Drawcia: Time to turn into a ball and bounce about the place, maybe set myself on fire _Marx/Sectonia/Star Dream/Void/Fecto Elfilis: WRITE THAT DOWN, WRITE THAT DOWN!_
This is the first Kirby game where Kumazaki, the current director of the series, had any major input in. Another funny thing is that this guy is known to love cosmic horror and actually draw realistic eldritch spawns when he is not working on Kirby. That may help you understand why Canvas' Curse is such an important game for the history of the series' art direction and why all the bosses after Drawcia are either extremely screwed up in appearance and concept or have extremely depressing backstories and tragic ends. Yes the old Kirby bosses are pretty good with the whole cosmic horror thing but that didn't help that both Sakurai and Shimomura seems to also like having hellspawns as their final bosses. At this point you may start to wonder if HAL doesn't have a note in their contracts that explicitly state that you must like cosmic horror to even be the director of the series.
Indeed, Mr. Kumazaki certainly makes my own cosmic hellspawn artwork look like amateur by comparison on how good his art direction is. I have been doing art since I was 4 years old and I'm 30 going on 31 in less than a couple of months.
Jesus P. G. Have you ever checked out Shinya Kumazaki's art, who directed this game and all Kirby games since Super Star Ultra? A glimpse of his art style is shown here
As a self-taught artist, I appreciate the fourth-wall breaking in this game and the metaphor about the difficulty of art and creativity. You ever felt like you're literally fighting your own tools/medium? That's the message I got from the Drawcia battle--as others here have said, she isn't fighting Kirby, but _you_ the player.
@@channelremoved32 Probably same reason I am; so I don't have to play it. This is a really cool boss sequence, more disturbing than Zero/Zero 2, but I'm not gonna go through that slog of a gameplay again just to get to this
Imagine how much more terrifying this fight would be with 3ds quality sound. Imagine Drawcua screaming at you, the player, and shooting attacks at the screen... in 3D. Nova, that's unsettling.
My brother gave me a hand me down copy of this game when I was young. It was the first Kirby game I ever had. Since it was all cleared, I went into drawcia's level to check out what the final boss looked like. The mesh of distilled rainbow, looking like flesh and meat painted in grotesque colors, broken paintings grinning at me as they fall scared me to no end- I thought the game was punishing me for cheating, or the game files were broken. It gave me nightmares and I never touched the copy again.
Most Kirby final boss themes have atmospheric and ominous feels. This theme is chaos. Pure chaos. This is reflected, not just in the theme, but in the top screen too. During your adventure, your top screen gives you a map to guide you. But during the final encounter, as Drawcia loses her physical form, it turns to static. Nothing but static. And while this happens, she attacks with eveirthing she has. She can't think straight anymore. She just wants 1 single thing. To kill you and Kirby. You, the player that has guided Kirby during the entire adventure, are the true hero of this story, aswell as Drawcia's true enemy. As she turned into just a soul, she realized that the real treath wasn't the pink ball infront of her. It was the one controlling the brush. So she begins to attack eratically, trying to outsmart the player. Rapid movements, eratic music, everithing to defeat you. And once her health is gone and her life is finished, she screams at you, the player.
you have forever changed this game for me. although in now going through a brainwave... if drawcia is aware of us, the player, does she know that she isn't technically real? does she really think we're a threat?and I get how it's terrifying with this sudden change, but would this make her the ruler of the canvas world??? AND CREATOR??? ... sorry about that. I had a lot of thoughts going through my mind
5:12 that's where she realizes you are fighting her, guiding Kirby the whole time. Thinking "you... you're the one I am seeking... not the pink ball..."
@@qwertystop Well, for one, Drawcia doesn't really stare or scream at Kirby in this phase, rather her face is always straight up looking at the fourth wall, where you are controlling Kirby. Kirby can't really attack Drawcia unless you damage her by pressing the screen, which means her only weakness... is you, and she is aware of that. How her falling blades can break the path you draw on the screen and the fact that Kirby is more often than not doing nothing or just dodging attacks shows that this battle barely involves him anymore.
