{{About|Another Dimension in a more general context|other uses of Another Dimension|[[Another Dimension (disambiguation)]]}}
'''Another Dimension''' (sometimes formatted as "'''another dimension'''") is the name given to a strange eerie alternate dimension featured many times in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series, first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. It is the home of the [[Sphere Doomer]]s, as well as several very powerful [[:Category:Parallel bosses|parallel versions of bosses]] from Kirby's native dimension. Whenever [[Kirby]] and his friends are tasked to enter this dimension, it is usually in order to stop some powerful villains from wreaking havoc in Kirby's home dimension.


'''Another Dimension''' is the name given to a strange eerie alternate dimension featured many times in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series. It first appeared concretely in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', though it can be argued to have been present to some extent in earlier titles. It is the home of the [[Sphere Doomer]]s, as well as several very powerful [[:Category:Parallel bosses|parallel versions of bosses]] from Kirby's native dimension. Whenever [[Kirby]] and his friends are tasked to enter this dimension, it is usually in order to stop some powerful villains from wreaking havoc in Kirby's home dimension.
==Description==
[[File:KRtDL Another Dimension empty screenshot.png|thumb|left|250px|An empty portion of Another Dimension, as seen in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.]]
Another Dimension is characterized by large empty spaces filled with strange swirling patterns and energy. It can be seen as closely linked to Kirby's native dimension in that several images and impressions of places from said dimension will appear in the background of Another Dimension. Where there is solid ground, it is usually depicted as glowing yellow blocky formations which often shift and can easily [[Crusher|crush]] when doing so. Large spiky star-shaped hazards also float freely in this area, making it generally hostile to navigate through. It is stated several times, particularly in the Japanese versions, that Another Dimension is beyond both time and space.
 
Some areas in Another Dimension take place in those that resemble parts of Kirby's home dimension, depicted with monochromatic or washed-out colors. In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|remake]], these areas usually have purple (magenta in [[Extra Mode]]) walls that serve as a [[Crusher|crushing hazard]] for Kirby and friends should they not move fast, in addition to a battle with a [[Sphere Doomer]] at the end. In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', battles with parallel bosses take place in a version of their boss arena with alternate colors.
 
Kirby and other characters are capable of opening rifts to Another Dimension from their home dimension using [[Super Ability|sufficiently powerful attacks]] or advanced [[List of rumors of ancient civilizations in the Kirby series|ancient technology]]. More information on what can exactly open these rifts are located in the "Dimensional rift" subsection under [[Another Dimension#Related terms|#Related terms]].

==Naming discrepancies==
Another Dimension has been referred to with several varying terms throughout the series since ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', and this characteristic is even more prominent in the Japanese versions of said games. For reference, the term used to refer to Another Dimension in Japanese is "{{furi|異空間|いくうかん}}" (''ikūkan''), and localized English versions tend to refer to Another Dimension as such or in completely lowercase letters ("another dimension") or sometimes refer to it as an "extra dimension" as in the British translation of ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''. However, Japanese texts throughout the series also refer to Another Dimension with different terms like "{{furi|異空|いくう}}" (''ikū'', "another sky"), "{{furi|別次元|べつじげん}}" (''betsu jigen'', "another dimension" or "different dimension") and "{{furi|異界|いかい}}" or "{{furi|異世界|いせかい}}" (''ikai'' or ''isekai'', "another world"), among others. In some cases, this leads to discrepancies when various sources of text referencing Another Dimension (including [[Pause|pause screen]] flavor text and dialogue) and even similar texts that aren't directly related to Another Dimension are localized, especially in English versions of various games.
 
===Another World (別の世界/異世界/異界)===
In the Japanese version of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', [[Magolor]] refers to [[Halcandra]] as being located in "a different world" ({{furi|別|べつ}}の{{furi|世界|せかい}}, ''betsu no sekai''). This is translated as being located in "another dimension" in the English versions. Its full name is given in the Japanese title of the "Halcandra: A New Enemy" cutscene as "Another World Halcandra" ({{furi|異世界|いせかい}}ハルカンドラ ''isekai harukandora''). [[HR-D3]]'s original flavor text in the same game refers to it originating from "another dimension" in English, but the Japanese version refers to it as being from "a different dimension that is not this one". The English version of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' refers to HR-D3 as having "crossed time and space through an interdimensional tunnel" instead. A similar case is used for [[Galacta Knight]]'s flavor text as well.
 
