The Dimension Mirror is an important item and the final level in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, following Candy Constellation. It later appears in the Dededetour sub-game of Kirby: Triple Deluxe. It is the gateway between the normal and the Mirror World, and is behind the creation of Dark Meta Knight. Consequently, the mirror has been corrupted by Dark Mind during Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, which lead to it only reflecting bad things.
Games[]
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[]
In the introductory cutscene, the Dimension Mirror is depicted with a sinister face in its reflection, and that the peaceful Mirror World is now in chaos. Meta Knight flies to the Mirror World to protect Dream Land from a similar fate, but is stopped by his evil shadow, Dark Meta Knight; after losing a duel to his doppelgänger, Dark Meta Knight seals him in the Dimension Mirror, then shatters it into eight Mirror Shard to prevent him from escaping. After Dark Meta Knight departs Central Circle, where the Dimension Mirror rests, Shadow Kirby arrives at the scene and follows him; shortly thereafter, Kirby and his newfound copies arrive.
The Dimension Mirror can only be entered once all of the Mirror Shards are collected from the game's bosses; in multiplayer, all players additionally need to be in close proximity to the Dimension Mirror for it to be entered. Players cannot leave the Dimension Mirror by calling a Warp Star, but can still use the Cell Phone to call the other Kirbys. Upon entering the completed mirror, Dark Meta Knight makes a final confrontation with Kirby (and co.), initially disguising himself as the captured Meta Knight before the real Meta Knight calls his bluff. Once Dark Meta Knight is defeated, to which he shatters into pieces, the battlefield begins to tremble and a hole suddenly appears, sucking in (the) Kirby(s). Meta Knight then quickly rushes and throws the Master Sword into the hole, allowing Kirby to use it to combat the true mastermind behind the Mirror World's chaos, Dark Mind; the Master Sword must be acquired for the fight to start. Dark Mind is fought in his first form four times, with a break room between each fight that features puzzles, food items, and the Dimension Mirror that leads to the next battle; the rooms have themes reminiscent of Radish Ruins, Cabbage Cavern, and Peppermint Palace, respectively. If the Master Sword is lost between fights, it will reappear in the boss arena and must be picked up once again. After defeating Dark Mind's first form four times, he reveals his second form; if the Master Sword is not present, Shadow Kirby will appear and throw it into the arena, however it does not need to be picked up this time. Once Dark Mind's second form is defeated, he flies off into his third form, to which (the) Kirby(s) pursue him using (the) Warp Star(s). After Dark Mind's final form is defeated, the Mirror World is restored to its original glory and the ending plays.
The Mirror Shards are collected by defeating each of the game's bosses. There are eight shards that can be collected. Clockwise from the top, they are from:
- King Golem in Moonlight Mansion
- Gobbler in Olive Ocean
- Moley in Cabbage Cavern
- ??? in Radish Ruins
- Mega Titan in Carrot Castle
- Wiz in Peppermint Palace
- Master Hand & Crazy Hand in Candy Constellation
- Kracko in Mustard Mountain

The Dimension Mirror makes an appearance in the Dededetour sub-game. After King Dedede defeats Queen Sectonia DX in Royal Road, the Dimension Mirror appears and creates a darker version of the king, known as Shadow Dedede, that promptly engages Dedede in a fierce duel. After Shadow Dedede is shattered to pieces, King Dedede enters the mirror into the same colosseum Dark Meta Knight's last battle was fought in in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, and faces off against the dark knight himself. Upon his defeat, Dark Meta Knight is sucked back into the Dimension Mirror; to prevent his escape, King Dedede shatters the mirror, ending Dededetour.
According to director Shinya Kumazaki, Queen Sectonia's tyrannical personality stemmed from excessive gazing into the Dimension Mirror. after Taranza stole it from the Mirror World and gave it to her as tribute[1]
Canonicity[]
The Dimension Mirror's inclusion in Dededetour is not canon as the aforementioned sub-game is also non-canon; however, its behind-the-scenes relevance that lead to Queen Sectonia's tyranny is still canon.
