Mid-Boss All Stars is a set of mid-bosses fought in succession in the Kirby series. The set of mid-bosses are fought in place of a standard boss battle, and appear in Kirby Super Star (and its remake), Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby's Return to Dream Land (and its remake), Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Mid-Boss All Stars usually pits the player up against three or four mid-bosses. They are exclusive to Boss Endurance modes, including The Arena and The True Arena. They are generally fought in a colosseum.

Kirby Star Allies[]

As Kirby Star Allies only features five mid-bosses, enemies were added to the mix to pad out the battles. Due to The Ultimate Choice's difficulty scale, sometimes only one of the Mid-Boss All Stars are fought; starting from Fiery Showdown, the mid-bosses are upgraded to their Far-Flung - Starlight Heroes forms and the enemies are changed. Mid-Boss All Stars 1 is fought in seven levels of difficulty (Sweet Breeze, Spicy Adventure, Sizzling Threat, Fiery Showdown, Infernal Crisis, Soul Melter, and Soul Melter EX); Mid-Boss All Stars 2 is fought in eight levels of difficulty (Mild Stroll, Zesty Expedition, Spicy Adventure, Sizzling Threat, Fiery Showdown, Infernal Crisis, Soul Melter, and Soul Melter EX).

Mid-Boss All Stars 1 (Sweet Breeze, Spicy Adventure, Sizzling Threat):

Mid-Boss All Stars 2 (Mild Stroll, Zesty Expedition, Spicy Adventure, Sizzling Threat):

True Mid-Boss All Stars 1 (Fiery Showdown, Infernal Crisis, Soul Melter):

True Mid-Boss All Stars 2 (Fiery Showdown, Infernal Crisis, Soul Melter):

  • Bugzzy
  • Chef Kawasaki
  • Two Floaty the Cell Cores
  • Twin Vividria

True Mid-Boss All Stars 1 EX (Soul Melter EX):


True Mid-Boss All Stars 2 EX (Soul Melter EX):

  • Chef Kawasaki and four Two Faces
  • Vividria, Sizzle Guard, and Blizzard Guard
  • Twin Bugzzy

Kirby and the Forgotten Land[]

Kirby and the Forgotten Land only features four mid-bosses, and as a result, both sets of the Mid-Boss All Stars only features two mid-bosses each. Unlike previous games, there is no visually harder version of the Mid-Boss All Stars, although the Ultimate Cup Z of the Colosseum have the mid-bosses perform harder attacks first seen in encounters in Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams and the Masked Hammer and Morpho Knight Sword Treasure Roads. Both sets of Mid-Boss All Stars are always fought regardless of the cup in the Colosseum.

Trivia[]

  • The "Mid-Boss All Stars" name is only used in Kirby Super Star/Ultra and Kirby: Planet Robobot.
  • The position in which each Mid-boss spawns in changes depending on the game:
    • In Kirby Super Star/Ultra, odd-numbered Mid-bosses (Chef Kawasaki, Bugzzy, Poppy Bros. Sr., Iron Mam, Mr. Tick-Tock, and Phan Phan) spawn to the left of the player, and even-numbered Mid-bosses (Bonkers, Mr. Frosty, Jukid, Grand Wheelie, and Fire Lion) spawn to the right of the player. The Mid-boss always spawns a set distance away from the player based on the player's position when the previous Mid-boss is defeated (or the initial position of the player in the case of the first Mid-boss of each group). This is the only time where a Mid-boss' position is not set.
    • In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, all Mid-bosses spawn at the right side of the coliseum, with the first Mid-boss already being present. Mid-bosses like Bombar, Batafire, and Master Hand, all spawn in the air, at varying heights.
    • In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Mid-bosses spawn on the opposite side of the arena that the player is on. If there are two Mid-bosses, the second one (Bonkers EX in the case of Mid-Boss All Stars 1 EX, and Dubior EX in the case of Mid-Boss All Stars 2 EX) spawns on the same side of the arena that the player is on.
    • In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land, the Mid-bosses have set positions and, like Kirby Super Star/Ultra, alternate between the right and left sides of the arena.
  • All of the Mid-bosses in Kirby Super Star/Ultra’s Mid-Boss All Stars 1 grant Copy Abilities that can only be obtained from Mid-bosses or Copy Essences.
  • All of the Mid-bosses in the True Mid-Boss All Stars are present in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.
  • Bonkers appears in every game in which a Mid-Boss All Stars group is present, if also counting his Wild Bonkers variant in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
  • Kirby: Triple Deluxe’s Mid-Boss All Stars 1 bears resemblance to Kirby Super Star/Ultra’s Mid-Boss All Stars 1, having Bonkers be the second Mid-boss fought, with the third Mid-boss being a beetle (Bugzzy and Hornhead).
  • The alternate colors used by the Mid-boss All Stars in Helper to Hero are from when they're fought in Cavius.
