Galacta Knight (Kirby series) Discussion

Wait, hold on a minute, didn't I already say this in the article itself? XD

Well, I thought I would find it on the Wii U Virtual Console, but Super Star Ultra isn't there. And now I don't have the money for Return to Dreamland, the only game that the Wii U has which feature Galacta Knight.

Yeah. It's unfortunate that the Wii U Virtual Console has so few DS games in it as of right now. I'm sure you'll be able to play it one of these days though!

i support too is cool!!!!

Thanks for your support! I'll add your name to the list in the morning, I can't figure out how to edit it on mobile.

"Magolor, Marx, Nightmare"
Those villains only had 1 real appearance in the  Kirby games (Not counting sub-games in Mass Attack, the anniversary title, cameos or remakes), compared to Dark Matter and Galacta Knight. And really? "He looks like Meta Knight but pink". Luigi, Wario and Waluigi look like Mario in clothing, Jigglypuff looks like Kirby, that logic really isn't the best thing to use.

But Galacta Knight barely counts as a main character. Sure, Magolor, Marx and Nightmare may have only appeared once but they actually do something that is important. Magolor however put RtDL into motion. Nightmare is the main antagonist of Kirby's Adventure and the Anime (Not canon, but still, over Dark Matter?). Marx has less of an argument going for him, but was still memorable. Galacta Knight is called "Greatest Most Powerful Warrior in the Galaxy," and then you beat him until he spontaneously appears in the next game.

Also Luigi has his own games, and is most every Mario game.
Wario has even more of his own games.
Some people want Waluigi to have his own game.
Jigglypuff is a Smash mainstay, that will never go away ever.

We are officially best friends.

He counts as a recurring character, and when we're talking Kirby, that's not often *COUGH* Animal Buddies, Gooey, Ribbon, Adeline *COUGH*

I wish the animal buddies would come back... T~T

I think the whole problem on Galacta Knight is that Super Star/Super Star Ultra is already over represented in Smash, and the "Dark Matter" trilogy is barely represented in Smash mostly because Sakurai barely represents anything from Kirby that isn't Kirby's Dream Land, Adventure, Super Star and Air Ride (since those are the only main Kirby games Sakurai directed, not counting spin-offs), also worth noting that Bandana Dee didn't even get a single trophy or mention in Smash Wii U, while Galacta Knight, for some reason did.
I'd honestly be fine with Galacta Knight, although I think it'd be better if other Kirby characters that didn't get the time to shine in any of the Smash games (Dark Matter, Adeleine, Prince Fluff, Bandana Dee, Magolor among others).

Though, I think before any of those, we should get our great King Dedede first

Yeah that's true, there does need to be more reps from other Kirby games first.

Galacta Knight got a single trophy in Smash 4. I wouldn't really call that "Over-represented".

Doesn't change the fact that Super Star/Ultra still gets too much spotlight in Smash.

Galacta Knight has a lot of interesting potential, and the games seem to be building him up for something. He's got some very mysterious lore behind him and I wonder if they have any plans to bring any of it as a primary focus for a future Kirby title.

That's because Sakurai doesn't feel like doing anything in what we call the "Post-Air Ride" Era
Because Air Ride is when Sakurai flew the coop in HAL Laboratories
And in Smash he basically refuses to use anything from Post-Air Ride
And since the most prominent game from Pre-Air Ride was Super Star (The most we've gotten Post-Air Ride was the Galacta Knight trophy in Smash 4 and a very small amount of songs)
You can tell where this goes

From what I recall, Sakurai said that he is done developing Smash games, so if someone new develops the 5th game, we might have some "Post-Air Ride" representation. We need to have a 5th game first, however.

Kirby's Epic Yarn was planned to have a stage, but due to the announcement of Yoshi's Wooly World the Epic Yarn stage had been changed to the Great Cave Offensive.

so that sakurai hates modern kirby thing definitely isn't true

Welp, I didn't know about that.
But then again, Sakurai could have chosen something else to replace that stage, he had a lot of games to choose from yet he only chose something from Super Star.
Also worth noting that Sakurai has also barely referenced the Dark Matter trilogy (Dream Land 2, 3 and Kirby 64), I think the only things hailing from those three games are the Rick & Gooey trophies from Melee, some stickers from Brawl and Pop Star (K64) & Zero Two's theme (K64).
That's it.
It also does't help that the only non-DLC Kirby stage in the 3DS version was just a vanilla Dream Land stage that just used 8-bit graphics despite, you know, the release of Triple Deluxe in the same year.

Bandana Dee's inclusion in SSF2 is literally the best (and most unique) thing that has happened to the Kirby franchise inside Smash in the past years, and that's not even an official game.
