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 3, 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 holographic versions of other bosses to battle Kirby with. These holograms have much less Vitality than their real counterparts, and only fight in one phase. Each time a hologram is defeated, one of the diamonds on the API shatters.

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
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.
Trivia
- The Holo-Doomers summoned are a Fire Doomer and a Normal Doomer.
- The only non-recycled boss used by the hologram is Ice Dragon.
- Based on the pause screen description for the API itself, it can be surmised that the events of Planet Robobot take place after the events of Return to Dream Land, Triple Deluxe, and Dream Land 2 and 3.
- 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.
