Fun Fact: The moon warrior masks Dedede and Meta Knight's theme at the final chapter in solo mode is actually a mashup of the King Dedede theme, Masked Dedede, VS Meta Knight theme, and Halbard theme with a touch of change to the structure of the melody setting up a jazzy smooth relaxed, but sinister all put together creating a mashup, remix, and arrangement all in one.
It probably does. I'm pretty sure they're required to say that there are in-game purchases in a game if it links to the e-shop, regardless of what those purchases might be.
Yea, like take the Animal Crossing New Horizons Physical Box for example. It has the In game purchases text but it's only for the reward you can get if you have Nintendo Switch Online.
It most likely is that While we could be getting little updates (similar to Battle Royale), I feel like Ant is hoping for more than we'll probably get It's also now been a month with nothing... 4 months, yep definitely no updates.
Yeah, reasonably certain that's all it is. You can get to the eShop in-game when looking at the info on Star Allies and Super Kirby Clash. Probably nothing more than that. But if it is that would be neat.

@@Jann75 Okay… but it’s still Kirby knowledge, right? That shows you’d have a greater understanding of Kirby, especially considering that Anthony has shown he has extensive knowledge beyond the main series before. Your logic is flawed, and you sound quiet foolish.
I think the In-game purchases thing might be referring to the öther games" section that sends you to the eshop pages for star allies and super kirby clash on the eshop. Would love DLC but I don't know if it's guaranteed.
I really hope that they'll make a sequel to Dededes Drum Dash Deluxe. They could call it Dededes Drum Dash Deluxe Definitive Dedition! It could have all the content from the Triple Deluxe side game and Deluxe edition, along with tons of extra Kirby songs. They could even add extra costumes for Dedede like D-Mind, Shadow Dedede, his Smash Bros and Star Allies extra colors, and the new Waning Masked Dedede from Kirby Fighters 2
Kirby finally gets some character development, and it's as little as him being unable to read? That's about as significant as Luigi being allergic to dust. Then again, Mario hasn't had much since the beginning either...
smash ultimate : I'm better cuz I have banjo Steve k rool and Ridley Kirby fighters 2: fool. I have a completely different character . Also kirby fighters 2 is better
Those Dedede & Meta Knight fights were really neat though, even if their masked versions didn't feel much different. I expected the fights to just be battling their playable versions at the same time, but instead they're proper boss fights where the two characters use cool combo attacks on you.
The purpose and lore this Kirby Fighters 2 provides is insight into the relationship between King Dedede and Meta Knight. Many Kirby lore enthusiasts will tell you the great significance of appreciation that was given to all the animations focus to the King Dedede and Meta Knight plus all the descriptions that change through all encounters. Also, Kirby fighters 2 touches upon the significance of Shadow Kirby (or parallel) with the set and specific descriptions.
The problem: Bandana dee isn’t in smash The solution: Hal labs will make a new Kirby fighters (Said everyone on the internet when this game came out) Edit: I didn’t realize that this comment would be so liked
There is some lore with Shadow Kirby’s final fight pause screen description saying that the Shadow Kirby from Fighters Deluxe and Fighters 2 is the same Shadow Kirby from Amazing Mirror
Here’s the pause screen description “The mightiest Shadow Kirby yet is back for another round! His devastating power suggests that he is a guardian of the Mirror World, found far beyond the sky.”
8:04 yeah however we did get a medley remix for there theme with halberds theme meta knights theme from super star ultra, kind dededes theme, and masked dededes theme!
There's actually some interesting info in Shadow Kirby's pause screens (yes screens. Their battles both in story and solo mode) 👀👀 other than that, epic video!!!!! Always happy for new kirby videos ^^
but TBH, The Shadow Kirby fight is AWESOME. It zooms in on Kirby as he gets closer to the enemy and pans out when he goes further from the enemy all throughout the fight. Plus, it’s a genuinely hard boss. So with the combination, it’s one of the most compelling Kirby battles.
