'''King D-Mind''' is an enemy that is encountered after the main game of ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]'', and later appears in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''.

Defeating him is required to truly complete the game.

In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'', King D-Mind is fought as part of "Tougher: The Final Battle" and again in his then-unnamed Revenge form in "Toughest: The True Final Battle" in the Decisive Battlefield. He is first encountered after [[Dark Taranza]] summons him from the [[Black Mirror]], who the king quickly dispatches. In ''Super Kirby Clash,'' he is fought in three Quests: one serves as the game's ninth Ordeal and his Revenge form serves as the penultimate Ordeal and Party Quest in the game.

According to [[Magolor]], the king of darkness could have borrowed and reflected the appearance of [[King Dedede]], the unseen king of the [[Dream Land|Dream Kingdom]]. Why he takes that appearance is unknown.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/jlkj/special/index.html ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' Japanese official website - Magolor News #9]</ref>
Both times he is initially summoned, he immediately turns on the summoner with his hammer before fighting Team Kirby. In ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'', Dark Taranza shatters after getting hit, while in ''Super Kirby Clash,'' Parallel Nightmare simply gets sent flying into the background from the attack.

King D-Mind fights with aspects of [[Shadow Dedede]] and [[Dark Mind]], using his hammer (and later, an axe) to deal damage, as well as being able to fire numerous different types of projectiles from his weapons and from his belly, which can open up to reveal a burning eyeball similar to Dark Mind's true form in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. King D-Mind's Revenge is substantially more powerful, with some of his attacks being capable of taking out even a high-level Kirby hero in one hit if he is not wearing the best equipment.

Excerpt of King D-Mind's battle theme from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe

 This box: view  talk  edit 
The king of darkness returns for the very last battle. The world needs Team Kirby!
— Toughest flavor text from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe

King D-Mind is an enemy that is encountered after the main game of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, and later appears in Super Kirby Clash.

In the former, he is encountered twice at the very end of the Decisive Battlefield's line of bosses, thus considered the final boss of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. He is fought as part of "Tougher: The Final Battle" after Dark Taranza summons him from the Black Mirror and again in his then-unnamed Revenge form in "Toughest: The True Final Battle". In the latter, he is fought in three Quests: his Story Quest battle serves as the game's ninth Ordeal and his Revenge form serves as the penultimate Ordeal and Party Quest in the game.

Both times he is initially summoned, he immediately turns on the summoner with his hammer before fighting Team Kirby. In Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, Dark Taranza shatters after getting hit, while in Super Kirby Clash, Parallel Nightmare simply gets sent flying into the background from the attack.

According to Magolor, the king of darkness could have borrowed and reflected the appearance of King Dedede, the unseen king of the Dream Kingdom. Why he takes that appearance is unknown.[1]

Battle[edit]

Time to face off against the King of Darkness yet again! Don't let the beams from his giant eyeballs mow you down!
— Toughest flavor text from Super Kirby Clash

King D-Mind fights with aspects of Shadow Dedede and Dark Mind, using his hammer (and later, an axe) to deal damage, as well as being able to fire numerous different types of projectiles from his weapons and from his belly, which can open up to reveal a burning eyeball similar to Dark Mind's true form in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. King D-Mind's Revenge is substantially more powerful, with some of his attacks being capable of taking out even a high-level Kirby hero in one hit if he is not wearing the best equipment.

Defeating him in the True Final Battle in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe opens up an opportunity for Team Kirby to seal him back in the mirror from whence he came, and then shatter it, finally breaking the mirror's influence on Taranza and saving the Dream Kingdom.

Attacks[edit]

The ultimate King of Darkness has awakened! Our only light of hope in this desperate hour is Team Kirby!
— Super+ flavor text from Super Kirby Clash

The following are all of King D-Mind's (and King D-Mind's Revenge's) attacks in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash. Note that attack names are either derived from other sources or are conjectural:

The final ground sweep occurs twice in a row from left-to-right and right-to-left. His Revenge form immediately fires after stopping on three Kirbies and the final ground sweep continuously moves from one side to the other and back again before quickly sweeping one last time.

Music[edit]

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe[edit]

The first phase of King D-Mind battle plays a new remix of the theme "Castle Lololo", which is also used in the Landia EX battle. On Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack, this song is titled 強大なボスとの決戦 (Decisive Battle with a Mighty Boss).

The second phase of King D-Mind battle plays a new orchestral mashup of "Last Boss / Second Form" (Dark Mind's theme) and "Dedede's Royal Payback" (Masked Dedede & Shadow Dedede's theme from Kirby: Triple Deluxe).

Super Kirby Clash[edit]

King D-Mind's Revenge uses remixed versions of the music tracks from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, while the music used for both phases of King D-Mind's regular form is a remix of the Giant Masked Dedede battle theme in Kirby's Blowout Blast.

Trivia[edit]

  • King D-Mind's internal filename is "MaskedBlackDedede", a combination of Masked Dedede and Black Dedede (the Japanese name of Shadow Dedede). Based on his moveset, King D-Mind can be considered "Shadow Dedede DX", but they are different characters.
  • King D-Mind's Revenge in Super Kirby Clash has the highest health in the entire Kirby series history, with 3,039,600 HP. This information is not directly communicated to the player, and it should be noted that the Kirby Clash games use a different health and damage system from the main series.
  • King D-Mind is the only final boss that debuted before Kirby Star Allies who isn't featured in the "Bad Boss Brothers" Celebration Picture.
