The company he built... I will bring it back!
— Susie • Kirby Star Allies

Susie is a character in the Kirby series, debuting as the secondary antagonist of Kirby: Planet Robobot, but would later become an ally. She is the current president and CEO (formerly the executive assistant and secretary) of the Haltmann Works Company, and the daughter of President Haltmann.

Physical Appearance[]

Susie has a small body with a large round head that floats, because she has no neck. She has a white face with big blue eyes, eyelashes, pink blush, and no mouth or nose. She has straight magenta hair that falls on her back, as well as long bangs, one held back by a golden hair clip. Susie wears a light gray business suit made of the metal Haltonium that wraps around her head almost like a hood. Two blade-like objects with red tips and orange screws connect to the side of the "hood"; these blade-like objects are apparently part of the visor-helmet that Susie wears when piloting her Business Suit mech (or when she steals Star Dream's controller). Susie wears a dark gray pencil skirt with no feet or legs. She has disconnected, floating hands, much like Magolor and Taranza have. She wears yellow-orange gloves that connect to metal cuffs with magenta buttons. Susie's hips are slightly wider than the rest of her body.

Personality[]

Susie is a sophisticated secretary who works hard at her goals and takes her tasks very seriously, to the point of completing them perfectly. Being more technologically advanced than the natives of Planet Popstar, she feels intellectually superior, being very prideful and egotistical, and hating when she loses. Though she uses etiquette when speaking, her ego occasionally shines through. Although she works hard at her job, Susie neglects things outside of work. She respects physical strength, especially when it works for her cause. She demonstrates "feminine" tendencies at times, such as giggling or singing "The Noble Haltmann" out loud when no one is around. Her voice is similar to President Haltmann's in that she has a normal human voice albeit intentionally bitcrushed to get a slightly computerized effect. Similarly, when speaking in text, the letters make beeps as they appear.

Her favorite food is ice cream, to an extent that she begged for the ice cream factory in Overload Ocean to be built. Her hobbies include singing karaoke and playing the piano. She also makes sure to wear her treasure, a golden hair clip with an H written on it, every day.[1] Additionally, Shinya Kumazaki revealed in an interview that her special talent is being able to get dressed five minutes after waking up.[2]

Her Guest Star description in Kirby Star Allies states that she is cool and collected, similarly to Francisca, and that she is all about business.

Relationships[]

Kirby[]

Susie Kirby

Susie has a low opinion of Kirby throughout the game, referring to him simply as "native." As a denizen of Dream Land, Kirby is considered unintelligent by the secretary and is constantly dismissed by her. However, when Star Dream turns sentient and heads into space to eradicate all life, Susie understands that Kirby is incredibly powerful and becomes an ally, giving him an Invader Armor in order to destroy the hostile machine. She also now refers to Kirby with her new nickname, "Pinky." Since then, the two have been on better terms.

In the Kirby of the Stars - Sparkling★Pupupu World Yonkoma manga, Susie's relationship with Kirby is complicated; she's antagonistic towards Kirby, but also appears to have a secret fondness for him, often eating with him or trying to impress him.

Meta Knight[]

Susie Meta Knight

After Access Ark shoots down the Halberd, it crashes between two cliffs directly beneath the Haltmann Works Company's mothership. Meta Knight is then captured.[3] Susie has few on-screen interactions with Meta Knight, though she finds his swordplay and might impressive. Due to his experience from being mechanized into a cybernetic security soldier for Susie, she seems to be the only being Meta Knight genuinely fears as he flees from her whenever Susie tries to interact with him, as shown in the title, file select, and menu screens in Kirby Star Allies. Susie appears interested in mechanizing Meta Knight again, or at least harmlessly studying him, as well as Dark Meta Knight. For this reason, Dark Meta Knight shares his counterpart's phobia of the secretary. As a result, it can be assumed that Meta Knight is still on uneasy terms with her.