@@StormyRaptor2.0 Eh. "Always facing the screen, not Kirby" is just as true of Marx and Wham Bam and Nightmare and every single Gordo and Dark Mind and loads of other stuff across the series. And across plenty of other 2d platformers, for that matter. And most of the things in this game have interactions relating to the player poking them, because that's half the interface. I don't buy it as a fourth wall break, and if it is one it's certainly not new or unique to Drawcia.
Yeah. The Para Matter attacks aren't initially aimed at Kirby, but at you. She's looking not at Kirby, but at you through the battle, and she seems to know about you. After all, you are the one with the Brush, not Kirby. Also explains why tapping her doesn't affect her in her first phase, but after she goes ballistic, tapping is the only way to attack her/open a door to attack.
@@qwertystop But Marx isn't looking at you, nor does he show any signs of noticing you. Wham Bam isn't either, he looks at Kirby. Nightmare is all over the place with his looking when he attacks he's looking at Kirby. Actually, here's the big thing: All these sorts of bosses turn their attention to Kirby when they attack. Not Drawcia, she's always looking at you, ESPECIALLY when she's attacking.
+It's like me, but cooler (Le fake overreaction in previous comment) But seriously, our comments are pretty similar. (Ps sorry I'm late, I only watch this video on nights I want to go without sleeping)
Look at how Drawcia's soul attacks. She is not only screaming at the player, but is trying to ATTACK the player for what you made Kirby do, but they fall back and hit her, which makes her gets madder.
Who the hell tought that making the level leading up to drawcia so fucking freaky was a good idea? I mean the whole game is cheerful in a way, and then this suddenly happens. It's like Giygas in earthbound.
A world full of color, creativity and imagination - with everything that it implies, because it´s in the imagination... where the most vile ideas are born.
tails41yoshi remember, drawcia's world is corrupted, so after turning into her soul form, she possibly absorbed her world, becoming corrupted herself, and leaving the world with just static
Her giant eye is like a mouth especially when she dies; a pure unadulterated look of terror as she is unwillingly mixed back into the painting which shatters. Beautiful. Her sis had it easy.
Okay this is what I love about Kirby games. There's always some twist at the end, and the majority of final bosses in Kirby are actually really freaking creepy. I just finished a Triple Deluxe, and I kept saying while playing the game, "There's going to be some kind of plot twist." And what do you know, I was right.
Same it was also around the time you posted that comment I started to notice that Kirby final bosses were starting to get creepy and have a plot twist at the end lol. I wonder what you thought about Kirby planet robobot, star Allies and forgotten land?
In planet robobot you can hear haltman faintly screaming every tine you destroy a pillar in the star dream soul os fight in star allies when you kill astral birth void it smiles and in forgor land specimen id-f86 consumes the beast pack including leongar to turn into a very terrifying boss ( and it chases you down) and we have sectonia ripping her head of after her flower form in her soul fight and know this?! its not even looking at kirby its looking at YOU the player of kirby canvas curse😢
Welcome to Kirby, a game where a cute little pinky ball kills innocent creatures. There is blood and terrifying sounds. Even the bosses are messed up. Note that this is rated e for everyone.
I'm very aware of all the other characters that use this moveset, I'm moreso trying to communicate how cool it is that this has continued for so long, like some kind of meta plot in the background of every game.
God damnit spoilers, Don't even say that I shouldn't have looked at the comments, this game is not even close to forgotten land, by release day, gameplay, graphics, or console
@@uykolyx that is the only thing in common, I shouldn't have to worry about spoilers on modern games when I go to the comment section of an old video about an old game that was a thing way before the modern game, sorry if I overreacted
Here's a bit of Lore for you: In Paintra DX's pause description, it is stated that she had a sister that was separated from her at birth. It is also told that she ran amok and was sealed inside a painting. Sounds familiar?
@Competition For LOST, wonder how that would work, since music in games are whole audio files instead of several samples with pitch changes for parts of a song like the SNES, DS, or GBA.
No wonder why I had nightmares as a child from this boss. The music is terrifying (in a great way) and the screeches give me chills. And people say Kirby is a kids game.
This is probably my favorite "spin-off" (if it's considered as such). Not only was it one of the first DS games that actually played like a game (whereas most of the DS's early titles were just gimmicky with touch screen use), but I loved the connection you had between Kirby. Despite the fact that the idea that Kirby is actually relying on YOU is only referenced in the opening and the ending. Drawcia's my favorite Kirby boss, for several reasons. Hope she makes some cameos in later games.
