'''Marx''' is a mischievous, small, round, jester-like creature from [[Popstar]] who serves as the final [[boss]] and main antagonist of [[Milky Way Wishes]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. In this role, he feigns to be [[Kirby]]'s ally and instructs him to summon [[Galactic Nova]] to stop the Sun and Moon from fighting, but then steals Kirby's wish at just the right moment to gain immense magical power. With this power, Marx intends to take over Popstar so that he can cause all the mischief he wants, so Kirby uses the [[Starship]] to chase him down and defeats both him and Galactic Nova, sending Marx careening into Nova to blow it to smithereens. In [[The True Arena]], Marx is subsequently reincarnated into [[Marx Soul]] by absorbing pieces of the destroyed Nova, forcing Kirby to battle him again, though whether or not this battle officially happens in the same [[continuity]] of Milky Way Wishes is not confirmed. | '''Marx''' is a mischievous, small, round, jester-like creature from [[Popstar]] who serves as the final [[boss]] and main antagonist of [[Milky Way Wishes]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and its remake, ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''.

Since this initial set of appearances, Marx has frequently appeared in subsequent games, though usually as little more than a cameo or reference. He would become playable for the first time as a [[Dream Friend]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', where his moveset mainly revolves around using his ball as a projectile and using his attacks as a boss in ''Kirby Super Star''. Many of those latter attacks would be referenced and reused by subsequent final bosses in the ''Kirby'' series, with the most commonly-referenced attacks including [[Black Hole]], "Marx Cannon", and [[Shooter Cutter]]. His character arc (and several of his attacks) would also be directly referenced by [[Magolor]], and the two would subsequently become associated in various external media for the franchise. Marx has also made appearances outside of the ''Kirby'' series, with the most notable being his inclusion as a boss in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. | Since this initial set of appearances, Marx has frequently appeared in subsequent games, though usually as little more than a cameo or reference.

His name is likely based on the Marx Brothers, as they were famous comedians. | ||

*Marx has no hands, so he uses his hat to grab things like Pull [[Switch]]es in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. However, he does have hands in the ''[[Kirby of the Stars! Moretsu Pupupu Hour!]]'' manga series. | *Marx has no hands, so he uses his hat to grab things like Pull [[Switch]]es in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

*Some unused data in Marx's boss battle in The Happiest Curtain Call in ''Kirby Star Allies'' includes a health bar and unique music (which is the same music that plays when fighting [[Morpho Knight]] as Marx). This may indicate that Marx was planned as a boss elsewhere in the game at one point.<ref>[https://youtube.com/watch?v=9y-i-TIEKH8 YouTube]</ref> | *Some unused data in Marx's boss battle in The Happiest Curtain Call in ''Kirby Star Allies'' includes a health bar and unique music (which is the same music that plays when fighting [[Morpho Knight]] as Marx).
