Magolor		I'm from another dimension, but I just love Planet Popstar. I can't get enough of it!
Magolor		Things got a bit hectic when I first arrived, but that's all in the past, thanks to Kirby.
Magolor		To make up for all that fuss, I built Kirby a theme park right here in Dream Land!

Magolor		You know, some of those stages can be a bit difficult... Hmmm...