Most parallel bosses in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' use "{{furi|異世界|いせかい}}" or "{{furi|異界|いかい}})" (''isekai'' or ''ikai'', "another world") in their splash screen titles and their collective term in Japanese, the "Otherworldly Four Heavenly Kings" ({{furi|異界四天王|いかいしてんのう}}). The only exceptions are [[Parallel Twin Kracko]] and [[Parallel Big Kracko]], who are described as being from "{{furi|異空|いくう}}" (another sky).
 
''Ikai'' is also used to refer to [[Parallel Landia]]'s origin in the description of the Parallel Landion from ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''.<ref>{{cite|アナザーランディオン{{furi|異界|いかい}})から やってきたランディアの {{furi|力|ちから}}を やどしている。|Japanese description of the Parallel Landion|''Super Kirby Clash''}}</ref>. The English version refers to this as "another world", a more direct translation. A similar case is used for the description of the Magoloran Garb, which describes [[Magolor]] as being from "another world" (''isekai'').<ref>{{cite|{{furi|異世界|いせかい}}からの {{furi|旅人|たびびと}}の ぼうぐ。|Japanese description of the Magoloran Garb|''Super Kirby Clash''}}</ref>
 
===Another Sky (異空)===
Another related term used prominently in Japanese to refer to Another Dimension is {{furi|異空|いくう}} (''ikū''), which can be translated as either "another sky", "another world" or "another dimension". It is simply a one-character shortening of the commonly-used Japanese name for Another Dimension, "{{furi|異空間|いくうかん}}". This is the term first used in the Japanese name of the song "[[Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler|Interdimensional Traveler]]" from ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'', which is "{{furi|異空|いくう}}ヲカケル{{furi|旅人|たびびと}}" (''The Traveler Across Another Dimension''). It is also shared with the subtitle of [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]] (マホロアエピローグ {{furi|異空|イクウ}}をかける{{furi|旅人|タビビト}}).


==Description==
The Japanese version of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' uses this term to refer to Another Dimension in the pause screen flavor text for [[Heroes in Another Dimension]].<ref>{{cite|{{furi|異空|いくう}}をかけてハートを{{furi|集|あつ}}め、{{furi|希望|きぼう}}の{{furi|光|ひかり}}を…{{furi|生|う}}むのだっ !|[[Heroes in Another Dimension]] Japanese pause screen flavor text|''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''}}</ref>. As mentioned in the previous section, [[Parallel Twin Kracko]] and [[Parallel Big Kracko]] are described in their boss splash screen text to be from "another sky" in the Japanese version of the game. Various Japanese names for some tracks in ''[[Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack]]'' also use the term, including "[[A Battle of Friends and Bonds|Another World to Win]]" ({{furi|異空|いくう}}をかけた{{furi|戦|たたか}}い lit. "The Battle Another Sky is Gambled Upon") and "Dimensional Silence" (originally from ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', {{furi|異空|いくう}}の{{furi|静寂|せいじゃく}} lit. "Silence of Another Sky").
[[File:Another Dimension Empty.jpg|thumb|left|250px|An empty portion of Another Dimension, as seen in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.]]
Another Dimension is characterized by large empty spaces filled with strange swirling patterns and energy. It can be seen as closely linked to Kirby's native dimension in that several images and impressions of places from said dimension will appear in the background of Another Dimension. Where there is solid ground, it is usually depicted as glowing yellow blocky formations which often shift and can easily [[Crusher|crush]] when doing so. Large spiky star-shaped hazards also float freely in this area, making it generally hostile to navigate through. When visiting an area in Another Dimension resembling one from the main dimension, it is often depicted in a monochrome fashion, though this is temporarily undone whenever a Sphere Doomer is defeated.


Kirby and other characters are capable of opening rifts to Another Dimension from their home dimension using [[Super Ability|sufficiently powerful attacks]] or advanced [[Ancients|ancient technology]]. It is implied that such visits can only last a short while, as often, a wall of energy will push in toward Kirby and his allies which will crush them if they take too long.
Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler makes prominent use of this term when referring to several texts, such as explicitly referring to Magolor falling into "the depths of another dimension" in Japanese.<ref>{{cite|{{furi|自|みずか}}らトモダチを うらぎった あやまちで、{{furi|異空|いくう}}のドンゾコに おちたマホロア。|Japanese [[Magolor]] pause screen flavor text in [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler|Magolor Epilogue]]|''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''}}</ref>. Various titles for the Japanese flavor text of various bosses in this mode incorporate this term, with one example being "Otherworldly Elevangelist" ({{furi|異空|いくう}}の{{furi|電導師|でんどうし}}) for [[Electricky Dooter]].

