I think the unused Kirby dead page was meant as a placeholder for when the pause screen was accessed while you’re waiting for an ally to give you an extra life. Nightmare in Dreamland’s multiplayer had a pause screen if you were out of lives saying “Being careful only takes a moment, but injuries last a lifetime…”
@@MNGoldenEagle Well all the demo ability pause screens has the same kanjis as that one, so probably the one who's waiting for allies to give an extra life is the one who paused the game, and that "Continue Game" just means unpausing. Supporting that theory is that the icon on the bottom right is the same "Wait" icon used in Nightmare in Dreamland when you're waiting to respawn.
In the HL port of the demo, that screen got removed and was replaced with an image of Mametchi on the Tamagotchi Connection. This was an screenshot taken by the HL Nintendo owner, Naboshi Debajuki the 3rd. Naboshi also works for Bandai Namco HL, Ltd. as the Tamagotchi Development Leader.
The unused pause screen with the dead kirby is in my opinion something leftover from Nightmare in dreamland, when you die in multiplayer and you have to wait for the other player to clear the room to proceed. This can be confirmed further by the image of Kirby in the bottom right which corresponds to the "Wait" state in Nightmare in Dreamland. But since in the final game you dont have to wait for the other player when you die in multiplayer this got removed.
@@andrew_stampsbecause the clock enemy is listed under tokkōn, and tokkōn is derived from the word for time (Toki) , mixed with the sound a clock makes as it ticks. It is not derived from Tokkou lol
8:00 That old design for the Master Sword ability likely harkens back to the Kirby anime. In that series, regular Sword Kirby and Galaxia-wielding Sword Kirby both have the green hat and similar transformation sequences.
13:20 - The more I listen to it, the more the Dark Meta Knight battle theme demo reminds me of his pinch theme from Kirby Triple Deluxe. To me, the wavy synth sounds like it's been reincorporated in a way. Outstanding video, it's fascinating seeing the behind-the-scenes content of games I really love.
Hell yeah this is awesome man. Kirby is one of my favorite series ever and amazing mirror is great I spent so much time on it as a kid even thought I would always get stuck or lost and just run around exploring. Once I got a littler older I played it again and it became one of my favorite Kirby games it’ll be awesome when it’s on the switch with online multiplayer
nah, stoppy the jetplane makes soooo much more sense *obviously* seriously tetrabit is usually good about this stuff idk how stoppy the jetplane happened in this vid
I love Kirby and the Amazing mirror. The conecpt of having a metroid vania styled kirby was always cool to me. I wouldnt mind if another Kirby game was made in a similar way
This is my favorite Kirby game of all time. I've played through it more times than I can count, and I still remember picking it up at the big case of used gameboy games at Gamestop for the first time. That feeling of adventure, being able to go through the interconnected areas, trying to find new pathways each time. Not only that, but having the other Kirby's explore the world themselves, even areas you aren't even in made the world feel so alive, and despite never having anyone to play it with, the ai made me feel like I wasn't playing alone. Some areas having minibosses with unique abilities to use, others having unique puzzles that require teamwork. The game's world felt so big, even giving you a map to keep track of where you are in it. Nothing felt better than finding those chests with a new Kirby color in it. I prefer this type of exploration as opposed to a level selection screen any day. I might be wrong, but isn't this the only Kirby game that had that kind of open world? In any case, this game deserves so much praise, even today.
It makes way more sense for the watch enemy to be called Stoppy, even more so that he looks like a proper miniboss more than the prototype airplane one
I cannot believe it finally we got Kirby and the Amazing Mirror on the Nintendo Switch to complete all the games that we got for Kirby's 30th Anniversary So now all we need is just Kirby Triple Deluxe and Kirby Planet Robobot to be remastered with new epilogue modes for both Taranza and Susie and that's it
I don't know what's weirder, the fact that they changed minor details like the ocean's gate tops and the color of the level icon brackets, or the fact that people noticed
funny thing is that i played the prototype on one the the website that i use to play old games and i noticed when i played it that there were already a lot of BIG changes to the levels and others so this video can get me more info about the prototype of the game (that i hate) and learning about it's history and might learn more about the prototype that i played months ago
My guess as to why there's prototype screenshots on Hal's website was because Hal didn't really make the game. Flagship made it and Hal didn't have a keen enough eye to tell what was the finished game or not.
I think the reason master sword Kirby had his hat removed was probably so people wouldn't think that the master sword ability was a reference to the master sword item seen in the legend of Zelda games!
3:15 one of us is color blind. That's literally the same orange as the lines on the bottom. And since you are saying that things on screen are two different colors I guess it's me.
If that's the case with ghost Kirby then it can certainly be possible that Animal could have also been originally introduced in this game but only magic got that chance but didn't have a full moveset till squeak squad. So amazing mirror probably could of been the game to introduce ghosts and animal along with magic but they probably didn't had enough time so they add it in squeak squad.
this has got to be THE best game on the GBA and dare i say the entire kirby series I wish future kirby games brought back things introduced in amazing mirror. I LOVED that the levels were non-linear. I liked having extra kirbies to help. Future Kirby games never really nailed the mood, aesthetic, and gameplay. Not even nightmare in dreamland. Amazing mirror was THE oddball but it was the best and its a shame theres nothing like it
@@GmNdWtchr96 yes I actually hate the point a point b point c standard of advancing levels. I liked that you’d take multiple paths and they’d naturally lead you to a different area. And all the levels are connected you just have to unlock them. That way you don’t play a level once. In future games your ONLY incentive to go back is to find secrets and 100% the game. Amazing mirror does this and more. It’s genius. And this is just personal but I’d get so immersed in the amazing mirror world. Everything connecting makes it feel like it’s an open world game. I’d even pretend Kirby had a little house whenever I’d see a boxed in area.
15:07 that's actually not the same one in the screenshots. The one in the screenshots said "mustard mountein". The one in the prototype says " mustard mountbin". I'm not joking, just look closer at the prototype graphic.
I wonder why there’s not a single mention of King Dedede in Kirby and The Amazing Mirror, not even a Mirror form. Especially since he’s a major part of the series.

