“To prevent the destruction of both worlds, Kirby inhales a semi truck” has got to be one of the best sentences I’ve ever heard

[ifiinch]

Lab rats and mice often have a small hole punched out of the outside of one of their ears. The same can be seen in Elfilin’s design. It’s an interesting detail and great way of foreshadowing, tying them in to the whole ‘lab rat’ thing going on

Fun fact: In the japanese version of Chaos Elfilis is called Soul of chaos which is the exact title the Void Soul use in Star Allies. The description for Chaos Elfilis figure in Japanese also state that after Kirby beat it, it was reborn back into the tiny ball of light that return back to Elfilin which really tie its connection to Void Termina even further

Something about Fecto Forgo, is that when it consumes a creature, it's brought into an alternate dimension. There's one other being in the Kirbyverse which does this: Kirby himself; in Squeak Squad where you actually interact with the things he consumes, in an alternate dimension. Incidentally, Elfilin is also freed from Elfilis inside a bubble... and abilities/consumed objects are stored inside Kirby in a bubble too. And Leon himself was stored in a bubble

Forgot how nuts Kirby lore is, I actually really liked this one, Kirby lore is so interesting to me tbh

[halloweenlover]

fun fact: if you attack or “damage” a waddle dee (i’ll just say wd) in wd town, they will fall over on the ground for a few seconds before jumping back up and waving at you. however, if you attack a wd in the elevator, nothing happens, most likely because it’s too scared to “play dead” or whatever the hell you wanna call it

[inshaneindamembrane]

I think the scariest part of this is that fecto Elfilis was captured in the first place. Meaning the original inhabitants or one of them specifically is far more powerful than anything Kirby encountered in the New World

[Originalshy]

I think the name of the level, “The wastes were life began” is referencing how the desert was originally an ocean, and life began in the ocean.

[doubleoof]

I’ve always thought “Fecto” was a play on the phrase “Perfecto”, since Fecto is supposed to be the ultimate (in other words, _perfect_ ) life form

He actually gained that ability by absorbing a piece of the heart spears. That's what the pink streaks at the beginning of star allies were, fragments of the heart spears.

[mr.lifebrain]

I kinda wish that after Elfilin and fecto fuse at the end that his his little ear things became conplete. I think that would have been cool

[erdtroll]

So ive ive understood it correctly then…



Gooey:“let our powers combine! Dark!“
Elfillin:“Dream!“
Mirror World Kirby:“Soul!“
Ribbon:“Heart!“
“By your powers combined i am… POYO“

[BaptismFire]

Note: Most kirby games have a acronym with thier stage list that gives the player foresight into the plot if they make sense of it.

Forgotten Land’s is N E W O R LD, which like Star Allie’s, it isn’t that important to the plot unlike Triple Deluxe, Robobo, and Return to Dreamland.

Honestly kirby could be all four traits positively manifested. Chaos really is just random chance with no rules and I kinda feel his copy ability fits in with an ever changing nature of chaos.

[voidastralbirth]

I remember reading about the dark/dream/heart/soul thing, and knew it had to have implied meaning in the future. Fecto Elfilis being dream matter-related was one of the 1st things that crossed my mind!

[nathan]

Fun fact: fecto in Latin means "complete" so fecto forgo could stand for "completely forgotten" a creepy name for an unsettling boss

As for chaos elfilis' second phase... miracle matter comes to mind as it uses some of kirby's abilities like cutter and burning

[SpaceRider]

“And here we are” that line still gives me chills

[Freakyboy-cheo]

Does anyone else see the skybox of Chaos Elfilis as the inside of void terminals shell (when you first go inside void termina)?

[DementedDuskull]

You forgot to mention how every member of beast pack can't actually speak, and Leongar was only able to because of ID-F86's possession. After you free him, he doesn't say another word. It's likely ID-F86 learned how to speak because of the constant jibber jabber of the scientists surrounding it, especially after it became a tourist destination, with the words, "And here we are, " basically being printed into its mind. Likewise, Elfilin can also speak full sentences, being a sub-specimen of ID-F86.

The only thing that bothers me about all of this is the implication that Elfilin is 30+ years old.

It’s always scary when all the other characters have written dialogue, and then one has spoken dialogue.