Throughout ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and its [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|remake]], star-shaped rifts leading to Another Dimension can be opened by using [[Super Ability|Super Abilities]], usually when a very large object has been destroyed with said ability. These interdimensional stretches appear monochrome (or slightly washed-out in the case of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''). When Kirby enters a rift to Another Dimension, he automatically loses his current Super Ability and/or [[Copy Ability]], forcing him to make use of his [[Inhale]] and other normal moves throughout these sections. These stretches also have moving purple walls that threaten to [[Crusher|crush]] Kirby, and can be pushed back using [[Star Bullet]]s.


==Appearances==
At the end of an interdimensional segment, Kirby usually battles a [[Sphere Doomer]] that drops a pair of Energy Spheres upon defeat. This results in color being restored to the area, and Kirby and friends can exit back to the regular stage by entering another [[dimensional rift]]. If Kirby is defeated while inside an interdimensional segment, he is forced out of the rift and has to start from the beginning if it is entered again. The music for these sections is also appropriately named "[[Another Dimension (theme)|Another Dimension]]".
===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''===
{{main|Level 8: Another Dimension}}
Kirby and allies first enter Another Dimension in this game, first to recover the [[Lor Starcutter]]'s lost [[Energy Sphere]]s, then to battle [[Magolor]] after he betrayed them. When in Another Dimension proper, Kirby and allies spend most of their time flying on [[Landia]]'s back and shooting down [[Doomer]]s in pursuit of Magolor and his ship. The final boss encounter takes place in an eerie glowing area with [[Popstar]] visible from a portal in the background. Once Magolor is defeated, the area starts to collapse, and Landia comes in to rescue Kirby and allies by flying them through the portal before it closes.


In [[The True Arena]], [[Galacta Knight]] is battled in a place resembling this dimension as well.
====Level 8: Another Dimension====
{{main|Another Dimension (level)}}
Later in the adventure, after [[Magolor]] betrays Kirby and his friends, he exits through a rift to Another Dimension with the intent of befalling Planet Popstar to his rule, supposedly stranding Kirby and friends in [[Halcandra]]. However, [[Landia]] offers to let them ride on his back and pursue Magolor through the portal. Throughout the entirety of the [[Another Dimension (level)|Another Dimension]] level, Kirby and friends ride fly through several side-scrolling shooter segments, while also dealing with moving walls, Sphere Doomer-like creatures, and pulsating crystals. Eventually, Kirby and friends do battle with [[Traitor Magolor|Magolor]] in an eerie, glowing area with Popstar visible through a distant rift. After the friends defeat Magolor's [[Magolor (second form)|second form]], the surrounding dimension begins to collapse, and Landia comes to the rescue to bring them home, with the [[Lor Starcutter]] also following and ensuring stability of the rift ahead.


===''Kirby's Dream Collection''===
====Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler====
In the ''[[New Challenge Stages]]'' mode, several of the final courses take place in an area which greatly resembles Another Dimension.
In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', most of [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]] takes place deep within Another Dimension, with its surrounding dimensions featuring some degree of color tint corresponding to the theming of its many stages. Many of the mode's stages also feature [[Darpa]]s, [[Dippa]]s, [[Dupa]]s, and [[Deppa]]s, which were originally exclusive to the Another Dimension level. These dimensions are also home to [[Electricky Dooter|different]] [[Fiery Puffer|elemental]] [[Hydriath|bosses]] and the [[Rampaging Doomers]], although their relation to parallel bosses is unknown. Eventually, Magolor escapes through a dimensional rift at the end of the mode, which takes him to the [[Dream Kingdom]].


===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
{{main|Another Dimension (Kirby Fighters)}}
{{main|Another Dimension (Battle Stage)}}
In the [[Kirby Fighters]] [[Sub-Game]], the last fight against [[Shadow Kirby]] takes place in this dimension. This can be thought of as the first encounter with a parallel boss hailing from this dimension, though its [[canon|canonicity]] is questionable.
[[File:KF_Another_Dimension.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Kirby and Shadow Kirby duke it out in Another Dimension.]]
In the [[Kirby Fighters]] [[Sub-Game]], the last fight against [[Shadow Kirby]] takes place in Another Dimension, even using the same [[Fly, Kirby!|music]] as in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. This Battle Stage can also be selected for play in Training.


