Lessons Learned / Re-Guesting

Suddenness - Part 1


Ulti's Notes:

The third and final crossover segment of Kirby Adventure begins, and we're once again returning to BattleStarX's Kirby's Dream Adventure comic. They had made significant changes and upgrades to their comic and story in the intervening 3 years between From Dream Adventures and Lessons Learned, so there's gonna be quite a lot to annotate to help get y'all up-to-speed on what's going on.

The characters on display here are all of the ones BSX sent me to use on my end, since we once again did the same kind of format of crossover where we each sent each other characters and worked with them simultaneously. A few of them are returning characters from the original crossover segment.

Kublie and Kubby (orange and brown) were characters who were prominently featured on BSX's end of the first crossover, a pair of girls working as PSSS enforcers who got put on probation prior to the first crossover.
Klooshy (black-yellow) was sent to me, and had his thoughts gimmick and a love of explosions.
Karby (gray) was also sent to me, and is similar to Shadik in that he's strong and silent.

The new characters here are Kruzy (neon green-black) who is Klooshy's friend and essentially an intern working for the PSSS, and is a pathetic aspiring-villain type of character. Kexas (green-white) is a self-obsessed gladiator champion who's only friend is Karby. Lastly, Kimsy (orange-purple) on the far end is a subservient minion of King Dedede.

This meeting had nothing really to do with the crossover itself, and was mostly just BSX's method of getting all the relevant characters in one place. Since they're very loose with their storytelling, it wasn't too hard to come up with excuses for why they'd all be around together.

Last thing to immediately annotate is BSX's original author comment below. By this time in KDA's lifespan, BSX had recently started doing what they called 'Quips' in their comments. Essentially, a sort of white-void Authorsona Zone where they had a variation of their Author Doo character who sort of organized the Comments Section rather than worked on the comic itself. A semi-split personality type of deal, essentially.

After a few quips, BSX (with my permission) wound up bringing in Etam for the quips, to tell extra jokes as the characters in the quips observed both the comic pages and the comments sections, and could interact with both as if watching TV. Etam during all his quip appearances was always written by BSX, and had zero input from myself.

Suddenness - Part 2


Ulti's Notes:

Due to Kirby Mass Attack's use of a large Kirby tank in its Kirby Quest RPG subgame, a reference itself to Kirby's Epic Yarn's large Kirby tank, BSX had started using the Kirby tanks in their own comic. Klooshy, being particularly destructive with a fondness for explosions, was an obvious candidate for owning one.

It is also worth noting, BSX had a daily update schedule for their comic, whereas I attempted to do an every-other-day schedule. Thus, while my end of the crossover had 40 pages, theirs had 80. To compensate, the KDA pages will be paired up in the reading order, followed by one new KA page.

Original Author's Comment:

05/25/14
What's with the super-early update, you ask? Simple, whenever I work in the evening time, I do my comics super-early in the morning so I don't forget about them and have enough energy to do them.

Kirby Tanks are big enough compared to the kirbies themselves, can you imagine a two-story tall one?


I never would have thought, back when I was starting this comic, that I would end up creating such a huge cast list that only continues to grow.


Smack Jeeves Comments Section:

If the Author Doo in the Quips is from the remakes, then he really should only recognize Karby in this bunch.

Woah.



Lessons Learned - Part 1


Ulti's Notes:

One of the key differences about this crossover compared to previous ones were that, akin to the title of this segment, I had learned many lessons by now. There were key aspects to rectify with this final crossover, in my mind, and the biggest one was proper communication.

There was ample discussion between myself and BSX in DMs left unsaved, talking about the characters we'd each want to send each other, and going deep into their personalities. I didn't want another Kaxo situation, so I wrote up an entire document detailing inner personality workings for BSX to reference. BSX did the same for me, and we each used each others' notes to great effect.

If I'm not mistaken, Ryka was one of the characters BSX had an interest in using, thus I threw her in as soon as I could. With a wildcard like her, it wasn't particularly difficult.

Original Author's Comment:

05/25/14
New segment time! This one will be interesting for sure.

A lot of people thought that we wouldn't be seeing the shenanigans that the Squad got up to when Kirby doing Mass Attack. Not sure why, but here's proof that we indeed will be seeing what happens when the leader is away.


Also, I'm back from that break, and have been for a little over a week now. I admittedly was pretty lazy for a little bit and really haven't done that much in terms of comics. I've been moreso focusing on my next Let's Play, as it's requiring quite a bit of work. That should be starting up soon.

Ulti's Notes:

BattleStarX liked to do things a bit abrupt sometimes.

The names mentioned in panel 2 aren't really relevant or important, so don't worry about them. Aside from the fact that Kaaby was the blue, hands-on character from the first crossover.

Ulti's Notes:

Ku-ie was once known as Kuxxel, and was the PSSS boss from BSX's end of the first crossover. She had a name change in-universe between crossovers, as well as quit her job as PSSS head to work with Keeby's Gang instead, albeit reluctantly.

Lessons Learned - Part 2


Ulti's Notes:

Shat'l being psychic allowed me to have a small bit of fun with him suddenly realizing what was about to happen, and just calmly letting it happen.
Of course, then there's the question of why it took him this long to realize what was about to happen, but it's not as if I ever really mapped out all of the specifics of how his psychic powers worked (aka, they just did whatever I needed them to in the moment).

Original Author's Comment:

05/28/14
Surprise! This segment is actually a crossover segment between Kirby Adventure and Kirby's Dream Adventure! To get the full story, you're gonna want to read both comics for a little bit if you don't already. Man, it's been a long time since I said that.


For those curious as to how this will work, BSX will keep up his daily updating schedule whereas I'll be updating every other day.


Also, this was the real reason why I didn't update Kirby Adventure immediately after my APs were done. Sure, I did have to work on my new Let's Play and stuff, but that wasn't actually the main reason. It made for a good excuse, though!

I feel like I had something else to say here, but I can't think of it right now. Ah well.

Suddenness - Part 5


Ulti's Notes:

Caiya and Kaxo, of course, were the two members of this KA group who also went to the KDA dimension in the first crossover.

