'''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]].

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]]. He is voiced by [[wikipedia:Mugihito|Mugihito]].
 
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.

[[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]]
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.

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 ==
When not piloting his mech, he moves about by means of his hovering golden chair, which suggests a generally sedentary lifestyle.
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.

He then mans a large mech made of pure gold, presumably built by the computer, 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.
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. It is this fusion that sends the computer on a berserk fury. When the machine is finally destroyed, along with [[Access Ark]], Haltmann is destroyed with it.

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.

[[File:Art & Style Magolor Concept Art 2.jpg|thumb|Magolor's concept art from the ''Kirby Art & Style Collection'' that heavily resembles President Haltmann.]]
*Even though [[Susie]] is Haltmann's daughter, he does not seem to recognize her anymore. It is explicitly stated in the Japanese text that Haltmann "cast aside his heart and memories" for the sake of finding Susie, but this is omitted in the English version.<ref>{{quote|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…|Translation of Pres.

*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.
*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.
*Haltmann's voice can be heard when the last phase of [[Star Dream Soul OS]] takes damage and is destroyed.
*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.
*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.
*When Haltmann was defeated by [[Kirby]], he insulted Kirby and other inhabitants on [[Popstar]] as "savages". In the Japanese version, Haltmann said ヤバン ("barbarian"), which interestingly has the same pronunciation as [[Yaban]] the enemy.
*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.
