TheDreamstalk is a magical plant that serves a pivotal role in the storyline ofKirby: Triple Deluxe. It resembles a fairy-tale beanstalk, and extends high into the skies ofPopstar to connect the various floating islands that make upFloralia.
Role inKirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]
The Dreamstalk is initially sent down as a seed by thePeople of the Sky in order to bring them a hero to save their kingdom. It germinates inDream Land, lifting up bothKirby's House andCastle Dedede. AfterTaranza heads down the stalk to capture Dedede, Kirby makes chase into Floralia using the Dreamstalk as a walkway.
Throughout the stages, Kirby often finds the Dreamstalk's vines, which grow and blossom withMiracle Fruit. When eaten, Miracle Fruit give Kirby the power ofHypernova, allowing him to clear the path forward. Thus, the Dreamstalk guides Kirby along as it grows, leading Kirby on Taranza's trail.
After clearing an island, Kirby obtains aGrand Sun Stone from eachBoss, which allows him to grow the Dreamstalk further, and travel to the next land. Eventually, it reaches the top of the kingdom,Royal Road, where Kirby confronts Taranza andQueen Sectonia.
After Kirby proves to be too much for Sectonia to handle, she uses her power to merge with the Dreamstalk and cover the land in its roots and vines, threatening not only Floralia, but Popstar below as well. Kirby then has to fight her again, this time with the help of both Taranza and Dedede. Kirby uses theHypernova ability to destroyFlowered Sectonia, removing her influence on the Dreamstalk, and allowing it to bloom. From then on, the Dreamstalk remains a permanent fixture of Dream Land.
Other game appearances[edit]
- The Dreamstalk is mentioned inKirby: Planet Robobot as having been the source for the genetic samples used to create theSectonia Clone, suggesting the Dreamstalk was never truly purged of Sectonia's influence.
- The Dreamstalk can be seen in the background of the Obstacle Arena stage inKirby Battle Royale along withMt. Dedede andKirby’s house.
In theKirby novel series[edit]
In theKirby novel series, the story and fate of the Dreamstalk are expanded upon. Queen Sectonia is said to have parasitized the Dreamstalk and drawn power from it. However, the Dreamstalk that once supported Floralia is gone since her defeat.
A sapling was carried away to a distant star, wherePirika finds it in order to amplify her own powers. She brings it to the clouds above theRainbow Islands, where it grows into a tree, and casts a puppeting spell on it, causing it to gain an eerie color and infect the lake in the clouds that would pour down as rain. After Pirika has a change of heart, this Dreamstalk turns back to normal.
Although the fate of the second Dreamstalk is unknown, several of its fruits that were thrown by Pirika scattered throughout the world. One such fruit makes it back to Floralia, where Taranza takes care of it.
