Magolor - Blog Posts

I don't have any asks to post this weekend because of the PMV I've been working on, but I figured I'd at least share a few frames from it!

So, I finished the Magolor Epilogue yesterday! Thoughts Time, and also time for some notes on how I'm gonna work it into this blog's continuity, given its ending.

I won't be tagging this post with any spoiler tags, but I will throw the rest of this under a cut in case anyone else was late to the game like I was! ...And also because it's Long dgdgshs

First off, the mode itself was excellent! It might be my favourite of the "play as someone other than Kirby" modes now. I like the whole collection aspect and upgrading Magolor's abilities a lot (along with all the little things he has to say about it—Magolor likes puns confirmed! Which makes sense. Yet another way to harmlessly annoy his friends lmao), and I definitely strongly prefer the combo mechanic as a way of determining score over the time attacks that Metaknightmare, Dededetour, and such have. ...And I do also just adore Magolor and playing as him dhdhshf (though I love Meta Knight too!)

Getting Platinum ranks on Electricky Dooter and Hydriath was absolute hell though. I have no idea why those two bosses specifically took so many damn tries, but they did.

As for plot stuff, it's cute that they tied stuff in with the Kirby Clash games and offered a bit more of a backstory behind the Gem Apples. And also given the newly added conversation that you get from collecting all 120 Energy Spheres in Extra Mode, it's nice to see him follow through on what he told Kirby and actually set up a shop (even if in doing so he becomes more evil than he ever was before by forcing Microtransactions upon us). I also loved getting to see the origin/creation of Magolor's Ultra Sword attack from Star Allies in the battle against the Master Crown!

But! The ending also causes some slight issues for this blog's continuity, given that here, Magolor is chilling at Dedede's Castle with everyone else. And obviously, I'm not gonna change that.

I've got multiple ideas on how I could adjust things to make everything work! I haven't decided on which one to go with yet.

My initial thought was to create a timeline split. Instead of going to the Kirby Clash universe, this blog's Magolor was sent to somewhere in the main series' timeline (along with the Gem Apple still, of course). Halcandra was my first idea, since that would work best with my original plans for him that I think I've mentioned in an old ask (Magolor talks to Landia, who tells him a bit of what they know about the Master Crown. They also banish him from Halcandra for his crimes, but allow him to take the Lor with him as long as it agrees to it (which it does!)). And then from there, Magolor warps to Dream Land using the Lor Starcutter.

I could see the Epilogue's extra level being a pathway back to Dream Land/Planet Popstar, given the presence of Waddle Dees and (more importantly, since maybe there were Waddle Dees in the other Epilogue levels that I've forgotten about) the fact that Magolor is going through a lot of the Another Dimension Sphere Doomer sections from the Story Mode, which are connected to Popstar and Halcandra. So I could see that being the way Magolor gets back home. Maybe he decided to stick around in Another Dimension for a little while longer instead of taking the portal into the Clash universe? So he could gather more magic energy and fully restore his powers before leaving (so that, say, he's not permanently stuck without infinite flight). And eventually he discovers the extra stage, which takes him back to Popstar. He never does learn what was on the other side of that portal that appeared after he destroyed the Master Crown, and sure, he wonders about it from time to time, but ultimately, he's with his friends now and right where he wants to be.

The problem with Magolor being transported directly to Popstar, though, is that he wouldn't have the Lor with him anymore. ...Well, technically he would get it back once Merry Magoland happens (since I'm treating that as part of the continuity for this blog rather than an alternate universe), when it shows up at the amusement park like «HELLO MAGOLOR. COOL PLACE YOU HAVE GOT HERE.» dgdgdshf. But I have Merry Magoland set as the latest thing happening in this blog's timeline, taking place sometime after Forgotten Land, so Magolor and the Lor would have only recently reunited.

