Another Dimension is a location in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

General Information[]

Another Dimension is a series of alternate dimensions different than Kirby’s universe. The only way to access and exit Another Dimension is through dimensional rifts, which appear in various places when the fabric of spacetime has broken down, or when they are opened by powerful beings or objects.

Another Dimension is portrayed as strange and mysterious worlds, as while it mostly consists of nothing but space, it also has some places that would be seen in Kirby’s home dimension, such as grasslands, beaches, forests, towers, and even an alternate version of Castle Dedede, in which Parallel Dedede resides in. In Kirby Star Allies, it is shown that some areas in Another Dimension have what appears to be a colored sky, clouds, and even a sun. Another Dimension is also shown to contain planets, such as its own versions of Halcandra located in some of its dimensions.

Games[]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[]

KPR Maxim Tomato Main article: Dimensional rift

Throughout Kirby's adventures on Planet Popstar and Halcandra in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, there are dimensional rifts which can be revealed using Super Abilities throughout various stages which lead to dangerous areas in Another Dimension. The Dimensional Wall perpetually threatens the place to collapse onto itself. The usual fauna seen on Popstar and Halcandra are sometimes present in these areas, presumably having entered through the rift before Kirby did. These areas are monochrome in Kirby's Return to Dream Land but are colored in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, albeit desaturated; the color is restored when the looming Sphere Doomer(s) is/are defeated.

Another Dimension also serves the eighth and final level. A dimensional rift leading to Another Dimension is opened by Magolor using the power of the Master Crown in order for him to take over Planet Popstar, beginning his scheme of conquering the universe. It is the only level that cannot be accessed from the world map, and can only be accessed after defeating Landia or by going to Dangerous Dinner, entering the door leading to Stage 4, and selecting "Final Challenge" from the option selection screen.

At this point, Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee already realized that they have been misled into fighting against Landia, who was really protecting the Master Crown from Magolor, who previously made a failed attempt to steal it. After Magolor disappears into the newly-opened dimensional rift, Landia offers his assistance and the team takes off in pursuit.

Another Dimension revolves around Kirby and his friends riding Landia within shooter-style stages, where Kirby has to traverse through mazes in order to complete the stage. Along the way, there are also doomers that stand in Kirby's way, and Landia has to be used to either shoot them or Spiral Dragon through them. Unlike previous levels, there is no stage selection screen; every time Another Dimension is played, the player is taken directly to the first stage, with no option of selecting later stages; this also means that each stage automatically loads upon the completion of the prior stage.

KPR Maxim Tomato Main article: Lor Starcutter#Battle

After completing the first two stages, Magolor will appear, summoning the Lor Starcutter, now in a different color scheme. Kirby has to down the Lor Starcutter by shooting it using Landia. After downing the Lor, Magolor will flee the scene and Kirby and his friends follow him. During the pursuit, Magolor fires two dark orbs, which Meta Knight deflects with his sword. Magolor then fires a barrage of dark orbs, knocking out King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee in the process. Meta Knight deflects another one with his sword, before being struck down, then finally, Kirby is knocked off of Landia as the team falls to the ground below.

KPR Maxim Tomato Main article: Magolor#Battle

A room with the copy essences appears before Magolor's fight. Upon entering the door, the battle with Magolor starts. Magolor's attacks include teleporting multiple, times, launching dark orbs, and create spikes that burst from the ground. After hitting half health, Magolor will then start the second phase by creating a black hole, sucking Kirby in; if Kirby is caught, he loses his ability and takes a lot of damage in the black hole before being ejected from it. Attacks in the second phase include summoning a giant laser at Kirby, and blasting fireballs at him from the background.

