Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright are a duo boss in Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby's Avalanche and Nightmare in Dream Land. They also make appearances in Kirby's Dream Land 3 (as paintings created and brought to life by Ado) and in Kirby: Canvas Curse, where they cameo as drawings in the Paint Panic Sub Game. In the latter, however, they are drawn separately.

The two are based on the moon and the sun, except with arms, legs, and facial features. Mr. Shine is the moon, while Mr. Bright is the sun. They also happen to be the personification of the sun and moon in the Kirby series. Their facial expressions vary from scowls to grins, and their yellow or white limbs are thin and flexible, albeit relatively short.

Game appearances

Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land

File:Mr Shine Mr Bright battle.png

Kirby battles with the tag-team duo in Nightmare in Dream Land.

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 other moves 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 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. 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.

The duo boss in Red Canyon.

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 there.

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

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's Avalanche

Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright are faced in Stage 10 of the main game. Apart from a few choice quotes before it begins, the stage has no noteworthy differences from others.

Kirby Mass Attack

Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright appear in Strato Patrol EOS as the bosses of level 3. Mr. Shine plays defense for Mr. Bright, as only defeating the latter will actually defeat these two.

Trivia
