(Final Boss) Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit - Kirby and the Forgotten Land OST [071]

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.

“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 Kratos: I’m partial towards both methods myself Kirby: nah just run them over with an 18-wheeler and you’re set

“You throw another moon at me, and I’m gonna lose it.”

This boss theme hits like a truck.

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"

- being of divine power - wields a spear - detained in the deepest level of a laboratory - enabled humanity to create technology beyond their wildest dreams - coming into contact with its missing counterpart triggers the apocalypse Hal still loves Evangelion.

legitimately did not expect having an astrophysics degree to be relevant to kirby lore, but here we are anyway

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Ah yes, Kirby and the Forgotten Land keeping the tradition strong of enemies consisting of: Puppy Monke Tree Cat God of multidimensional power

Chaos Efilis opening its wings to reveal its title has so much raw unparalleled energy to it. It’s so fluid and threatening. Edit: I have been informed that it’s wings are actually ears.

Instruments used: Electric Bass ✔️ Vocals ✔️ Violin ✔️ Electric Guitar ✔️ Trumpet ✔️ Bells ✔️ Organ ✔️ Drums ✔️ Theremin ✔️ Timpani ✔️ Oboe ✔️ Bassoon ✔️ Viola ✔️ Cello ✔️ Piano ✔️ Vibraphone ✔️ Clarinet ✔️ Yep, this is a banger song indeed

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!

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.

People normally see ‘world colliding’ as an interesting concept or cool idea… When it’s this physical it’s… less fun

I thought Elden Ring would be my GOTY. Then Kirby came outta left field with a masterpiece.

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.
