Fun fact! Elfilis’s meteor attack is called “The Fermi Paradox’s Answer. There’s a reason there are no aliens. Fecto Elfilis killed them all.
That's a cool fact.
Also not only did Fecto Elfilis kill all the aliens, but their superior form: Chaos Elfilis killed every ounce of self confidence I had.
thats hilarious
Oh wow... That's dark as fyuck!
@@Wolfieboi0527I don’t blame you! Chaos Elfilis is beautiful and angelic, but its intro has it give one heck of an angry death glare! Oh, and those lasers
Holy freak that’s metal, and also kinda messed up.
Edit: omg I just realized that to the waddle dees and other inhabitants of popstar, we are aliens. *We are, in Kirby, actually freaking extinct because of fecto elfilis.*
“You throw another moon at me, and I’m gonna lose it.”
“COME ON!”
Elfilin: "Stop..."
Ok I won’t throw a “moon” at you

Don't let this theme distract you from the fact that 2-player mode is essentially Bandanna Dee's most epic character growth in all Kirby games. He went from a lackey who would try to defeat Kirby into a friend and companion who would stay by his side, no matter how rough things get. He basically watched his fellow Dees get captured and locked in cages and put into labor, was forced to fight his own King (again), had to watch his king sacrifice himself for the sake of the Waddle Dee's survival, and let's not forget the friendship between Eifillin and Bandanna Dee. In response to losing everything, Bandanna Dee used the remaining courage he had and defeated Fecto Eifillis. Bandanna Dee proved to be a versatile asset in Forgotten Land's 2-player Mode, and one of the best characters in this game.
As someone who almost always played 2-player co-op with my sister, I'm really happy to see that Bandana Dee got the credit that he deserves
Cherish Return to Dreamland for making him debut in need for a 4th playable character
Also Meta Knight tanked mind control.
Dedede never sacrificed himself, bandana dee knew those beast pack lackeys never stood a chance against a rival of KIRBY.
@@minecrafter3448 Now that I think about it, being a rival of KIRBY of all things is pretty insane Lol
let's not let this theme distract us from the fact that people canonically call Kirby *"The Pink Demon"* as stated by Announcer Waddle Dee and is not just a title from smash bros or a name from superstar, *its his actual in-universe title*
That’s been a thing since at least Super Star Ultra
They aren’t wrong.
It's a reference to Smash. On the Punch-Out stage, Kirby's title is "The Pink Demon".
@@winterracat which in turn is referencing Kirby Triple Deluxe's pause screen description for the true arena (I think it was Triple deluxe)
He really is though
for a long stretch, Kirby antagonists have had their origins in madness born of an outside source.
Magalor was influenced and possessed by the Master crown/zero.
Sectonia was driven mad by the dimensional mirror.
President Haltman had his mind and memory eroded by constant overuse of Star Dream.
Hyness grew bitter in exile and turned to the dark god his order sealed away.
Fecto Elfilis is a being that posses his full mental faculties. It's restored power cam from absorbing their previously seperated conscience and empathy. Fecto Elfilis Choses to be evil. Not even Zero had the ability to make that choice.
Cept Marx tho, little bastard knew what he was doing all along
Technically Magolor wasn’t influenced by the crown until he put it on. It was his choice to proceed.
@@cosmicspacething3474 Yeah Magolor made the choice to put the crown on, but it sort of pulled out his more negative archetypes and transformed him since the crown is more prone to corrupting, like literally half the things in the kirby series haha. Nobody talks about Marx either, who knew full well what he was doing!
(I've have a headcanon that Magolor is a delinquent teenager who while being a very talented mage is also prone to rash decisions, lying, and stealing things, which goes hand in hand with the crown pulling those aspects of his personality out and amplifying them.)
And don't forget Drawcia, she was mistreated her whole life, her author didn't liked her, only having her two sisters to comfort, something happened, she's alone and still categorized as "ugly", she somehow manages to become alive cause of the hatred she has been built her entire life, created a new form that wasn't "ugly" and, ironically, converted Pop Star into a bizarre and beautiful painting. And all of that because no one liked her.
Then there's Marx who was just a jerk that wanted world domination for the hell of it
“So, what’s your recommended method for slaying gods?”
Asura: My fists are enough, all six of them
Clive Rosfield: A good flaming sword will stop nearly anything on its tracks

Something that makes Fecto Elfilis truly scary is that it really has a righteous motivation for lashing out.
It was experimented on, split in two, locked away as it's captors left it to rot.
It already arrived on that planet ready to wipe out all life, but now it has a reason. Now it has motivation. Every ounce of cruelty it enacts is now justified in it's eyes.
good lord. you’re right.
Is this the reason why Elfilis itself and the music makes me nervous a bit??? 🤯😨

Also the shadow from the sun in the background makes it SO much cooler. The vibe this fight had was impeccable.
Love the whole "organized chaos" vibe this song has. The erratic yet controlled rhythm especially makes me think of a very elaborate swordfight/dance, which is fitting for Fecto Elfilis and how it moves around.
It reminds me of void termina in some ways
Organized chaos, controlled chaos if you will. The ultimate life-form. This game really is just what you'd get if you took a copy of Sonic Adventure 2 and threw it into a blender with all 4 modern Kirby games isn't it?

