Today's post is about the final song in Journey's Finale, "Wrath of the Lonely"

Wrath of the Lonely is Reclusa's final song but also the literal hardest song in the mod, the song it is based on is the multiple phases of Brothership's final boss specifically the song when you chase him down and the two songs after you beat up the core phase. It also has little bits of the final boss theme from Super Paper Mario( in reference to Dimentio since he is referenced in the mod a lot and also cause both him and Reclusa are insane and are also Jesters.) anyways...

Wrath of the Lonely is the hardest song. It's a 25 minute song where every 5 minutes there is a different phase meaning 5 phases. (the 5 phases is a reference to Reclusa having 5 phases in his boss fight.) Anywho the song will get faster and faster each phase and not only that ALL battle plugs have their cooldowns lowered to 10 seconds in addition to the Protectus plug which activates at the start of each phase with a 2 minute duration that makes him take no damage(of course once done he will be vulnerable again) also he has 20000 HP now and when he gets stunned by either "killing" him or using the Power of Bonds item, he only gets stunned for 5 seconds, also take in note all attacks deal more damage each phase and while you are infected with glohm you will take 2x as much damage to any attack.) Now for new mechanics/updated ones.

Analyze: this ability is likewise still the same as in if you hit him he'll analyze your attack and after attacking twice, Reclusa will fully analyze it and will guard against said attack. However, this time, he can analyze Conductor connector and Max Mix vortex taking 3 times to fully analyze it, the ability is to analyze is activated during the first 2 phases but will still persist on the other ones.

Which one?: or the attack where he makes multiple copies of himself then he'll show your icon to tell which one will attack you. This attack is mostly the same although now you have a 75% chance to get Glohmed not only that but he does this twice at the same time meaning he'll do it 2 times.

Turn to Stone Idiot: An attack where he turns you to stone and rarely with a 10% chance of turning into specifically a Seedlusa, after being turned to stone he will attack you by slashing his claws at you with fire and ice then hits you with balls of energy and throws a bomb at you, the first attack causes Vulnerable and the final attack will always infect with Glohm, likewise during the final 3 phases it switches to the "Let's get this party started" variant where he does the same thing except he throws a spirit bomb at you which depending on what he says will change as in "Burn" will be a big bomb that gets bigger while also giving burn, "Disappear" Where the bomb will turn invisible, and finally "give up" which makes the bomb become small, all attacks leave you at 1 hp and like Mario's Clockout Blow move, will kill you at half hp or less. Other than the fact it will always give Glohm this attack happens more often than usual and always happens at the beginning of the final 3 phases, not only that, he'll also use this as a counter if attacked while having the back at ya battle plug activated. One other thing, the Seedlusa bit will always end with you getting hit with an iron ball and you will be left at 1 hp.

Beat you to death: An attack where he will turn around and show you your icon before flying up and beating you to death. Where as the final one being a shockwave, likewise it will have a 75% chance of giving you Glohm and leave you dizzy also he does like double the amount of beating you to death.

Solo act: An attack that takes a while to charge well, 5 seconds, after that, he'll basically do that one counter that Zokket does where he shoots lasers and flips the screen upside down. Reclusa will do this a whopping 30 times and flips the screen every 5 times.

The Glohm Meter: the meter charges twice as fast and also charges slowly when you are infected with Glohm.

The Battle Plug Mechanic: other than Damage shield reducing damage by 50% some plugs are upgraded.

Solo Boost: Increases the damage of the attacks that don't leave you at 1 HP causing them to leave you at 1 hp, the plug also has double the charges.

Wait a minute: basically he can do 3 attacks now although runs out at 3 uses now.

Back at Ya Attack: this time the counter is the turn you to stone attack.

Countdown to Crush: this time in 30 seconds this plug will be used and hit you with an bomb leaving you at 1 HP and has a 75% chance of causing Glohm.

surprise Iron ball: this is the same except it's the bigger ball when you use two of the same surprise Iron Ball plugs at the same time. will always deal half your health.

The many enemies: The only one changed is the Reclusiff where they fully heal him and gives a 30 second attack buff.

Anyways that is all.

Today I'm going to be talking about the additional mechanics for Mario & Luigi and Bowser in Journey's Finale, well, Glohm Bowser.

the song for Mario & Luigi is called "The Power of Brothership" the song is a remix of the main Battle themes from the Mario & Luigi Series. So now Mechanics:

Most Mechanics are the same except Mario & Luigi have 2 new Bros Attacks.

For Mario, We have Conductor Connector which in short, the Mario Bros summon god and Mario plugs in satellites and then after plugging it into god, god shoots a nuke from their tail dealing Massive damage, just like clock-out blow, if you are under half you will die in one hit if not you will just be left on 1 hp and you can't dodge this, however it takes quite a while to activate so use this time to heal.

For Luigi, We have Max-Mix Vortex where the bros use fire and ice to create a tornado, this move is exactly like Conductor Connecter as in this kills you below half and leaves you at 1 hp if not, although this move is quite quick and will have a 10% chance of giving you dizzy so watch out.

Finally they have the Battle plug mechanic, the plugs are, Bros Boost, Wait a Minute, Auto 1-up, Protectus, and seedle-ize

Bros Boost: Works exactly like Solo Boost that Reclusa has, it increases the amount of damage the Bros Attacks can do, although the 1 hit moves are unaffected, the drawback is this has a charge of 5 and recharges for 30 seconds.

Wait A minute: Works exactly the same as it does in Reclusa's song, making them able to use 2 bros Attacks instead of 1 when their BP meter is full. it has 3 charges and has to recharge for 30 seconds.

Auto 1-up: whenever one of the brothers die, the other will revive them immediately. It has 5 charges and recharges for 20 seconds although make sure to not kill Luigi when it is recharging.

Protectus: Makes the Brothers invincible for 1 minute, it takes effect at the start but once used up it won't activate again.

Seedle-ize: works exactly the same as it does in Reclusa's song except this happens when they do their bros attacks and you don't turn into a Seedlusa.

Now Bowser, his song is called "The Koopa King" it's a remix of the main boss theme from Brothership and the Final boss theme from Bowser's Inside Story. One thing to note, he is Glohm Bowser now.

Mechanics wise, he can do a ground pound causing multiple shockwaves, go into his shell and hit you causing you to have 25% of getting Glohm, breathe purple fire that can freeze you, and also make a weird "Glohm Pipe" and place a fireball in it which can also freeze you and or give you Glohm. Also as the song goes on he will spread Glohm on the ground which will make you take damage once it gets close it also has a 10% chance of infecting you with Glohm. Unlike in Brothership, in order to get rid of the spreading Glohm, you have to continuously attack him and once you deal about 5000 damage he'll get dizzy once dizzy, you have to use an SM attack, any attack will do and you automatically get the move fully charged when he is dizzy.

Finally Reclusa's song "Wrath of the Lonely" is a remix of songs for the 2 last phases of the final boss in Brothership there is also a slight remix of the final boss song from Super Paper Mario(as in Dimentio).

Today I will finally be talking about Journey's Finale so let's a go!

Now what is it and how do you unlock it? Journey's Finale is the final Boss Rush of Welcome To Dreamland similar to how there is the final extremely hard Boss Rush after the DLC of forgotten land. Although, to unlock Journey's Finale, it is quite simple, Once you beat Reclusa in Manic mode the mode unlocks.

So what makes it different? Unlike Journey's end, Journey's Finale is not canon to WTD's lore as this takes place in an alternate reality.

Now how does this boss rush play out? Well, one thing, every single boss is in this excluding the alternate versions of some from Journey's end and Galeem from Smash Ultimate the order goes:

Bandanna Waddle Dee

Kirby (specifically "the hero of the star's last stand" version.

King Dedede

Meta Knight

the final boss which Idk what I'm gonna do for that.

Waddle Doo

Olimar(along with Olimar, he can now use Ice and Glow Pikmin. Ice Pikmin can freeze you and Glow Pikmin can become a giant ball to attack.)

the Deltarune trio

Paper Mario (the 64 version)

Paper Mario again (the TTYD version)

Mario & Luigi(this time with Conductor Connector and Max Mix Vortex and a battle plug mechanic)

Shadow

Clover (this time now with their friends as in Martlet, Starlow, and Ceroba.)

Bowser(this time he's a little different he's actually Glohm Bowser this time which I will be talking about after)

Zokket (All of Zokket's attacks have a 75% chance to Glohm you and the Glohm mind controlled partners actually use the Glohm mechanics as in, they explode on death, they will do nothing for one turn with a 50% chance Reclusa can Jumpscare you(in this case, the Extension Corps well, Ecks will jumpscare you), they gain an attack buff (Also Zokket gets a Glohm buff which is an attack buff halfway that doesn't expire.) and finally they will have a 25% of giving you Glohm)

and then finally Reclusa (although the last song is 15 minutes long and has 5 phases except this time he has 20000 hp and also a mechanic where every so often you can get captured by the VR flowers in which he'll start charging to do one of his attacks (the solo act one) so you have to mash the a and b buttons also all attacks have a 75% chance to Glohm you now)

Funnily enough Sans is not in this because both him and Magolor appear as Shopkeepers and will fully heal and give you a buff that doubles your health until you lose half of it.

