[DESCRIPTION OF VARIOUS VIDEOS UPLOADED UNDER PROJECT "PHIDOT"]

OVERVIEW OF PROJECT:
>>> On February 7th, 2023, Kirb privately announced a hiatus he would be taking for most of the year to spend time bettering his mentality. While these matters need not be discussed publicly, this led to him needing outlets to blow off steam and express how he felt. One of these projects was titled [phiDOT].

>>> SEASON 1
> phiDOT began on February 24th, 2023 with little plan to do anything important. The visual design took existing characters and mutated them into monochrome copies, albeit with heavy edits. The characters seem to live in a forever-spanning void with sparsely-placed man-made constructs. There is no terrain, and any machines, plant life or other physical objects may spawn from the same essence that creates the copies.
> There are [26] episodes in Season 1, and aside from the final one, are each 30 seconds in length. The season is split into [4] sections that are tinted with a different color. Sections 1 and 4 contain [7] episodes while Sections 2 and 3 contain [6]. Also, some episodes will contain text written in [Berrunic], an alphabet comprised of Kirb's own runic lettering.
> The episodes can be described as follows:

>> Ф.A
> Kade's Mimic stands and stares at the viewer with a creepy smile and blank, white eyes. It jumpscares the viewer with a loud breathing sound and getting close to the camera in the last 2 seconds. This Section is tinted magenta.

>> Ф.B
> Kade's Mimic sits in the middle of a large group of prisms for the duration of the video.

>> Ф.C
> Small, bird-like creatures are huddled in a pile near the bottom-left of the screen. It can be interpreted that the prisms were some form of egg, and these creatures harched from them.

>> Ф.D
> Asriel's Mimic standing at a side view and staring at the viewer. Liquid-like waves of the essence cover his lower half.

>> Ф.E
> Asriel's Mimic proudly displaying his weapon, which also takes inspiration from the original's Chaos Sabre.

>> Ф.F
> Kurson's Mimic switching back and forth between the left and right sides of the screen. He repeatedly says "REGENERATE", "RESTORE", "REVITALIZE", "REPROGRAM".

>> Ф.G
> What appears to be Kirb from a back angle, turning his head to look at the viewer from the side. He is hyperventilating while the regular ambience is replaced by an increasing heartbeat. The camera cuts back and forth between Kirb and Kade's Mimic; the Mimic stands next to a clock with broken hands and all the numbers replaced with Xs. The art style also becomes more rough and sketch-like, and repeats in further videos as a way to end each Section.

>> Ф.H
> Chisk's Mimic is standing in a rainstorm while brandishing their weapon. They occasionally blink but otherwise stare motionless at the viewer. This Section is tinted turquoise.

>> Ф.I
> A large machine holding an empty heart-shaped object. The footage goes blank a couple of times before showing the heart slightly fuller each time.

>> Ф.J
> An injection needle is shown with "EXTRACT" written above it in Berrunic. The screen glitches heavily while the assets change; "EXTRACT" is written legibly, the needle becomes realistic stock art of itself, and the background is a much brighter, cloudy texture.

>> Ф.K
> A more info-heavy animation with Kade & Chisk's Mimics. Kade's carries some filled heart capsules over to Chisk's, proceeding to slice them open with their weapon. The hearts' fluid spills out and Kade's Mimic seemingly picks it up via levitation.

>> Ф.L
> A vertical loading bar is on the left, a legible percentage count is in the middle, and a rapidly-spinning clock is on the right. This indicates progression of time and gathering resources. The percentage and bar start at 25% and hit 76% when the video ends.

>> Ф.M
> Kirb is shown twitching while hunched over, leanjng on a wall with one hand pressed to it. A close-up of Kade's Mimic's hand is shown, snapping to get Kirb's attention. Kirb is shown turning around, mouth agape and eyes widened. The Mimic holds a hand out with a menacing expression, offering one of the heart capsules to Kirb. Kirb is shown immobile, blinking a couple of times before the video ends.

>> Ф.N
> Cloud's Mimic is standing with his arms and legs wobbling in a 2-frame animation. The screen goes black multiple times with the Mimic changing spots each time it comes back. This Section is tinted yellow.

>> Ф.O
> Thunder's Mimic is shown controlling the lighting; a sound effect plays and bolts animate across his body whenever he turns the lights on.

>> Ф.P
> Jett's Mimic is shown in disrepair, laying comatose on the ground with his body parts torn to shreds. Many scratches and exposed wires cover his metallic body. His screen, where his eyes would be, flicker with static in the last few seconds, then show a single red eye.

