AHAL Room is a secret area in any givenKirby title, where elements of the stage spell out the letters H, A, and L. This is a direct reference toHAL Laboratory, the primary developer for theKirby series.

Typically, to reach a HAL Room, a specific path and/or series of doorways must be taken in a specific stage. These paths are usually hidden and require a discerning eye, specific movement, or just plain patience to reveal. The room itself usually features its own music, and often contains late-gameCopy Essences, and plenty offood and othercollectibles. HAL Rooms are usually intended to be areas of respite, where there is little to no danger, but the player character can still potentially be defeated if they get in the way of the rooms' gimmicks or fall down abottomless pit.

Though these rooms are typically secret, their locations are sometimes telegraphed to the player through cryptic screenshots showcased in thecredits. Finding these rooms is seldom required for100% completion in the games in which they appear.

Overview[edit]

The tradition of adding a HAL Room or other HAL-relatedEaster egg to aKirby game was first established inKirby's Adventure, and has since reoccurred in numerous games, though the formula would not be formalized and made a regular occurrence untilKirby Super Star Ultra. Generally speaking, the HAL Room is a separate room or zone within any givenlevel orstage which requires a bit of searching and/or patience to discover, and is often hidden behind an invisibledoorway. Other HAL-related secrets may be found within regular areas; hidden in background elements such as clouds, constellations, or other objects. HAL Rooms often contain extraCopy Essences and items, including randomly-obtained collectibles, but only in one case (that case being theNormal Challenge inNew Challenge Stages) is visiting a HAL Room required to obtain100% completion. The letters that make up "HAL" are also typically made up ofStar Blocks, with aBroom Hatter or other lone enemy placed upon the horizontal stretch of the "L".

There are three most common ways to discover a HAL Room, as follows:

• Reach the end of a room, then backtrack - This is the original way to find a HAL Room, and is used inKirby's Adventure,Kirby's Return to Dream Land, andKirby: Triple Deluxe, among others.
• Find a hidden doorway - These doorways are usually placed in front of celestial objects, such as themoon or PlanetPopstar. This is used inKirby's Return to Dream Land,Kirby: Triple Deluxe, andKirby Star Allies, among others.
• Wait 86 seconds - Waiting in a certain area for 86 seconds may cause a new doorway to appear. 86 is considered HAL's number, because in Japanese, it can be read as "ha-ru". This technique is used inKirby: Triple Deluxe,Kirby: Planet Robobot,Kirby Star Allies,Kirby and the Forgotten Land, andKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.

HAL Room locations[edit]

Kirby's Adventure /Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

InKirby's Adventure, the series' first HAL Room can be found inVegetable Valley - Stage 2. When theWarp Star is reached, Kirby has to go back to the left side of the screen to the precise point when the Warp Star disappears from view. After doing so, Kirby needs to go back toward it. If done correctly, the star will be gone, and Kirby will be able to proceed further right to reach the formation ofStar Blocks that spell out 'HAL', with aBroom Hatter sweeping on the L-letter blocks, a trend that appears in future games. Once Kirby returns to the left, the Warp Star will be there again.

The HAL Room is retained inKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. However, while it is still present in the stage data, it is not actually accessible; the game loads objects in a different manner, so it is no longer possible to make the Warp Star disappear. If this HAL Room is accessed by modifying the game data, it can be seen that the Broom Hatter is no longer there.

In the3D Classics version ofKirby's Adventure, it is still possible to access the HAL Room, but Kirby needs to venture a little bit further left toward the Shotzo firing at him before turning back.

Kirby: Canvas Curse[edit]

While not technically a "true" HAL Room, there is a related secret in Level 3, Stage 11 ofBlock Attack. By heading to the right from the goal and defeating aTopper, the player can continue to find more blocks, including indestructible blue blocks that spell out the HAL letters. Additional breakable blocks andMaxim Tomatoes can be found here.

Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

In theIllusion Islands stage ofRevenge of the King, there is astake that can be pounded along the route to the castle; this requires inhaling aRocky found earlier in the stage. Doing so uncovers afood item and a hidden entrance to another area. In this area, Kirby has to battleMr. Tick-Tock. After defeating him, Kirby can progress to the right, over a wall, and find the HAL logo in Star Blocks. Near the exit door, Kirby can get anInvincible Candy.

•

Kirby's Return to Dream Land[edit]

The first HAL Room can be found inCookie Country - Stage 4. After reaching the end of the first area, Kirby needs to walk all the way to the end of the screen, wait there a short moment, then head back the other way to find a pillar of land has moved downward to reveal a new doorway. Through this door is a walk to the HAL Room, which containsCopy Essences for theWing,Hammer,Fighter andNinja abilities. Breaking theStar Blocks that spell HAL also reveal items.

The second HAL Room can be found inEgg Engines - Stage 5. A series of conveyor belts at the end of the third room drop a number ofHalcandle Dees in front of Kirby and the normal door forward. However, if Kirby bypasses the door and heads up the conveyor belts, he can enter an obscure hole at the back of it to reach a series of cannon firings, and the HAL Room, again made of Star Blocks. The fourCopy Essences areLeaf,Whip,Water andSpear, all of which are abilities that were introduced inKirby's Return to Dream Land.

The music that plays in both of these HAL Rooms is the "Green Greens" theme used in theItem Challenge.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[edit]

In theNew Challenge Stages, a hidden doorway in theNormal Challenge leads to a room where the platforms unfold themselves slowly to spell out HAL (the red platform forms the H, the yellow platform forms the A, and the blue platform forms the L), and generate someScore Coins. This room plays the original version of "Green Greens", but may rarely play theKirby's Epic Yarn version instead.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

The first HAL Room inKirby: Triple Deluxe can be found inFine Fields - Stage 3. To unlock it, Kirby must go into the background of the second area and walk all the way to the right end, wait there a short moment, then return to the spot where he first entered to find a new3D Warp Star. Taking this star places Kirby in an area he couldn't get to before, where he must then walk to the left to find the HAL Room. This room containsCopy Essences forWing,Leaf,Fighter andWheel. If theStar Blocks are broken, they reveal aKeychain andfood. This HAL Room plays the title screen theme fromKirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, an arrangement of "Welcome to Dream Land".

The second HAL Room is found inRoyal Road - Stage 1. Following the fight againstGigant Edge, Kirby can find a secret area at the very right of the screen that contains somePoint Stars and aMaxim Tomato. If Kirby goes directly up from where the Maxim Tomato was and presses up in front of the moon, he enters an invisible door. The door leads to the HAL Room where the HAL blocks are split across the foreground and background in perspective, with the blocks in the background being larger than the ones in the foreground. There are alsoCopy Essences for the new abilities in this game:Circus,Beetle,Archer, andBell. It also contains aKeychain, another Maxim Tomato, and several1-Ups. This room plays "Spring Breeze: Title" fromKirby Super Star Ultra. When playingDededetour, this room contains aWarp Hole, so it is ideal forKing Dedede to enter it for a faster time.

The third and final HAL Room can be found inRoyal Road - Stage 5, in a special area where Kirby must contend with 3D Securitron Blocks that will box him in. In the third of the rooms, once the blocks stop extending, Kirby must wait next to the door for86 seconds, which will cause the blocks to retract followed by three more sets of blocks extending, in the shape of the letters H A and L. If Kirby survives this, another door will appear leading to the room. No special music plays in this room.

Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe[edit]

Though not a true HAL Room, at the end ofC-R-O-W-N-E-D (Reprise) inDedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, there are musical coins that spell out "HAL" instead of "DDD" in the normal version of the level.

• 
  King Dedede plays his tambourine below some musical coins that spell out "HAL".

Kirby Fighters Deluxe[edit]

Kirby Fighters Deluxe also features a HAL-related secret, but has no true HAL Room. When fightingKracko on Very Hard difficulty, the tiles onBubbly Clouds' floor read "HAL". This secret was compared to a HAL Room by the developers onMiiverse.