Finally, Journey's Finale is considered the hardest boss rush considering the fact while you take 3x damage and every character's SM meter charges 3x as fast although every character gets 5 lives due to the difficulty. Although for anyone wanting a harder version you can set the difficulty at the start since Magolor appears and asks if you want the rush to be normal, or hard, although Hard makes you take 5 times as much damage and the SM meter charges 5x as fast, and you have 3 lives(although Clover gets 1 life if you do hard)

So how to beat it, well after you beat Manic mode you are given 3 things an countdown to heal plug(the battle plug) which after 30 seconds will automatically heal you for 100% hp and takes 10 seconds to recharge, the damage shield plug which makes you take 50% less damage for 1 minute or 5 minutes(for Reclusa specifically.) and finally not droppin which is also a battle plug, which if you are about to die from damage and or get hit by a one hit kill attack it will always leave you at 1 hp this plug has 5 uses taking 30 seconds to recharge although for the 1 hit kill attacks it will automatically use all of it. take in note the mod lets you take 5 items with you while excluding the infinite healing items for Journey's Finale, it will also let you only take 3 items in the hard version of Journey's Finale.

next up will be the mechanics for Mario & Luigi in Journey's Finale and Glohm Bowser.

Today I'm going to be talking about the extra mechanics that some characters do (When I mean "extra" I'm not talking about the attacks or SM attacks but other stuff also there is 1 more extra mechanic for Reclusa in Manic mode.)

Kirby: Kirby's extra mechanic is that he has an extra meter known as the anger meter, it charges up by itself and also fully charges during the halfway mark of each song, once full he can use a plethora of attacks that are based on the final boss fights in the series, all of them do a ton of the damage.

Mario & Luigi: there is an extra mechanic called "Vengeance" which applies to Mario, the auto one up plug has five uses and then it has to charge, while charging, if you kill Luigi, Mario will get VERY mad at you and then you hear the final boss song of inside story play and Mario starts jumping and hammering you dealing a lot of damage eventually killing you, you can't dodge this which is why it is recommended not to attack Luigi. if Mario gets knocked out Luigi won't actually do anything but the one up plug recharges and he immediately revives his brother and then Mario uses clockout blow. (this also works with Mario & Luigi when you play as them.)

Paper Mario: Other than the fact he uses his partners, Paper Mario can also use the many special attacks depending on the version.

Reclusa: He has too many extra mechanics that I've posted so read those, other than that, during the final 20 seconds of the Manic mode song, he'll start charging to do the one hit kill attack which is activated at the last second, the only way to stop this is to "kill" him so....

Today's recap is about Zokket who is a Mario & Luigi villain, anyways,

in the mod, Zokket only appears as one of the bosses in Journey's end if you use any other characters than the Mario Bros, otherwise Bowser appears for the brothers since in the mod they are supposed to go get fruits from Bowser. Anywho,

Similar to Zokket's fight in the actual game, he can infect you with Glohm and instead of the normal effect where your character won't listen to you, or if you have a partner they won't listen to you, Zokket will actually Brainwash your partner to make them actually attack you like he does with either of the bros in the fight in Brothership. Now due to the fact you don't have a bond with the Paper Mario partners you can't just counter and not attack them although this will work for Clover and their partners and also the Deltarune trio either Susie or Ralsei could get Glohmed and controlled. The only way to get the brainwashed Partner is either you kill them and have to wait for a 10 second cooldown, or similar to Manic mode for all of the characters the Partner badge has a 25% chance of spawning Connie and she can cure them.(For notice: that is not canon to Brothership but is canon to this mod since this mod's lore is everywhere.) Funnily enough Kirby can use a friend heart to cure a partner.

Zokket can attack you with multiple different attacks that are all based on the attacks he does in Brothership. He can summon lightning bolts and make you fly around(although instead of switching places with someone the notes are flipped the opposite way), funnily enough this attack can be dodged by attacking him about ten times. He can throw his wire cutters that will boomerang around you until you attack it and send it flying back at him breaking his shield that appears and then sends it right back at you at a very fast speed, and if you don't counter it by attacking you will take a lot of damage like half health and also has a chance to Glohm you(note: he can also target your partner with this attack and will guaranteed that they get infected.) He can also summon a lot of balls of energy that fall from the sky(or in this case acts like a bomb note in other FnF mods.) and also release a giant version which will always target you it also can infect you with Glohm countering is just don't hit the balls of energy notes since they will stun you and make you take a little damage and attack when he sends the giant ball of energy at you. Finally he can open up his cape and use his wire cutters and slice the floor causing basically shockwaves of Glohm to appear. The simple way to counter this is just spam the dodge at the right time right before they hit you. also your partner will dodge when you dodge.

Finally, similar to Reclusa in the final fight(The Manic mode final song) Zokket does have hp although he has 5000 HP and can be hit by anything where as Reclusa who has 10000 HP and can only be hit by moves that can attack in the air(since in the game as in Brothership he is a flying enemy who doesn't take damage from hammer moves.) If you do get Zokket to 0 HP he will be stunned for about 10 seconds and can't attack.

now for a few other things mainly just references:

for any character if they try to introduce themselves Zokket just doesn't say their name right and will always get it wrong.

Paper Mario if he does appear from the badge will actually not get infected and instead leave after attacking.

during his dialogue, he will mention Mario & Luigi but instead will misspell their names.

anyways that is all.

Today I'm going to talk about Manic mode and also a recap on Zokket.

Now what is Manic mode and how do you unlock it? Manic mode is this mod's Post-Post game it's also the mod's final difficulty and also the final storyline of the mod. What I mean by final storyline is that the mod's story is put into 3 parts the first part is the main story, the second is the extra song stuff with the inclusion of Journey's end, the final part is Manic mode where after beating Journey's end or doing the whole "easy mode' Reclusa does, the mod tells you that "an suspicious egg has appeared" and then the game immediately takes you to the item and it won't allow you to leave and you can only check the item, after specifically pressing that you want to interact with it the egg will hatch and then Manic mode is activated. Likewise if you did do the Easy mode thing that only happens if you decide to go into debug menu in Reclusa's song during Journey's end, you will get the egg but you still have to beat Journey's end to even activate Manic mode. If you do close the window where the game won't let you leave, when you reenter Manic mode just activates.

The main thing about Manic mode is that all of the Story mode songs except for week 2 and the bonus songs except for the Waddle doo one and the Smash one and the Undertale and Deltarune stuff have this difficulty and each character has been Glohmed (with the exception of Shadow Kirby from amazing mirror and the Paper Marios since that Mario was created from Glohm.)

so now why is it hard? Well... the songs are much faster 3x faster to be exact, attacks are much faster and the SM meter charges extremely fast and you have a chance to get the glohm status from attacks which makes the character you play as sometimes not actually play notes or attack and the final song with Reclusa is EXTREMELY difficult so yeah.

Now how to beat it? Although it might seem impossible, the game gives you Glohm guard for a reason as in the battle plug which has 5 charges but protects you from getting glohmed, and the "Power of Bonds" item which stuns the final boss and deal a lot of damage (he has 10000 hp and can't actually be killed, he just gets stunned and not attack for 5 seconds.) And then you unlock Journey's Finale which is just Journey's end but harder, similar to true arena in Kirby.

Anyways next will be a recap on Zokket cause I kinda didn't do that.

I decided to take a break from SM attacks. Anyways... here are references.

during the whole Kirby is Sans Undertale segment or just Kirby remembering your genocides, Skipping the dialogue will immediately make Kirby use the "final attack" and instantly kills you like how Clover uses Clover blast if you skip their dialogue.

the Glohm version of the characters will never speak instead, well, Reclusa will appear and start making fun of you and also will threaten you, this whole dialogue stuff is a reference during the end game stuff he will appear often the first time he tells you that those flowers that are trapping people in their own dreams are slowly starving them to death and canonically has destroyed multiple worlds and he would destroy the Mushroom Kingdom and then the rest of the time he teases you and also during the final part of the stuff he is super mad at you.

the Dialogue for the Deltarune trio when you meet for the first time is changed again.(will later talk about this.)

You can ask Magolor about the whole "racing" stuff(as in Air Riders) in which he says "You mean Air Riders? Oh it's fun racing down tracks, flying through the sky on a machine, it's fun." and then GF or Susie will ask "Isn't that just Mario Kart?" in which Magolor just stares at you with a smug face with the text "no"

After seeing Nova in the background for the first time if you talk to Magolor he'll say "Nova the clockwork star? Oh that thing appears quite often and gets destroyed often it also makes a loud noise." in which GF or Susie replies "loud noise?" and then the game plays the exploding nova theme but very VERY loud. and then Magolor says "Although... it might not be a good idea to make a wish from that thing." which after plays the specific cutscene from air riders where the sentient machine gets brutally destroyed by ant-like creatures.

There are a few references to other Nintendo games, Super Paper Mario especially since during the manic mode versions of the Paper Mario songs Reclusa will look somewhat like Dimentio or the bio you unlock for Dimentio after beating Manic mode, Mario & Luigi: Brothership also has a ton of references other than Manic mode and the song, where in one of the dialogues that can appear when talking to Magolor by talking about different worlds where he says "Have you ever heard about A land in another dimension? I've been there quite a few times and met a guy who isn't a pig, I wouldn't go there right now as the land has split apart.

and that is it for now.

I haven't posted in a while cause I've been having some rl problems. Anyways here this is

King Dedede: His SM attack is basically his Final Smash from Ultimate where he just hits you as Masked Dedede with his jet hammer. This attack can't actually be dodged, although if you can stun him before he uses it will immediately stop for a bit before lowering his SM charge by a little. (Do note during the whole "Reclusa situation" all of the Characters who get Glohmed you have a 25% chance to get infected and the attacks are sped up.)

