These endings (if they exist) are typically shown to the player if the [[Game Over|game is either lost]], or completed without the necessary prerequisite objectives to obtain the true ending. Technically speaking, every "Game Over" screen is a form of bad ending — because it implies that [[Kirby]] or whoever else is serving the role of main protagonist failed somewhere in their adventure — but this article will mainly focus on the other type of bad ending, where the game is seemingly completed. | ||

The latter is characterized by getting the same ending regardless of how many of the important collectables were picked up along the way. An example of this would be the [[Energy Sphere]]s from ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. While [[100% completion]] entails collecting all 120 of them, this is not necessary to reach the proper ending of the story mode, and doing so will not alter the story in any way. | ||
