Enemy Weaknesses & Strategies

Learn how to defeat the Computer Virus in Kirby Super Star! This guide covers its attacks, the enemies it summons, and the best strategies to use.

Alright, let's talk about the Computer Virus! This boss can be a bit of a curveball, especially since it summons other enemies to do its dirty work. Think of it like a boss that's playing a game of summoner. ### The Setup The Computer Virus itself doesn't attack directly. Instead, it shows three windows on the screen: one for messages, one for the enemy it's summoning, and one for its own health. In _Kirby Super Star_, the windows look like old Mac OS, and in _Kirby Super Star Ultra_, they're updated to look like macOS. The enemies it summons are usually from RPGs. ### Enemies It Summons Computer Virus can call upon five different foes: * Slime: Pretty basic, mostly just fires stars you can inhale. Doesn't do much else. * Puppet (Dancing Doll in _Kirby Super Star_): Similar to the Slime, it mainly fires stars. Its other actions are pretty much harmless. * Magician (Witch in _Kirby Super Star_): This one's the real threat. It has several attacks that can really hurt you. It also has a move to reduce the damage it takes when it's your turn to attack. No wasted turns here! * Evil Knight: Wears purple armor (gray in _Kirby Super Star_) with a skull helmet. Carries a shield and a scimitar. Be careful, some of its attacks can get through your guard. * Great Dragon (Red Dragon in _Kirby Super Star_): A big dragon that has various attacks. ### Where You'll Find It You'll face the Computer Virus in a few spots: * The Great Cave Offensive: It's the boss of the Crystal Area. It starts by summoning the Slime, then the Puppet, and finally the Magician. * Milky Way Wishes: It's the boss of Halfmoon. This time, it summons the Magician first, then the Evil Knight, and finally the Great Dragon. * The Arena: You'll fight it here too, with the Milky Way Wishes lineup. * Helper to Hero: A recolored version appears here with a bit more health. * Meta Knightmare Ultra: You'll fight it twice, once in each of the main game modes it appears in. ### Strategies and Weaknesses * Inhale is Key: Most of the enemies it summons will fire stars. You can inhale these, so keep that in mind if you need a Copy Ability. * Magician is the Main Danger: Focus on dodging the Magician's attacks. It's the most dangerous of the summoned enemies. * Guarding: You can block most attacks. However, be aware that ice attacks, crescent projectiles, and the Evil Knight's knives can still deal a little damage even when guarding. * Perfect Avoidance: If you have the Mirror ability, its Reflect Guard is your best friend! It can completely nullify damage. Tac's Tac Hide also works wonders. * Copy Essences: Sometimes, random Copy Essences will appear when it's your turn to attack. Grab them if you need a specific ability! Don't get too flustered by the windows and the summoned enemies. Just focus on dodging, attacking the most dangerous foes, and using your abilities wisely. You've got this!