But I guess, given that the extra stage has the Another Dimension Sphere Doomer Story Mode sections (I Do Not Know What To Call Them, I'm sorry dhdhshf) from both Popstar and Halcandra, it might be fine to just say he followed the pathway and the portal at the end took him to Halcandra instead! And then once again, he got the Lor back from Landia since it was willing to accompany him, and then they went back to Popstar so Magolor could make up for what he did to Kirby and the gang (and also because he was exiled from Halcandra).

The other option would be to say that Magolor did go to the Kirby Clash universe, but eventually made it back to Dream Land later on. Since I mean, it's now canon that Magolor goes to Kirby Clash after Return to Dream Land, but there's also the already established canon that Magolor makes it back to Popstar since he's playable in Star Allies. So either there's a timeline split, or Magolor leaves the Kirby Clash universe sometime after its story is complete (...which. I've never finished either of the Kirby Clash games actually dhdhshf).

Magolor does mention that he could potentially warp to other worlds if he upgraded his Dimensional Vanish beyond the in-game maximum, and while that could certainly be exaggeration on his part, that could also be the way he gets home? He managed to further power up his warping abilities during his time in the Kirby Clash universe, and once he's no longer needed there, he decides to use those new powers to go find Popstar (and Halcandra?), which he succeeds in doing in time for Star Allies to take place.

Or alternatively, maybe Kirby summoned him home in Star Allies? If the Dream Rod is able to reach Dark Meta Knight from within the Mirror World and Ribbon from over on Ripple Star, then why not grab Magolor from the Kirby Clash universe too? Plus, I do have to admit, that would make for a pretty cute reunion scene, because Kirby wanted Magolor back and specifically tried to summon him, even after all of the horrible stuff he did.

I dunno! I'm sort of leaning toward the first idea (this blog's Magolor never goes to the Kirby Clash universe at all, spending longer in Another Dimension until he eventually goes through the extra postgame stage, which leads him to a portal to Halcandra), but I still haven't fully decided. Going with the second option (Magolor still gets transported to the Clash universe, but eventually gets summoned back to the main series' universe by Kirby in Star Allies) would mean that he isn't present for the events of Triple Deluxe or Planet Robobot, but I guess that isn't necessarily a bad thing? It'd mean I wouldn't have to decide what he was doing during those times and why he wasn't helping Kirby, since he'd be busy in the Kirby Clash universe. ...But at the same time, for Robobot specifically, I think it'd be funny for Magolor to be there and be torn between going "ooooooh cool tech 👀" and "hey can you guys maybe not destroy Popstar please" dhdgdfhshdhfs

I've been working through RtDL DX's Extra Mode fairly slowly, so I'm only just getting close to finishing it up now. I got all 120 Energy Spheres earlier today, and uhhhhhhh

Fun fact: This dialogue is entirely new to DX! It's not in the original. I went back to my old file on the Wii and checked.

Haha yeah you little shit, we know you're planning to betray us soon (still love you though <3)

WHAT THE FUCK????????

EXCUSE ME????????

And then he goes on to explain a bit more, as seen above. But uhhhhhh,,, yeah!!! He's not actually Halcandran!!!! That's a new piece of Lore right there. My jaw dropped while reading it lmao

Anyway, moving on from that bombshell of a sentence, since we still aren't done with the full dialogue,

Remember that post I made a bit over a month ago talking about some of Manager Magolor's dialogue, where I was wondering if that dream of his regarding the theme park also applied to Main Mode Magolor?

I WAS FUCKING RIGHT!

Hell yeah this is such a victory for me I was so excited to read that dghsghfs

Magolor stole the Master Crown so he could make a giant theme park Confirmed and Canon and Real /hj

And then we also get a fun little reference to the Kirby Clash games!

A steal in Kirby's eyes, maybe, but that's only because he doesn't understand real-world currency.

And to close out this post, here are the last two lines of dialogue from this conversation!

Anyway. I'm losing my mind 💖

So, like I mentioned earlier, I've been (finally) playing through RtDL DX!

And uh. This dialogue you get from fully completing all of the Merry Magoland missions.

