Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright
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.
Battle strategy
The duo battle separately, with one being in the sky and the other fighting Kirby. As such, Mr. Bright battles Kirby in the night and Mr. Shine battles Kirby during the day. While in the sky, the two can also attack, with Mr. Bright unleashing a beam that shows stars that can be swallowed for the Fire ability, and Mr. Shine shooting stars from the sky at Kirby, which can be swallowed for the Cutter ability. When Mr. Shine is battled, he sometimes throws a boomerang at Kirby. But for the actual battle strategy, as to how they attack, it normally works with a couple physical attacks, and then the member of the duo who is in the sky releases some star energy; then another physical attack can occur, and eventually the one on the ground does an energy attack and heads into the sky.
Trivia
- The sun and moon appearing in Milky Way Wishes in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra may be Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright.