BSX's format had him consider the different fonts of our comics to be different accents, and had the characters speak in different fonts accordingly during this crossover. So all of BSX's characters keep their Stoobs font, while my characters speak in Tahoma. I try to do the reverse of this myself in my own pages, but immediately reverted it after it was mostly-illegible in my style.

Original Author's Comment:

05/28/14
Squish Count + 1

Great, now I'm gonna have to get rid of that tree.



By the way, if you haven't guessed yet (and how I don't know,) my second crossover is once again with Ultimate Yoshi's Kirby Adventure. Make sure to pop over to his side to get both sides of the story, as we're doing the same thing as we did last time.

However, this time, EVERYONE WILL BE THEIR PROPER COLORS! HOO-RAY!

Lessons Learned - Part 3




Original Author's Comment:

05/19/14
This is the only proper way to give Kexas and Kublie their entrance into the Kirby Adventure dimension.

You may have noticed that I'm going with the BattleStarX route when it comes to the text font: I'll be using his font of Stoobs for the KDA characters, similar to how he's using my font of Tahoma for my characters. Though, Stoobs looks a bit choppy with anti-alias, but I also can't fix that without making it the biggest hassle in the history of hassles. That's exaggeration, but whatever, it's what it would feel like.


I almost forgot to put Kimsy (the orange/purple Kirby in the water in the last panel) in this comic entirely, up until that last panel. This is what led to her falling into the water off-screen and trying to climb back out. It was the best quick-fix I could think of, and I'm too lazy to go back into completed panels. Yeah.

Luigi_96

I do hope you'll be using anti-aliasing in the future pages because text just needs it sometimes such as right here.

The original version of this page had BSX's Stoobs font for his characters, but basically everybody told me how bad it was to read. I immediately changed their fonts to my regular Tahoma in subsequent comics, but this page remained a negative outlier until right now.



Suddenness - Part 7


Ulti's Notes:

You may recall when I used the KDA Kirby in the first crossover that this was his signature style of greeting characters. Here, it allows Shat'l to recognize him.

Original Author's Comment:

05/30/14
In case you forgot, the two-story kirby tank is still just off screen. And Kirby's actually met Shat'l before.

Suddenness - Part 8


Ulti's Notes:

As a reminder, Klooshy's two-tiered Kirby tank has been sitting off-screen to the left for this entire scene. Keito and Ryka elected to mess around with it, but the lack of visuals can make it easy to forget what's actually going on there.

Lessons Learned - Part 4


Ulti's Notes:

Kexas is not only a world-renowned fighter and gladiator in the KDA universe, but is an extremely feared opponent who uses her strength for maximum intimidation factor. Thus, nobody ever really argues with her, because even if she's wrong, she has the physical prowess to make it not matter, and also lacks the ability to understand ethical or societal implications of fighting people to get what she wants.

Thus, if the KDA cast have to pick someone to defer to, or at least this group of characters who don't have a natural leader among them, well, looking to Kexas is simply the safe survival strategy more than anything else. And considering what I wanted to do in this segment, establishing early on that Kexas was intimidating was important.

Original Author's Comment:

06/02/14
Sorry about the late update. Mario Kart 8 happened.


I decided that using the Stoobs font was a poor idea since I don't use aliased text, and some of you guys complained about having a hard time reading it. So, Tahoma all the way.

Kexas may not be an actual leader, but she sure has the strength to back up anything she says.

Neither are really stupid. Caiya just suffers from multiple personality syndrome, while Kirby is just less mature. Both can be quite smart, and seem smarter than a lot of kirbies simply because nobody expects them to say those sort of things.

Lessons Learned - Part 5


Ulti's Notes:

A few things to mention here:
Karby, on the far left, is still the strong silent type. One regret from the very first crossover was how little he wound up being used, so my first order of business with him was involving him more. To that extent, pairing him with his closest-KA equivalent in Shadik was a no-brainer.

In the KDA comics, characters would often wind up standing atop each other, and the flexibility of most Kirby characters and species would mean that they would simply get squished. This became so prevalent in KDA that BSX even started running a Squish Counter at times. Kublie, the orange girl here, was one of the most frequent characters who would squish others, thus this was a theme I also wanted to roll with and utilize. It's a good method of making sure the characters from another comic really feel like themselves when I use them.

Lastly, my use of him in the previous crossover led BSX to give Klooshy a love of explosives, since I had him and Raize set off some fireworks. Since Klooshy was still also a medic-in-training, this led BSX to have Klooshy offhandedly mention creating 'healing bombs'. They never got depicted on-screen before, but I decided to give it a shot, since I was the one who inadvertedly led to their creation to begin with.

Original Author's Comment:

06/02/14
I looked high and low to see if Klooshy's "healing bombs" ever actually physically appeared in KDA or CDDDN, but I found nothing but a single mention of them. Thus, I made up the colors of the bomb and made it blue. Because blue is healing, apparently. Not that it makes a difference to Saia.


Smack Jeeves Comments Section:

BattleStarX
06/02/14
Ah, the joy of healing bombs. I will actually have to work those in one day.

guestuser
06/05/14
@Luigi_96: if Kaxo is capable and his power works, he will burn kirby or light him on fire



Portal Malfunction - Part 1


Ulti's Notes:

Much like in the first crossover, BattleStarX wrote his in multiple segments, so here began the second of several segments on his side.

Kaxo mentioning Saia's birthday was something I specifically requested BSX find a way to write in somewhere, since I was still trying to set up for a massively important segment occurring there (which mostly never came to fruition).

Keeby's Flight Star is based on the Flight Warp Star from Kirby Air Ride, a prototype Warp Star with enhanced flying capabilities. In this comic, though, the only one who's able to use the Warp Star in general is Kirby, so this version of the Flight Star is a copycat version that is less functional than the original, but is at the very least usable by others who aren't Kirby.

Lessons Learned - Part 6


Ulti's Notes:

The opening of my end of the crossover was intentionally cramped, because Saia was overwhelmed and she was one of the main leads and audience surrogates intended for this segment.

I didn't want to overwhelm for too long, though, so I quickly began separating out the group over the next few pages, to make for smaller groups I could tell different mini-stories with. This was my method of solving the issues of both previous crossovers, where things were either randomly eclectic, or some characters got introduced too late to make an impact.

