Monsieur Goan is a skilled chefmonster who appears in theKirby: Right Back at Ya! episodeA Spice Odyssey. He is sent byNight Mare Enterprises to helpKing Dedede build a fancy restaurant inCappy Town in order to both runChef Kawasaki out of business and to trick theCappies into eatingKirby. Kirby ends up defeating Monsieur Goan with the help of Chef Kawasaki using theToxic Atomic Curry to burn him and his restaurant down.

Characteristics[edit]

Monsieur Goan is initially a small bean-shaped orange creature with similar physique to Chef Kawasaki. He sports thick blonde eyebrows and a mustache along with opaque glasses. He wears a striped red and white jumpsuit with a blue club tie and a chef's hat. He wears pink gloves and has purple feet. While he is only ever described as "foreign", he most likely comes from a culture analogous to France, due to his language and the nature of the dishes he serves. Monsieur Goan is an expert chef, able to produce food that makes the residents ofDream Land euphoric when they taste it. He has a secret recipe which can even hypnotize those who eat his food.

Monsieur Goan has a second form, which he assumes when he is ready to battle. He transforms into a giant sausage-shaped monster with three pairs of arms; each of which carries a different cooking implement. Notably, one of his arms carries an electric whisk which plugs into his hat. Each arm is capable of extending great distances, making fighting him tricky, even with theCookCopy Ability. Monsieur Goan is ultimately weak to fire, though he is not defeated by theFire ability, but instead by Kirby's heartburn after eating Chef Kawasaki's curry.

Role in A Spice Odyssey[edit]

Main article:A Spice Odyssey

Monsieur Goan is sent to King Dedede by Night Mare Enterprises in order to help him establish a rival restaurant toKawasaki's in Cappy Town. Upon its completion, all the Cappies flock to the new restaurant as the food Monsieur Goan prepares is far superior to and cheaper than that of Kawasaki's, or of any of their home cooking. This prompts Chef Kawasaki to resort to making his food extremely spicy to compete.

At the peak of the spice wars between the two restaurants, Monsieur Goan reveals his special sorbet, doused with a special ingredient that dyes it pink and coaxes the eater to crave more pink round things. After a few rounds of this sorbet, the residents of Cappy Town become eager to eat Kirby, and Goan uses this opportunity to transform into his monstrous form to attack the pink puffball. Chef Kawasaki tosses Kirby his frying pan to help, butCook Kirby is still no match for Goan and is defeated. Goan then tosses Kirby into a dry ice bowl to freeze him to death, but Kawasaki returns with his Toxic Atomic Curry and throws it to Kirby. After eating this, Kirby immediately thaws out and spits flames at Monsieur Goan, setting him ablaze and defeating him, destroying the restaurant in the process.

Trivia[edit]

• Monsieur Goan tends to say, "Oui, ça va?" in the Japanese version, which can be translated from French as "Yes, all right?". Because of this,King Dedede andEscargoon believe Monsieur Goan to be lying about his age, since "Ça va" dubiously sounds like the Japanese "Saba," which means young.
• In the episode, the term "Monsieur" is not pronounced correctly by a lot of characters, withCaptain Waddle Doo being the only one who says it correctly.
