See it here, in all its massive awesomeness.Īnd it's all a distraction, to allow Kirby to get close enough on the Dragoon to take the ship down in one hit.Kirby-wise, let's also not forget the fact that he saved Link, Zelda, Peach, Yoshi, Meta Knight, Ice Climbers, R.O.B, Snake, and Wario SINGLEHANDEDLY from the trophification.Not to mention the battleship itself, which looks like a star destroyer that Took a Level in Badass.Which they blew up a floating island to even use. This Troper creamed himself when the Dragoon sliced cleanly through the Subspace Cannon.Having Played Kirby Air Ride, where the Dragoon was first featured, seeing that craft in all its beauty and power was incredible.

The first thing that came out my friend's mouth when he saw that scene for the first time? "Screw Avatar, that was the most beautiful fucking thing I've ever seen." I'm not about to disagree with him.I was about to say "seconded" but then I realized.Most of the cast in the Subspace Emissary gets at least one moment.Case in point, R.O.B., in his intro scene "Ganondorf Takes Command" (the one where it first lists his name), spends a solid minute on fire, looking perhaps a little sad at worst, then proceeds to blast several flying mooks out of the air with consecutive eye-laser blasts before shaking off the fire. Did I remember to mention that he spent the better portion of the scene on fire? Because he did.

King Dedede is the hero of the entire goddamn story.

Too bad that was a case of Gameplay and Story Segregation.