===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''===
During the battle with [[Galacta Knight]], he will occasionally open a rift to Another Dimension as an attack. [[Star Dream]] also appears to be capable of opening rifts to this dimension.
The pause screen text for [[Holo-Doomers|Holo-Doomers 2.0]] makes mention of Another Dimension when referring to the [[Sphere Doomer]]s, however it is unknown where and when [[Susie]] encountered them during her travels. [[Star Dream]] also appears to be capable of opening rifts to this dimension, which is how it summoned [[Galacta Knight]] in [[Meta Knightmare Returns]]. During the battle with Galacta Knight, he will occasionally open a rift to Another Dimension as an attack, with the [[Lor Starcutter]] occasionally making an appearance in this rift.


===''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' & ''Super Kirby Clash''===
===''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' & ''Super Kirby Clash''===
The last set of bosses all hail from what is presumed to be Another Dimension, with the Decisive Battlefield also being set there.
A few of the bosses, specifically [[Greater Doomer]], [[Parallel Landia]] and [[Parallel Susie]], hail from what is presumed to be Another Dimension. In ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'', the [[Black Mirror]] is used as a gateway between dimensions. In ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', the main villain [[Parallel Nightmare]] also hails from Another Dimension. Just like in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', [[Galacta Knight#Super Kirby Clash|Aeon Hero]] can open up a rift to Another Dimension as an attack, with the [[Jamba Heart]] also appearing in the background occasionally.

The final major update to ''Kirby Star Allies'' adds a new mode to the game, which takes place in Another Dimension. Kirby and allies travel there after [[Hyness]]' repeated rituals open gateways to five distinct pocket realms contained therein. While in each dimension, Kirby and allies must collect [[Friend Heart]]s and battle against tougher parallel versions of familiar bosses. Based on how many hearts were collected, Kirby may be able to save Hyness and [[The Three Mage-Sisters]] from the corrupting influence of the [[Jamba Heart]].
The final major update to ''Kirby Star Allies'' adds a new mode to the game, [[Heroes in Another Dimension]]. In this mode, Kirby and friends travel through different dimensions taking place within Another Dimension, collecting [[Friend Heart]]s and battling parallel bosses as they go. The rift here is opened by Hyness' continuous praying at the altar in [[The Divine Terminus]], and more of these rifts are opened as the player progresses throughout this mode.
 
In the same update, [[The Divine Terminus]] in [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]] has a pool in the floor that features the background of Another Dimension. Defeating [[Hyness]] in this mode will cause him to sink into the pool, a subtle hint towards the events of [[Heroes in Another Dimension]].
 
The Japanese pause screen text for [[Morpho Knight|Morpho Knight EX]] states that it comes from Another Dimension.

==Travel to Another Dimension==
==Related terms==
While there is no clear idea on how travel to and from Another Dimension is performed, it is often done by means of opening a rift there using specific powerful artifacts or techniques. The following is a list of every such entity/technique which has been proven to open such rifts:
The following are some common terms that are related to Another Dimension but are not used to refer to the place itself.
 
===Dimensional rifts===
{{Main|Dimensional rift}}
[[File:KRtDLD_Cookie_Country_Stage_1_screenshot_05.png|thumb|200px|right|Kirby entering a dimensional rift in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''.]]
{{Quote|The lost Energy Spheres have created {{color|red|dimensional rifts}}. The Grand Doomer has {{color|red|emerged}} from one such rift!|'''VS Grand Doomer EX''' description from ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''}}
Various star-shaped rifts called "dimensional rifts" appear throughout the series, starting with ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. The many dimensional rifts that are encountered by Kirby throughout the game are said to have been created by [[Energy Sphere]]s, and lead to stretches within Another Dimension which usually culminate in a battle with a [[Sphere Doomer]]. These rifts are colored indigo in [[Story Mode]], but gain a slightly reddish purple hue in [[Extra Mode]].
 
