How about you guys? Do you think theyвЂ™re canon, do you think they arenвЂ™t, or do you think we should wait for the release of more Dream Friends before closing this case? Because of all this, IвЂ™d consider the DLC Dream Friends in Star Allies to be canon. All three are equally possible, and IвЂ™m fine with any of them since they all point to Marx returning in later games, which is always cool to see. For all we know, he couldвЂ™ve reformed, he could be planning to trick Kirby again (which is likely considering the evil grins he commonly gives), or weвЂ™ll never get an answer. Downloadable Content in a ton of other games are canon to their timelines as well, so why would Kirby be any different? At this point, the only question would be why Marx would team up with Kirby again. ThereвЂ™s no reason to think otherwise with Marx just because heвЂ™s DLC. While he was KirbyвЂ™s friend turned enemy, Magolor has proven that you can canonically befriend Kirby, betray him, turn into a world-ending entity, and live to tell the tale no matter how dead you seem to be.

Those two are 100% KirbyвЂ™s friends, and they never disappeared, so them helping Kirby to fight a global crisis is more believable than them sitting it out. On the other hand, Rick & Kine & Coo and Gooey have no real reason to not be canon other than being released at the same time as Marx. A lot of people donвЂ™t consider them to be canon due to Marx, in particular, being implied to be dead. IвЂ™ll just get this out of the way, Bandana Dee, King Dedede, and Meta Knight are 100% canon as Dream Friends since theyвЂ™re encountered throughout the story and are in the base game.
