Ruins

This article is about the area from the Dream Kingdom. For the theme from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, see Ruins (theme). For other uses, see Ruin.

The Ruins is one of the areas of the Dream Kingdom. It appears in both Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash, and is the third area unlocked in both games.

Description

The Ruins are set in a lush area deep in a forest under a clear sky. Abandoned stone structures dot the landscape. Notably, the ruins in the background resemble typical Kirby-style doorways, and the structures in the foreground somewhat resemble Champion's Codex volumes. A pair of large twin cliffs arc in like waves, framing the battlefield. A towering spire of stone looms from far in the distance. During nighttime, tiny glowing lights akin to fireflies are seen in the foreground and background, and the trees are shrouded in mist. A large full moon can occasionally be seen overhead.

In both Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Super Kirby Clash, the Ruins feature the second Ordeal of the game, being Whispy Woods and Parallel Nightmare, respectively. Notably, Whispy Woods is exclusively fought in the Ruins. The first encounter of the area in both games is with Colossal Double-Team, introducing the concept of team battles. This area is similar to the location where Whispy Woods is fought in the original Team Kirby Clash.