Generally speaking, these dimensional rifts are usually the main mode of transport to Another Dimension, oftentimes manifesting with the power of magical spells or ancient technology. The following is a list of every entity/technique which have been confirmed to open rifts connecting to Another Dimension:
*[[Super Ability|Super Abilities]]
*[[Lor Starcutter]]'s beam, [[Energy Sphere]]s, and Part Spheres
*[[Magolor]] with the [[Master Crown]]
*[[Galacta Knight]]'s attacks
*[[Galacta Knight]]'s attacks
*[[Super Ability|Kirby's Super Abilities]]
*[[Star Dream]] (when summoning Galacta Knight)
*[[Hyness]]'s rituals using the [[Jamba Heart]]
*[[Hyness]]'s rituals
*[[Lor Starcutter]]'s beam and [[Energy Sphere]]s
*[[Parallel Nightmare]]
*[[Magolor]] with the [[Master Crown]]
 
*Some [[:Category:Parallel bosses|parallel bosses]]
Some entities like [[Greater Doomer]], [[Parallel Susie]], and enemies that grant Super Abilities in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' also emerge from dimensional rifts, but how they were opened is unclear.
*[[Star Dream]]
 
===Another Dimension Road===
A related term used in Japanese versions of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' and in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' is "Another Dimension Road" ({{furi|異空間|いくうかん}}ロード, ''ikūkan rōdo''), translated as "interdimensional tunnel" in English. It is used in the former game to refer to the space where [[Planet Popstar]] and [[Halcandra]] are connected<ref>{{cite|I come from a distant land...<br>It lies at the end of an interdimensional tunnel connected to your planet.|Magolor|in the Lor Starcutter when Kirby has restored the Right Wing, ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''}}</ref>, and is also where the entirety of the [[Another Dimension (level)|Another Dimension]] level takes place in the Japanese version.<ref>{{cite|カービィと{{furi|手|て}}を{{furi|組|く}}んで、{{furi|異空間|いくうかん}}ロードへ {{furi|飛|と}}ぶ!|Landia's pause screen flavor text|Japanese version of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''}}</ref><ref>The ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' [[Theater#Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Theater]] cutscene "Final Battle" and its associated music track are referred to as "{{furi|決戦|けっせん}}!{{furi|異空間|いくうかん}}ロード" (Decisive Battle!

Likewise with the "Final Battle EX" cutscene and music.</ref> [[Star Dream]] also refers to "Another Dimension Road" during the process of summoning [[Galacta Knight]] in the Japanese version of ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''<ref>{{cite|ソレでは………!{{furi|時空|じくう}}テンイ プログラム… アンロック…<br>{{furi|異空間|いくうかん}}ロード… リブート…|Star Dream|in the "White Knight Time-Traveller" cutscene, Japanese version of ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''}}</ref>, but is interestingly translated as "Extra-dimensional road" instead of "interdimensional tunnel" in the English versions.

===Parallel bosses===
{{Main|:Category:Parallel bosses}}
[[File:SKC Parallel Susie Art.png|200px|thumb|[[Parallel Susie]] is the first known parallel boss in the ''Kirby'' series, appearing in games like ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''.]]
There are several bosses that originate from Another Dimension which are categorized as "parallel bosses", extremely powerful counterparts of bosses existing within Kirby's home dimension. Like most stronger variants, parallel bosses are depicted with an alternate color scheme, usually with a dark palette (as demonstrated prominently on [[Parallel Landia]] and [[Parallel Woods]]). It is often the case that parallel bosses have a very high amount of [[health]] and feature a variety of more difficult attacks to further present a challenge to the player.
 
The names of parallel bosses are usually prefixed with "Parallel" in English and the French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese localizations deriving from it. However, the Japanese, German, Italian and Korean versions use the prefix "Another" while the Chinese versions use "Another Dimension", which further reinforce the relation of these bosses to Another Dimension itself.
 
Parallel bosses are not to be confused with other bosses that originate from Another Dimension but are not based on existing bosses, such as [[Grand Doomer]] and the [[Rampaging Doomers]]. Additionally, despite the three elemental bosses from [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler|Magolor Epilogue]] ([[Electricky Dooter]], [[Fiery Puffer]], and [[Hydriath]]) originating from the deeper portions of Another Dimension while bearing a resemblance to [[Mr. Dooter|some]] [[Fatty Puffer|existing]] [[Goriath|bosses]], they are also not classified as parallel bosses either.