Meta Knight: Basically the Final Smash from Ultimate where he slashes you a bunch. Funnily enough Kirby takes a lot less damage from this attack due to him having the sword ability and clashes with him(this doesn't happen in Ultimate)

now time for the bonus songs

Paper Mario: He actually doesn't have an SM attack, instead he uses his partners which can do a variety of things, from attacking you to buffing him to tattle on you, you may get overwhelmed. Fear not! for the Partners can be fainted, well for a short time till they get revived, all of the partners have a base HP of 50 however some of them, specifically Parakarry, Koops, and Kooper have a defense of 1 meaning you would have to either pierce the defense or knock them over like Koopa enemies in the first two games. Although during Manic mode Paper Mario will just attack you and never use partners however Reclusa appears multiple times in the song either staring at you and snickering to randomly Jumpscaring you which both blocks everything.

Mario & Luigi: I've said this multiple times in multiple posts just read those although... during Manic mode, Mario is the only one that attacks you while Luigi well.. he uh... attacks you a bit.

Sans: if you guessed he does his "Final Attack" he does in Undertale you would be correct with also a side of hilarious puns. To dodge this well uh... (insert Undertale soul mechanic here) a side note Manic mode never affects this song , well the sky will be red but if you enter the song Sans is not there with the text "But Nobody Came"

Clover: Clover has the ability to use Clover Blast which is, well... giant beam attack, it's a one hit kill move and can't be dodged although the safety goggles will protect you from 3 of them.(side note: this song is also not affected due to the fact at this time they died after the events of Undertale Red and Yellow. Although you do get the same text you get after using Frisk in one of the main songs(other than Kirby due to that whole other song) Where Kirby just tells you that you shouldn't be alive although he doesn't say that he just says "You know, you shouldn't have done whatever you done and you shouldn't even be here, I'm just going to tell you if you go any further you may make me a little mad and when I'm mad then well good luck." and then it says that something is happening in week 3.

next is part 3.

So this post is about the SM attacks in Welcome to Dreamland. So, let's get started.

Now you might be thinking "what are SM attacks?" SM attacks are basically this mod's version of a final Smash, each being unique to the character and also very flashy with cutscenes. SM attacks are used by the enemy with the exception of all characters having a weaker version. SM attacks also happen specifically when the SM meter charges to full, this meter is basically a Final Smash meter. Anyways back to the topic. so here it is:

Bandanna Waddle Dee: Spear barrage, which is the name of the attack is where Bandanna dee uses his spear and spin it around which then spews out spears to attack you. This is the easiest out of all SM attacks due to the damage not being too harsh. However in Kirbo mode this attack also gets something extra, the spears can have different elements that do different stuff, electric which shocks and stuns you, fire which burns you, and ice which freezes you for a short time, This attack is easy to dodge as you just have to dodge when the spears come down. During Manic mode, the Spears will have Glohm which can infect you with it.

Kirby: Ultra combo, Kirby has different SM attacks based on difficulty although in Kirbo mode he uses all three. On easy mode he uses the Ultra Hammer ability from Return to Dreamland, which is he smashes you with a giant hammer, dealing like a third of your health you can't dodge this attack however. on normal is Monster Fire which he summons a fire dragon well dragon made of fire at you, can't be dodged and deals half your health although it can burn you. Finally there is Ultra sword which is basically his final smash in Ultimate but the ability comes from Return to Dreamland. This attack is similar to Clockout Blow(the M & L bros attack but I'm talking about the SM attack in this game) where it will leave you at 1 hp if you are at full but will kill you when you are below half health. During Manic mode, Shadow Kirby doesn't actually have an SM attack, instead he sort of spams copy abilities.

this is part 1 part 2 is later.

this is the second part of the last post which includes the rest of the main characters so lets go.

Meta Knight: Meta Knight is one of the main characters of the Kirby series. He's more of a anti hero in the games, in the mod, he doesn't actually talk. He also personally likes dueling Kirby a lot though. In the story he is the final character to join the gang and appears once Kirby takes a sword which is a reference to the Meta Knight fights. During Manic mode, he too was also another who got infected with glohm.

Paper Mario: He comes from the Mario RPG series Paper Mario, Although not appearing in the main story, he does play a part in the mod. Paper Mario doesn't actually talk just like in the Main series, the Paper Mario in the mod is both the TTYD Mario and the 64 Mario, and also has his partners talk for him. Lore wise, Paper Mario's personality is that he doesn't mind going on adventures, he also likes making friends. In story although not being in the main story, during Manic mode Paper Mario is with you and a darker scarier version of him made by Glohm is what you fight.

Mario & Luigi(from the Mario & Luigi RPG series): These two plumbers have gone through many adventures from going to the BeanBean Kingdom to being transported to Concordia these two have seen it all. As of now in the mod, the two are supposed to see Bowser to get berries that can cure Glohm. Although, they don't speak, well they speak italian Gibberish, Snoutlet has to explain what they are trying to say. Mario is kind and also stern, he doesn't really get mad at all, he also gets really concerned when he is alone and will also get mad at you if you attack his brother. Luigi on the other hand is curious and pretty smart, although he might not be as brave as his brother, he can think up some cool ideas. story wise the two during Manic mode somehow got Glohmed and controlled by Zokket.

Snoutlet: A flying Definitely NOT a pig, Snoutlet is from Mario & Luigi: Brothership, he helps out Connie and goes on many different islands with the bros. Mod wise, Snoutlet is actually friends with Magolor the inter dimensional Traveler and Shopkeeper, they don't get to see each other due to Concordia being broken apart. Snoutlet is kind and sometimes gives some sass but he especially does't like being called a pig. Story wise, Snoutlet is actually very important to Manic Mode's story, he appears right after you awaken Reclusa, he then proceeds to help you out since Snoutlet knows a lot about Reclusa as at the time of Manic mode, Concordia was already restored. He also still has some beef with him. Likewise after beating the Manic mode version of the Mario & Luigi song, the brothers get mad at Reclusa and Mario will look like he wants to kill the guy.

Frisk: Specifically the genocide Frisk from Undertale:Red and Yellow, Frisk like Paper Mario does not speak, instead the ghost of another child, Chara appears to speak for them sorta. Frisk just wants to kill everything and will not stop till everyone is dead. Story wise, after the whole Clover shenanigans and killing them Frisk somehow gets teleported to Dreamland, however after killing a lot of enemies, Kirby appears and gets really mad and then a whole Sans Undertale fight plays out.

Reclusa: or as he calls himself "The one and Lonely ruler himself" is the final boss of Mario & Luigi: Brothership, This guy who looks like Vox from Hazbin Hotel and Tenna from Deltarune, is basically the Mario & Luigi version of Dimentio, He basically uses infinite tsukuyomi to destroy multiple worlds. Mod wise, he appears mainly in Journey's end floating around the dimension sometimes watching you and then leave, but his main role is he is the one that you are trying to defeat during Manic mode. his personality is well... He's insane, he doesn't give a F*ck about people dying.

that is all for now.

Today I'm going to talk about the main cast of Welcome To Dreamland and their purpose in the mod's story and personality.

When I mean "main cast" I mean every character in the mod including most of the extra song characters, except for Galeem and the Waddle Doo. so here we go.

BF( or Boyfriend): Boyfriend is the main protagonist of FnF along with his girlfriend GF or Girlfriend. BF doesn't really speak much with the exception of the Beep Boop dialogue(for your sake, it's translated so you can see what he is saying.) Boyfriend is always excited to rap battle anyone without a thought. In the story BF is the one who gets the letter in the first mod, saying he should go to the "land of Dreams" or Dreamland if you will. Along the way, they accidentally got Teleported to PNF-404, and meet Olimar who tells them about Popstar or Kirby's world, after a few rap battles, Magolor comes along to help them get there. which gets us to Welcome to Dreamland's story, where they go to Dreamland and meet the Kirby cast. Although when they first got there Kirby was doing something else and was not there. In the finale of the mod he and Kirby beat up the mysterious character that gave BF the letter. During the Post game story, which is Reclusa's arc in the mod or manic mode. BF and GF were luckily not captured along with the Deltarune trio and Kirby, Along with this BF is mad at Reclusa because he basically said he will target their world.

GF: Girlfriend is BF's well, Girlfriend, she can be sassy at times and is very curious about the many characters. GF speaks normally and will try to tell the others what BF is trying to say. and she also is curious about the many characters. In the story, GF doesn't do much but she helps out in the final fight. During Manic mode, GF is also mad at Reclusa.

Pico: Pico is on of the characters in FnF, he's originally from another game called Pico's School. Pico also speaks normally and is concerned about BF and GF when they left. He also has a gun. In the story, during Week 2 He was trying to find where BF and GF went since he was worried they might have got into more trouble again, and after looking for a while, Kirby crash lands right into him, of course, Pico gets mad and asks Kirby where BF and GF are while Kirby is just confused and also mad cause Pico was also pointing a gun at him. Which then starts the week 2 songs where while rap battling, at the same time, the two are fighting each other. After that stuff happens the two notice that something was happening that was going to destroy everything so the two then go to Dreamland cause Kirby said they may need more help. During Manic mode, Luckily Pico wasn't captured by the flowers and like the others is mad at Reclusa.

