It is, but there's a way more effective method for defense. If you have the hammer powerup and do a dash attack at the enemy, you have invincibility frames while you pass through the enemy, so you can attack while also being perfectly protected. You also go a bit slower when you use the dash attack, so you can direct your character anywhere. You can also use the dash attack ability for dodging the paint balls that Marx throws, and that's usually how I dodge them. Oh, I and I have the 8th fastest time on record for the True Arena as of today.
Been playing this game again because I never beat it's True Arena. If I can beat Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot's True Arenas, I think I can beat Super Star Ultra's True Arena no problem.
@tpayer033 Pretty sure it did damage in og super star too. And that's just the earliest instance I can remember. Tho the fire doing damage is harder to notice since it was automatically released.
So basicly, the mechanics to hammer is rediculous. While in dash b, you are invinsible for the duration and the up b is one of the highest damage dealing moves in the game (which of course is suplex, having the highest damage move).
[4yo reply is 4yo but IDGAF] Actually Hammer Flip deals more damage, with Suplex's attacks being the immediate second. Hammer Flip's damage can reach a hundred(!) while every Suplex move (sparing the Down-B, which deals 10pts) deals 70pts.
I will always remember the first time I beat the True Arena. It was 2 am on Christmas morning, and I couldn’t sleep for obvious reasons. So I popped in Super Star Ultra and after several attempts, I finally beat it. Somehow, I did it without waking my dog up.
man, every time i played this i didn't used the guard or the invincible hammer attack in that way. I learned to beat this without them and i feel kinda fool and op at the same time
3:29.89 is my record. That is in fact the record on Cyberscore. Wouldn't be surprised if it were the best proven record as of now. So much luck involved.
Mine is 4:38. Too bad that I couldn't record it, my Emulator was having a brain-fart that day. I use Fraps, the thing locks-on constantly saving random screenshots with no way to do anything. I use the built-in Movie, game crashes. Ugh.
Imagine if The True Arena was in the original Kirby Super Star? (And the other ones like helper to hero and revenge of king Dedede) that would be so awesome!
6:01 Up to this point, I KNEW who the Secret Final Boss was. When I saw *ONE LEFT*, I freaked out. I memorized his face, and it looked familiar. So I made a comparison with the creature’s face and a familiar face. And that’s when I knew....it was Marx. He had a wider mouth, a tongue sticking out, and I thought either Gooey was secretly a villain and thought of this plan all along, or King Boo would have been behind this. Turns out neither were right. Remember how Marx got killed by Kirby cuz he sent him to Nova? Well..... Btw, his attacks and Drawcia’s attacks are similar, and it looks similar cuz Marx is KINDA looking at the player..? It’s hard to tell since he’s so derpy. I was afraid at first, but when I saw the derpy face still there, I was laughing so hard that I was crying. Well, it didn’t scare me THAT much, but when it went to the *ONE LEFT* screen, I IMMEDIATELY turned down the volume cuz creepy music. I also thought he would have different music, but turns out, no. It would have been cool, though, like it would be more of a surprise, but no. I also didn’t expect his scream. Now every time I beat or SEE someone beat Marx Soul, I’ll turn down my volume.
Ok I have to make two points here. One: Hammer has always been my favorite weapon throughout the game because of how much damage it causes and tbh it looks pretty badass (in a cute way). So when they recommended the hammer for the true arena I KNEW it was gonna be hard. Two: Many other gameplays of the true arena that I've seen are very slow, which I can understand but it feels more exciting when you are fast at defeating the bosses. The point of me saying this is that your way of playing is so similar to the way I do it, fast and to the point. I commend you for that dude 👍
You gotta be EXTRA careful with Marx Soul. Even with the best ability in the game (Which I don't know what it is), he will seriously mess you up if you're not avoiding all of his attacks. Trust me, I'm an extra careful Arena freak, and I STILL AFTER 9 YEARS have not beaten Marx Soul. Word of advice: Watch out for the Kahme-hahme-ha laser.
Using hammer I’ve beat galacta knight and Marx soul easily neither are that hard anymore, just keep spinning into galacta knight and learn the pattern Marx has, once at half health he’ll do things more randomly, but always does laser after ice bomb.
im trying it now for 5+ hours and always lose at galacta knight. These true arenas in the kirby games are always such a frustrating pain in the ass. Pls someone end this suffering...
Yo solo lo he podido pasar con Piedra/Stone. Voy a intentarlo con las otras habilidades y con martillo veo que es facil porque junto a plasma, pueden causar golpes que causan mucho daño.
The first time I tried this, I got all the way to galactic night but died because low health (I had abused the hammer spin and wasn't actually that good of a player), so this was the first time I saw the final boss fight. Holy cow.
