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.
Game Appearances
Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land
Mr. Shine & Mr. Bright made their debut in this title, serving as the boss of Butter Building. They fight in a tag-team style, with one hanging in the air while the other engages Kirby on the ground. Whichever one of them is in the air will determine the time of day. To defeat them, Kirby can use the Recoil Stars that appear from the attacks of the hanging foe to strike at the grounded foe. Once both are sufficiently damaged, they crash into each-other and explode, leaving Kirby to collect the Star Rod piece in the twilight.
Kirby's Dream Land 2
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 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.

Trivia