By formatting the segment into about 4 groups, with KDA and KA characters in each, everything became immensely manageable. It was relatively fewer scenes to keep track of, and the groupings meant that no character truly got left out of everything. Overall, it was the best handling I did of utilizing crossover characters.

Original Author's Comment:

06/04/14
Kruzy speaks his first lines! In case you're confused, he likes to sound evil via a creepy-sounding black text bubble, but it seems Vezo was too confused to really be fazed by it.

Vezo's confused, also, because he doesn't recognize anyone yet. Klooshy and Karby got sent to KA when Vezo visited KDA, and Kexas and Kruzy didn't exist in KDA at that time. Kubby and Kublie, on the other hand, that'll be an interesting reunion...

According to a Google search, an average pancake weighs in at around 59 Grams. A million pancakes would therefore weigh about 59,000,000 Grams, and therefore, according to a converter I found...

A million pancakes would weigh approximately 130,072 pounds.

You're welcome.


Ybrik Etamitlu
06/06/14
I weigh the same as a million pancakes, but only land with the force of a thousand of 'em. Why? The rest of my weight gets turned into taco jelly and dumped on a random bystander. Off a large building. By a talking ocelot with an abnormally large left wing. Even though ocelots don't even have wings normally. That's why it's abnormal, you dig?


Omega Kirby

@Ybrik Etamitlu: Precisely!

But what happens to the excess taco jelly that cannot fit into any ocelot wings?

Kruzy, the green and black Kirby, has a gimmick where he tries to freak people out using an evil-sounding voice. BSX depicts that with an inverted speech bubble, as seen here, but the character can also speak normally.

And now we know the groups they've all been split up into! AND now that Fanhal has been revealed to be participating in this segment, I've put up the segment select button, which you probably already noticed.

Portal Malfunction - Part 4


Ulti's Notes:

Kible and Teelzy are two of Keeby's closest friends in KDA. Kible is a medic, and this location in the comic is the hospital she helps at. Kurie is the owner of the hospital, as her name would imply.

I don't think Teelzy really comes up in the rest of the comic, so they aren't relevant, but that at least explains the most basic element of who they are.

Original Author's Comment:

Portal Malfunction - Part 5


Ulti's Notes:

After Master of Puppets, like I mentioned in annotations there, I essentially permanently loaned Master Green to BSX for them to use in KDA. After being trapped in a void but using his broken wand to create one last portal, Green was able to escape the void and wound up here.

I don't have the individual pages of Green's involvement in KDA, since he became integrated into the comic fairly seamlessly, but I can at least say what happened to him. He decided to turn over a new leaf and utilize his magic knowledge and lots of arms to help out around the KDA-verse, which led to him being hired at Kurie's hospital.

Other characters vaguely understood that Green came from a different world, especially since he speaks with Tahoma (and thus, to them, sounds Weird), which was why when Keeby ran into this latest batch of dimensional travelers, Keeby led Shat'l to Green in order to help get some answers and clarification.

All this to say, this is what Kible is referring to when Keeby asked her for "the jelly". As well as why Shat'l feels a familiar presence nearby.

Original Author's Comment:

I'm not sure Shat'l would ever WANT to get into Keeby or Kuxxel's head.

Lessons Learned - Part 8


Ulti's Notes:

Vezo interacted with Kubby and Kublie on BSX's end of the crossover, but most of it was off-screen. Since BSX had a time jump between when the KAS got Dyna Blade to vomit up her victim, and when Shadik's powers were restored by the Author Doo in order to send them home, the KAS members were staying with the PSSS during that period of time between.

Thus, even if it wasn't visibly depicted on-screen, there was a heavy implication that those 5 members of the KAS spent at least a small chunk of time getting to know the PSSS members. Thus, Vezo knowing Kubby and Kublie makes sense, and gets a bit more elaborated upon in more bits of dialogue that I gave them, too.

Original Author's Comment:

06/08/14
Why did I decide to make Kublie's latest victim a Squishy? Think about it.

Ulti's Notes:

Now that the groups were split up and identified, the next important part was establishing for unfamiliar audiences (aka all of you guys reading this now in 2024 onwards) who these newcomers were. Thus, Saia and Kexas interacting meant I needed to quickly put on display the type of character Kexas was.

Original Author's Comment:

Ulti's Notes:

There was a large multi-segment arc in Kirby's Dream Adventure between the crossovers where there was a massive Dark Matter invasion. It was BSX's attempt at a more serious story to tell, and it turned out pretty well from my memory. It doesn't have much relevance here aside from comparing the relative goofiness of most recent KA segments and the surprisingly plot-heavy KDA adventure.

Ulti's Notes:

The only use I tended to have for KAS Division B characters was as generic Extras. This is the most relevance Pyra got to have in this entire comic: getting whacked with a fish.

On the plus side, I didn't have to bother trying to introduce them, per se, so it works out far better here to have them be the set-up for a joke rather than an attempt at introducing stuff into the world. I'm far better equipped for the crossover this time than I was last time.

Lessons Learned - Part 11


Ulti's Notes:

Kimsy was, of all the KDA characters, the one who I had the least to do with. She wasn't a character I was hugely interested in, relatively, so when I received her from BSX, I wasn't entirely sure what to do at first.

I wound up deciding on making her a victim, since she's constantly pathetic and a suck-up in her home comic. Using her, I was able to give Shadik and Karby a mission to go on, which is Kirby Adventure's bread and butter style of writing.

To that front, I thought the most fun thing to do with Kimsy would be to have her fall victim to this world's Castle Dedede. Since there's no Kirby who works for Dedede in this universe, Bandana Waddle Dee and this Waddle Doo have no idea what to expect, and of course, Bandy's utter goofiness led to some wacky shenanigans.

Ulti's Notes:

Similar to how I split up my Kirby characters into 4 to 5 groups, BSX split up theirs into 3 groups. For someone who proclaimed to love chaos, they definitely learned how to organize their storytelling better by the time of this crossover, too. It's far more structured than the previous one, which is to its benefit.

Lessons Learned - Part 13


Ulti's Notes:

In the previous comic with these characters, I needed something to have stopped Kublie and Kubby such that Vezo could catch up to them. Since Kublie's whole thing is squishing others, I decided to have her do so to a random creature, and when looking through the sprite sheets available for enemies, it made too much sense to have her squish the Squishy enemy.

