I Figure Now Is A Good Time To Go Over The Game Timeline In This Blog's Universe, Since It’s Not Just

I figure now is a good time to go over the game timeline in this blog's universe, since it’s not just the order the games were released in. I’ve been wanting to talk about this for a bit, but I figured I’d wait until that last ask was posted since it kinda brought the timeline up.

I’ll leave my explanations for everything under a cut, since it’s pretty long.

- Dream Land 1/Spring Breeze

- Dynablade

- Great Cave Offensive

- Meta Knight's Revenge

- Meta Knightmare

- Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land 

- Dream Land 2

- Dream Land 3

- Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards 

- Revenge of the King 

- Meta Knightmare Ultra 

- Milky Way Wishes 

- Amazing Mirror 

- Squeak Squad 

- Return to Dream Land

- Triple Deluxe

- Dededetour

- Planet Robobot

- Meta Knightmare Returns?

- Star Allies

- Guest Star and Heroes in Another Dimension

The spin-offs with plot (Epic Yarn, Mass Attack, etc.) are all in there somewhere as well (probably around their release order), but they don’t matter as much.

So yeah, Super Star is split up and scattered around. I think it makes more sense for Meta Knight’s Revenge, where Meta Knight was more of a villain, to come before Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land, where’s he more like a mentor to Kirby. And then I just figured that everything that comes before Meta Knight’s Revenge in Super Star might as well still happen first.

Basically, Meta Knight attacks Dream Land in an attempt to overthrow Dedede, but Kirby stops him. Impressed that Kirby was able to defeat him and intrigued by how similar he and Kirby look, Meta Knight decides to keep an eye on him and eventually starts to act as a mentor.

Meta Knightmare 1 is something I think I might wanna explain in an ask, though I guess it doesn’t matter too much. If you’d rather I explain it out of character just tell me, otherwise you can ask Meta Knight about his experiences with Nightmare/fighting Nightmare. …Or about his cape, since that’s connected.

After 64, Dedede recruits Bandee as his second in command (or something like that), and gives him the bandana as a sign of status. Kirby and Dedede are on pretty good terms now, but Dedede still decides to challenge Kirby to one last battle for fun (though Dedede does also want to prove to himself that he can beat Kirby.)

Meta Knightmare Ultra only consists of the Meta Knight’s Revenge and Milky Way Wishes parts, since the others aren’t too important. Meta Knight accidentally goes too far in a training exercise with his crew and crashes his own ship. Unfortunately, repairing the Halberd the first time used of most of the spare parts he had, so Meta Knight has to travel to the surrounding planets to gather more. Nova is pretty well known around Popstar, but only as a myth. Most people don’t know he actually exists. Still, Meta Knight decides to try his luck and summon him, since he’s heading to the planets anyway. Nova appears, and Meta Knight fights Galacta Knight instead of asking for parts because he’s a dumbass (and to be fair, he already collected most of what he needed.) Meta Knightmare Ultra comes before Milky Way Wishes so that Nova actually dies in the fight against Kirby and doesn’t somehow get revived by Meta Knight.

Dededetour pretty much just involves the last part. Dedede decides to head up to Floralia and help Taranza clean up the remains of Sectonia's Castle. He finds the Dimension Mirror and fights Shadow Dedede and Dark Meta Knight. Taranza probably also learns what caused Sectonia to go crazy (or at least gets a good idea of what happened). Also, Taranza and Dedede reconcile after the whole kidnapping thing and are now on fairly good terms with each other.

I have no idea how to handle Meta Knightmare Returns, honestly, cuz Kirby completely destroys Star Dream in his fight with it. I guess one idea could be that after being released from Susie’s control, Meta Knight is able to meet Star Dream, who puts him through all those trials. I dunno. The entire thing could also just not happen, but I feel like Galacta Knight appears so rarely that I shouldn’t do that.

I’m not sure which order Guest Star and Heroes in Another Dimension should be in. I have ideas for both cases:

The portal to Another Dimension opens up after Void Termina is fought. After coming to his senses at the end of Heroes in Another Dimension, Hyness realizes that sealing Galacta Knight away forever was kind of a dick move, so he decides to free him. The Star Allies don’t realize Hyness' good intentions and go to stop him, but Galacta Knight is still released. And then the whole thing with the butterfly happens. I’ve got no explanation for that.

Or, after Void Termina is defeated, a spiteful Hyness releases Galacta Knight in an attempt to unleash another galactic crisis. The summoning opens up the portal to Another Dimension, and Heroes in Another Dimension occurs after Morpho Knight is defeated.

One last thing: the Arena and True Arena never happen in this universe. Instead, though, extra forms like Star Dream Soul OS and Void are added to the story mode fight so that Kirby fully defeats the boss the first time around. The two exceptions to this are Marx and Magolor. Marx is rescued by Magolor before he can absorb Nova's power, so Marx Soul is never created. Magolor EX and Magolor Soul aren’t really necessary to include, so I’m thinking that the regular mode and extra mode forms are combined to have the appearance of the regular mode forms but the strength of the extra mode ones. Not that that really matters though, I guess. Oh, and also the arena short version of Magolor Soul's death scream (this one: https://youtu.be/wNrjR6gmpu8 ) is kept because that shit's creepy and depressing and I need it.