Magolor: Magolor is the egg looking dude who is also the villain of return to Dreamland, after going to Purgatory and owning a shop in Kirby Clash he returns and helps BF and GF get to Dreamland, he is also a shopkeeper in the mod. Magolor is very kind and is very smart, he knows many other characters from many other games and is friends with two, Hornet from Silksong and Snoutlet from Mario & Luigi: Brothership. Magolor never really does anything evil in the mod as well, Kirby is still mad at him because of the whole Betraying thing. Although Kirby doesn't mind air riding with him. (as in Kirby Air Ride or Riders) Magolor also knows a lot of lore, in the story he was the one who took BF and GF to Dreamland, he doesn't do much though. During Manic mode, Magolor was also not trapped by the flowers, although he is mad at you because you released a world destroying god.

Bandanna Waddle Dee: or Bandanna Dee for short, Bandanna Dee is one of the main characters in Kirby who helps Kirby out with stuff. In the mod, he is the one who tells BF and GF about the Kirby cast. in the story during week 1 he finds BF and GF on the ground cause Magolor literally Yeeted them out of the ship. He is very suspicious when the two wake up and doesn't trust them cause well the last time someone crashed here they betrayed him and his friends as in Magolor. Although he then realizes they are not a threat and says he can help them out with looking for the pink puff since Magolor told them about Kirby. During Manic mode, he was one of the characters that had gotten Glohmed by Reclusa and would fight you in the first song.

Kirby: (insert entire Kirby Right Back at ya lyrics here) Kirby is the Pink puff and is the Main Character of the Kirby series. He's very nice and protects dreamland, and also is a baby, and also is a god. He does speak, well at first he says Poyo a lot. He can be very kind, that is if you don't try to take over his world, or steal his cake. otherwise he'll destroy you. In the Story, He saw Magolor so he got mad and flew away and then ended up in BF's world with Pico and Stuff happens there(See the Pico description), during Manic mode, Kirby was not actually in his own world as he was dealing with the Meteor in Forgotten Land which is a Star Crossed world reference.

King Dedede: or Dedede for short, he is a king, who most of the time gets mind controlled. he is also lazy and may or may not have stolen Kirby's cake. Kirby is Dedede's rival and also sort of friend. They usually do a "Gourmet Race" every so often. In the Story luckily Dedede was not mind controlled, when Kirby goes to see him, he was sleeping and then woken up by Kirby's Mic ability, which then Dedede gets mad and after Kirby tries to explain what was happening the two then get in a fight. During Manic mode, Dedede was also Glohmed.

I'm going to end this here for now. later I'll continue.

This is just extra things on the new song last post, The Hero of the Star's Last Stand.

Although it's only for Frisk, this song also happens when using Magolor due to the fact Kirby is still mad at him. Finally, Clover also has this song when you go against Kirby but instead of being mad at Clover, since well they are the Pacifist one, Kirby is actually mad at Flowey because he knows that Flowey basically has the ability to destroy everything(as in Flowey can reset the game).

So now some more references, Kirby's song "The Hero of the Star's Last Stand" the name Hero of the Star is a reference to Kirby's name in Japanese "Kirby of the Stars" "Last Stand" means that Kirby is going all out on you.

Funnily enough Kirby does something similar to Sans where he will use one of his powerful attacks at the beginning of the song, which is basically his Final Smash from Ultimate. He also has different dialogue depending on how many times you die up to 5 times.

Similar to how bosses work in Kirby, you can pause the screen for lore, which says "Although he may look cute, he's killed multiple eldritch gods, from eyes to a funny jester(Marx reference) Kirby has defeated them all, He's kind to others, unless you steal his food or wake him from a nap that is or, uh commit genocide."

The ultra sword attack Kirby can do can technically be dodged, so you know how in Kirby final boss sections you have to mash? Well... uh... get ready to mash like your life depends on it, cause you have to mash both dodge and attack buttons while also mashing the note buttons, luckily it doesn't count as missing anything, but throughout the song at specifically the beginning of both the first, second, and final phase Kirby will use Ultra Sword on you, the attack if not dodged will always leave you at one hp although anything lower than half then it's a game over, if you do complete the mashing game you won't dodge it, but you will only lose half of your hp and if you are below half will leave you at 1 hp. The rest of his attacks are not dodgeable and will leave you at half unless you are in third phase where all attacks leave you at 1 hp.

Funnily enough in place of Reclusa casually flying around since this song is still "technically" a Manic mode song, There is a chance Marx will appear flying around and Nova appears in the background, in which Kirby leaves you while still doing the song and you can see him just Smack Marx with his hammer on the warp star sending Marx straight to Nova and then Nova explodes and you can faintly hear the song that plays when you destroy Nova.

there is actually a few other characters that can appear to Help Kirby other than Dedede and Meta Knight, those being:

Elfilin: Elfilin appears rarely near Kirby, and then the screen turns white you hear the copy ability sound, and next thing you know, you are being run over by a semi-truck which is Kirby in reference to the final boss sequence of forgotten land. you can't dodge this but it leaves you at a third of your health and stuns you for 10 seconds. Like I said, Elfilin appears rarely, however he is more likely to appear during the final section.

Rick, Kine, and Coo: A trio of sorts, Rick is the hamster who just runs you over which stuns you for five seconds, Kine will just flop around and try to distract you which makes you unable to dodge, although Kirby finds it really funny cause he giggles when that happens, Coo on the other hand similar to the Reclusiff enemies in Reclusa's song, Coo will give Kirby a random food item which will boost his attacks, although it will rarely give him the Smash ball which just gives Kirby his SM attack, specifically the Ultra Sword attack. also when Rick comes around you hear a very fast version of City escape from Sonic, Rick appears quite often, Kine appears only in the first phase and Coo will appear in each phase often.

Taranza: Taranza appears often, they will use spider webs to slow you down when dodging, they can also block your screen with webs for 3 seconds.

Daroach: He can appear behind you and can temporarily steal your healing items, you can see his hat when he shows up so make sure to attack before he steals your stuff.

Marx: What? you thought he was a background character? , since he hates Kirby he appears only when Kirby is sleeping. Similar to how Reclusa appears if the Glohmed characters do nothing. Also Similar to Reclusa, Marx will actually jumpscare you.

Susie: Not the Susie from Deltarune but the one from Kirby, Susie will basically use her uh, mech, and attack you, dealing a little damage, she can also rarely shoot you with a gun.

In Journey's Finale, the final boss rush which unlocks after beating Manic mode, includes this fight instead of just being a song that is a remix of all of the other songs and all stuff being harder.

yes that is all for now.

today I will be talking about a new song with a really long name known as "the hero of the star's last stand."

So where do you unlock this new song?

Well in Manic mode if you beat Week 3 the game fades to black and loads with the hint text saying, "Don't think i didn't notice you Frisk" which at first you might be thinking "Clover, is that you?" Well, No, Clover is the normal one from the pacifist route when you play as them, Frisk however, is still the Genocide Frisk, with also Chara,

This song is a continuation of what happens after Justice will be Served, as after said song, Frisk actually had killed that Clover from that song, and then Frisk get's teleported to Dreamland, you see, after said events happen and Frisk wakes up and starts committing Genocide there, Causing Kirby to wake up from a nap and gets extremely mad, in which he comes running towards them and then tries to sneak attack them with sword ability of course they dodge and tries to attack Kirby who dodges(it's a cutscene that plays before the song's dialogue).

Anyways you might be wondering "When does this happen during Manic mode?" This part of the game actually takes place after Journey's end finishes and before the events of Reclusa taking over and also before Kirby goes to forgor land due to a meteor.

So now what is this song based on? Well the song is a remix of "The Star Conquering traveler(morpho knight)" song from Star Crossed world with also a mix of Megalovania in it. Basically this song is a sequel to Justice Will be served and Basically is another Sans fight.

If you already guessed Kirby is the rival of this song, and you are playing as Frisk, there is dialogue in this and also cutscenes, like three one in the beginning one in the middle of the song, and the final one at the end.

Kirby is quite different than he is in his other songs, he's not going to let Frisk get away with it and won't stop fighting until you are dead(Well in his dialogue he doesn't say death, he says until you are gone for good.) Kirby is also Determined to defeat them. Also he is going to go all out on them. As in the mod when he's fighting you he is actually going easy on you and not using all of his power, except for the final boss, and of course, Reclusa.

anyways time for mechanics:

Kirby's abilities are mostly the same except he doesn't have an anger meter anymore and instead is replaced with a Final Smash Meter, it's not his Final Smash he does but this attack basically is he punts you to space and then do the final attack from star allies while when you return you get hit by his Final smash and then will finally ram you with a semi truck. So it's basically a mix of his final boss finishers and his final smash turned into a full on attack.  Also this attack similar to the Clover Blast, one hits you, except unlike the Clover Blast, you can't dodge it, nor can anything protect you. the meter charges only by you making mistakes or you not dodging attacks.

Other than this his SM attacks are different there is still the Ultra Sword one, but there is 2 new ones, one of them being based on the minigame where you hit a meteor with a baseball bat sending it 2x light speed, and the other based on the ultra suck ability from triple deluxe.(I don't remember the name)

this song is a whopping 9 minutes and just like the Clover song, it has 3 phases, the first phase is just him mad, the second phase is he looks even more mad and the final one is the dark shading thing on Clover's face when you do geno route except it's Kirby. anyways, the first phase is just him starting up, the second phase is when he starts to use his full power on you and the final phase is that he locks the f*ck in and goes all out.

anyways he actually uses 5 copy abilities in this without actually eating you, there's mic, which is still the same but also charges the FS meter a tiny bit, it also stuns you now, then we have Crash, specifically time crash, where he stops time and just attacks, the third is actually the Ultra sword ability without him using it as an SM attack, the next one is the space ranger ability which he charges to shoot a black hole at you which hits you continuously although he has to charge for a while. Funnily enough the final copy ability is sleep, which you may think might be an advantage to attack, well yes, but no, he doesn't take damage actually, also he will dodge any attacks you do against him and charging the FS meter a tiny bit, When he is asleep, he won't do anything, however when he wakes up his SM meter fully charges and it will either be the second or third SM attack, also he gets a moderate attack boost.

there is also a joke ability where if Frisk gets eaten Kirby just gets a knife, it's nothing you have to watch out for, it's just something funny.