Is because is so similar The paint in Drawcia isn’t blue and pink like other soul forms The same goes for Chaos Elfilis ink attack Or what about the background being a mix of colors in both battles?
this entire level literally feels like a fanmade weird-creepypasta kirby game. ita weird how marx's screech gets talked more than whatever drawcia soul has going on
Most other Soul Bosses: Here's a souped-up version of the original boss. Nothing more, nothing less, but it's still kinda cool. Drawcia Soul: HERE'S A GIANT ORB OF PAIN THAT SCREAMS AT YOU
@@jmtthepixelmon16 yeah but chaos elfilis has almost all these attacks. The bouncing, the flame charge, the cutter, the splitting and raining thing. Im pretty sure all thats missing those things she summons
My reaction to Drawcia's World and Final Boss: "Oh, this world is cool. Too bad its only one level." "Too many spikes." "Why are those paintings staring at me? They are creeping me out." "Oh, cool! A giant painting! Lets enter it!" "FINALLY, I can kick your butt after you turning me into a ball!" "Please, get stronger attacks. Enemies aren- OH GOD THE SPIKES." "FINALLY I beat her." "This is a surprisingly long destroy animation." "Credits ple- OH GOD NO. NOW I HAVE TO FACE HER AGAIN.. THIS TIME SHE'S A BALL." "But.. *_a ball_*. That's amazingly creative Nintendo." "FINALLY that's over! Credits!"
5:07 Yes! I finally beat this game! Wait...what's going on? Giygas? Wait. Oh no. Oh, gosh! No! No! NOOOOOO! We need more Kirby final bosses like this one.
I didn't notice that until a few hours ago an article pointed out the similarities. Maybe it is because I haven't touched Canvas Curse (or the touchscreen of my original DS) in years. That is actually why I decided to watch this vid.
Things Marx soul got from this boss, "soul", Raining paint thingies, Cutter, That double hadoken attack, Final boss, God awful screech when you kill it
Proof that Kirby is "Y-know, for kids": -Drawcia Soul (this): A huge glob of paint with a freaky looking mouth, five eyes and she screams like CRAZY!! -Marx Soul (the scariest one): An awesomely designed zombie jester that screams when he dies and it will hurt ANYONE'S ears, makes the most gruesome face that turns into two and just explodes!(pure nightmare fuel) -Magolor Soul: A weird creature with 3 eyes (everyone thinks it's Zero) who is possessed by the Master Crown and screams Kirby's name in agonizing pain. Soul of Sectonia: A zombie bee who laughs in a really disturbing way and steals Marx and Drawcia's attacks. Star Dream Soul OS: A one eyed robot who has the creator's soul, a huge 4 armed base, Nova 2.0 (and it screams in a weird, robotic way), and a heart that can one hit kill you and the screams it makes is Haltmann's but distorted and more disturbing. And these games are all rated E for everyone (yeah, right😒)
Why is every soul boss so creepy? This is a horrifying ball of paint, Marx's soul ending scream is just so creepy, Magolor's soul is scary just like dark matter (since he's dark matter reborn), and the soul of Sectonia's laughs are just terrifying...
If anyone has ever Played Canvas Curse and Triple Deluxe Paintura literally references Drawcia 70% in her battle from her cries and attacks and even look!
HEY KIDS! DON'T YOU LOVE KIRBY? ISN'T EVERYTHING SO CUTE!? KIRBY KIRBY KIRBY, HE'S THE STAR OF THE SHOW! KIRBY KIRBY KIRBY HE'S THE NAME YOU SHOULD KNOW! IT'S SO KID FRIENDLY! LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS? AND THE LEVEL LEADING UP? SO ADORABLE! NOW GO TO SLEEP WITH THE NICE IMAGE OF DRAWCIA, MARX, MAGLOR, 0, 02, SECTONIA, AND THE REST OF THE GAME IN YOUR DREAMS!!!!
@@thegrungus9229 have you checked out kirby 64 with totally easy difficulty you could collect the shards in mo time! Plus there's a frozen earth and bleeding eyes!
