==In DededeTour!==
Once Lvl. 6 begins, King Dedede plays through all of the EX stages from previous levels and Stage 7 EX first. From there, all remaining stages of Royal Road are played in one sequence in [[DededeTour!]] except for Stage 8 EX and the sections of stages where [[Hypernova]] is used. Through this sequence, 6 [[Keychain]]s can be found.


===Stage 6 (Bosses)===
In addition, many enemies are re-sized - changing their [[Stamina]] and also possibly movement speed - and [[Queen Sectonia]] and the [[Mid-Bosses]] are changed to their DX forms.


====Story Mode (Bosses: [[Masked Dedede]], [[Queen Sectonia]])====
Finally, in place of [[Sun Stone]]s, portals can be found in many areas allowing [[King Dedede]] to skip parts of the stages. In Royal Road, there are 12 of these portals in total.
[[File:Royal Road Boss.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby opens the final door, in quite dramatic fashion.]]
The stage begins as Kirby rushes down the hall to the main audience chamber, as Taranza flies ahead with [[King Dedede]] as usual. Kirby has the choice along the way between all of the new abilities, [[Archer]], [[Beetle]], [[Bell]] and [[Circus]]. From there, Kirby will reach a giant ornate door, which will slowly open upon activation.


Inside, a cut-scene begins, where Taranza finally speaks to Kirby, chiding him for his persistence, still thinking him little more than a pest. He relays to Kirby the backstory, wherein he sought to foil the plans of the [[People of the Sky]] by stealing the hero their [[Dreamstalk]] had meant to bring up. From there, he [[Masked Dedede|masks Dedede]], and sends him after Kirby to beat him into submission.
Once [[Queen Sectonia]] DX is defeated, King Dedede is pitted against two more foes, not seen in the main Story Mode. These are [[Shadow Dedede]] and [[Dark Meta Knight|Dark Meta Knight's Revenge]].
 
The boss fight takes place on two separate life-bars. Dedede begins the fight by using his hammer, which has been augmented with a missile launcher, and doing his other moves as usual. In the second phase, his mask is damaged, and his hammer destroyed, so he grabs a large axe from one of the statues in the background to continue the fight with. Dedede renews the assault with rapid axe slashes, accompanied by magical assistance from Taranza.
 
When Dedede is finally beaten down, the mask breaks, and he falls unconscious, leaving Taranza to rue the occasion. In his disbelief at having lost, he finally realizes that Kirby is the true hero, and calls on the queen to stop him. When [[Queen Sectonia]] appears before Taranza, she swats him away for his incompetence, then begins to monologue in Kirby's direction about her power and beauty. She then engages Kirby in combat herself, using her two staves and her magic arsenal.
 
[[File:Sectonia Fight 1.jpg|thumb|right|250px|Kirby does battle with Queen Sectonia.]]
 
This fight takes place in three phases, with the second one taking place on a large gem platform in the background. Queen Sectonia fights by swinging her staves to cast magic bolts, summoning minions, and changing her staves to swords to slash with style. Ultimately, despite all this power, she is defeated at the hands of Kirby, which prompts her to take a more drastic approach in the final level, [[Eternal Dreamland]].

====Dededetour! (Bosses: [[Queen Sectonia]] DX, [[Shadow Dedede]], [[Dark Meta Knight]]'s Revenge)====
[[File:Royal Road Dedede 1.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Dedede encounters the [[Dimension Mirror]] after defeating Sectonia.]]
In [[DededeTour!]], Dedede finds himself in the audience chamber, where Queen Sectonia DX appears to fight him without any sort of introduction. The fight plays out similarly to the one in the Main Game, but Sectonia's attacks are more forceful.
 
Once she is defeated, Dedede makes a triumphant pose, when out of nowhere, the [[Dimension Mirror]] appears behind him. Out from the mirror pops a [[Shadow Dedede|dark shadowy copy of the king]], which engages his normal world counterpart in combat. The fight is similar to the main game fight with Masked Dedede, but takes place on one bar of [[Vitality]]. In addition, Shadow Dedede will conjure his own energy orbs from his belly, instead of relying on Taranza (who remains uninvolved in this mode). Upon defeat, Shadow Dedede is knocked down, and shatters into glass shards which then dissipate.
 
[[File:Royal Road Dedede 2.jpg|thumb|250px|left|Dedede is whisked to a familiar netherworld.]]
King Dedede then hops into the Dimension Mirror, and is taken to a shadowy colosseum, reminiscent of the one from ''[[Kirby and the Amazing Mirror]]''. Here the Dimension Mirror appears again, this time releasing a dimly shaded clone of [[Meta Knight]], with a white mask and a silver sword. [[Dark Meta Knight|This dark swordsman]], who had previously been bested by Kirby, now seeks revenge, and Dedede just happens to be the closest target. They fight a battle that takes place in two phases. The first phase is similar to any given encounter with Meta Knight, but the second involves Dark Meta Knight creating mirror images of himself, and causing giant sword spikes to emerge from the ground.
 
[[File:Royal Road Dedede 3.jpg|thumb|250px|right|Dedede finishes the job.]]
Upon defeat, Dark Meta Knight is sucked back into the Dimension Mirror. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dedede leaps up, and smashes the mirror with his hammer. Once destroyed, Dedede does a victory dance, and the game is complete.