That's very dark but good advice just randomly in a Kirby pause screen
Doesn't the bottom of the screen say "Continue game" in Japanese? I wonder if it's a placeholder Game Over screen.

@@tronitt The only other references of blood in the Kirby series are O (Kirby's Dream Land 3) and O2 (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards).

10:23 Tokkon is likely derived from the word "tokkou" (kamikaze attack). So it's probably a name for the jet enemy.
Great vid btw!
And stoppy is the perfect name for a clock-based enemy. Howd he get these two mixed up ??
@@andrew_stampsbecause the clock enemy is listed under tokkōn, and tokkōn is derived from the word for time (Toki) , mixed with the sound a clock makes as it ticks.
It is not derived from Tokkou lol
@hipkiddo1252 it sounds a lot more like "tokkou" than "toki"...and Stoppy...probably ain't even a stopwatch. xD
also Stoppy is called Stoppy on TCRF
7:53 The sword also has a green gem instead.
I still have yet to beat this game on the gba, so it’s nice to be reminded of it again since it’s a good game
Bro why are you everywhere 💀
Alternative title: "Kirby And The Amazing Prototype"
Or Togepi in The amazing mirror
Thats actually a nice title
Or Kirby in the Prototype Mirror
Kirby in prototype mirror
Starring: prototype meta knight prototype king dedede prototype Kirby
@@Neil-rl4lk prototype Togepi prototype piplup in prototype Pikachu
17:31 why is nobody talking about how unsettling this is?
8:00 That old design for the Master Sword ability likely harkens back to the Kirby anime. In that series, regular Sword Kirby and Galaxia-wielding Sword Kirby both have the green hat and similar transformation sequences.
And it's also a huge reference to Link