After losing most of his health, Magolor will create a shield, similar to the one created by Grand Doomer, but with five shield points instead of four, Magolor's attacks in this phase include the continuation of summoning dark orbs, as well as summoning enemies, one of which will contain a Super Ability. After dealing two hits with a Super Ability, Magolor will disperse the Super Ability (notably, this also disperses other abilities other Kirbys have when playing in multiplayer). When Magolor has one shield point left, he summons a Super Blade Knight so Kirby can get the Ultra Sword ability. After destroying the last piece of his shield, Magolor will attempt to disperse Kirby's ability and recover the piece; Kirby has to use this moment to swing the Ultra Sword at him and force him into a deadlock. The player has to shake the Wii Remote in the original or shake the controller/move the left joystick in the remake in order to slice through Magolor's defenses. After landing a final strike on the Master Crown, Kirby makes a pose as Magolor seemingly dissolves.

However, the Master Crown reincarnates into a stronger form of Magolor, who starts the battle by dispersing Kirby's Ultra Sword. In this form, Magolor's attacks include juggling enemies and throwing them at Kirby, creating rifts and flying through them to ram Kirby, and drawing a shape in the background, before pushing it into the foreground, which damages anyone in its path. After losing half of his HP, Magolor will summon his own Super Abilities, using them against Kirby. These attacks include summoning Ultra Swords and swinging them horizontally multiple times before swinging them both vertically, firing Monster Flame's fire dragons to ram into Kirby, and turning himself into, and summoning, large energy balls, used to replicate the effectss fo Flare Beam, before moving around the area, then flying from the foreground into the background. After Magolor's HP is depleted, he dissolves while retreating to the background, then the effects of the crown wear off as the crown shatters and Magolor is sent to the deepest depths of Another Dimension.

As Kirby and his friends stand in Another Dimension, the shattering of the Master Crown starts tearing the dimension apart, and the portal back to Popstar starts to close, when Landia and the Lor Starcutter, having recovered from the battle with Magolor and being struck down, appear and the former pick up the heroes, whereas the latter reopens the portal back. All nine entities pass through the portal just before it closes. Kirby is next seen sleeping on the ground of Dream Land when a butterfly lands on his face, waking him up. Kirby then sees Bandana Waddle Dee and Meta Knight next to him, then see King Dedede struggle to get his head out of the ground, having a flower pop onto his head when he does. After a short laugh, the team notices that Landia and the Lor is flying just above them, then Landia and the Lor fly back through a portal in the sky, as the heroes wave farewell.

All Copy Abilities (excluding Sleep) can be obtained from the enemies summoned by Magolor's final form and Magolor Soul. However, most of the enemies that yield particular Copy Abilities (such as Owgulf and Walky) are only summoned if Kirby dropped his ability to obtain a Super Ability during the fight against Magolor's first form/Magolor EX; as such, the Copy Abilities that Kirby can obtain in Another Dimension vary depending on what ability (or abilities, if any at all) Kirby and company brought with them.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, a randomized Copy Essence and Copy Essences for Mecha and Sand were added to the room before the Magolor boss fight.

Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler[]

After Magolor is defeated in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, he is sent to an unknown realm of Another Dimension, with his clother tattered. Weakened and powerless, Magolor wakes up, and after exploring around for a bit, is ambushed by a group of doomers. After defeating them, the first Fruit Fragment appears, and Magolor collects it. Magolor then enters a rift leading to the Ethereal Altar.

Magolor sets out to find the other Fruit Fragments to restore his powers, each fragment located in different dimensions inside Another Dimension, guarded by one of four bosses: Electricky Dooter in Aerogree Dimension, Fiery Puffer in Pyred Dimension, Hydriath in Poseiblu Dimension, and the Rampaging Doomers in Locandra Dimension. After restoring the Gem Apple Seed, it is surrounded by the remnants of the Master Crown, creating the Crowned Doomer. Magolor destroys it, but the shards posess the seed itself and turns it into a tree-like monster. After defeating the Master Crown, Mgaolor puulls a sword out of the goround and transforms it into his own Ultra Sword, striking down the Master Crown for good.

