Dark Meta Knight, Daroach And Adeleine & Ribbon Are Now Available In Kirby Star Allies

Wait, there's a "Dark" Meta Knight? As if he wasn't the essential edgy character already...

Ohhhh bring that costume to smashbros! Love it.

I wish HAL spent more time on level design than characters. Star Allies is the weakest of the modern Kirby games imo, and a big disappointment after Robobot.

Nice, but I just can't see getting back into this game. This was my first Kirby game and I was somewhat disappointed. Great graphics and characters but super simple & imo there's just nothing that makes me want to go back and play again, even new characters.

I played the demo and feels like you are doing nothing with all the cpu characters around. I understand it can be found while co-op but even there you have cpu allies. Can’t you play this as a regular platformer? Looks amazing.

Dark Meta Knight is super fun to play as, love how they incorporated a bit of the Mirror ability into his moveset as Mirror is my favourite one.

@Francema Mostly, yes. In single or multiplayer you can simply "unfriend" any unnecesary partners. There will be times where you'll need a full part of 4 or a specific ability though. So sometimes you won't have a choice.once you pass those sections though, you can again unfriend everyone and play solo or with other human players.

The partners really don't get in your way too much though. Once you know what you're doing, you should be able to react MUCH faster than the partner characters ever would.

My wife and I had a lot pf fun with the game. Beat every mode and it took about 20 hours. There's a lot more you could dp even after that point, but it's mostly high score repetitive stuff and the actual game has little replay value. I thought it was well worth the $60 for 20 hours of play though.

Susie from Planet Robobot should make an appearance. That would be cool.

The Daroach playthrough put the biggest smile on my face. The last food item before the Zan Partizanne/Hyness/Morpho Knight fight was the icing on the cake (pun intended)!

@RupeeClock I never personally liked DMK's inclusion in Triple Deluxe. It seemed too out-of-the-blue and somewhat contradictory to me.

@-DG Thanka, lots of valuable information!! The game looks fantastic. Hope a new Mario platformer came out looking at this level of quality.

@-DG Also, sounds so goo that will wait for an unlikely sale. Thanks!

@LegendOfPokemon Actually in this new update the Dream friends have a ton of new stages in the Guest Star Mode. And they even updated it so that the generic Guest Characters even have more unique stages. I have been playing through Adeline's story mode and almost 70% of the stages are new. With the Exception of Boss's. But if they updated the game to give every gueststar character a more unique story mode, then there's a chance for the next batch of DLC characters to add more boss's and such.

@shonenjump86 the DLC character list dropped a while back and she should be in the next batch of DLC. Only question is, will she be riding the Robobot suit

@NerdyBoutKirby Kirby Lore is very subtle, but there is a youtube channel that covers the Kirby lore from every game and how they all connect and it explains Dark MetaKnights appearance in Triple Deluxe.

@Francema Ya its a pretty easy game, but if you want a real challenge then go through Boss Rush mode. It can get incredibly difficult, even with allies helping you.

@BradC40 Understandable. Although the new character do have more unique storymodes this time around. About 70% of the Dream Friends Guest Star modes have been changed with new stages. So its fine for those who already beat the game and want a newer experience.

@patbacknitro18 I understand it perfectly well--I'm one of the admins on Kirby Wiki, so I did a lot of research on this topic around 2014-2015. I'm just not fond of what KTD did with the KatAM source material.

@patbacknitro18 Cool, I’ll try out the new stages then.

@RupeeClock I'm aware. The problem for me is that I'm aware of the meta reasoning behind DMK's inclusion in Triple Deluxe--It's fanservice first, purpose second. Shinya Kumazaki wanted to put a twist final boss in Dededetour (something he does frequently with Extra Modes) and use a character fans would recognize and adore. Kumazaki seems to like Amazing Mirror above a lot of other Kirby games, so he chose that one. After that, he had to find an excuse to fit it into the game, and I find his conclusion pretty wonky.

-Taranza stole the Dimension Mirror from the Mirror World and gave it to Sectonia; gazing into it too much turned her evil and changed her from a spider into a wasp. (Can the gazing into the mirror affect a person in that way? That's too strange for me to swallow.)
-Dedede goes in and destroys Dark Meta Knight and the Dimension Mirror. (But Triple Deluxe takes place before KatAM, so what the heck?)
-By the time KatAM rolls around, the Dimension Mirror is hanging in the Mirror World and Dark Meta Knight is alive and kicking. (Does that mean someone took the previously-destroyed Dimension Mirror and just gave it back to the Mirror World off-screen? And how come DMK's back?)

And then two years later, all of it was confirmed to be non-canon so no continuity-critics can complain. To top it all off, it won't make a lick of sense to a new player who hasn't played KatAM as well as read the KTD Miiverse messages. The whole thing reeks of nostalgia-pandering with weird justification used to support it, and I generally don't applaud nostalgia for nostalgia's sake.

@patbacknitro18 Thanks, I thought I was missing something by just using the demo. I got sold by its graphics but del like something was wrong. I am not huge fan of Kirby, more Yoshi type of gamer.

@patbacknitro18 oh, dang. I didn’t know about that. Thanks for the heads up.

@shonenjump86 No problem, i'm just excited to get a Robobot character next. I think its Her, Magolor, and 1 other character for the next batch of dlc characters. I forgot who the 3rd one was, but it might be the 3 mage sisters from Kirby Star Allies

@Francema No problem! I definitely recommend the game especially if you have at least one other person to play with.

Nice additions.