• 
  The Kirbys rest after defeating Kracko on top of the floor that reads "HAL".

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

The first HAL Room inKirby: Planet Robobot can be found inPatched Plains - Stage 3. At the very front of the train, Kirby must activate theWarp Star, but instead of riding it, he must then backtrack and find an area where he collected aCode Cube. There, a new 3D Warp Star will have appeared to take him into the background, where he will then find a door to another room. This room has a chute with some1-Ups in it, which is reward enough, but yet another secret passage can be found in this room, which will lead to the HAL Room in question. This room containsCopy Essences forJet,Hammer, andMirror, as well as aRandom Copy Essence and a Maxim Tomato. This room plays "Spring Breeze: Title" fromKirby Super Star Ultra.

The second HAL Room can be found inAccess Ark - Stage 1. After defeating the secondSecurity Force, a nook can be found on the wall beside the door to the next room. The nook leads to a big room containing two portraits ofPresident Haltmann. The right portrait has a tear in the top right corner, which Kirby can enter to reach the HAL Room. This particular HAL Room has very large Star Blocks andCopy Essences of the three new Copy Abilities introduced inPlanet Robobot (Doctor,ESP andPoison) as well as the elusiveSmash Bros. ability. This means this HAL Room also doubles as one of the 5Smash Bros. rooms, and is the only HAL Room to double as such. This HAL Room plays thetitle screen theme fromDedede's Drum Dash Deluxe.

The third and final HAL Room can be discovered inAccess Ark - Stage 4. At the very end, some extending walls will box Kirby in with the goal door. Instead of using this door, Kirby has to wait in this room for 86 seconds. After that time passes, another door will appear which will take Kirby to a room where more extending walls will spell out HAL. The music that plays here is the title screen theme forKirby 3D Rumble, an arrangement of "Welcome to Dream Land".

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe[edit]

Though not an actual HAL Room, inTeam Kirby Clash Deluxe, the letters HAL can appear on the crates that appear besidesMagolor's Shoppe once all weapons and armor have been purchased.

Kirby's Blowout Blast[edit]

Similarly,Kirby's Blowout Blast has no true HAL Room, but still has a HAL-related secret. As Kirby defeats each boss inSecret Path,Score Coins appear that spell out the letters "H", "A", and "L", after defeatingMasher,Kracko, andMega Masher respectively.

• 
  "H"
• 
  "A"

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

There are three HAL rooms inKirby Star Allies. They are as follows:

HAL Room locations inKirby Star Allies Story Mode
Level	Stage	Image	How to reach	Notes	Copy Essences
World of Peace: Dream Land	Fruity Forest		First, Kirby and his allies must walk all the way up to whereWhispy Woods is, but Kirby must not initiate the battle (walk up to where his canopy can be seen and the background music fades out). Then, Kirby must backtrack all the way to the beginning of the stage. A door will appear leading to the HAL Room.	The variation of theDedede's Drum Dash Deluxe title theme fromKirby's Blowout Blast plays in this HAL Room. It is titled "Secret Area: HAL Room (Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe)" onKirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack andNintendo Music. TheCopy Essences are fourCopy Abilities that make their first 3D appearance in theKirby series. At the end of this HAL Room, Kirby and his friends can activate theFriend Star, then use it against Whispy Woods.	Cook Suplex Cleaning Yo-Yo
Fortress of Shadows: Jambastion	Heavenly Hall		In the very last part of the escape, where large chunks of rock are falling down from the sky, Kirby and his friends will need to wait for 86 seconds. A door will then appear leading to the HAL Room. The HAL letters are formed usingElectro Saw guide wires.	No special music plays in this room.	None
Far-Flung Starlight Heroes	Jambandra Base		At the very end of the stage, Kirby and his friends can find a hidden door to this room above the stage exit by 'entering'Popstar as it appears in the background.	The original version of "Welcome to Dream Land" fromKirby's Dream Land plays in this room. TheCopy Essences plus theTootlebam enemy correspond to the newCopy Abilities introduced inKirby Star Allies. Breaking all the blocks that spell out 'HAL' in the room will cause new stone letters to appear, bringing items with them. This will also cause a stone plate ofThe Three Mage-Sisters to appear in the left passage (after they are unlocked as a Dream Friend starting with Version 4.0.0). This is the only HAL Room which can also be accessed inGuest Star ???? Star Allies Go!. If accessed in this mode, an extra set of threePower-Up Hearts can be obtained by breaking all of the blocks.	Artist Spider Staff