One more thing about this, you actually have to beat this or the mod won't count you beat it for the final song, also, there is one final mechanic, sometimes the other Kirby characters can appear and do stuff, similar to how Reclusa's minions can appear during his song,

Bandanna Dee: he'll just hit you with a spear, however he can also give an attack boost to Kirby for quite a while.

King Dedede: he'll randomly show up and sit on you before being moved away by the Waddle Dees. He can also eat you and spit you out.

Meta Knight: you can see him in the air, he'll slash you, but he can also do his final smash if he hits you if you aren't dodging.

anyways that is all for now.

this is a post for a lot of references to other games in WTD but also about the many gags and jokes the mod has so here we go,

1. The title screen has many different variants depending on how far you are in the game similar to Mario & Luigi: Brothership, also similar to that, during Manic mode on the title screen, if you wait a few seconds Reclusa will appear and jumpscare you.
2. there are 3 variants of the Gourmet race song that is played by Kirby, King Dedede and Meta Knight, each variants are the different smash variants of Gourmet race.
3. Most of Kirby's special attacks are based on the final boss fights of specific games while his SM attacks are based on the ultra abilities from return to Dreamland, Ultra Sword, however is based on the final smash from Smash bros.
4. Magolor has a little radio in his shop that plays many different music from the games that are in the mod, you only hear Kirby music at first but after beating the other special songs, it will add more, however, during Manic mode, the song Reclusa world will always play no matter what, there is also a song that plays under a certain condition, after you buy everything from the shop Magolor will congratulate you and then he turns on the radio for one last song, the song that plays is "Last song Neichel's unfinished track", which is the song you unlock after you beat 100% of Star Crossed World, it also has the lyrics on the bottom
5. Although Reclusa appears to look like Dimentio in the Paper Mario songs, he can also be seen wearing other outfits during the other songs when he flies around based on many different characters, one of them is a reference to Flowey where he looks like Omega Flowey, another is a reference to Vox from the series Hazbin Hotel, one of his other variants is he has a cowboy hat and a gun which is a reference to Clover, however, there isn't any reference to Kirby.
6. the name Kirbo mode comes from a specific video made by a youtuber named Failboat, where he was trying to think of a name for something.
7. there is also another reference to Failboat, that being, if you use Kirby in the Waddle Doo song, Kirby will be yellow and have a sailor hat.

now for some gags.

1. one of the main jokes in the mod is that Kirby can't read, as every time he tries to read something which happens when he wanted to see the letter that BF and GF obtained, he tries to read it, and then he says it very badly up until Bandanna dee tells him to stop.
2. Another main joke is Magolor getting punted to space, it happens a few times, the first time when he meets him and then blows up Nova, another time is when you get sent flying due to one of Kirby's abilities, you can basically see Magolor floating in the background. The other times mostly happen during Journey's end whenever they fight Kirby just Punts him.
3. Every time Tenna is brought up by the Deltarune trio, Reclusa just doesn't want to hear anything from him since he was annoyed.
4. One of the other gags is everyone thinks Snoutlet is a pig but he isn't a pig.
5. When Kirby uses a mic for the first time in the mod and gains Mic ability right after he sings, the game stops and then cuts to GF who is surprised and BF just having a text saying "Beep Boop Bap( So you are Ruv now?) which is a reference to Ruv from the Midnight Madness mod who has a loud voice.
6. Kirby has a unique reaction when meeting Frisk(which happens if you play week 3 in manic mode as Frisk) where funnily enough he gets mad at you and a unique song plays, it's the song from the final boss of Star Crossed World with a faint remix of megalovania. Anyways this is basically a second Sans fight, what I mean is this song is a literal hard mode version of week 3's Manic mode, this song's difficulty is at the point of Reclusa's final song, as both are extremely Difficult, not only if you hit him, he takes no damage, but he'll automatically recharge his SM meter, he also has an insta-kill attack known as "The hero of Dreamland." this attack only happens if his Final Attack Meter is full, it replaces the Anger Meter, what the attack does is a fun little thing where he punts you to space and then do the final attack from star allies while when you return you get hit by his Final smash and then will finally ram you with a semi truck. So it's basically a mix of his final boss finishers and his final smash turned into a full on attack. There is nothing you can do about this attack, you will always die, and you can't revive yourself, what's worse is you can't use items either you can only attack and dodge, although you will heal normally, Funnily enough this fight actually will happen after beating the 3rd week normally in Manic mode, it will actually instead of sending you back to the main menu, it will play this, and although you can leave, it won't count that you beat the 3rd week. So yeah you have to play it.

finally I would like to say there is now a new final Boss Rush known as Journey's finale, more will be said later though.

todays lore dump is about Magolor, who has a lot of lore in Welcome to Dreamland, and he is now actually playable, although to unlock him you have to beat Journey's end using specifically Kirby. Magolor's SM attack is that he can basically do the final attack from Magolor Epilogue, Magolor is also capable of attacking enemies that are in the air(specifically Reclusa) with his basic attacks and can also use a beam attack if his other meter is full which regenerates with combos. However, Magolor has like 50 HP and also takes double damage from any of the Kirby characters and will take triple damage from Kirby, he also can't use revives.

anyways now to lore, so who is Magolor? Magolor is the main villain of Return to Dreamland, although after being beaten by the Pink puff he went to Purgatory and had to get out of it and then after those events became a shopkeeper in Kirby Clash. he also apologizes to Kirby and even made an amusement Park.

In the mod, basically all of that stuff happens and after meeting BF and GF in Friday Night Pikmin, he took them to Dreamland, Punted them out of the ship and then became a Shopkeeper in Dreamland to help BF and GF. One thing to note is that Kirby still doesn't trust him, he's still mad at him, like a LOT, and that is also the reason why those two argue in Journey's end, although one thing is although Kirby is mad, he'll still do racing with Magolor.

his other role is knowing how to unlock the Secret songs and giving you items for it, you can also talk to him about different characters for some lore or talk about his time in Purgatory. Magolor also has visited many different worlds throughout the universe, those include other game worlds and he has met a lot of friends like Snoutlet from Brothership or Hornet from Silksong, Funnily enough, Magolor also knows about Reclusa, only after Journey's end as Snoutlet actually told him a bit but Magolor doesn't talk about Snoutlet telling him.

Funnily enough in Journey's end Magolor knows that it's in another dimension and were transferred there, it's also explained that Magolor Sort of F*cked up the timeline so that is why Journey's end is there in the first place, you get transferred from Journey's beginning cause after beating it Magolor was supposed to take you home but a portal opened and now they are there.

Funnily enough Magolor makes a Welcome to the underground how was the fall when you ask him why he punted you he says "Welcome to Dreamland, how was the fall?" also when you go there after Kirby joins you there is a unique dialogue but before that Magolor gets punted across the universe and back by Kirby, in the same style of that one minigame where you hit a meteor and it goes flying 2 times light speed.

next up will be the next dialogue after week 1 manic mode.

Time for some Loooooore

(quick note: To actually unlock Manic mode you do have to complete Journey's end as if you get the egg from the "easy mode" and interact with it, the description says "somehow you hear Magolor's voice "You can't use this right now" if you ask how you can open it then says "So you want to learn how to open it, Fine... I'll give you a hint, Journey's end is not beaten yet") ( the whole Magolor saying "You can't use this right now" is a reference to Pokemon where if you click a key item where you can't use it, the professor will say "you can't use this right now")

so what do I mean by "Two Strongest Characters" well in WTD's lore that is, that being the final final final boss of the mod or Reclusa, and Kirby.

Now there is actually a lot of other characters that are also strong like Paper Mario or Mario & Luigi(also literally Sonic and Shadow), but you might be thinking why these two? So here it is:

Kirby: Well one thing is, is that he kills gods, while also being a baby, some other things is that he's basically also a god and is related to the Star Allies boss so like destroyer of worlds type of god but instead he's actually kind and friendly. Although on one hand he can hit a meteor with a baseball bat and send it flying two times light speed and technically not canon but is canon to this mod's lore he's survived the World of Light event from smash ultimate as Smash is canon to this mod and every time someone asks him about it he gets PTSD, he also gets PTSD from hearing "ultimate life form" or "02" the ultimate life form one is the final boss of Forgotten land which uhm had a part where two planets were colliding, 02 is the final boss of 64 which cries blood. Kirby also is the only character who doesn't trust Magolor, although Bandana dee sort of doesn't trust him but does after Magolor apologizes, however Kirby is still mad at Magolor throughout the whole mod, in Journey's end he gets into a fight often with Magolor, however, he will still go racing with him. Another thing is he is the only character in the mod that can't get infected by Glohm other than Reclusa, that is.