Between that comic and this one, I remembered that Kublie calls herself the Queen of Squish in KDA, and that led to the incredible revelation that I could cause even more chaos.

Vezo saying that Kublie torched his room at the PSSS was a reference to a line from BSX's end of the crossover, where KA Kirby mentions to Ku-ie/Kuxxel that Kaxo and Kublie burned a room down. BSX never gave a reason for why that occurred, so I filled in the blanks by having it be some sort of prank gone wrong on the pyromaniacs' part.

Original Author's Comment:

06/18/14
I wonder if anybody saw this coming.

This is what Vezo is referencing in panel 1. Hey, BattleStarX never specifically wrote in WHY they torched the room.

Portal Malfunction - Part 16


Ulti's Notes:

Considering Shat'l's entire existence came from BSX trying and failing to make a white-colored Kirby, to which I tried to make one myself for them to use, it feels fitting that the white Kirby sprite sheet that became Shat'l winds up meeting the actual white-colored Kirby BSX would wind up creating for KDA.

Lessons Learned - Part 15


Ulti's Notes:

Kruzy had previously displayed a power of some kind that allowed to him to walk on the ceiling. It was entirely unexplained and used solely for comedic effect in KDA.

It made too much sense for the power to get questioned by a KA character though, but I knew that I shouldn't actually answer what was going on, so I tried to be vague with the explanation here by just saying it was something to do with their feet.

This, unfortunately, failed a bit, and BSX wound up rolling with the explanation in full, which wasn't really my intention. In fact, I had hoped to keep it unexplained as best I could, such that it could retain its mystique and charm as something that really only existed for comedy. Alas, it didn't quite work out, and this is admittedly probably my main regret with this crossover, even if it's a small one.

Finding the Pieces - Part 4


Ulti's Notes:

I had to do a bit of explaining in the comments after this page, to clarify an important thing for BSX: The character of Not-Kaxo was only named that from a meta, out-of-universe angle. In-universe, none of the Master of Puppets clones got given separate names from their original counterparts, so the name 'Not-Kaxo' didn't actually exist.

Thus, as you'll see in the next page, this allowed for a slight course-correction retcon pretty quickly. The coordination wasn't perfect during this crossover, but it was still leagues better than before, at least.

Original Author's Comment:

06/23/14
As you have no doubt noticed, I've been given the whole crossover characters a lot better and balanced amount of screen time. That's one thing I felt I didn't do too well the last time I had UY's characters over here.

Lessons Learned - Part 17




Ulti's Notes:

This is, I think, technically use of the 'Worf Effect' trope? The thing where, in order to show how much of a threat a character is, they beat a more well-known character in a fight.

It's only technically since I had yet to really truly show Aika being combat-capable on-screen, but I at least insinuated a lot of her skill through other characters' dialogue over the years. Enough that this still probably felt a little bit surprising for people who didn't know Kexas's strength.

Sapar: but way earlier in the comic Saia had used her umbrella a few times, once was taking out Talzo in one hit.


Sapar
06/27/14
littlekirby61524: That wasn't my point. Trading Crash for Parasol would, in actuality, be a downgrade. ie Kexas would probably be WORSE off with the Parasol ability than without it.

However, if Saia were to physically GIVE Kexas the parasol, instead of the Parasol ABILITY...... THEN I could see your logic.

Lessons Learned - Part 18




Ulti's Notes:

When I was asking for KDA characters to use, I actually initially prompted BSX with a proposition about Kexas in particular. While I had a few other characters I thought I'd enjoy using (namely Kubby and Kublie), Kexas was the main catalyst behind the crossover, with the ideas I had for her.

With BSX's permission and go-ahead, I basically tasked myself with developing Kexas as a character, because of how I perceived the character and what would prevent her from growing or evolving.

Essentially, Kexas was a massive powerhouse who had a frightening reputation, and not a single character in KDA was willing to truly go up against her. The only ones who might be capable of it, Kirby and Keeby, would either not be emotionally intelligent enough to worry about it, or just flat-out not care, respectively.

Thus, despite how much of a fan favorite character Kexas was in KDA, she was also extremely stagnant and one-note. I wanted to see her evolve, something BSX wasn't against the idea of, but I didn't see an immediate way that any outside force could get Kexas to change, or understand that she COULD change.

But that was just within the confines of KDA itself. With the potential of a crossover, I could pit Kexas against another character who DOESN'T know her reputation. By using Saia, I was able to pair Kexas up with a character who would be strong enough to at least get Kexas to Try in combat, and also someone who would actually care about Kexas's behavior.

Was it a bit silly to use the crossover to evolve a character who wasn't even my own? Perhaps a tad, and I can certainly see why it might be awkward for those not in the know, but I was also able to not make it the sole focus of the crossover and provide plenty of other material to sink one's teeth into, so I don't particularly regret this direction either.

Either way, the point is, the whole arguments and Saia being overwhelmed during this segment was all intentionally leading up to a fight between these two.

Lessons Learned - Part 19


Ulti's Notes:

None of this is canon by any means, but it's a bit of a cheerfully dark headcanon to adopt. All that food has to come from somewhere, and when both flora and fauna are sentient AND there are meat and veggie dishes everywhere, it can lead to MatPat-esque theories, that's for sure.

I played it off for laughs, but it IS a rather dark implication if you stop and consider it.

Alternatively, you can also play into the whole 'creatures respawn moments later' vibe, and say that anything that gets cooked and eaten also simultaneously survives without a scratch. Video game logic is weird, wonky, and a little bit silly. Don't read too much into it, is the point.

I mostly just did this because it was funny in the moment.

Finding the Pieces - Part 12


Ulti's Notes:

Teelzy is intentionally an inverted-colored Kirby, with white outlines and all that jazz. However, her inversion normally has her appearing pink, whereas here she's off-colored and multi-colored as a result of some sort of sickness. I don't recall what the illness was, or if it was actually relevant, but it definitely wasn't particularly relevant to the crossover itself, just something to occupy time more-or-less.

Original Author's Comment:

07/01/14
Now she's REALLY off-color.