I wonder if this dream of his is also shared by 'canon'/'Story Mode' Magolor.

Since I mean--- we do know that the Master Crown corrupts its wearer. I don't remember if it's ever officially confirmed whether Magolor's plans of taking over the universe were always his own or were something brought about by the Crown's influence.

And he does build a theme park in Kirby's Dream Collection to make up for his actions in Return to Dream Land, so there is some precedent for it!

Plus, I just think it'd be really funny if the reason Magolor tried to steal the Master Crown was just because he wanted to use its power to create a super cool theme park of all things. I'm probably gonna make it canon to at least this blog's Magolor lmao

"Meta Kniiiiight!!!" Kirby whined, batting at the older puffball with his fists as he leaned against him. "Just let me wiiiiiiiin!"

Meta Knight raised an eyebrow, unbothered by the other's 'attacks'. "And allow you to split yet another one of my masks in half?" He chuckled. "I'm afraid not, Kirby."

The swordsman had already learned that lesson twice by now, after going a little easier on his student and paying the price for it. At this point, with his stash of spare masks dwindling in order to truly challenge Kirby's abilities, he had no intentions of going anything less than all-out.

"You will not get any stronger if you only ever fight against weak foes."

"But it's haaaaard!" Kirby pouted, sinking to the floor. Though he may have been Dream Land's hero and had saved both it and the wider universe on several occasions, Kirby was still a child, and clearly, not one who appreciated losing several times over. "This dumb samurai stuff is different from our usual training!! I can fight really good when it's a normal battle. But this is just waiting... And waiting... And more waiting..." He yawned. Even just talking about all the waiting he had to do was making him tired. "And then when I can actually fight without getting in trouble, I've gotta be really really fast, because I lose if you hit me even once! I don't like it."

"What if you someday face a foe capable of defeating you in one blow?" Given the exceedingly powerful threats Kirby had faced in recent times, such an opponent was not entirely out of the question. So, it was important that, as his mentor, Meta Knight prepared him for the situation before it could arise. "It may be more wise to dodge rather than strike first in such a scenario, that is true, but the point of this exercise is to train your reaction time. Being able to react quickly and intelligently to anything your opponent may throw at you in the heat of battle is a vital skill to learn."

Kirby merely grumbled in response, absentmindedly wondering if there was any copy ability he could use to melt further into the ground. Maybe Meta Knight's lecture made just a teensy tiny little bit of sense, but it didn't make him any less frustrated by the new training regimen.

Meta Knight sighed at the young puff's antics, and produced the Maxim Tomato he had kept safely tucked within his cape. They had been training for a while now, he supposed, and it was good to have small rests every now and then between sessions. ...Even if that was something he himself was notoriously bad at incorporating into his own training. Luckily for the swordsman, Kirby immediately perked up upon seeing his favourite food.

"You will get better with practice, I am sure." Meta Knight said. "You are already quite skilled at spooking Dedede with that party popper, I must say." Handing Kirby the tomato, he added, "Take a break for now, however, and let me know when you are prepared to resume our training."

"Mm-hm! Thank you, Meta Knight!" Kirby gleefully responded, his sour mood forgotten as he held the precious Maxim Tomato in his hands. Good food made everything better! The new type of training was still dumb, in his opinion, and it was gonna be hard to beat Meta Knight with all those extra rules in place, but thanks to his snack, he had a feeling that he could do it!!

...Meanwhile, in the distance and out of sight of the unsuspecting duo, Magolor snickered to himself as he prepared his legion of mini Scarcutter attacks. It was wonderful to see his friends enjoying the theme park he created, and while he did have some Park Manager work to attend to... Well, who's to say he couldn't have his own fun in Merry Magoland's attractions?

My taranza: well this meta knight more attached to his mask then mine

Meta Knight only huffed in response.