*In the [[New Challenge Stages]], the last couple Magolor Races take place in an area which greatly resembles Another Dimension.
*Some of the backgrounds in the rest areas for [[The True Arena]] in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' feature backgrounds resembling Another Dimension, usually in the final stretches of the mode.
*In ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', various backgrounds in Decisive Battlefield and the Dreamscape feature elements from Another Dimension, including its warped grid background and pulsating crystals.
*In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', the space created by [[Fecto Forgo]]'s rifts between Popstar and the [[new world]] greatly resembles Another Dimension Road, though it is not clear if it actually is the same. Furthermore, these rifts — along with rifts later created by [[Fecto Elfilis]] and [[Elfilin]], rifts into [[Treasure Road]]s, and the rift into the [[Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams|isolated isles of Forgo Dreams]] — externally resemble rifts into Another Dimension, though more ragged and sharp in appearance.
**[[Treasure Road]]s exist within a different reality, and like Another Dimension, they can only be visited for a short time and contain a specific challenge.
**The isolated isles of Forgo Dreams also resemble Another Dimension, though as their name indicates, they are actually a form of psychic projection for Fecto Forgo's dreams. Interestingly, the [[Forgo Zone|final stage]]'s theme, "Scattered Souls across Isolated Isles", is a remix of "[[Another Dimension (theme)|Another Dimension]]", and the new updated look of Another Dimension stretches in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' appears to borrow inspiration from the mode.

This article is about Another Dimension in a more general context. For other uses of Another Dimension, see Another Dimension (disambiguation).

Another Dimension (sometimes formatted as "another dimension") is the name given to a strange eerie alternate dimension featured many times in the Kirby series, first appearing in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It is the home of the Sphere Doomers, as well as several very powerful parallel versions of bosses from Kirby's native dimension. Whenever Kirby and his friends are tasked to enter this dimension, it is usually in order to stop some powerful villains from wreaking havoc in Kirby's home dimension.

Description[edit]

An empty portion of Another Dimension, as seen in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Another Dimension is characterized by large empty spaces filled with strange swirling patterns and energy. It can be seen as closely linked to Kirby's native dimension in that several images and impressions of places from said dimension will appear in the background of Another Dimension. Where there is solid ground, it is usually depicted as glowing yellow blocky formations which often shift and can easily crush when doing so. Large spiky star-shaped hazards also float freely in this area, making it generally hostile to navigate through. It is stated several times, particularly in the Japanese versions, that Another Dimension is beyond both time and space.

Some areas in Another Dimension take place in those that resemble parts of Kirby's home dimension, depicted with monochromatic or washed-out colors. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, these areas usually have purple (magenta in Extra Mode) walls that serve as a crushing hazard for Kirby and friends should they not move fast, in addition to a battle with a Sphere Doomer at the end. In Kirby Star Allies, battles with parallel bosses take place in a version of their boss arena with alternate colors.

Kirby and other characters are capable of opening rifts to Another Dimension from their home dimension using sufficiently powerful attacks or advanced ancient technology. More information on what can exactly open these rifts are located in the "Dimensional rift" subsection under #Related terms.

Naming discrepancies[edit]

Another Dimension has been referred to with several varying terms throughout the series since Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and this characteristic is even more prominent in the Japanese versions of said games. For reference, the term used to refer to Another Dimension in Japanese is "異空間いくうかん" (ikūkan), and localized English versions tend to refer to Another Dimension as such or in completely lowercase letters ("another dimension") or sometimes refer to it as an "extra dimension" as in the British translation of Kirby: Planet Robobot. However, Japanese texts throughout the series also refer to Another Dimension with different terms like "異空いくう" (ikū, "another sky"), "別次元べつじげん" (betsu jigen, "another dimension" or "different dimension") and "異界いかい" or "異世界いせかい" (ikai or isekai, "another world"), among others. In some cases, this leads to discrepancies when various sources of text referencing Another Dimension (including pause screen flavor text and dialogue) and even similar texts that aren't directly related to Another Dimension are localized, especially in English versions of various games.

Another World (別の世界/異世界/異界)[edit]

In the Japanese version of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Magolor refers to Halcandra as being located in "a different world" (べつ世界せかい, betsu no sekai). This is translated as being located in "another dimension" in the English versions. Its full name is given in the Japanese title of the "Halcandra: A New Enemy" cutscene as "Another World Halcandra" (異世界いせかいハルカンドラ isekai harukandora). HR-D3's original flavor text in the same game refers to it originating from "another dimension" in English, but the Japanese version refers to it as being from "a different dimension that is not this one". The English version of Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe refers to HR-D3 as having "crossed time and space through an interdimensional tunnel" instead. A similar case is used for Galacta Knight's flavor text as well.