@@thegrungus9229 ua-cam.com/video/Gz5yPN_meJM/v-deo.html If you're gonna say this is baby shiat, it's the origin of dark which is actually the soul of a dang demon.
So I imagine the reason Soul's theme is so weird and glitchy is either because you're not supposed to be there, or because that's just how messed up Drawcia's head is. The fact that her attacks damage herself (it at least looks like the player isn't doing a thing when those weird eye things fall back to hurt her?) is kinda weird, does she just not care anymore? XD
The game is for the DS, when things randomly get stunned or flinch that's the person tapping them. Those eye things aren't her attacking herself, it's an attack that the player can deflect back at her. She DOES care, enough to split a piece of herself at Kirby for massive damage, plenty to go around too. You can see at a few points that the player wasn't fast enough and the eyes executed an elemental attack. As for the music, you aren't IN her, she's all over the place so why can't the music be too?
She thought she had all the power, but she didn't so she's throwing everything at Kirby now to (try to) stop them. That also causes a fucked up world with all the power she's using at Kirby, meaning fucked up music.
People worried so much about how Kirby 64's final boss being too mature for gushing blood out of it's eye, and completely forgot the fact that Canvas Curse's final boss was a full-on acid trip.
Why is it that in Kirby games, it starts out really cute, and then at the end, you fight something from a nightmare? It's kind of like scarfies. They start out cute, and then they turn into a one eyed, exloding face-eater.
"hey remember when Kirby had to traverse through a non-euclidean paint landscape in order to fight an eldritch witch-goddess of paint? good times, good times."
Best part of the game tbh. I just wish the rest of the game had interesting stuff like this because for the most part it just feels like a tech demo for what the stylis can do
first played this game when i was like twelve and had never played a kirby game before, had no knowledge of the trend on final bosses being eldritch horrors, and i was playing alone in my dark room at night when i beat drawcia sorceress. drawcia soul screamed at me Once and my baby ass noped the fuuuck out lmao, shut the game off and went to sleep on the couch downstairs with the light on. good times.
watching this made me realize in triple deluxe, (true boss mode) sectonia is just one huge drawcia reference. especially the part were her "soul" comes out in the end.
you cannot grasp the true form of drawcia! (earthbound reference because the weird background is actually Giygas' form warped out and distorted. in one second of the battle, you can see giygas as the background)
Man, I'm glad this video is still up, hahaha. I feel like this exact video was one of the things that first really clued me in to how cool and creepy Kirby could be, and it's nice to come back and watch the same familiar gameplay
Drawcia: Time to turn into a ball and bounce about the place, maybe set myself on fire

Well, looks like someone finally got to zero two.
You know, if Kirby has more scary elements, even psychological horror elements not unlike DDLC and Omori, it would lead to a T rated nightmare
Look at how Drawcia's soul attacks. She is not only screaming at the player, but is trying to ATTACK the player for what you made Kirby do, but they fall back and hit her, which makes her gets madder.
Fortunately we got a screen...
Imagine if it was true and that suddenly the screen broke as she lauch an attack....
I can just imagine her screaming "STOP HELPING KIRBY!!!!!!"
Is it bad that i started to feel bad for Drawcia Soul getting mad at the player for protecting and guiding Kirbeh?
If this boss had a game over, I feel as if the game over would be the soul trying to break the screen to get you. That would be a fun bad ending!

Got to love how Chaos Elfilis uses these exact same moves.
Soul of Sectonia does, too
I'm very aware of all the other characters that use this moveset, I'm moreso trying to communicate how cool it is that this has continued for so long, like some kind of meta plot in the background of every game.
God damnit spoilers, Don't even say that I shouldn't have looked at the comments, this game is not even close to forgotten land, by release day, gameplay, graphics, or console
@@Serious5GamingS5Git has kirby tho
@@uykolyx that is the only thing in common, I shouldn't have to worry about spoilers on modern games when I go to the comment section of an old video about an old game that was a thing way before the modern game, sorry if I overreacted
It really looks like a witch's labyrinth from Madoka. Even Drawcia herself has basically a witch form.
And Canvas Curse is so much darker than any other Kirby game. It really is the Madoka Magica of the Kirby franchise.
