| During [[Morpho Knight]]'s battle in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]] and [[The Ultimate Choice]] of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', if player 1 is Marx, Morpho Knight's theme will be replaced by a new orchestral remix of "Vs. Marx". | | Marx becomes a playable [[Dream Friend]] from Version 2.0.0 update onward. During [[Morpho Knight]] fight in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]] and [[The Ultimate Choice]], if 1P is Marx, the stage features a different background (yellowish and upside down) and a new orchestral version of VS. Marx theme plays instead of Morpho Knight's theme. |

(''Boss Battle Medley / Electronic Ver.'') from the ''[[Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track]]''.

| |
