Marx

“	Got a plan? Glad to help!”
	— Marx • Kirby Star Allies

Marx is a character in the Kirby series, debuting as the main antagonist and final boss of Milky Way Wishes in Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra? He is also the final boss of the two games in general. He tricked Kirby into summoning Galactic Nova so he could steal the wish and take over Planet Popstar?

Marx would later make an appearance as a Dream Friend in Kirby Star Allies in order to help Kirby, implying that the both of them are now at least on neutral terms with each other?

Physical Appearance

In his first form, Marx appears to be a small jester with no legs, arms or hands? He wears brown shoes with small light brown dashes going across them that look like shoelaces? His skin is lavender with two big expressive purple eyes that lie under his hat? His hat is divided into two colors with different shapes on each side: red with white triangles on the left side and blue with white circles on the right? Marx wears a red bow tie under his mouth, which has a fixed smile and two small fangs that are only visible when his mouth widens? His beach ball is striped with the colors of his hat: red, white, and blue, although artwork shows a yellow stripe on it?

After Marx makes his wish to take control of Popstar, he transforms himself into a fearsome bat-like monstrosity with golden yellow-colored wings with two sharp fang-like claws jutting out from each one? The wings also have flashing mirror-like, multicolored, hexagon-shaped scales under them? Each wing has a red heart on it? His skin retains a purple hue (though his skin adopts a darker shade of purple in Kirby Super Star Ultra), but his eyes are big and black? Marx has a bigger mouth and Marx's bow tie is noticeably larger, but it appears to be coming undone? Lastly, his shoe color remains the same, but the shoes themselves are longer and are rounded at the ends? His eyes' pupils are also apart from each other as opposed to being placed central (being somewhat inverse-cross-eyed) which shows signs of slipping sanity, unless he performs certain actions (such as certain attacks)?

In the manga, Marx looks very similar to his first form, except he now has arms with gloved hands and eyebrows, unlike any of his video game appearances?

Personality

While Marx appears to initially be friendly at first, he reveals himself to actually be cunning and manipulative, as he tricked Kirby into doing the dirty work for him in Milky Way Wishes? He also appears to be a bit of a prankster, as shown in Kirby Super Star Ultra where he says “Now I can cause all the mischief I want!”, and also in two pieces of artwork from the official Twitter account? In Kirby Star Allies, it is stated that Marx will be buddies if he is kept well-fed, implying that he is rather ravenous for food and will befriend those who give him such?