I didn't know you could get I frames from doing the dash attack. that will certainly help, although I've already made it to Marx soul without it, with almost full health
"The hardest challenge in the Kirby franchise." 3 years later. Nevermind, Planet Robobot True Arena is the hardest. 2 more years later. Okay then, I guess Soul Melter EX is the hardest. ??? WHY THE HELL IS EX DX RE: DREAM MELTER SOUL REVENGE 2.0 SO HARD??? (Assuming that ever exists.)
The True Arena's abilities from easy to hardest easiest: Hammer, Mirror, Ice, and Jet(idk if its possible with this one) Hardest: Cutter, Fire, Parasol, Beam, Fighter, Sword, no abilities, and Yo-Yo
Any tips on what I should do? I use stone and I beat both The Arena and Helper to Hero with it, and the farthest I’ve gotten is Galacta Knight. I currently keep dying on Masked Dedede. What should I do? UPDATE: Now I keep dying on Galacta Knight.
Galacta Knight took me at least 10 times to beat, but I got Marx Soul on my first attempt. However, when I finally beat Galacta Knight, it felt really easy. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like Galacta Knight has WAY more health than all of the other bosses.
I beat true arena with the mirror The magic is that when you protect you dont receive damage, but the attack is kind of bad uwu Still I beat the true arena P.d: without helper (of course)
i swear ill never forget marx soul's scream when he dies
Me neither.
RRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Soul*
Coincidentally, I read your comment while Marx was screaming.
i beat it just last night and i already completely forgot what it sounds like
It's his mask of Dededepression.
オロチベッドマン 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Dedede's Mask got dededestroyed!
Holy shit, I should use my guard button more. I didn't know it was THAT useful.
oi mate, the game is practically unplayable without it.
It is, but there's a way more effective method for defense. If you have the hammer powerup and do a dash attack at the enemy, you have invincibility frames while you pass through the enemy, so you can attack while also being perfectly protected. You also go a bit slower when you use the dash attack, so you can direct your character anywhere. You can also use the dash attack ability for dodging the paint balls that Marx throws, and that's usually how I dodge them.
Oh, I and I have the 8th fastest time on record for the True Arena as of today.
KentuckyWallChicken Yeah, that's how I manage to survive as well.
What's your fastest time in the True Arena?
-Hammer master race!-
Nick Palma 4:55
KentuckyWallChicken that's exactly why I use hammer
Am I the only one who thinks it's perfect how Kirby canonically chooses Hammer for the True Arena?
Waddle Derp its a strong ability
He's absolutely ready for these for these tougher bosses so he's pulling out all the stops.That and he probably knows how broken it is.
Well it is powerful.
As soon as you lose hammer or get hit in the masked dedede fight you lose bc the walls destroy copy ability stars.
He ain't messing around
I like using stone for the true arena and it works well thanks to the invicibility but once I get to Galacta Knight it all goes wrong
GlitchGremlin123 same
I also use stone for the invulnerability xD and if, Galacta Knight is really difficult with that. It took me longer to defeat him than Marx.
I have a method for galacta knight with stone
XxxfloridankxxX XD What is it? Stone always works great for me in true arena, but when I get to Galaxia Knight, I get beaten so badly.
Literally same
Man looking back. I’m so shocked at how 12 year old me managed to beat this. It was pretty difficult. Go hammer tho!!
The same but I was 9-10
When I was a kid I had to abuse Stone to beat ANY of the arenas.
Been playing this game again because I never beat it's True Arena. If I can beat Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot's True Arenas, I think I can beat Super Star Ultra's True Arena no problem.
I swear hammer does so much damage.
Yeah, hammer has always been kinda broken. In fact, from Return to Dreamland on, the fire prepping the hammer flip does damage now.
Squeak Squad’s pause screen flavor text for hammer says:
“Instant KO, it’s almost unfair.”
@tpayer033 Pretty sure it did damage in og super star too. And that's just the earliest instance I can remember. Tho the fire doing damage is harder to notice since it was automatically released.
So basicly, the mechanics to hammer is rediculous. While in dash b, you are invinsible for the duration and the up b is one of the highest damage dealing moves in the game (which of course is suplex, having the highest damage move).

Actually Hammer Flip deals more damage, with Suplex's attacks being the immediate second. Hammer Flip's damage can reach a hundred(!) while every Suplex move (sparing the Down-B, which deals 10pts) deals 70pts.
Actually, hammer flip does 80 damage. This can be proven by Computer Virus. This is a fact confirmed by WiKirby.
When he talks about Suplex. He means the star throwing damage ontop of the dash attack on opponents head move. Which in turn yes.
Hammer throw Deals even more damage
I will always remember the first time I beat the True Arena. It was 2 am on Christmas morning, and I couldn’t sleep for obvious reasons. So I popped in Super Star Ultra and after several attempts, I finally beat it. Somehow, I did it without waking my dog up.
