Two Waddle Dees Riding their Own Forms of Transportation...

After Kirby & co. return home, dejected, Kirby finds an unfamiliar face imprisoned in a burlap sack. It's the Blob Girl! Blob tells Kirby she's been watching him closely after he freed Gooey, and says she'll let him in on two secrets:

One: Gooey and Blob are Dark Matter's youngest servants, created specifically to match Kirby and overpower him two-to-one. The reason they never did, was because Gooey ran off on his own and attacked random people thinking they were Kirby, getting himself kidnapped. Whenever Kirby would free him, Gooey would thank him for his kindness and move on; in his mind, even though he was being rescued by someone named Kirby, it couldn't be the Kirby because he was nice to him. Why would he kill him if he was nice? So in observing Gooey's antics, Blob decided Kirby was worth observing and spied on him. She willingly got herself captured so the two could talk to each other.

Two: Repairing the Rainbow Bridge requires more than just the Rainbow Drops. They are the key elements, but they must be 'bonded' together using small stars. Dark Matter tore the bridge asunder and scattered the stars among the six islands before Dark Castle, and now the powers in charge of the islands guard them.

Kirby is shocked that Gooey was made of Dark Matter the whole time and didn't say anything, but he supposes it never came up in conversation. He is hesitant to trust Blob, but he recognizes that she wouldn't have told him her secrets if she still wanted to work for Dark Matter. It was the truth, and Kirby is sure of what he must do now. He heads back through all the islands, gathering small stars!
