- This article is about the boss fromKirby: Triple Deluxe, and should not be confused withDrawcia,Claycia, orVividria.
| “ | There was once apainting said to depict apair of sisters separated at birth. It slept, unnoticed, in a painter's studio for countless years before itcame to life andvowed revenge on the world. | ” | — Kirby: Triple Deluxe Boss description |
Paintra is a boss making her debut inKirby: Triple Deluxe. She resembles a witch, but is in fact a living painting, brought to life by the magic power ofTaranza. Paintra bears a colorful outfit, complete with two paintbrushes for feet, and attacks by spreading paint, firing energy blasts, and painting pictures that come to life to attack her enemies, much likeAdo andAdeleine from previous games would. Paintra is the boss ofTriple Deluxe's second Level,Lollipop Land, and she is also battled inThe Arena and inStage 4 ofRoyal Road.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]
| “ | This time, I'm introducing Paintra, the boss of Level 2: Lollipop Land. When Kirby chases Taranza into a workshop, he comes across a forgotten painting in there, which is said to depict a pair of sisters separated at birth. The painting is brought to life as Paintra and starts attacking Kirby. Paintra can turn her body into a paintbrush and splatter paint all over Kirby. She’ll even splatter paint on the screen so you can’t see what’s going on! She also has the ability to make drawings come to life. Don’t forget that you can see descriptions of the bosses if you pause the game during battle! | ” | — Satoshi Ishida,Miiverse post on 06/18/2014 9:21 AM |
When entering Paintra's boss room,Taranza, who is running away fromKirby, finds a painting. He uses his magic on it and leaves, while Kirby enters the scene, only to watchPaintra come to life, and the battle begins.
The following lists all of Paintra's attacks in Story Mode andThe Arena inKirby: Triple Deluxe. Most attack names are taken from official Japanese strategy guides while others are conjectural.
| Paintra's attacks | |
|---|---|
| Attack | Description |
| 魔力球 Magic Spheres | Paintra fires three or more orbs of energy in a set path that can be inhaled and spat back at the boss. Paintra will do this move twice in succession in the second phase, usually after a Painting View. |
| ペインティングビュー Painting View | Paintra flies into the foreground, painting the screen in various patterns, often making it more difficult for the player to see what is happening on the screen. This technique breaks the fourth wall. More patterns are available in the second phase. |
| Brush Swipe[conjectural title] | Paintra approaches Kirby and swipes twice with her paintbrush feet in large arcs, producing stars on the second swipe. She will then re-position and attempt this move again. |
| ペイント弾 Paint Bullet | Paintra flies into the background, and starts spinning rapidly, releasing six globs of paint that can be inhaled and spat back at an appropriate time. She then finishes by splatting four globs of paint on the screen. |
| Paint Barrage[conjectural title] | Paintra spins in place and fires rapid bursts of paint toward the ground, making stars erupt from the impact spot. She then re-positions and fires again. |
| グライドアタック Glide Attack | Paintra flies into the background and attempts to ram Kirby in a dive. This creates stars where she touches the stage. |
| Second phase only | |
| トリックペイント Trick Paint | Paintra summons a number of blank canvases, then paints various objects on them, which then pop off the canvas and deal various effects. One of the paintings is a fake and will not do anything, and in fact can often be inhaled and spat back at Paintra. The following are objects that Paintra can paint:
|
| ハイド&シーク Hide & Seek | Paintra summons a giant canvas sheet to cover the background and flies behind it. Paintra will then attempt to ram Kirby through the canvas a number of times, once or more. |
Upon defeat, Paintra is sucked back into the painting she came from, then the painting shatters with her inside. InThe Arena, she instead explodes after she twitches her body for a while with a hurt expression; this animation is also reused for Paintra DX.
