Kirby General Discussion Thread

Also, turns out I was mistaken. The Sound Test in NiDL is unlocked from the start and all the songs and sounds are available right from the start. It was only in KA where you had to beat Extra Mode to unlock the Sound Test.

@Jarkes
 
That was what I liked and didn’t like about Kirby’s Adventure…Doing 100% with no saving…
 
NES games really pushed you to your limits back then.

@Dirty Bit
 
At least it was only Extra Mode that did that in KA…

@Jarkes
 
Well, there was also the original Kirby’s Dreamland. That is, unless you knew the code to the Sound Test by heart.

I’m trying to find a video showing the Planet Robobot True Arena beaten with Poison, but even typing “kirby planet robobot true arena poison” doesn’t give me any results that say in the title that it uses Poison, just a bunch of other abilities and “no damage” runs (something I don’t care about). And if any of the results I am getting have that, I can’t tell. And I don’t want to just click each video until I find the one I want.
 
Anyone have any links?

@Jarkes
 
No dice. Although, I can tell you that it’s all in the smog and Toxic Tower. Slime Dash is your friend because of its invincibility frames.
 
All in all, I got through with Poison in about 27-30 minutes.
 
There was this one video of a True Arena Hammer run with this guy pulling a ‘Wtf’ after beating it…

I’ve mentioned this before in this thread, but I’d love to see a Kirby RPG. Though I do wonder how Copy Abilities would work for that…

@Jarkes
 
Too bad the closest thing we’ve got to a Kirby RPG at present is Team Kirby Clash. Maybe they could build off of that to make an actual Kirby RPG.

I have now beaten the main story mode and Meta Knightmare Returns in Planet Robobot on two separate files, along with clearing The Arena, 3D Kirby Rumble, and Team Kirby Clash on both files…
 
And I still cannot beat the game’s True Arena. I always die at either the Dedede Clone & D3 fight or the Dark Matter Clone/Sectonia Clone fight. I can only imagine how much of a pain Star Dream Soul OS is going to be…

@Jarkes
 
Every day it gets a little easier. You just need to find the power that suits you. As I said earlier, just try going with Poison, if possible.

@Dirty Bit
 
I’ve tried Poison several times already. I thought about using Archer, but considering several of the bosses have circular arenas that the arrows don’t fully travel across even when charged up, I doubt that’ll work (not to mention, Archer’s hiding move won’t protect against Star Dream Soul OS’s one-hit KO lasers).

@Jarkes
 
The lasers are easy to dodge, unless you’re referring to the dreaded ‘Error’ message at the final phase of OS.
 
…Or if you’re referring to the heart. Then it’s all about getting in the middle when the timing’s right.
 
My only advice would be to look up the videos with runs such as Hammer, ESP, Ice, and Doctor, and see which one you favor most. You don’t have to watch the whole thing; merely size up the power’s potential from there.
 
Although, I tried all four and sucked miserably XD Poison’s my only friend in True Arena. Definitely a good thing my Ganondorf amiibo gives me the Poison ability…

@Dirty Bit
 
I’m referring to the heart.
 
And is Doctor really all that powerful? I know you can’t exactly rely on its rare healing move (it’s probably even programmed to NEVER happen in the Arena and True Arena), and I figured its low attack power in Team Kirby Clash reflected its attack power in the main game, since I never really used it all that much, not even against any bosses.

@Jarkes
 
Believe it or not, some guy finished True Arena in like 16 minutes with Doctor. I saw this before thinking that Doctor was the last ability I’d want for the run myself. I can fetch a link if you’re interested.
 
Yeah, Team Kirby Clash is an entirely different situation altogether. An entire team of them doesn’t cut it, let alone an entire team of warriors.

@Dirty Bit
 
…We’re like the only two people participating in this thread. That… disappoints me a little.

@Jarkes
 
Yeah, it sucks. You’d think there would be more participation in this particular thread, but what can you do?

I just searched for Kirby in the forum posts just recently… haha XD

@Marx
 
Welcome to another dead thread, then :U
 
Now that you’re here, what are your thoughts on Planet Robobot?

I think it looks amazing o3o . Though naturally I’ll be dreading the True arena when I get my hands on it.
 
Esp and the Robobot Armour give me life.
 
You guys ever play Air Ride? :>  
I’m also working on some Ocs inspired by The air ride machines

@Marx
 
Ugh…I’m sorry, but I don’t. That game in particular hates me…
 
I prefer Mic Armor, myself, but ESP Armor is also cool.

@Dirty Bit  
That’s alright XD
 
Really love the work that went into the game and the especially the soundtrack. Lemotif FTW

@Marx
 
Air Ride was one of my favorites.

Wish more games would do something similar to City Trial like Smash Run

@Marx
 
Agreed.

I’ve actually been thinking of starting a new game on Return to Dream Land. It’s been a long time since I’ve played the game. I’m gonna keep my file that has 100% cleared of both Normal and Extra Mode, though, and I’ll eventually use that file to do the True Arena instead of the new file I’m going to do.
