Marx is the best Kirby character

Let's go over the facts.



1.) He's a final boss...that is NOT some sort of evil creature like Dark ____. There's a lot of sealed dark evil monsters in this series.
2.) He got the sun and the moon to fight. Let me remind everyone that the sun and the moon fought together against Kirby in the past. They're good friends, not normally rivals. Therefore, Marx is probably a really good troll.
3.) He is bouncing on a ball when he first appears. What is the significance of this ball? He convinced Nightmare to give it to him. Yes, that is what happened.
4.) He got Kirby to summon Nova. Kirby just followed his idea, no background check at all. He was that convincing.
5.) He only wanted to rule Popstar, not the universe. He could have done the universe, but he didn't. He wants to cause mischief, not be a dictator. **** Aquastar, he doesn't live there.
6.) He doesn't make a big deal out of anything. He talks about making the sun and the moon fight like it was something he does everyday before breakfast. When you damage Nova, he isn't angry at all. When you beat him, there is no hissyfit...well, there may be one later.
7.) He laughs throughout the battle. It doesn't matter if the battle is just beginning, or if he's getting his ass kicked: he just laughs. Except for one jarring exception.
8.) His attacks are a bit...odd. He throws knives, grows plants, shoots lasers, creates black hole...things, tosses scythes and eventually uses Drawcia's attacks. Maybe I'm making a big deal out of nothing or just being dumb but there is literally no theme to his moveset. It's like he conned random enemies everywhere for abilities.
9.) Marx Soul never seems to "spawn" in the same location. I think he always opens with his black hole...thing, though. This isn't big.
10.) The Marx Soul Howl. The Kirby series has it's share of Nightmare Fuel, and for me this one is one of the more noticeable ones. Remember, Marx was basically Mr. Laughtrack, even after dying and returning as Marx Soul. Here it is for your viewing pleasure. Sorry it's so quiet.

10+.) Now, let us look at this from a story-like point of view. Marx was a mischievous guy: laughing all the time. He has a dark view of things, seeing the most violent and appalling things as hilarious. The first time you battle him he does not learn his lesson, and dies learning nothing. He thus comes back as an eviler, darker creature who still finds fighting fun. He is the very reincarnation of Marx's twisted views. But then...you finally deal the final blow. He learns. He knows that this **** isn't fun and games. This is war, this is battle, and people die. He realizes this as lets out a scream of intense pain, as he is destroyed. Yeah.

I always thought he was the best Kirby character, too. The only one which came close was O^2, who ripped off Marx, part and parcel.
