About Mixing

When inhaling two enemies with abilities, a mix will be preformed upon swallowing them. The starting position of the roulette depends on the first enemy you inhale. Methods for landing a mix vary from person to person: some involve counting the audible ticks in your head, looking for a certain ability on the roulette, or counting in a specific rhythm. The order of abilities is shown below:

Tutorial Wheel Mix

For this mix, Wheel is in the 17th slot in the roulette. Setting up Wheel Mix is not very difficult however getting wheel is a 4 frame window right in the middle of the mix. This trick will never be 100% consistent and it takes a long to develop the muscle memory for it. If you miss the mix, you can reset the room by entering and exiting the door. If the AI Kirbys get in your way, just exit the room and press R to call them back out.

Gobbler (UFO) Mix

For this mix, UFO is in the 13th slot in the roulette, and Fire in the 14th. Setting up for this mix more difficult compared to Wheel Mix, however it is easier to time. A successful mix will either result in UFO or Fire, which means the mix has an 8 frame window. You then use UFO or Fire to break the bomb block that is usually unreachable for the player, which skips navigating around a large room.

Dark Mind UFO Mix

For this mix, UFO is in the 19th slot in the roulette. In order to initiate a mix, you will need to inhale a green star. The roulette slows down the moment it reaches throw, which makes timing for UFO easier. Since the frame window is over 4 frames, you can pause buffer during the mix and wait for UFO to appear meaning you should land the mix so long as you pause buffer fast enough.

If you inhale two stars simultaneously, you can also perform alternative mixes. The roulette differs depending on what color star you inhale first. The setups for these mixes vary depending on Dark Mind's attack pattern.

  • Inhaling a blue star causes UFO to appear in the 20th slot in the roulette.
  • Inhaling a red star causes UFO to appear in the 21st slot in the roulette.
  • Inhaling a purple star causes UFO to appear in the 6th slot in the roulette.

While not easy to set up, this mix is easy to time as Wheel is the first obtainable ability in the roulette. If timed correctly, mashing or double-tapping will consistently grant you the Wheel ability. If you miss the initial timing however, Wheel will reappear in the 26th slot.
