'''Sectonia Clone''' is a surprise [[boss]] encountered near the end of [[Meta Knightmare Returns]] in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. It was created using remnants of [[Queen Sectonia]]'s genetic material harvested from the [[Dreamstalk]], and fights much like the late Queen.

After defeating [[Dark Matter Clone]], [[Star Dream]] sets up the next challenge of "Sword_Master.EXE" for its new admin, [[Meta Knight]]. It brings out a tube containing the clone of Sectonia, and has him battle it.

The following lists all of Sectonia Clone's attacks in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''. It will often teleport to different locations of the arena to set up for most of its attacks.

| {{center|Sectonia Clone moves toward its target, rapidly thrusting its blades in two sets as it does so, then finishing with a large swipe that leaves stars.}}
|-
| '''ブライトネスリング'''<br>''Brightness Ring''
| {{center|Sectonia Clone summons a large spinning golden ring with a sharp edge around itself, then moves gently across the stage with it. After enough time passes, Sectonia Clone moves to the background and summons several large golden sharp disks before tossing them at its target. The last toss splits into two mid-flight.}}
|-
| '''シルバーロッドショット'''<br>''Silver Rod Shot''
| {{center|Sectonia Clone changes its swords into staves, and uses them to fire five beam shots at its target. They leave stars if they hit the ground.}}
|}

In phase 1, the Sectonia Clone attacks in a fixed order on loop as follows:
#Rush (upward)
#Flying Attack (three swipes)
#Continuous Thrust Attack
#Brightness Ring
#Rush (along the ground)
#Flying Attack (two swipes)
#Silver Rod Shot

When Sectonia Clone is reduced to half health, it stumbles for a moment, then intensifies its assault.

| {{center|Sectonia Clone vanishes, and starts warping at rapid speed, leaving vague imprints as it does so. It then appears and attempts to swipe. This attack is repeated twice, three or four times, with the last one being feinted once or twice. The last strike leaves stars on impact.}}

| '''クィンズクラッシュ'''<br>''Queen's Crush''
| {{center|Sectonia Clone changes its swords to staves, holds them high a moment, then brings them crashing down, creating a wave of red crystal that spreads across the stage. This also leaves stars on impact.

In phase 2, the Sectonia Clone begins with this attack:
*Teleport Attack ×4 (last slash is feinted once)

It then proceeds to attack in this fixed order on loop as follows:
#Queen's Crush
#Brightness Ring
#Teleport Attack ×2 (last slash is feinted twice)
#Flying Attack
#Teleport Attack ×3 (last slash is feinted twice)
#Lightning Strike
#Rush
#Lightning Strike
#Rush
#Silver Rod Shot
#Continuous Thrust Attack
#Teleport Attack ×3 (last slash is feinted twice)

Once Sectonia Clone is defeated, it dissolves back into the purple goo from whence it was formed, collapsing tumultuously in on itself before exploding.

The Sectonia Clone is also fought by Kirby, just after [[Dark Matter Clone]], in [[The True Arena]].

==Music==
{{main|Sullied Grace}}
Sectonia Clone's Theme is titled '''''Faded & Flower''''' in the Japanese soundtrack. It's a muddy remix of '''''Sullied Grace'''''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s second section (organ & electric guitar) from ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''.

==Trivia==
*While Sectonia Clone looks and acts practically identical to the original, there are some subtle differences between them. Unlike Queen Sectonia, who changes her staves into swords when necessary, Sectonia Clone does the opposite. The shine in its eyes is missing, and its voice is [[wikipedia:bitcrusher|bitcrushed]], similarly to [[Susie]] and [[President Haltmann]]. Most notably, all of the hearts on its design (on its thorax, crown, and collar) are split in two. Given the similar broken heart aesthetic on its creator, Star Dream, this similarity marks it as the computer's creation.
*Since Meta Knight was not present in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', this was the first opportunity for him to battle anything resembling Queen Sectonia.
*When defeated, the clone dissolves into the purple goo it once formed from. Much like how [[Dark Matter Clone]] briefly takes its true form before it explodes, Sectonia Clone briefly reveals its true form: a figure very similar to [[Taranza]], but with various differences in design. In a [[Miiverse]] post, it was stated that Sectonia originally resembled her insectoid subjects before using magic to attain her final wasp-like form, so this is presumably what she originally looked like.
**The "Rockabilly and Blues" [[Celebration Picture]] and one of the [[Stone]] transformations in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' both depict Taranza and this Taranza-esque character together, further indicating her being Sectonia's original form.
*Sectonia Clone's pause description mentions that "its data contains elements of creatures spanning 1,000 years". This implicitly refers to Queen Sectonia's parasitic nature, which is described in the special pages for both [[Sectonia Vine]] and [[Soul of Sectonia]].
