-ler?
@@bubblecoffee7210and then make up a hundred more magolors and *make them date each other*
The perfect song for confronting the living embodiment of Catholic Guilt.
I find it funny how the fight plays out exactly like I'd imagine a wispy soul would play out
A few years ago, when I still had a fully working 3ds, I used to live day by day. Only caring about reaching tomorrow evening, as it was the only time my parents let me play. For that reason, I seem to have forgot how much I actually played Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. And yet, the leitmotifs from that game used in this song brought the memories back immediatly. Alongside nostalgia.
Man this guy's a real BIRCH. He really fOAKs you up if you don't know what you're doin. I mean seriously why does he keep putting his roots on the stage it's like he's just ASPEN to take damage.
this is a sick ass boss fight though me and the boys fighting a god-possessed tree using a magical egg catboy so that he can show up in kirby super clash and start charging me real money for digital apples
So what I like to acknowledge is that the boss fight descriptions given about this crown kind help elaborate on what it truly is
It's technically dark matter but not at the same time. It gives power to the darkness in one's heart, so it gives the user it's own dark matter-esque form. (If that makes sense lol)
That explains the similarities between magolor soul and dark matter
essentially a catalyst of dark matter void somehow created with the ancients at halcandra perfecting it
What I think is that the ancients used what they knew about void to make the artifacts. They based their technology and magic heavily around Void from what we see. There are other things that's not Void related like the portals that came from Elfilin but you get the idea
No it's actually void. Void is highly linked to emotions and negative ones turn void evil and destructive. The crown basically turns anyone into void. When wearing it you can too transform into an evil God from your negative emotions
Further proof: tree crown uses one of marx's attacks, those attacks don't actually belong to marx though, they are shared attacks between void and all soul bosses, but since this isn't a soul boss that means it must have a direct link to void.
Conclusion: the master crown was imbued with void, not dark matter, it it was dark matter it would only be evil, but as we see landia can use it for good, just like how void can be turned good through positive emotions.
Considering that Void Termina uses master crowns in the laser and sword attacks. I believe that the RtDL Master Crown is a creation of void given a will of it's own
So it isnt exactly dark matter, but it acts in a similar way
Love the intro going from awe at this nature giant, to horror when you see the crown possessing it, to determination to defeat it.

Who took the Tree Crown's ruler?
It needs it to measure things.
The beginning is perfect. Sounds so holy and angelic, and as the final boss comes into full view twists into horrifyingly demonic. Just perfect.
It perfectly re-encapsulates the same vibe the beginning of CROWNED gave me
Not only that, but it fits the apple tree motif, as Eve eating the apple in The Garden of Eden was man's first sin. I cannot believe Magolor beat up the physical embodiment of sin then travelled back in time to invent capitalism.
Kirby final bosses really love starting their music off with bells, stringed instruments and a choir. And I'm really all here for it.
If you fight the boss correctly everything they do will match the music.
And this is why I love this series a lot, never thought each Kirby game would have their own storyline and their original soundtrack but are still part of the series
Who'd ever thought you could turn the Town theme from Super Kirby Clash into something sinister?
That’s HAL for ya.
could say the same thing for Void’s green greens
@@tangelaspaghetti5174 Void is probably this boss but tree form and is after Magolor
I guess to be fair, the town theme is already remixed in Clash's Ordeal themes (which you even hear in the 2:37 mark) but GOD yeah it's so foreboding
Void’s Green Greens is more melancholic than sinister
THE AIR CRACKLES WITH FREEDOM
I remember me and my nephew's exact blind reaction
"Wait....what is this, what is happening..what-"
My nephew: : "oh wot the-"
*The tree came floating down*
"What-" *absolute silence*
"What....the.....fuck...is that?"
My nephew: your gonna die- "WHAT IS THAT"
Nephew: your gonna die-
*Name reveals as the master crown*
Me and my nephew: "WHAAAAAAT"
I mostly was teasing my sibling when doing this blind together as I already noticed that Whispy Woods was not in the trailers and went like 'what if'
The surprise was hilarious to see a tree as finale though.
@@casualkris4806 “watch the final boss be Whispy”
_2 milliseconds later_
It’s a masterpiece.
After all these years, a tree finally managed to become the final boss.
Truly beatyful
You know, while I was playing I through the epilogue I was wondering why there was no Wispy Woods variant to fight like there is with the other bosses. I guess this answers my question?
whispy woods got a huge promotion in this mode going from the first boss to the last one
Yggdrasil Woods
