Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
Magolor is the driving force behind the events of that game. In the game's opening cutscene, Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede, and Bandana Waddle Dee are enjoying the sunshine, when suddenly a wormhole shaped like a star appears in the sky. The Lor Starcutter suddenly emerges from a wormhole. It breaks apart, losing its wings, emblem, mast, and oars, along with 120 Energy Spheres, as it plummets toward the ground. The ship soon crashes and the gang goes to see the source of the commotion. Inside the ship, Magolor is found unconscious. He wakes up in a panic and notices his ship has been severely damaged. Distraught, Magolor looks down in sadness. Kirby and the others offer to help him, which makes the alien ecstatic. From there on out, Magolor remains in the ship's control room overseeing its mainframe.
Throughout the story, the player can visit him inside Lor Starcutter, where he gives updates to the player's progress in finding his ship parts and Energy Spheres, but talking to him enough times will cause him to get increasingly annoyed. In Return to Dream Land Deluxe, he can also be enabled to assist the player with the Magolor Helper feature. During battle, Magolor will drop a random Copy Ability, and can pull players from bottomless pits. In the overworld, Magolor can also provide a potion to increase the Player's health.
In exchange for the heroes’ help, Magolor offers to take them to his home planet of Halcandra once he can get his ship working again (It is revealed by himself that this is a lie in the remake, but Magolor stated that he did stay at Halcandra for a long time.). After beating the Grand Doomer and retrieving the final piece, the mast, Magolor fulfills his offer and takes Kirby and the crew to Halcandra. When they arrive however, they are immediately attacked by the monstrous four-headed dragon Landia. The Lor Starcutter makes a crash landing once again, but luckily stays intact this time. Magolor explains Landia's history and appears confused as to why it attacked the Lor Starcutter. But regardless, Kirby and the gang offer to defeat the dragon for him.
After Landia is defeated, the golden crown it was wearing falls to the ground and Magolor appears, applauding ominously. He grabs the crown from the ground and puts it on his head, simultaneously revealing it to be the Master Crown. It gives Magolor great powers and he takes on a new form somewhat resembling a jester. Meanwhile, the gang is completely dumbfounded and horrified by his unforeseeable deceit. Now with the crown in his possession, Magolor explains his scheme to them, and stated that he plans to conquer the universe, starting with Planet Popstar. He "thanks" the heroes for helping him repair the Lor Starcutter, which enabled him to succeed at his scheme, and heads off to take over the heroes’ home through a dimensional rift. Kirby and company set out to stop the villain, with the help of the now awakened Landia.
After a battle with the Lor Starcutter, the heroes chase Magolor throughout Another Dimension. Magolor, using his newfound powers, strikes down the heroes one by one, making them all fall down to an unknown area. There, he battles with them to finish them off. However, with Kirby’s Super Abilities, Magolor is defeated, or so the heroes thought. The Master Crown suddenly takes control of Magolor, turning him into a manifestation of itself, and attacks the heroes. However, the heroes defeat the evil being once and for all, freeing Magolor from the Master Crown’s control and shattering it. Afterwards, Magolor seemingly vanishes in a shaft of light.
After shooting down Kirby and his friends before the final battle begins, Magolor abruptly decides to tap into more of the Master Crown's power, resulting in a different cutscene that shows him transforming into Magolor EX. On the battlefield, Magolor EX's attacks have received a cosmetic update and some of them now have properties that make them more dangerous.
Upon defeat, Magolor EX transforms into Magolor Soul. Unknown to the heroes, who barely escaped a now collapsing Another Dimension due to the Master Crown's destruction, Magolor survived the battle, having been stripped of his powers and his unconscious body sent to another dimension alongside the shattered remains of the Master Crown. Magolor fights his way through this hostile plain of existence, slowly recovering fragments of his powers, in order to escape the realm.
Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition
Magolor returns in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, where he had survived the events of Kirby's Return to Dream Land and built Kirby a theme park as an apology for his actions. Magolor appears as an opponent in the exclusive Challenge Stages as a competitive rival of sorts. As Kirby races him, he will summon common enemies and shoot purple fireballs to slow him down, and even attempt to pick up Score Coins. Magolor will also spiral through the air at high speed and use his wizardly powers to phase through breakable walls and obstacles. He will occasionally gloat and laugh at Kirby if he happens to fall behind. The final race, aptly named "Magolor Race EX," features Magolor embracing his darker powers and using them to race more quickly and strategically.
Since their last encounter, the two appear to be on friendlier terms. The two share a friendly and playful rivalry with each other. The races take place on mechanical gear-filled racecourses that match his personal attire and styling. The races are suspended high above the skies of Dream Land, the final of which during the EX race takes place in the dark and collapsing Another Dimension. It is never explained how he returned to Kirby's dimension following the events of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, though his initial appearance in the Lor Starcutter indicates that he may have used the ship to do so. Even still, it is unknown how he was able to return to the ship in the first place, given how he was taken to an entirely different dimension after his first defeat. It is possible he may have escaped between the events of Return to Dreamland and this game.
Aside from that, a commemorative gold 8-bit statuette of Magolor is visible in the museum mode and also appears as one of Stone Kirby's transformations. Magolor also appears in the credits, escorting Kirby across the screen as the credits roll underneath. As the credits finish rolling, Magolor returns to the Lor Starcutter and bids Kirby farewell before flying away.
Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe
Magolor's only appearance is in the last of the secret stages, which fittingly plays C-R-O-W-N-E-D. He appears holding a blindfold banner near the end of the stage. Blindfold banners are a common level hazard usually carried by Bronto Burts, but in this instance, Magolor replaces them.
According to director Shinya Kumazaki, the stages Dedede plays through were built by Magolor, as he demonstrated in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition that he has experience building amusement parks.
Team Kirby Clash Deluxe
Following his battle with the Master Crown and subsequent escape from Another Dimension, Magolor arrived to the Dream Kingdom and took up the job as the Merchant of the Shoppe. He helps Team Kirby by selling them weapons, armor, EXP Orbs, Potions, and Champion's Codexes in exchange for Gem Apples and Fragments. He also sells Gem Apples in exchange for real-world money. Once the player buys the maximum amount of Gem Apples, Magolor will thank Kirby for the patronage, and will muse that he should have enough funds for another plot.
Kirby Star Allies
Magolor returns as a Dream Friend, being added in the 4.0.0 update. His moves are reminiscent of his attacks during his boss fight in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and in the New Challenge Stages from Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition.
Super Kirby Clash
Magolor reprises his role as a shopkeeper from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. He also appears as two stickers, one in his normal outfit, and the other in his shopkeeper outfit, both of which can be purchased from the Shoppe, although the former must be unlocked first.
Kirby Fighters 2
Magolor appears as a playable character, being unlocked at Fighters Rank 39. He retains most of his moveset from Kirby Star Allies, albeit heavily altered. Shadow Kirby uses Beam when fighting against him.
Kirby's Dream Buffet
Magolor appears in four Character Treats from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition (as Pixel Magolor), Super Kirby Clash (as Shopkeeper Magolor), and the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Fest. Magolor also has a cake based on him for the Battle Royale Battle Mode, a Costume, and a Color.