Paintra DX[edit]
| “ | Born from aforgotten painting made by a mysterious brush, Paintra DX has come to take herrevenge. One must wonder if thepainter who created her regrets giving her form. | ” | — Kirby: Triple Deluxe Boss description |
Paintra DX is fought inDededetour and inThe True Arena. In this appearance, Paintra DX has a notably darker color scheme, with her sporting a black, twisted hat resembling a witch's, purple hair, a red and purple garb, among others.
Paintra DX's attack patterns are made more complex, including firing seven Magic Spheres instead of three. She can also paint a streak of paint in the center of the screen before doing the Trick Paint attack in the second phase, making it more difficult for the player to see the hazards coming from each painting. Paintra DX also gains a new attack where she starts to spin and sweep across the arena.
InDededetour, instead of being brought to life byTaranza, Paintra DX awakens without additional aid.
The following lists all of Paintra DX's attacks in Dededetour andThe True Arena. Note that the attack names are taken from Japanese strategy guides where applicable:
| Paintra DX's attacks | |
|---|---|
| Attack | Description |
| 魔力球 Magic Spheres | Paintra DX fires seven orbs of energy in a set path that can be inhaled and spat back at the boss. Paintra will do this move twice in succession in the second phase, usually after a Painting View. |
| ペイント弾 Paint Bullet | Paintra DX flies into the background, and starts spinning rapidly, releasing twelve globs of paint that can be inhaled and spat back at an appropriate time. She then finishes by splatting six globs of paint on the screen. |
| Brush Swipe[conjectural title] | Paintra DX approaches Kirby or Dedede and swipes four times with her paintbrush feet in large arcs, producing stars on the final swipe. She will then re-position and attempt this move again. |
| ペインティングビュー Painting View | Paintra DX flies into the foreground, painting the screen in various patterns, often making it more difficult for the player to see what is happening on the screen - a lot more than in Story Mode and The Arena. This technique breaks the fourth wall. More patterns are available in the second phase. |
| Paint Barrage[conjectural title] | Paintra DX spins in place and fires rapid bursts of paint toward the ground, making stars erupt from the impact spot. She then re-positions and attempts this move two more times. |
| グライドアタック Glide Attack | Paintra DX flies into the background and attempts to ram Kirby or Dedede in a dive. This creates stars where she touches the stage. |
| Second phase only | |
| ハイド&シーク Hide & Seek | Paintra DX summons a giant canvas sheet to cover the background and flies behind it. Paintra will then attempt to ram Kirby or Dedede through the canvas four times. |
| トリックペイント Trick Paint | Paintra DX summons a number of blank canvases, then paints various objects on them, which then pop off the canvas and deal various effects. One of the paintings is a fake and will not do anything, and in fact can often be inhaled and spat back at Paintra DX. The following are objects that Paintra DX can paint:
This attack is often used while Painting View is still active - the only exception is if Paintra DX paints three copies of herself. |
| Circling Brush[conjectural title] | Paintra DX starts to spin around in the background and then comes to the stage and circles it back to forth once. She then goes into the foreground and tries to ram into Kirby or Dedede, throwing out paint in the process, before finishing with a Glide Attack. |

Kirby Air Riders[edit]
InKirby Air Riders, Paintra appears as one of the route characters inMega-Blossom Meadow in theRoad Trip mode, protecting the rider fromLovely by painting the road rainbow, which defeats Lovely and allows the rider to continue towardsPrism Overpass. She is also depicted as an Icon and Sticker for the player'sLicense Card, which can be unlocked on the Road TripChecklist by clearing theRide over dash zones 30 times andKeep a Star Slide going for 4 consecutive sec. objectives respectively.
Trivia[edit]
- It is hinted that Paintra might beDrawcia's sister due to them both having paint-based moves, Paintra's description stating that she and her sister were separated at the time of their birth, and them both having a similar appearance and name. This was seemingly confirmed in the booklet included withKirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack, where sketches of Drawcia and Paintra are seen on a page showing concept art forVividria and labelled as "姉様" (ane-sama), meaning "elder sister".