Nothing captures the Kirby final boss tone shift of "Holy shit am I still playing a Kirby game?" like calling your final boss song "Two Planets Approach The Roche Limit", what a badass name for a song.
People normally see ‘world colliding’ as an interesting concept or cool idea…
When it’s this physical it’s… less fun
Makes for a fucking awesome finale though
a planet hitting another planet are much worse than I thought...

I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS
I love how the person singing throughout this song is seemingly the same as the voice telling Elfilis' story at the lab! It's especially obvious in it's final form how that voice has haunted it for the 30 years it was trapped, so having the same voice carry into It's final battle is a really cool touch!
Oh, you're right! I've always thought it was Neichel lol
it's not for 30 years they were trapped, it's 30 years after Elfilis' invasion that ID-F87, Elfilin, came into existence and weakened Elfilis consequentially. The New World inhabitants used this dormancy to study their spacial warping technology and disappeared to nowheresville for an indeterminate amounts of time while they were trapped.
@@collateralmentaldamage tbh I don't remember exactly what happened anymore lol. All I know is that my original comment was what I thought at the time
I thought Elden Ring would be my GOTY.
Then Kirby came outta left field with a masterpiece.
"Literal THING BLOB! Assimilating BEANIE-BABIES into CYAN SL(Wheeeeeeeze)G! Does Elden Ring have Thing-Blobs assimilating Beanie-babies into cyan slag? Didn't think so. >:)"

"Elden Ring prepared me for Kirby."
Why not both
never played elden ring but if it can come anywere close to kirby then its amazing
Chinchilla Sephiroth trying to kill Kirby by crushing him in between two planets, and then getting annihilated by a truck that was using the debris of the planets as a road.
I love Kirby
“Chinchilla Sephiroth” 💀
I can't find the comment anymore, but someone pointed out something that blew my mind when I read it:
"I thought this song felt different from all the other kirby final boss themes until I realized, there's no green greens here"
There is actually Green Greens I believe in the second phase, very tiny snipets, like a guitar riff around 5:12.
It appears very subtle though
Y'know, I was wondering what direction Kirby lore was going to go after unveiling Void Termina, and this game gave us an answer to that.
The question? How the Ancients of Halcandra might have gotten their hyper-advanced technology and ability to travel huge distances with ease.
The answer? "AND HERE WE ARE."
The forgotten land was not the ancients
@@shreddedbagelwabiwabo8342 in truth, we dont know if it is or isnt, as the new world's residente disappeared.
They COULD be the qncients (or at least the ancients predescessors)
But we dont know
@@shreddedbagelwabiwabo8342 it seems to imply the people of the Forgotten World eventually became the technological half of the Ancients as the "world of dreams" mentioned could very well have been an ancient Pop Star. In addition the Ancients' warp technology (as seen in a few things, but primarily the Lor Starcutter) functions extremely similar to Fecto Elfilis's warp abilities and we know the people of the Forgotten World eventually perfectly replicated that power with technology
@@shreddedbagelwabiwabo8342 yet the warp of Lor Starcutter, and Stsr Dream match the stsr shaped portals opened by Elfilis

@@gladoseon4117 what's 1 through 14
Facts.
I like how you could read the name of the song literally, as Popstar and New World collide,
OR metaphorically, as two cosmic beings approach, until the lesser of them (Elfilis if you win, Kirby if you lose) collapses.
(Spoilers for Post-Game below)
OR LITERALLY AGAIN because Chaos Elfilis actually turns into floating debris that orbits around their SOUL form, very similar to an *actual planet* being pulled apart.
Something I also recently noticed is Chaos Elfilis' second phase looks like the moon in the background of the Queen Sectonia fight (first phase) which I'm pretty sure is a reference to Kirby's Adventure
Oh god I didn’t even think about that implication for the true form but it makes so much more sense design-wise now, I always wondered “why is the big bad soul orb being orbited by a dozen smaller orbs” and now I get it

