Kirby Super Star/YMMV

• Crowning Music of Awesome: The whole. Damn. Soundtrack. Check it out here.
• Draco in Leather Pants: We have Galacta Knight, who was so powerful and dangerous that he had to be sealed away. Sounds like some horrible villainous character, right? Exactly! That is why every other fangirl draws him as an overly-cutesy, baby-faced sweetie that loves to tickle Meta Knight.
  • To be fair, since he appears to be of the same species as Kirby and Meta Knight, the "cutesy, baby-faced" part is probably accurate.
  • And, of course, there's Marx. Okay, so he did incite conflict between the sun and moon just to trick Kirby into summoning NOVA, granting him the power to rule Pop Star and do whatever he pleases, but...but he's so cute! There have been a number of fanfics either attempting to redeem him or altogether ignoring that he was evil in the first place.
• Ensemble Darkhorse: Galacta Knight immediately gained a huge fanbase after Ultra was released.
  • Marx is generally agreed to be the most popular villain in the series after Zero/Zero Two.
• Excuse Plot: Except for Milky Way Wishes, the plots of most games never get really complex. In fact, most of their descriptions are little more than "There's a Big Bad causing trouble! Go stop it!" Then again, Kirby doesn't need much motivation anyway.
• Game Breaker: Stone Kirby in Ultra completely annihilates the otherwise Nintendo Hard True Arena if you're willing to fight cheap and spend a lot of time in rock form to keep from being hurt.
  • The Plasma and Hammer Ability can count as this as well. Plasma by virtue of being the only power with a projectile that goes across the whole screen (provided you've done at least a little charging), and Hammer because it's just so damn powerful.
  • Also, the Mirror ability, which has a guard that reflects most projectiles without having Kirby take damage. It's also quite powerful against bosses.
  • Copy is the most powerful ability for any Helper. The attack is extremely fast, and it allows him to copy enemies for abilities (and a full heal) without exploding.
    • In Milky Way Wishes, the Copy ability, which is ordinarily pointless for Kirby to have, becomes this by allowing Kirby to bypass the gimmick of Milky Way Wishes and get his ability to copy back. Consequently, the Copy ability is very well hidden.
    • TAC may also be one of the better characters for Helper To Hero. His attack is lightning fast, does surprisingly high damage, and his guard makes him completely unhittable.
• Hell Is That Noise: Combining this with Most Annoying Sound gives you the final phase of "Revenge Of Meta Knight". OH GOD THOSE SIRENS - this may be a good source for Nightmare Fuel.
• It Was His Sled: Marx as a villain was doomed to be spread to many.
• Magnificent Bastard: Marx.
• Most Wonderful Sound/ Most Annoying Sound : The cry of Marx Soul when you FINALLY defeat it.
• Nightmare Fuel: Marx Soul's death cry. Dear gods.
  • Even scarier when you consider this; that scream emulates his rage at losing again to Kirby after who knows HOW long of burning in the pit, his fear of death, his pain as he dies. Definitely Nightmare Fuel.
  • The cutscene preceding the Marx Soul battle can be pretty chilling as well, seeing as it shows Marx's corpse drifting through space, eyes staring blankly and skin drained of color. Then he's engulfed in darkness and transformed into a monstrous revenant. Brr.
  • Some found Wham Bam Rock (especially his original design) sort of creepy looking. His new design looks like a floating mask, his old design looked like a bunch of organic facial features floating in the dark.
• Tear Jerker: The ending of Revenge of the King. Poor Dedede.
  • It starts off that way, but becomes a heartwarming moment when his Waddle Dees come up to console him.
• Unfortunate Implications: Wham Bam Rock's original design. The remake fixes this by turning him into stone.