Antdude: *Uploads Crash 4 video* Also Antdude: *guest stars in Lost Bits* ALSO Antdude, _in the same 24 hours_ : *Uploads Kirby Fighters 2 video* Antdude, are you OK? Have you slept in the past 24 hours?
WAIT I JUST NOTICED THE THUMBNAIL- Now i usually never dare request anything, but if one day you talked about Rhythm Heaven my and many more people's lives would be complete.
I didn't blame you for not knowing the implications of Galacta Knight in Super Kirby Clash. It was the most cryptic the series' lore has been. It was in a non-canon spin-off game and the attack itself could easily be dismissed as a reference. As for lore in this game, it couldn't be harder to miss (the opposite of Super Kirby Clash in terms of being cryptic), so I'm surprised you didn't bring it up, even if it's a small lore drop. It's brought up in the text blurb before the first Shadow Kirby fight in Story Mode, and all of his pause screen descriptions make it clear too. He is 100% the same Shadow Kirby from Kirby & the Amazing Mirror. Despite how it all looks, he isn't evil, he's just playing a prank (according to the pause description of his second to last fight). It is the most "Kirby" explanation to having to fight a previously established good guy (outside them getting possessed by Dark Matter, of course) and I love it.
11:12 Imagine if the 3D code that was left in Kirby Fighters 2 ends up being code for a sequel to *_Kirby Battle Royale_* if this ends up being true I'm going to be sad and allow people to shame me for making the joke
That’s what I‘m afraid of. We’re looooong overdue for a 3D Kirby game, but no one is mentioning how the code could be similar to Battle Royale* (Battle Royale had both 2D and 3D game modes, so that’s why there could be 3D stuff in Fighters 2... even though they appear to use different engines). For now, I’m being cautiously optimistic. *although, apparently the files reference either Sword or Blade Knight, who didn’t appear in Battle Royale...
I guess its worth mentioning that there is a link to the eShop to get Kirby Star Allies and Super Kirby Clash so thats what they mean by In-Game Purchases (I would love some DLC though)
I think it's refreshing having Kirby just get into shenanigans in the rich and lovely world of Dreamland. You don't always need these grandiose storylines and threats, when it's equally charming having D3 and MK teaming up to challenge a blissfully unaware kirby. Hal has a wonderful setting to play in allready, i wish they did more with what they allready have at times
10:08 My silly brain thought that this mode would let you play the game with a single joy-con with one hand. You know, because it’s called “Single-Handed Mode”
Hold on, is that thumbnail a Rhythm Heaven reference?! Antdude, you are now legally obligated to do a video on each game in the series. After taking a week-long nap. (Also, I love that the artist added the Dedede icon on the mic, which I believe is referencing the anime/Battle Royale)
I can see why you start back on floor 1 on each difficulty. I think it's because so that you can replan your strategy on the items that you choose. On my playthrough of the final chapter I focused mainly on Attack Power and Health and also helped my ally power up as well as stacking as many boss stickers that I can. If you were to do just 1 run of all 50 floors and make a realization that the items you choose are not going to help, you are screwed so that's why you always start back at floor 1
Kirby triple deluxe was my first ever kirby game but it wasn't until about a year later that i started to adore the pink puff ball he is. Now I wish I had more money to afford fighters 2. Spent it all on smash ultimate :/
It’s actually a roguelite a rogue like has full randomization echoed into the core design this just has rogue like elements like full start hence rogueliTe
Sleep Kirby deserves to be an available Copy Ability in this game, Battle Royale took a Copy Ability that's used as a trap for Kirby in the main games, and worked it into having it's own moveset.
I think there might actually be a tiny bit of lore in the fact that the masks triple D and Meta put on are highly likely to be Dark matter relics like the Master Crown. So in the final fight, there actually was a bit more at stake since the masks where actually evil and could be a potential threat to Dreamland with the power of Dedede and Meta knight in their grasp.
Ive been brainstorming what a 3d Kirby game could be like for the past decade and could not be more excited to see the result in a few years if the data-mined tests lead somewhere.
