Also, while waiting, Kirby will get tired and fall asleep in place, much like he does when remaining idle in other Kirby games. If the player waits long enough without observing any games, the music will shift from Castle Lololo's theme to Cloudy Park's theme from Kirby's Dream Land 2. All statues are represented in an 8-bit form (even though Magolor never previously appeared this way). The gold statues in order are: Kirby, Lololo and Lalala, King Dedede, Meta Knight, and Magolor. Kirby starts out the hall at Kirby's Dream Land, but there is a statue of Kirby himself if the player goes left. The golden statues represent years where little or nothing happened related to the Kirby franchise, instead providing just trivia about the real world (usually related to Nintendo or other technology).

If Kirby attempts to inhale any of the golden statues, he will get tired, similarly to his super inhale from Kirby & The Amazing Mirrorand Kirby: Squeak Squad. These episodes are " Kirby Comes to Cappy Town", " Crusade for the Blade", and " Waddle While You Work". Three episodes of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! can be watched by viewing them on the Kirby history.

Kirby selects a game to view by inhaling its box and swallowing it. If the game is included in the collection (such as Kirby's Dream Land or Kirby Super Star), then there is an option on its menu to play it. An example is if the player selects Kirby Super Star Ultra from the list, Masked Dedede's theme from Revenge of the King will play. When in Kirby's History, when the player selects a game, a track from that game will play. There are numerous statues of characters from the Kirby franchise (Kirby himself, Rick, Coo, Kine, and Waddle Dee) that are standing on pillars. At the end of the "History Hall" is a bright light, which may represent HAL's hopes for Kirby to have a bright future. The games are represented by their box arts. The games span Kirby's Dream Land to the very disc the player is using, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition.

Kirby's History is an interactive calendar documenting the Kirby series history both in the games and in the world. The player may now also play the Smash Combat Chamber EX and Magolor Race EX. This will also unlock the option to watch the ending again via the file select screen. As Kirby nears the end of the walk, the music changes from the 20th anniversary theme to the original ending theme of Kirby's Dream Land, and he is greeted by King Dedede, Meta Knight, Bandana Waddle Dee, and a number of classic enemies from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Magolor leaves Popstar on the Lor Starcutter, but not before giving Kirby a final wave goodbye. Kirby then walks (with Magolor trailing along behind him) through all the levels of Planet Popstar in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and ends in Cookie Country. The player then proceeds to go through these levels:Īfter the player beats Magolor Race 3, the credits start to roll. Magolor states that, to make up for his actions in the previous game, he created an amusement park for Kirby to enjoy. He introduces himself by saying that he's from Another Dimension and that he loves Popstar. He turns around and greets the player directly.


The camera pans slowly down to reveal Magolor typing on the Starcutter's main computer board. The Challenge mode opens in the interior of the Lor Starcutter.
