'''Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'''
<br>
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'''
<br>
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'''
<br>
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'''
<br>
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'''
<br>
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'''
<br>
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'''
<br>
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'''
<br>
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.
Magolor will shoot magical attacks at the opponent, use his Lor Starcutter to attack or use the various techniques of his arsenal that he has from Star Allies.
He will summon common enemies from the [[Kirby (Franchise)|Kirby series]] and shoot purple fireballs at the opponent. Magolor will also spiral through the air at high speed and use his wizardly powers to phase through breakable walls and obstacles. Magolor will shoot magical attacks at the opponent, use his Lor Starcutter to attack or use the various techniques of his arsenal that he has from Star Allies.
|-|With Master Crown=
|-|With Master Crown=
Master Crown Magolor will manipulate dimensional rifts to summon enemies, create a pseudo-black hole to suck in his foes, shoot homing orbs, and create large energy beam glyphs while teleporting around.
Magolor's main attack during the final battle is teleporting around the field 3 to 4 times. He can summon and launch purple orbs with black holes in their centers making them look like donuts. He can shoot these weak orbs in multiple formations. Sometimes, he can create puddles of pinkish liquid which eventually become tall spikes when he thrusts his hands upward. Magolor can teleport himself to the background and hold one of his hands as it glows blue, then he launches five blue fire blasts that explode upon contact with the screen. Occasionally, he can open a star-shaped inter-dimensional rift to send out three or more mini Sphere Doomers, which attack by flying in circles or moving in a wave-like pattern.
After losing half his HP, Magolor becomes much more aggressive and brutal. He immediately resumes the fight by creating a giant version of one of his magic runes in the background and disappears. This hex then turns into a star-shaped black hole that is placed in the middle of the battlefield. Notably, not even the Stone or Leaf abilities will protect [[Kirby]] from the black hole. Magolor will also cross his hands repeatedly and put them together to launch a powerful laser beam cannon; however, this attack can be avoided by staying out of its range. If somebody gets hit, though, it can go for as much as half a health bar. The boss will summon and fire more dark orbs at a faster pace. Magolor adds another set of protruding spikes to his attack along with faster-moving blue fire blasts. When Magolor's health is near zero, his health bar will become segmented and he will erect a shield around himself that must be destroyed by using powers on the level of [[Kirby]]'s Super Abilities. Magolor will protect himself with five shields which create one giant star shield. Magolor will open three portals summoning three different enemies, one of which will be a Super Ability enemy. Magolor will then stand off in the background using his orbs against the opponent. After destroying all his shields, Magolor will rush to the center of the screen and attempt to recover a part of the shield.
|-|Magolor Soul/2nd Form=
|-|Magolor Soul/2nd Form=
Due to the Master Crown taking over Magolor uses more spatial warping over reality along with manipulating the dimensional rifts themselves to attack and using the dimensional rifts to send attacks through or go through himself.
Seconds after Magolor finishes exploding, he is revived by the Master Crown into his final form. Magolor will proceed to juggle and throw random enemies at the opponent. For his next attack, Magolor will create several star-shaped inter-dimensional rifts in different locations, which protrude large spikes after a set amount of time. He retains a few of the attacks that he used in the first fight, like the purplish-black orbs, black hole, and the beam cannon, the latter two attacks come out much faster than they did in the first battle. When he first warps into the background, Magolor can use star-shaped inter-dimensional rifts to warp himself out of sight. From there, he will summon two inter-dimensional rifts in the foreground and try to ram the opponent by flying out of one and into the other. Magolor can also create a mass of darkness in the foreground, the shape of which is revealed when he draws it in white ink in the background, before it abruptly enlarges itself on screen.
At half of his HP, Magolor will begin using "dark" versions of the Super Abilities. He will first summon two large dark swords, portraying the Ultra Sword ability, which he will swing, first from the right side of the screen and then the left, or vice-versa. Magolor will use his own version of Monster Flame's attack which attack from the left and right side of the screen, usually in the order left, right, or the other way around, and then both. Finally, Magolor can attack with his own dark version of the Flare Beam. He will hover in the middle of the screen and start gathering energy around himself. After he has charged up enough power, Magolor will start bouncing around the arena as a large orb of shadowy energy, ricocheting in another direction whenever he makes contact with a side of the screen. After he has rolled around for a bit, Magolor will suddenly zoom off into the background and then try to quickly smash into the opponent. Magolor will sometimes shoot his beam cannon through a star-shaped inter-dimensional rift. Then several inter-dimensional rifts will appear, with the beam cannon passing through them. He will continue to use a random assortment of his normal attacks and dark Super Abilities.
|-|EX Form=
Magolor EX's attacks are frequently more potent. As with the Main Mode battle, Magolor's first and most common attack will be to create three or more spherical projectiles to fire at the opponent; however, these projectiles are now fired much faster than those fired by his Main Mode counterpart, and they are now red with a more unstable appearance. Magolor EX's paint spike attack now shoots out green, cactus-like spikes and his blue fire blasts are now orange and significantly larger. Furthermore, Magolor EX is more careful with his aim, often firing leading shots so as to get the opponent trapped in the middle of the screen to get hit by a fifth blast. Magolor EX will summon Ice Sphere Doomers that are considerably larger than their appearance in the original battle.
Upon half his health being depleted, Magolor EX will pull out his black hole attack. The black hole is now a gloomy brown and is potent enough to wipe out 3/4ths of [[Kirby]], [[King Dedede]], [[Meta Knght]], & [[Bandanna Waddle Dee]]'s health if he's pulled in. It does not pull any harder than its Main Mode counterpart, making it just as easy to avoid. After firing off two sets of the projectiles instead of one, Magolor will prepare his laser attack. The laser is now brown with white flecks in it and is slightly larger than the original and deals more damage.
When Magolor surrounds himself in a golden, near-impenetrable star-shield, it will take the power comparable to the combined strengths of the Snow Bowl, Grand Hammer, and Ultra Sword abilities to obliterate the shield. When coming to the foreground while, Magolor EX will use a strong gust of wind to push the opponent away, he will then start firing Ice Sphere Doomers. Magolor EX will teleport off-screen and cause several portals to appear in quick succession on the floor; the first few will release a projectile which will turn into 6 that all go off in different directions if not destroyed immediately. Magolor EX will rise out of the last portal and either launch four projectiles straight above him or try to use his paint spike attack.
Once again, upon having his shield completely obliterated, Magolor will rush to the middle of the screen to repair it.