One problem Kirby copy abilities, We could go the route I prefer and have switch abilities quickly and not needing to inhale any one Or we could emphasize the unlimited power they have hinted at in the Kirby lore and have go fill dragon ball and shoot energy stars for the base form and treat the abilities like customers with different movements attached to them Or OR PLS HEAR ME OUT Make it a prequel to the Kirby series like age of calamity Ya know how the anime gave of pretty good back story for Kirby and meta knight, but then the elite Kirby professional theorists said no Maybe we can finally have canon take of that backstory A war between the Kirby race and the dark matters Galatca knight staring out as young solider trying to battle the lust for power deep inside, meta knight finding Galaxia Seeing what happened to the humans on shiver star or escort mission sending a hidden package to space ship heading for popstar but it's really a sleeping Kirby so they put him somewhere safe so he can grow up and get stronger to defeat zero Or even going the legend Arceus route and having your team being the ancestors of the main characters
I loved to see Dedede and MK together, all this partnership thing it's so interesting to me, and it's really funny for me to imagine Kirby just being like "i dunno what this says but my friends sended it so i guess i'll go", and more than bad i think it was just the rivals desire to finally beat Kirby in a fight, of course that made them make the stupid decision of using evil masks but in the end, and at this point of the story, they had their time to shine, i need to see more of them like this because think their dynamic would be hillarious
The second phase of the final boss is actually a Mashup of Meta Knights and Masked Dedede's theme combind into one. It's one of the best themes in the intire kirby series in my opinion.
So you're telling me Kirby can pilot a high tech mech suit but can't read a simple letter. Also what is with characters having some association with Sakurai not knowing how to read.
Little do you know that the mech controls mostly consist of buttons with pictures of food on them. Really, Kirby's just trying to get a snack, but it all works out in the end.
I can explain why you start from Floor 1 each time. At the end of difficulties 1,2, and 3, Kirby reaches a dead end, with the boss he just beat up dropping a key, that unlocks a door back on Floor 1. So Kirby has to go back to floor 1 just to open that new door, and fight his way higher up the tower.
You don't, these Kirby Fighting games never let you hunt down the Copy Abilities from enemies. Instead, they are treated as alternate characters entirely, even though it's just another Kirby, whom I assume those copies of Kirby came from Dedede's now broken glorified Kirby Copy Machine, which all it does it creates copies of Kirby. That was pretty smart of Dedede for once too.
@@zigazav1 yeah I guess you’re right, but I was wondering if its gonna be in any future games. Also I’m pretty sure the Kirby clones ceased existence in the end of Battle royale
The story mode: Confirms that Shadow Kirby is the same as Shadow Kirby from the Mirror World and not just a Parallel version of Kirby and introduces new ancient-made artifacts that may be connected with the Heroes the sealed away Void Termina. Anthony: It’s nothing really, just Meta Knight and Dedede wanting to challenge Kirby.
For me personally, this game has been a fun grind. So far I have reached Fighter Rank 100, at 87% completion, have 5 more fighters I need to beat story mode with, before I lose my sanity trying to beat Single Handed Mode with nearly every single fighter (which at least you don't start at the beginning of a run when you die cause otherwise I wouldn't even attempt it with how difficult those enemies are on my first look with Hammer Kirby) and right now I have reached 105 hours according to my switch, so this game has to be doing something right.
Despite you apologising for missing lore in kirby clash, you missed the lore found in this game as well about shadow kirby being the same one from amazing mirror and being the guardian of that place. I expect better next time Mr dude.
The music included in this is so good too. Nice renditions of map/menu songs from the gba games and great remixes of older stage songs with a heavy japanese influence.
It’s funny how throughout all of his videos on kirby he sometimes mentions a 3D kirby game and it has all built up to Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The buildup was like some kind of foreshadowing and the video on the game is like a season finale
Fun Fact: The moon warrior masks Dedede and Meta Knight's theme at the final chapter in solo mode is actually a mashup of the King Dedede theme, Masked Dedede, VS Meta Knight theme, and Halbard theme with a touch of change to the structure of the melody setting up a jazzy smooth relaxed, but sinister all put together creating a mashup, remix, and arrangement all in one.
