Appearance
Halberd Reactor consists of two large, separated, metal bases. In between the two halves floats a glowing crystal within an electromagnetic field. The lower base has an arrangement of spikes protruding outward around the core. A large cannon is mounted at the front of this half.
Games
Kirby Super Star
Halberd Reactor appears as a boss in Revenge of Meta Knight, found after battling Heavy Lobster but before facing Meta Knight. It appears again as a boss within The Arena.
Halberd Reactor is faced in a small metal room with Wheelies encased in the background. It consists of two main parts, a cannon and the power core. Attacking the cannon is not necessary to defeat the Reactor but will disable it to prevent further attacks from it. Doing so does not reduce the boss' life meter any.
The lower cannon shakes before releasing a giant blast that sweeps across the screen. This only fires in a straight, linear path. A series of panels roll out beneath the grated floor and launch up a wave of fireballs. These can be attacked and destroyed to prevent the attack. A laser gun drops from above to various points in the chamber and targets the player. It can be destroyed with an attack, but the reflecting laser it fires is the only means of damaging the reactor core. The player has to guide the beam so that it strikes the crystal.
Kirby Super Star Ultra
Halberd Reactor returns with minor adjustments to its appearance and demonstrates the same behavior as before. It is not featured in any new Arena sub-games.
