'''Hyper Zone''' is the final level in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. It is accessed directly after defeating [[King Dedede]] in the [[Iceberg (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Iceberg]] level, and consists solely of the fight with [[Dark Matter]], then [[Zero]] in the heart of the [[Dark Matter (cloud)|dark cloud]] above [[Popstar]]. It cannot be accessed unless all of the [[Heart Star]]s have been collected.

==Cutscene==
Atop the tower where [[King Dedede]] was fought, Kirby assembles all of the [[Heart Star]]s while his [[Animal Friend]]s watch on. Once all of them are together, they form the [[Love-Love Stick]]. Kirby grabs onto this newly forged weapon, and it carries him into the sky. If [[Gooey]] is present in the party (or cutscene is viewed from the [[Theater]]), he also watches as Love-Love Stick assembles and, once Kirby flies off with it, transforms into his Mock Matter form with orange petals resembling that of Dark Matter and takes off after Kirby.

==Boss: Dark Matter & Zero==

Kirby arrives immediately in the cloud as Dark Matter congeals itself. The fight is a simplified version of the final battle from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', with Dark Matter attacking Kirby via two methods. The first is a series of dark lightning bolts, which it will shoot in one of four general directions, each time shooting four bolts at slightly different angles. The second attack has it splitting off the orange fins surrounding it and lobbing them at Kirby. As these attacks are being done, Kirby has to weave and bob while he shoots his heart projectiles at Dark Matter. He can destroy the orange fins by striking them with the Love-Love Stick or its projectiles, however.

Once Dark Matter is defeated, it dissipates and explodes. This is immediately followed by [[Zero]] taking the scene. Zero attacks in a number of different ways. He can shoot out smaller copies of Dark Matter at Kirby, he can ram Kirby, and he can fire blood projectiles at Kirby from either his standard position or from the background. Like before, Kirby can destroy the blood projectiles by striking them with the Love-Love Stick, though only with a well-timed direct hit from the weapon itself.

When Zero loses his main bar of [[health]], the eye separates from the main body in a rather gory display and pursues Kirby in a last-ditch effort to defeat him. Notably, the eye does not target Kirby's actual position, and instead circles around him directly within reach of the Love-Love Stick, meaning that the best strategy is to simply stay put and swing. After a few more hits, the eye explodes, destroying the threat of Dark Matter and its clan for good.

This done, the Love-Love Stick dispels the dark cloud from the sky, and [[Popstar|Pop Star]]'s rings are restored. The credits roll, and the game is complete.

In [[Story Mode]] of ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', Hyper Zone has a blue background with black moving clouds, tying in with its nature as a mass of Dark Matter in the skies of Pop Star. In [[Boss Butch]], Hyper Zone has a yellow background with red and blue moving clouds. In [[Virtual Console]] releases of ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', the Boss Butch version of Hyper Zone instead features orange and green clouds, possibly to either make Zero's red projectiles easier to see or to reduce the potential risk of seizures.

==Trivia==
*The Boss Butch version of Hyper Zone as it appears in the SNES release of ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'' is used as the background of [[Void]]'s splash screen in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.
*[[HAL Laboratory]] also made a game called [[wikipedia:HyperZone|HyperZone]].