Woah, you're right!
omg it does
As someone whose actually watched Madoka, I wouldn't go that far
@@tonberry2670As someone who has also watched Madoka, I would.
the ambience of world of drawcia is so...god thumbs up HAL
Ambience? This place is creepy. The background looks like a Ruined playground and the music is desolate.
+Daisy Deluxe And thats the ambience CREEPY
Ashton Diermeier the apacolypse is ambient. Yeah we're horrible people
Gaygas.
+Melon Scumpthin Mel-o-gas
Here's a bit of Lore for you:
In Paintra DX's pause description, it is stated that she had a sister that was separated from her at birth. It is also told that she ran amok and was sealed inside a painting.
Sounds familiar?
drawcia’s technical return
the second i saw paintra and paintra dx in triple deluxe i got like, INSTANT pstd, i was genuinely like "oh no"
@@spanoguy2283 it's basically Drawcia mk2.
huh.
@@spanoguy2283 Nah, for me, it was the second I heard that witchy laugh…
9:04 kirby is too holy and pure so even the gentlest of touches deal irreparable damage
And now, kids, you know where the inspiration for witch lairs in Madoka Magica came from.
I was watching some Rebellion before clicking on this video 0_o
Now that you mention it...
... Soo Drawcia could work as a secret boss for Madoka Magica?!
OOMMMGGG YASSSS MADOKA MAGICA
@@arturoayala1004 Raises the question of just WHAT happened to Drawcia to turn her into a Witch...
*Drawcia Sorceress:* Hmm, seems kewl.
*Drawcia Soul:* ....WAT
I like how, most of the time, it's you, the player, against Drawcia Soul. Kirby has little to no imput during the whole fight.
The Soul bosses are always so creepy and out of place in Kirby, I love it. This music was kickass too.
They should make a Kirby final boss that is based around music
And it should be related/similar to Drawcia/Claycia/Paintra
It would be called Musica or something like that probably.

I’d love to see a Kirby rhythm game. Dedede’s Drum Dash doesn’t count!
@Competition For LOST, wonder how that would work, since music in games are whole audio files instead of several samples with pitch changes for parts of a song like the SNES, DS, or GBA.
We already have Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe
5:15
Don't think I didn't notice you there Zero.
It. Tbh is actually gygas!
@@tapethegangleader7016 hal must have made it like that because they made the mother games too
@@Pinkchococherub fun fact: drawcia was inspired by one kumazaki's horror art.
@@IZRthe1st me from 4 years ago wasn't aware of his art
No wonder why I had nightmares as a child from this boss. The music is terrifying (in a great way) and the screeches give me chills. And people say Kirby is a kids game.
Let's be honest, Drawcia Soul's theme is really epic (I wonder how it would be a rock cover ver?)
Oh dear god no please no
I knew about the bounce and paint attacks, but Sectonia's eye flowers showing up was a surprise. Neat!
The moment when you know DRAWCIA soul actually not attacking at kirby
It's attacking at the player
Well, trying too, anyways.
This is probably my favorite "spin-off" (if it's considered as such). Not only was it one of the first DS games that actually played like a game (whereas most of the DS's early titles were just gimmicky with touch screen use), but I loved the connection you had between Kirby. Despite the fact that the idea that Kirby is actually relying on YOU is only referenced in the opening and the ending.
Drawcia's my favorite Kirby boss, for several reasons. Hope she makes some cameos in later games.
Its a mainline game :v
@@CarlosSilva-bh4biThis comment was made before Kirby Triple Deluxe, obviously nobody knew if Canvas Curse was canonical spin-off
I think a few of Chaos Elfilis’ 2nd phase attacks are inspired from Drawcia Soul. Actually most of them are.
Is because is so similar
The paint in Drawcia isn’t blue and pink like other soul forms
The same goes for Chaos Elfilis ink attack
Or what about the background being a mix of colors in both battles?
Drawcia laid the groundwork for every soul boss in kirby
You know, despite being a touch-based spin-off, this game definitely had some *soul* put into it.
Mario Hoops 3-on-3 definitely took notes on how to make a good stylus-focused DS game.
AAAAAAYYYYYY-
*EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE* for everyone
Most of the final bosses of kirby are freakishly and disturbing, but we don't care because it's kirby
this entire level literally feels like a fanmade weird-creepypasta kirby game. ita weird how marx's screech gets talked more than whatever drawcia soul has going on
Probably because marx soul is better.
