Magolor's Fun Facts #2!
Hi there, everyone! This is the second post in the Magolor's Fun Facts series, where I post interesting and obscure facts about Magolor!
This one certainly isn't an entirely new discovery like Magolor's Fun Facts #1 was, but it's obscure and fun nonetheless.
This fact is...
Magolor News, a series of 9 articles published on the official Japanese Nintendo website to promote Team Kirby Clash Deluxe.
All of these but one are intended to have been written by Magolor himself during his time in the Dream Kingdom.
While plenty more happens or is discussed, I'll just be summarising some of the highlights here!
• Magolor frequently talks about or insinuates how great, kind, popular, etc. he is. My favourite examples of this are when he talks about how moved everyone was when they played songs related to him at the Kirby 25th Anniversary Concert and when he assumes the reason for the reader's sadness is that they haven't seen him in a while.
• Says he's just a weak general store owner, which is an obvious lie.
• Magolor tells the reader that Kirby recently turned 25, and that he hopes readers will celebrate his own 25th Birthday/ Anniversary soon.*
• Makes readers solve puzzles for Gem Apple passwords in one article to make up for their "greed" in using previous ones.
• Explains how to defeat Taranza and says he isn't very strong. The machine translation I'm using even ended up giving me the line "Let's beat up Taranza!"
• Susie, seemingly the main one from Kirby: Planet Robobot, is transported to the Dream Kingdom through a Dimensional Rift. She puts the planet on the list for the Mechanisation Project and while Magolor is away, she takes over the Shoppe, redecorates it with pink sparkles, puts gear based on her on display in place of the Magolor-themed gear, and eats Gem Apples that were for sale after turning them into sorbet. Magolor chases her away upon returning, but apparently she was very noisy.
• At the very end of the final article, Magolor asks to stay friends with the readers.
Those are some of the highlights, but there's plenty more guides and fun moments which I implore you to read using your browser's translation tool! It'll be a bit rough, but the vast majority of it makes sense. Here's the link to the first article!
See you around and a take a GREAT BIG THANK-YOU from me for reading Volume #2 of Magolor's Fun Facts!
*NOTE: I am using machine translation. Based on context I do believe Magolor is saying that Kirby actually turned 25 , even pointing out how surprising that is, and he says that he "wants" (likely meaning he's just fooling around and/or wants to be in the spotlight like Kirby was) to have his own 25th anniversary soon, but it could be intended a bit differently. Anyway, if anyone who can speak/translate Japanese has anything to say about this, please let me know whenever you can! It's at the end of the second Magolor News article.
