I guess my big question is just how long this new mode will be. Is it going to be a 60-90 minute relay like Guest Star Mode, but with puzzles or will it be something more expansive?
I'm guessing it'll be another speed run/high score type mode so about 60-90 minutes. We know that you get ranked based on how many friend hearst you find, and there seem to be 30 in total. I'm guessing it'll be something like...
Section 1: Kirby, Waddle Dee, Dedede, Meta Knight, Parallel Whispy [check point]
Section 2: Kirby, Wave 1, Dedede [check point]
Section 3: Kirby, Wave 2, Meta Knight [check point]
Section 4: Kirby, Wave 3, Kracko [check point]
Section 5: The finale.
All the bosses are shown being fought as Kirby so the last part of the section (either as a level or a brief corridor straight to the boss where you can swap in friends) probably relays back to Kirby. Not sure if section 5 will have any relay going on or if it'll just be a brief section to lead to the sisters & maybe hyness or the heart.
I suppose this means Pon & Con (& Grand Mam, but she's kind of forgotten about in general) would be the only one without a Parallel fight, but the trailer seems to show off everything bar what is probably the
true final boss and four sections with four bosses and four waves of dream friends fits pretty nicely with a5th wave to finish everything off. Guest star was also split in 5
Morpho will probably remain in Guest Star, but maybe Galacta sneaks in to the new arena. They teased us with the theme, now show us the full splendor!