@@lpfan4491 your opinion is wrong but thats okay
Their equal in my eyes
Drawcia is by far one of the creepiest bosses in any Kirby game
Most other Soul Bosses: Here's a souped-up version of the original boss. Nothing more, nothing less, but it's still kinda cool.
Drawcia Soul: HERE'S A GIANT ORB OF PAIN THAT SCREAMS AT YOU
heck i forgot about the other soul bosses that can turn into orbs of pain as well but they don't scream at you so they dont count
I like how those painting enemies only do psychological damage
The Forgotten Lands nod to this fight absolutely blew me away
Most soul bosses reference this fight
@@jmtthepixelmon16 yeah but chaos elfilis has almost all these attacks.
The bouncing, the flame charge, the cutter, the splitting and raining thing. Im pretty sure all thats missing those things she summons
@@leapardbone *it
Anyone remembers how those smiling blocks gave you nightmares when you were younger, and then you never played the game again? It’s still horrifying
I somehow find the Smiling Paintings a bit unnerving since they’re staring at Kirby.
Trippy background in the first battle phase reminds me of giygas
My reaction to Drawcia's World and Final Boss:
"Oh, this world is cool. Too bad its only one level."
"Too many spikes."
"Why are those paintings staring at me? They are creeping me out."
"Oh, cool! A giant painting! Lets enter it!"
"FINALLY, I can kick your butt after you turning me into a ball!"
"Please, get stronger attacks. Enemies aren- OH GOD THE SPIKES."
"FINALLY I beat her."
"This is a surprisingly long destroy animation."
"Credits ple- OH GOD NO. NOW I HAVE TO FACE HER AGAIN.. THIS TIME SHE'S A BALL."
"But.. *_a ball_*. That's amazingly creative Nintendo."
"FINALLY that's over! Credits!"
Listen to the Drawcia Soul music with headphones. It is absolutely outrageous!
another day of fighting gods
They're evil gods, of course.
Just another Tuesday for Kirbo 💀
5:07 Yes! I finally beat this game! Wait...what's going on? Giygas? Wait. Oh no. Oh, gosh! No! No! NOOOOOO!
We need more Kirby final bosses like this one.
+KirbYTP Marx,Magolor and Sectonia much?
@Daniel975 Void Soul (Essence of Chaos) and Void EX (Astral Birth)
Literally all the bosses of the series are like this, buddo, tho this is one of the freakiest, yes
That first scream you hear after you think the game's over..........
Nearly made me shit my pants.
5:08 You cannot grasp the true form of Drawcia Soul!
9:28 Defeating Drawcia Soul won't save...nevermind.
Gaygas
I didn't notice that until a few hours ago an article pointed out the similarities. Maybe it is because I haven't touched Canvas Curse (or the touchscreen of my original DS) in years. That is actually why I decided to watch this vid.
Melon Scumpthin in the end kirby as a ball through prayer vanished drawcia from existence
Flowey omega just met his match in terms of creepiness
+TheArchDemon Get out of here.
Phase 1:normal, casual sorceress laughter
Phase 2:
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I want your opinion:
Do you think it's more epic for Kirby to lay the final blow on Drawcia Soul or the player

Things Marx soul got from this boss, "soul", Raining paint thingies, Cutter, That double hadoken attack, Final boss, God awful screech when you kill it
Proof that Kirby is "Y-know, for kids":
-Drawcia Soul (this): A huge glob of paint with a freaky looking mouth, five eyes and she screams like CRAZY!!
-Marx Soul (the scariest one): An awesomely designed zombie jester that screams when he dies and it will hurt ANYONE'S ears, makes the most gruesome face that turns into two and just explodes!(pure nightmare fuel)
-Magolor Soul: A weird creature with 3 eyes (everyone thinks it's Zero) who is possessed by the Master Crown and screams Kirby's name in agonizing pain.
Soul of Sectonia: A zombie bee who laughs in a really disturbing way and steals Marx and Drawcia's attacks.
Star Dream Soul OS: A one eyed robot who has the creator's soul, a huge 4 armed base, Nova 2.0 (and it screams in a weird, robotic way), and a heart that can one hit kill you and the screams it makes is Haltmann's but distorted and more disturbing.