“My mask also doubles as protective armour. It wouldn't do to be suddenly caught in a fight unarmed.” Not to mention the myriad of other problems that came from not wearing his mask, like the uncontained bright glow emitted from his eyes. Plus, while it wasn't something he was keen to admit aloud, it was also a matter of... Comfort. He had been wearing his mask for so long that at this point it felt strange to have it off. As though he was too exposed.

Of course, he didn't actually intend on injuring Magolor over his mask. Hence why he didn't when it was stolen from him and held hostage. The wizard was, perhaps shockingly, someone he considered a friend. Any and all skewering would only occur during impromptu training sessions.

Magolor, ever unhelpful, piped up with a laugh, “Psh, a surprise fight? In Dream Land? The only one here who goes around trying to fight random people is you!” There wasn't any malice in his voice; just amusement.

At that, Meta Knight raised an eyebrow. The other wasn't wrong, at least not entirely, but... “As peaceful as Dream Land is most of the time, it is quite frequently under attack from outside threats.” Magolor himself was one of those threats, once, though Meta Knight opted not to bring that up. “You've been here long enough to know this by now.”

*Magolor voice*:

I've come to make an announcement: Landia is a bitchass motherfucker. They destroyed my fucking ship. That's right, they took their dragon fucking fire breath out, and they destroyed my fucking ship!!

And they said they were "not giving me the Master Crown". And I said, "that's disgusting." So I'm making a callout post on Planet Popstar---

((Magic Anon complete!))

"Heh, yeah, I don't think anyone intended on letting Kirby hear those words. Not at his age, anyway." Not even an "I don't think", really. With the way Meta Knight and Dedede reacted after hearing Kirby blurt out that cheerful "Fuck!", there was no way they'd meant for Kirby to hear their yelling.

Having calmed down by now, Magolor picked his Gem Apple back up and finished it off. Afterward, he got up from off the floor and stretched, once again using his magic to deny the force of gravity.

"Well, you two are welcome to stay as long as you need to, but I think it might be time for me to get going. I've been gone long enough that Kirby might've started asking for me." If he remembered correctly, Kirby had been taking a nap with Dedede when Magolor first encountered the otherworldly visitors. If he woke up with one of his friends having mysteriously disappeared without a word... Well, he couldn't just leave his best friend worried like that, could he!?

"This place is usually pretty peaceful, so I doubt you'll be disturbed here if you decide to stick around. But, if you need to find me, I'll be around in either Dedede's Castle or my Lor, as always!"

My taranza: yes i am that taranza. What has my husband been saying about me

"Nothing bad, of course!" Magolor smiled, though, naturally, his mouth was hidden beneath the clasp of his cape. "He's just been telling me and some of my other friends from my world some stories about things that have happened in yours."

"Now, what has my other self been saying about me, might I ask?" His ears gave a light twitch as he changed the topic of the conversation. "Surely something about how great and cute and cool I am, right?" He added with a wink. Would it be self-centered to say such things about another version of yourself? Well… Yes, but it was also the honest truth! Surely the other Magolor would be honest with his own husband of all people, riiiight~?

"Oh! Hee hee..." Magolor covered his mouth with both hands as he giggled, leaving the poor half-eaten Gem Apple to fall to the floor (luckily, on Popstar, it wasn't all that strange to eat food off of the ground).

"Sorry, sorry, I probably shouldn't laugh, but--! Ha!--" Clearly, despite his words, the mage wasn't making much of an effort to contain his laughter.

"Did you know that my Meta Knight once got mad at Marx and me for the same thing a while back!?" Though, of course, in his world's case, it later turned out that it was Meta Knight himself, alongside King Dedede, who were the ones to accidentally teach the young puff those forbidden words. But Meta Knight sure was ready to murder Marx and him before the truth was revealed! He could hardly blame his other self for wanting to escape the swordsman's wrath.

[Previously]

"Ah, thanks!" Magolor pulled the hood over his ears, feeling more snug and comfortable already. Was his discomfort around water really that obvious? The webbed texture did feel a bit strange up against his fur, but the protection it offered was far better than nothing at all!

