Artwork featuring Magolor, alongside the Lor Starcutter, an Energy Sphere, Kirby, King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee, Meta Knight, Landia with the Master Crown, a Sphere Doomer, and Super Blade Knight.

This artwork is the cover, with and without the title shown*, for the light novel "Kirby of the Stars: The Starcutter and the Lying Wizard", which is also known as Kirby: Lor Starcutter and a Magician of Falsehood". (April 2022)

Now, the REAL reason I'm making this post is much more exciting. I was able to track down some obscure wallpapers that were released in Japan alongside the novel! One was available from Kadokawa, and the other from Amazon JP! I was unfortunately only able to find the "Sample" versions of them, but they are full resolution, and the Amazon version allows us to easily isolate the artwork of both Magolor and the Lor Starcutter featured on the novel cover artwork!

I believe this is the first time that this artwork of Magolor has been isolated online, and it has only been done to a much lower level of quality for the Lor! Please enjoy them both, and use them however you like!

Oh, and here's both of the sample wallpapers too:

If anyone reading this has access to the non-sample versions of these wallpapers, or manages to track them down, PLEASE let me know so I can use them myself and add them here.

Finally, just for fun, here's a little banner version of the novel cover used on the website that announced it:

Thank you all very much for reading this post! See you around!

*Unfortunately the version without the title on it is only available at a lower resolution, but such is life.

A drawing of mine! Thank you from the very bottom of my heart for voting to allow me to reblog things like it to this archive. It will be properly tagged to ensure it isn't mixed in with the real archival material, so don't worry!

I poured a lot of effort into this drawing. I'm truly happy with how it ended up, and I really hope you like it!

Deliverance

Completed: 17th of May 2025

Magolor's Fun Facts #3!

Hi there, everyone! This is the second post in the Magolor's Fun Facts series, where I post interesting and obscure facts about Magolor!

This one is a little different from the last two, and is really more about the Master Crown than Magolor himself, but I hope you'll enjoy it anyway!

Here I aim to clear up a (likely) misunderstanding that I've seen floating around from time to time in the last couple of years.

While the majority of people already probably understand this, it is highly likely that the true name of the Master Crown in its Tree Crown without a Ruler form is Mistilteinn.

I point this out because some people instead believe that Mistilteinn is referring to the sword that Magolor wields at the end of the battle. This is because Mistilteinn is also the name of a sword in an old Norse legend.

However, when translated from Norse into English, Mistilteinn also means Mistletoe. And what is Mistletoe? A parasitic plant which grows on trees, especially apple trees. Which is EXACTLY what the Master Crown is in this battle! In fact, the Japanese version of the Master Crown's Special Page even outright says that it's become mistletoe to the red fruit!*

Also, the name of the attack the Master Crown uses involving many red lasers, according the official Japanese guidebook, is "憎悪ぞうおと執念しゅうねんのミストルティン", which translates to "Mistilteinn of Hatred and Obsession". The "Hatred and Obsessions" of prior rulers is what the crown is said to contain on Magolor Soul's special page in Extra Mode, and it wouldn't make sense for this attack name to refer to the sword that Magolor uses. If that wasn't enough, the attack itself and its name are also a direct reference to the attack Void Termina uses where it fires similar lasers from something that looks like a huge Master Crown. In the guidebook the attack is called "憎悪ぞうおと執念しゅうねんのミストルティン", which translates to "Crown of Evil and Obsession".

Oh, and obviously, the theme for the battle with the Master Crown is titled "Mistilteinn, Tree Crown without a Ruler". But I'm sure most of you already knew that.

It is very much possible, even likely if you ask me, that the name Mistilteinn was partially chosen to call Magolor's sword to mind as well, similar to how "Two Planets Apporach the Roche Limit" in Kirby and the Forgotten Land refers to the section of the battle AFTER the one it plays in, but Mistilteinn is almost definitely the name of the Master Crown as the Tree Crown without a Ruler rather than the sword itself.

Welcome to the merry, magical world of Magolor!

Hi there, everyone!

This account was formerly named daily-official-magolor, but I found daily posting was a little too much for me and, as such, I shifted to posting only when I feel like it or find something particularly notable.

I post official renders and artworks as possible, for archival and public accessibility purposes! Some images will be widely available and known ones but some have been, and hopefully more will be, available for the very first time here!

When the opportunity arises, I will also encourage support for Magolor in polls and provide other community support via "bonus archives" here and there!

Archive, announcement, and non-archive content will be tagged as such.

See you around, folks!

[official-magolor-archive]

Hello, everyone. I am deeply sorry for the near-radio silence recently... I've been a very busy guy!

But I haven't forgotten about this archive. Magolor matters a lot to me. I plan to get back into the swing of things at some point during May or June, but maybe I'll make a couple of posts before then if I find the time.

Stay tuned!

Magolor Nintendo DREAM.

Hello! I thought I should share this article from Nintendo DREAM. Nintendo DREAM is a magazine from Japan all about Nintendo! I'm pretty sure it isn't actually official, but they work pretty closely with Nintendo for interviews and the like.

I wanted to share this article in particular because it really reinforces a lot of my own thoughts on Magolor that either aren't outright stated in-game and/or that people often get wrong.

To summarise, says multiple times that Magolor and Kirby are very good friends, talks about how powerful and cute and playful Magolor is, it talks about his love for himself and his general friendly cheeriness, it shows his competence, and it talks about his great communication skills…

What a great article! (You can just use your browser's translation feature to read this article. Most of it is pretty much correct, outside of some names and pronouns.)

Magolor's Fun Facts #2!

Hi there, everyone! This is the second post in the Magolor's Fun Facts series, where I post interesting and obscure facts about Magolor!

