Adeleine, the adorable little artist from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, is becoming a bit of an obscure character as time goes on. The N64 title was a big hit and people easily became attached to the character, but unfortunately Nintendo seems to have left Adeleine behind a bit. Certainly not the most well known or important of characters out there, we do have to say that a place on the roster will probably not be open for the little painter this time around.

But an assist trophy….? Maybe you’re onto something there, Anon.

It’s generally agreed upon that Adeleine is a girl, but there are some that will disagree just because she looks rather androgynous. For the purpose of this entry, we’re going to go with the consensus and call her female JUST so we don’t have to avoid using pronouns any longer. :P

So what exactly does Adeleine do? Why, she paints! And we’re all very proud of her excellent artistic talent.

D'aww, lookit ‘er go.

Adeleine possesses the strange and intriguing ability to make her paintings come to life right before your eyes! Literally. And that was bad news for Kirby when the two of them first met. When Kirby encountered Adeleine, she was possessed by an evil being referred to as Dark Matter. She used her powers against him and created a couple of tough foes for you to fight while she cackled in the background.

By the time the fight was over, Adeleine was back to normal and she felt that she had to make it up to her new friends. So she tagged along, lending Kirby her powers (Typically by creating items for him to use) Along his journey.

We have to admit one thing: It would be VERY easy to come up with a moveset for Adeleine. Her ability to form whatever she wishes out of thin air is one NEAT power, and a very versatile one at that. But as it is….she’s really not important enough for the roster. Just like many others on this blog though, if she were to make a couple more important appearances in the Kirby series then we could possibly see her making her way onto the roster in a later installment of the Smash series.

As an Assist, Adeleine would be COMPLETELY random. She could help you by giving you items right next to you, or appear in her possessed form and send a barrage of enemies raining down on your foes. And maybe YOU too. Who knows what would go through her crazy mind in that state.

As or the likelihood of her appearance….We’re on the fence. On the one hand, there’s been TWO installments in the Smash series since she was last relevant, but on the OTHER hand, she’s pretty well liked and this concept is pretty dang neat, not to mention the fact that her inclusion in the Smash series would remind people how neat of a character she is and prompt them to request her in more Kirby games.

She may not be our NUMBER 1 most likely assist trophy….but it’d sure be cool as hell, eh?

An excellent suggestion if ever we heard one….Do come by again, anon!
