When he first encounters Kirby in Floral Fields he turns a flower into a sentient tree called Flowery Woods in order to fight him to which Kirby defeats him.

In Endless Explosions, he meets Pyribbit and throws a stone at it to provoke it and makes it look like Kirby did it. Kirby then defeats him and continues to follow him.
In Royal Road, when he makes it to Queen Sectonia's castle, he tells Kirby about Queen Sectonia's plan and puppetized King Dedede into Masked Dedede to fight him. When he defeats him, he realizes that Kirby was the hero called by the Dream Stalk. He calls for Queen Sectonia to save him, but she blasts him away instead. After Kirby defeats her twice and traps him in a vine after she fused with the Dream Stalk, he gives Kirby a Miracle fruit to gain the Hypernova copy ability to defeat her.
