'''Parallel Woods''', titled '''Otherworldly Arbor''', is a [[boss]] who first appeared in [[Heroes in Another Dimension]] of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''. He is the alternate counterpart to [[Whispy Woods]] and, like his normal counterpart is in Story Mode, is the first boss fought in [[Heroes in Another Dimension]]. He can also appear in [[The Ultimate Choice]], replacing [[Whispy Woods]] himself and [[Yggy Woods]].

==Origin==
The origin of Parallel Woods is told in the Japanese, Chinese and Korean pause flavor texts:

Parallel Woods was born from the spirits of numerous defeated [[Whispy Woods]] gathering in [[Another Dimension]], which is similar to how [[Parallel Twin Kracko]] were born from [[Kracko]]'s fallen fellows. Thus, the reborn parallel counterparts of Whispy and Kracko seek revenge on [[Kirby]] who has defeated them countlessly throughout [[Kirby (series)|the series]].

Parallel Woods, [[Parallel Twin Kracko]]/[[Parallel Big Kracko]], [[Parallel Meta Knight]] and [[Parallel Dedede]] are referred to as {{furi|異界四天王|いかいしてんのう}}/이공간 사천왕 (''The Four Otherworldly Kings'').

==Physical Appearance==
Parallel Woods is a pitch-black [[Whispy Woods]] with yellow eyes and a yellow mouth. Thus, his face resembles [[Meta Knight]] somewhat.

==Boss Battle==
Parallel Woods appears in the following game modes:

Parallel Woods fights very similar to both [[Whispy Woods]] and [[Yggy Woods]], but is much tougher than either, with double the [[health]] of Whispy and quicker attacks. When he shakes his canopy, enemies like [[Gordo]], [[Blado]], [[Burning Leo]], [[Driblee]] and [[Jammerjab]] can fall, along with the usual fare of apples. His [[Air Bullet]]s have slight homing properties, and will explode with fire on contact. He can [[inhale]] frequently and recover fast from tiredness. Sometimes he drops fiery Burst Fruits that explode immediately when falling onto the ground, but these can be turned into healing [[food]] by [[Blizzard]]/[[Bluster]]/[[Splash]] attacks before they touch the ground.

In the second phase, his Air Bullets can split into three which fly out in a pinwheel pattern, and he drops apples every time he jumps. Burst Fruits in this phase may include dropping the enemy [[Como]].

Parallel Woods can still be set on fire if multiple allies attack him with [[Sizzle]] attacks, but this requires more Sizzle [[damage]] to achieve than on Whispy or Yggy.

The following table lists all of Parallel Woods' attacks in ''Kirby Star Allies''. Notably he possesses the exact same attacks as Yggy Woods, but most operate very similarly to that of Whispy Woods. Attacks in italics are used in the second phase only:
{| class="wikitable" border="1" cellpadding="2"
!colspan=2|'''Parallel Woods' Attacks in ''Kirby Star Allies''''' &nbsp;
|-
! '''Attack'''
! '''Description'''
|-
| '''Apple Drop'''
|Parallel Woods drops four apples, which can be inhaled and spat back at him. Alongside the apples are also one [[Gordo]] and one [[Blado]], which cannot be inhaled and must be avoided.
|-
| '''Inhale'''
|Parallel Woods attempts to inhale Kirby and his allies. If successful, he will chew on them, then spit them back out. If Kirby and friends outlast the suction for long enough, Parallel Woods will tire out and be left vulnerable to attacks.
|-
| '''Air Bullet'''
|In phase 1, Parallel Woods first shoots 2 [[Air Bullet]]s and then 8 in a row really fast. The bullets fly faster than Whispy or Yggy's. In phase 2, Parallel Woods shoots three very-large Air Bullets, alternating between sides with each bullet if there's at least one ally on both sides of him. These large bullets, after flying out a certain distance, split into three smaller ones that fan out in a counter-clockwise or clockwise motion. If the small bullets hit the ground, they will explode, leaving [[Drop Star]]s on impact.
|-
| '''Quick Inhale'''
|Parallel Woods attempts to inhale Kirby and his allies for a shorter duration. If successful, he will chew on them, then spit them back out. Unlike his regular Inhale, Parallel Woods won't tire out if Kirby and friends outlast the suction.
|-
| '''Big Burst Fruits'''
|Parallel Woods lets down large burning fruits on vines, which can be swallowed for the [[Fire]] ability. If cooled down using a water, ice or wind-based attack, they yield [[Food]] items. In phase 1, three of them are summoned. In phase 2, four of them are summoned, two on each side, with the occasional [[Como]] dropping down alongside the fruits. Unlike Whispy or Yggy, however, when the Burst Fruits are pulled down, the vines immediately detach and the fruits very quickly explode upon hitting the ground.
|-
| '''Enemy Drop'''
|Parallel Woods shakes out four different enemies from his canopy, which include those that can be made into allies. Two Gordos will always fall while the other two will always consist of either [[Driblee]] and [[Burning Leo]], Burning Leo and [[Jammerjab]] or Jammerjab and Driblee.
|-
| '''''Great Harvest Apple Festival'''''
|Parallel Woods shakes violently, causing many apples to fall from his canopy. [[Chumbrella]] can protect anyone beneath it from apples.
|-
| '''''Blado Drop'''''
|Immediately after the Apple Festival, Parallel Woods drops 10 [[Blado]]s from his canopy, five on each side of him. The Blados hit the ground, then move quickly off-stage.
|-
| '''''Stomp Jump'''''
|Parallel Woods uproots and jumps three times around the stage, flattening anyone underneath when he lands. This attack cannot be guarded against, passed through with invincibility frames or even while using the Stone ability. Every time he lands, six apples; three on each side of him; fall from his canopy.

==Music==
Parallel Woods (Phase 2) and [[Parallel Big Kracko]] share the same battle theme. It is composed by [[Yuuta Ogasawara]] and titled '''異空をかけた戦い'''<ref>''Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack''</ref> (''A Battle in the Distant Otherworld''). It can be found as Track 189 in the [[Jukebox]].

This theme is a rock remix of "[[A Battle of Friends and Bonds]] 2", the regular [[boss]] battle theme (full version) of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]''.

==Trivia==
*When Parallel Woods inhales, the [[Blado]]s moving left still accelerate. While they keep spinnning and cannot move forward due to his inhale, they won't be swallowed. As his inhale stops, they will be able to move forward.
*Since Parallel Woods is pitch-black, if he's burned up by any fire-related attacks, the scorch will be barely noticeable.
