Holo Defense API
| ||||||||||
|
“ | The holographic security system that defends this area from intruders. It analyzes past battle data and produces one holographic security guard after another. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description |
Holo Defense API is a Boss that made its debut in Kirby: Planet Robobot, appearing as the boss of Resolution Road. It somewhat resembles Pix from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, but consists of four diamonds rather than just three, and also uses a floating gear as a platform to seat itself on.
Game Appearances
Kirby: Planet Robobot
Holo Defense API is the boss of Resolution Road, fighting Kirby inside one of the Haltmann Works Company laboratories. It creates green, holographic versions of other bosses to battle Kirby with. These holograms have much less stamina than their real counterparts, and only fight in one phase. Each time a hologram is defeated, one of the diamonds on the API shatters.
Boss Fight
The following lists all of the API's attacks in Kirby: Planet Robobot. Attacks in italics are only used by API 2.0.
Phase 1
Holo-Kracko
“ | This hologram was created by analyzing data of the cloud monster who is believed to have inhabited the sky of this plane since ancient times. It excels at electrical attacks charged by the atmosphere. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description |
“ | They further analyzed the data of the cloud monster and discovered even more vicious attacks. The system redesign has implemented these attacks and made Holo-Kracko even more powerful. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description (2.0) |
Holo-Kracko uses attacks similar to the first phase of its Kirby: Triple Deluxe incarnation. Its 2.0 iteration uses the design of Kracko's Revenge.

Attack | Description |
Summon Minion | |
Star Beam | |

Holo-Doomers
“ | A hologram of monsters nested in another dimension. The original Doomers were red and blue. They love to eat Energy Spheres, which contain ancient technology. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description |
“ | These monsters were created by Susie entering data she acquired from her travels. Where and when did she encounter the original monsters from another dimension? Who knows? | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description (2.0) |
The Holo-Doomers attack identically to the pair found in Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3 of [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Template:KRDL KAW]]. Their 2.0 iteration uses the Sphere Doomers' EX designs.

Orb Scatter | |
Orb Drop | |
Burning Missile | |
Gravity Well |
Holo-Ice Dragon
“ | A hologram of a spectral dragon-- an ancient life-form that has lived through a number of ages. Most dragons breathe fire, but this blue dragon attacks with ice that it produces internally. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description |
“ | This hologram was created from an ancient dragon. Dragons are no longer seen, but one of them may still be living quietly in a cave on an island somewhere. Who knows? | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description (2.0) |
Holo-Ice Dragon is similar to its Kirby's Dream Land 2 iteration, but with an entirely new model and attacks that take advantage of its 3D appearance. Its 2.0 design is entirely new and features diamond-shaped motifs on its back and stomach.
Attacks - Holo-Ice Dragon | |
---|---|
Attack | Description |
Dash | |
Hover | |
Ice Breath | |
Icicle Slam | |
Ice Shot | |
Snowflake Shurikens |
Holo-Coily Rattler
“ | The hologram of the icon enshrined by People of the Sky. Its weak spot is the data on its head. It was only a snake puppet full of powerful energy, but it used to be worshiped as a deity. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description |
“ | It is said that the People of the Sky who enshrined this monster still exist. It seems that the mechanization invasion has not reached them due to their remote location. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description (2.0) |
Holo-Coily Rattler acts similarly to its Kirby: Triple Deluxe incarnation, with five pillars raising from the background to accommodate its attacks. As before, it can only be damaged at its head, which is colTemplate:Oured blue. It also now spits out bolts that give the Spark Ability, instead of rocks that give out Fire. Its 2.0 form uses the design of Coily Rattler DX and changes the colTemplate:Our of its head to red.
Attacks - Holo-Coily Rattler | |
---|---|
Attack | Description |
Spark Spit | |
Slither | |
Rollout | |
Scatter Storm | |
Burning Hoop | |
Bite Tackle |
Phase 2
Once all four diamonds shatter, the API attempts to engage Kirby directly in a last resort measure. It only has one hit point during this phase.
Attacks - Phase 5 | |
---|---|
Attack | Description |
Berserk |
Once the API is defeated, it flies uncontrollably about the area, crashing into pillars, then explodes in a very flashy manner. Kirby then does his victory dance and progresses onward to the next level.
Other Appearances
“ | Redesigned by the Mother Computer, this defense system is based on a blueprint found on another planet. It's missing a segment of data and is unable to demonstrate its full potential. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description (2.0) |
The Holo Defense API is also fought in The Arena. Likewise, its upgraded variant, Holo Defense API 2.0, is fought in both Meta Knightmare Returns and The True Arena. In its 2.0 form, the holograms are primarily purple as opposed to the green of the default form.
Trivia
- It appears similar to Ado and Adeleine in terms of their battle system. All three have only one hit point in their final phase as well.
- The description for its 2.0 form implies that its design is based on the blueprints of Pix.
- The Holo-Doomers summoned are a Fire Doomer and a Normal Doomer. However, the Normal Doomer is described as "blue" when its colTemplate:Our scheme is more predominantly purple.