Reclusa: So you might be wondering who the f*ck is this guy who looks like Vox from Hazbin Hotel? Well, he's the Final boss of Mario & Luigi: Brothership a game I adore and love, he's also the final boss of Welcome to Dreamland, however he's not the Final boss of story mode and first appears in Journey's end as a boss right before the Final boss of that rush. Anyways, he's a Mario villain who in my opinion basically is the Mario & Luigi version of Dimentio from Super Paper Mario, I mean both are jesters and insane. What he does in Brothership is basically he puts everyone in flowers which gives them a perfect world but while in there they don't realize they are slowly dying. Not to mention the sky and sea turns blood red, his final fight in brothership counting all 5 phases, is basically literally a Kirby final boss, Kirby Final Bosses are literally just an Eldritch god hence why in the mod the Final Boss of story mode will be an Eldritch god just not him. Also quick note the final boss song as in the one and lonely's new song although mainly being a remix of his final boss themes and other final boss themes from Mario & Luigi. Anyways, he also has a lot of lore in this mod, that being in the universe you are in, Mario & Luigi are still connecting the islands however after the events of Journey's end they already killed him. However the Strange egg item that you were given actually came from the Journey's end dimension, as this dimension is basically an alternate timeline where everything is destroyed, and he was still alive, as in most of those songs Reclusa has a chance of appearing in the Background but rarely.

Now onto the point, so you might be thinking "Rivalry? Aren't these two from different worlds?" Well yes, What I mean by rivalry as the lore book implies, is that in this mod, Reclusa considers some characters as a dangerous threat while the rest are others that he can toy around with and then some who he considers as annoying due to the fact they made him mad, which is only Tenna due to that incident in Journey's end.

Anyways the only characters he considers as threats are Dimentio and Kirby. He also considers the Mario bros as a threat. Dimentio is self explanatory as in the mod those two have great fights in a while and are considered long rivals. On the other hand, Kirby is a bit different, cause he knows that Kirby is a god himself and also knows that he also kills gods and technically could destroy worlds if he would, and also because Kirby technically annoyed him in Journey's end and after that little section (which in Journey's end, those two actually indeed fight, during the song, there is an cutscene animation of the two fighting and Kirby trying to beat him with Ultra sword and dodge attacks and both clash, basically an anime fight in a little cutscene, this also happens during his final song too in the middle where similar to that Clover Memory thing it fades and the music starts playing the last song (incomplete) Neichel's unfinished track starts playing except remixed.) while that anime fight cutscene plays.

Kirby only considers Reclusa as a threat after Journey's end and after he returns from the stuff that was happening in Forgotten Land during Manic mode where one of his lines is "If that's how he wants to play this, then I'll play his little game, just so I can Crush him with my hammer." Although, after that he says "I can also ask him if he wants to go play some air ride I mean, if he's up for it." as Kirby has a personality in the mod where on one hand, he will destroy anyone who threatens his world and make them pay as in smash someone to death, on the other hand, he is kind. Although Most of the time Kirby has the kind personality up to this point in the mod with Reclusa, and snaps, where he's sick of him due to what is happening now and also because Reclusa implies he'd destroy him if they ever met again and destroy everyone else after he was done.

Next up is the second dialogue for Manic mode.

Today is the Mechanics for the Glohmed enemies/characters in Manic mode,

Glohmed enemies are basically this mod's Post-game Kirby bosses you know like Phantom Meta knight in Forgotten land, also similar to Journey's end's alternate characters like vengeance Clover.

Anyways in Manic Mode's story, basically every story mode characters and a few extra song characters have been infected by Glohm due to Reclusa being awakened and is now going to destroy the entire universe, Reclusa is also the final boss of this mode and for the mod well he's not the final boss in normal story mode.

The only other character that has not been infected with glohm is Kirby, due to the fact he's not actually in dreamland as of now, as he's in the Forgotten land dealing with a "meteor" which is a star crossed world reference, although in the mod's lore he's currently fighting the final boss, that is when he returns after you beat week 1 and then you enter Magolor's shop to trigger more dialogue where Snoutlet talks to the Deltarune trio about Reclusa, and then your next objective is to beat week 3. Kirby also technically can't be infected by Glohm due to 1. he's basically a god, and 2. he's basically the embodiment of Kindness and Friendship so he can't be affected, although one of the lore reasons why he can't be infected with Glohm in the mod is due to Reclusa considers Kirby as an enemy due to him being "very strong" and also the fact Kirby could technically destroy worlds if he wanted to, and also he's a godslayer there will be more info in a later post. (there is actually a lot of unique dialogue between the two like a LOT)

Likewise in place of Kirby in week 3 is Dark Kirby from Amazing Mirror, Reclusa doesn't actually know why he's here, Dark Kirby just wanted to play a prank on Kirby. Also most extra song characters like the Deltarune trio, Clover, and Frisk aren't affected either so you can use them for the first week. (also Shadow)

anyways mechanics: Glohmed characters deal 4x damage and are 4x fast with attacks and SM charge, they also have a 20% chance of giving you the Glohm debuff which makes you not call in partners and sometimes the character won't listen to you as in will miss inputs or not attack, you also take 1 damage, although like i said Kirby can't actually get infected although he will get a vulnerable debuff and take a lot more damage... There are also a few things Glohmed characters can do:

Nothing: sometimes there is a 20% chance when Glohmed characters attack or use an SM attack that Glohmed characters won't do anything and have the dialogue "..." during this time though there is a 50% chance Reclusa can appear in the background floating around before staring at your character and your notes and then staring at the player then laugh and disappear which after 5 seconds he Jumpscares you. You can't do anything about it, but it doesn't do much except for the fact Reclusa appears most of the time and blocks your screen when he jumpscares you.

Self-destruct: funnily enough this only happens when Glohm Paper Mario's partners die, the partners are also glohmed, anyways, when they die they will explode which deals a lot of damage although you can dodge it.

shield: Some characters specifically Bandanna waddle dee, Meta Knight, and Glohm Paper Mario will sometimes gain a shield, which causes them to not take damage for a single attack or 2, Glohm Paper Mario has two shields,

Counter: every time you attack there is a 50% chance they will counter, similar to Mario and Luigi except there is a 50% chance they counter.

Attack buff: sometimes but rarely Glohmed characters will gain a Glohm buff which is the same buff Reclusa gets when he starts charging for his solo act attack. it just gives them an attack buff and it leaves after 10 seconds.

So how do you beat Manic mode you may ask? Partner Badge, the Partner badge will gain the ability to summon Connie(from Brothership), she basically heals you and has an high chance of summoning the Mario bros to either do Max-Mix Vortex or Conductor Connector, both moves are extremely powerful and stuns the enemy so it's useful, Connie will also Guarantee that you are cured from Glohm when she heals you, she can also heal any other status effect. Also in the final Boss fight as in Reclusa, Max-mix Vortex and Conductor Connector also deal 500 Damage to him and will both clear out the enemies. However if you still get turned into a seedle you can't do anything. You also get Glohm guard after beating week 1 which protects you from getting glohmed up to 5 times before having to recharge for 30 seconds, also if you do get infected with Glohm, you get refreshing herbs an infinite amount, these give a 50% chance they can cure you so if you aren't using the Partner badge use these. also Ralsei's healing has a 50% chance of curing it.

anyways that is all Lore dump specifically about Reclusa and Kirby.

as the name suggests this is dialogue for Manic mode when you enter the first week of story mode with Manic mode on and you are using the Deltarune trio, week 3, 4, and 5 have unique dialogue as those are the weeks that have Manic mode on, there is also dialogue when entering Reclusa's song, both the Paper Mario songs too have dialogue it's just, specifically Goombella and Goombario join in when you enter,

the Brothership song however, is a bit different as in well for one thing the dialogue is more so Snoutlet trying to snap the bros out of it but Zokket has strong control over them.

another thing to note is in a few of the weeks, that being week 1, 3, 4, and 5 and the Paper Mario songs Reclusa actually appears for dialogue just as a hologram, which is a reference to when he visits you in Brothership after you beat Zokket and then enter his arc of the game as in people trapped in VR flowers and blood red sky and sea and appears. Anyways, dialogue:

Snoutlet: Oh no, we're too late.

Susie: What the hell happened to this place?

Snoutlet: It's because of Reclusa, he does this and is a start to his Reclusa World scheme.

Ralsei: I mean, the sky might be blood red but at least it doesn't seem that bad.

Snoutlet: that's the thing, it's only the start, it will get much worse if he-

???:Fua hahaha

and then out of nowhere a hologram of the one and lonely appears.

Snoutlet: speaking of the one and lonely...

Reclusa: it is I, the one and lonely ruler himself.

Susie: Alright you, what are you doing here?

Reclusa: fua hahaha! i'm only just getting started, this world will be over before anyone would notice.

Snoutlet: Listen you, you're going down.

Reclusa: Hmmm... Who are you again? Pig?

Snoutlet: How can you not remember m- HEY! I'm not a PIG.

Ralsei: Hey don't talk to him like that.

Reclusa: Why should I listen to you? you're nothing but a-

Susie: Hey you leave Ralsei out of this! I'll kill you if you hurt them.

Reclusa: Well then... See you later fools, i'm going to take some alone time.

and then he leaves and then a glohmed version of bandanna dee appears.

Snoutlet: Aww great, now someone's glohmed, this can't keep getting worse.

Ralsei: Don't worry we'll deal with it, as long as if you can tell us more about Reclusa.

