Team Kirby had just defeated the dragon Landia, the master crown falling off it's head. Magolor stepped in, slow clapping. Magolor: Bravo, you've truly earned your reputation as heroes. He bends over and picks up the crown. Now, thanks to your help, Planet Popstar is mine! Before he can put the crown on his head, Kirby tackles him, and the crown lands on Kirby. Kirby: P-Poyo? the crown quickly works it’s magic, taking control of Kirby. Kirby flees into a portal to some unknown place. Magolor was locked in the dungeons of Castle Dedede for his crimes against dreamland, and was currently being interrogated by Meta Knight for Kirby's potential whereabouts.
