Line 62: Line 62:
President Haltmann's likeness is first seen in Stage 1 of [[Access Ark]], after Kirby has already boarded the mothership. He is later encountered directly at the end of that same level, in the Haltmann Works executive office. He dismisses [[Susie]] after [[Mecha Knight+]] is defeated, and then proceeds to address [[Kirby]] directly. Haltmann then shows him [[Star Dream]], explaining that they'd managed to reactivate it using the knowledge of lost ancient civilizations. He then mans a large mech made of pure gold, called the Executive Suit, and engages Kirby with it.

When he is defeated, he runs a tantrum, calling Kirby and his friends savages. In his rage, he turns to Star Dream and begins to activate it using a special helmet. As he boots it up, however, Susie steals the helmet from him, causing him to black out. As it turns out, Susie was aiming to betray Haltmann this entire time, and take Star Dream for herself. Star Dream itself then intervenes, knocking Susie out as well with a lightning bolt. Star Dream then uses Haltmann's body to declare that it will destroy all of history up to this point, in order to pave the way for 'infinite prosperity'.

At this point, it is explained, primarily through Pause Screen notes, that Haltmann's mind and soul have been intertwined with Star Dream's OS. It is this fusion that sends the computer on a berserk fury. When the machine is finally destroyed, along with [[Access Ark]], Haltmann is destroyed with it.
At this point, it is explained, primarily through Pause Screen notes, that Haltmann's mind and soul have been intertwined with Star Dream's OS. The computer, having been granted sentience, decides to realize Haltmann's wish for "infinite prosperity" by eradicating all organic life. In [[The True Arena]], [[Star Dream Soul OS]] activates its "final program" and begins the process of erasing Haltmann's memories and soul. His voice can be heard throughout Star Dream Soul OS's final phase, crying out every time one of its parts is destroyed and one last time when its "heart" breaks.
