Kirby's Return to Dream Land any%

[@nonawax2079]

I love to see these.
0:29 Meta Knight is used to carry Kirby before getting fire
2:27 I think multiple controllers are used here to keep up with the BPM of the music? Making the sound has a cooldown
3:32 Team Attack miniboss
7:58 Whispy fight with Meta Knight sacrifice (don't have to worry about being inhaled like this)
15:10 Meta Knight is used to skip the end lag from the cannon
15:37 Meta Knight takes the key and Kirby teleports him along
17:14 Yellow Kirby is used to skip the Super Blade Knight cutscene, I'm assuming. The switch to Yellow Kirby from Meta Knight was deliberate, so I'm guessing the cutscene can be skipped because the game is designed to give other Kirby players a chance to get the ability, only activating when all Kirby players are present.
18:17 Dooter fight with Team Attack. Seems like starting boss fight cutscenes takes longer when players are offscreen, spending a bit making them run into view, so that's why Yellow also slide kicks here. All players are dismissed afterward to avoid the dance cutscene taking the time to teleport everyone into position.
19:26 A little more musical controller fun
20:22 And more where that ^ came from
26:17 Yellow Kirby is used to make going through the puzzle faster.
26:47 Team Attack miniboss
27:22 The players from the miniboss are used to get through the puzzle faster.
33:59 Fatty Puffer fight with Team Attack. Like last time, everyone gets dismissed after the fight. With a side of musical controllers!
35:15 Doing the percussion as well. I'm probably going to miss a few of these sections, though.
36:15 Yellow Kirby is summoned to go through the door quicker and spit Kirby past the cannon.
39:29 Team Attack miniboss
42:25 Yellow Kirby grabs the Balloon Bomb and gets teleported along to the miniboss. They inhale the boss after defeating it to get past the area quicker.
45:21 Yellow Kirby enters the room because it's a bit faster (I would think,) and they're needed for a trick. They teleport to Kirby, clipping into the wall a bit, enabling them to inhale the Key on the other side.
46:17 Using Dive Bomb against the ceiling temporarily clips you into the ceiling for a bit, and if done while a player is about to finish teleporting, they will spawn inside the wall and be pushed upward.
46:45 Yellow Kirby grabs the key and is teleported along.
47:29 Goriath fight with Team Attack. Personally I'm surprised you can jump and team attack..
52:25 Team Attack miniboss
56:59 Team Attack miniboss
58:03 Blue Kirby enters the door because Kirby is busy using their dash attack. Team Attack miniboss. I find the way all three of them jump off at once interesting..
58:25 This whole set of clips. Went over the Dive Bomb bit at 46:17, looks like jumping off another player clips you into the ceiling a bit and puts you in inhale range of the other player, and then repeat that until you've skipped basically the entire level. (I know you have a video of just this set of clips somewhere, too, but I dunno, I enjoy commenting about it!)
59:38 Musiiic
59:48 Grand Doomer fight with Team Attack. I like how you formed into the totem here.
1:00:27 I guess Green and Blue aren't needed anymore. I'm not sure if Yellow is manipulating where the Grand Doomer strikes or if the corners of the screen are a boss' eternal weakness. I do know that Yellow is used to take the required Super Ability while not risking the loss of Wing.
1:02:25 Attempting to mimic an ominous tuba
1:05:45 Two Dive Bomb clips
1:06:11 It took me a bit to understand this, but since Yellow Kirby gets used for more tricks later and it takes a few frames to summon players, it's faster to keep them around. Having them piggyback means you don't have to worry as much about them or their health.
1:07:02 I don't know why Blue Kirby is here, but Dive Bomb clip. Maybe it's to beat a cycle on the Dubior in the next room? Since Green Kirby is the only one left that needs to be added, less time lost during the fight.
1:07:26 Team Attack miniboss. Blue jumps off and does the final attack to destroy the last of the boss.
1:09:21 Team Attack minibosses
1:16:59 Metal General fight with Team Attack.
1:23:33 Yellow Kirby grabs the Crackler so it can be used against Super Bonkers.
1:29:13 Landia fight with Team Attack.
1:33:04 Second Lor phase done with two Kirbys taking turns with Spiral Dragon (I had to look up some of these attack and item names..)
1:33:56 Magolor fight!