And these games are all rated E for everyone (yeah, right😒)
davgel007 zero doesn't need to be explained.
I know. He's scary because BLOOD in a kids game...
Void: The literal origin of Kirby who also happens to be the God of Destruction and origin of Dark Matter.
*KIDS GAME!*
Don’t forget Void Soul the pushover joke of a boss and Void the bullet spammer hell.
@@AA-tz2bm and astral birth void?
8:14 this is probably the attack that gave me the most anxiety when I was a kid
HAL knows, that's why they brought it back for Sectonia Soul, Void Soul, and Chaos Elfilis 💀
anyone else reminded of the witches from madoka magica with this level? because i sure as hell was.
acrysonyk um who?
LOL
I was.The World of Drawcia does kinda look like a witch labyrinth and Drawica Soul does kinda look like a witch.
Well, Drawcia IS a witch, and she has two forms...
Anyone come here after beating the final boss in Star Allies? Direct reference to this fight with that game.
yeah
There is after all an underlying rabbit hole of lore that connects all of these games together
Why is every soul boss so creepy? This is a horrifying ball of paint, Marx's soul ending scream is just so creepy, Magolor's soul is scary just like dark matter (since he's dark matter reborn), and the soul of Sectonia's laughs are just terrifying...
What about star dream soul OS
That game came out after this comment
+desolate land nostalgia. that's what happened.
There is no solid proof that Magolor is related to Dark Matter.
+desolate land It's creepy too because you can hear screams if you hit the boss (The heart boss)
If anyone has ever Played Canvas Curse and Triple Deluxe Paintura literally references Drawcia 70% in her battle from her cries and attacks and even look!
it's implied that they're sisters. And Soul of Sectonia makes up the other 30%.
She will likely be the main antagonist of the Rainbow Curse.
wildman101093 -.- drawcia CREATED paintra! does no one listen to me!
Grace Love Seriously? Did you read the description during the battle with Paintra? They are not mother and daughter. They are sisters.
I have only played canvas curse
"What's that?"
"Oh, that. That's the orb."
5:40
*ominous droning sound*
Ah yes Kirby staple enemy design: evil circle
To this day this stage still looks like something out of a creepypasta
HEY KIDS! DON'T YOU LOVE KIRBY? ISN'T EVERYTHING SO CUTE!? KIRBY KIRBY KIRBY, HE'S THE STAR OF THE SHOW! KIRBY KIRBY KIRBY HE'S THE NAME YOU SHOULD KNOW! IT'S SO KID FRIENDLY! LOOK HOW CUTE IT IS? AND THE LEVEL LEADING UP? SO ADORABLE! NOW GO TO SLEEP WITH THE NICE IMAGE OF DRAWCIA, MARX, MAGLOR, 0, 02, SECTONIA, AND THE REST OF THE GAME IN YOUR DREAMS!!!!
@DRKCHR fuck you man have you seen void
@@thegrungus9229 Sectonia Soul rips herself out the flower to kill Kirby
@@thegrungus9229 have you checked out kirby 64 with totally easy difficulty you could collect the shards in mo time! Plus there's a frozen earth and bleeding eyes!
@@thegrungus9229 ua-cam.com/video/Gz5yPN_meJM/v-deo.html
If you're gonna say this is baby shiat, it's the origin of dark which is actually the soul of a dang demon.
To be honest, if a little pink ball kept slamming me in the face to the point of near death, I would probably scream like that too...
5:07 Giygas...? Giygas, what are doing in my Kirby game? Giygas, get out... I don't need any more nightmare fuel...
I just realized that when Drawcia is shooting balls of plasma she’s basically exposing herself to Kirby
So I imagine the reason Soul's theme is so weird and glitchy is either because you're not supposed to be there, or because that's just how messed up Drawcia's head is. The fact that her attacks damage herself (it at least looks like the player isn't doing a thing when those weird eye things fall back to hurt her?) is kinda weird, does she just not care anymore? XD
The game is for the DS, when things randomly get stunned or flinch that's the person tapping them. Those eye things aren't her attacking herself, it's an attack that the player can deflect back at her. She DOES care, enough to split a piece of herself at Kirby for massive damage, plenty to go around too. You can see at a few points that the player wasn't fast enough and the eyes executed an elemental attack. As for the music, you aren't IN her, she's all over the place so why can't the music be too?