@@darkpulsegirl2654 ah so that’s what it’s called. I thought it was just a synth
You missed a lot-
Also more obvious is timpani, cello, piano and vibraphone.
Less obvious: oboe, bassoon (both start at 4:20 and stop quick) clarinet (4:58 … but it’s quiet and brief.) there was a lot of brief bits like this in moonstruck blossom so it’s cool for them to bring that back somewhat
@@LightlessLunala Oh damn! I didn’t even realize there were so many. I’m not a music expert so I only know the basics, and the basics are pretty cool!
Seriously how does anyone even begin composing a song as complex and as long as this, its so fucking impressive. At times it feels like a clusterfuck of instruments and that in turn makes it seem like it should be a mess, but somehow it sounds beautiful the whole way through and even then you can still hear the Kirby. Its great.
I'll be honest. It's hard to pull off, but with enough experience, it's possible. Once one has an idea of what they want to do, what feeling they want to inspire, and what character/setting/theme they are portraying, it's a matter of finding the right instruments and the rest is a waiting game; this meaning that you just wait on your mind to flow as you build up the melodies, bass, and other accompanying concepts.
Dancing Mad, the final boss theme of Final Fantasy 6, is roughly 17-18 minutes long. I completely agree with you, where does anyone even begin in that process and still come out with a fantastic song?
Its called prog im pretty sure. Alot of final fantasy was influenced from this band called elp. That band is widely considered prog rock. Its a form of music where its often complex and hard to play and takes elements from other genres.
The second phase is sort of a rehash of the first phase but sounding more like a classic Kirby boss theme and less like the boss is walking towards you threateningly with a violin that it just won an interdimensional talent contest with, so it was probably easier to make that.
@@blossomingskies9583 wait, really?!?!
This song is the most majestic kirby boss fight. Superficially it's close to Moonstruck Blossom, but that song is still very tight, and hurried. Roche Limit is floaty, a waltz, and it really reflects how the fight against Elfilis is like a dance to the death with two deft fighters.
It's also far more complex. Have you tried humming out this whole song? It's VERY hard to memorize
Exactly. It's a tightrope dance with death that takes every turn it can and loops around to take the turns it missed, but instead of using the road it puts on a pair of ice skates and dances around gracefully
Hm I didn’t even notice it’s in 3 until you pointed it out but that definitely does add to the urgent feeling
The drums remind me of Void Termina's Core and Soul themes
Something HAL Labs has been really good at recently is creating A.) Songs that don't really loop all that often and B.) Tie in the the leitmotif of the game. Void Termina and Two Planets Approaching the Roche Limit are incredibly intricate songs that tie into the general theme of the game, typically throwing it into the song as a backing track and having it punctuate the ending of a long journey. Honestly they're amazing.
The way this song uses Welcome to the New World/Running Through the New World is honestly fantastic. The brief sting of it at 5:25 before the singer hits the high note gives me chills every time.
Even ignoring the fact they hardly loop, this game was quite a unique case in dynamic music. There are actually *multiple* transitions between phase 1 and 2, depending on what part of the music is playing as the player gets to the transition. I hope to see much more of this from HAL.
Point B) has been applied since Return to dreamland (for example, it is easily recognizable in CROWNED when compared to The Adventure Begins and the Main menu theme)
HAL has consistently shown a level of love for Kirby that I wish other Nintendo games could receive, and I think one of the greatest places that can be seen is the music for basically all Kirby games. The soundtracks for Kirby games have always been great already and yet they continue to improve and impress me. I have grown up with Kirby and for how deceptively simple it seems I have only grown to love it more as I have aged, which is not something I can say for all intellectual properties
I agree and even still, Moonstruck Blossom is my favorite of the final Kirby boss themes (and that is saying a lot. They are all amazing). I didn't really get the connection to the character. Sectonia always seemed like a randomish villain to me... but the track... it just felt like a masterpiece to me. The way it blended 8 bit chiptune effects with vocal or vocalish samples, piano and strings. It just felt like it was more than the sum of its parts. Don't get me wrong, this one is incredible as well, and Void Termina, and CROWNED and every track for the forms of the Robobot final boss, and earlier Kirby games too. They all deserve all the praise they can get... but to me personally, Moonstruck Blossom is in a league of its own...
This entire finale sequence from the Second round with Dedede to the end was absolutely Phenomenal and unreal. Hell the minute I saw it show pop star I was like:Is that popstar… no way NO WAY! ITS PULLING A MAJORA’s MASK ON US!
One of the greatest bosses and a FANTASIC opening to the 3D era of Kirby.
A Majora's Mask? Majora was gonna crash the moon on you, Fecto Elfilis was gonna crash A WHOLE PLANET THROUGH A WARP PORTAL
@@NightmareZerogbs Ok good point. But it was the first thing that popped into my head
possible era
I immediately thought of Majora’s mask too lol
First Kirby, now Splatoon. When you hear English in a game with no real spoken language, you know shit's about to get real
The fact mouthful mode only gets used once in the main fight (not counting the driving sequence at the end), and it's to try and free Elfilin. Something about that moment stirred major emotions in me. I could imagine Kirby yelling "give me my friend back!!!" in that moment, that's what it felt like.
More like "Giffme my fmriemmd bamck!"
GIVE HIM BAAACK
GIIIVE HIM BAAAAACk
still blows my mind that this is the name of a song in Kirby

Kirby's transition to 3D was perfect. My theory is that Hal waited until technology was ready for 3D Kirby.
Edit: Yeah I know that HAL tried it long ago but they thought "Kirby's way too round, you can't tell where he is facing." which is not really an excuse because Kirby has BIG. STUBBY arms. And his feet are ovals.
Hopefully the framerate will be better next time though
They'd been trying, but kept running into certain problems like "Kirby's round, it's tough to tell what way he's facing".
The transition was good
But they definitely didn't have to wait

