- This article is about theboss form of the crown. For the crown as an object, seeMaster Crown.
| “ | Those who wear theMaster Crown willgain power, butso will the darkness in their hearts. Thanks to the red fruit, it's become a wrathful wreath—a destroyer called thetree crown without a ruler! | ” | — VS Master Crown Phase 1 Special Page fromKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
TheMaster Crown serves as the final boss ofMagolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. Here, the crown has taken possession of thered fruit that Magolor had assembled at theEthereal Altar, after its pieces were initially incorporated intoCrowned Doomer. Using the power of the fruit, the Master Crown turns into a gigantic tree-like entity, which floats in the background for the majority of the fight. The crown sits where the trunk of the tree meets the teal-colored canopy, with a single eye surrounded by fragments of the red fruit. The crown wraps around the tree's trunk and branches, with two large limbs forming arms. Two other large limbs also form the top of two wing-like structures made of leaves that fade from green to purple.
The Master Crown is also faced as the penultimate opponent inThe True Arena, where Kirby and other characters can fight it.
Attacks[edit]
The following are all of the Master Crown's attacks. Most attack names listed are from official Japanese strategy guides, while others are conjectural and are marked with an *:
Phase 1[edit]
| Master Crown's attacks inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe | ||
|---|---|---|
| Attack | Description | Notes |
| 異空の根 Otherworldly Roots | The Master Crown creates 1-3 rifts, out from which its roots strike the stage in various patterns, creatingDropped Stars on impact in The True Arena. While the roots are out, they can be attacked to damage the Master Crown, being one of the only ways to hit it. In the second phase, the roots get larger and cover more area. | |
| Forbidden Malus Pumila* | The Master Crown creates two large Gem Apple bombs that drop from rifts onto the arena. They slowly grow larger until they detonate in a big explosion, but can be attacked to destroy them before this happens. The explosion cannot be guarded. Kirby can swallow these using a Super Inhale to gain theBomb ability. | The official name of this attack is unknown; the conjectural name is based on that of "Forbidden Grand Malus Pumila" (see below). |
| ダフネの絶叫 Daphne's Scream | The Master Crown shoots a laser from its eye that sweeps the ground, and then causes the entire floor to explode, hitting players within a certain range at the moment of impact and leaving stars behind in The True Arena. As soon as the explosion happens, the music temporarily lowers in volume, accompanied with a high-pitched tone. | "Daphne" (literally "laurel" in Greek) isa nymph in the Greek myth ofApollo and Daphne that describes Daphne's transformation into the laurel tree. Pursued by Apollo, Daphne lets out a desperate cry for help to her river god father to transform her rather than continue to be the object of undesired affection. The name of the attack may refer to this outcry of Daphne, which gave origin to the laurel tree. This attack is almost identical to the oneHR-D3 uses. |
| 双葉の舞 Dance of the Double-Edged Leaves | The Master Crown creates two groups of two large spade-shaped leaf projectiles on both sides and then fires them one at a time to its target from the background. Kirby can swallow these using a Super Inhale to get theLeaf Copy Ability. | |
| Seed Attack* | The Master Crown drops four small seeds from above, which grow into narrow damaging vines shortly after being planted. In the second phase, eight seeds are dropped. | This attack is nearly identical to the oneMarx uses inKirby Super Star. |
| Second phase only | ||
| 憎悪と執念のミストルティン Mistilteinn of Hatred and Obsession | The Master Crown flares up and creates a huge spread of unguardable lasers from its eye that start to sweep the ground. There are several different waves of lasers to dodge, some of which are double-waves. In The True Arena, stars are left behind after the final wave of lasers passes. | Mistilteinn is a Norse word that translates to "mistletoe", a parasitic plant which grows on trees, and in particular apple trees. This attack is similar in name and execution toVoid Termina's "Crown of Evil and Obsession" (巨悪と執念の冠). "Hatred and obsession" is also used to describe the Master Crown onMagolor Soul's Extra ModeSpecial Page. |
| 双葉乱舞 Wild Dance of the Double-Edged Leaves | The Master Crown creates two groups of four large spade-shaped leaf projectiles on both sides and then fires them one at a time to its target from the background. Kirby can swallow these using a Super Inhale to get the Leaf ability. | |
| 禁断のグラン・マルス・プミラ Forbidden Grand Malus Pumila | The Master Crown drops a single extra-large Gem Apple Bomb that takes more hits to remove but takes a longer time to explode. The explosion cannot be guarded and damages everything on-screen, including summoned Doomers. As soon as it explodes, the music temporarily lowers in volume, accompanied with a high-pitched tone. Kirby can swallow the bomb before it explodes using a Super Inhale to gain the Bomb ability. | Malus pumila is the scientific name for the common apple tree. The name of the attack alludes to theforbidden fruit, the fruit of thetree of the knowledge of good and evil that grows in theGarden of Eden which is commonly depicted as an apple. |
| Doomer Call* | The Master Crown calls inDarpas,Dippas,Dupas, and/orDeppas from rifts. These opponents have much more health than their regular counterparts, and are worth manyMagic Points if defeated before they vanish in Magolor Epilogue. | |
| 王亡き帰還 Return Without a Ruler | The Master Crown teleports away, and then falls onto the arena from above, its huge shadow serving as a warning area. After crashing into the stage, after a moment, it digs deeper in, hitting anyone who isn't airborne. The Master Crown can be attacked directly while it is doing this attack. In The True Arena, this attack makes Dropped Stars appear both upon the initial landing and after the second crash. | |
| 双葉円舞 Waltz of the Double-Edged Leaves | The Master Crown creates a big ring of sixteen leaf projectiles, then tosses them toward the stage in a sweeping manner. After passing by once, the leaves then bombard the stage from above, aiming for the player's current position. Kirby can swallow these using a Super Inhale to get the Leaf ability. | This attack is similar to the Energy Showers thatGalacta Knight uses in his battles, as well asCrowned Doomer's similarly named Energy Shot Shower. |
Phase 2[edit]
| “ | To free the tree andbring an end to the destruction... To takeresponsibility forhis wicked ways... Withall of his magic infused into the sword, he must strike! Magolor mustatone for his misdeeds! | ” | — VS Master Crown Phase 2 Special Page fromKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe |
Once enough damage has been done in the Magolor Epilogue, Magolor finishes the Master Crown off using his version of the Ultra Sword, which he obtains for the first time by powering up a nearby sword on the battlefield. To help Magolor cleave through this foe, the player needs to shake their controller or mash directions on the Control Stick for an extended period of time, similar to Kirby's mash against Magolor in Story Mode. If the player does not mash fast enough, Magolor will lose some health and then, assuming he hasn't run out of health at this point, try to strike again.
This phase is skipped inThe True Arena, with the Master Crown instead crashing down and leaving a massive explosion in its wake in the background.
Trivia[edit]
- During the Master Crown's boss battle, its eye can be seen following Magolor (or any of the other playable characters)'s movement.
- Fighting the Master Crown as a Kirby without Copy Abilities inThe True Arena is the only way one can inhaleDupas andDeppas. This reveals that Deppas are internally coded aslarge enemies and require a Super Inhale to swallow.
