{{about|in-game movies accessible from a menu|more informal cutscenes|[[Cutscene]]}}
The '''Theater''' is a menu available in ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' titles, starting with ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'' which allows the player to re-watch cinematic cutscenes and other special videos from the game that they've unlocked. The menu itself is usually unlocked once a cutscene is watched in the main game for the first time.

Often times, special cutscenes that do not appear in the main game can also be viewed in the Theater, once certain requirements are met. The most prominent examples of this are the [[Kirby Master]] videos, which can only be unlocked once [[100% completion]] is met for the games they appear in.

=== ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' ===
[[File:KSSU Theater.png|thumb|200px|The Theater menu in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.]]
Most of the cutscenes are unlocked after viewing them in-game for the first time. Some cutscenes are only available through special conditions, which will be explained later on in the table below.
{| class="wikitable mw-collapsible" border=1 cellpadding=3
!colspan=3|Cutscenes in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' &nbsp;
|-
| <center>'''No.'''</center> || <center>'''Name'''</center> || <center>'''Description'''</center>
|-
| 00 || [[Kirby Super Star|{{Color|black|Original}}]] Kirby Movies || Consists of the original cutscenes from ''Kirby Super Star''. This cutscene can be unlocked after clearing [[Helper to Hero]] with every helper.
|-
| 01 || Grand Opening || The intro to ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Kirby can be seen flying on his [[Warp Star]] through space, then [[Dream Land]], and finally through the waters and the skies. This is the only cutscene unlocked at the start of the game.<br>There is a rare alternate version of this cutscene that may play instead, which has some minor changes. The most prominent difference is that Kirby winks at the beginning. Other differences include:
*The twinkle at the beginning spins clockwise instead of counter-clockwise and has six points instead of four. Kirby spins counter-clockwise instead of clockwise when flying into frame.
*Kirby's orientation is horizontally flipped, so he waves with his opposite hand. He jumps higher and does a flip before landing on the Warp Star.
*Birds fly in the distance while Kirby "surfs" on his Warp Star, he smiles instead of appearing angry, and he passes over a small island in the ocean. During this, he turns and waves to the viewer a second time.
*Kirby has a neutral expression when flying away instead of a smile, he waves a third time, and the starburst when he disappears is bigger.
|-
| 02 || Spring Breeze || The intro to [[Spring Breeze]]. At night, [[King Dedede]] and his soldiers can be seen running off with the stolen food, and Kirby comes by the "spring breeze" to get them back.
|-

King Dedede is launched out of [[Castle Dedede]] as he is defeated, and a ballooned Kirby is seen lifting Castle Dedede to return the food to the Dream Landers.

|-

A defeated King Dedede and his [[Waddle Dee]]s walk in the same desert that Kirby and Wheelie drove through in Revenge of Meta Knight.

|-
| 24 || Meta Knightmare Ultra || The intro cutscene to [[Meta Knightmare Ultra]]. The camera pans across a cliff that Meta Knight is resting on, with dark, moving clouds across Dream Land. Meta Knight then reveals his wings, raises the [[Galaxia]], and flies off for a worldwide adventure.

|-
| 29 || Knight's Triumphant Return || Ending cutscene to Meta Knightmare Ultra. A defeated Galacta Knight pinballs across space, before eventually breaking into a bright explosion. The rest follows the same as Kirby's Triumphant Return, except with Meta Knight in place of Kirby.
