Compared to other enemies in the Decisive Battlefield region, Dark Taranza is not particularly strong, but just like his normal counterpart, he is capable of some energy-based attacks, and can web Team Kirby up. Unlike most enemies, however, he is only fought in one phase.

Once Dark Taranza is defeated, he brings back the Black Mirror, and uses it to call upon his master, King D-Mind. Once the king of darkness is summoned, however, he immediately dispatches Dark Taranza using his hammer, shattering him into countless shards, and presumably destroying him for his incompetence.
