Rhythm Route is the fifth level of Kirby: Planet Robobot. It has five regular stages, a boss stage, and an EX stage. The level features a densely-packed, extremely-lit cityscape environment with a musical theme, but contains a casino, and a laboratory like the previous levels. There are eighteen Code Cubes to collect in this level, with three in every stage except the Boss one. The bosses are Dedede Clone and Dedede Clones & D3.

Stage 6 (Bosses: Dedede Clone and Dedede Clones & D3)

Susie showcases the Dedede Clone blob to Kirby.

At least seven Code Cubes are needed to break the firewall to this stage.

The stage begins in the city. A series of cannons lead to each pit stop before the boss door. The abilities to choose here are Bomb, Mirror and Leaf.

The boss chamber itself is a somewhat cramped cylindrical chamber lined with what look like speakers. Susie appears from a hatch opening in the middle of the room, once again singing praises to President Haltmann. She once again introduces herself to Kirby, then comments on how he'd beaten Mecha Knight (suggesting an entity named the Mother Computer in the process). Susie then takes out a tube containing a small purple blob, describing him as the latest in nanogenetic technology. She then mentions that the blob has a grudge against Kirby, the blob shaking and growing as she says this. She then releases it, as it floats up into the middle of the room, growing larger, then appearing as a purple clone of King Dedede. She orders the clone to destroy Kirby, then escapes on her helicopter unit.

This fight consists of two separate boss fights in sequence. First, Kirby must defeat the Dedede Clone while the platform they are standing on rises. In the process, the clone splits into three smaller ones. Once the initial Vitality bar is depleted, the clones melt back into goo momentarily, as the platform then reaches the top of the skyscraper, revealing the cityscape in the background. Here, the hatch in the platform opens once again, revealing a large mech bearing Dedede's colors. The clones re-form and hop onto the mech, to initiate the second boss fight. Once this combined force is defeated, the mech explodes, and the Dedede clones finally are destroyed, leaving Kirby to do his dance, and proceed to the next level, Access Ark.

Stage 7 EX

Cubes of water in a train? Don't be ridiculous!

All 15 Code Cubes from the previous stages are required to unlock this one. The stage consists of a mash-up of the various areas from the level, culminating with a fight with Telepathos 2.0.
