<onlyinclude>{{#ifeq:{{{transcludesection|}}}|lead|
'''President Haltmann''' (full name '''Max Profitt Haltmann''') is a character in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', serving as the game's primary antagonist. He is President of the [[Haltmann Works Company]], even receiving the dignity of an [[The Noble Haltmann|anthem in his glory]], and is responsible for the invasion of [[Popstar|Planet Popstar]] and many worlds before it. He manages this invasion from the comfort of his executive suite on the Haltmann Works' flagship, the planet-sized [[Access Ark]], powered by an [[List of rumors of ancient civilizations in the Kirby series|ancient relic]] which he refers to as the [[Star Dream|Mother Computer]].

In ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', President Haltmann is not formally introduced until the [[Access Ark - Stage 6|final stage]] of the level [[Access Ark]] (though allusions to him exist prior to this point). He is faced as the final [[boss]] of the level, engaging [[Kirby]] using his "Executive Suit" (a large robot suit made of solid gold and covered in jewels). After Kirby defeats him, President Haltmann attempts to take revenge by activating the Mother Computer, but is sabotaged by his Executive Assistant [[Susie]], inadvertently causing Haltmann's mind to merge with Star Dream's and causing the computer to go haywire. After Kirby and [[Meta Knight]] defeat Star Dream, President Haltmann is presumably destroyed along with it, and the invasion of Popstar comes to an end.

== Physical appearance ==
[[File:KPR Haltmann portrait 3.png|thumb|200px|Portrait of President Haltmann sitting in his hover chair from [[Access Ark - Stage 1]], showing his large bulbous figure]]
President Haltmann is fairly large and egg-shaped, with pale skin, and disembodied hands and feet. He sports solid cyan eyes, a prominent brow, and purple hair and moustache. He wears a very dark indigo suit with a maroon tie and pink collar. He also sports a small golden radio piece on the side of his head. His gloves and body are adorned with gold-encrusted rubies. Similar to [[Susie]]'s Business Suit, he has a solid gold mech named the Executive Suit. When not in the suit, he moves about by means of his hovering golden chair, which suggests a generally sedentary lifestyle, as he is never seen walking or even standing up.

== Relation to Susie ==
Though not explicitly stated through dialogue, pause screen flavor text and additional details imply that Susie is meant to be President Haltmann's daughter, who managed to return to her native dimension after an incident involving Star Dream stranded her in a different dimension before the events of ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''. Susie being the president's daughter was later confirmed outright in the "Ask-a-thon" event held on [[Miiverse]], though other details about her past were left unanswered.<ref>{{Cite|Susie is not a clone; she is Haltmann’s real daughter. I’d had in mind two story paths - one in which you finish the game and the story concludes comfortably even without knowing Susie’s identity, and one that reveals more answers after you sink a lot of time into the game. But in Planet Robobot, the story is designed with just a small twist to surprise you when you find out Susie’s last name.|[[Shinya Kumazaki]]|[[List of HAL Laboratory Miiverse posts - Kirby: Planet Robobot|''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' Behind the Scenes]] on [[Miiverse]]}}</ref> Despite this familial relation, Haltmann does not seem to recognize her anymore. It is explicitly stated in the Japanese and Korean texts that Haltmann "cast aside his heart and memories" for the sake of finding his daughter, which is simplified in other languages to merely "dedicating his life to the company".<ref>{{quote|フルネームは「ゲインズ インカム ハルトマン」。<br>かつて ひとり娘を じこで なくし、それいらい 人の心も<br>きおくさえも すて、カンパニーの成長の ためだけに<br>生きる男。だがそれも、娘に ふたたび会いたい<br>ただその ねがいを かなえるため であったのだが…。<br>Literal translation: "His full name is "Gains Income Haltmann".<br>He once lost his only daughter in an accident, and ever since then,<br>the man has been casting aside his heart and even his memories,<br>living only for the sake of his company’s growth.<br>But even that too was only for the sake of granting his wish -<br>to see his daughter once more…"|Vs.

}}
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. 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.

==== Meta Knightmare Returns ====
President Haltmann is encountered at the end of the Access Ark stage, this time as '''Pres. Haltmann 2.0'''. After his defeat at the hands of [[Meta Knight]], [[Star Dream]] appoints the victor as the new admin. Haltmann is not seen again after this point.