Magolor is a character in the Kirby series, debuting as the main antagonist and final boss of Kirby's Return to Dream Land. He tricks Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Bandana Waddle Dee into rebuilding his Lor Starcutter and defeating Landia so he could steal the Master Crown and conquer the universe.
Magolor returns in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, where he apologizes for his actions by building Kirby a theme park. Ever since then, he has appeared in later games as an ally.

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.

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.

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.

Lor Starcutter: The Lor Starcutter is an ancient ship that can travel through the cosmos. According to Magolor, the current owner of the ship, the Lor Starcutter is an ancient vessel that was crafted by the ancients, people of the past who made legendary treasures and pieces of technology. The ship was apparently crafted using an “incredible power.” The ship has the ability to travel throughout space and time by creating dimensional rifts. The Lor Starcutter was set down in a sacred resting place in Halcandra, a planet in Another Dimension, and the ancients entrusted Landia to guard it and some other artifacts they created. The ship was uncovered by Magolor, who repaired and upgraded it, though in truth he had stolen it. Also according to Magolor, the Lor Starcutter is apparently sentient, as he stated that there’s legends that say that the ship has a mind of its own. This is evidenced at the end of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, where the Lor Starcutter and Landia return to rescue Kirby and friends, despite Magolor having been defeated and not there to pilot it. Magolor also implies that the Lor may have the ability to speak, although there is no evidence to that.
Master Crown: Return to Dream Land only. The Master Crown is a seemingly malevolent item in the Kirby series, appearing in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It is a source of limitless power that when worn by the user gives them power to rule the entire universe, however the crown will take over the user overtime until there’s nothing left of the user except the crown.
Magolor releases a sphere of energy that launches forward, homing in on nearby enemies as it flies. If no enemies are nearby, it is launched at a random angle.
In Kirby Fighters 2, he only launches one orb at a time which can be bent up or down with directional inputs.

