[[File:KA Mr Shine and Mr Bright.png|thumb|left|200px|The beginning of the fight in ''Kirby's Adventure'']]
Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright made their debut in this title, serving as the boss of [[Butter Building]]. They fight against Kirby in a tag team style: one hangs in the air while the other one attacks on the ground, using tackles and projectiles against Kirby. The one in the air offers various support attacks to their partner. The time of day appears to shift if Mr. Shine appears in the air, as this dims the stage.


To defeat the duo, Kirby can use the [[Recoil Star]]s that appear from the attacks of the hanging foe to strike at the grounded foe, or by repeatedly using his [[Copy Ability]] if possible. After taking enough damage, Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright crash into each other and explode, leaving a [[Star Rod]] piece behind in the twilight for Kirby to collect.
To defeat the duo, Kirby can use the [[Dropped Star]]s that appear from the attacks of the hanging foe to strike at the grounded foe, or by repeatedly using his [[Copy Ability]] if possible. Alternatively, Kirby can gain the [[Cutter]] ability by swallowing the stars that drop when Mr. Shine is in the air, or gain the [[Fire]] ability by swallowing the stars that appear from Mr. Bright's sunbeam attack. After taking enough damage, Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright crash into each other and explode, leaving a [[Star Rod]] piece behind in the twilight for Kirby to collect.
 
In this battle, Mr. Shine's charge attack and cutter blade can both be crouched under - a trait which carries over to his appearance in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''.
 
===''Kirby's Pinball Land''===
Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright appear separately in the uppermost board of [[Kracko Land]]. Mr. Bright appears first, and must be hit three times to defeat, worth 900 points for each hit. Once he is defeated, Mr. Shine then appears, who must also be hit three times, though with each hit now being worth 1800 points. Once Mr. Shine goes down, a [[Warp Star]] appears which can take Kirby to the boss board against [[Kracko]].

The duo boss also appears in the Red Canyon [[Bonus Chance]], where Mr. Bright tosses out [[Point Star|Mini-Stars]] and Kirby has to dodge both Mr. Bright's attacks, and Mr. Shine's body bouncing along the floor.

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

The beginning of the fight in Kirby's Adventure

Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright made their debut in this title, serving as the boss of Butter Building. They fight against Kirby in a tag team style: one hangs in the air while the other one attacks on the ground, using tackles and projectiles against Kirby. The one in the air offers various support attacks to their partner. The time of day appears to shift if Mr. Shine appears in the air, as this dims the stage.

To defeat the duo, Kirby can use the Dropped Stars that appear from the attacks of the hanging foe to strike at the grounded foe, or by repeatedly using his Copy Ability if possible. Alternatively, Kirby can gain the Cutter ability by swallowing the stars that drop when Mr. Shine is in the air, or gain the Fire ability by swallowing the stars that appear from Mr. Bright's sunbeam attack. After taking enough damage, Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright crash into each other and explode, leaving a Star Rod piece behind in the twilight for Kirby to collect.

In this battle, Mr. Shine's charge attack and cutter blade can both be crouched under - a trait which carries over to his appearance in Kirby's Dream Land 2.

Kirby's Pinball Land[edit]

Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright appear separately in the uppermost board of Kracko Land. Mr. Bright appears first, and must be hit three times to defeat, worth 900 points for each hit. Once he is defeated, Mr. Shine then appears, who must also be hit three times, though with each hit now being worth 1800 points. Once Mr. Shine goes down, a Warp Star appears which can take Kirby to the boss board against Kracko.

Kirby's Dream Course[edit]

Mr. Bright appearing to change the time of day in Kirby's Dream Course.

In Kirby's Dream Course, Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright make a brief appearance when Day and Night Switch is used. Additionally, they have a course named after them, Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright Course.

Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright are fought at the end of Red Canyon. Their attack pattern is largely the same as their previous appearance, but they are given a new move, wherein one of them eclipses the other, causing everywhere but the shaded area to flash, hurting Kirby if he's out in the heat. Notably, Kirby can acquire the Burning Copy Ability by inhaling the drop stars that appear when Mr. Bright uses his sunbeam attack, as the Fire ability does not appear in this game.

The duo boss also appears in the Red Canyon Bonus Chance, where Mr. Bright tosses out Mini-Stars and Kirby has to dodge both Mr. Bright's attacks, and Mr. Shine's body bouncing along the floor.

Kirby's Block Ball[edit]

Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright appear in Stage 5 of this title. Mr Shine actually appears on his own in round 4, and needs to be hit 4 times to be defeated, worth 5000 points. In round 5, he appears again as the Boss, and has 6 hit points. Once he is defeated, Mr. Bright appears, who also has 6 HP. Defeating both of them yields 50000 points and clears the stage.

Kirby Mass Attack[edit]

Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright in Strato Patrol EOS

Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright appear in Strato Patrol EOS as the bosses of stage 3. They use very similar attacks to their previous appearances; Mr. Shine rolls across the screen to harass the Kirbys, while Mr. Bright fires beams from his hands and solar waves from his body. If Mr. Bright is defeated first, Mr. Shine will revive him. This means that Mr. Shine should be defeated first if the player is aiming to defeat them quickly; if one is aiming for a high score, however, they should focus on defeating Mr. Bright as many times as possible.

If Kirby defeats Mr. Bright multiple times, the two will eventually merge into one being. This new form can use the attacks of both Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright at a much faster rate, but defeating him will take him out for good.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Kirby: Right Back at Ya! monster known as Slice n' Splice wields two polearms whose blades resemble Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright.
  • In the Kirby Super Star game mode Milky Way Wishes, the conflict that prompts Kirby to adventure involves the Sun and Moon fighting each-other. These two entities look similar to Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright, particularly when the latter are in the air, but it has never been explicitly stated that the Sun and Moon in Milky Way Wishes are Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright.