Additionally,Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! features special"Pseudo HAL Rooms" that appear when playing as certainDream Friends. These rooms feature the respective characters' English names written with Star Blocks, are often found by solving a difficult puzzle, and play a personalized theme song for each character.

Super Kirby Clash[edit]

Similarly to theKirby Fighters Deluxe example,Super Kirby Clash does not contain a true HAL Room, but still has a HAL-related secret. After purchasing all ofMagolor's gear at theShoppe, there is a random chance that the HAL letters will appear as clouds in the sky in either the Castle Village or Port Village. The secret was revealed in aSuper Kirby Clash Channel post on July 31st, 2020.

Kirby Fighters 2[edit]

As with previous spinoffs,Kirby Fighters 2 does not contain a true HAL Room. However, during the battle againstWaning Crescent Masked Dedede & Waxing Crescent Masked Meta Knight in the Final Chapter ofStory Mode: The Destined Rivals, stars forming the HAL letters may briefly twinkle in the sky of theStage of the Partners. This secret was shown in a Kirby JP Twitter post onMay 3, 2021.

There also exists a musical secret involving the music that plays on the Options menu. If the player waits on this menu for 86 seconds, the music changes from an arrangement of theSelect theme fromKirby: Nightmare in Dream Land to an arrangement of theStage Begin andForest/Nature Area themes fromKirby & The Amazing Mirror. This particular secret was shown off in a Kirby JP Twitter post onApril 15, 2021.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land /Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World[edit]

There are three HAL Rooms present inKirby and the Forgotten Land, as follows:

HAL Room locations inKirby and the Forgotten Land
Level	Stage	Image	How to reach	Notes	Copy Essences
Natural Plains	Rocky Rollin' Road		From the very end of the stage, instead of touching the cage, Kirby should jump up to the tree on the right side with the help of the metal blocks. Touching the glowing point will cause aTarget Switch to appear in the distant background in front of the large white building, as well as aRangerCopy Essence near the left bench of the plaza. Shooting the Target Switch with Ranger creates a block pathway into the distance, which Kirby will need to follow up to reach the HAL Room. It contains Copy Essences forIce,Hammer,Needle, andTornado.	The room itself features a sleepingAwoofy atop the "L", sinceBroom Hatter is not in this game. Notably, the position of the bridging block in the "A" has been shifted one space upward.	Hammer Ice Needle Tornado
Wondaria Remains	The Wondaria Dream Parade		In the room featuring aCar Mouth race track (which requires 05.555 seconds to get the gold medal), instead of driving as fast as possible, Kirby should cross the finish line when the timer is at 86 seconds. Doing so will make a water pond rise from the hole in the track, with the HAL letters formed by bushes andStar Coins.	The race car has the number 86 on its side, possibly a hint for how to access the HAL Room.	None
Redgar Forbidden Lands	Burning, Churning Power Plant		In the first area with the horizontalcrushers, Kirby must get to the end of the room, break the boxes in the crusher wall on the right, and climb up to enter the hidden "control room". From there, he must backtrack to the beginning of the stage, but should watch out for the sped-up crushers. If done correctly, a new path will appear on the right in the form of a ramp and line ofStar Coins leading to a longladder. Taking this path leads to the HAL Room, with the letters in the center of a large round room made of metal blocks. When Kirby breaks all of the surrounding blocks to reveal these letters, a vending machine appears (which has 860 cans in it) so that Kirby can useVending Mouth to bust the letters themselves.	The letters on the floor read "H-86 HALLAB1980", the year when HAL Laboratory was founded.	Crash Drill Ranger

In all three of these HAL Rooms, a medley plays based on the main menu themes forKirby Star Allies,Kirby Fighters 2, andSuper Kirby Clash, the three previous Nintendo SwitchKirby games. This medley is titled "Secret Area: HAL Room". The third HAL Room features a chiptune version of this medley.

