Game Appearances
Kirby: Planet Robobot
Star Dream Soul OS bears the scar left on its surface when Galacta Knight struck it. It also possesses President Haltmann's rapidly dwindling soul in its operating system, hence the name. It fights similarly to its Story Mode counterpart, with two notable exceptions. Its attacks are much more powerful, and the final phase is completely different.
Star Dream Soul OS must be defeated in order to complete The True Arena, and subsequently for 100% Completion of the game.

“ | "Why did I reactivate such a terrible machine? Oh, I remember--I wanted to see her just one last time. How foolish! I should have known that no machine could make such a dream come true." | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description signifying President Haltmann's final thoughts |

Once Phase 3 concludes, Star Dream Soul OS falls for a moment, but then shoots a surprise laser to cripple the Halberd. Meta Knight releases Kirby from its face, to engage Star Dream Soul OS one last time with the Robobot Armor by itself. However, this time, Star Dream Soul OS inhales Kirby. Inside, Kirby must then contend with the very heart of the computer, in a completely distinct final battle in a circular arena.
“ | All of Haltmann's memories have been deleted from the OS. Even his soul--the last trace of Haltmann-- has vanished. Star Dream has gone from a near-perfect being to a cold, mindless machine. | ” | — Kirby: Planet Robobot Pause Screen description |

When Star Dream Soul OS' Vitality is depleted, it returns to the center of the arena and pulsates violently. As it dies, it releases a last-ditch series of waves to try and take out Kirby. the unknown reader will actually need to control here, because if Kirby is not at full Vitality himself, he is guaranteed to be taken out if one of those waves hits, and will ignore invulnerability frames on any moves.
After the waves are dodged, the heart rises, shakes out of control, then shrinks. It pauses for a moment, then explodes, fracturing the heart in two, then crumbling into pieces.
Trivia
