In the Games

Kirby Super Star/ Ultra

Marx is a major character in Milky Way Wishes in Kirby Super Star and it's remake. he first appears in the beginning to alert Kirby that the Sun and the Moon were fighting, and tells Kirby to gather the power of the surrounding stars and awaken the Galactic NOVA.

After Kirby manages to awaken NOVA, Marx appears and asks it for the ability to rule Popstar. The NOVA then causes him to get larger and grow crystal wings. Kirby then goes after the NOVA, and after successfully stopping it he goes after Marx. Kirby then beats Marx, who is sent flying into the Galactic NOVA, causing it to explode.

It is learned in Kirby Super Star Ultra that after Marx is blown up, his body begins taking in the remaining energy from the NOVA, which brings him back to life in the form of a zombie-like mutant known as Marx Soul.