•

Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World retains the three HAL Rooms already present in the Switch version, but adds one additional room inStar-Crossed World, making a grand total of four HAL Rooms.

HAL Room location inKirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World
Level	Stage	Image	How to reach	Notes	Copy Essences
Originull Wasteland	Wastes That Count Time		After reaching the end of the first area, Kirby needs to break the crystal containing a greenStarry Coin located behind theWarp Star. From there, he must backtrack to the beginning of the stage. If done correctly, a new path will appear on the left in the form of a spring that can be used viaSpring Mouth to reach a newly accessible ledge above. Taking this path leads to the HAL Room, where upon hittingStarryflowers around the room, crystal formations in the shape of the letters appear, withStarry Coins appearing in front of each letter. There is also a small Starryflower under the "H" that causes several Starry Coins to rain down from above when activated, and a shining spot inside the "A" that reveals a pile of Starry Coins under the letter.	The room itself features a sleeping CrystalPrimal Awoofy atop the "L". In this HAL Room, a medley called "Secret Area: HAL Room (Starry Ver.)" plays. This medley consists of parts of "Green Tree Memories from Kirby", "Welcome to the New World!", "TWINKLING STAR SHOWERS", and "Last Song".	Crash Drill Ranger

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

While not a HAL Room, inKirby's Dream Buffet, HAL cookies can be found in theFree Rolling mode and in everyrace. The HAL cookies inFree Rolling can be found scattered around the board, unlike the cookies found in the race courses. The H cookie can be found on the left side near the syrup wall. The A cookie can be found behind the Strawberry Mountain under acrate, and the L cookie can be found behind a wall of whipped cream on the right side of the board, where theKirby Star Allies cookie is.

  The H cookie

In addition, HAL cookies can be found in each of theRace tracks, though only on specific variants. The HAL cookies on the race levels are listed in the following table:

HAL cookies onRace courses inKirby's Dream Buffet
Course and Variant	Demonstration	Where is it?
Green variant ofBaumkuchen		At the part just before the final tube of Baumkuchen, there is a Baumkuchen ring that allows Kirbys to cross through the middle of it with a small bridge. When crossing this part, the player can spot HAL cookies spread out on the inner ring of the Baumkuchen.
Red variant ofCake Rolls		Late into the race, Kirby will encounter a yellow roll with two puddles of pudding on it. There are two paths he can take, but the left one has the HAL cookies. When Kirby reaches the red roll, he must jump off the left part of it to see behind the smaller rolls. Here the player can see three cookies on the top of the rolls that spell out "HAL". The other side of these cookies have arrows pointing forward instead.
Blue variant ofChocolate Fountain		At the very beginning of the race, Kirby must go behind the cut pancake on the left side of the first chocolate pool. Here he can find the HAL letters on the back of the pancake.
Blue variant ofDoughnuts		In the first section with the rolling wafer logs on the yellow doughnuts, some doughnuts can be found on the side of the second doughnut. The side doughnut on the right will have three vertical cookies spelling out "HAL".
Red variant ofHamburgers		After the large section with the sandwiches and a crumbling cookie wall Kirby can skip with acannon, there is a section with slowly-spinning burgers. On the side of the first burger, the HAL letters spelt in cookies can be found. This is better seen on the left side of the burger.
Yellow variant ofIce Cream		In the area with the blue and pink popsicles, a green large moving one can be found. By jumping off the course to the right of it, it is possible to spot some HAL cookies lining the bottom of the popsicle.
Red variant ofPancakes		After the part with the stacks of waffles with strawberries on them, and shortly before the cannon area, Kirby will cross a bridge of wafers and will find a pancake with a knife in it at the bend. Jumping on this pancake will reveal some HAL cookies stuck to the back of it.
		Directly after the previous HAL cookies, Kirby must travel past the spinning pancake and ignore the cannon. At the first pancake that acts similar to a saw going across the ground, Kirby must jump off the left side of where that pancake goes across. There he will find the HAL cookies lined across the filling of an ice cream sandwich.
Yellow variant ofShortcake		In the area after the second crumbling cookie wall, there is a bridge of cake with an outlet leading to five strawberries. By jumping off the stage from the opposite end of the outlet, it is possible to see some HAL cookies along with some crackers lining the bottom of the left wall.