I've been enjoying having UY's kirbies over more this time than the last one. Maybe because I've planned this segment out in a more relaxed way. Maybe because I'm not pulling my beard out trying to recolor them properly. Who knows.

Lessons Learned - Part 20


Ulti's Notes:

This is, to date, still one of my all-time favorite Kirby Adventure comics. It's especially funny to me if you recall that Kimsy works for King Dedede and his Waddle Dees, and doesn't quite know that she's in another dimension right now and dealing with a different Castle Dedede.

The first panel is a nod to the Kirby anime, where King Dedede tapes a picture of Kirby over an ingredient called Zebon and gets Chef Kawasaki to think that he needs to cook Kirby in order to make a delicious meal. The ruse eventually gets discovered and Kirby doesn't get cooked. Since this mini-story was about Bandy trying to cook a Kirby, it felt like a silly little reference I could slide in.

Finding the Pieces - Part 14


Ulti's Notes:

This particular background was previously used by myself as part of Castle Dedede, since that's where it's used in the original Kirby Super Star Ultra game. Since BSX repurposed for Mirror Kirby's new home (since Kaxo burned his first cavern home down in the first crossover), Caiya's confusion was warranted and a cheeky reference to the different usages of the same background.

Finding the Pieces - Part 15


Ulti's Notes:

I don't admittedly recall who this white/orange Kirby is, but presumably they're a medic. They don't reappear after this page, though, so knowing who they are isn't immensely relevant.

BSX also didn't actually follow through on this line of thought, for some reason, which was an odd choice. Whatever was medically wrong with Teelzy never gets addressed, at least within the crossover itself. It might've gotten brought up afterwards, but I don't remember since it's been ten years since this.

Lessons Learned - Part 22


Ulti's Notes:

I don't remember the EXACT set of words it stands for, but an "HSSD" is a hammerspace device (and may stand for HammerSpace Storage Device or something). Basically, think of it like a technology-induced Bag of Holding from D&D. You can carry things around of any size or shape, in an invisible and infinite endless space that can store an immense buttload of stuff.

It was an invention of BSX, specifically used by the PSSS and its agents. Since Kruzy here is a probationary agent from the PSSS, he knows about them, but Klooshy never worked for that group, so I came up with the explanation that he bought one from one of the PSSS agents (the mentioned Kippy). This was completely made up by me, but it fits pretty neatly into everything BSX had already shown off, so... hey, it worked.

Also friendly reminder that Fanhal has the Bomb Stored Ability.

These are the aforementioned twins mentioned a few pages ago. They normally only speak in BSX's Poyoese language, like Kaaby the blue Kirby does. Shat'l is once again translating their dialogue to be readable for the first time here.

They're basically cookie-obsessed children. That's about all you need to know, especially since they once again only show up in this page. BSX's end of the crossover was a tad eclectic like that, with characters of theirs just showing up very briefly.

BSX's use of the different text fonts does make it easier to tell which characters are which, I must admit. Having Kaxo and Korby standing side-by-side can be a bit confusing, and I'm not even colorblind like BSX is.

Lessons Learned - Part 23


Ulti's Notes:

In Kirby's Dream Adventure, Kexas used this edited sprite to depict a sinister, confident smirk. It became her signature smile, often used whenever she was showing off. While using her in the crossover, it was a clearly obvious aspect of her that I would use, at least to anyone who knew anything about Kexas and KDA.

However, I didn't want to overuse it either, because the temptation to do so can be quite strong when trying to use a character you're less familiar with. Being conservative can be key, so I elected to only use her signature smile once, to have it have greater effect. At least, for those who liked the character and knew her from KDA.

For anyone else, aka 99.9% of people reading this here and now? It's just a regular smirk that probably surprises you to have this much annotated attention on it. But hey, that's how you know it was naturally woven in, that it doesn't really stand out unless you know what it represents. Personally, I think more writing could stand to be like that sometimes.

Recharging the Batteries - Part 4


Ulti's Notes:

I'm not ENTIRELY sure what the deal is with the next few KDA pages, but it seems as though BSX was going through a visual rework and having to iron out kinks of a new program or new update of some kind. Mainly, the text bubbles wind up being quite different for a few pages.

The eventual resulting text bubbles ARE a definite improvement, mainly because the extended tails allow them to be placed around panels better and not feel quite as cramped or taking up important room in a panel, so it's a win for clarity. It just means that for a few pages, the speech bubbles go through a few iterations.

Anyways, Magic Kirby is an ability only seen in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Kirby Squeak Squad, neither of which shares the same art style as Kirby Super Star Ultra. You saw this with Ignis Unis in Jetting Across the Ice, where the character was just smaller. BSX decided that they wanted to use Magic as one of Kirby's many powers he could tap into in KDA, and just decided to shrug off the fact that Kirby would shrink every time he used it.

"Being punched into the future" was a gag from BSX, where I believe it was something that Kexas at the very least threatened to do to some of her subordinates in the Arena.

Recharging the Batteries - Part 6


Ulti's Notes:

This is the most notable of BSX's speech bubble experimentation, mainly because the jagged, lightning-bolt bubble tails give off an impression that every character is shouting. Visual clarity and shorthand is important, and comics have long since used spikier speech bubbles and tails to represent raised voices or shouts! So it's fascinating to see how the unintended use of something can wind up creating an entirely different impression, simply because of how brains have been conditioned to read it.

Certainly, there's nothing objectively saying spikier bubbles or speech tails should indicate raised voice... similar to how TYPING IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO INDICATE SHOUTING, ESPECIALLY SINCE A LOT OF PROFESSIONAL COMICS TEND TO BE WRITTEN IN ALL UPPER-CASE FOR EASIER ACCESSIBILITY. And yet! Prior conditioning still has an impact on expectations and mental understandings! That's your comic creation lesson for the day.

Anyway, this is the only page where these spiky tails appear. BSX fixes it by the next page.

Apparently you didn't get my email, or I didn't send it correctly, or something. Anyway, here goes:

My cameo is Vim. He's a Halcandran artificial intelligence (Halcandran as in Halcandra from KRtDL).
I have no sprites for him, but I've got an idea for a sprite you could (theoretically) easily make: one of the glowing sphere things from the Normal Beam (the move that dismisses Helpers) with the crosshairs thing that shows up when you scan an enemy with Copy on top of it. The sphere part changes color to show emotion.
He's easily confused, but doesn't easily get angry. When he does, however, he shoots lasers.
Also, he's a hologram, which means he can pass through solid objects and teleport.

