Kirby: Planet Robobot



A 2016 videogame about a pink blob and his quest to destroy robotic alien invaders.

The planet Popstar has been invaded by some kind of mechanical alien force. King Dedede and Meta Knight try in vain to stop them. Kirby, asleep during the initial invasion, wakes up, notices the alien invasion and decides to take care of business, kicking a lot of robot(and cyborg) ass in the way.

 * Action Bomb: The Robobot Armour Bomb Mode spits out living robot bombs.
 * Boss-Only Level: Where the main bosses(in other worlds, the bosses at the end of each world) are fought.
 * Color-Coded for Your Convenience: Between other little aspects, the Robobot Armour also changes colour when changing modes. It's also notable it turns pink like its pilot Kirby when it was grey when piloted by an invader.
 * Deadly Doctor: The Doctor ability, aside of giving a new cute doctor uniform for Kirby, also gives him the ability to attack with...pills. And clipboards. In the case of the pills, we can only assume it's a dose that will kill you.
 * Eternal Engine: Considering the robotic nature of the game, several levels are like this, though with the extra aspect that natural environments of Popstar have been mechanized.
 * Goggles Do Nothing: When Kirby takes over the Robobot Armour, he gains a hat with goggles on it...And he never wears the goggles.
 * Mecha-Mooks: Not all of the enemies but many of them, and that's why the non-robot enemies are cyborgs.
 * Mini-Mecha: The Robobot Armour isn't much taller than Kirby, though clearly wider, and many bosses are bigger than her.
 * Planet Looters: The antagonists are actively drilling Popstar to extract resources with colossal drills.
 * Power Copying: Not only Kirby, but also the mini-mecha he pilots, through some kind of enemy scanning process that changes its appearance and weapon.