==== Other appearances ====
President Haltmann is encountered as a Boss in [[The Arena]], and his 2.0 form in [[The True Arena]]. He is also seen again during the [[The Noble Haltmann|special performance video]] which is unlocked upon [[100% completion]] of the game.

Haltmann's likeness can be collected as a [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|sticker]], which is awarded for collecting every [[Code Cube]] in the game.

==== Boss Battle ====

The following lists all of President Haltmann's attacks in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''. Most of Haltmann's attack names listed are taken from the Japanese strategy guide, which mostly are related to office and business.

===== Phase 1 =====
[[File:KPR President Haltmann battle 1.png|thumb|right|250px|Haltmann prepares to launch his drones in Phase 1 of the battle.]]
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2" width="70%"

|-
!'''Attack'''
!'''Description'''
|-
|'''ミス・オフィサー'''<br>''Ms. Officer''
|Haltmann launches his four [[Susie]]-shaped drones, which home in on Kirby and leave stars on impact. They can be swallowed for the [[Spark]] ability (or [[Bomb]] ability if swallowed during explosion).<br>He may hop on the giant cube in the arena's center and fire four drones which home in on Kirby, while spraying Haltmann dollar bills to cover the screen.
*This is similar to [[Susie]]'s Drillbit missiles.
|-
|'''オフィス・エグゼクティブローテート'''<br>''Office Executive Rotate''
|Haltmann attaches to the central platform, and spins repeatedly around it, leaving two stars when the attack concludes. Four drones are deployed before the attack starts and will spin in sync with Haltmann.
*This is similar to [[Susie]]'s Spin Cycle Dash, which is named "Heavy Rotate Dance" in Japanese.
|-
|'''Drone Dance'''
|Haltmann deploys four drones, then hops down to the ground level, while the drones do the same. Then all five entities hop around the stage in synchronicity.
*This is similar to [[Susie]]'s Driver Slam.
|-
|'''ハルトマニーキャッシュ'''<br>''Haltmann Cash''
|Haltmann fires a multitude of Haltmann dollar bills into the air, which partially obscure the screen.
|}

In phase 1, Haltmann attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:

===== Phase 2 =====
[[File:KPR President Haltmann battle 2.png|thumb|right|250px|Haltmann summons a Yesman robot to deal with Kirby in Phase 2 of the battle.]]
When Haltmann has lost one-fifth of his [[Health]], he lowers the central column in the battlefield, changing the arena into a straightforward one.
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2" width="70%"
!colspan=2|'''Attacks - Phase 2'''
|-
!'''Attack'''
!'''Description'''
|-
|'''アサイン ザ OJT'''<br>''Assign the OJT''
|Haltmann rises into the air, and summons a [[Yesman]] to deal with Kirby. Haltmann himself takes severely reduced damage during this attack. The minion leaves a star whenever it punches.
*OJT is the abbreviation of 'On-the-Job Training'.
|-
|'''エグゼクティブローテート'''<br>''Executive Rotate''
|Haltmann charges up and does a spin dash across the stage, several times, and in several different patterns. He occasionally leaves a star in his wake.
*This is similar to [[Susie]]'s Spin Cycle Dash, which is named "Heavy Rotate Dance" in Japanese.
*He may also use a more massive spin attack where he slowly ascends and then crashes down causing shockwaves on each side.
|-
|'''エグゼクティブミサイル'''<br>''Executive Missile''
|Haltmann jumps into the air, hovers for a moment, then fires the ruby attached to the bottom of his mech on the ground, leaving a magenta conflagration where it hits. This attack repeats four more times. Each shot can be swallowed for the [[Bomb]] ability.<br>Haltmann may instead jump into the air, and fire five ruby-shaped bolts from the bottom of his mech onto the arena, which stay on the ground for a bit before Haltmann makes them explode. The rubies can be inhaled before they explode.
|-
|'''ドライバーフォール'''<br>''Driver Slam''
|Haltmann leaps twice and then jumps high into the air, spins his mech's arms around, and then comes crashing down, leaving small shockwaves off to the side on impact.
|}

In phase 2, Haltmann attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Assign the OJT
#Executive Rotate
#Executive Missile (teleporting before dropping five bombs)
#Driver Slam
#Executive Missile (five ruby bombs from center of arena)
#Executive Rotate (stationary)
#Driver Slam
#Driver Slam
#Executive Missile (teleporting before dropping five bombs)