Easily Top 3 favorite final boss themes
Prior to this game, I held the OSTs of Triple Delux and Planet Robobot as my top favorites of the franchise, with the boss theme for Star Dream and Queen Sectonia as the first and second best of boss themes respectably. Then, along came this game and casually dethroned those two as the best OST and boss theme.
@@extrahistory8956 thats what im sayin bro, all though Sectonia’s theme also kicked ass with the combination if rock, and orchastra
and you are on my top 3 people to kill as soon as I can :)
What are your other 2 favorite boss themes? I don’t know how I’d narrow it down to just 3
I absolutely love it when Elfilis swoops down at super speed after doing the energy spear attack. So elegant and smooth yet so fucking threatening
4:13 is just… music at it’s perfection. I can’t describe just how awesome that part sounds. It makes me feel so powerful. It really nails that feeling of “Everything ends here, it’s you vs. the bad guy, it’s up to you to save the day.” It’s inspiring. Not many pieces of music I’ve heard have made me feel this feeling on such a strong level.

Trivia update: Wikirby's section on Fecto Elfilis has all the official names for their attacks, probably from an official lorebook.
The giant scrap meteor attack's name is, and I kid you not, literally called *"The* *Fermi* *Paradox's* *Answer"* .
Astronomical&biological edge, brought to you by HAL Laboratories.
Edit: Basically, where are all the aliens? Well, Fecto ate ALL of them. Without exception, before getting its ass kicked by the inhabitants of the forgotten land. Every alien civilization we do see might be a descendant of those inhabitants that spread to the stars, every relic a child of their intellect. A sort of genetic bottleneck on a cosmic scale - although bottlenecks usually refer to only a single near-extinction event, not a lengthy, continuous scouring of life done by the likes of Fecto Elfilis.
Before the forgotten land's civilization, the universe was mostly empty, and every message into the universe by any innocent civilization was answered by Fecto's invasion and desolation. It is a great irony that Fecto's power would be the thing to allow the natives to so quickly repopulate that empty void - and an even greater irony, that even those ancients, the survivors of a universal biodisaster, would eventually die out anyway, through some other catastrophe, natural or self-inflicted. (Void Termina? Galacta? Dark matter? The damn crown? A fucking butterfly? All of the above? Who knows🤷)
"Antares Belt", "Rosen Bridge Edge", "Genome Repairs", "Planetarium Dream Tour", and "𝐃𝐄𝐀𝐃𝐋𝐘 𝐒𝐔𝐍 𝐆𝐑𝐀𝐙𝐄𝐑" also goes so unbelievably hard
What paradox is that?
@@BlueToadFan913 According to the brief Wikipedia summary,
The Fermi paradox is the discrepancy between the lack of conclusive evidence of advanced extraterrestrial life compared to the apparently high a priori likelihood of its existence. As a 2015 article put it, "If life is so easy, someone from somewhere must have come calling by now."

There are a few things I want to say about this boss.
1) I'm really glad we got a final boss who wasn't just "Wow, I'm huge, FEAR ME!" What I mean is that we had a character whose power was on full display and he wasn't some massive creature. We can have powerful bosses without making them ginormous.
2) This boss is the first time in a while where Kirby beat the final boss without any sort of final power-up or assistance (not counting the truck, which I consider to be a finisher sequence more than anything). Listing every final boss this far...
_King Dedede: Beat on his own_
Nightmare: Star Rod
Dark Matter Blade: Rainbow Sword
_Marx: Beat on his own_
Zero: Love Love Stick
Zero Two: Ribbon
_Dark Mind: Galaxia (optional)_
_Dark Nebula: Triple Star (optional)_
_Magolor: Super Copy Abilities*_
* Magolor came back for a stronger phase 2, so Kirby technically won without power ups.
Queen Sectonia: Hypernova
Star Dream: Halberd
Void Termina: Star Allies Sparkler
_Fecto Elfilis: Beat on his own_
3) For anyone curious on how this track works in terms of transitioning from Phase 1 to Phase 2, it works like this:
Phase 1 lasts until 3:40, at which it will loop if the player hasn't reached Phase 2 yet. Should the player end Phase 1 at a different point, the track will use 1 of 14 different transitions (Jesus Christ) in order to smoothly switch over to 4:01. So in other words...
0:00 - 3:40 = Phase 1
3:40 - 4:01 = Transition
4:01 onwards = Phase 2
Yin Yarn: Tankbot
Necrodeus: Kirby’s clones
Dark Crafter: Rocket form
I think more accurately the ribbon, was the crystal blaster
@@gamegod4977 I count Necrodeus as him beating it on his own remember each of those kirbys were just a part of his body being split into 10 pieces
@@lightyoshiman That's true, especially considering Kirby was significantly weaker than normal being split apart
or you can try to beat Necrodeus with just one Kirby
4:02 I loooove this bit leading up to the second phase. It lets you know that they’re about to unleash absolute hell on you in order to win. I love this final boss so fucking much
that part reminds me of the transitions in void termina's battle theme
I love how they extended the part leading up to the second phase
I didn't want to trigger the second because I was stuck listening to that part 😂
This boss has quickly become one of my favorites in the series, it encapsulates everything the previous four final battles got right:
Void's imposing and sweeping Humanoid and Winged attacks, as well as basically being a parallel to Chaos Elfilis's final form
The feeling of raw power and control emanating from Star Dream's fight, both even using meteors to attack
The elegance and beauty of Sectonia followed by unhinged chaos in the final phase
The otherworldly background and sorrowful undertones of Magolor Soul
Elfilis is imposing in strength and their attacks are grandiose and terrifying. Yet, they move with elegance, as if performing a dance, only for all hell to break loose as the next phase is gone, and subtlety is replaced with arena-clearing attacks, meteors, and lasers. As the harrowing vocals hit, you remember your friend that was consumed by the overwhelming power. And maybe, unlike past bouts, you can still save him.
Great fight. However I'm afraid everything I stated doesn't matter as there is no Kirby's Triumphant Return or Green Greens leitmotif
thus making it terrible
What will I ever do without my daily dose of nostalgia!
Jokes on you, in the context of forgotten land not being anywhere near Planet Popstar until the very end in which it uses the Invincible Candy leitmotif, it makes perfect sense, making the fight EVEN BETTER!
@@NovelteaJ1228 Good point!
It makes sense tho! We are not in pop star anymore. U can hear the game's leitmotif (the theme of the forgotten land basically, this new world) in this song :)
I love this so much, I always wanted a final boss to not just incite fear, intensity or sadness
but also a sense of wonder! this actually has a few segments that make it feel like you're looking at something amazing rather than something to be feared of.
is it me or some parts of Battle of Blizzard Bridge is in this
That would be because blizzard bridge is one of many many many tracks to use the game’s central leitmotif.
@@MrSailing101 it seemingly references parts that are more unique to Blizzard Bridge
Legitimately, there were a few points in the boss fight where I took damage from something easily avoidable because I was completely mesmerized by the visuals and music.
Blizzard bridge has a few leitmotifs from this I believe
@@utternova5073 that would be because both this and that are the same leitmotif as main theme
The vocals make this song so much cooler. I love that high synthesized female voice that goes into the stratosphere to hit those whistle tones
This game came out two years ago 😭😭😭😭

