Well... Allow me to elaborate. In compliance with the business plan drafted by Star Dream... effective today, you are... terminated!
— President Haltmann inKirby: Planet Robobot

President Haltmann (full nameMax Profitt Haltmann) is a character inKirby: Planet Robobot, serving as the game's primary antagonist. He is the President of theHaltmann Works Company, even receiving the dignity of ananthem in his glory, and is responsible for the invasion ofPlanet Popstar and many worlds before it. He manages this invasion from the comfort of his executive suite on the Haltmann Works' flagship, the planet-sizedAccess Ark, powered by anancient relic which he refers to as theMother Computer.

InKirby: Planet Robobot, President Haltmann is not formally introduced until thefinal stage of the levelAccess Ark (though allusions to him exist prior to this point). He is faced as the finalboss of the level, engagingKirby using his "Executive Suit" (a large robot suit made of solid gold and covered in jewels). After Kirby defeats him, President Haltmann attempts to take revenge by activating the Mother Computer, but is sabotaged by his Executive AssistantSusie, inadvertently causing Haltmann's mind to merge with Star Dream's and causing the computer to go haywire. After Kirby andMeta Knight defeat Star Dream, President Haltmann is presumably destroyed along with it, and the invasion of Popstar comes to an end.

Physical appearance[edit]

Portrait of President Haltmann sitting in his hover chair fromAccess Ark - Stage 1, showing his large bulbous figure

President Haltmann is fairly large and egg-shaped, with pale skin, and disembodied hands and feet. He sports solid cyan eyes, a prominent brow, and purple hair and moustache. He wears a very dark indigo suit with a maroon tie and pink collar. He also sports a small golden radio piece on the side of his head. His gloves and body are adorned with gold-encrusted rubies. Similar toSusie's Business Suit, he has a solid gold mech named the Executive Suit. When not in the suit, he moves about by means of his hovering golden chair, which suggests a generally sedentary lifestyle, as he is never seen walking or even standing up.

Relation to Susie[edit]

Though not explicitly stated through dialogue, pause screen flavor text and additional details imply that Susie is meant to be President Haltmann's daughter, who managed to return to her native dimension after an incident involving Star Dream stranded her in a different dimension before the events ofKirby: Planet Robobot. Susie being the president's daughter was later confirmed outright in the "Ask-a-thon" event held onMiiverse, though other details about her past were left unanswered.[1] Despite this familial relation, Haltmann does not seem to recognize her anymore. It is explicitly stated in the Japanese and Korean texts that Haltmann "cast aside his heart and memories" for the sake of finding his daughter, which is simplified in other languages to merely "dedicating his life to the company".[2][3]

30-second clip of Haltmann's Boss theme fromKirby: Planet Robobot

 This box: view  talk  edit 

President Haltmann's likeness is first seen in Stage 1 ofAccess Ark, after Kirby has already boarded the mothership. He is later encountered directly at the end of that same level, in the Haltmann Works executive office. He dismissesSusie afterMecha Knight+ is defeated, and then proceeds to addressKirby directly. Haltmann then shows himStar Dream, explaining that they'd managed to reactivate it using the knowledge of lost ancient civilizations. He then mans a large mech made of pure gold, called the Executive Suit, and engages Kirby with it.

When he is defeated, he runs a tantrum, calling Kirby and his friends savages. In his rage, he turns to Star Dream and begins to activate it using a special helmet. As he boots it up, however, Susie steals the helmet from him, causing him to black out. As it turns out, Susie was aiming to betray Haltmann this entire time, and take Star Dream for herself. Star Dream itself then intervenes, knocking Susie out as well with a lightning bolt. Star Dream then uses Haltmann's body to declare that it will destroy all of history up to this point, in order to pave the way for "infinite prosperity".

At this point, it is explained, primarily through Pause Screen notes, that Haltmann's mind and soul have been intertwined with Star Dream's OS. The computer, having been granted sentience, decides to realize Haltmann's wish for "infinite prosperity" by eradicating all organic life. InThe True Arena,Star Dream Soul OS activates its "final program" and begins the process of erasing Haltmann's memories and soul. His voice can be heard throughout Star Dream Soul OS's final phase, crying out every time one of its parts is destroyed and one last time when its "heart" breaks.

Meta Knightmare Returns[edit]

President Haltmann is encountered at the end of the Access Ark stage, this time asPres. Haltmann 2.0. After his defeat at the hands ofMeta Knight,Star Dream appoints the victor as the new admin. Haltmann is not seen again after this point.

Other appearances[edit]

President Haltmann is encountered as a Boss inThe Arena, and his 2.0 form inThe True Arena. He is also seen again during thespecial performance video which is unlocked upon100% completion of the game.

Haltmann's likeness can be collected as asticker, which is awarded for collecting everyCode Cube in the game.

Boss Battle[edit]

- The Noble Haltmann -

— Vs. President Haltmann pause screen description

The following lists all of President Haltmann's attacks inKirby: Planet Robobot. Most of Haltmann's attack names listed are taken from the Japanese strategy guide, which mostly are related to office and business.