President Haltmann[]

Susie President Haltmann

Susie is President Haltmann's daughter and secretary. Despite betraying Haltmann and attempting to sell the Mother Computer’s database, Susie still deeply cares for her father, as she says she did her actions in order to “teach the old man a lesson.” In Japanese, she also mentions wanting to make him pay, and make him come to his senses,[4] suggesting that she was hurt he no longer recognized her as his daughter, and wanted him to see her as such again. President Haltmann loved his daughter and was desperate to see her again. His frequent use of Star Dream's head-mounted controller gradually caused him to lose his memories. When Susie returned as an adult, he did not recognize her as his daughter. However, feeling she was somehow familiar, he appointed her as his secretary despite Susie lacking a resume.[5]

Star Dream[]

Susie Star Dream

Susie wholeheartedly trusts in the Mother Computer's judgment and programs—that is, until Kirby defeats Mecha Knight and Mecha Knight+, both of which shake her faith in the computer. However, this is all a facade, as she secretly planned to sell Star Dream to a start-up company for a huge profit. After it becomes self-aware and poses a threat to all forms of life, she sides with Kirby.

History[]

Before the events of Kirby: Planet Robobot, Susie was with her father, President Haltmann, who had recently begun performing tests on a machine he reactivated known as Star Dream. During one of these tests, presumably one for Star Dream's Space-Time Transport program, a terrible accident occurred, in which Susie was warped into Another Dimension. During her time spent there, she gathered data on the native Sphere Doomers, which she would later use for the Holo Defense API.

Susie eventually somehow returned from Another Dimension after growing up, aiming to be hired by the Haltmann Works Company, and easily passed their difficult exam, all while having no known resume.[6] However, President Haltmann no longer recognized her as his daughter due to losing his memories from the excessive use of an incomplete Star Dream in an attempt to bring her back to life after he thought she died in the incident. Nonetheless, he felt that she was somewhat familiar, and thus hired her as the secretary and executive assistant of his company, making her the only organic life form apart from Haltmann himself to hold a position of power in the company. Susie would later become the overseer of the company's Mechanizing Occupation Project, leading to the events of Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[]

Story[]

Susie Story 1

Susie holds Dedede Clone's capsule.

Detecting a large amount of unused energy and uncivilized natives, the Haltmann Works Company made Planet Popstar the next target of its Mechanizing Occupation Project, easily destroying Castle Dedede and blasting down the Halberd in the process of the invasion, leaving Kirby to go on a quest to restore his home to normal.

Kirby would not encounter Susie herself until Overload Ocean. There, Susie formally introduces herself to Kirby. Remarking her surprise to see a native out there, she explains the cause for the invasion and berates the natives of Popstar for taking its resources for granted, before exclaiming that Kirby must be destroyed. She summons her Business Suit and hops in before doing battle with Kirby in an attempt to eradicate him. Kirby prevails, destroying her Business Suit. After dusting herself off, Susie then calls a Transporter, which lifts her away as she laughs wickedly.

Making his way through Gigabyte Grounds, Kirby encounters Susie again, finding her singing the company's theme song, "The Noble Haltmann," out loud. She notices Kirby, introduces herself once more, and proceeds to tell him a story of when she met a powerful knight. It turns out that Susie had encountered Meta Knight, successfully captured him, and mechanized him into a cyborg security guard for the company, known as Mecha Knight. Susie calls down Mecha Knight, activates him, and uses her Transporter to fly away, leaving him to deal with Kirby.

At Rhythm Route, Kirby crosses paths with Susie yet again. She emerges from the floor, singing "The Noble Haltmann" out loud again, before turning to Kirby's direction. She introduces herself another time, and congratulates Kirby on defeating Mecha Knight, stating that she was impressed. However, she pulls out a capsule containing an orb of a purple, gooey substance, explaining that it was a clone of royal proportions. The Haltmann Works Company had apparently somehow obtained King Dedede's DNA, and used it to create a clone of him. Susie tosses the capsule into the air, unleashing Dedede Clone. She commands the clone to destroy Kirby before flying off with her Transporter.

Kirby eventually destroys all legs of the Access Ark and heads inside, ending up at the company's head office. There, Susie scolds him for entering as if it was his own living room and not having manners. She then calls down an upgraded Mecha Knight, now called Mecha Knight+. Susie tells Kirby of his upgrades before leaving and bidding farewell, forcing Kirby to battle his rival once more.