I bet you had a mini heart attack at 4:09 XD
I thought that was funny! =)
InfernoFlower64 no
man, every time i played this i didn't used the guard or the invincible hammer attack in that way. I learned to beat this without them and i feel kinda fool and op at the same time
That scream was EVERYTHING!
3:39 Masked Dedede 4:10 Wham Bam Jewel 4:49 Galatica Knight 6:02 last Marx Soul
Wham Bam Jewel is Master Hand with his glove off.
It’s crazy hand. Wham bam rock is master hand
I always loved the intro of the True Arena in this game.
Kirby: Killing souls since Kirby Canvas Curse, really begin since Kirby Super Star Ultra.
3:29.89 is my record. That is in fact the record on Cyberscore. Wouldn't be surprised if it were the best proven record as of now. So much luck involved.
I got 3:29.57 it was so close tho but I didn't use the tomatoes
Mine is 4:38. Too bad that I couldn't record it, my Emulator was having a brain-fart that day. I use Fraps, the thing locks-on constantly saving random screenshots with no way to do anything. I use the built-in Movie, game crashes. Ugh.
Imagine if The True Arena was in the original Kirby Super Star? (And the other ones like helper to hero and revenge of king Dedede) that would be so awesome!
Who would win?
The Strongest Warrior in the Galaxy and The Galactic Ambition
Or...
A Pink Puffball.
With a hammer that can catch on fire at will
you did better than anyone i've seen so far keep up the great work!

That Marx soul scream gave me nightmares.

So many memories. I do have this game lying around somewhere, so I wonder if I can beat this after all this time.
I like how it flashes back to Marx's death
He didn't die. He appears in Kirby Star Allies.
@@harrybest2041 he did die in this version. also this this the adventure/super star universe, not the dreamland universe
Masked Dedede was the least intimidating out of the Final Four.
Probably because of the music.
Marx would always be deemed the Scariest Soul in Existence...only because of the Scream he lets out
Marx’s face at the top right corner of 6:03 still makes my flesh creep today
Beat this game with hammer kirby in less than 5:20 minutes but you are a pro gamer keep on the good work!
"possibly the hardest challenge in the entire Kirby franchise"
The Ultimate Choice's Soul Melter EX: Allow me to introduce myself.
At the time of this it was.
Hammer is definitely my Ability of choice. With how brutal this run, I figure the best strategy is to hit really freaking hard.
8:59 Marx used Hyper Beam....It's super effective.
when i was really young, i didn’t know marx soul could’ve been a thing so i thought he was some sort of secret new boss during the opening cutscene.
6:12
You didn’t have to flex so hard man, Galactic Knight gave you a fight.
You gotta be EXTRA careful with Marx Soul. Even with the best ability in the game (Which I don't know what it is), he will seriously mess you up if you're not avoiding all of his attacks. Trust me, I'm an extra careful Arena freak, and I STILL AFTER 9 YEARS have not beaten Marx Soul. Word of advice: Watch out for the Kahme-hahme-ha laser.
9 years?! I beat him with yo-yo on the first try! come on man, he's not that bad
can't say the same for galacta knight though...
The best would be either the Hammer or the Bike.
Using hammer I’ve beat galacta knight and Marx soul easily neither are that hard anymore, just keep spinning into galacta knight and learn the pattern Marx has, once at half health he’ll do things more randomly, but always does laser after ice bomb.
Honestly the trouble isn't them themselves, it's getting to them with sufficient resources, at least for me
the laser isn't a consern but the black hole? yeah thats the one you have to be careful
I always use Plasma. It does quite a bit of damage, the only downside being you have to charge it up like you would Spark in other games.
JESUS CHRIST MARX SOUL'S DEATH SCREAM SCARED(AND STILL DOES)THE *SHIT* OUT OF ME!! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK, HAL!?!
STOP! Hammer time!
Hammer is kinda broken it seems
wow this brings back memories
Kevin Tran of hell
Man is till have it and need to play it again sometime.
Sleep Kirby in other Kirby games: Useless
Sleep Kirby in Kirby Squeak Squad: Useful because it'll heal you up.
It also does that in the Forgotten Lands
Bro what was that transaction during Masked Dedede's battle?
This takes me back
This is where the "Soul" boss concept made its debut.
I thought it was on Canvas Curse
Yes, but Drawcia's Soul came out right after you beat her, whereas Marx Soul is a separate fight.
I think it's sad that Kracko Jr. was never in the original Arena, but he is here.
I have crippling king dededepression
Unique ford commercial upsets me alot because the storm is coming!
9:36
c'mon, just me?!
4:22 [coughmasterhandcough]
im trying it now for 5+ hours and always lose at galacta knight. These true arenas in the kirby games are always such a frustrating pain in the ass. Pls someone end this suffering...
Did you do it?
-fucccing has a heart attack when playimg kirby super star ultra-
Funny...