He had briefly considered pulling up his special hood just for this one outing, but even in this remote area, who knew who could be watching? As a result, he'd decided against it and to just grin and bear any potential splashes from the river.

But! Thanks to Taranza, he could stay nice and comfortable without breaking any rules! This was a fair loophole, right? He hadn't even asked the spider to do it for him! And Meta Knight wore those sunglasses around everywhere whenever those askers couldn't see his face during that time his mask was stolen by him gone! So yeah, totally fair!!

"Oh?" Now this was rather interesting! Magolor leaned forward in curiosity, continuing to snack on his own apple. "What happened?"

My taranza: yes i am that taranza. What has my husband been saying about me

"Nothing bad, of course!" Magolor smiled, though, naturally, his mouth was hidden beneath the clasp of his cape. "He's just been telling me and some of my other friends from my world some stories about things that have happened in yours."

"Now, what has my other self been saying about me, might I ask?" His ears gave a light twitch as he changed the topic of the conversation.

Well… Yes, but it was also the honest truth! Surely the other Magolor would be honest with his own husband of all people, riiiight~?

Magolor took the offered Gem Apple from his otherworldly counterpart, the grateful smile on his face expressed through his eyes. "Thanks! I know a nice place we could go to enjoy these, if you'll just allow me..!"

Teleportation was an advanced and complicated form of magic (which is what made Meta Knight's cape oh-so-interesting to the mage); group teleportation even more so. Really, if it weren't for the energy-replenishing effects of the Gem Apple he was about to eat, he never would have attempted the task in such a low-stakes situation. Regardless, as his words trailed off, Magolor focused all of his magic into one point, and, in the blink of an eye, the three of them were transported to a completely new area.

"And... Huff... Here we are!" Magolor had brought the others to a forest clearing next to a river and a small waterfall. Of course, having somewhat of a relation to cats, Magolor wasn't a particularly big fan of water (especially when he wasn't wearing his magically enchanted hood), but he could still appreciate nice scenery when he saw it. He'd just... Appreciate it from further away.

Plopping himself down in the grass a safe distance away from the rushing water, Magolor took his first bite out of his Gem Apple, and, once he felt energized enough to speak, asked, "So, what brings you two to this fine world of mine today, anyway?"

My taranza: yes i am that taranza. What has my husband been saying about me

"Nothing bad, of course!" Magolor smiled, though, naturally, his mouth was hidden beneath the clasp of his cape. "He's just been telling me and some of my other friends from my world some stories about things that have happened in yours."

"Now, what has my other self been saying about me, might I ask?" His ears gave a light twitch as he changed the topic of the conversation.

Well… Yes, but it was also the honest truth! Surely the other Magolor would be honest with his own husband of all people, riiiight~?

"Oh! You're here, too?" Magolor turned to the other version of him, ears pointed upward in shock. He wasn't bothered by it—he considered the other Magolor a friend, after all—just surprised. Though, it was a little awkward to have the person you were just talking about suddenly show up in front of you. But! He and the other world's Taranza didn't have anything to hide, so there was no sense in making things weird!

"You already have some Gem Apples with you, then? I'll be able to go out right now if you do!" He didn't recall having anything planned for the day, at least. He would be helping Meta Knight out with maintenance on the Halberd at some point, but it would still be a few days until the swordsman's crew arrived at the castle with the airship.

My taranza: yes i am that taranza. What has my husband been saying about me

"Nothing bad, of course!" Magolor smiled, though, naturally, his mouth was hidden beneath the clasp of his cape. "He's just been telling me and some of my other friends from my world some stories about things that have happened in yours."

Well… Yes, but it was also the honest truth! Surely the other Magolor would be honest with his own husband of all people, riiiight~?

Magolor took a moment to ponder the information before giving a satisfied nod. Yes, he supposed he would accept this description. It was said by another version of himself, after all! "Well, good to know he's not talking bad about me!" He joked.

