These guys are the main protagonists of my fanfic, "The Tales of the Zolt Dimension", and Volt's the secondary protagonist of the Kirby and Volt trilogy, with Flamis and Felix being the secondary protagonists.

The marks on their cheeks, btw, are Zolt Dimension birthmarks. In order to make the ZD Kirbies stand out from the normal ones back at Dream Land, they have small birthmarks on their right cheeks based on what their personality or main motif is (Like a heart, a circle, a triangle, etc.).

Anyway, let's learn more about these 3, shall we?

Volt's the leader of the trio, the chosen one of the Zolt Dimension, and the current guardian of the sacred Zolt Crystals. His most notable feature is his wolf ears, tail, and his paws. This is due to his mother being part wolf, while his father was simply a normal Puffball, which caused Volt's DNA to be mixed with both of them while inside his mother's womb, along with giving him a Zolt Dimension birthmark on his right cheek. Volt's a person who's normally quiet and not really all that talkative, but he's pretty supportive and confident in himself, though there are times where he can be an overthinker and overconfident. He loves Pechi fruit, which is a type of fruit that's native to the Zolt Dimension, especially Pearl Rasps, and he'll immediately dart towards a tree that has or is stacked with them. His signature Copy Ability is Fighter, which he normally trains with while being a frequently and one of the most well known students at the Saturn Dojo, a martial arts school for Zolt Dimension warriors. And additionally, he has electrokinesis powers, via emitting static electricity from forming an aura strong enough to create it.

Flamis is the zoner of the group, and also Volt's best friend. She loves studying magic, nature, and just learning about things in general. She primarily fights with her signature Beam ability, and frequently uses it when she's in the Saturn Dojo's magic class. She can be a bit bossy and somewhat stuck up when it comes to certain things (Especially her brother Felix, who we'll get to later), but she's a gentle, caring person who is simply just wants the best for her brother and her friends, so they don't go the wrong path down the line. An interesting fact about her too, she also was able to learn some attacks that the Mirror Copy Ability has while under some special training, and she's a pretty good team planner, even though they don't always go according to plan, which Felix teases her about normally, much to her annoyance. Lastly, she's kinda sassy and sarcastic, often rolling her eyes at something that seems ridiculous or if Felix does something that will obviously get him into trouble, which she lectures him about later. Her ZD birthmark is a heart-like shape.

Felix is Flamis' younger brother, and as well as the speedster of the group, meaning he's the fastest, but also the weakest. He's pretty much your average daredevil: Cocky, a smart-mouth, arrogant, and also somewhat hotheaded. But he's actually a pretty chill and nice guy when not in combat, often being the jokester of the dojo, normally pulling multiple types of pranks on people, either they be harmful or mean no harm, he normally gets in trouble right after, not that he cares either way. He can be considered the opposite of Flamis (And Volt by extension), since the two often tease and judge each other by saying somewhat negative things about their interests and personalities, but they still care for each other deeply. His signature Copy Ability is Yo-Yo, and he also secretly has the Wheel ability, being able to turn into a large tire and surprisingly enough turn invisible when doing so. He mainly focuses on kicks for physical combat, along with doing parkour tricks with his yo-yo, though unlike his sister and Volt, it's not all that powerful, and can be intercepted by opponents if not careful. His ZD birthmark is a speeding comet.

And just so you know, I’m aware that "Spark the Electric Jester" exists. I’m more interested in how feasible this is with Kirby, given that its level design is geared toward world exploration rather than finishing level fast.

If you’re wondering what I mean by a "Sonic-like" game, here are the characteristics of such games:

1. inertia and momentum
2. replayability through various paths
3. rewarding the effective use of abilities by increasing speed
4. Flow

Like think about it, the last boss with underwater elements in the series was gobbler in amazing mirror or if you want to be technical capamari in epic yarn, if the underwater gameplay be like forgotten land I assume we not gonna have underwater segments but I still feel it be cool to fight a boss in a home turf territory sort of deal don't you think?

Or at least King Dedede, Meta Knight, Waddle Dee and Marx.

My favorite one is the one where Chaos Elfilis (Ultimate Cup Z EX version) turns into THE SUN and forces Kirby to hide in the shadow of the pillars. It's just such a unique attack (though I heard that Mr. Shine and Bright have a similar attack in DL2)

I will exclude the Awoofy from Forgotten Land because they replaced the Waddle Dees from beginning to end. The alternate Waddle Dee enemies that appear in the late game started from Return to Dream Land, and while there are cases where they are just simple replacements with no functional differences from the originals, I think they are worth discussing because showing completely different inhabitants in those areas is an element that increases immersion in the gameplay.

