Kirby: Planet Robobot: Difference between revisions

'''''Kirby: Planet Robobot''''' is the eleventh game in the main ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby series]]'', released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2016. The central theme of this game revolves around robotic and futuristic industrial settings, as [[Kirby]]'s home planet [[Popstar]] has been taken over by an enterprising intergalactic alien business called the [[Haltmann Works Company]]. Kirby needs to venture through his mechanized planet and fight off the invaders by turning their technology against them, making use of a new power-expanding robotic suit called the [[Robobot Armor]]. In the process, Kirby fights and then frees [[Meta Knight]] - who had been captured and mechanized by the company - and then eventually defeats the company and their [[Star Dream|mother computer]] with his help.

''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' uses the same engine and general play-style as preceding games ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', and once again incorporates the use of jumping between foreground and background, as ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' did. Like ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', the game features two extensive [[Sub-Game]]s - this time in the form of [[Team Kirby Clash]] and [[Kirby 3D Rumble]] - and also features an [[Extra Mode]] called [[Meta Knightmare Returns]]. A free demo version of the game was released where the [[Patched Plains - Stage 1|first]] [[Patched Plains - Stage 2|two]] stages of the game's [[Story Mode]] can be played, before the demo was made unavailable for download following the closure of Nintendo eShop on March 27, 2023.

*'''[[Story Mode]]''', consists of the primary game.

In addition, Kirby can gain abilities if the player scans in [[amiibo#Kirby: Planet Robobot|amiibo]] during regular gameplay. Certain amiibo yield unique abilities or offer different [[Color|palette swaps]].

''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' carries a majority of its enemies - including their look and behavior - from its predecessor; ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. However, the game also adds a large array of new enemies, and brings back many older enemies not featured in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'', with some (such as [[Simirror]]) making their first 3D appearance in this game. True to the mechanized motif of the world in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', many enemies have received mechanical and/or cybernetic augmentations, though these are purely cosmetic. The following tables list each standard enemy in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'':

|This is Simirror's first 3D appearance.

There are twelve bosses in Story Mode, ten in [[Meta Knightmare Returns]], and six in the sub-game [[Team Kirby Clash]]. Note that 2.0 versions of most bosses that are fought in Meta Knightmare Returns and in [[The True Arena]] are not listed, as with the [[Masher|Mashers]] from [[Kirby 3D Rumble]], who are instead classified as mid-bosses. For bosses from Team Kirby Clash, see [[Team Kirby Clash#Bosses]].

**This is also the first time Meta Knight's unmasked appearance has yellow eyes in the ''Kirby'' series, again matching ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' (specifically, the Meta Knight-based [[Color|palette]] for Kirby).
