Revision as of 01:12, 25 July 2016
Moonja is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It yields the Ninja ability when inhaled.
Physical Appearance
Moonja is a stout purple ninja with a silver headband, peach skin, and purple eyes. It also has white feet that each have two toes.
Games
Kirby's Return to Dream Land
Moonja is usually hidden and will reveal itself when Kirby approaches it. The enemy then hops around briefly before throwing a single shuriken. This shuriken travels in a straight line, and can be destroyed with a Copy Ability. Moonja will then vanish in a puff of smoke. It reappears shortly after and repeats the process. Some Moonjas found in the game will permanently cling to a wall, hurling a steady stream of shurikens. If one of these enemies is knocked off the wall it is clinging to, it will begin to use its normal hopping and throwing strategy. A Moonja that is knocked off a wall will never disappear.
Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition
Moonja appears in the New Challenge Stages mode, specifically in the Smash Combat Chamber. The enemy's appearance and behavior have not changed since Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
Kirby: Triple Deluxe
Moonja looks and acts exactly as it does in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, with the addition of one new technique: when Moonja disappears, it can reappear on a different plane from the one it was standing on originally.
Kirby: Planet Robobot
Moonja appears in this game.
Etymology
Moonja's name is a portmanteau of the words moon, referring to mysteriousness associated with ninja, and ninja, referring to the enemy's appearance and abilities.
Trivia
- Moonja bears a striking resemblance to Benikage, a ninja character from Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.
- Notably, Kirby's Return to Dream Land internally refers to Moonja as Tsukikage, furthering the resemblance.
- A Moonja in Stage 2 of Nutty Noon -- found in the first room of the level -- is the only Moonja in Kirby's Return to Dream Land programmed not to vanish after appearing; if Kirby does not defeat it, it will continue to jump around and throw shurikens.