Most parallel bosses in Kirby Star Allies use "異世界いせかい" or "異界いかい)" (isekai or ikai, "another world") in their splash screen titles and their collective term in Japanese, the "Otherworldly Four Heavenly Kings" (異界四天王いかいしてんのう). The only exceptions are Parallel Twin Kracko and Parallel Big Kracko, who are described as being from "異空いくう" (another sky).

Ikai is also used to refer to Parallel Landia's origin in the description of the Parallel Landion from Super Kirby Clash.[1]. The English version refers to this as "another world", a more direct translation. A similar case is used for the description of the Magoloran Garb, which describes Magolor as being from "another world" (isekai).[2]

Another Sky (異空)[edit]

Another related term used prominently in Japanese to refer to Another Dimension is 異空いくう (ikū), which can be translated as either "another sky", "another world" or "another dimension". It is simply a one-character shortening of the commonly-used Japanese name for Another Dimension, "異空間いくうかん". This is the term first used in the Japanese name of the song "Interdimensional Traveler" from Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, which is "異空いくうヲカケル旅人たびびと" (The Traveler Across Another Dimension). It is also shared with the subtitle of Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler (マホロアエピローグ 異空イクウをかける旅人タビビト).

The Japanese version of Kirby Star Allies uses this term to refer to Another Dimension in the pause screen flavor text for Heroes in Another Dimension.[3]. As mentioned in the previous section, Parallel Twin Kracko and Parallel Big Kracko are described in their boss splash screen text to be from "another sky" in the Japanese version of the game. Various Japanese names for some tracks in Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack also use the term, including "Another World to Win" (異空いくうをかけたたたかい lit. "The Battle Another Sky is Gambled Upon") and "Dimensional Silence" (originally from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, 異空いくう静寂せいじゃく lit. "Silence of Another Sky").

Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler makes prominent use of this term when referring to several texts, such as explicitly referring to Magolor falling into "the depths of another dimension" in Japanese.[4]. Various titles for the Japanese flavor text of various bosses in this mode incorporate this term, with one example being "Otherworldly Elevangelist" (異空いくう電導師でんどうし) for Electricky Dooter.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

Throughout Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, star-shaped rifts leading to Another Dimension can be opened by using Super Abilities, usually when a very large object has been destroyed with said ability. These interdimensional stretches appear monochrome (or slightly washed-out in the case of Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe). When Kirby enters a rift to Another Dimension, he automatically loses his current Super Ability and/or Copy Ability, forcing him to make use of his Inhale and other normal moves throughout these sections. These stretches also have moving purple walls that threaten to crush Kirby, and can be pushed back using Star Bullets.

At the end of an interdimensional segment, Kirby usually battles a Sphere Doomer that drops a pair of Energy Spheres upon defeat. This results in color being restored to the area, and Kirby and friends can exit back to the regular stage by entering another dimensional rift. If Kirby is defeated while inside an interdimensional segment, he is forced out of the rift and has to start from the beginning if it is entered again. The music for these sections is also appropriately named "Another Dimension".

Level 8: Another Dimension[edit]

Main article: Another Dimension (level)

Later in the adventure, after Magolor betrays Kirby and his friends, he exits through a rift to Another Dimension with the intent of befalling Planet Popstar to his rule, supposedly stranding Kirby and friends in Halcandra. However, Landia offers to let them ride on his back and pursue Magolor through the portal. Throughout the entirety of the Another Dimension level, Kirby and friends ride fly through several side-scrolling shooter segments, while also dealing with moving walls, Sphere Doomer-like creatures, and pulsating crystals. Eventually, Kirby and friends do battle with Magolor in an eerie, glowing area with Popstar visible through a distant rift. After the friends defeat Magolor's second form, the surrounding dimension begins to collapse, and Landia comes to the rescue to bring them home, with the Lor Starcutter also following and ensuring stability of the rift ahead.

Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler[edit]

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, most of Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler takes place deep within Another Dimension, with its surrounding dimensions featuring some degree of color tint corresponding to the theming of its many stages. Many of the mode's stages also feature Darpas, Dippas, Dupas, and Deppas, which were originally exclusive to the Another Dimension level. These dimensions are also home to different elemental bosses and the Rampaging Doomers, although their relation to parallel bosses is unknown. Eventually, Magolor escapes through a dimensional rift at the end of the mode, which takes him to the Dream Kingdom.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

In the Kirby Fighters Sub-Game, the last fight against Shadow Kirby takes place in Another Dimension, even using the same music as in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. This Battle Stage can also be selected for play in Training.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