Please reply via email if you need any clarification.

Thanks very much again!

Lessons Learned - Part 25


Ulti's Notes:

Like a lot of other characters in KDA, Kexas is able to tap into a copy ability when she so desires. Except unlike most other characters, the ability SHE has access to is the Crash power, which in the games is a rare screen-nuke power that instantly kills any lesser enemy and deals massive explosive energy to bosses.

Her tapping into it here was more emotionally charged than she normally gets, since this was the start of the pages where I aimed to explore Kexas's character a bit deeper. Saia has no idea of Kexas's background, like most current readers, so it's easy to assume she's just a dick. However, Kexas basically has dealt with privilege all her life from her skills and life position.

I thought it was painfully fascinating to consider the implications that Kexas just truly couldn't be taught to be a better person, because nobody was brave enough to tell her 'no', but this also led to her leading a very stagnant and unfulfilling life. She had been constantly depicted as enjoying being a fighter, but to date, the only character willing to even TRY to befriend her was Karby, the gray silent Kirby.

So to me, I couldn't help but consider Kexas as painfully lonely... but without even quite realizing that she WAS lonely. My goal here with the character was to simply put her in a position where she could actually realize that maybe her life isn't all roses, and that being feared might not be the respect she actually wants from people. And to do that, I utilized Saia's very caring and discerning nature to bring it out of her for the first time.

Using the opportunity to also display Saia as a more competent fighter than one might expect was a nice bonus to everything, too. One might assume that Kexas as a seasoned gladiator would wipe the floor with Saia, but her defensive fighting style actually showed her as much more capable, which I enjoyed course-correcting for Saia. She hadn't always been shown off as the most competent at times, which wasn't what I wanted.

Original Author's Comment:

Karby isn't quite like Shadik, or Gigi19972010's Grace the Bomb Kirby. Karby HAD been shown speaking, very rarely, so for Karby, it was an intentional choice to never speak.

However, it was still rare enough that I wasn't 100% sure this was a good joke to make. So, before finalizing it, I pitched the idea to BSX, who signed off on it with full approval. I'm glad they did, because it's a good joke.

Though, in retrospect, I'm not entirely sure on the Waddle Doo being so confused. It gives me a sort of Marvel-esque vibe of acknowledging the joke a bit too much? Whereas if it was just Bandy being super nonchalant about it, I think it might've been funnier.

Sapar: Honestly, I've legitimately thought about it, but I don't want to erase my brothers' file on that game, nor do I think it's worth buying a second time just to do a Let's Play of it. (I also can't just make/use a second save file, the game only allows for one)

Green Kirby the Leaft: Karby is indeed the strong silent type like Shadik. Though the difference is, he can actually talk, just chooses not to.

And not counting the now-deleted line, this is actually Karby's third sentence. Though I'm not sure one word counts as much of a sentence.

Ulti's Notes:

It feels kinda weird to criticize old pages that weren't made by me, but I can't completely hold my tongue here in terms of how awkward some of these pages by BSX were in retrospect. I really don't see what was gained by having this Kimmal character flop onto the floor, glare at everybody silently, and then leave.

@BattleStarX: Wait, the dub didn't even get through the whole series? Dang... Even the Kirby anime had all 100 episodes dubbed (though with some bizarre reordering, like putting the first two parts of the five-part finale at the halfway point of the series to more easily promote Kirby Air Ride, which admittedly WAS the purpose of those episodes, but still, it made a lot of things in the last three episodes to not make much sense)...

Lessons Learned - Part 28


Ulti's Notes:

This honestly wasn't planned at all, but sometimes my completely wild and unrelated ideas have just enough of a sensible throughline that I can seamlessly integrate them and make it appear intentional all along.

One aspect of the crossover I did quite love was how in-sync I had Shadik and Karby. The previous time two silent characters interacted, with Shadik and Grace, they didn't really spend much time together aside from the one silly "silent conversation" page. Here, though, this pairing was able to work together incredibly well, and it was a lot of fun to have them teamed up like this.

I've got some catching up to do, don't I? Sorry about missing some of the update days, I've either been a bit busy or lacked motivation. I'll just update a few days daily to get back to where I should be.


This comic was a bit rushed, though, hence the much-more-copy-and-paste-feel of the Squishy army, especially in that last panel. I just wanted to get a comic out today so that I didn't have even more work to catch up on.

Going Home - Part 1


Ulti's Notes:

Kaxo acting like a regular old Pokémon rival here.

The power Kirby brings out in the last panel is the Water ability, a power formally introduced in Kirby's Return to Dream Land in 2011 on the Wii. Since Super Star Ultra came out before that in 2008, it not only didn't have ANY sprites associated with it (and thus BSX resorted to using fan-made custom sprites for it), but it explained Kaxo's sheer confusion. The KA timeline is only up to 2010's Epic Yarn and 2011's Mass Attack (which released before RtDL in 2011), so he's never seen any of RtDL's new abilities before.

I find it amusing that BSX had so many characters in their KDA cast that nobody even noticed that any of the characters I got sent were missing. I don't think it's necessarily a self-diss against how expansive BSX's cast was, but moreso a credit to how many different factions and groups there were that everything was still able to function relatively normally within this universe that a few missing cogs weren't mandatory to keep things running smoothly, so to speak.

Lessons Learned - Part 30


Ulti's Notes:

The biggest thing I wanted to avoid when aiming to give Kexas development was to actually develop her. I didn't want to feel like I was writing the character too much. So what I elected to do instead was to simply plant the seeds for BSX to give her growth instead. I instigated the circumstances that would give Kexas the chance to grow, but other than this initial spark, I left it all up to the hands of BSX to see how she'd grow, or if she even successfully could.

