Summary
In this episode, Kine has a crush on Tiff, and makes a deal with King Dedede to be brought onto land to spend time with her in exchange for revealing the location of a coral reef which Dedede wishes to turn into a resort. Kine, however, finds life on land to be unsuitable for him, as he is mistaken for food by both Chef Kawasaki and Dyna Blade and almost killed. In the end, they realize what Dedede is up to and head to the reef to stop him from destroying it. Kirby inhales the propeller on Dedede's submarine and gains the Tornado ability, which he uses to fling Dedede and Escargoon out of the reef.
