Ado is the boss of Cloudy Park in the SNES game Kirby's Dream Land 3. She is a young human girl who came to Pop Star to study art.[1] Whatever she draws comes to life and battles Kirby. She summons Ice Dragon, Sweet Stuff, Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright, and Kracko, all of which were bosses in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and attack the same way, but with significantly less health. After Kirby defeats them, Ado comes at him with a paintbrush, at which point one slide or air puff and she'll be done for.
After the release of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards for the Nintendo 64, there was much debate about her relationship to Adeleine, who appears to be the same character but her appearance is slightly altered to fit the style of the other characters from that game. Popular theories are that they are twins or Ado is Adeleine's nickname. The Japanese Kirby 20th anniversary encyclopedia addresses this, and heavily implies the latter.[1] Strangely, the English version of said encyclopedia does not mention the name "Ado" at all, further supporting it.
