Sakurai: look at what I drew, isn’t he cute? Shimomura: his final boss will be a bleeding eldritch nightmare eye composed of pure negativity.

The official art of Zero Two implies those red “feathers” are just bloody veins instead.

I think that the creepiest aspect of it all is that the writer/director of the Dark Matter Storyline actually Disappeared

It’s a small thing, but the later levels of Ripple Star kinda creeped me out as a kid because you got the creepy Catacombs music playing alongside the still-cutesie Ripple Star aesthetics. Just makes for a very off, unsettling atmosphere.

Neither Shiver Star nor Adeleine would be nearly as creepy if the other wasn't present. If either was removed, then the other could just be brushed off as a one-off element, but seeing both, especially in the same game, prompts one to make connections and wonder if there was something deeper. I also wonder what Adeleine herself thought when journeying through Shiver Star. Even if she had no memory of living there, it's entirely possible that she could've explored the mall a bit more and found things eerily designed just for her and seemingly no one else.

Batamon is just a drawing of Kirby made by Ado. Dark Matter used Ado's special art skills to try to make copies of Kirby after it found out of how he killed Dark Matter Blade. I think Adeleine drawing them as a base moveset in Star Allies solidifies this theory.

A few other things i found pretty disturbing that are normally overlooked 1. There is Official Artwork of Possessed Dedede in the Dreamland 3 Manual. While it’s not absolutely disturbing it’s unsettling due to just how genuinely depressed Dedede looks. It’s as if he knows he’s being held prisoner by the Dark Matter, But can’t do anything about it. 2. When the player defeats Dark Matter in Hyper Zone, it stops moving and just… Stares directly into the camera… at the player… It’s usually Orange eye is pure Black. To add on to this, Zero’s appearance makes it seem like the TV is glitching out in static. And then… He just appears. He just sorta appears in a blink of an eye through the glitching. It’s as if he doesn’t belong in this game itself. Combine this with how he isn’t made to look hand drawn like the rest of the cast in this game and you’ve got a character that nearly rivals Giygas 3. In Kirby Planet Robobot, You fight the Dark Matter Swordsman again. But as a clone. However it’s description is where things get interesting. Because it states that the Swordsman was so powerful, it was not able to be fully completed, and thus, it can’t access it’s true form. The SWORDSMAN. One of the lesser Dark Matter Invaders was so strong, an Intergalactic Super Computer could not fully replicate it. Not only does this mean that it’s insanely powerful, But, there are obviously Zero and 02 who are much stronger than the swordsman. How powerful ARE these things as a result? 4. Well this answers my question in point 3. Because Zero (or his presumed origin) is worshiped as a god by a cult known as the Jambastions. Hyness, the cult’s leader is driven mad by vessel Void is being held in, He goes on a long, sporadic rant. And a lot of his speech actually alludes to the Bible, especially if what he says about the “Book of legend” is true. And he even goes on to shun those who believe this book was a “Fairytale” which parallels those who have their own believes in the Bible. So yeah, Zero very well may be God/Satan in kirby’s universe

I'm willing to bet the four creatures in the factory might be some kind of artificial life-forms, considering their appearances don't quite match anything else in the Kirby series. One even seems to be a hippopotamus, which looks unlike any creature in Kirby. Headcanon time! My own, personal, twisted theory is that it's actually a toy factory, but then someone tried to take the concept of "lifelike toys" a bit too far. Perhaps that's what the presumed artificial intelligence running the factory has been doing in its spare time? Whatever the case, the factory has an unmistakable toy aesthetic, from jigsaw-puzzle-patterned walls, to squeaky hammers and tin men employed as a lethal security system.

Zero, 02 and Dark Matter as a whole has to be one of my favorite video game villains I don't know if it's something about their designer or whatever, I just think they're cool.

6:18 Finally, after so many years, I finally see somebody point that out in the Dark Matter analysis video, the first-aid bandage on 02's head always bugging me as a kid, it was later through replay the trilogy and reviewing artwork I finally realize that there's the high possibility 02 is basically 0 but wounded. Anyway, you've earned a new sub.

What if Shiver Star is Earth after it became a rogue planet, which is a planet that had escaped its orbit around its native star and went adrift through space? I wouldn't know how Earth would have done that, but maybe the reason why it's covered in ice is because it left the habitable zone of the Sun and froze over, likely forcing humanity to live underground until Earth entered the star system that Pop Star is in, after which humanity's survivors got the heck out of Dodge and spread out across the galaxy.

12:52 Ado was always Adeline. The name is merely shortened for the sake of saving space in DL3.

Zero 2’s name does help suggest that zero 2 is a successor to zero 1, as you could look at zero 2 as being zero II or zero the second.

Remember when MatPat tried to say that Kirby wasn’t a kids game just because a secret area just happened to look suggestive?