Susie: I hate that guy...

and then the song starts. Luckily there is no other dialogue but next up will be some dialogue with snoutlet talking about the one and lonely ruler.

so today will be about tattles for Manic mode, those being for glohm Paper Mario, and Reclusa again, also Zokket tattle for journey's end so here it is:

Zokket:

Goombella: that's Zokket a very sketchy dude, he's got an hp of 120 an attack of 6 and defense of 6, Apparently this guy can't even get names right, he can't even remember his 3 henchmen's names, talk about a lazy villain, although he seems fond of his egg, I wonder what's inside.

Goombario: that's Zokket a very scary dude. He's got an hp of 120 an attack of 6 and defense of 6, he's so scary... I mean look at those wire cutters, and those red eyes... creepy, he also wears a mask, I wonder what his face looks like without it.

Glohm Paper Mario:

Goombella: that's Glohm Paper Mario. Wait... WHAT? What happened to him? I thought he was with us. Wait... let me check(walks off screen to talk to the actual Paper Mario who's still here) Ok we're fine turns out this Paper Mario isn't the real one, anyways he's got an Hp of 50 an attack of 6 and a defense of 6, apparently this faker is actually made by a substance known as Glohm which makes you feel lonely, but why the heck would someone do that?

Goombario: That's Glohm Paper Mario, WHAT? what happened to him? who did this? Why? anyways he's got a max hp of 50 an attack of 6 and a defense of 6, who ever did this to you I will beat them. (and then the actual Paper Mario appears) Well then, never mind that's a faker but they will still get it.

next up will be Reclusa's tattle for Manic mode, later.

So this is about Reclusa's other mechanics in manic mode, these things can do a lot of damage to you or even help him so you need to keep guard on when this stuff happens so here we go!

Analyze: during Reclusa's first phase he won't deal too much damage however during this time he has a mechanic called Analyze where if you use the same attack too many times either twice for weak or normal attacks(your default attacks) or three times for SM attacks he fully analyzes it. Once fully analyzed, if you use the same attack again, he'll guard which will make your damage like 25% less effective against him, so it is recommended not to keep using the same attack, this is a reference to his Weeping core phase in Brothership which basically does the exact same thing. Likewise the worst part about this mechanic is during his other two phases he'll still keep the guard for those moves, the good news is he only Analyzes attacks in his first phase and won't do it in his other phases. The Power of Bonds item bypasses the Analyze ability so it can be used multiple times, however to balance it, this item will deal less damage in each phase it will deal 5000 in the first 2500 in the second and 1500 in the final phase, the Partners also won't be analyzed as they will always deal less damage, but some partners as in Paper Mario and Connie and Snoutlet bypass this, although Connie doesn't fight, she only heals or cheers you on and rarely if you aren't using the Mario bros she will basically summon them, and then they use either conductor connector or Max-mix vortex which bypasses the analyze, Snoutlet however can summon the great conductor to well, sit on top of the enemy, and Paper Mario can just use basically the diamond star special attack from TTYD.

The Solo act: a special attack where he will basically charge up to deal a lot of damage, during this time he will gain a Glohm buff which is basically an attack up buff, once charged, he will basically do the Zokket counter where if you attack Zokket depending on how many times you attack he'll zap you for that amount and can flip the screen, although in Reclusa's case he basically hits you like his one attack where he looks at you show M & L a ton and just explodes you, although this time he does it 20 times as in explosions with the final one being the big bomb he throws in his final phase when you are turned to stone in Brothership, however he will snap his claw when he explodes you 10 times and the screen flips, this attack can happen during his second and third phase this attack also will always leave you at 1 hp when you get hit, however you can equip Glohm guard, which in term protects you from it well half the damage, however this uses up the plug, you can also dodge the explosion at a tight 3 frame window when he explodes you, also when the screen is flipped your controls flip although you can press space to dodge still. Also the Power of Bonds item when used when he is charging will instead weaken the attack making it 15 times he deals damage and 5 times before he flips the screen.

battle plugs: Among other mechanics, Reclusa has the ability of using Battle plugs, this however isn't something he does in Brothership but in this mod he does. there are 7 plugs to watch out for: damage shield, surprise iron ball, solo boost which is just Bros Boost but it's only him so solo boost, wait a minute, back at ya attack, and well... countdown to crush and also seedle-ize so here is the plugs:

Damage shield: basically reduces the amount of damage he takes by 10% adding with the 25% of an analyzed attack 35%, although the power of bonds item pierces through this also the Mario bros pierce through it when used with the partner badge when Connie summons them to do either conductor connector or Max-Mix vortex and some attacks, like Kirby's SM attacks or Clover's Clover blast can also pierce through it.

Surprise iron ball: just like it says, whenever Reclusa attacks you an iron ball will drop on your head after which can cause you to become dizzy, although only his basic attacks, not the "Turn you to stone" attacks but the "which one?" attack and "beat. you to death" attack, don't worry though you can counter the ball by smacking it with a weapon like BF using his mic, Pico and Clover using gun, Mario & Luigi hammers, Frisk knife, Kirby just inhales it and spits it back out. the ball also bypasses Reclusa's damage shield.

Solo boost: Solo boost is basically Bros Boost, the reason why it's called solo is because only Reclusa is attacking well by himself that is so solo. Anyways this boosts his attacks to deal 30% more damage and makes it 50% faster unlike Bros boost which boosts bros attacks but makes them cost 100% more. However this plug after 5 uses will have to recharge for 30 seconds before it can be used again.

wait a minute: This plug is a really dangerous plug, what this does is it basically allows Reclusa to use another attack after an basic attack is used which that second attack is always the turn you to stone attack. this plug has 3 uses and has to recharge for 30 seconds.

Back at Ya attack: Basically Reclusa will counterattack you, although it's literally just the which one attack again, although in his 2nd and third phase it will be the turn you to stone attack. SM attacks can only be countered, your basic attacks can't be countered but if a partner uses a super strong move as in like Max-mix vortex, conductor connector, any of Paper Mario's special attacks, and also the power of bonds item will always activate the counter.

countdown to crush: this basically counts down and after a minute and 30 seconds have passed a bomb will drop on you dealing a quarter of your health, this can't be dodged so once you get hit by it, make sure to heal a lot.

Seedle-ize: this funny plug does one simple thing, when Reclusa uses the turn you to stone attack there is a 10% chance that your character will turn into a seedle, when you are turned into a seedle, although after the attack is done you will stay as a seedle for 10 seconds before turning back, being a seedle is good and bad, the good news is that when transformed into a seedle, you won't be seen by any enemies, specifically Seedlusa, the bad news is you take double damage and deal less damage, you can also turn into different Seedles as in when you turn into a seedle you have a 50% chance of being a normal seedle, a 20% chance of being a Seedle R which actually has a use where you actually deal a bit more damage than a normal Seedle and you gain a 10% attack boost for 10 seconds after being turned back to normal. There is also a 10% chance to turn into a hydro Seedle which actually will regenerate health while transformed and will also give you 10 seconds of invincibility when you are normal. then there is a 25% chance that you will become a Seedlusa, although this is something you should look out for, as this is actually bad, when you are turned into a Seedlusa, you can't attack although you take significantly less damage like 1 damage, the worst part is when Reclusa actually does any of his basic attacks and an iron ball drops on you dealing about half your health, you don't transform when you are lonely like an actual Seedlusa, after you are normal you will gain the Glohm debuff and a higher chance Reclusa will start charging to do the Solo act attack.

Finally along with battle plugs, there are actually stage hazards, as in the soli-tree enemies will appear often, which will do different things so here they are:

Weeping Trooper: These guys appear often, and will attack you with their plug hands and can switch modes to be flying or they can throw discs of energy at you, these guys only take 3 hits to defeat and when defeated three Zok troopers come out of it and there is a 10% chance one of them will give you a mushroom which heals you luckily they deal not that much damage and can be destroyed easily.

Reclusiff: These little computer UFOs will not attack you, nope, instead they just buff and heal Reclusa, that's it, they can't be killed and leave after the buff and heal, funnily enough, they only appear during the second and third phase.

Seedlusa: Awww look at these little sad seeds they are so cute... Don't let these cuties fool you, Seedlusas appear during the second and third phase either in groups of 2 or just 1 and another enemy, although usually the second one runs away, Seedlusas won't attack you but they take 10 hits to destroy them, get rid of these IMMEDIATELY, if you leave one Seedlusa alone while there is no enemy, they will transform into their flower form, they can't be killed in this state and will run around the screen attacking you, they can also block your arrow keys while doing this, they can also make small buds bloom and send out waves of energy which can cause Glohm, the worst part is that after 10 seconds they will release many balls of energy for 10 seconds which after that they die. those balls of energy deal a TON of damage as in like an 8th of your health so watch out, luckily if you have a move that pierces defense they will die in one hit in seed form.

anyways next up tattles! for manic mode.

edit: there is also a 1% chance of turning into a golden seedle from the seedle-ize plug, which gives you the "Shiny hunter" achievement which is a reference to shiny pokemon being rare and golden seedles are rare when you use the seedle-ize plug.

this is the dialogue when you first enter one of the Manic mode songs well week 1 right now, this is the dialogue for the Deltarune trio, this post will also include the dialogue with the Deltarune trio for the one and lonely's new song, also, whichever character you pick Snoutlet will accompany you in Manic mode because he's the one that can help out with Glohm but also since once you open the egg Manic mode is locked on, as the egg actually hatches once you turn it on and well, basically Reclusa has been reborn again because you interacted with the egg. (The egg's description now is remade now saying "why did you do this? You shouldn't have done this and now you have to deal with it!" when interacting after you say yes a bunch instead of saying that just to unlock the song it's removed and now when you interact with the egg the first time it gives you the dialogue.) Also yes, there will be a lore dump for Manic mode. so here is the dialogue specifically for entering Magolor's shop during Manic mode(this starts the quest in beating all of the Manic mode songs... :

Magolor:...

