Level 8: '''Another Dimension''' is a dark realm in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' where the final boss battles are fought. [[Kirby]], [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], [[Meta Knight]], and [[King Dedede]] are taken to this stage after [[Magolor]] tricks Kirby into helping him take over the universe. Here, Kirby fights [[Magolor]] to help preserve not just [[Popstar]] but the entire universe's sovereignty. The level progresses directly after the final events of [[Dangerous Dinner]], and all four heroes partner up with [[Landia]] to fly through this level, in a shooter-style vain that is tradition to most Kirby games.

Another Dimension consists of four segments, though which segments are encountered vary depending on the mode. The first three segments are played in shoot-'em-up style with Landia's help. Once the end of the shoot-'em-up segments is reached, Kirby and his friends face off against the Lor Starcutter, and then, following a cutscene, Magolor himself.

===Stage 1===

 

There are four types of enemies that are encountered in this segment and the following one. There are only four types of enemies in this area. All four have official names in Japanese, but only three of the four are named in [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]]'s ambush theme ("VS Darpa-Dippa-Dupas"). The Japanese names, along with '''ローパー''' used by the Sphere Doomers, form the ra-gyō (ら行) of the [[wikipedia:Gojūon|Gojūon]] table.

All of the enemies' projectiles can also be shot down, so the best strategy is to keep firing.

Upon entering the next void, Landia is set upon by [[Magolor]], who proceeds to call the [[Lor Starcutter]] out from a rift, bearing much darker colors. The ensuing fight begins as the Lor fires shots from its emblem, uses its wings as boomerangs, uses its oars as homing projectiles, and fires a vortex from its mast. It can also raise its shields and charge directly forward to deal damage.

As Landia and his crew charge after Magolor, the crowned villain prepares energy orbs which he fires at them. [[Meta Knight]] is able to successfully deflect them with his blade. Magolor intensifies his attack, and manages to hit all of them out of the sky, causing the heores to plummet to a blue bubbling landscape below.

===Stage 4: '''(Boss: [[Magolor]] and [[Magolor Soul]])'''===

Upon entering the boss chamber, Magolor appears, creating dark orbs around him that explode in the background in a flashy entrance and the fight begins. Magolor's primary attack is to throw these dark orbs at Kirby in various patterns, which can be deflected, as shown in the cinematic. He can also make spikes pop out of the floor, and jump into the background to fire powerful blasts of energy. As the fight progresses, he will open up a rift to summon Para-Doomers to assist him. All the meanwhile, a portal to [[Pop Star]] can be seen moving into place in the background.

Once his health is almost depleted, Magolor will jump into the background again and summon a star-shaped shield around himself to protect from further attack. He will then summon enemies into the stage to attack Kirby, some of which can provide the various [[Super Ability|Super Abilities]]. Magolor will continue to fire orbs from the background, but once he is in the foreground, Kirby has to use that chance to hit him with his super technique to damage the shield. Every two hits, Magolor will create a shock wave to dispel Kirby's ability, and he will have to get a new one. When Magolor only has one shield point left, the last ability to appear will be [[Ultra Sword]]. Once Magolor's shield is gone, he will attempt to charge one last move, and Kirby has this chance to make his final strike. However, Magolor will attempt to block this, and the player will need to shake the Wii Remote or tap the + Control Pad rapidly to ensure the strike goes through. That done, Kirby makes several more strikes, then grows the sword to tremendous size for one final mighty blow, finally defeating Magolor, who bursts and annihilates.

However, the fight is not over yet. The [[Master Crown]]'s power is such that Magolor is revived into [[Magolor (second form)|an even larger and more menacing ghostly form]] (known as [[Magolor Soul]] in [[Extra Mode]]). Magolor opens up by dispelling Kirby's Ultra Sword, then comes in, juggling various enemies and throwing them at Kirby. Among his attacks are, the ability to summon spikes from all over the stage, fire dark orbs from any direction, travel through rifts at lightning speed, fire the super beam that he could before, and creating a stencil that transforms into a wall of pain on the stage.

Once he is reduced to half health, he jumps into the background, then proceeds to begin using his own versions of the various Super Abilities. He will also fire his super beam into rifts, then cause it to systematically travel all over the stage. Defeating Magolor in this form causes him to disintegrate and return to his normal form. The crown will then levitate off his head and shatter, causing Magolor to implode in on himself and disappear. This triggers the game's final cinematic, then the credits.