Halcandle Dee: This is the first example, an enemy that appears in Halcandra. With their gray appearance, they fit quite well with the Egg Engines stages. My favorite thing about them is that they use their own tin can robot as an alternate version of the Armor Waddle Dee, which I found cute. However, other than that, it seems like they were a somewhat easily forgettable enemy due to their dull color scheme.

Sectra Dee: These are Sectonia's minions living in Royal Road, and to be honest, they are my least favorite alternate Waddle Dee, even though I basically like insect designs. So I also like the designs of insect enemies in other Kirby games. But this one gave me a strong impression of looking very unnatural, as if insect features were artificially forced onto a green Waddle Dee shape. However, there is an upside beyond Sectra Dee, which is that there are many alternate enemies unique to that area besides Sectra Dee. There is the flower version Pacflower replacing Pacto, and insect versions of Bronto Burt and Gordo. While Sectra Dee itself might not be a strong point, having these various versions meant there were many alternate enemies that increased the immersion of the final section, even aside from them.

Haltworker: I feel like it is a bit unfair to compare them to the others. They make their appearance from the beginning riding the Invader Armor, they were even mini-bosses, and they shoot guns instead of acting like Waddle Dees. However, in the late-game areas, they appear in place of Waddle Dees, so they can still be called alternate Waddle Dees. They are my favorite, partly because of the things I mentioned earlier, but simply because I really like how they look like a Mario Bob-omb wearing a spacesuit.

The gun itself creates a natural difficulty increase compared to other cases, and the way they jump and shoot or shoot from the background strongly gives off the feeling of an enemy force equipped with the latest technology, thoroughly engraving their unique traits. And I think from this point onward, the alternate Waddle Dee enemies started to stand out more and more. Unlike Halcandle Dee or Sectra Dee, they are frequently seen in Planet Robobot-related artworks, which clearly shows that from this point on, as the series progresses, they are trying to raise the recognition of the game through the alternate Waddle Dees as well (the peak of that being Awoofy, of course).

Jambeliever: They are Hyness's alternate Waddle Dees. Design-wise, I like that they are purple and wear hats similar to The Three Mage-Sisters, which makes their sense of being a collective group stand out more. However, other than that, they do not really have anything unique to themselves. Their behavior patterns are exactly the same as Waddle Dees, and there are no alternate versions of other enemies besides them, so it feels like they are slightly lacking as an element to increase immersion in the late-game areas.

But their biggest characteristic lies elsewhere, and that is because of the Staff ability's Jammerjab. No other alternate Waddle Dee enemies had gained a copy ability, and Jammerjab is not even treated as having a separate tool like Parasol Waddle Dee; they are just independent ability users. This also relates to the helper ability Parasol Waddle Dee. Just as there is a separate Parasol Waddle Dee that you can make friends with compared to a regular Waddle Dee, I think it is really cool that they created a similar concept for these new enemies. I also liked the pause screen descriptions or novel depictions of Jammerjab, explaining that they were originally an enemy force not from here but wanted to learn after watching Kirby.

So these are my opinions, and it ended up getting too long as I was writing, so thank you to everyone who read through it all. Seeing that Waddle Dees also appear as enemies in this World Beyond, it seems like there will be late-game Waddle Dees this time too, and I always welcome that. Please let me know what you guys think about them.

The Celebration

Right Back at Yeah

Some of the prerequisites for FCEXV2 aren't updating and still say I need to fulfill them even though I already have. I have reached 100% completion on the base game and have saved every Starry, beaten Genwel Meteonelfilis along with the Ultimate Cup Z EX, but it still says I need to clear Star-Crossed World, rebuild more of Waddle Dee Town, save more Waddle Dees, and talk to Clawroline for Forgo Dreams. Has anyone else had these issues?

This is what I've been thinking up

I believe only the Milky Way Wishes portion of Meta Knightmare Ultra is canon, which would make Galacta Knight canon - After he loses and recovers, he flees to Halcandra to train. When Kirby and Co. reach Dangerous Dinner, at some point, be it separated from the group or with everyone, Kirby finds Galacta Knight and they enter battle, where Kirby wins easily due to Galacta being weaker. Afterwards, Galacta travels across Dimensions to train like some sort of Far-Flung Traveler. Eventually, he senses the presence of Void Termina, and he heads to the Jambastion site to check it out but it'll take a sec for him to get there

This is where Guest Star Mode comes in, I believe mode canonically follows Kirby's discarded helpers re-treading his steps to try and help him.

The Helpers and Galacta Knight arrive at the same time, and promptly fight. But they actually don't because of sum bug that Galacta's soul gets trapped in. However, Galacta Knight showing up at the Jambastion base caused space-time in that area to become unstable, and so tears open up to Another Dimension (which is where GK came from last time). The Helpers finally track down Kirby and inform him on this new matter.

i spent way too much time on this

In your opinion,

Made this today as a little test of my comic making abilities, hope ya like it