TheGamer6866
Ah, thanks for clarifying. ^^ kinda hard to tell sometimes just watching the video, haha
She thought she had all the power, but she didn't so she's throwing everything at Kirby now to (try to) stop them. That also causes a fucked up world with all the power she's using at Kirby, meaning fucked up music.
Dash Aradele Also can we take a moment to talk about disturbing it is that drawcia soul has properties of static
0:13 Absolutely unnerving ambience...
Drawcia isn’t trying to attack Kirby....
*Drawcia is trying to attack YOU.*
why do i have the feeling of combining every soul boss from kirby into one massive and terrifying entity?
your not alone
And Drawcia must have been the original after it somehow copied the fall of dark matter.
GIANT EYEBALL!
Draw it
would that be dharkon from smash ultimate or zero 3
everytime i play this game, i feel like kirby's guardian angel!
People worried so much about how Kirby 64's final boss being too mature for gushing blood out of it's eye, and completely forgot the fact that Canvas Curse's final boss was a full-on acid trip.
Friend: There's this really cool game I got, but it has a really disturbing, Undead thing for a final boss.
Me: Let me guess... It's a Kirby game.
9:38
Well snice love you art that much. It will makes a perfect sense for you to become one. Goodbye Drawica
rated e for eerie :D
*Rated E for *EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
Drawcia Soul breaks the fourth wall by screaming at the player
Anyone wanna hear a joke? Kirby's supposed to be for kids
why is this game rated E for everyone?
Cuz cute puffball.
+Ookami Mrsirkillzalot ESRB didn't see this part.
Ookami Mrsirkillzalot
Not it's rated E for *EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!*
5:13. this explains it all
Yeah. I REALLY Hate Drawcia Soul's Scream...Compared To MARX SOUL'S SCREAM!
This is where it all started, huh?
This and Zero
I meant, when it comes to soul bosses@@ikagura
Why is it that in Kirby games, it starts out really cute, and then at the end, you fight something from a nightmare? It's kind of like scarfies. They start out cute, and then they turn into a one eyed, exloding face-eater.
DEAR GOD THOSE PAINTINGS
also im not embarrassed, i used to thing that drawcia was a giant mustached face XD
HEY DOUCHERON
Random guy on YT Douche Fishron?
Drawcia went crazy after she lost her sister, Rated E for Everyone
"hey remember when Kirby had to traverse through a non-euclidean paint landscape in order to fight an eldritch witch-goddess of paint?
good times, good times."
she is one of the various influences to my character design choices
Still the best boss music ever next to final bowser boss fight in M&L BIS
Best part of the game tbh. I just wish the rest of the game had interesting stuff like this because for the most part it just feels like a tech demo for what the stylis can do
first played this game when i was like twelve and had never played a kirby game before, had no knowledge of the trend on final bosses being eldritch horrors, and i was playing alone in my dark room at night when i beat drawcia sorceress. drawcia soul screamed at me Once and my baby ass noped the fuuuck out lmao, shut the game off and went to sleep on the couch downstairs with the light on. good times.
watching this made me realize in triple deluxe, (true boss mode) sectonia is just one huge drawcia reference. especially the part were her "soul" comes out in the end.
Marx soul, megalor soul, this.
Sorry, I was just naming them. Also, not Megalor. :T
So Kirby and the player fight against an EarthBound fan? Amazingly beautiful.
you cannot grasp the true form of drawcia!
(earthbound reference because the weird background is actually Giygas' form warped out and distorted. in one second of the battle, you can see giygas as the background)
If i show this to might art teacher, she might quit
That means... are the kirby series and mother related ? 😕
Man, I'm glad this video is still up, hahaha. I feel like this exact video was one of the things that first really clued me in to how cool and creepy Kirby could be, and it's nice to come back and watch the same familiar gameplay
Kirby: a cute pink ball who like to explore
The people he fought:
The sounds, the visuals, just everything about this. This is not a DS game. It’s a fan-game creepypasta.
Rather, an OFFICAL creepypasta.