Oh God I can hear it in the voice lmao
CALL THE KIRBY TRUCK
@GalacticHypernova BUILD THE KIRBY TRUCK
This final boss really unleashed his inner Queen Sectonia. I absolutely love this final boss it felt like the past 3 games rolled into one battle. The surrounding feeling like a planet robobot setting, the music and moveset feeling like Sectonia, and the stakes feeling like the same in Star Allies it felt incredibly awesome the whole way through.
If there’s one thing modern Kirby games does in absolute spades beyond the soundtrack, it’s got to be the final bosses
@@tracemacmillan9718 I stand by that. They dont reuse a final boss or have the same exact one in a later game. Instead they have a new one and incorporate past moves or little remixed moments in the song. For the most part they whip up something new and exciting which is why this is my favorite franchise! 💖
yeah Elfilis was much more on the "Divine Entity" side of kirby as opposed to the "eldritch horror"
@@averypatrick5279 Yeah, Fecto Elfilis is more divine than unsettling.
Fecto Forgo on the other hand…
Star allies felt higher in the actual battle but the finisher move felt bigger here

Raw as hell
And they named a song after that? That's so...... based. Didn't know that HAL has astronomers in their ranks
Man... That's a pretty interesting fact, and makes the name of this song 10x better
@@smiley.77777 1. Wow that's the second time I've eeen you in this soundtrack spitting out bad takes. 2. Something doesn't need to be named exactly the term in order to be named after it. Martin Luther King Jr Street is still named after him despite having street in the name
I was really wondering how they'd do the finale after just beating up monkeys and a bunch of furries and how it would all end up fighting some divine world ender shit
They delivered
They didn’t just deliver, they crushed it with this final boss
@@mrelectrodude9391 One could say it...
Hit like a truck
Fight through furries just to fight Kirby Sephiroth
That has always been the case for Kirby in general. But I guess this was especially true in this game, as it goes from all cute to all dark on a matter of a 1-min elevator ride. Little bit sad Elfilin was not more than just a mere side-character you barely even see outside the hub.
Harder than a delivery truck crashing into Costco
The 10 second trumpet solo at 4:30 is my favourite part of the song. It’s so awesome.
I love the part where the trumpet and the singer meet at 4:53 for the big triumphant high note.
This theme is already so special to me it literally puts a tear to my eye every time
It's even more fitting during the final fight against chaos elfilis's both forms in the Arena Z. Man that second form was an intense fight.
Phase 2 starts at 4:13 for anyone who wants to know
Thanks man!
I don't mean to sound nitpicky, but I revisited the fight to see how exactly the music transitions. I watched the fight on CZcams and then fought him myself just to be sure.
The transition is actually at 3:51.
Edit: Okay, so I may have been wrong. This song has so many transitions in it that I can't make sense of what plays when.
Edit 2: Okay, I actually figured it out; I was partially right. The way it works is this:
Phase 1 lasts until 3:40, at which it will loop if the player hasn't reached Phase 2 yet. Should the player end Phase 1 at a different point, the track will use 1 of 14 different transitions (Jesus Christ) in order to smoothly switch over to 4:01. So in other words...
0:00 - 3:40 = Phase 1
3:40 - 4:01 = Transition
4:01 onwards = Phase 2
@@codename618 They really want use to hear part 2 while the giant meteor covers the stage
4:14 that hype moment when Chaos Elfilis ' 2nd phase tries to charge you with it's fireball attack
It strangely is a hype moment when Kirby is about to be murdered lol
the part at 0:21 is literally *heavenly*, and the fact that it kicks in just a moment after the boss spreads its wings far and reveals its subtitle only adds to it. this being is the ultimate life form, and though that might something to fear, it's just as much something to be in awe of. that whole moment feels like the game giving you a moment to just marvel in the sight of a foe like this before you actually have to fight it
