Another Dimension is the name given to a strange eerie alternate dimension featured many times in the Kirby series. It first appeared concretely in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, though it can be argued to have been present to some extent in earlier titles. It is the home of the Sphere Doomers, as well as several very powerful parallel versions of bosses from Kirby's native dimension. Whenever Kirby and his friends are tasked to enter this dimension, it is usually in order to stop some powerful villains from wreaking havoc in Kirby's home dimension.

Description

An empty portion of Another Dimension, as seen in Template:KRtDL KAW.

Another Dimension is characterized by large empty spaces filled with strange swirling patterns and energy. It can be seen as closely linked to Kirby's native dimension in that several images and impressions of places from said dimension will appear in the background of Another Dimension. Where there is solid ground, it is usually depicted as glowing yellow blocky formations which often shift and can easily crush when doing so. Large spiky star-shaped hazards also float freely in this area, making it generally hostile to navigate through. When visiting an area in Another Dimension resembling one from the main dimension, it is often depicted in a monochrome fashion, though this is temporarily undone whenever a Sphere Doomer is defeated.

Kirby and other characters are capable of opening rifts to Another Dimension from their home dimension using sufficiently powerful attacks or advanced ancient technology. It is implied that such visits can only last a short while, as often, a wall of energy will push in toward Kirby and his allies which will crush them if they take too long.

Kirby and allies first visit Another Dimension in this game. Multiple times through the adventure, Kirby can opens rifts to Another Dimension with the help of the Super Abilities to recover the Lor Starcutter's lost Energy Spheres. When entering these rifts, Kirby loses his super ability, he and allies are transported to a monochromatic area resembling the normal stage in which they were before, and they start being chased by a purple wall of energy seeking to crush them. At the end of these visits to Another Dimension, a Sphere Doomer is fought, which upon defeat, drops a pair of Energy Spheres and restore the color to the area, to then enter another rift that takes the friends back to their native dimension.

Later in the adventure, Kirby and allies mounts on Landia's back to chase and battle Magolor in Another Dimension after he betrayed them. When in the level proper, Kirby and allies fly through the landscape shooting down Doomers in pursuit of Magolor and his ship. The final boss encounter takes place in an eerie glowing area with Popstar visible from a portal in the background. Once Magolor is defeated, the area starts to collapse, a purple wall of energy begins to chase the friends once again, and Landia comes in to rescue Kirby and allies by flying them through the portal before it closes, along with the Lor Starcutter.

In The True Arena, Galacta Knight is battled in a place resembling this dimension as well.

During the battle with Galacta Knight, he will occasionally open a rift to Another Dimension as an attack. Star Dream also appears to be capable of opening rifts to this dimension.

A screencap from Another Dimension in Kirby Star Allies.

The final major update to Kirby Star Allies adds a new mode to the game, which takes place in Another Dimension. Kirby and allies travel there after Hyness' repeated rituals open gateways to five distinct pocket realms contained therein. While in each dimension, Kirby and allies must collect Friend Hearts and battle against tougher parallel versions of familiar bosses. Based on how many hearts were collected, Kirby may be able to save Hyness and The Three Mage-Sisters from the corrupting influence of the Jamba Heart.

Travel to Another Dimension

While there is no clear idea on how travel to and from Another Dimension is performed, it is often done by means of opening a rift there using specific powerful artifacts or techniques. The following is a list of every such entity/technique which has been proven to open such rifts:

• Galacta Knight's attacks
• Kirby's Super Abilities
• Hyness's rituals using the Jamba Heart
• Lor Starcutter's beam and Energy Spheres
• Magolor with the Master Crown
• Some parallel bosses
• Star Dream