15:09 am I going crazy or does the demo text say "MUSTARD MOUNTBIN"
ah yes, the *stopwatch* enemy totally isnt Stoppy, because Stoppy the jetplane makes so much more sense than Stoppy the stopwatch
It's not a stopwatch haha
@@TetraBitGamingit still makes more sense being the clock to me
Sure, but it doesn't look like that's what's the developers were going for
Alright, so more research was done and apparently the old logic was wrong, Stoppy IS the watch lookin' fella!
That’s pretty well timed now that it’s got a release date for NSO
10:28 I think you got the names mixed up, *_Stoppy_* is the perfect name for a *_Stop Watch_*
nah, stoppy the jetplane makes soooo much more sense *obviously*
seriously tetrabit is usually good about this stuff idk how stoppy the jetplane happened in this vid
Edit: It was mixed up lol
@@edenengland1883 nah stoppy dee makes more sense
I love Kirby and the Amazing mirror. The conecpt of having a metroid vania styled kirby was always cool to me. I wouldnt mind if another Kirby game was made in a similar way
Somehow, I like to imagine Dark Meta Knight’s battle theme had a module effect to his song to make him feel creepy? That’s just how I feel lol
(13:20)
9:59 I'd say stoppy is probably not for the blue guy, but the stop watch guy instead
Just makes so much more sense

17:34 - OMG Kirby's bleeding!!!!
It makes way more sense for the watch enemy to be called Stoppy, even more so that he looks like a proper miniboss more than the prototype airplane one
9:08 In final release that instantly full charge hadueken active if you have 1 health
13:20 Id actually would listen to this version because of how unsettling it is 😭😭
Don't you think the enemy that resembles a Clock could have been called Stoppy....
Right?
14:50 またね is more see you later, I think it's literally something like "later right?"
This game was my first ever videogame so this video is gonna be *"Amazing"* for me
I just loved the little "Hollup. Let him cook" Woody meme in the corner at 6:28 right when he was talking about the Cook Copy Ability.😂😂😂
15:41
Skipping over the bloody sword? 😨
6:49 BEAM ATTACK
3:15 Mans doesn't know what orange looks like
I cannot believe it finally we got Kirby and the Amazing Mirror on the Nintendo Switch to complete all the games that we got for Kirby's 30th Anniversary So now all we need is just Kirby Triple Deluxe and Kirby Planet Robobot to be remastered with new epilogue modes for both Taranza and Susie and that's it
18:25 they brought back this idea with Kirby mass attack and Kirby fighters but without the blood and the phowa stuff
I find it interesting how this is my favorite Kirby game, and the 2003 prototype demo build was released on the day I was born 😂
I don't know what's weirder, the fact that they changed minor details like the ocean's gate tops and the color of the level icon brackets, or the fact that people noticed
6:48 BEAM ATTACK!!!
20:02 it’s normally because this is a "demo" so the arena that’s blocked isn’t finished.
Are we sure those enemy names are matched correctly? The little windup-looking fellow looks more like a STOPwatch to me.
funny thing is that i played the prototype on one the the website that i use to play old games and i noticed when i played it that there were already a lot of BIG changes to the levels and others so this video can get me more info about the prototype of the game (that i hate) and learning about it's history and might learn more about the prototype that i played months ago
Well, there you have it! The Amazing Mirror is yours!!
Sooner than I expected!
This is the only Kirby I own as a kid, beat 6 times and still got to this day
16:27 The fonts look really charming ngl. I would want a rom hacks with thoese fonts and maybe a version of it for english.
My guess as to why there's prototype screenshots on Hal's website was because Hal didn't really make the game. Flagship made it and Hal didn't have a keen enough eye to tell what was the finished game or not.
0:05 what us this song used?
10:20 It only really clicked after I saw the enemy, but I think トッコーン would be pronounced as Tock-on.
Master Kirby having had the Sword Hat is kinda reminescent of how he gets the same hat when using Galacta in the anime.
This game has my favorite Kirby soundtrack, no question (even if Superstar and Teiple Deluxe are close for me)
This was my fave Kirby game for awhile, so I can’t wait to watch!!!
15:07 nah first typo was mountein this one is mountbin
I think the reason master sword Kirby had his hat removed was probably so people wouldn't think that the master sword ability was a reference to the master sword item seen in the legend of Zelda games!
17:30 It reminds me of that Felix the Cat (HET) bootleg game over screen.
How convienient that you're doing this game especially since Nintendo is releasing the game on NSO next week.
3:17 Pink? But Isn't That Orange?
3:32 i think this was because someone took a footage from promotional video
i hope we get a lots bits for Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door in wake of the trailer release. ive always been curious about what's hiding in there
You should do a video on Kirby Mass Attack, it has A LOT of unused content.
Sounds cool!
I would have thought Stoppy was the clock
13:20 does anyone have a full version of the demo? i like the wavey synth better
man my favorite kirby game that i can finally know lost bits of it.
10:45 rip Mike ability being in K&TAM
I’m pretty sure stoppy was supposed to be for the clock. That would make more sense.
I hope this game gets a remake with split screen it’s so hard to play now
How has nobody made a creepypasta out of the escaped pause screen?
3:15 one of us is color blind. That's literally the same orange as the lines on the bottom.
And since you are saying that things on screen are two different colors I guess it's me.
no it's definitely orange and not pink
Gz on 700k!!