===== Phase 3 =====
[[File:KPR President Haltmann battle 3.png|thumb|right|250px|Haltmann has more cash than he knows what to do with...]]
When Haltmann is down to half health, he smashes a hole in the middle of the arena, making it a circular one again.
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2" width="70%"
!colspan=2|'''Attacks - Phase 3'''
|-
!'''Attack'''
!'''Description'''
|-
|'''キックオフパーティ'''<br>''Kickoff Party''
|Haltmann fires a multitude of drones, which bombard the arena in a large wave.
*Kickoff parties/meetings signal the start of a new project in the corporate world.
|-
|'''ハルトマニーキャッシュ'''<br>''Haltmann Cash''
|Haltmann fires a multitude of Haltmann dollar bills into the air, which partially obscure the screen.
|-
|'''アジャイル'''<br>''Agile''
|Haltmann does a spin dash around the arena. After completing one full loop, he jumps across the hole, leaving stars on impact and repeats the dash maneuver two more times.
*This is similar to [[Susie]]'s Spin Cycle Dash.
*Agile methodology is a process used in project management of the corporate world, especially technology related projects.
|-
|'''ビジネストリップ'''<br>''Business Trip''
|Haltmann performs a series of 12 bounces across the arena, leaving stars wherever he lands.
|-
|'''アサイン ザ OJT'''<br>''Assign the OJT''
|Haltmann summons two Yesmen into the arena. Haltmann takes minimal damage while they are out.
|}

In phase 3, Haltmann begins with this attack:
*Kickoff Party

After that, Haltmann attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Haltmann Cash
#Agile
#Business Trip
#Haltmann Cash
#Assign the OJT
#Agile
#Haltmann Cash
#Assign the OJT
#Haltmann Cash
#Business Trip

{{clear}}

===== Phase 4 =====
[[File:KPR President Haltmann battle 4.png|thumb|right|250px|Haltmann goes a little cube-crazy in Phase 4 of the battle]]
When Haltmann is down to one-fifth of his health, he "opens the office" (オープン ザ オフィス) by conjuring a large square platform to appear in the middle of the arena, and creating holes in it.
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2" width="70%"
!colspan=2|'''Attacks - Phase 4'''
|-
!'''Attack'''
!'''Description'''
|-
|'''リストラ・ショック'''<br>''Restructuring Shock''
|After summoning two Yesmen into the arena, Haltmann jumps into the cube, and causes it to fire large beams outward. The third attack causes the cube to swivel before it commences.
*Even the Yesmen are fired by the beams, ironically.
*The lasers can be dodged by simply [[hovering]] to the top of the stage.
|-
|'''オフィス・ストライク'''<br>''Office Strike''
|Haltmann fires his mech like a drill into the cube, which causes him to warp after firing through. If Kirby is still on ground level afterwards, he will then crash into the ground and produce shockwaves and stars.
*This is an upgrade of [[Susie]]'s Tower Strike.
|-
|'''キックオフパーティ'''<br>''Kickoff Party''
|Haltmann fires a multitude of drones, which bombard the arena in a large wave.
|-
|'''ミス・オフィサー'''<br>''Ms. Officer''
|Haltmann launches his four [[Susie]]-shaped drones, which home in on Kirby through the open holes of the giant cube in the arena's center and leave stars on impact. They can be swallowed for the [[Spark]] ability (or [[Bomb]] ability if swallowed during explosion).
*This is similar to [[Susie]]'s Drillbit missiles.
|-
|}

In phase 4, Haltmann always starts with these attacks:
*Restructuring Shock
*Office Strike (charged) x2
*Kickoff Party
*Ms. Officer [1 set]
*Ms. Officer [1 set]
*Haltmann Cash
*Office Strike x2

After that, he then attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Restructuring Shock
#Office Strike (charged) x3
#Haltmann Cash
#Ms. Officer [1 set]
#Ms. Officer [1 set]
#Kickoff Party
#Office Strike (charged) x3
#Ms. Officer [2 sets]
#Haltmann Cash
#Office Strike x2
#Ms. Officer [1 set]

Once Haltmann is defeated, he attempts to pilot his mech further, but it short-circuits and explodes on him, leaving him helpless in his chair, as singed Haltmann dollars rain down on him.

