So basically she knew she was about to lose and die, but still wanted to throw ANYTHING at Kirby... Idk if that makes the fight even more sad or what remains of Sectonia even more terrifying-
Remember. If a bee is stuck on stinging, it will release itself and leave its intestines with the stinger to the place where it stung. And yet, because of that, its gonna die soon.
Despite this technically being the same theme as The World to Win, it gives off a different vibe since the original fight was Kirby fighting a crazed queen with a lust for power, but now it seems to be a battle to put the shell of an undead queen to rest…
Soul of Sectonia is easily one of my favourite soul boss designs. The ragged petals and black heart on her crown are real nice details. For Sectonia's sake we gotta put this flower down.....RIP.
I love how out of nowhere this boss fight is. There isn't really any reason for the player to think that there's anything after the flower form, in fact they might not even pay much attention to the slightly different "death" animation compared to the normal flower form fight in the main campaign and in the Arena. Then, in one last ditch effort to finish Kirby off, Sectonia screams and dismembers herself from the pretty much undead end of the Dreamstalk, becoming nothing more than a head and four wings. Yet, she's still tied to the Dreamstalk, as evidenced by the fact that she can still summon vines from it, which have now become littered with roses despite the Dreamstalk never having roses on it before, and that attacking them hurts her. There's also the strange blue and purple... smoke? liquid? coming from the back of her head. Combine this with the sudden paint and fireball attacks, it all makes for incredibly surreal fight and a far departure from what Sectonia has ever done before beyond the aforementioned vine attack along with the teleporting, enemy summoning and laser attack. Of course, seasoned Kirby fans could pick up on the references, but it still was very strange to see and arguably one of if not the strangest "Soul" fight in the series. I think Void is still my favorite "Soul" fight (even though there's already a Void Soul; speaking of which gosh did that fight just get sidelined by Void) just for the thematic and emotional weight it has, but Soul of Sectonia comes very close. Though, just like with Star Dream, there is some scaling inconsistency with this fight when compared to the fight just before, though not nearly as bad or often as it is with Star Dream.
I kinda expected it mostly because I feel like if you played Super Star Ultra before you should expect something considering it has the same name and it also had a Secret Boss Fight. Sure Marx's Soul didn't have a 2nd phrase (as no boss does) but it did have an exclusive cutscene while triple deluxe didn't but HAL did not disappoint.
The twist works so well because Sectonia's battle in the main game ends with a real sense of closure, unlike most final bosses in the series that feel like they maybe end too soon. So in the True Arena, when she refuses to die and comes back for one more round, _ripping her head off the Dreamstalk in the process_ , just the sheer tenacity on display is genuinely terrifying.
Better than me, I was rather young, and I was scared to do the fight normally. I cheesed it with leaf with the guard attack, not bothering to fight normally at all. Still find it funny even now
@@Nightmare41919 I've finished it with leaf too (another time) which was a lot easier.. but that one time I lost my ability so I had to do it without it 😂
This was such a shocker when my friend played through of triple deluxe infront of me and we were in the 'True Battle Arena' he said 'Well there HAS to be a Queen Sectonia EX'. WE GOT THIS.
She's fed off countless hopes and can't remember her true form, taranza's voice called out to help her but since fallen silent, before the night ends she must have given eternal beauty sleep. This track plays during the fight against the Soul of Sectonia in the final phase of the true arena!
for the longest time i had no clue this fight existed, as a kid i could NEVER beat the true arena, it was too difficult... but one day, i persevered through it all and finally beat sectonia... but then, she detached from the stalk, leading into probably the most epic battle ive had as a kid that i still cant believe i won -albeit i did use hammer-
If you lose your ability in this fight or the fight before it (I had Archer knocked out of me in the first phase, and it fell into the pit) you can inhale the cutter attack to get Cutter if you're careful
Japanese translation: “Throughout possessing so many forms, I cannot really remember my actual one. Where was the voice that was going to help me went out to? I don’t know, but it looks like it’s gone fully muted. Before the sun EVEN rises up, if you please, offer my eternal beauty rest.” Edit: OMG 100 LIKES?!? 😱😱
@@anankos795 yeah. same happened in planet robobot. somewhere it says that susie is still mechanizing planets in english, but in japanese it says that she is just using her hacking skills to help people.
Strangw how my fangame (Kirby's Epic Return to Planet Robobot) has lore I didn't even plan to make. The antagonist of this game is Anti-Matter, who seeks to destroy all of existence. In my game, Dark Mind possesses Taranza to summon Sectonia's phantom, who is the final boss in the Planet Popstar area. In her flower form she has four phases: Phase 1: First phase and is the exact same as in Kirby Triple Deluxe. Except the two of the flower things have Dark Mind's eye and are steonger than the other normal two. Phase 2: Second phase and is the same as in Kirby Triple Deluxe. Phase 3: Kirby loses the Hypernova ability and Phantom of Sectonia gets revenge. She now attacks like Soul of Sectonia in Kirby Triple Deluxe. And the soundtrack is the one of this music you're currently listening to. Phase 4: Before the final phase, a cutscene plays. Dark Mind says that he will grant the "power of mirrors" to Phantom of Sectonia. And then, she disassembles herself, like a bee losing its sting, from the Dreamstalk just like in Kirby Triple Deluxe. When you deal damage half of her stamina, Dark Meta Knight's theme plays, and Phantom of Sectonia will start attacking like Dark Meta Knight. In the Japanese version of Kirby Triple Deluxe, the description says that the Soul of Sectonia is being suicidal. But in my fangame, the Mirror World is corrupted by Anti-Matter, so Phantom of Sectonia probably wants the entire Planet Popstar to be like Soul of Sectonia. And probably Sectonia is suffering in the Mirror World. *Prove me wrong.*
The beginning of Sectonia Soul is honestly one of my most remembered moments in Kirby. Even if I never experienced it myself. Just the complete shock a secret final phase brought at the time and the soon-to-be iconic phantom cutter attack (best one visually too) just make this fight so iconic in my eyes Plus the music slaps
Why do people think this is the hardest fight in the series? This is nothing compared to the twenty minutes of suffering ended with one hit KO attacks that Robobot throws at you.