"Sharing that Gem Apple sounds good to me!" Although he enjoyed their flavour, it wasn't actually all that often that he ate those fruits. Most of his time was spent trying to convince others to buy them from him or pranking his friends with the explosive variants he had created using his magic. And, in his defence, any edible Gem Apples left unattended around the castle were almost immediately devoured by either Kirby, Dedede, or Marx. It would be nice to snack on one again.

You don't hav eto draw a comic or anything if you don't want to, but I had the question of how would the cast react if theu turned into human/gijinka for a day?

answering this one ooc because it's easier than doing it in character

First off, I'm going to assume that they all become Adeleine-sized humans rather than average-sized real humans. I believe Kirby is canonically like 8 inches tall, so like. Everything on Planet Popstar is Small. A real human would be a Giant there and probably wouldn't fit into most buildings lmao. So yeah, everyone stays within a reasonable enough range of Adeleine's height.

Putting the rest of this under a cut since it's pretty long

Marx has arms and hands now, oh god oh fuck. Who allowed him to have this kind of power. He is going to commit even More atrocities. It'll take him a bit of time to figure out how to use those hands, sure, but you just gave him powerful instruments of Chaos. He will learn how to use them, and once he does you'd better run. After him. Please, catch him before it's too late.

Magolor now has arms attached to his hands instead of just having them floating around. That's gotta feel weird. I just imagine him trying to move his hands around in some sort of weird way that he's normally able to do, but can't because his arms are in the way dgdshs. Also legs. He's got those now, and that's definitely also weird. Though if we want to assume that everyone keeps their powers through the transformation, then he'd probably just use his magic to float and continue denying the floor lmao

Speaking of which, Susie also gains arms and legs, and unlike Magolor she's not gonna be able to avoid having to use those legs if she wants to move around (unless she uses some sort of technology to help her out?). Aside from that though she doesn't change too much physically, since she already looks very humanoid. Though since I personally like to deny canon and see her as a robot, the transition from being mechanical to an organic being would definitely be Very Weird.

I'm kind of inclined to say that Dedede would have it the easiest out of everyone? It'd still be strange for him, of course, but at least he doesn't have to get used to any new limbs or anything. He'd just have to adjust to slightly different body proportions and a completely different facial structure, which, again, still would be strange, but isn't as bad as everyone else, who have to deal with all of that on top of other things.

Meta Knight, meanwhile, I think might have it the worst. Yes, in terms of new changes he's on equal ground with Kirby and Bandana Dee, who are all mostly spherical creatures who need to adjust to having longer limbs and a head separate from their body. However, Meta Knight has been training for most of his life to be an agile and powerful fighter, and all of what he's learned is going to go out the window when he's in this clunky new human form. His combat capabilities are going to be pretty stunted as a human; even after he adjusts to things better I doubt he'd be able to move as swiftly as he does in his normal body. And he is Not going to be happy about that. And then there's also his wings, which I think he might still keep? Since I personally see them as being part of his body (though I think the newer games might be trying to imply that they're actually just his cape). But either way, even if he does keep his wings, flying would definitely be much more difficult as a human. So all in all, Meta Knight's pretty upset about everything, and has probably hidden himself away from everyone else so he can grumpily brood in peace until things go back to normal (assuming there's nothing he can do to get things fixed quicker, that is).

Kirby has a lot of changes to get used to, but he's nothing if not adaptable. It can't be much worse than being split into ten smaller versions of yourself, or becoming a literal ball with no limbs, or being completely made of yarn, right? And in all of those cases he didn't have access to his copy ability, so he can still fare well enough without it. So, after the initial adjustment period, I think Kirby would be pretty much okay! He'd still be happy to go back to his regular body, of course, but during the day he'd be in a much better mood than most of the cast.

Bandee also has a mouth now, on top of everything else that's different.  I've never given much thought to how Waddle Dees communicate, but it does make me wonder if Bandee would have to do it differently from his usual way when he's in his human form?

