Line 26:
** And it gets [[Up to Eleven|even bigger]] when {{spoiler|Kirby delivers the final blow to Magolor's first form}}.
* [[Bigfoot Sasquatch and Yeti]]: Goriath appears to be a Yeti.
* [[Blade Lock]]: {{spoiler|Kirby delivers the final blow with his Ultra Sword to Magolor's first [[One -Winged Angel]] after the two do this.}}
* [[Blade On a Stick]]: Bandana Dee wields one to attack with.
* [[Blackout Basement]]: Several areas have you traverse through a dark room, with lit candles to help you out ([[Improbable Weapon|not only as a light source]]).
Line 38:
** The UFO enemy appears to reward Kirby during end-of-level bonus games, despite UFO being absent from the game.
* [[Cool Crown]]: {{spoiler|The Master Crown that Magolor wants to rule the universe with. He says that it is a source of infinite power.}}
* [[Color -Coded Multiplayer]]: If having your multiplayer partners as characters with predetermined abilities just isn't your thing, then [http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6087/6076607109_67cc9b26ce_o.jpg here you go].
* [[Continuity Nod]] / [[Call Back]]: ''Loads'', mostly to [[Kirby Super Star]] and its remake. In this installment of the series, the developers have referenced nearly ''everything'' [[Kirby]]-related. Now has its [[Continuity Nod/Kirbys Return to Dream Land|own page]].
* [[Cut Song]]: Subverted. The cancelled Kirby GCN's trailer music can be heard in the game as the Arena theme.
Line 50:
* [[Dummied Out]]: There is data in the game for a Cutter super ability hat, but it was never used.
* [[Edible Theme Naming]]: Each of the levels.
* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: The Sphere Doomers have this vibe to them. {{spoiler|Magolor's second [[One -Winged Angel]] definitely counts}}.
* [[Enemy Mine]]: King Dedede ([[Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards (Video Game)|again]]), Meta Knight ([[Kirby and The Amazing Mirror|again]]), and [[Sixth Ranger|Bandana Dee]] are helping Kirby on his quest.
** Partially averted with Dedede, as he was never ''really'' evil, just sometimes mischievous, or more often, [[Brainwashed and Crazy|possessed by Dark Matter]]. [[Face Heel Revolving Door|And no one's really sure what side Meta Knight is on.]]
* [[EverythingsEverything's Better With Spinning]]: Abilities that make use of weapons can often let Kirby spin them. In particular, the Sword can now do as [[The Legend of Zelda|Spin Attack]] and the spear can be spun around like a helicopter blade, making Kirby fly upward and hit enemies in the way.
* [[Evil All Along]]: {{spoiler|Magolor, who executed a [[Batman Gambit]] to get Kirby and the crew to beat Landia and take the Master Crown so he could take over the universe.}}
* [[Evil Makeover]]: {{spoiler|The Lor Starcutter gets one when Magolor powers it up to face Kirby and the others while riding on Landia.}}
Line 60:
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]: Kirby was already a [[Big Eater]], but now he can inhale other players, even (for the [[Super Smash Bros|second time]]) ''King Dedede'', to spit out more powerful stars.
* {{spoiler|[[Final Boss New Dimension]]: Kirby and his crew give chase to Magolor in Another Dimension while riding on the parts of Landia and eventually fight Magolor there.}}
* [[Five -Man Band]]:
** [[The Hero]]: Kirby
** [[The Lancer]]: Meta Knight
Line 66:
** [[The Smart Guy]]: Magolor
** [[The Chick]]: Bandana Waddle Dee
* [[Fire, Ice, Lightning]]: The elemental variations of Sphere Doomers represent Fire, Spark, and Ice.
** The three elemental Super Abilities are Monster Flame, Flare Beam, and Snow Bowl.
* [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]
** Kirby is sanguine.
** King Dedede is choleric.
Line 89:
* [[King Mook]]: Several of the minibosses are these, for example, King Doo (a large, yellow Waddle Doo), Water Galboros (a large Water Galbo), and Kibble Blade (a Sir Kibble with a more knight-like helmet).