  • This is similar toSusie's Drillbit missiles.
オフィス・エグゼクティブローテート
Office Executive Rotate
Haltmann attaches to the central platform, and spins repeatedly around it, leaving two stars when the attack concludes. Four drones are deployed before the attack starts and will spin in sync with Haltmann.

Attacks - Phase 4
AttackDescription
リストラ・ショック
Restructuring Shock
After summoning two Yesmen into the arena, Haltmann jumps into the cube, and causes it to fire large beams outward. The third attack causes the cube to swivel before it commences.
  • Restructuring is a reorganizing of a company for the purpose of greater profit or efficiency. This may be done by firing employees.
  • Even the Yesmen are fired by the beams, ironically.
  • The lasers can be dodged by simplyhovering to the top of the stage.
オフィス・ストライク
Office Strike
Haltmann fires his mech like a drill into the cube, which causes him to warp after firing through. If Kirby is still on ground level afterwards, he will then crash into the ground and produce shockwaves and stars.

キックオフパーティ
Kickoff Party
Haltmann fires a multitude of drones, which bombard the arena in a large wave.
ミス・オフィサー
Ms. Officer
Haltmann launches his fourSusie-shaped drones, which home in on Kirby through the open holes of the giant cube in the arena's center and leave stars on impact. They can be swallowed for theSpark ability (orBomb ability if swallowed during explosion).
  • This is similar toSusie's Drillbit missiles.

In phase 4, Haltmann always starts with these attacks:

  • Restructuring Shock
  • Office Strike (charged) x2
  • Kickoff Party
  • Ms. Officer [1 set]
  • Ms. Officer [1 set]
  • Haltmann Cash
  • Office Strike x2

After that, he then attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:

  2. Office Strike (charged) x3
  3. Haltmann Cash
  4. Ms. Officer [1 set]
  5. Ms. Officer [1 set]

  7. Office Strike (charged) x3
  8. Ms. Officer [2 sets]
  9. Haltmann Cash
  10. Office Strike x2
  11. Ms. Officer [1 set]

Once Haltmann is defeated, he attempts to pilot his mech further, but it short-circuits and explodes on him, leaving him helpless in his chair, as singed Haltmann dollars rain down on him.

President Haltmann 2.0's attack orders across every phase in Meta Knightmare Returns and The True Arena are the exact same as those in the regular battle in Story Mode and The Arena.

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

The pause flavor text ofGuest Star Susie Extermination By Blaster❤ reconfirms that President Haltmann and his company have been destroyed during the events ofKirby: Planet Robobot.[4] Thus, he is deceased as ofKirby Star Allies. However, his portrait still makes some cameo appearances inKirby Star Allies:

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

InKirby's Dream Buffet, aCharacter Treat depicting President Haltmann can be collected. The treat uses the same artwork as the sticker fromKirby: Planet Robobot.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

InKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, there is aDress-Up Mask based on President Haltmann which replaces the wearer's voice with his voice clips fromKirby: Planet Robobot when worn. It is awarded upon completing card #45 in theStamp Rally.

Music[edit]

Main article:The Noble Haltmann
Main article:Crazy Rolling in Money

President Haltmann is often associated with these musical themes:

  • "The Noble Haltmann" - The anthem of his company in his own glory. His boss battle Special Page shows verse 1 of its lyrics. The song is performed bySusie several times during the course ofKirby: Planet Robobot, and the full version can be heard in the100% completion bonus movie.
  • "Crazy Rolling in Money" - His boss battle theme with shifting tempo.

Trivia[edit]

Magolor's concept art from theKirby Art & Style Collection that heavily resembles President Haltmann.
  • Haltmann's voice features abitcrush effect in-game; it is noticeably lower-quality than the voices of most other characters. This trait is shared bySusie andSectonia Clone. However, theDress-Up Mask based on Haltmann inKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe does not feature a bitcrush effect for its voice.
  • TheInvader Armor,Robobot Armor, andSword Hero'sHaltonium Helm are made of a "Haltonium alloy", named after Haltmann himself.
  • InKirby: Art & Style Collection, a section depicting concept art forMagolor includes early designs for his "normal" and "evil" forms, each of which feature various details that would be incorporated into Haltmann's design. Both designs feature an egg-like body, a large mustache, upwards-pointing tufts of hair on the back of the head, and gloved, disembodied hands, the early version of "normal" Magolor features blue skin and eyes and mitten-like hands, and the early version of "evil" Magolor features a similarly-shaped handlebar mustache.
  • The name "Haltmann" may be a reference to Halman from3001: The Final Odyssey. This character is the result of a fusion ofman andmachine, similar to the fusion between Haltmann andStar Dream, which itself has similarities to HAL 9000.
  • The color and style of his hair and moustache bear an uncanny resemblance to that of theKirby: Right Back at Ya! character,Sir Ebrum.

I’d had in mind two story paths - one in which you finish the game and the story concludes comfortably even without knowing Susie’s identity, and one that reveals more answers after you sink a lot of time into the game. But in Planet Robobot, the story is designed with just a small twist to surprise you when you find out Susie’s last name." –Shinya Kumazaki (Kirby: Planet Robobot Behind the Scenes onMiiverse)