Ace Attorney x Kirby AU because I am obsessed and nobody can stop me

Phoenix is the defence and Edgeworth is the prosecution because yes

Dedede is the defendant. I dunno if he’d be accused of murder or something more minor like stealing. Either way he’s innocent tho

Kirby replaces Maya as Phoenix's assistant. His special ability is eating the evidence. Is that helpful? Not in the least.

Meta Knight works with Edgeworth as his assistant. Being a witness would probably make more sense but I’m biased and want those two to work together so… Ye. The Kirby universe is a lot less realistic than the AA universe, so maybe Meta Knight's there to help Edgeworth with the more magical aspects of the case and explain shit. He’s pretty neutral on the whole situation, cuz he doesn’t believe that Dedede would commit a crime like this but the evidence is pretty damning.

Bandee’s the main witness and he hates it. He REALLY doesn’t wanna testify against Dedede, but he doesn’t have much of a choice. He probably tries to help Phoenix and Kirby in any way possible during investigations to get Dedede declared innocent.

Magolor’s probably one of those troublesome witnesses that bring Edgeworth pain lmao

More under the cut

The crime would take place in Dedede's castle probably. Wherever it is it’s pretty dark out when the crime happens, so stuff like colour isn’t very visible. Still, Dedede's silhouette is pretty recognizable, and it’d be hard to mistake him for someone else.

There’s probably a photo of the crime, maybe from a security camera or something. That could be why Magolor gets called in as a witness actually. He had recently set up all those cameras around the castle, so he was asked to talk about them.

It’s probably initially thought that Dedede was possessed when he committed the crime, since he has a history of that happening. Maybe Maya's called in as an expert on ghosts. Spirit channelling isn’t the same thing as what Zero, Dark Matter, etc. does, but it’s the closest thing the Ace Attorney characters would be able to compare it to. Still, judging by past cases, Dedede would still be declared guilty even if he had been possessed.

Maybe sometime during one of the trials, Kirby decides to snack on a seemingly innocent piece of evidence and becomes Poison Kirby, revealing that poison was used in some way during the crime?

During… I guess the second trial, when all hope seems lost, Kirby copies Phoenix’s lawyer abilities and realizes that the Meta Knight at the Prosecutor’s bench is, in fact, Dark Meta Knight! Apparently, Dark Meta Knight had disguised himself as Meta Knight and switched places with him during a recess (or even before the trial started). The real Meta Knight was probably locked inside a closet or something

This opens up the possibility that someone from the Mirror World committed the crime. The Ace Attorney characters didn’t even know the Mirror World existed until this point, and the Kirby crew never considered the idea since they thought the portal was closed.

Shadow Dedede ends up being questioned and brought to court, and he is found out to be the real culprit of the case.

Magolor: Unlike SOME people, I don’t mind showing my face.

((I don't actually have any asks for Magolor right now, so uh... Ye.))

Meta Knight: During the battle, I was able to slice off some of the fabric of Nightmare's robe, which I fashioned into my cape.

Meta Knight: I do not know how the fabric was enchanted, but it has been very useful to me.

I had to add to it.

For anyone who knows SnapCube’s Sonic 06 dub:

This is amazing holy shit

Maggy: plus my daughter made Taranza a cute card and tried to make breakfast out of play dough

Magolor: Aww, that's cute!

Magolor: I wish I could send my parents something for Mother's and Father's Day, but Popstar doesn't exactly have a dimension-spanning postal service. As far as I know, the Lor is the only thing that can get to Halcandra from here.

Magolor: And uh... I don't think Landia would be too keen on me paying a little visit.

Maggy: oh it was especially when I told dedede I actually forgot what he did.

Magolor: Hehe, too bad I wasn't there to see it!

Maggy: he smashed something he ordered i can't remember what. But i did forget what he did

Magolor: *shrugs* Well, if you can't remember what it was then it probably wasn't anything too special! Knowing Dedede, it was probably food or something.

Magolor: *giggles* Still, what happened sounds pretty funny!