** And later, the boss of {{spoiler|Nutty Noon is the "Grand Doomer", a mega Sphere Doomer guarding the last Lor part.}}
* [[Infinity Plus One+1 Sword]]: The Super Abilities.
* [[Infinity Minus One-1 Sword]]: The [[Game Breaker]] Copy Abilities, such as [[Blow You Away|Tornado]].
* [[Interface Screw]]: {{spoiler|1=White Sphere Doomer EXs and Magolor EX/Soul have the ability to flip the screen upside-down during battle.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Interface Spoiler]]: "Gee, I beat Stage 5-5 and I DON'T have all the Energy Spheres yet?"}}
** {{spoiler|Also the fact that the overworld screen specifically has a spot reserved telling you you're on Planet Pop Star. Pretty much a given considering Magolor even said he'd take you to visit his planet after fixing the ship.}}
* {{spoiler|[[Jaw Drop]] / [[Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises]]: King Dedede becomes like this when Magolor goes [[One -Winged Angel]] for the first time after putting on the Master Crown}}.
* [[Sean Connery Is About to Shoot You|Kirby Is About to Stab You]]: You can tell [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]] when he has his [[BFS]] aimed right in the face of anyone looking at the (American) cover.
* [[Let's Play]]: By [[Medibot]], going solo {{spoiler|1=until midway into the first level, where he is joined by MyNameIsKaz and even later into the level, [[Pokecapn]].}}
Line 100:
* [[Limit Break]]: Large, glowing enemies, which when consumed will give Kirby larger, more destructive versions of their normal powers. (i.e., Sword becomes Ultra Sword, Fire becomes Monster Flame.) Ultra Sword Kirby cuts massive ropes with his [[BFS]], and Monster Flame can use a [[Wreathed in Flames|dragon]] to burn down trees.
* [[Make My Monster Grow]]: Whispy, Mr. Dooter, and Fatty Puffer grow in size when they [[Turns Red|turn red]].
* [[Market -Based Title]]: The game is called ''Kirby's Adventure Wii'' in PAL countries. The title used here is the North American one.
* [[Medley]]: The first miniboss theme (this one is used for miniboss battles {{spoiler|on Pop Star}}) is a medley of the Egg Catcher/Arena and Boss themes from ''Kirby's Adventure''. The second one (this one is used for miniboss battles {{spoiler|on Planet Halcandra}}) is based on the miniboss theme from ''Kirby 64'', which was also previously used for battles with Meta Knight's troops in ''Nightmare in Dream Land'', as well as ''Kirby 64'''s boss theme.
** The music used for {{spoiler|the Item Challenge and secret HAL rooms}} is a medley of various versions of Green Greens.
Line 111:
** [[Drop the Hammer]]: Hammer Kirby.
** [[Feather Flechettes]]: Wing Kirby.
** [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja]] / [[Katanas Are Just Better]]: Ninja Kirby.
** [[Joke Weapon]]: Sleep Kirby.
** [[Kamehame Hadouken]]: Fighter Kirby.
Line 137:
** [[Sphere of Destruction]]: Flare Beam Kirby, who can create an orb of energy that can be remotely controlled.
* {{spoiler|[[Mordor]]: Apparently, Planet Halcandra is this.}}
* [[New Game Plus]]: Beating the game once unlocks Extra Mode (a throwback to the original ''[[Kirby|Kirby's Dream Land]]''), where your [[Life Meter]] is reduced by a third, the enemies now come in various sizes, [[Super Mario Bros 2 (Video Game)|Phanto]]esque foes are now added to ''every'' area with a key, and the bosses are harder. {{spoiler|Also, Magolor's [[One -Winged Angel]] form is now more powerful than ever, especially when you finally encounter Magolor Soul.}}
* [[Nice Hat]]: A staple in the Kirby series. It should be noted that the Bomb, Stone, and Ninja abilities have brand new hats, the Fighter, Ice, and Mike abilities have extra features added to their hats, and the Crash ability has now gained a hat.
* [[Nintendo Hard]]
Line 146:
* [[No OSHA Compliance]]: The [[Eternal Engine]] levels of Egg Engines are dangerous enough to give the factory level of [[Kirby 64]] a run for its money.