additionally, that feeling of awe persists as the theme continues and develops, and it might make fecto elfilis my favorite kirby final boss. it's powerful, but not some raging beast, and even as it gets desperate, it never seems to lose that elegance. from its first breath to its last, it remains composed and precise with its power
I haven't played forgotten land, but I've seen the final boss fight, and I can agree that is not wrong.
It may have just been me, but I swear when you fight Elfilis, that as soon as you actually gain control of Kirby in the fight, Elfilis just...doesn't move. It only lasts about a second, but that second of time with it backed against the sunset horizon is just enough, as if saying "bask in the presence of this truly magnificent creature" before throwing you into the fray with it.
In forgotten land it says: "species reborn out of chaos"
In star allies we learned that whether positive or negative energy is gathered, Void will rebirth itself in a physical manifistation of that emotion.
I personally like to think that Elfilis is reborn out of so much negative energy that only chaos can pursue thats also why Elfilis is so evil in nature
Fittingly enough for this game's theme of exploring a new world, the quality of this song genuinely feels otherworldly
Looking back on the Fecto Elfilis fight, the way that 4:12 syncs up perfectly with their giant meteor attack is such a sick detail
That section in general is also just incredible at setting the mood, especially with Chaos Elfilis. Another huge highlight of this song for me is 2:07, I absolutely adore how groovy it is, along with the breakdown at 2:32, and the choir at 2:43 is gorgeous
At the end of the day, basically everything about this song is phenomenal (Although I do enjoy VS. Star Dream more), I don't know how Hirokazu Ando manages to consistently create these musical masterpieces
I love this part
you like robogod more than god?!
@@josephkashompa2450 can fecto elfilis grant wishes? (yes i know star dream can't, but nova can, and star dreamis basically a nova)
I love how most of the song is grandiose and epic, and then at 2:07, the song just decides screw it and takes a break to enjoy some smooth jazz, and then goes right back to being grandiose and epic afterward. It feels so random and I love it.
@@Victini7472 actually!
Stardream most likely can and was trying to bring susie back during the countdown
And the errors were because susie was already back
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard… haha, the context of the game makes this better too. You’re fighting an angel of some sort, or at least that’s what the song is saying… in-game, it’s not really an angel, but the song makes it feel like it is.
this fecto forgo entity is a very brand new final boss. i mean. nobody has remark that he has no the regular one eye design of the previous greater scope villains!!!
Oh, come now, magalor doesn’t-… well surely sectonia-… well of course the mother computer star dream couldn’t… well how about void termina? Last I checked it… hmm.
Well yin yarn… dark crafter… king d mind…. Huh.
THIS. The design, plus the complete lack of green greens in this ost - in almost every other track as well, actually - does a great job at emphasizing that this 'Elfilis' is completely unrelated to any previous boss, yet still a force of nature by itself!
@@123890antonioj god this game is incredible
Makes sense, although given that Fecto in any form is a multidimensional being, it makes sense. The forgotten lands may not have ever heard of dark matter to begin with
-You make your way through a fiery lab
-You fight a king
-You go deeper in the lab and fight animal abominations
-Your best friend becomes the ultimate life form
This was just Undertale all along
Yes but unlike Kirby and the forgotten land Undertale is a great game.
While Kirby and the forgotten land is one,if not the best game ever made.
@@mihyroiz_heatlair had us in the first half ngl
the true lab's theme is named "here we are" on the official OST too, food for thought
also Chaos Elfilis has an attack nearly identical to Sans gaster blaster attacks
@@irmatheshepherd2325 true its just with the 3d and almost square arena that's what i thought of when he used that attack