It's still perhaps a bit silly that I spent a lot of time in the crossover working on a character that wasn't even mine, but while it may be a touch awkward for a Kirby Adventure-centric viewpoint, it must be reminded that this was done during a time when both my and BSX's comics were pretty significant on Smack Jeeves and had loyal, thriving communities around both. It added to the lasting charm of the Kirby sprite comic community in general, as well as the camaraderie of both series and us as creators. Ultimately, even if in retrospect and from this viewpoint it might come across as a bit of a weird focus to have, I can only think of it as a success still for the context of the era it was created within.

This is a funny page to me, because it really goes to show how little of an impact Division B had, especially for readers of my comic like BattleStarX. See, the characters Pyra and Lycor (one of whom was whacked with a fish earlier in this crossover), they're brother and sister. But they're such minor and unimportant characters that this detail got overlooked entirely. I don't even blame BSX, it's just funny to me that they're so forgettable and irrelevant that the concept of Kirby siblings seemed foreign to characters who have coworkers that are siblings.

Ulti's Notes:

BSX and I hadn't discussed this before, but I was pretty confident that they wouldn't say no to a bit of extra chaotic energy with a new character to work with. Given all the other silly stuff I had given them to use, I figured a goofily-obedient Squishy would be right up their alley, and as it so happened, I was extremely correct once BSX started using the Squishy for themselves in future KDA pages.

Unfortunately, this is solely an archive for Kirby Adventure, so you won't be seeing that stuff here.

Seriously. What's my next segment? Dimensional Mishaps? I know it'll involve Teelzy, Master Green, and the hospital a good deal. It'll prolly have splashes of the Thieves and the Medics. And Keeby or Kirby will most likely make a showing. But beyond that? Not a clue. It'll write itself.

Speaking of segments, there's a few new ones on the Segment Synopsis page, and Point Zero has been fleshed out a bit more. That is still a long ways away.

Lessons Learned - Part 35


Ulti's Notes:

After all the shenanigannery I pulled with Kublie earlier, I felt it was important to not flanderize her TOO much, per se. To that extent, I wanted to give her a small bit of "oh, impressive", where she displays some of her talents beyond making chaos. Truly, if she was meant to be the PSSS's payment enforcer, she HAD to have more skills than just making a mess of things. I enjoyed giving her this display of competence, while also making it true to her mischievous side that she doesn't always display these skills so that she can get on other peoples' nerves.

Ulti's Notes:

I don't really use my Ultimate Kirby "authorsona" particularly much, and especially less so after the debacle of Tear in the Fabric. However, given the presence of "authorsonas" in Kirby's Dream Adventure regularly (which you've obviously seen in the myriad of BSX's comment Quips), it felt appropriate to have one small moment with my own sona to harken back to the goofiness of the first crossover.

Given the joke-y nature of that original erasure joke from the first crossover, I didn't really think too hard about the weird implications of the author fight that could be read into it. Nobody DID read anything into it, but especially after what occurred between myself and Gigi during THAT crossover, it felt appropriate to 'make amends' with the fictional sona characters here.

Ulti's Notes:

The staggered arrival of the returning cast was likely a two-fold combination of the way I had characters leave panel-by-panel instead of all at once, in order to let them have their own individual seconds to say goodbye with their parting words, and then also BSX's daily upload meaning that anything that could pad out a scene was likely grasped on eagerly. So, hey, it all works out.

Ulti's Notes:

Due to how the characters' returns were staggered a bit, I wound up having to organize the pages in this particular way, so that the order made sense to read right after one another. Had I displayed two KDA pages in a row like I had the entire rest of this webpage, Kexas would have arrived in KDA before actually leaving KA, and that just would've been silly.

Also damn, Vezo, stop being such a Marvel-quote kind of character, that kind of dry observational non-humor really aged poorly.

Ulti's Notes:

Since BattleStarX would always talk about how much they loved sugary treats, the jellybean bag was just a silly acknowledgement of such. As far as the "Doo's Yearly Event" that Kublie mentions, BSX had a tradition of doing in-universe parties hosted by his Author Doo sona, inviting their cast of characters to a yearly comic anniversary party that often had Christmas and New Year's themes to it, since Kirby's Dream Adventure originally began in late December of 2009.

One thing I always found interesting was how Kexas was always treated like the biggest powerhouse, but Karby was sort of like a subtle sleeper "He's Even Stronger" sort of character.

Portal Watch - Part 10


Ulti's Notes:

And with that, that's all of the crossover pages by BattleStarX! And the final crossover segment in Kirby Adventure, thankfully. These segments have been much more annoying to annotate and set up for display here on this website, so being done with them is a huge relief.

As far as the future of Kirby's Dream Adventure is concerned, the comic continued for a good long while, and in fact was forcibly ended by Smack Jeeves being shut down in 2020. Until then, it went for a good 3 years longer than Kirby Adventure did, and continued its daily upload streak impressively enough. The loss of Smack Jeeves killed BSX's motivation to continue working, though, and production on KDA indefinitely halted. The comic's never been officially reuploaded, though as stated in a previous annotation, an unsanctioned partial reupload does exist on ComicFury.

In regards to BSX themselves, since the end of Smack Jeeves and KDA, they've mostly kept themselves busy in private, but they do have a Twitter account, as well as a YouTube where they upload occasional longplay gaming videos of things like Stardew Valley and The Elder Scrolls. So it's certainly not the same as making comics, but they're still around if that sort of content interests you!

Lessons Learned - Part 40


Ulti's Notes:

This finally does it for Lessons Learned, so the next segment gets to be a bit of a return to form... somewhat. You'll see what I mean as soon as you see its name.

Also the funny thing about doing annotations is that when I talk about my personal insights and behind-the-scenes development, it can wind up being the exact same stuff as my "end of chapter" long-form notes that I originally wrote up. As you can see directly below, where nearly everything I said in 2014 is stuff you just read in annotations I wrote in 2024.

At least you know that I'm consistent and that my memory isn't failing me that much, eh?

Original Author's Comment:

08/11/14
And with that, the third crossover of Kirby Adventure is complete! That might also be the third and final, depending on how things go in the future. I can't see another crossover with 20 Times Kirby happening due to how much more rigid planning Gigi puts into her comic, and I'm Kirby's Dream Adventure-d out for now. Maybe in the distant future, there'll be a fourth crossover, but don't get your hopes up.


So, as per Kirby Adventure tradition, time to talk in-depth about the segment and my writing process.