AND IT SLAPS
It's amazing
I melted from that part when the Aboard the Halberd theme came back in the middle of the song. That was magic.
its amazing
Cool
"In-game purchases" can also mean that the game links directly to the eshop, which happens in Kirby Fighters 2.
It probably does. I'm pretty sure they're required to say that there are in-game purchases in a game if it links to the e-shop, regardless of what those purchases might be.

Kirby triple deluxe was my first ever kirby game but it wasn't until about a year later that i started to adore the pink puff ball he is. Now I wish I had more money to afford fighters 2. Spent it all on smash ultimate :/
well to be fair, smash ultimate is a godly switch game, so it was a worthy purchase
It’s actually a roguelite a rogue like has full randomization echoed into the core design this just has rogue like elements like full start hence rogueliTe
11:48 You’re a _genius,_ Anthony. I’d gladly pay for a Kirby Warriors game.
I'm still waiting for the day they put E.S.P. in a Kirby Fighters game.
That, and also Sleep.
Sleep Kirby deserves to be an available Copy Ability in this game, Battle Royale took a Copy Ability that's used as a trap for Kirby in the main games, and worked it into having it's own moveset.
And maybe Circus
I think there might actually be a tiny bit of lore in the fact that the masks triple D and Meta put on are highly likely to be Dark matter relics like the Master Crown. So in the final fight, there actually was a bit more at stake since the masks where actually evil and could be a potential threat to Dreamland with the power of Dedede and Meta knight in their grasp.
HA! Jokes on you, I`ve played and beat Kirby Battle Royale multiple times!
Same
Kirby Battle Royale's final battle was the last nail in the coffin for my 3DS circlepad. Now's just a stick that hurts me every time I use the thing.
~11:25 "Fully 3D... finally coming" *sad Air Ride noises*
4:36 Fun Fact: Kirby Battle Royale was my first Kirby game!
Ive been brainstorming what a 3d Kirby game could be like for the past decade and could not be more excited to see the result in a few years if the data-mined tests lead somewhere.
I see that Ringside reference in the thumbnail, Antdude. You won't fool me.
“Kirby Star Warriors”
I want this so badly now. Thanks a lot, Antdude.
4:27 finally I’m not the only one wanting sleep kirby in
Coming back to the end part after forgotten land was actually really interesting to me. It’s been in development for that long now.
11:47 We were all thinking it, AntDude just said it out loud.
One problem
Kirby copy abilities,
We could go the route I prefer and have switch abilities quickly and not needing to inhale any one
Or we could emphasize the unlimited power they have hinted at in the Kirby lore and have go fill dragon ball and shoot energy stars for the base form and treat the abilities like customers with different movements attached to them
Or OR PLS HEAR ME OUT
Make it a prequel to the Kirby series like age of calamity
Ya know how the anime gave of pretty good back story for Kirby and meta knight, but then the elite Kirby professional theorists said no
Maybe we can finally have canon take of that backstory
A war between the Kirby race and the dark matters
Galatca knight staring out as young solider trying to battle the lust for power deep inside, meta knight finding Galaxia
Seeing what happened to the humans on shiver star or escort mission sending a hidden package to space ship heading for popstar but it's really a sleeping Kirby so they put him somewhere safe so he can grow up and get stronger to defeat zero
Or even going the legend Arceus route and having your team being the ancestors of the main characters
11:40 All we have gotten so far is 2 upgraded versions of 3DS side games
Kirby’s Extra Epic Yarn: Am I a joke to you?
"Every Kirby is here!"
*cries in Fire and Ice Kirby*
Cries in dr
Cries in cupid metal
And buble
@@pkspade cries in spark
I mean they may add more kirbys in the DLC, who knows
I loved to see Dedede and MK together, all this partnership thing it's so interesting to me, and it's really funny for me to imagine Kirby just being like "i dunno what this says but my friends sended it so i guess i'll go", and more than bad i think it was just the rivals desire to finally beat Kirby in a fight, of course that made them make the stupid decision of using evil masks but in the end, and at this point of the story, they had their time to shine, i need to see more of them like this because think their dynamic would be hillarious
2:22 you paid twice the price of a free game
8:02 y-you're kidding right? Masked Dedede is in that boss theme. It's a medley of both Meta Knight AND Dedede's themes.