Man, HAL composers out there putting out bangers like this and still NOT NOMINATED in TGA's best music category. The whole award is a scam.
The fact neither Sonic nor Kirby were ever nominated for best music tells me all I need to know about Game Awards.
@@genyakozlov1316 Xenoblade 3 was and SHOULD have won best OST, it blew the competition out of the water so hard this year that they all were launched into the atmosphere.....
...and yet it didn't.
So, of course that award has nothing to do with real objective rating and critics, just an overly glorified popularity award and advertisement show
@@Justforvisit and yet Sony fanboys will still tell fans of games that DESERVED better to go off themselves
@@Justforvisit How did xb3 have a better ost than katfl? are u stupid
I think I have an addiction, I listen to this multiple times per day
Same...
Can’t wait til we get a GaMetal cover of this masterpiece
And here we are!
this is just my personal opinion but i think this is the best final boss song in kirby now. i had to specifically listen to star conquering traveler, the star dream phases, and the sectonia phases again to be sure but yeah. this is my favorite final kirby boss music. it hits my ears and brain just right, i love it. this game is Also my new favorite kirby game in general. kumazaki said in an interview released before the game came out that forgotten land is a "masterpiece" and, uh, i think he's 100% correct.
I honestly agree, this game takes the best from all of the previous modern kirby games, and does every single thing it does right. Literally every level in this game is memorable, and honestly the one thing I wish was different about it is that it was like a world longer. I've seen people complain about the difficulty but (IMO) the whole focus of kirby is on traversing the levels and solving puzzles. Kirby is also an amazing game for self imposed difficulty, I beat the true arena while only using 3 tomatoes and it was insanely rewarding
@@ScripFing of Course people are complaining about the difficulty lolll.... at this point if people are gonna complain about difficulty in a... Kirby game.... they should either find something else to play or simply stop basing a game's worth on its difficulty x'dd i honestly think that the challenge wild mode brings is good, especially with the post game stuff.
anyway sorry to complain to you about that pet peeve of mine!! this game truly is fantastic and i'm very excited for what HAL will do next with kirby, especially if they continue with this 3d platformer route.
@@icicledream EXACTLY. like this game is already incredible and I don't have a single issue with it, other than like maybe the target time challenges for the treasure roads not being needed for 100% completion lmao
It is amazing, but I have some serious nostalgia for the 3DS games. It's at least up there, but I think I still prefer Star Dream's themes, as Planet Robobot determined a lot of my musical tastes, like how I generally prefer electronic instruments. But... well, they wouldn't fit as the lead here.
@@ScripFing the ui popups that you can't skip quickly are annoying
And finding specific treasure roads can be an issue if you forget where it is
And I guess the only other issue with this game is *there isn't enough of it and I want more*
It feels like each time they develop a new Kirby game, they ask themselves “oh… how can we top the last games final boss?”
And I am all in for it ^^
The way I see it, I don’t think anything is going to top this divine and angelic being!
@@tailsfan11westandwithukraine can’t wait for this statement to age well 😂
*And here we are! ID-F86!*
Fun fact: As soon as the buffs shop opened up, I accidently bought a double health bar from it. So I went through half the game with the double health bar, and thank god I did, cuz this fight was the first time I needed it. After the biological abomination I like to call the hallway monster, this is a much needed musical and gameplay break. Love this boss, and love this song.
this is one of the best songs in the whole series
Like plenty of games have ambient choirs and stuff, but this game makes it MEMORABLE
Its ambient but still melodic and powerful and sticks in your head
game: kill slow goo monster that is unbelievably easy
also game 2 seconds later: *destroy the ultimate life-form*
This is standard faire for a Kirbo game
its a thin thacla i think that how its named
That snippet of “The Battle of Blizzard Bridge” at 2:08 gives me so much life.
It’s not just blizzard bridge. It’s the game’s central leitmotif.
@@MrSailing101 I think this man right here is deaf. Welcome to the New World is spammed everywhere in this game's music, almost as prevalent as Green Greens is in past Kirby music. This sequence of 6 bass notes, on the other hand occurs twice, in this and in Blizzard Bridge.
I actually thought that was the very end of Hunted by the Beast.
@@TheRealFraston This game basically uses both Running Through the New World and Welcome to the New World themes as the ‘main’ throughout this game simliar to what it was done in Kirby Planet Robobot as well
Does anyone else get Queen Sectonia and Moonstruck Blossom vibes from the fight or is it just me?
I'd need to check the composer, but if it's Hirokazu Ando, then that wouldn't be surprising.
me too, probably because of the female choir
I feel that vibe here, as well as Void Termina's third phase
Has a bit of sectonia, magolor and void in it............And Elfilis uses all their powers in battle (plus drawsia).
The character may change, but the true final boss is the same fight, taking new moves from each enemy to take up the mantle of SOUL.
out of every game I've played, I would never have expected a kirby game to be the one that has a song to rival dancing mad.
It should’ve been, Kirby games go all out on their soundtracks
There was an entire suite in the last game
respect to another dancing mad fan
Dancing mad enjoyers rise UP
You obviously haven't played kirby triple deluxe
Now this, THIS is how a fucking final boss theme is done.
4:13 I always have the mental image of the boss catching fire and charging you when hearing this
This is the best part
wow this is that kind of music that takes a lot of time to enter in the head. They avoided repeating parts
shoutout to this song for making me cry for no fucking reason other than the fact that its so beautiful
What happened leading up to this fight was a mix of Akira and Earthbound like wtf
It’s awesome to me how this boss and it’s lore are pretty much straight out of a mush of Dark Souls and Final Fantasy, and yet it fits perfectly still in Kirby’s world
*dances in I see similarities to Hollow Knight*
It's kirby alright
@@goddessdeedeebubblesofimag7789 especially when the fight begins and elfilis is floating in front of the sun like the freaking radiance
@@heyimhere5920 When will we get to hit Jenova with a semi?
When the final boss of a kirby game is rocket science.
As usual, you spend the entire game beating up on wild animals only for the final boss to be an ancient eldritch deity bent on universal destruction
I go into every kirby game expecting an incredible final boss theme. My expectations were delightfully met once more.
Mine were exceeded
They really do go all out with the final bosses tbh and I love it!