Magolor then watches as a dimensional rift opens up in front of him, likely created from the destruction of the Master Crown. Magolor enters it, finding himself in the Dream Kingdom's Castle Village and dressed in new robes. Magolor sets up shoppe in the village, leading up to the events of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[]

In the New Challenge Stages mode, Kirby races Magolor in a few locations on Planet Popstar. Two of these races, Magolor Race 3 and Magolor Race EX, take place in Another Dimension, as the locations have the same background as the inside of the dimensional rifts.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[]

Another Dimension is the seventh and last stage in Kirby Fighters. It is the only stage to not reappear in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, instead being replaced by the Fountain of Dreams.

Another Dimension is a very basic stage, being just flat terrain, no hazards or platforms. The ground is a thin layer of amber over a dark purple. The background features a glowing red orb with a web extending from it, as well as shapes that resemble gears with varying amounts of cogs. This stage is always the last stage in single-player, in which the player fights against Shadow Kirby, who is using the same Copy Ability as the player.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash[]

In Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, a dimensional rift will ocassionally open to spawn Greater Doomers as Team Kirby advances through the Quest Board. Taranza also opens up a dimensional rift of his own, summoning parallel versions of Susie and Landia from Another Dimension. In Super Kirby Clash, Parallel Nightmare somehow escapes from Another Dimension in hopes of ruling over the Dream Kingdom.

While Another Dimension does not appear physically in both of these games, the Dreamscape and the Decisive Battlefield both take elements from Another Dimension within their backgrounds.

Kirby Star Allies[]

KPR Maxim Tomato Main article: Heroes in Another Dimension
Another Dimension

Another Dimension returns as the main setting for the Heroes in Another Dimension sub-game. In it, the player travels through five stages in Another Dimension, collecting Friend Hearts and going through Hero Doors that change Player 1 into a Dream Friend. Parallel versions of previous bosses, such as Whispy Woods, Kracko, Meta Knight, and King Dedede, are fought here. A fight with a corrupted version of Hyness takes place near the end, and The Three Mage-Sisters return as bosses once again, this time fighting as a trio instead of individually, and serve as this mode's final boss.

Trivia[]

KRtDL Another Dimension background level sprites

Background sprites of past levels (brightened for clarity).

  • Transparent images of the past levels can be seen in the background of Another Dimension in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. The ones found in the first segment of the level are harder to see, but the ones that appear during the Lor & Magolor battle are more visible.
  • The internal file name for Another Dimension's theme in Kirby's Return to Dream Land is "st_halberd.brstm". This may imply that the Halberd would have originally been involved in some way, although this is not confirmed.
    • What is more likely is that this music is taken from the cancelled Kirby GCN game, as the file name looks like the ones taken from GCN.
  • In Kirby: Triple Deluxe’s Kirby Fighters sub-game, Another Dimension parallels with the recurring stage in the Super Smash Bros. series, Final Destination, being a flat arena and where the last battle takes place, and generally depicted as floating in space.
    • Notably, the first appearance of Final Destination, Super Smash Bros., had the stage exclusive to the 1P mode, for the the final boss fight, similar to how Another Dimension is used as the final stage of Single Player Mode, and is also used for the final boss of said mode.
  • Another Dimension is mentioned in Kirby: Planet Robobot; in the backstory for Susie and President Haltmann (revealed through several Boss descriptions of Meta Knightmare Returns), Susie was accidentally transported to Another Dimension after an experiment with the Mother Computer went wrong, which caused her father to believe she had perished. Susie eventually managed to find a way out of Another Dimension. It is implied that during her time there she obtained data on the Sphere Doomers, which she later input into the Holo Defense API.
  • The Treasure Roads in Kirby and the Forgotten Land heavily resemble Another Dimension.
  • In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Helper Magolor cannot be used, since he is now a boss. Trying to activate Helper Magolor will create the message, "Magolor's help is unavailable here. You'll need to overcome this challenge on your own!"