So amazing mirror probably could of been the game to introduce ghosts and animal along with magic but they probably didn't had enough time so they add it in squeak squad.
14:32 NO WAY 😧😧😧😧😧
I remember playing this on my aunt's game boy, my favorite level was, and still is, candy constellation
Always a good day when TBG uploads!
I always loved this game as a young gremlin.
LostBits Nintendo has announced it's release today for September 29
And they added online play to it ❤
Rest in peace pink platform, you will always be my favorite

4. Orange
And 5. Green
Wow. My fav Kerb game. I remember how i played it at school. I remember how it took months to did a 100%
Oh the Smash logo was a nice touch
My favorite gameboy game I played it so much as a kid this video is so cool to me
6:49 beam attack you say?
Hal must have some issues with properly dating archive footage
this has got to be THE best game on the GBA and dare i say the entire kirby series

17:36 is blood concerning?
Cool a vid one of my favorite kirby games thanks
one of my favorite in the series
Me too
3:16 ah yes pink
17:41 the murder of kirby is real
Amazing mirror and squeak squad are the most gangsta kirby games
Here it is, my favourite video game in general
ENERGY DRINK?!?! THOSE WHAT THIS THINGS ARE!?!? I THOUGHT THEY WAS PEPPER SHAKERS!!!!
This was my very 1st kirby game!
5:07 also Kirby's UFO ability looks different
What's better then one Kirby?
FOUR KIRBYS!!!! 💖💛❤️💚
Wouldn't it make more sense for the clock to be named Stoppy?
finally i've been dying for kirby lost bits
Pretty sure you got stoppy and tokkon mixed
15:07 that's actually not the same one in the screenshots.
The one in the screenshots said "mustard mountein".
The one in the prototype says " mustard mountbin".
I'm not joking, just look closer at the prototype graphic.
It looks like a b just how the empty spaces are next to the letter, but it's definitely an E not a B
I literally have no clue what you are talking about.
I wonder if for some reason they have to use the early prototypes/between because it weird it happened 3 time's.
My favorite Kirby game :)
I remember playing this game on a mobile ninendo emulator when i was young
17:20 what’s that song
Only true amazing mirror fans or ogs know about the amazing commercial for the game 💕
Dark Meta Knight's beta theme reminds me of Earthbound
I wonder why there’s not a single mention of King Dedede in Kirby and The Amazing Mirror, not even a Mirror form. Especially since he’s a major part of the series.
