Dark Matter (cloud): Difference between revisions

The '''Dark Matter cloud''' is a collective group of Dark Matter that forms a mass of clouds. It appears as an antagonistic force in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' and ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]''. In those games, it is controlled by [[Dark Matter]], [[Zero]], and [[0²]] to take over planets and influence their inhabitants.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===

After being defeated in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', Dark Matter once again tries to take over [[Dream Land]] alongside Zero. He uses the dark cloud to exert control over [[Popstar]], which [[Kirby]] and his friends confront by collecting [[Heart Star]]s from each of the bosses and inhabitants of the world. After collecting all of the Heart Stars to form the [[Love-Love Stick]] and defeat Dark Matter and Zero, the dark cloud dissipates.

In ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', [[0²]] tries to take over [[Ripple Star]] using the dark cloud, but [[Fairy Queen|the Queen]] acts quickly and sends [[Ribbon]] with the [[Crystal Shard|Crystal]] capable of defeating it. However, she is quickly ambushed and the Crystal splits into several shards. Fortunately, Kirby is willing to help defeating the menace. The Dark Matter cloud is not actually directly fought in this game, but three beings called Dark Rimuru, Dark Rimura, and Dark Rimuro instead possess Waddle Dee (turning him into Waddle Doo), Adeleine, and King Dedede respectively, forcing Kirby to battle with them as minibosses on Pop Star.<ref name="dark trio">https://kaialone.tumblr.com/post/185138285915/kirby-64-translation-the-dark-trios-names</ref> After 0² is defeated, the dark cloud dissipates, and Kirby and his friends are rewarded with medals and nominated heroes for saving the fairies and their planet.
