Little is known about Kirby' "Zero-Two", but let's investigate this Kirby 64 ultimate nemesis in today's sax cover story - hear the cover; read the story! Since there is little revealed about Kirby's dark matter trilogy (which, for those keeping track at home, would be Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, all of which were directed by Shinichi Shimomura since the series' creator Masahiro Sakurai was working on Super Smash Bros at the time), there's actually surprisingly little lore available regarding these mysterious figures. However, based on what we do know about the Kirby series in general, we can try to piece together a few things: At best, we can say that the physics of the Kirby universe operates slightly differently than our own. Our own universe has "normal" baryonic matter that is affected by the four forces -- gravity, electromagnetism, strong nuclear force and weak nuclear force. Based on the properties of baryonic matter, we know this is not all there can be -- hence, "dark matter" has been hypothesized to make up the difference. This matter is "dark" because it interacts very weakly with typical matter -- since dark matter does not interact with electromagnetism (which is how we get light), it is invisible. In the Kirby universe, we must derive a 5th fundamental force -- wish power. The Kirby universe is full of the power of the will or "wish power" and how it can be used for good...but more often, for ill. Wish power is implied to be a part of the universe itself because it is attributed to stars -- in the same way that stars in our own conventional universe are the source of the matter that makes everything else up. In such a universe with 5 fundamental forces, how might dark matter interact with this 5th fundamental force? Does dark matter perhaps have a weakened or corrupted relationship with such? And if a dark matter being could become cognizant of wish power and interact with it through its interactions with baryonic matter beings, what could it do next?
