User:Superbound/Sandbox/List of misconceptions: Difference between revisions

*'''The ''Kirby'' series is not set within the Milky Way Galaxy.''' This is a misconception due to the English name of [[Milky Way Wishes]], which implies that the game (and thus, [[Popstar]]) takes place in the Milky Way. However, the Japanese title is "Wish Upon the Galaxy" and makes no reference to the Milky Way specifically; the manual for ''Kirby's Dream Land'' mentions that Popstar (unnamed at the time) is so distant that it is not visible from Earth, thus making it unlikely that it would situated in the Milky Way. The actual name of the setting of Milky Way Wishes, according to the description of the [[Starship]], is the "starry path" (known as the "Milky Road" in Japanese); the galaxy that Popstar is located within does not have a confirmed official name ([[Gamble Galaxy]] likely does not refer to it).

*'''''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' does not canonically take place after ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''.''' This was just an example given by [[Shinya Kumazaki]] on [[List of HAL Laboratory Miiverse posts - Kirby: Triple Deluxe|the ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' Miiverse channel]] — "the opening cutscene starts in a way that ''could be'' picking up from the ending of Kirby Super Star, in that we see Kirby at home snoozing away in bed..." — as a point of comparison for the game's opening cutscene. While it is generally safe to assume that later ''Kirby'' titles come after earlier ones chronologically, there is no defined timeline for the series.

*'''[[Necrodeus]] did not create the [[Sun Stone]]s.''' As above, this misinformation stems from [[List of HAL Laboratory Miiverse posts - Kirby: Triple Deluxe|a Miiverse post]], in which [[Shinya Kumazaki]] theorizes that the Sun Stones could have been created by "someone who dislikes the sun"; he never specifically names Necrodeus.<ref>{{Cite|In this game, you cultivate the Dreamstalk in order to progress. This requires Sun Stones and Grand Sun Stones - jewels that contain the power of the sun's rays. So the sun, which is of course a star, is a key item in this game! Perhaps someone who dislikes the sun has tried to rob Floralia of its light by transforming that light into jewels..?|[[Shinya Kumazaki]]|[https://web.archive.org/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAADMUKmEi-SK-A Archived Miiverse post]}}</ref> It is worth noting that the quote specifically focuses on ''sunlight'', not light in general, and when addressing light it specifically mentions the light of Floralia. Because Queen Sectonia is heavily associated with moonlight, Sun Stones act as part of a moon/sun dichotomy, as opposed to Necrodeus, who acts on a darkness/light dichotomy.
