Games[]
Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[]
Mechamech hovers about on its own, but if one spots a player, it attacks by firing lasers from its blaster cannons or by throwing out fireball mortars by opening its helmet.
Etymology[]
Mechamech's name is a compound of "mecha" and "mech," both abbreviations of the word "mechanical," which in Japanese science fiction often refers to a giant robot that is piloted and typically humanoid. "Mecha" is also the name of the Copy Ability it gives.
Its Japanese name, アーマロイド (Āmaroido), is a portmanteau of the Japanese name of the Copy Ability it gives, Armor (アーマー Āmā); and "android" (アンドロイド andoroido) or simply "droid," referencing its robotic appearance.
Trivia[]
- Mechamech's body is somewhat reminiscent of Susie's, being a limbless creature with a clear division between its head and body, floating hands, no mouth, and blue eyes.