3:43 Did the same thing with Marx and I think Dedede/Meta Knight
The second phase of the final boss is actually a Mashup of Meta Knights and Masked Dedede's theme combind into one. It's one of the best themes in the intire kirby series in my opinion.
You joke, but I would buy Kirby Star Warriors in a heartbeat
Kirby Star Warriors is something I never knew I needed until Antdude heavily implied it
11:45 you can hear antdudes cat
I love the rhythm heaven reference in the thumbnail, absolutely perfect
So you're telling me Kirby can pilot a high tech mech suit but can't read a simple letter. Also what is with characters having some association with Sakurai not knowing how to read.
Mysteries for the ages.
Little do you know that the mech controls mostly consist of buttons with pictures of food on them. Really, Kirby's just trying to get a snack, but it all works out in the end.
Naw, it's just Pit and Kirby who can't read. Dark Pit probably CAN read though, since he's basically everything Pit does not stand for.
11:19 feels hilarious, watching this after the reveal of Forgotten Land.
I very much appreciate the Rhythm Heaven reference in the thumbnail
This game had the first signs of the forgotten land existing in it. Truly fitting its name
Surprised you didn’t mention Shadow Kirby at all.
I can explain why you start from Floor 1 each time.
At the end of difficulties 1,2, and 3, Kirby reaches a dead end, with the boss he just beat up dropping a key, that unlocks a door back on Floor 1. So Kirby has to go back to floor 1 just to open that new door, and fight his way higher up the tower.
Wrestler is a hybrid of a bunch of different abilities, and I really like it. Question is what enemy are we gonna get it from?
You don't, these Kirby Fighting games never let you hunt down the Copy Abilities from enemies. Instead, they are treated as alternate characters entirely, even though it's just another Kirby, whom I assume those copies of Kirby came from Dedede's now broken glorified Kirby Copy Machine, which all it does it creates copies of Kirby. That was pretty smart of Dedede for once too.
@@zigazav1 yeah I guess you’re right, but I was wondering if its gonna be in any future games. Also I’m pretty sure the Kirby clones ceased existence in the end of Battle royale
The story mode: Confirms that Shadow Kirby is the same as Shadow Kirby from the Mirror World and not just a Parallel version of Kirby and introduces new ancient-made artifacts that may be connected with the Heroes the sealed away Void Termina.
Anthony: It’s nothing really, just Meta Knight and Dedede wanting to challenge Kirby.
Him: No one played a Kirby Battle Royals
Me who played it competitively: ok then I guess I don’t exist
I played it too. It's actually was destroyed my 3DS circlepad after it was severely crippled from Smash 4 3DS.
For me personally, this game has been a fun grind. So far I have reached Fighter Rank 100, at 87% completion, have 5 more fighters I need to beat story mode with, before I lose my sanity trying to beat Single Handed Mode with nearly every single fighter (which at least you don't start at the beginning of a run when you die cause otherwise I wouldn't even attempt it with how difficult those enemies are on my first look with Hammer Kirby)
and right now I have reached 105 hours according to my switch, so this game has to be doing something right.
Despite you apologising for missing lore in kirby clash, you missed the lore found in this game as well about shadow kirby being the same one from amazing mirror and being the guardian of that place. I expect better next time Mr dude.
The music included in this is so good too. Nice renditions of map/menu songs from the gba games and great remixes of older stage songs with a heavy japanese influence.
That thumbnail...
*Wubbaduba that's true?*
It’s funny how throughout all of his videos on kirby he sometimes mentions a 3D kirby game and it has all built up to Kirby and the Forgotten Land. The buildup was like some kind of foreshadowing and the video on the game is like a season finale
