Zero (sometimes shortened as 0, also known as ? in the False Ending of Kirby's Dream Land 3) is the final boss of Kirby's Dream Land 3. It is the leader of Dark Matter, and is fought directly after Dark Matter in the Hyper Zone. While it does not appear in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Zero appears to have been succeeded by .

Zero resembles a giant white sphere with a single red eyeball in the center. For some of its attacks, it spurts blood from its eye. It also has the power to summon Dark Matter. When it is defeated, the red eyeball makes a bloody emergence from the body and must be defeated again.

A portion of the battle with Zero.

After forging the Love-Love Stick, Kirby and his friend Gooey fly into the heart of Dark Matter in an area called the Hyper Zone. There, after Kirby defeats Dark Matter, Zero appears out of nowhere and engages Kirby.

Phase 1

Zero has a number of attacks, but its main source of danger is its looming size. Attacks include the following:

  • Shooting red blood pellets out from its body as a projectile volley.
  • Creating small Dark Matter flyers and sending them at Kirby.
  • Charging at Kirby.
  • Leaving the main area and firing blood at Kirby from the background.

To hurt Zero, Kirby must simply hit the boss with projectiles from the Love-Love Stick in his hands (32 damage per shot), though Zero takes many hits to defeat. Zero's first form has 4080 HP, which takes 128 shots from Kirby to defeat (or 160 shots if Gooey is in battle due to the 0.8× damage modifier for 2 players). Zero's first form has only 1 invincibility frame when getting hit so it's faster to defeat this form with 2 players.

Phase 2

Once it loses all its HP, Zero's eye rips out of its body in rather gory fashion and pursues Kirby as a last resort to defeat him. All Kirby has to do at this point is dodge and keep hitting it with the Love-Love Stick. Zero in this form now has only 256 HP, which takes 8 shots from Kirby to defeat (or 10 shots if Gooey is in battle). Zero's eye has much longer invincibility frames so it's suggested to battle with 1 player only. Defeating the eye of Zero finally defeats this boss, and completes Kirby's Dream Land 3 with the good ending.