I beat true arena with Beam ability because that was the only power that was good with.
I found wheel to be my favorite ability to use in this one. Worked fine for me.
Yo solo lo he podido pasar con Piedra/Stone. Voy a intentarlo con las otras habilidades y con martillo veo que es facil porque junto a plasma, pueden causar golpes que causan mucho daño.
The first time I tried this, I got all the way to galactic night but died because low health (I had abused the hammer spin and wasn't actually that good of a player), so this was the first time I saw the final boss fight. Holy cow.
Edit: Beat it now, hammer op
If it wasn’t for hammer, this would definitely be harder than Robobot’s True Arena.
I remember that being a lot more difficult.
I liked what you did before Marx Soul! Taking a nap always solves a problem. I like dis videos!
Nicely done! :-)
Similar To Helper To Hero
I didn't know you could get I frames from doing the dash attack. that will certainly help, although I've already made it to Marx soul without it, with almost full health
It kinda pains me how Waddle dee is in the normal Arena and not in True Arena, he's in King's Revnege, where are the other revenge bosses are
Me: *watching Marx Soul fight* Psh, this is just the normal Marx fight with a new coat of paint! What's so different abo-
Video: 8:25
si pero usar martillo es la arma mas poderosa de que derrota a los jefes incluso a los ultimos 4
"The hardest challenge in the Kirby franchise."
3 years later.
Nevermind, Planet Robobot True Arena is the hardest.
2 more years later.
Okay then, I guess Soul Melter EX is the hardest.
???
WHY THE HELL IS EX DX RE: DREAM MELTER SOUL REVENGE 2.0 SO HARD???
(Assuming that ever exists.)
Marx Soul's scream, tho... Ugh. *shudders*
The True Arena's abilities from easy to hardest
easiest: Hammer, Mirror, Ice, and Jet(idk if its possible with this one)
Hardest: Cutter, Fire, Parasol, Beam, Fighter, Sword, no abilities, and Yo-Yo
HOLY SUPER PRO. Remind me to use Hammer next time :U
I have never gotten past Masked Dedede.
True Arena? More like the thing that kept me from 100% for two and a half weeks straight.
This honestly looks very tame compared to the newer games.
whats that song at the very beginning that plays when you tap on the true arena icon?
ah the memories
hammer being god like
suffering in the final 4
kabula being absolute bs
My best time is 5:43 I honestly have no clue how I got that
Does anyone know what song plays in the waiting area before fighting one of the final 4? I n e e d i t -
Wow now I know how to beat this game!!
What was the point of getting sleep near the end?
Dino Dare a joke
Any tips on what I should do? I use stone and I beat both The Arena and Helper to Hero with it, and the farthest I’ve gotten is Galacta Knight. I currently keep dying on Masked Dedede. What should I do?
UPDATE: Now I keep dying on Galacta Knight.
Jacob Cannon - OK, thanks.
on my third win of the true arena, i was astonished. i beat marx soul without getting hit. best time is 7:43:67
But are you able to beat it without your uditive system taking damage?
for Jayden Perez (see marx soul then decide)
HE IS A TOTAL PRO
I died fighting Marx Soul on his 1HP TWICE
Galactic knight is the only one that's actually difficult in the true arena
yep you said it
Disagreed completely, especially with the Hammer, he isnt that hard, Marx Soul can be a lot bigger pain
Galacta Knight took me at least 10 times to beat, but I got Marx Soul on my first attempt. However, when I finally beat Galacta Knight, it felt really easy. I don't know if it's just me, but I feel like Galacta Knight has WAY more health than all of the other bosses.
I still never beat this mode to this day :/
I always get so close to beating Galacta Knight, but then I fail.
I loved masked dedede music to
I've spend now 1 day trying to beat this. How long did it take you?
9:41 Tch. Marx, you deceiving creep.
I beat true arena with the mirror
The magic is that when you protect you dont receive damage, but the attack is kind of bad uwu
Still I beat the true arena
P.d: without helper (of course)
Actually mirror doesnt reflect any attacks from the bosses in true arena
6:46:42??? That´s sweet, I bet it with Hammer in 04:46:22 on R4 DS no cheats
I can beat my own record and upload it, but with bad quality :v
How did you make it past Kracko without taking any damage? I can't.
Can I use your footage in one of my videos ? I will credit you :)
Thank u very much ^^
looking this up cuz i know i’ll never beat it
9:41 BEST EAR RAPE SCREAMING EVER!!
after too many fails on this. i finally finished the true arena
galacta freaking knight
i despise him
It's a shame they didn't remixed Marx's theme for Marx Soul
ay que no pueden usar solo martillo en el verdadero coliseo
Well, with hammer, Masked Dedede turned out to be real easy. Woot, I won.
HAMMER FTW
Finaly beat it with hammer after so many years/
the marx has turned to nightmare... O_O