====Pres. Haltmann 2.0====

In [[Meta Knightmare Returns]] and [[The True Arena]] Haltmann is fought as '''Pres. Haltmann 2.0''', similar to most other bosses. Similar to Susie 2.0, his actual design stays the same and only his Executive Suit changes in appearance, with it having black and platinum accents in addition to the original gold.

The following lists all of Pres. Haltmann 2.0's attacks in Meta Knightmare Returns and The True Arena:
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2" width="70%"
!colspan=2|'''Attacks - 2.0'''
|-
!'''Attack'''
!'''Description'''
|-
|'''ミス・オフィサー'''<br>''Ms. Officer''
|Haltmann 2.0 launches his six [[Susie]]-shaped drones, which home in on Kirby or Meta Knight and leave stars and an electric field on impact. They can be swallowed for the [[Spark]] ability (or [[Bomb]] ability if swallowed during explosion). The drones can be destroyed, though they are fairly durable.<br>He may hop on the giant cube in the arena's center and fire six drones which home in on Kirby or Meta Knight, while spraying Haltmann dollar bills to cover the screen.<br>In phase 4, he may fire the drones through the cube.
|-
|'''オフィス・エグゼクティブローテート'''<br>''Office Executive Rotate''

|-
|'''Drone Dance 2.0'''
|Haltmann 2.0 deploys six drones, then hops down to the ground level, while the drones do the same. Then all seven entities hop around the stage in synchronicity. Every third jump goes further than the others and lets them stomp three times.
|-
|'''ハルトマニーキャッシュ'''<br>''Haltmann Cash''
|Haltmann 2.0 fires a multitude of Haltmann dollar bills into the air, which partially obscure the screen. This is often directly followed up with other attacks.
|-
|'''アサイン ザ OJT'''<br>''Assign the OJT''
|Haltmann 2.0 rises into the air, and summons a [[Yesman|Yesman 2.0]] to deal with Kirby or Meta Knight. Haltmann himself takes severely reduced damage during this attack. The minion leaves a star whenever it punches and moves faster than the original battle.<br>In Phase 3 and 4, Haltmann 2.0 summons four Yesmen 2.0 into the arena instead of one.
|-
|'''エグゼクティブローテート'''<br>''Executive Rotate''
|Haltmann 2.0 charges up and does a spin dash across the stage, several times, and in several different patterns. He occasionally leaves a star in his wake. He may also jump if Kirby or Meta Knight are currently in the air. He may also use a more massive spin attack where he slowly ascends and then crashes down causing shockwaves on each side. He lifts up and crashes down three times in a row, with the final crash causing bigger shockwaves.
|-
|'''エグゼクティブミサイル'''<br>''Executive Missile''
|Haltmann 2.0 jumps into the air, hovers for a moment, then fires the ruby attached to the bottom of his mech on the ground, leaving an electrical conflagration where it hits. This attack repeats several times. Each shot can be swallowed for the [[Bomb]] ability. He can also use the ruby similar to Susie's '''Drillbit''', but fires five projectiles instead of four and does so twice.
|-
|'''ドライバーフォール'''<br>''Driver Slam''
|Haltmann 2.0 jumps high into the air, then comes crashing down, leaving stars on the final impact. He repeats the huge jump three times in a row, with the final jump causing shockwaves and stars to appear on each side.
|-
|'''キックオフパーティ'''<br>''Kickoff Party''
|Haltmann 2.0 fires a multitude of drones, which bombard the arena in a large wave. He fires two strings of these, which move in the same direction.
|-
|'''アジャイル'''<br>''Agile''
|Haltmann 2.0 does a faster spin dash around the arena. After completing one full loop, he jumps across the hole, leaving stars on impact and repeats the dash maneuver two more times. Stars are left behind after the attack concludes.
|-
|'''ビジネストリップ'''<br>''Business Trip''
|Haltmann 2.0 performs a series of bounces across the arena, leaving stars wherever he lands. He does a spin attack after three and six jumps, before concluding with nine more jumps.
|-
|'''リストラ・ショック'''<br>''Restructuring Shock''
|After summoning four Yesmen 2.0 into the arena, Haltmann 2.0 jumps into the cube, and causes it to fire large beams outward. The third attack causes the cube to swivel for the duration of the attack. If hit, Kirby or Meta Knight will be launched towards the screen, breaking the [[fourth wall]].
|-
|'''オフィス・ストライク'''<br>''Office Strike''
|Haltmann 2.0 fires his mech like a drill into the cube. The cube swivels in an attempt to home in on Kirby or Meta Knight. Assuming Kirby or Meta Knight are still grounded afterwards, he then crashes into the ground and produces shockwaves and stars. He may charge up this attack through the cube, causing the shockwaves to become bigger, slower and last longer in the process. 
|}

