The Master Crown also serves as [[Master Crown (boss)|the final boss]] in [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]], where it takes the form of a gigantic tree-like being due to it possessing the [[Gem Apple|red fruit]]. Magolor confronts the Crown in his struggle to escape Another Dimension, ultimately destroying it for good with his own Ultra Sword.

==Description==
Flavor text from the game suggests that the Master Crown has a mind of its own, and can dominate whoever wears it and gives into its influence. This can be seen happening as Magolor is initially defeated by Kirby, when he and it transform into [[Magolor (second form)|progressively]] [[Magolor Soul|further]]-warped spectral entities. The pause screen description for the Master Crown boss battle explicitly confirms it to be sentient and able to control the minds of its wearers by devouring their souls. Furthermore, the Japanese, Chinese and Korean versions' flavor text for it also state it is capable of traveling through several worlds.


In other [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' games]] that feature [[Landia]] as a boss, the dragon is also seen wearing the crown, though in these cases the crown plays no significant role in the plots of the games. In the [[Team Kirby Clash (series)|''Team Kirby Clash'' games]], Landia EX and [[Parallel Landia]] also have their own versions of the Master Crown, though their properties are even less well-known. It is only stated, very briefly, that Parallel Landia is "blinded by the power of the crown" in his pre-battle flavor text.

| Upon possessing the [[Gem Apple|red fruit]], the Master Crown transforms it into a monstrous tree with a single yellow eye upon its trunk. It has two large branches resembling the wings seen on Magolor's second form, which allow it to fly despite its considerable size. Its canopy vaguely resembles the magic runes on Magolor Soul's arms. The tree possesses an array of drill-like roots that it can use to attack, and the Master Crown itself is entwined across the entire trunk of the tree. Its tendrils form part of the tree's "arms".

The Master Crown serves as the final boss of [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]] in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. Here, the crown has taken possession of the [[Fruit Fragment|red fruit]] that Magolor had assembled at the [[Ethereal Altar]], after its pieces were initially incorporated into [[Crowned Doomer]]. Using the power of the fruit, the Master Crown turns into a gigantic tree-like entity, which sits in the background for the majority of the fight.
===Attacks===
The following are all of the Master Crown's attacks. Attacks in {{color|brown|brown}} are used in the second phase only. Most attack names listed are from official Japanese strategy guides, while others are conjectural and are marked with an *:

!Attack
!Description
!Notes
|-
|異空の根<br>''Otherworldly Roots''
|The Master Crown creates 1-3 rifts, out from which its roots strike the stage in various patterns, creating [[Drop Star]]s on impact in The True Arena. While the roots are out, they can be attacked to damage the Master Crown, being one of the only ways to hit it.<br>In the second phase, the roots get larger and cover more area.
|
|-
|Gem Apple Bombs*
|The Master Crown creates two large Gem Apple bombs that drop from rifts onto the arena. They slowly grow larger until they detonate in a big explosion, but can be attacked to destroy them before this happens. The explosion cannot be guarded.<br>In the second phase, the Master Crown may drop a single extra-large Gem Apple Bomb that takes more hits to remove.<br>Kirby can swallow these using a Super Inhale to get the [[Bomb]] [[Copy Ability]].
|
|-
|ダフネの絶叫<br>''Daphne's Scream''
|The Master Crown shoots a laser from its eye that sweeps the ground, and then causes the entire floor to explode, hitting players within a certain range at the moment of impact. As soon as the explosion happens, the music temporarily lowers in volume, accompanied with a stun grenade sound effect.<br>The laser beam cannot be guarded, but the explosion can.<br>This attack is almost identical to the one [[HR-D3]] uses.
|"Daphne" (literally "laurel" in Greek) is [[wikipedia:Daphne|a nymph]] in the Greek myth of [[wikipedia:Apollo and Daphne|Apollo and Daphne]] that describes Daphne's transformation into the laurel tree. Pursued by Apollo, Daphne lets out a desperate cry for help to her river god father to transform her rather than continue to be the object of undesired affection. The name of the attack may refer to this outcry of Daphne, which gave origin to the laurel tree.
|-
|{{furi|双葉|もろは}}の舞<br>''Dance of the Twin Leaves''
|The Master Crown creates two groups of two large spade-shaped leaf projectiles on both sides and then fires them one at a time to its target from the background.<br>Kirby can swallow these using a Super Inhale to get the [[Leaf]] Copy Ability.
|
|-
|Seed Attack*
|The Master Crown drops four small seeds from above, which grow into narrow damaging vines shortly after being planted.<br>In the second phase, eight seeds are dropped.
|This attack is nearly identical to the one [[Marx]] uses in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''.
|-
|{{color|brown|憎悪と執念のミストルティン<br>''Mistilteinn of Hatred and Obsession''}}
|{{color|brown|The Master Crown flares up and creates a huge spread of unguardable lasers from its eye that start to sweep the ground. There are several different waves of lasers to dodge, some of which are double-waves.}}
|{{color|brown|''Mistilteinn'' is a Norse word that translates to "mistletoe", a parasitic plant which grows on trees, and in particular apple trees.<br>This attack is similar in name and execution to [[Void Termina]]'s "Crown of Evil and Obsession" (巨悪と執念の冠), and "hatred and obsession" is also used to describe the Master Crown in [[Magolor Soul]]'s Extra Mode Special Page.}}
|-
|{{color|brown|{{furi|双葉|もろは}}乱舞<br>''Wild Dance of the Twin Leaves''}}
|{{color|brown|The Master Crown creates two groups of four large spade-shaped leaf projectiles on both sides and then fires them one at a time to its target from the background. Kirby can swallow these using a Super Inhale to get the Leaf ability.}}
|
|-
|{{color|brown|Doomer Call*}}
|{{color|brown|The Master Crown calls in [[Darpa]]s, [[Dippa]]s, [[Dupa]]s, and/or [[Deppa]]s from rifts. These opponents have much more health than their regular counterparts, and are worth many [[Magic Point]]s if defeated before they vanish in Magolor Epilogue.}}
|
|-
|{{color|brown|王亡き帰還<br>''Return Without a Ruler''}}
|{{color|brown|The Master Crown teleports away, and then falls onto the arena from above, its huge shadow serving as a warning area. After crashing into the stage, after a moment, it digs deeper in, hitting anyone who isn't airborne. The Master Crown can be attacked directly while it is doing this attack.<br>In The True Arena, this attack makes Drop Stars appear both upon the initial landing and after the second crash.}}
|
|-
|{{color|brown|{{furi|双葉|もろは}}円舞<br>''Waltz of the Twin Leaves''}}
|{{color|brown|The Master Crown creates a big ring of sixteen leaf projectiles, then tosses them toward the stage in a sweeping manner. After passing by once, the leaves then bombard the stage from above, aiming for the player's current position.<br>Kirby can swallow these using a Super Inhale to get the Leaf ability.}}
|{{color|brown|This attack is similar to the Twelve Energy Shower and Thirty Energy Shower that [[Galacta Knight]] uses in his battles.}}

{{quote|To free the tree and {{color|red|bring an end}} to the destruction... To take {{color|red|responsibility}} for {{color|red|his wicked ways}}... With {{color|red|all of his magic}} infused into the sword, he must strike!

Once enough damage has been done in the Magolor Epilogue, Magolor finishes the Master Crown off using his version of the Ultra Sword, which he obtains for the first time by powering up a nearby sword on the battlefield. To help Magolor cleave through this foe, the player needs to shake their controller or mash directions on the Control Stick for an extended period of time, similar to Kirby's mash against Magolor in Story Mode. If the player does not mash fast enough, Magolor will lose some health and then, assuming he hasn't run out of health at this point, try to strike again.
The Master Crown is also faced as the penultimate opponent in [[The True Arena]], where Kirby and other characters can fight it. The last phase of the fight with the Ultra Sword clash does not happen in this version of the battle.

A similar term used to describe the crown in Magolor Soul's pause screen, being "hatred and obsession" instead. A similar laser attack named "Mistilteinn of Hatred and Obsession" would later be used by the Master Crown in its own boss battle in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''.

*Notably, whenever a boss who is wearing the Master Crown enters their second battle phase (when their health is knocked to 50-60% of their maximum), the Master Crown starts to shimmer and give off energy. This is naturally notable on Magolor and Magolor Soul, but also happens during the battles with Landia. This seems to imply that Landia also makes use of the crown's power when battling Kirby, though it is unclear to what extent the crown influences the dragon.

**The boss description for Landia EX in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' furthers this claim, mentioning that while Landia is the protector of the crown, he is unable to completely control the crown's "overwhelming, terrible power to rule".

*During the Master Crown's boss battle, its eye can be seen following Magolor (or any of the other playable characters)'s movement.
*Fighting the Master Crown as an ability-less Kirby in [[The True Arena]] is the only way one can inhale [[Darpa]]s, [[Dippa]]s, [[Dupa]]s, and [[Deppa]]s. This reveals that Deppas are internally coded as [[large enemy|large enemies]] and require a Super Inhale to swallow.
