| “ | Formed from strong psychic energy and modeled on specific memories of his role in the real world, this phantom copy of Sillydillo will forever wander Forgo Dreams, searching high and low for Elfilin and Kirby... At least its dance moves are still impressive!” |
| — Gotcha Figurine Description • Kirby and the Forgotten Land |
Phantom Sillydillo is a boss in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It's an illusory copy of Sillydillo formed by the dreams of Fecto Forgo.
Physical Appearance[]
Phantom Sillydillo is identical in general appearance to the regular Sillydillo, but - like the other Phantom bosses - has a wildly different, almost neon color scheme vaguely reminiscent to that of Fecto Forgo themself. Phantom Sillydillo has pink fur and a blue shell, and its claws and tongue are purple. Phantom Sillydillo's eyes are black with concentric pink and white circles, similar to the eyes of the various enemies assimilated by Fecto Forgo's chimera form. The signs on Phantom Sillydillo's back are pink, white, and black rather than the relatively realistically colored signs on its prototype.
General Information[]
Phantom Sillydillo is a copy of Sillydillo created to guard some of the shards of Leon's soul scattered around Forgo Dreams. As with the other Phantom bosses Kirby encounters in Forgo Dreams, Phantom Sillydillo is modeled after specific memories of the boss it is based on and thus apparently lacks most of the fun loving nature of Sillydillo, instead being perpetually bent on searching high and low for Kirby and Elfilin throughout the Isolated Isles.
Games[]
Kirby and the Forgotten Land[]
Phantom Sillydillo is fought at the end of Forgo Wasteland, serving as a harder version of Sillydillo. The introduction to the fight is an abbreviated version of the one for Sillydillo, with Kirby cautiously entering the room (sans any replicas of Elfilin to bait him in) before Phantom Sillydillo drops in behind him and attacks.
Its first phase is similar to that of Sillydillo, but begins with a new attack; it can pull out several fake Kirbys, run towards Kirby, and throw them at him. The Kirbys can be inhaled by the real thing but will explode after several seconds. Phantom Sillydillo's cage move now comes out much faster as well, and Kirby has less time to escape the cage before Phantom Sillydillo smashes the cage to the ground for an instant one-hit KO to Kirby.
Once Phantom Sillydillo loses about a quarter of their health, they destroy the floor in a similar fashion to Sillydillo, causing both it and Kirby to fall into a larger cave below and setting off the second phase of the fight. As with Sillydillo, Phantom Sillydillo begins this phase by curling into a ball and attempting to ram Kirby three times in a row; this attack is somewhat faster than Sillydillo's version, but the major difference is that Phantom Sillydillo will skid to a stop at the end of the third roll instead of crashing into the wall like Sillydillo did, giving Kirby far less time to damage them before Phantom Sillydillo moves on to their next attack.
Once Phantom Sillydillo is down to only a third of its health, they will screech and leap to the open end of the arena. After landing, Phantom Sillydillo performs a dance that summons a sandstorm, severely impairing visibility for the rest of the fight; they follow this up by pulling out a Homemade Dance Partner (which, unlike Sillydillo, they never flirt with) and spinning wildly around the room for an extended period before stopping and throwing two dance partners in succession at Kirby, after which it usually moves on to its rolling attack. Compared with Sillydillo's versions of these attacks, the spinning attack lasts longer and is slightly faster, and the thrown dance partners also move slightly faster than those of the original boss.
Trivia[]
- Phantom Sillydillo's Gotcha Capsule description uses both "his" and "its" to refer to Phantom Sillydillo; however, the normal Sillydillo Gotcha Capsule description only uses "it" to refer to Sillydillo.
- There is a possibility that the usage of "his" could be a mistake, as the pronoun is only used once. However, the Handmade Dance Partners both bosses dance with are all modeled as notably feminine, and Phantom Sillydillo can be seen flirting with one the first time they use the attack, perhaps suggesting that the more commonly used pronoun of "it" is intended to refer to the boss' strange nature rather than their gender.