Additionally, like inKirby Fighters 2, there is a musical secret involving the "Kirby's Ultra-Gourmet Memories" track. By waiting for 86 seconds, it will change from an arrangement of "Hidden Corkboard" to an 8-bit medley of "Kirby's Dream Buffet" and "Gourmet Race".

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe retains the two HAL Rooms already present in the original Wii version, but also adds two additional ones, making a grand total of four HAL Rooms. Three of these can be accessed inStory Mode andExtra Mode, while the last one is accessible only inMagolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler. They are as follows:

HAL Room locations inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
Level	Stage	Image	How to reach	Notes	Copy Essences
Cookie Country	Stage 4		After reaching the end of the first area, Kirby needs to walk all the way to the end of the screen, wait there a short moment, then head back the other way to find a pillar of land has moved downward to reveal a new doorway. Through this door is a walk to the HAL Room, which containsCopy Essences for theSand,Hammer,Mecha,Fighter,Ninja andWing abilities. Breaking theStar Blocks that spell HAL also reveal items.	A medley of tunes fromKirby's Dream Buffet plays in this room: "Green Greens Buffet", "Kirby's Dream Buffet", and "Love, Love, Alivel". It is titled "Secret Area: HAL Room (Kirby's Dream Buffet 1)" in theJukebox. Thedemo forKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe features a slightly different version of this room, which is also located in the demo's second stage due to the way the demo reorganizes parts of levels from the full version. In particular,Sword,Fire, Sand andWater are the only abilities that appear.	Sand Hammer Mecha Fighter Ninja Wing
Egg Engines	Stage 5		A series of conveyor belts at the end of the third room drop a number ofHalcandle Dees in front of Kirby and the normal door forward. However, if Kirby bypasses the door and heads up the conveyor belts, he can enter an obscure hole at the back of it to reach a series of cannon firings, and the HAL Room, again made of Star Blocks. The fourCopy Essences areLeaf,Whip,Water andSpear, all of which are abilities that were introduced in the original Wii version. In addition, twoTootlebams are present on both sides of the room, which grantFestival when swallowed.	Due to the absence ofScope Shot, thetitle screen theme from Scope Shot plays in this room instead.	Leaf Whip Water Spear
Dangerous Dinner	Stage 2		At the end of the hallway in the fifth area, if Kirby waits for86 seconds after reaching the door, all the other ceilings will open slightly. AnInvincible Candy is present, allowing Kirby to run backwards, plow through enemies, and access the secret room. The HAL Room this time is made of an outline of Ice Blocks, and aSuper Hot Head is present in the initial elevator ride, which allows Kirby to melt the blocks withMonster Flame to get Point Stars and a 1-Up.	Due to the absence of Scope Shot,Mecha Kawasaki'stheme from Scope Shot plays in this room instead. This HAL Room makes Stage 2 of Dangerous Dinner the only stage (excluding boss stages) inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe to have more than oneSuper Ability. This is also the only HAL Room to contain a Super Ability, that being Monster Flame.	None
Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler	Secret Stage in Pyred Dimension		The entrance is located in the Pyred Dimension portion of the hub, but it initially appears blocked off.The final stage of Locandra Dimension must be cleared first, then Magolor must hover to the top-left portion of the Locandra Dimension area. A new thin floor will appear in the bottom-right of the Pyred Dimension area, and Magolor can drop through to find a new door, which will put him through a smallCannon challenge withCrushers andKey Dees carryingMagic Points, before arriving at the HAL Room. The letters are now made of blocks which can only be disposed of with Magolor's Black Hole attack.	Another medley of tunes fromKirby's Dream Buffet plays in this HAL Room: "Super Battle Royale", "Buffet Trial" and "Working Up an Appetite". It is titled "Secret Area: HAL Room (Kirby's Dream Buffet 2)" in theJukebox. A Magic Energy potion is located to the left of the room. It constantly regenerates, allowing Magolor to use Black Hole as many times as he wants to clear the HAL Room's blocks. This HAL Room still counts as a stage, so any Magic Points collected will be saved upon completion. If Magolor hits every Key Dee on the way to the HAL Room and then destroys all the blocks and defeats the Broom Hatter with a single Black Hole, he will have at least 860 Magic Points at the end of the stage. Finishing the stage for the first time will also give Magolor an 860 point bonus.	None

