Dupa^[1] is an enemy fromAnother Dimension encountered inKirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake,Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. It is only encountered inAnother Dimension and in the newMagolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler extra mode in the remake, alongside its counterparts, theDarpas,Dippas, andDeppas.

Dupa is the smallest out of its four brethren, as well as the only one with feet, as it is the only one to walk along the surfaces it occupies. It is a greenish-cyan egg-shaped creature with three small feathers on its head, similar to those of the higher-rankingSphere Doomers. It bears an angry expression from its yellow eyes, also like the Sphere Doomers.

This enemy is the most complex of its group. It has the ability to fire projectiles like theDippa, but they only quickly travel in a straight line. These projectiles can damageKirby and his friends if they make contact with one. These bullets can also be shot down to avoid getting hit. The Dupa is always attached to a solid surface and moves quickly back and forth within a small unseen section of the surface. It has moderatehealth, but is about as easy to defeat as aDarpa. It behaves very similarly toBolum fromKirby Super Star, filling a near-identical role.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land /Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

Dupa is firstly introduced inKirby's Return to Dream Land as an enemy solely found inAnother Dimension, only present in segments of the level that are not boss fights. InKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Dupas also appear throughoutMagolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler as recurring enemies, marking the first time any player is able to interact with them without riding onLandia.

In the boss battle against theMaster Crown, Dupas can be summoned through dimensional rifts created by the crown itself, and are souped up in terms of health. Because of this, said boss battle inThe True Arena is also the only time Kirby is able to encounter Dupas on foot and inhale them, however they will only give no ability if swallowed.

Trivia[edit]

• In the files ofKirby's Return to Dream Land, Dupa has an unused version of its body texture that depicts it as blue as opposed to greenish-cyan. This unused texture, as it was meant for an earlier model for Dupa, suggests that Dupa was originally going to be blue.
