10/10 greatest Kirby game of all time, no contest.

That eye seems to straight up be the Master Crown. We might've been looking for the wrong villain this whole time...

That giant eyeship(?) has final level written all over it. Pon & Con's appearance leads me to think we will be having boss rushes a la Triple Deluxe in the baddie's final world.

But, yeah, if Dark Matter isn't in this I'm going to be disappointed.

Also to note, that giant crown thing, isn't a boss fight, if you look close enough, it's actually a world map

for most likely the final world

Pon and Con seem to be fought in the last world
And Fire Francisca has a fire cannon

Dreamland, country, is the first world. Popstar, AS A WHOLE, is the second world, meaning it starts to envelop the other countries as levels rather than worlds. Third world SEEMS to be the Jamahalder, now translated as Jambastion, which then goes to other planets altogether. Obviously those are edited out of the video.

Now that Jambastion stuff is more what I was talking about it! I was really getting woried about this game. Don't get me wrong, it looks gorgeous, but most of the levels showed off were SUPER generic (a grass land, an ice land, a cave, etc.). But, if all of that was just footage from Popstar, that's totally understandable. From the looks of it, I guess we haven't really seen all that much past the third word, then? Also, I guess the bosses will really just be put inside levels like they were in Super Star? Which very likely means Whispy and Dedede in Dreamland, Meta Knight and Kracko in Popstar, Pon & Con (a Famitsu image showed them in a room full of evil eyes) and Francisca in the Jambastion, and then the other two generals in the world beyond, along with other bosses we possibly haven't seen? That's what it seems like, anyway.

There's a second floor to the Jambastion in the video, and a tweet said Red Francisca is in there as well. It's possible the generals are recurring bosses or at least we'll fight them all now and get them as a nuisance later, like Susie.

Ah, okay. In that case, I really have to wonder if this game's going to be divided into standard worlds like the other Return games. Either I'm massively underestimating this game's size,
or they're ditching worlds in favor of areas and, maybe, there are one or two more after the Jambastion. Judging by the Popstar map, I want to say they're traditional worlds, in which case we'll either have boss refights or this game could set the record for most bosses in a Kirby game.

Something of note: Francisca's text uses the exact same robotic sound effects as Suzie's text boxes in Robobot. Are they supposed to be the same species or something?

Though Susie at least has legs, since she's shown running on a treadmill and Haltmann has feet. These generals straight up end halfway through the torso.

It looks like I was right, Pon and Con are fought in Jambastion

... that the not-Magolor cult leader guy will be a Disc One Final Boss, like the Grand Doomer, and that the real threat will then emerge (maybe Dark Matter, maybe something else), and there will be additional areas to go through to get to the end.

You destroy the dark heart and it flies all around to different planets, and Kirby has to destroy the pieces, otherwise Dark Matter's gonna take over the galaxy

Aaaaaand Derek just confirmed what I was thinking, saying he believes most of the footage we've seen is just "from the first three worlds." THERE'S HOPE! :D

Dreamland has around 5 main levels, and 2 side levels(maybe 3)

Green Gardens is the first level and Donut Dome is the second

The third level has the waddle dee ball, and the side level after that is that nighttime level.

The next level is where you fight whispy woods, the level after that is where you fight King Dedede

From there you go to Planet Popstar
That snow level is called Echo's Edge Btw

Then to Jamaholder
The first level where you fight Pon and Con is called Gatehouse Road
And the level where you fight Flamberge is called Inner Sanctum
Also, accourding to Gamexplain, we have only seen gameplay of the first 3 worlds, and there are more than 3 worlds

Peaceful Country
World of Miracles
Fortress of Shadows

Nature's Navel is actually from Squeak Squad. It's known as Nature Notch everywhere else.

Only four words sounds... Unlikely, especially since TD and Robobot had their own final boss worlds.

-He lists Twin Kracko as an EX boss, but we've seen Twin Kracko fought in Story mode
-He doesn't put in the level names for those two hidden World 1 levels
-Derrick from Gamexplain said that the game is a lot larger than 3 worlds, the leaks say there are only 4 worlds
-They will usually wait 1 game before bringing Galacta Knight back

-Basically the game has a post game of sorts, where you can play as King Dedede, Meta Knight, or Bandana Waddle Dee, and the helpers. It's Called Guest Star ??? Star Allies Go, it has these new collectables called power hearts, which raise your attack, health, and speed.
-The Arena has Changed Slightly, you can die and continue on, but you lose points, there is also no True Arena, but hey, they make up for that with difficulty selections they are
Sweet Breeze
Mild Stroll
Zesty Expedition
Spicy Adventure
Sizzling Threat
Fiery Showdown
Infernal Crisis
Soul Melter
The last three are unlockable, so think of those as the True Arenas
Also, the Arena is now called The Ultimate Choice

-There are 4 worlds in game, Dream Land, Pop Star, Jambastion, and Far-Flung Starlight Heroes
-That fourth world is actually really long, think of it as the great maze from the Subspace Emissary
-Here are the levels

I only Control+F'd the data mining for mention of Magolor. And, if if's really true that he got cut from the final game, then that's extremely depressing to see. He could easily be an expanded ESP. ;~;

I think Yggy, Twin Kracko, and Goldon and Silvox, are fought in world 4, not in an EX mode

PLAYABLE MARX IN KIRBY STAR ALLIES IN A FUTURE UPDATE AAAAAAA

WHERE IS MY PLAYABLE MAGOLOR, DAMN IT? HAL, IF YOU DON'T DO THIS, I SWEAR...
