This phantom in the form of Tropic Woods has grown mysteriously strong under the illusory sunlight of Forgo Dreams. Do you think its coconuts are illusions too? Wonder what they taste like...
— Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land

Phantom Tropic Woods, titledIllusory Fronds, is a more powerful illusory form ofTropic Woods which appears as theboss ofForgo Bay inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition, and can also be fought in The Ultimate Cup Z and The Ultimate Cup Z EX in theColosseum. Phantom Tropic Woods looks and fights largely the same as its real counterpart, but has a different color scheme, with bright purple and magenta accents, particularly on its foliage.

Attacks[edit]

Phantom Tropic Woods has all of the same attacks as its normal counterpart, though some have different properties, and it also sports a few new ones. It also has morehealth than Tropic Woods, having 2,000 HP inForgo Bay and 1,400 HP inThe Ultimate Cup Z. It transitions to the second phase when its health is at 50% or lower. It takes 0.2X damage during phase transitions and takes 0.8X damage during the entire second phase.[1]

The following are all of Phantom Tropic Woods' attacks (attack names are from theKirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide).

Forgo Bay and The Ultimate Cup Z[edit]

Phantom Tropic Woods' attacks from Forgo Bay and The Ultimate Cup Z inKirby and the Forgotten Land  
AttackDescriptionNotes
トロピカルココナッツ落とし
Tropical Coconut Drop
Phantom Tropic Woods drops large coconut boulders from its canopy. The coconuts impact the sand and then explode after a moment, leaving aDropped Star behind, and can be inhaled with enough time.
ゴルドー落とし
Gordo Drop
Alongside coconuts,Gordos can also be brought down from Phantom Tropic Woods' canopy. The Gordos bounce after dropping, and linger for a moment.
はじける空気弾
Bursting Air Bullet
Phantom Tropic Woods breathes in and spits out threeAir Bullets at its target in succession, traveling forward to Kirby's exact location on ground level before dispersing and creating a ring of small bullets that spread outward.The air bullets can destroy the dropped coconuts.
Second phase only  
フェンスメイズチャレンジ
Fence Maze Challenge
Phantom Tropic Woods first roars, pushing Kirby all the way to the back of the arena. Then it brings up an entire maze of fences that hem Kirby in and create lots of Dropped Stars. While the walls are up, Gordos will continually rain down from the canopy. There is a path through the maze to Phantom Tropic Woods. If Kirby doesn't make it to Phantom Tropic Woods after a while, then all the fences automatically retract. The fences also retract after Phantom Tropic Woods gets attacked a few times.This attack always comes out first in the second phase.
南国スクスク大成長
Tropical Growing Great Growth
Phantom Tropic Woods sends out four large snaking roots with 120 HP each that tunnel through the earth and fence Kirby in, creating Dropped Stars whenever they pierce the ground. These can be destroyed by attacking them. If not destroyed, they will eventually be withdrawn and will always do so if Tropic Woods does its "Fence Maze Challenge" attack.This attack always comes out second in the second phase.
スーパートロピカルブレス
Super Tropical Breath
Phantom Tropic Woods breathes out a huge wall of Air Bullets that spread out in an arc. Kirby cannot avoid this by jumping over or dodging through on ground level, so he needs to stand on Phantom Tropic Woods's roots to gain enough height to jump over the bullets as they pass through.This attack always comes out third in the second phase.
トロピカルブレス
Tropical Breath
Phantom Tropic Woods breathes in and lets out two waves of air bullets that travel in arcs.
フェンスウォール
Fence Wall
Phantom Tropic Woods brings up a large metal fence to guard part of its trunk, causing two Dropped Stars to appear on the sides when it pops up and knocking close attackers away. Attacks toward the fence will be deflected. The fence drops down after a while, typically being redeployed in a new position soon thereafter. If positioned right, Kirby can stand on or dodge over the fence.

When fought in Forgo Bay and The Ultimate Cup Z, in phase 1, Phantom Tropic Woods attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:

  1. Gordo Drop and Tropical Coconut Drop
  2. Bursting Air Bullet x2

In phase 2, Phantom Tropic Woods always starts with these attacks:

  1. Fence Maze Challenge
  2. Tropical Growing Great Growth
  3. Super Tropical Breath

After that, it mostly attacks in a random order.