Other appearances[edit]

Kirby 30th Anniversary official website[edit]

On the now-closedKirby 30th Anniversaryofficial website, the viewer could collect the letters H, A and L by interacting with specific parts of the website:

• H: The viewer had to choose all 30 Kirbys. Once done, a popup message acknowledging having chosen every Kirby would appear. Afterwards, the viewer could then scroll to the bottom of the page, and a new link would appear.
• A: The viewer had to scroll to the bottom of the page, then back to the top, and then back to the bottom again, which would cause a secret door to appear.
• L: The viewer had to wait without clicking or scrolling away for 86 seconds until theMoon map fromKirby's Dream Land appeared, and then click on the moon in the image.

When obtaining any of the three letters, the viewer would be sent to a page displaying which letters they had collected, featuring screenshots from many HAL Rooms through the series and showing how many people had visited said page. After collecting all three letters, the viewer would be sent to the same page with the new option of downloading a secret wallpaper featuring HAL Rooms throughout the series.

Trivia[edit]

The first known HAL Rooms in any game, not just theKirby series:

Stage 22 of Mode 3 ofKeisan Game Sansuu 4-nen, the first known HAL Room of any kind.

Field 17 of Mode 3 ofKeisan Game Sansuu 5~6-nen, the first known HAL Room featuring a lone enemy character.

• The first known HAL Room is not in anyKirby game, but is instead found in an educational game made for the Famicom, けいさんゲーム算数４年 (Keisan Game Sansuu 4-nen, or Calculation Game: Year 4 Arithmetic), published byTokyo Shoseki but developed by HAL Laboratory, as indicated in a hidden credits screen.^[1] Unlike the HAL Rooms found in theKirby series, this room is simply found by getting far enough in Mode 3 (the fraction arithmetic mode).
  • The second known HAL Room in turn is in another game in the same series, けいさんゲーム算数５・６年 (Keisan Game Sansuu 5~6-nen, or Calculation Game: Years 5-6 Arithmetic), from the same publisher. This room is accessed in the same way, in the fraction arithmetic mode as a normal stage of the game, but the HAL letters are upside down. Notably, this is the first HAL Room to feature a lone enemy character in the room (like the Broom Hatter inKirby HAL Rooms), in this case, a giant cricket.
• Outside of theKirby series and Famicom educational games, HAL Rooms are also found throughout theBOXBOY! series, including in threeBOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! stages.^[2]
• SinceKirby: Triple Deluxe, HAL Rooms often play a variation of "Welcome to Dream Land". Perhaps in reference to this, theKirby's Dream Collection arrangement of the theme is unlocked upon reachingGourmet Rank 86 inKirby's Dream Buffet.
