It was so so cool!!! I had a blast playing it!

I find it impressive how this game mode really sinks in how weak Magolor has gotten. There is such a difference between playing as Kirby, and when playing as early-game Magolor.

I love that the levels are a mix of original levels and remixes of levels from the base game. Whenever it's a level from the base game, you have to go through it in reverse (from right to left, instead of the usual left to right, which was the way you went when playing as Kirby) and with the purple wall right behind you.

I also appreciated the way the bosses have changed order and elements.

I love that it's mainly just the base game but messier and all mixed up. It feels like a story you try to remember but your memory gets confused and it mixes up the order of events. It fills up the gaps with whatever it can (just like the orignal levels in between the old ones). Like you're trying to remember when it started, and that's why you start from the end and go back to the beginning of the levels that actually happened in the base game, as if trying to remember the beginning of something, tracing back your steps to figure it out.

But it is so, so messy. The memories are foggy, it looks and sounds similar and yet nothing feels the same.

What Magolor might be trying to remember, I don't know.

There is obviously the interpretation that he has to go on the very same path Kirby went in his adventure. A way of showing him the trouble Kirby had to go through in order to help him, so now Magolor can understand how messed up it was to betray someone who went this far and wide without ever asking for something in return. It's one way the Epilogue has to represent Magolor's redemption.

Yes there's a bit of that.

But I might add, like I said, it's not just going back on Kirby's steps. We are doing it in reverse, we are going back to something prior, to the very beginning.

So that's why I like to interpret it as Magolor trying to remember something, the very beginning. The moment it all went wrong.
