Adeleine is the young painter that joins forces with Kirby in his quest to rid Dark Matter from his realm in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Always seen with her easel by her side, she, with her art, regularly bridges the second and third dimensions; her paintings literally morph off of the page, ranging from enemies that Kirby can fight and defeat, to items like 1-Ups and Maxim Tomatoes that Kirby can actually use. It is noted that Adeleine strongly resembles Ado, the painter of Kirby's Dream Land 3, in physicality and personality, and the two are heavily implied to be one and the same, with "Ado" being her nickname.[1] In speaking of physicality, Adeleine most frequently dons a large red cap, green over-shirt, and simple brown shoes, an appearance that changes in colTemplate:Or only when playing the mini-games in The Crystal Shards.

Personality

Adeleine, although like the other Kirby 64 characters, does not talk, but from what is seen of her, she is very peppy and upbeat, and always seems to be happy even when times are tough. When Kirby sees her in a stage, she is more than eager to paint some food for him or help him find a Crystal Shard.

Main article: Pop Star (level)#Stage 2

Like all of Kirby's eventual partners in The Crystal Shards, Adeleine is first met on Pop Star doing what she does best - painting a landscape. Right before Kirby enters the scene, a Crystal Shard had interrupted her painting session, and like Waddle Dee before her, she bends down to pick it up, intrigued. Using her easel as a generation point, Dark Matter, noticing the shard, jumps Adeleine and embodies her; at this point, Kirby runs onto the screen, only to see Adeleine painting up various enemies for Kirby to fight. After defeating the final come-to-life painting, which is a scale drawing of Dark Matter itself, the evil forces escape her body, yielding Kirby, Waddle Dee, and Ribbon the Crystal Shard she had been holding. From this point on, Adeleine accompanies the group in finding the remainder of the Crystal Shards hidden across the realm.

Kirby Star Allies

The wait is over! This clever artist and her fairy companion from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards are back on Planet Popstar! They may not be the galaxy's most powerful duo, but their perilous paintings and shiny crystals are nothing to scoff at.

Adeleine returns in Kirby Star Allies as a Dream Friend added as a part of Wave 2 on July 27th, 2018 alongside Daroach and Dark Meta Knight. She is paired up with Ribbon as Adeleine & Ribbon, and uses her to hover. One of her attacks includes painting a variety of enemies from the Dark Matter Trilogy including Batamon, Ghost Knight, and I3. She can also charge up this attack to paint Waiu, Kracko, or Ice Dragon and ride upon it. She is able to do her flailing attack from the end of the battle against her as well. She can also use the Shard Gun from the final boss of Kirby 64 while flying in the air with Ribbon. She can also paint scenery on her canvas to hide behind it. She can also use a Friend Ability similar to Still Life, but instead of painting the refrigerator of Ice-Spark Kirby, she paints the Picnic from the bonus stages of Kirby 64.

Adeleine & Ribbon has the lowest health of all playable characters in Kirby Star Allies. In addition, Adeleine is tall and thus considered a big character, i.e. easier to get hit. However, Ice Dragon and Kracko from Ado's Painter can deal massive damage, making Adeleine & Ribbon one of the fastest characters to beat The Ultimate Choice solo.

Trivia

  • According to the English manual for Kirby 64, Adeleine came to Pop Star from another world to study art. Which other world that might be is unknown.
  • In the Japanese media, Adeleine calls Kirby by the nickname カーくん (Kā-kun).[2]
  • Adeleine sees King Dedede as a brother.[3] In the Japanese media, she calls him デデのだんな (Master o' Dede).
  • Adeleine is a little shy about being fed items, so she hides her face a little while doing Face-to-Face.[3]
  • A couple of the character interactions in the main menu of Kirby Star Allies has Adeleine either hiding from or trying to attack Gooey. Presumably this is because she is mistaking Gooey for Dark Matter, who had possessed her in Kirby 64.
  • In the Chinese version of Kirby Star Allies, the button execution of Painter and Ado's Painter is incorrectly shown as ↑ + B.
