Team Kirby Clash Deluxe/Kirby's Blowout Blast/Kirby: Battle Royale

[Dekkadeci]

So Kirby Battle Royale already came out. Storyline spoilers inside:

Spoiler

• King Dedede's got a Kirby Printer, which spews out (probably inferior) different-coloured duplicates of Kirby with copy abilities already equipped, but possibly without the capability to eject copy abilities and absorb new ones. Guess this printer doesn't make Waddle Dees for some reason.
• Kind of like King Dedede getting a magic fire hammer in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Bandana Waddle Dee's got a magic water parasol.
• Kirby's gotta slog through multiple Leagues' worth of competitors.
• Meta Knight managed to get to the Gold League before figuring he wants a real challenge and commits competitive suicide by challenging Kirby (and Bandana Waddle Dee). He's accompanied by Axe Knight for the tournament. Meta Knight says he joined the tournament to test his strength and possibly get stronger.
• King Dedede seemingly wants to continue his rivalry with Kirby, so he's the last competitor before Kirby can win cake. The king gets pretty salty and angry to boot.
• King Dedede eventually pilots a Robo Bonkers-like mech called Dededestroyer Z. Kirby still defeats him, though. Bandana Waddle Dee does help out by pushing in a sparkly cannon, though.
• Kirby actually does accept the initial cake as a prize instead of asking for a bigger cake.
• Meta Knight reports earlier that "These (Kirby) copies are pathetic." This might actually have been foreshadowing--when the Kirby Printer explodes after Kirby blows up Dededestroyer Z, all the Kirby copies it created explode soon afterwards.

Turns out that the playable character roster consists of versions of Kirby with different copy abilities, a random Waddle Dee with a magic water parasol, Meta Knight, and King Dedede. Now for a tier list to sort itself out....