I'll freely admit it right here and now: the only reason why I asked BattleStarX if he'd be willing to do another crossover was so that I could do what I did with Kexas during this segment.

Back when I was doing my Kirby's Dream Adventure In-Depth Review over at my review comic, Ulti Reviews, I took notice of Kexas a little bit more. Everyone who reads KDA knows Kexas, she's probably the most popular character in the comic. She's entertaining and her strength and reputation makes her also one of the most feared KDA characters. However, as I was rereading the entire archives to review the comic, I started to notice something about Kexas. As good as she was, she was also starting to become a bit of a one-note character in KDA. Every situation involving her was essentially exactly the same, and as opposed to some other characters in a similar boat in KDA, Kexas's reputation made it pretty much impossible for her to change from her current position. Nobody could talk any change into her, she was perfectly happy where she was, and people who didn't like her were too afraid to speak up against her. I noticed that if BSX ever intended to give more depth to Kexas, he was kind of written into a corner. I saw no feasible way for Kexas's character to expand any more from how she was presented already... unless someone who didn't know Kexas's reputation encountered her.

This is where the crossover idea sprung into my mind. Kexas could get depth to her one-note personality if she encountered somebody who wasn't aware of her strength or background. The only kinds of people who wouldn't know that would be characters not from that universe. This then eventually developed into having said person be Saia, as she's not only the only Kirby I have who would have enough care to want to talk with Kexas, but she'd also be strong enough to stand up to Kexas in the first place.

Of course, I would never do any of this without BattleStarX's permission, so in my initial private message proposals, I basically presented the idea to him in as much detail as I had already worked out. To my happiness, BSX was all for the idea, so after a few more inquiries into Kexas straight from the creator, I was ready to go on that front.

Also of course, it wouldn't quite be a crossover if only Kexas was involved, so I had to balance between the heavier Kexas characterization stuff with the kookiness of the other six characters I got. In addition to immediately requesting Kexas as a character, BSX gave me Karby and Kimsy to work with, and then I later requested Kubby, Kublie, Kruzy, and Klooshy, whereas aside from Ryka and Shat'l, BSX got to decide everyone he got to work with from my end.

When it came to getting the characterizations right, I think Kruzy and Kublie were the easiest for me to work with. Kruzy immediately clicked with me, and his evil-voice shenanigans were fun to work with. Klooshy was a bit mellowed down, and I don't think I was quite able to use him to his full potential, but he still came out alright. On the other hand, despite how much I love the Kubby-Kublie pairing in KDA, I actually struggled a bit when using it myself. I was able to use the two more effectively when they weren't together, surprisingly enough, or at the very least, when they were addressing somebody else. Thus, the Squishy entered the scene. I left his name and a good chunk of his personality open for interpretation by BattleStarX, thus making it so that BSX can do basically whatever he wants with the Squishy. Unlike Master Green, the Squishy had very little to go on, meaning BSX can write him however he so desires.

The pairing of Karby and Shadik was one that absolutely had to happen. Karby and Shadik missed each other in the first crossover, and Grace and Shadik didn't interact all that much in the second. This time around, I immediately put the two together to create as much silent laughs as I could. Speaking of which, though, that one scene where Karby actually speaks aloud? That was a BSX-approved scene. Unlike in the first and second crossovers, when I would usually just write jokes that may or may not create information from nowhere, or potentially overwrite canonical information, I was a lot more careful this time around. I thought of the joke midway through the crossover, and immediately went to BSX asking if it would be okay. Approval was definitely a lot more important to me this time around, as I wanted to ensure the characters were as accurate as they could be.

Alas, with each crossover comes an underused character. In the first one, it was Karby. In the second one, it was Leo (and Daniel and Yan, to an extent). This time around, Kimsy took the role of being underused. I'll admit, I had a very difficult time working with Kimsy. Like I said, I even forgot to initially put her into the comic when the rest of the KDA cast arrives. I tried to make up for her early underuse in the later half of the segment, but even then, she only has about two comics where she's got more than one line. I really enjoyed the comic where Bandana Dee wakes her up, as well as the comic with her talking to Kublie, but as a whole, Kimsy suffered a bit from me just simply not knowing what to do with her. She still fared better than Karby and Leo did, but it's undeniable how little she participated in this.


I don't have much else to talk about when it comes to the Kexas scenes. I wanted to expand upon her characterization, but I also did so in a way that accomplished two important things. One was that it didn't actually create any new information. Everything I did had its roots in her official KDA backstory, I just used it in a slightly different manner. The other thing is that in all actuality, I didn't change Kexas in the slightest. The way I wrote that conversation was an intentional way of simply sowing the seeds. Any actual change in Kexas's characterization, if there is one at all, can and will be written solely by BattleStarX now. I set the stage for the character growth to occur, but I didn't actually write it myself. I didn't want to feel as though I was interfering too much with the character, so now the future of Kexas rests solely on the hands of the Author Doo.


So yeah, that's all I really have to talk about for now, unless I'm just forgetting something. In the end, I think this crossover ended up being the best one of the three, so that's a good note to end on with the most likely final KA crossover. Hopefully you all enjoyed the segment, and if nothing else, the next segment should be a fun ride as well.

I have a question: Are you planning on putting Talzo in the next segment? It's been a while since he showed up, and I'd really like to find out more about what his next plan is.

Yeah, this was definitely our better cross-overs. With full on planning on one end and extra effort to not massacre characters on the other, I think we should get a lot less complaints about canon things this time around.

Not that we each didn't get a lot to play with last time, hehehe.

I actually look forward to the next segment to focus on Kexas and the other kirbies of that group now after this. Sometimes you just need something like this to break a mode JUST enough.

... Yeah, this was a good crossover, with effort in both comics. I'm still happy to read those comics and I'll always be a fan of KA and KDA!

Master green and the Ku-ie's Jelly will always hold the memories of Calibri.

Honestly, I'm glad things are back to non-crossover.
It's not that I don't necessarily like the crossovers, I just don't find them as enjoyable as the normal segments.

But maybe that's just me.

I'm sorry but from the beginning there were too many Kirby's to keep track of too many characters overall took many different things all over the place and honestly its kinda annoying