President Haltmann 2.0's attack orders across every phase in Meta Knightmare Returns and The True Arena are the exact same as those in the regular battle in Story Mode and The Arena.

=== ''Kirby Star Allies'' ===
The pause flavor text of [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!|Guest Star Susie Extermination By Blaster❤]] reconfirms that President Haltmann and his company have been destroyed during the events of ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''.<ref>{{cite|{{Large|[[Haltmann Works Company|The company]] he built... I will bring it back!}}<br>Cool and collected, [[Susie]] from [[Kirby: Planet Robobot]] is all business. Following in the footsteps of her employer, she uses science to advance her mission- mechanizing new planets and peoples.|[[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!|Guest Star Susie]]|''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''}}</ref> Thus, he is deceased as of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. However, his portrait still makes some cameo appearances in ''Kirby Star Allies'':
*He is portrayed in the "Robobot Memories" [[Celebration Picture]].
*In Version 4.0.0, a stone plate of him and [[Susie]] can be found in the [[Echo's Edge]] stage.

=== ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' ===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', a [[Character Treat]] depicting President Haltmann can be collected. The treat uses the same artwork as the sticker from ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''.

=== ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' ===
In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', there is a [[Mask#Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|Dress-Up Mask]] based on President Haltmann which replaces the wearer's voice with his voice clips from ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' when worn. It is awarded upon completing card #45 in the [[Stamp Rally]].

== Music ==
{{main|The Noble Haltmann}}
{{main|Crazy Rolling in Money}}
President Haltmann is often associated with these musical themes:
*'''"The Noble Haltmann"''' - The anthem of his company in his own glory. His boss battle Special Page shows verse 1 of its lyrics. The song is performed by [[Susie]] several times during the course of ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', and the full version can be heard in the [[100% completion]] bonus movie.
*'''"Crazy Rolling in Money"''' - His boss battle theme with shifting tempo.

==Trivia==
[[File:Art & Style Magolor Concept Art 2.jpg|thumb|Magolor's concept art from the ''Kirby Art & Style Collection'' that heavily resembles President Haltmann.]]
*The dollar bills that spew out of Haltmann's mech have his face on them. The purple bills that spew out of Haltmann 2.0's mech, however, have Susie's face on them.
*Haltmann's voice features a [[wikipedia:bitcrusher|bitcrush]] effect in-game; it is noticeably lower-quality than the voices of most other characters. This trait is shared by [[Susie]] and [[Sectonia Clone]]. Interestingly, the [[Mask#Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|Dress-Up Mask]] based on Haltmann in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' does not feature a bitcrush effect for its voice.
*The [[Invader Armor]], [[Robobot Armor]] and [[Sword Hero]]'s [[Magolor's Shoppe#Armor|Haltonium Helm]] are made of a "Haltonium alloy" which is named after Haltmann himself.
*In ''Kirby: Art & Style Collection'', a section depicting concept art for [[Magolor]] includes early designs for his "normal" and "evil" forms, each of which feature various details that would be incorporated into Haltmann's design. Both designs feature an egglike body, a large mustache, upwards-pointing tufts of hair on the back of the head, and gloved, disembodied hands, the early version of "normal" Magolor features blue skin & eyes and mittenlike hands, and the early version of "evil" Magolor features a similarly-shaped handlebar mustache.
*The name "Haltmann" may be an under-the-table reference to Halman, from ''[[wikipedia:3001: The Final Odyssey|3001: The Final Odyssey]]''. This character is the result of a fusion of [[wikipedia:David Bowman (Space Odyssey)|man]] and [[wikipedia:Hal 9000|machine]], just like the late president and the [[Star Dream|Mother Computer]], who itself shares similarities to HAL 9000.