* [[Notice This]]: Objects that can be destroyed with a Super Ability are marked with glowing stars. The enemies that give the abilities themselves glow brightly and the first time per level they spawn, the camera zooms in on them.
* [[One -Winged Angel]]: {{spoiler|Magolor, once he picks up the Master Crown, and again after being defeated once with an Ultra Sword}}.
* [[Our Dragons Are Different]]: The Monster Flame ability, as seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQPkJ_CwWw0 this trailer]
** Also, Landia, the four-headed dragon who attacked Magolor. It can split into four smaller one-headed dragons.
Line 163:
* [[Same Content Different Rating]]: Although it's the first Kirby game to garner an E10+ rating, it's hardly more violent than any other entry in the series.
** Although it was averted with Japanese release, which was rated an A.
* [[Sarcastic Clapping]]: {{spoiler|Magolor, complete with stock "bravo", right before he picks up the Master Crown and goes [[One -Winged Angel]].}}
* [[Scenery Porn]]: True to Kirby form, the backgrounds of this game are vivid, detailed, and colorful.
** The backgrounds in the "Looming Darkness" sections shown after you defeat the Sphere Doomers are ''hauntingly'' beautiful.
Line 191:
* [[The Other Darrin]]: [[Makiko Ohmoto]] voices not only Kirby, but Dedede and Meta Knight too. ([[Heroic Mime|Bandana Dee is silent.]]) It's difficult to tell the difference from [[Creator Cameo|Sakurai]] and Meta Knight's Japanese voice actor.
* [[Suspiciously Similar Substitute]]: {{spoiler|Since Meta Knight is an ally and playable character for this game, Galacta Knight was used as a boss.}}
* [[Teleport Spam]]: The Grand Doomer, Ice Sphere Doomers, and {{spoiler|Magolor's [[One -Winged Angel]] forms}} all do this.
* {{spoiler|[[The End or Is It]]}}: Fixed only once you clear extra mode.
* [[Theme Music Power -Up]]: {{spoiler|Galacta Knight's fight starts out with Landia's boss theme, but when his health drops by half, his theme from ''[[Kirby Super Star]] Ultra'' starts up and he [[Turns Red|fights more seriously]]}}.
** Whenever Kirby gets a Super Ability.
* [[Totally Radical]]: Magolor's speech. {{spoiler|Pre-[[Evil Plan]] reveal.}}
Line 203:
** In Extra Mode, Mr. Dooter and Fatty Puffer are all mainly recolored red (from light blue and purple, respectively.)
** Also, the last series of bosses from Landia EX onwards (including {{spoiler|Galacta Knight}}) turn red when their health hits about 60%.
* [[Unexpected Shmup Level]]: [[Recurring Element|In Kirby tradition.]] {{spoiler|After Magolor goes [[One -Winged Angel]], Kirby and the gang each ride on a part of Landia into another dimension where this trope takes place.}}
** The tradition is played with a bit though. {{spoiler|Most Kirby games take the mystical item that Kirby was assembling over the course of the game, and use it against the final boss, who's usually a [[One -Winged Angel]] version of the penultimate boss. This time, you ride the penultimate boss, who's revealed to have been heroic the entire time, and the item you've been assembling the whole game ends up being turned against you as the Shmup stage boss battle.}}
* [[Wall of Weapons]]: Ultra Sword pulls out an assortment of large swords and sharp objects to cut with, like a standard Kirby sword, Meta Knight's Galaxia sword, a scimitar/cutlass, a butcher's knife, and a kendo sword. If you're lucky, there's also a giant paper fan. And [[Stealth Pun|a fish]].
* [[Walking Spoiler]]: {{spoiler|Magolor.}}
Line 217:
** [[Eternal Engine]]: Egg Engines
** [[Lethal Lava Land]]: Dangerous Dinner
* [[Villainous Harlequin]]: {{spoiler|Magolor's [[One -Winged Angel]] forms, even going as far as to give him a juggling attack and various uses of magical symbols.}}
* [[Ye Olde Butcherede Englishe]]: The masked knight cometh!
