To sell more crops, he comes up with a plan to mass produce hungry Kirby copies who will eat all the food in Dream Land, forcing all the residences to buy Tron's awful vegetables. He steals Cron's invention, the printer, and comes to Castle Dedede. He tells Waddle Dee that he came to see King Dedede's magnificence. Dedede, overjoyed to hear it, lets Tron in, and Tron showers him in compliments. Tron introduces himself as a master inventor who wants to see the mightiest king in the galaxy. He offers to organize a tournament to spread the word about King Dedede. When Dedede expresses a concern about Kirby, Tron shows him the printer and tells him to uses it to exhaust Kirby. Tron records the data of Waddle Dee with a special camera to test run the printer and says that the copies of Waddle Dee will be a great help.
A week later, as Kirby and Waddle Dee walk toward Dedede's Cake Royale, Tron captures Kirby in his camera, using it to produce Kirby copies. After Kirby learns about his copies, Tron explains that the copies lack compassion and kindness. During the tournament, Tron continues to urge Dedede to create more Kirby copies, gradually annoying him. Eventually, King Dedede gets tired from the Kirby copies and declines Tron's offer to create a Kirby copy for the finals, challenging Kirby himself. After Dedede's defeat, Tron comes and whisper to him about a secret weapon that he can use on the top floor. Tron proclaims that the Dededestroyer Z is his greatest invention, being the best robot ever built.

Tron reveals his true plan, to send all the copies on the Ore Express, to spread them across Dream Land. He tells them that flattering Dedede was also part of his plan. His brother Cron shows up and begs him to stop. He explains that Tron is not an inventor but a farmer, revealing his motives behind the plan. Tron mocks them and says that it is too late to stop him, since all the Kirby copies are already on the train. Tron tells Kirby that the Kirby Printer it is indestructible, laughing at his unsuccessful efforts to destroy it. When the machine is destroyed, Tron panics and laments his ruined plan. Cron tries to cheer him up and tells him that he will help with is farming, but Tron doesn't want to work hard. Cron discovers that Tron made a mistake in processing Waddle Dee's data, leading the Waddle Dees to not disappear when the printer was destroyed. Cron tells Tron that his plan wouldn't have worked because the Kirby copies would have also eaten all his crops too fast, not just the food in Dream Land. Tron gets the idea of creating a vacuum that sucks everything to make money, but Cron drugs him out of the castle back to home before he can finish his thought.