After freeing Meta Knight from the control of the Haltmann Works Company, Susie returns to the room, completely astonished at the fact that Mecha Knight was defeated twice. Infuriated, Susie then decides to take matters into her own hands by summing her mech suit to battle Kirby, but before she could do so, President Haltmann interrupts. As he heads over to Kirby, she greets him, but he coldly dismisses her. Following her orders, she leaves Kirby to Haltmann.

After Kirby defeats Haltmann, he flies into a rage and accesses Star Dream to terminate him once and for all. He puts on Star Dream's control helmet, but before he could use it, Susie flies in from nowhere and snatches the helmet off his head, causing him to lose consciousness. Susie then reveals that she had secretly been planning to steal Star Dream and sell its entire database to a start-up company for a large sum of money. She then puts the helmet on, but in a surprise turn of events, the machine turns sentient and blasts Susie with a laser, knocking her unconscious. Star Dream then takes control of Haltmann's body, uses it to explain that all life forms in existence must be wiped out to achieve eternal prosperity, and sets off into space.

Susie Story 2

Susie steals Star Dream's controller.

Susie recovers from the blast shortly afterwards and calls down an Invader Armor. Lamenting the unforeseen events, and refusing to be destroyed by the destructive computer, she tells Kirby to get in the armor and stop Star Dream. Kirby obliges and turns the Invader Armor into the Robobot Armor, before Meta Knight shows up with the Halberd. Kirby's Robobot Armor then absorbs the Halberd, transforming into the Halberd mode. It then sets off to stop Star Dream, with Susie pleading for Kirby to succeed.

After the battle with Star Dream, Kirby's home planet reverts back to normal, along with every other planet the Haltmann Works Company had invaded and mechanized. With things having been dealt with, Susie looks upon the restored world, and flies off into space in her Business Suit.

Battle[]

Susie serves as the boss of Overload Ocean in Story Mode and Meta Knightmare Returns, and is overall the third boss of the game. She pilots a tall battle suit with a screwdriver head at the bottom and two floating arms. Susie's Business Suit is purple and white, while Susie 2.0's is pink and peach with more detailed designs.

Story Mode[]

Susie's battle has three phases. In the first phase, Susie jumps around in an attempt to land on Kirby, then spins around the field. If Kirby does not defeat her before she is done with these attacks, she jumps into the air and fires explosive screwdriver heads at the ground and spins her arms around her in a wide arc.

When Kirby has depleted almost half of her health, Susie jumps into the center of the stage and rapidly twists the screwdriver head on the bottom of her suit. This raises the center of the stage into a tall column and converts the rest of the stage into a 3D ring. In the second phase, Susie deploys homing Drill Bits, spins around the column, and jumps around the ring with her Drill Bits. These Drill Bits can be inhaled for the Bomb ability.

When Susie is down to approximately 1/5 of her health, she creates four holes in the center column. In the third phase, Susie fires explosives that weave through the holes to confuse the player. Susie covers her head with the suit's hands and flies through the holes in the column. The energy generated inside the column changes the effect of her attack. If the energy is blue, she strikes the ground after exiting the hole, releasing shock waves. If the energy is purple, she will react one of two ways: If Kirby is away from the exit hole, she swoops past the ground outside it, but if Kirby is not, she strikes the ground, releasing taller and longer-lasting shock waves.

When Susie is defeated, her Business Suit explodes, she brushes herself off, and flies away on a getaway propeller, laughing.

Meta Knightmare Returns[]
Cannon DAuJLJbVYAER17h This section contains information that does not coincide with the main series canon. (Similar)

Susie 2.0 is fought in three phases. All of her phases largely reuse her attacks from Story Mode, but with her attacks' speed increased and their order scrambled. In the first phase, Susie 2.0's small spinning move can now cross the stage diagonally while her large spinning move can sway side to side.

In the second phase, Susie 2.0 deploys more explosives, hops more with her explosives, and moves across the circumference of the column more erratically. In the third phase, Susie 2.0 not only deploys more explosives, but also fires an array of them into the air, where they then hit the entire ring one at a time. Susie 2.0 disregards the formula for crashing and not crashing when flying through the column; instead, she now swoops through several times and always crashes when she's done with the pattern, creating blue or purple shockwaves when she strikes the ground. She also specifically aims for the player when doing this.