I don’t know what it is about this song in particular that just puts me in a writing mood. I just focus so much better when I listen to this. This song is single-handedly responsible for me having a passing grade in my writing class.
I'd say it's because it feels pretty empowering, especially in the latter half of the music!
Certainly gets the creative juices flowing.
I used this song to help me get through 11th grade exams, AND IT WORKED WONDERS. My lowest percentage was a 79!

I was expecting a more "down to Earth" final boss since you can't really top Void, but nope: we end up fighting Archangel Gabriel's Fursona...
And I wouldn't have it any other way.
"Archangel Gabriel's Fursona" is an oddly specific way to describe Fecto elfilin, that sounds very accurate. Thank you.
Are you wrong about it being "down to earth" through? Well more "down to Popstar" to be precise.
@@boohawk659 well, certainly more so than void termina lol
Had the weirdest dream last night
So in the dream, I was back in middle school, but it was post-KatFL's release and I was a band kid instead of a choir kid, I played the flute.
And during the dream, when the band teacher was giving us our sheet music for what we were learning to play... it was THIS TRACK.
Cool, in my dream I was going through a cave-like area that kinda reminds me of the Pandora series on VRChat, but then I just suddenly heard Ardyn speaking. Like- he wasn't physically there, but I heard his voice and KNEW it was him because I know what he sounds like. (He's been invading my dreams for the past two months, SEND HELP-)
Your band teacher about to answer the fermi paradox
What a fucking amazing name for a final boss theme
And it fits the context of the battle
Hi. This song is written in a 4:3 polyrhythm. Listen especially at the beginning-you can hear it. If you’re unfamiliar with polyrhythms, listen for the beats dividing each measure into both thirds and quarters (not twelfths, thirds and quarters of the same period of time). It’s kinda awesome.
When you walk to the top of the building, and elfilis is waiting there, silhouetted, casting a massive shadow over the arena.. its so cool.
“Ultimate lifeform? There can only be one of those! His name starts with an S and ends with hadow.”
-Nathaniel Bandy
I love the increased use of choir voices in the game’s climactic moments, it makes everything that much more dramatic awesome.
And of course the song itself is a perfect mix of intense, dramatic, urgent, and a twinge of hopeful, throwing in the game’s main motif in a way that makes it feel like the true, final challenge.
Kirby games always have the best climaxes, and it’s usually the best part about the more recent entries.
The Kirby (and general gaming) finales all have one or more of three things
1: you go to space
2: you fight a god or some other overwhelmingly powerful force
3:the music is either choir-heavy or straight up metal
This boss fight was actually super hard. I only got through it because dragon fire is so OP.
I win in the third attempt using meta knight sword, and it still was hard. In the arena I used the space gun and that, that is op
I used crystal needle after I died like three times it really helped with all the stars it leaves but yeah this boss is still hard as heck even with that.
Ice won it for me
I used space ranger cuz it's flurry rushes are broken
I used Morpho Knight's sword because that heals you slowly, had it not been for that I would've lost, maybe
Who doesn’t love a good song that gives you goosebumps
Kirby power scaling is so fun:
A cute waddle creature
A tree
A Penguin with hammer
A ball with sword
Multi-dementional god representing concepts of universe
The peak of engerneering that can alter reality
Accumulated hatred of antient civilizations with the only purpose of destruction
A cosmic entity shaped like clock
A purple ball but also an eldrich demon with the power of said clock
A pink ball with sword
A butterfly
A pink ball
*a god of death instead of butterfly
Kirby himself really isn’t no surprise considering his past games, but what really riles me up is the fact that bandanna waddle dee also helps Kirby fight these gods in 2-player mode, hence he probably scales to beings like magalor and fecto elfilis
@@tacopizzasandwich621he's more like a support that does chip damage and distracts the godlike bosses, giving kirby some openings of exploit here and there
@@brothdian just the fact that he can dodge their attacks and have the potential to beat them himself given enough time is something to be proud of

Something about the part at 7:19 makes me transcend this mortal plane
Kirby and the Fucking Bangers
3:40 POV: the fight is long and tiring, you do your best but you do so little damage that you feel like it's gonna be a restart, but then the music does a 4:00 and you red eyes meme rise up and get pumped up again.
I just beated the fight in like 2 or 3 minutes xd
This song honestly brings me to tears with emotion sometimes. The battle itself feels like a multilayered dance, each movement loaded with meaning, all culminating as Kirby faces a being showing the power of at least a minor deity. Everything has so much beauty, especially the raw passion shown through Elfilis' attacks
Just like the rest of this OST, this is a banger