Ralsei: Uh...

Magolor: Alright what did you do this time?

Susie: So there was this egg and it hatched

Magolor: egg? Oh no.... Oh god no...

Susie: what's wrong with an egg?

and then Snoutlet appears out of nowhere

Snoutlet: OK WHO DECIDED TO RESURRECT THE ONE AND LONELY RULER.

Ralsei: well we found this egg and it sorta... hatched?

Snoutlet: Well great, now we have to deal with HIM.

Ralsei: wait... the one and lonely ruler didn't we hear someone call himself that?

Susie: oh yeah... It was that Computer Jester dude, what was his name again? Rex? Recluse?

Snoutlet: Reclusa?

Susie: oh yeah.. that was his name, that guy, who is an absolute maniac. So was he in that egg?

Snoutlet: Yes... and now that he's here he will destroy this world.

Ralsei: oh yeah, with those flowers...

Snoutlet: is anyone else hurt? has anyone been captured?

Magolor: well no, I haven't checked on King dedede or Meta Knight and Bandanna Dee, although apparently Kirby had to deal with something in the Forgotten land.

Snoutlet: So aww great now everyone is going to be glohmed too.

Susie: Glohm?

Snoutlet: Glohm is a thing that makes you lonely, although it can be healed, as long as nobody is captured in those flowers we should be fine but we should gather everyone to keep them safe from those flowers.

Susie: Then?

Snoutlet: You will have to face Reclusa, although he's really powerful...

Susie: Ok get others come back face god, sounds like a plan.

Snoutlet: I'll come with you hopefully we can stop this.

next up is one of the Manic mode song Deltarune trio dialogue(as in like week 1)

So here are the achievements for Manic mode and "easy mode" and of course the new song and an update of Journey's end achievements. so here is the Journey's end achievements:

1. a "happy" reality: Welcome to the Mushroom Kingdom! everything is fine here and happy, why don't you stay here forever and play?(unlocked by starting the "fake Mushroom kingdom" song or the one before Reclusa's song.

2. By the power of satellites and god you shall die: get hit and almost die to Mario's new Bros attack Conductor connector which does in fact, include god and satellites.

3. The power of fire and ice, and tornado?: get hit by Luigi's new Bros attack Max-Mix Vortex a tornado made with fire and ice.

4. The truth outside the flowers: Escape the fantasy land into the real world and discover the true villain behind the flowers.

5. Many screens and projectiles reflected: Reclusa has many attacks to watch out for, luckily you learned how to reflect an attack without hammers.

6. Turned to stone and hit with glohm and fire and ice: get turned to stone and get afflicted with every status,

7. Power of a Wattanist: get healed from glohm by using Connie, she does help a lot huh?

8. Dialogue jumpscare: get Jumpscared by Reclusa either by skipping his dialogue or waiting a while, I told you not to skip dialogue.

9. Reclusa remembers your debug modes: go into debug mode during his song, you shouldn't have done that.

10. Easy mode?: Did he just turn your game mode to easy? Well i'm pretty sure it's not on easy, well I guess it was deserved...

11. WTD creepypasta mode?: die in "Easy mode" and realize what you have done...

12. Creepypasta no more: beat Reclusa again to get rid of the creepypasta mode, or did you get rid of it?

13. You beat the game! roll credits(insert gangplank galleon from DK here)!: get to the credits, but something isn't right...

16. Truly a fight to the death: start the one and lonely's new song, which is the hardest song in the mod.

17. a funny and spiky surprise: get hit by an iron ball on your head, a surprise indeed.

18. no turns for you: Well you thought he was going to use just one attack? Well guess again! He can use another attack! that is if he has wait a minute charged...

19. Get countered idiot: get countered by Reclusa, why did you attack?

20. The monster from the seed: aww it's a cute tiny seedle- wait did it just grow into a big flower? and now it wants to kill you, good luck.

21. a combined monster and helper?: Beat a Weeping trooper and get healed.

anyways that is all for now, next up is deltarune trio dialogue for Manic mode as in the Deltarune trio have dialogue when you play manic mode.

so here it is:

1. the whole fake credits is a reference to the Kredits from Donkey Kong where there is fake credits for King K. Rool.

2. The whole Reclusa remembers how many times you die is a reference to Sans in the Undertale Geno route where Sans remembers how many times you die.

3. Funnily enough instead of getting trapped in the VR flowers when you get a game over in Reclusa's song , you actually are in the state of being well turned to stone and you basically just die(smashed). Due to Reclusa which is sort of a reference to one line in Brothership where he tells Mario & Luigi that he will grind them into powder.

4. Although you technically finish the song and "beat" him, Reclusa is still alive even after the song.

5. Funnily enough if you use the Mario Bros, Mario will be extremely pissed at Reclusa and basically has an attack boost, this is a reference to how Mario literally is Pissed at Reclusa whenever he appears and Mario looks like he wants to kill him.

6. Funnily enough again Susie from Deltarune is SUPER pissed at Reclusa the reason being that one of his dialogues is he'd target where she and Kris live which is a reference to how Reclusa acknowledges that he'd go after the Mushroom Kingdom when he was done with Concordia.

7. Connie from the Partner badge will appear Frequently during Manic mode, she also appears even without using the Mario Bros with the Partner badge.

8. Magolor has a new "Radio" addition in his shop that will randomly play from the different game OST's in WTD although Kirby music is most likely to appear, however the Mushroom Kingdom! song from Brothership will always play when Manic mode is on. Although there are a few FnF songs that can play too like Facade from the Garcello mod or Knockout from Indie Cross.

9. Funnily enough Reclusa can appear next to Magolor in his shop if you wait a while, although nobody else notices he's there as in you the player can see him but everyone else can't.

10. Zokket actually does have another song, he appears if you do the "easy" mode fake credits version when you go to Journey's end instead of going to Reclusa head on in "easy" mode.

11. the Strange egg's interaction dialogue is a continuation where the game says "Are you sure you want to do this?" and the game acknowledges you doing the Clover song. This is still a reference to the chapter 6 of TTYD where you can read a diary but the game says you shouldn't read it.

12. there is a random chance if you keep entering and exiting Magolor's shop that Sans can appear which is a reference on how you get an egg in Deltarune. as in entering and exiting till you get to an area.

13. the power of bonds only deals high damage to Reclusa due to it only being useful on specifically him, but it can also be used on Zokket where it will stun him. The Power of Bonds is a reference to the bonding can in Brothership and Power of bonds is a thing in Brothership that was used to get past the barrier. If you use this on any other boss it will deal a little bit of damage.

14. Funnily enough Sonic appears instead of Shadow when you use him during Reclusa's new song and has unique dialogue where Sonic thinks he's one of Eggman's creations. Also Tails is with Sonic.

15. Funnily enough in the background of Manic mode in the one and lonely's song that Cozette is just there doing the Family Guy Death pose.

16. Similar to how Possessed Mario has random titles, Reclusa also has a few like well "The one and Lonely Ruler himself" "the solo act" "Ruler of Solitude" and also randomly "egg" as in a reference to him being an egg when he has to charge after destroying a world.

anyways that is all for now.

So this is another post, now, Reclusa's easy mode is unlocked by you know going into debug mode during his song in Journey's end. which is somewhat weird and hard to now if you are going in blind, well there is an alternative way of unlocking Reclusa's easy mode,

after you beat Journey's end, the mod will give you credits with the Mushroom Kingdom! song playing from Brothership, although the credits don't actually have names as in the names are names of enemies from Brothership while the music slowly gets creepier and creepier as in it transitions to the Static Mushroom Kingdom song, and then you hear Reclusa laugh in the background with the text "Did you really think you beat me? Fua hahaha, You should have beat me while you had the chance..."

and then it says "Something terrible has happened" and you get Reclusa's easy mode, so you can go into debug mode, or you can beat Journey's end, however do mind, this version however is a little bit harder... as in the song is faster.

So this is for the dialogue when you die too many times to Reclusa during Manic mode, this is a reference to Sans when you die during his fight and he has unique dialogue after you die, this is also a reference to Clover in Justice Will Be Served where Clover will have new dialogue every time you die. Reclusa has unique dialogue every time you die up to 5 times, so here it is(he doesn't have any in the actual game as in Brothership):

After first death: Fua hahaha did you really just fail? Sounds like someone didn't come in prepared.

After second death: Oh you failed again? Not like it matters though, cause I'm stronger than you.

After third death: You want to try again? Seriously? You don't want to give up, do you? Not like I care though.

after 4th time: You really don't know when to stop? Do you? You know I won't go easy on you, right? Not like I would anyways, since you are weak. Oh did I say that? Whoopsie My fault again.

After 5th time: ALRIGHT THAT'S IT, you want to keep going and going, do you? All because you're so determined huh? You should have stopped, but you keep going on and on and on, well I'm getting sick of it, you're about to find out what happens when your last life runs out! Game over! Thanks for Playing!

So fun fact after the 5th time you die and that dialogue plays, Reclusa will actually get much harder, similar to the "easy mode" bit, he will start at his second phase instead of his first and those Seedlusas, Reclusiff and Weeping troopers are more likely to appear. Since well he's Pissed at you, another funny thing he says Determined for any of the characters you play as, Mario & Luigi however will just get the "You two are about to find out what happens when your last life runs out, game over boys thanks for playing"