The pause screen text for Holo-Doomers 2.0 makes mention of Another Dimension when referring to the Sphere Doomers, however it is unknown where and when Susie encountered them during her travels. Star Dream also appears to be capable of opening rifts to this dimension, which is how it summoned Galacta Knight in Meta Knightmare Returns. During the battle with Galacta Knight, he will occasionally open a rift to Another Dimension as an attack, with the Lor Starcutter occasionally making an appearance in this rift.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe & Super Kirby Clash[edit]

A few of the bosses, specifically Greater Doomer, Parallel Landia and Parallel Susie, hail from what is presumed to be Another Dimension. In Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, the Black Mirror is used as a gateway between dimensions. In Super Kirby Clash, the main villain Parallel Nightmare also hails from Another Dimension. Just like in Kirby: Planet Robobot, Aeon Hero can open up a rift to Another Dimension as an attack, with the Jamba Heart also appearing in the background occasionally.

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

Main article: Heroes in Another Dimension

The final major update to Kirby Star Allies adds a new mode to the game, Heroes in Another Dimension. In this mode, Kirby and friends travel through different dimensions taking place within Another Dimension, collecting Friend Hearts and battling parallel bosses as they go. The rift here is opened by Hyness' continuous praying at the altar in The Divine Terminus, and more of these rifts are opened as the player progresses throughout this mode.

In the same update, The Divine Terminus in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! has a pool in the floor that features the background of Another Dimension. Defeating Hyness in this mode will cause him to sink into the pool, a subtle hint towards the events of Heroes in Another Dimension.

The Japanese pause screen text for Morpho Knight EX states that it comes from Another Dimension.

Dimensional rifts[edit]

— VS Grand Doomer EX description from Kirby's Return to Dream Land

Various star-shaped rifts called "dimensional rifts" appear throughout the series, starting with Kirby's Return to Dream Land. The many dimensional rifts that are encountered by Kirby throughout the game are said to have been created by Energy Spheres, and lead to stretches within Another Dimension which usually culminate in a battle with a Sphere Doomer. These rifts are colored indigo in Story Mode, but gain a slightly reddish purple hue in Extra Mode.

Generally speaking, these dimensional rifts are usually the main mode of transport to Another Dimension, oftentimes manifesting with the power of magical spells or ancient technology. The following is a list of every entity/technique which have been confirmed to open rifts connecting to Another Dimension:

Some entities like Greater Doomer, Parallel Susie, and enemies that grant Super Abilities in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe also emerge from dimensional rifts, but how they were opened is unclear.

Another Dimension Road[edit]

A related term used in Japanese versions of Kirby's Return to Dream Land and in Kirby: Planet Robobot is "Another Dimension Road" (異空間いくうかんロード, ikūkan rōdo), translated as "interdimensional tunnel" in English. It is used in the former game to refer to the space where Planet Popstar and Halcandra are connected[5], and is also where the entirety of the Another Dimension level takes place in the Japanese version.[6][7] Star Dream also refers to "Another Dimension Road" during the process of summoning Galacta Knight in the Japanese version of Kirby: Planet Robobot[8], but is interestingly translated as "Extra-dimensional road" instead of "interdimensional tunnel" in the English versions.

Parallel bosses[edit]

Main article: Category:Parallel bosses
Parallel Susie is the first known parallel boss in the Kirby series, appearing in games like Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash.

There are several bosses that originate from Another Dimension which are categorized as "parallel bosses", extremely powerful counterparts of bosses existing within Kirby's home dimension. Like most stronger variants, parallel bosses are depicted with an alternate color scheme, usually with a dark palette (as demonstrated prominently on Parallel Landia and Parallel Woods). It is often the case that parallel bosses have a very high amount of health and feature a variety of more difficult attacks to further present a challenge to the player.

The names of parallel bosses are usually prefixed with "Parallel" in English and the French, Dutch, Spanish and Portuguese localizations deriving from it. However, the Japanese, German, Italian and Korean versions use the prefix "Another" while the Chinese versions use "Another Dimension", which further reinforce the relation of these bosses to Another Dimension itself.

Parallel bosses are not to be confused with other bosses that originate from Another Dimension but are not based on existing bosses, such as Grand Doomer and the Rampaging Doomers. Additionally, despite the three elemental bosses from Magolor Epilogue (Electricky Dooter, Fiery Puffer, and Hydriath) originating from the deeper portions of Another Dimension while bearing a resemblance to some existing bosses, they are also not classified as parallel bosses either.