Standard Tactics:
He will summon common enemies from the Kirby series and shoot purple fireballs at the opponent. Magolor will also spiral through the air at high speed and use his wizardly powers to phase through breakable walls and obstacles. Magolor will shoot magical attacks at the opponent, use his Lor Starcutter to attack or use the various techniques of his arsenal that he has from Star Allies.
Magolor's main attack during the final battle is teleporting around the field 3 to 4 times. He can summon and launch purple orbs with black holes in their centers making them look like donuts. He can shoot these weak orbs in multiple formations. Sometimes, he can create puddles of pinkish liquid which eventually become tall spikes when he thrusts his hands upward. Magolor can teleport himself to the background and hold one of his hands as it glows blue, then he launches five blue fire blasts that explode upon contact with the screen. Occasionally, he can open a star-shaped inter-dimensional rift to send out three or more mini Sphere Doomers, which attack by flying in circles or moving in a wave-like pattern.
After losing half his HP, Magolor becomes much more aggressive and brutal. He immediately resumes the fight by creating a giant version of one of his magic runes in the background and disappears. This hex then turns into a star-shaped black hole that is placed in the middle of the battlefield. Notably, not even the Stone or Leaf abilities will protect Kirby from the black hole. Magolor will also cross his hands repeatedly and put them together to launch a powerful laser beam cannon; however, this attack can be avoided by staying out of its range. If somebody gets hit, though, it can go for as much as half a health bar. The boss will summon and fire more dark orbs at a faster pace. Magolor adds another set of protruding spikes to his attack along with faster-moving blue fire blasts. When Magolor's health is near zero, his health bar will become segmented and he will erect a shield around himself that must be destroyed by using powers on the level of Kirby's Super Abilities. Magolor will protect himself with five shields which create one giant star shield. Magolor will open three portals summoning three different enemies, one of which will be a Super Ability enemy. Magolor will then stand off in the background using his orbs against the opponent. After destroying all his shields, Magolor will rush to the center of the screen and attempt to recover a part of the shield.
Seconds after Magolor finishes exploding, he is revived by the Master Crown into his final form. Magolor will proceed to juggle and throw random enemies at the opponent. For his next attack, Magolor will create several star-shaped inter-dimensional rifts in different locations, which protrude large spikes after a set amount of time. He retains a few of the attacks that he used in the first fight, like the purplish-black orbs, black hole, and the beam cannon, the latter two attacks come out much faster than they did in the first battle. When he first warps into the background, Magolor can use star-shaped inter-dimensional rifts to warp himself out of sight. From there, he will summon two inter-dimensional rifts in the foreground and try to ram the opponent by flying out of one and into the other. Magolor can also create a mass of darkness in the foreground, the shape of which is revealed when he draws it in white ink in the background, before it abruptly enlarges itself on screen.
At half of his HP, Magolor will begin using "dark" versions of the Super Abilities. He will first summon two large dark swords, portraying the Ultra Sword ability, which he will swing, first from the right side of the screen and then the left, or vice-versa. Magolor will use his own version of Monster Flame's attack which attack from the left and right side of the screen, usually in the order left, right, or the other way around, and then both. Finally, Magolor can attack with his own dark version of the Flare Beam. He will hover in the middle of the screen and start gathering energy around himself. After he has charged up enough power, Magolor will start bouncing around the arena as a large orb of shadowy energy, ricocheting in another direction whenever he makes contact with a side of the screen. After he has rolled around for a bit, Magolor will suddenly zoom off into the background and then try to quickly smash into the opponent. Magolor will sometimes shoot his beam cannon through a star-shaped inter-dimensional rift. Then several inter-dimensional rifts will appear, with the beam cannon passing through them. He will continue to use a random assortment of his normal attacks and dark Super Abilities.
Magolor EX's attacks are frequently more potent. As with the Main Mode battle, Magolor's first and most common attack will be to create three or more spherical projectiles to fire at the opponent; however, these projectiles are now fired much faster than those fired by his Main Mode counterpart, and they are now red with a more unstable appearance. Magolor EX's paint spike attack now shoots out green, cactus-like spikes and his blue fire blasts are now orange and significantly larger. Furthermore, Magolor EX is more careful with his aim, often firing leading shots so as to get the opponent trapped in the middle of the screen to get hit by a fifth blast. Magolor EX will summon Ice Sphere Doomers that are considerably larger than their appearance in the original battle.
Upon half his health being depleted, Magolor EX will pull out his black hole attack. The black hole is now a gloomy brown and is potent enough to wipe out 3/4ths of Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knght, & Bandanna Waddle Dee's health if he's pulled in. It does not pull any harder than its Main Mode counterpart, making it just as easy to avoid. After firing off two sets of the projectiles instead of one, Magolor will prepare his laser attack. The laser is now brown with white flecks in it and is slightly larger than the original and deals more damage.
When Magolor surrounds himself in a golden, near-impenetrable star-shield, it will take the power comparable to the combined strengths of the Snow Bowl, Grand Hammer, and Ultra Sword abilities to obliterate the shield. When coming to the foreground while, Magolor EX will use a strong gust of wind to push the opponent away, he will then start firing Ice Sphere Doomers. Magolor EX will teleport off-screen and cause several portals to appear in quick succession on the floor; the first few will release a projectile which will turn into 6 that all go off in different directions if not destroyed immediately. Magolor EX will rise out of the last portal and either launch four projectiles straight above him or try to use his paint spike attack.
Once again, upon having his shield completely obliterated, Magolor will rush to the middle of the screen to repair it.
Weaknesses: The Master Crown will take over his mind if he’s defeated, otherwise nothing notable.
