As Kirby delves deeper into Neo Star's largest volcano, he reaches a volcanic crater. Magman arises from the lava and the fight begins. In the first phase, Kirby is confined to four small platforms while Magman stays in the background and out of Kirby's reach. Many [[Magoo]] arise from the lava at some parts during the battle, which can be inhaled and later used as ammo. Magman attacks by using the lava inside the arena to form pillars of lava which lift up the platforms and plow into Kirby, or surround the platforms and close in on them to ensnare Kirby with the lava. Attacking these pillars is the only way to damage Magman for the time being. After being damaged enough, Magman charges after Kirby until they reach a large platform of solid lava. In this phase, Magman fights Kirby himself, and as such, Kirby is able to damage him up close by hitting him in the face. At the beginning of phase two (as well as after every attack), Magman will turn into a pool of liquid lava and charge at Kirby, summoning three [[Burnis]] to battle right after. In addition to this and spewing out a large beacon of fire, Magman is able to cause rocks to fall from the ceiling. These rocks can be inhaled and used as ammo, and are often clustered in the vacuum, allowing Kirby to attack with multiple rocks at a time in the form of a cube-shaped projectile. After being defeated in this phase, Magman withers and cools into the solid rock of the arena, leaving Kirby with another [[Crystal Shard]].

Games

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

As Kirby delves deeper into Neo Star's largest volcano, he reaches a volcanic crater. Magman arises from the magma and the fight begins. In the first phase, Kirby is confined to four small platforms while Magman stays in the background and out of Kirby's reach. Many Magoo arise from the magma at some parts during the battle, which can be inhaled and later used as ammo. Magman attacks by using the magma inside the arena to form pillars of magma which lift up the platforms and plow into Kirby, or surround the platforms and close in on them to ensnare Kirby with the magma. Attacking these pillars is the only way to damage Magman during this phase. After being damaged enough, Magman charges after Kirby until they reach a large platform of solid magma. In this phase, Magman fights Kirby himself, and as such, Kirby is able to damage him up close by hitting him in the face. At the beginning of this phase (as well as after every attack), Magman will turn into a pool of liquid magma and charge at Kirby, summoning three Burnis to battle right after. In addition to this and spewing out a large beacon of fire, Magman is able to cause rocks to fall from the ceiling. These rocks can be inhaled and used as ammo, and are often clustered in the vacuum, allowing Kirby to attack with multiple rocks at a time in the form of a cube-shaped projectile. After being defeated, Magman withers and cools into the solid rock of the arena, leaving Kirby with another Crystal Shard.

Etymology