In Meta Knightmare Returns, Susie and her explosives yield Meta Points when destroyed.

In The True Arena, Kirby can inhale Susie 2.0's screw tips for Bomb or her Drill Bits for Spark.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe[]

Cannon DAuJLJbVYAER17h This section contains information that does not coincide with the main series canon. (Similar)

While Susie doesn't make an appearance in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, a doppelganger named Parallel Susie appears as a boss. If the player has save data from Kirby: Planet Robobot, he/she can buy the Haltonium Helm and Susian Bolt Blade in the Shoppe. These pieces of gear are accessible to the Sword Hero class. They are based on Susie's hair and hood, and her battle armor, respectively.

Kirby Battle Royale[]

Susie can be seen watching over the battles on the Rocket Rumble mode. This cameo can be largely attributed to the mode's space theme, as it ties in with Susie's backstory.

Aside from the main game, Susie is also the host in the official guide video, along with Bandana Waddle Dee.

Kirby Star Allies[]

KSA Susie blocks

Susie returns as a Dream Friend in Kirby Star Allies looking to rebuild the fallen Haltmann Works Company. The English version incorrectly states that, following in the footsteps of President Haltmann before her, Susie remains undeterred in advancing her mission of mechanizing new planets and people alike. However, the original Japanese version of her Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! description instead states that she'll provide happy lives and family harmony with the power of science, and under such a philosophy, will exterminate the "savages," and makes no specific mention of her continuing Haltmann's plans, though it is possible that she seeks to continue her father's work for benevolent purposes. Her moves are derived from her boss fight in Kirby: Planet Robobot, her Transporter device, and her H.W.C. Blaster.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[]

Susie appears as two Dress-Up Masks in Merry Magoland: one is based on her normal appearance (Susie) and the other is based on a new casual appearance (Susie (Weekend Outfit)). When worn, both masks change the player character's voice.

The Susie mask is unlocked after completing the 11th card of the Stamp Rally, and the Susie (Weekend Outfit) mask is unlocked after clearing 80 missions, as well as a golden statue of Susie in the plaza.

In the Super Smash Bros. series[]

SSBUl Spirit Fight Susie

Spirit battle

Susie appears as an Advanced-class support spirit in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Her spirit can be obtained by fighting a pink Isabelle (referring to her role as a secretary) and a navy metal Meta Knight (referring to Mecha Knight). When applied to a fighter, the fighter will have a Beam Sword equipped. In World of Light, she has the ability to open the entrance to the Base sub-world, which is necessary for the player to progress through the mode.

Etymology[]

Susie's name is derived from the Japanese word for digit, すうじ/数字 (Sūji). This is meant as a reference to the Haltmann Works Company's use of technology as weaponry. Director Shinya Kumazaki wanted to choose a real woman's name as well. He found that the nickname Susie is frequently used outside of Japan, which coincided with the Haltmann Works Company being foreign to Planet Popstar. Other potential names included Beatrice and Melissa.[8]

  • In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Clawroline almost perfectly parallels with Susie from Kirby: Planet Robobot: they both serve as the third main boss of that game, are female characters that first starts off as a major antagonists before later on becoming allies with Kirby and have an impotent connection with the game's formal main antagonist (Susie: Haltman, Clawroline: Leongar). Furthermore, both characters in their boss battles have similar move sets, with their first phase having both a charge attack and a stomp attack, and later on using projectiles from a high ground in the second phase after losing a certain amount of health.
  • In Kirby Star Allies on the title, file select, and menu screens, Susie can sometimes be seen chasing Meta Knight around before Dark Meta Knight shows up, in which whom she then chases after instead. This is a reference to when Susie mechanized Meta Knight into Mecha Knight in Kirby: Planet Robobot.
    • Also in Kirby Star Allies in the title, file select, and menu screens, Susie can sometimes be seen paired with Meta Knight and Kirby as they strike a pose. This is a reference to Kirby: Planet Robobot.
    • Susie chasing Dark Meta Knight might be a reference of how Stock Mecha Knight resembled Dark Meta Knight by color palette.
  • While playing as Susie in Kirby Star Allies, when walking or dashing, Susie emits footstep sounds, despite not having any visible limbs that contact the ground. Vividria also has this trait.
