|A main-series game for [[Nintendo GameCube]] featuring a revamped [[Helper]] system based on that of ''Kirby Super Star'' alongside the camera perspective of ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''. It was scrapped due to issues designing levels playable in both single player and multiplayer. Had it released, it would have become the eighth mainline ''Kirby'' game. Three more builds followed, with only the last being released as ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.

|[[Bandana Waddle Dee]]
|[[Bandana Waddle Dee]]
|A [[Waddle Dee]] who is distinguished only by his blue bandana, Bandana Waddle Dee is one of King Dedede's most loyal subjects. However, he is also very good friends with Kirby, forcing him to sometimes choose between the two. He can wield both a [[Spear]] and a [[Parasol]] in combat with good efficacy, but he usually avoids fighting unless necessary, aiming to help the main characters by tossing them [[Assist Star]]s instead. He got his first starring role in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', and he went on to become a recurring major character in the ''Kirby'' franchise.

|A young painter girl who came to [[Popstar]] to study art and serves as a supporting protagonist in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards''. She befriends Kirby and paints items for him to use on his adventures, but before this, she is possessed by the villainous [[Dark Matter]], and fights Kirby. Adeleine is a very talented painter, and her paintings will usually pop out of the frame to become the genuine objects, including [[food]] and other helpful items. She takes the role of a playable Dream Friend in ''Kirby Star Allies'', where she is paired with [[Ribbon]].

|An unassuming jester who can be seen balancing on a ball. In [[Milky Way Wishes]], he tasks Kirby to stop the sun and moon from fighting by calling upon the [[Galactic Nova]] to grant him a wish to do so, but betrays Kirby by stealing the wish and using it to grant himself immense power with which to control [[Popstar]], revealing that he made the sun and moon fight as part of his plan. Kirby then has to defeat him by destroying [[Galactic Nova Nucleus|Galactic Nova's nucleus]] to disable it, then engaging Marx in combat, causing both to explode in the end. Marx reappears in a more minor role in the [[Sub-Game]] [[Kirby Brawlball]] in ''Kirby Mass Attack'' as the fourth and final boss. Marx appears again in ''Kirby Star Allies'' as a playable [[Dream Friend]], where he retains characteristics from both his normal form and his mutated boss form, and also appears in the latter form as a surprise boss in the [[Heroes in Another Dimension]] true ending credits. He also makes a notable appearance as a boss in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where his boss fight is based on his original boss fight but with some new attacks.

|Often called "the greatest warrior in the galaxy", Galacta Knight is usually called upon in [[Extra Game]]s by a villain or other morally ambiguous character to test the strength of the main character (usually [[Meta Knight]]). Galacta Knight's origin and motive are unclear, but he is capable of absurdly powerful magic attacks, and for this reason, is usually sealed away in a crystal or in [[Another Dimension]].

|An alien wizard and fibber from the planet [[Halcandra]]. He pilots the [[Lor Starcutter]], an [[List of rumors of ancient civilizations in the Kirby series|ancient]] starship capable of traveling across dimensions. In ''{{KRtDL KAW}}'', Kirby and co. agree to help him when his ruined ship comes crashing down to Popstar by collecting its scattered pieces and the [[Energy Sphere]]s that power it, and he also makes them defeat the dragon [[Landia]], but he reveals afterwards that he was trying to obtain the [[Master Crown]] which Landia was guarding in order to use its extreme power to achieve a more powerful form and rule the universe. With some help from Landia, Kirby and co. defeat Magolor, who turns over a new leaf and appears as a friendly character in later games, including building the [[New Challenge Stages]] and racing Kirby in them, being a playable Dream Friend in ''Kirby Star Allies'', and being a playable Buddy in ''Kirby Fighters 2''. In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' and ''Super Kirby Clash'', he runs the [[Gem Apple]] [[Magolor's Shoppe|Shoppe]], selling Team Kirby everything they need for their adventure.