This one certainly isn't an entirely new discovery like Magolor's Fun Facts #1 was, but it's obscure and fun nonetheless.

This fact is... Magolor News, a series of 9 articles published on the official Japanese Nintendo website to promote Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. All of these but one are intended to have been written by Magolor himself during his time in the Dream Kingdom.

While plenty more happens or is discussed, I'll just be summarising some of the highlights here!

• Magolor frequently talks about or insinuates how great, kind, popular, etc. he is. My favourite examples of this are when he talks about how moved everyone was when they played songs related to him at the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert and when he assumes the reason for the reader's sadness is that they haven't seen him in a while. • Says he's just a weak general store owner (which is an obvious lie). • Magolor tells the reader that Kirby recently turned 25, and that he hopes readers will celebrate his own 25th Birthday/ Anniversary soon.* • Makes readers solve puzzles for Gem Apple passwords in one article to make up for their "greed" in using previous ones. • Explains how to defeat Taranza and says he isn't very strong. The machine translation I'm using even ended up giving me the line "Let's beat up Taranza!" • Susie, seemingly the main-dimension one as seen in Kirby: Planet Robobot, not Parallel Susie, is transported to the Dream Kingdom through a Dimensional Rift. She puts the planet on the list for the Mechanisation Occupation Project and while Magolor is away, she takes over the Shoppe, redecorates it with pink sparkles, puts gear based on her on display in place of the Magolor-themed gear, and eats Gem Apples that were for sale after turning them into sorbet. Magolor chases her away upon returning, but apparently she was very noisy. • At the very end of the final article, Magolor asks to stay friends with the readers.

Again, those are some of the highlights, but there's plenty more guides and fun moments which I implore you to read using your browser's translation tool! It'll be a bit rough, but the vast majority of it makes sense. Here's the link to the first article!

See you around and a take a GREAT BIG THANK-YOU from me for reading Volume #2 of Magolor's Fun Facts!

*NOTE: I am using machine translation. Based on context I do believe Magolor is saying that Kirby actually turned 25 , even pointing out how surprising that is, and he says that he "wants" (likely meaning he's just fooling around and/or wants to be in the spotlight like Kirby was) to have his own 25th anniversary soon, but it could be intended a bit differently. Anyway, if anyone who can speak/translate Japanese has anything to say about this, please let me know whenever you can! It's at the end of the second Magolor News article.

Archival 28, 15th of November 2024

Artwork of Magolor which was posted by Satoshi Ishida on the official Kirby: Triple Deluxe "Behind the Scenes" Special Miiverse Community in October of 2015 to commemorate the 4th anniversary of the release of Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It was posted in America on the 23rd of October, on the 25th in Europe, and on the 27th in Japan, which was each region's respective release date for the game.

This illustration was by Monami Matsuura, who was in charge of modelling and animation for Magolor's main form in the original Wii version of Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Everyone! Image Hunters Z #2

Hi there, everyone! This is the second "Everyone! Image Hunters Z" post where I ask for YOUR help in finding images for archival!

If you aren't aware, the fan-translations of the Kirby Light Novel "Come On Over to Merry Magoland" has been (intentionally) removed.

Please do not attempt to contact the translator, but the translation of Chapter 4 and the high quality images that were included with it seems to be lost. If anyone has the images saved and/or the translated text itself, I'd really appreciate if you sent it my way!

I went looking and no one archived the chapter on the Wayback Machine...

I have a physical copy of the book myself, but I'd rather not tear it apart for a scan, not do I have the correct machines to get the images in such high quality.

Thank you!

Magolor's Fun Facts #1!

Hi there, everyone! I'm starting a new experimental series of posts on this blog that will all be obscure facts about Magolor! Some may be more well known than others, but I have one or two that I haven't seen documented before as well! Let's get on with the first one, ya?

The form of Magolor pictured above in GIF form is known as Magister Magolor! Magister is Latin for "Master" or "Teacher", so it makes perfect sense. I feel it rolls off the tongue very nicely!

I found this information within the files of Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. The textures for his extra clothing on this model are labelled as "MagisterOutfit"! Evidence is below the "Keep Reading" option. See you around and a take a GREAT BIG THANK-YOU from me for reading Volume #1 of Magolor's Fun Facts!

Evidence:

As far as I can find, no one else has documented this!

Photographs containing official Magolor drawings seen at a Pupupu Train event. They seem to be from one of the 2018 Pupupu Train events and there were more that didn't feature Magolor. Unfortunately, I lost my source for these.

The bubble on the left of the second image roughly translates to "Mr. Magolor starts doing business on the side of the road without permission."

Unfortunately creased closeup of one of the drawings. Source: http://hosimaruiroha.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-45.html

Thank you for sharing! I'm not at all surprised about that talk, hee hee. He's very lovely.

I think I've seen the concept art you're talking about. It's really cool!

Seems to actually be Kumazaki, I didn't know he had accounts! This Magolor stuff is really cool. Wish I could've seen it.

[official-magolor-archive]

Not an archival, but I feel this is interesting and worth sharing. As you can see, I got a little bit overexcited on my main account!

I wonder if any other sizes of the Shopkeeper Magolor plush, or a large version of the regular one for that matter, will ever be released.

I also found this close-up photo, courtesy of @dededaio. It seems King Dedede gave Magolor permission to run his Shoppe in Dream Land! I wonder if he ever ran one there in the game canon (assuming Pupupu Train isn't canon), before (or alongside) his Amusement Park business?

Just thought I'd let everyone know I have a really great archival scheduled for Sunday. I'll see if I have anything ready to post now, but either way I have some more things in the works!