I just cheesed every boss with stone because I was too stupid to figure out guarding.
I cheesed everything with leaf lol
After countless times changing body, she chooses to give up her own body, it's so creepy to me, that's not how love suppose to look like...
This isn’t a boss fight
It’s an assisted suicide
Cuz in the jp translation Sectonia is begging us to kill her
Now that’s dark
where did you find that information?
@@Zotrun the boss description of soul of sectonia in the Japanese version
@Zotrun In the Japanese version, her flavor text goes from third person to first person
Chuggaaconroy: "THERE'S ANOTHER PHASE?!"
Sectonia: Kirby, Kirby look at me
Kirby: *turns back *
Sectonia: Bitch
Getting to the boss of a true arena makes my hands sweat so much
This one was shocking the first time,especially the music...it was like the "another health bar meme",but very harsh!

I REALLY THOUGHT I WAS DONE AND THEN THIS FIGHT HAPPENED AND I DIED AND I WAS SO MAD
The World to Win was already one of my favorite triple deluxe tracks and then i found this
First time I learned she had a second phase was the hard way unfortunately… Shit still scares me to this day, screw you Severed Head of Sectonia.
I still wish there was a way to save her....
You are saving her, in a way.
Why do people think this is the hardest fight in the series? This is nothing compared to the twenty minutes of suffering ended with one hit KO attacks that Robobot throws at you.
Dark Metaknight is harder in my opinion, but that’s probably why people say this is hard, because it is after a real hard one
Easily the hardest part of this boss was getting to her.
This and world to win are combined

0:18 What have I become in this night?
What have I done to this planet?
0:24 I have now gotten out of control
Because of me…
0:29 My soul is now what’s left of me…
It’s now rampaging in madness!
0:34 Not a single petal
From my flowered figure…
0:41 I’ve been possessing power
From many forms for too long…
Now I only have to cling onto my beauty,
And it’s gone terrible!
1:00 No longer remembering anything at all…
1:14 Eyes now flooding with tears,
Hands full of my property
1:19 Was it because of my
Horrible elegancy?
1:24 No longer reached by a helping,
No longer hearing anything,
1:29 I cannot remember my true form…
But before the night comes to an end,
I need my eternal beauty sleep!