>> Ф.Q
> Pumpers's Mimic is dancing to a song with music note particles floating around them.

>> Ф.R
> Many doors of varying designs floating within a close proximity of each other.

>> Ф.S
> Kirb is shown kneeling down and crying to himself. Kade's Mimic watches from a distance, then is shown much closer, likely trying to intimiate Kirb further.

>> Ф.T
> Kirb is shown struggling to swim, motion lines and bubbles around him. This actually Mimics the art used in Air Breather. This Section is tinted red and introduces a Pause/Play button in the bottom-left of the screen; this video is on Pause.

>> Ф.U
> Kirb is standing in an open area with multiple speech bubbles popping in and out around him. This video is on Play.

>> Ф.V
> Kirb is laying on his back, staring at the sky with an unamused expression. This video is on Pause.

>> Ф.W
> Kirb is pressed against a wall looking nervous, trying to overhear a conversation between two parties. More speech bubbles appear as the indistinct characters talk. This video is on Play.

>> Ф.X
> Kirb is holding a large padlock by the arch piece, similar to a briefcase. This video is on Play.

>> Ф.Y
> Kirb is bound to chains latched on his arms while his hair covers most of his face. This video is on Pause until the last few seconds where he opens his eyes and raises his eyebrows in surprise, the button changing to Play.

>> Ф.Z
> The only video out of the bunch to be more than 30 seconds long; it is a conversation between Kirb and what could be Kirb's own Mimic. The ambience is replaced with distorted and slowed music off of Kirb's channel, being [""Error in My Code" ~ SonicKade original"]. A transcription is as follows:

####################

####################

> When Kirb says his line, the visual style changes to outline him in black and fill in his colors. Afterward, the screen fades to black and shows the end scene. The phiDOT logo fades in, and after a few seconds, "phiDOT by SonicKade2048" is shown. The video ends there.

>>> SEASON 2
> Kirb's perception of his vent projects slowly changed as the year went on, leading into 2024. He decided to attempt a second season of phiDOT, alongside completing Episode 1 of CONFINED ATONEMENT and publicizing SONICKADE: Genocide Run.
> Regarding phiDOT, Season 2 had a total of [22] episodes, but [4] extra videos linked to its story pre-and-post-release. They will be documented [on this page] while the phiDOT episodes are below.

>> Ф.9
> A larger, more lizard-like version of Kade's Mimic faces the viewer with their hands close to their torso and smiling wide. This may be the SonicKade sona's Mimic due to process of elimination; it also has a pronounced tail and mainly resembles a Shy Guy. This Section is tinted orange.

>> Ф.8
> The same Mimic is shown curled up on the ground, fast asleep. It has a 2-frame animation to show it breathing and its tail wagging.

>> Ф.7
> Mimics of Shade, Tyria & Starstrike are together, skipping in a single-file line one after the other. The camera is at a side angle while they all look at the viewer.

>> Ф.6
> Shade & Tyria's Mimics are playing Tug-of-War while Starstrike's watches. He glances and blinks back and forth between the other two and the viewer.

>> Ф.5
> Necro's Mimic is also standing idly while looking at the viewer. Necro's Mimic's eyes are animated with a polygonal effect to show motion.

>> Ф.4
> Twilight's Mimic has her eyes the same as Necro's, though she is posing more dramatically. Her head is at a side angle looking at the sky, but in the last 2 seconds she fixes her gaze on the viewer.

>> Ф.3
> The camera is scrolling up from below to show Twilight's Mimic flying above Necro's, the both of them smiling and enjoying each other's company.

>> Ф.2
> Springbound's Mimic is kneeling down close to the camera, lightly breathing while twitching his hands and face.

>> Ф.1
> The camera moves between showing Kirb's hands and face. He is looking down at them, then back up to stare at a door in the distance. "EXIT" is wrtiten above it in Berrunic. The second time the door is shown, an arrow cursor is pointing up at it from below. In the last few frames of the video, Kirb's body disappears with only his eyes remaining. It then cuts to black.

>> Ф.0
> A video showing a conversation between Kade and Kirb. Kirb wakes Kade up from stasis and briefs him on the situation seen in ["More Than One Comeback - SonicKade2048"]. Kirb convinces Kade to go through phiDOT's Middle Plane -- where all the Mimics reside and episodes take place -- describing it as "trials". Despite being part of the season, this will also be documented further on the NegaDrive page as it is formatted like a lore episode.

>> Ф.-1
> Following the previous episode, we now see an adapted Kade within phiDOT's realm. He adheres to the artstyle with some minor design edits and is running across land. He tweens from the left off-screen to the middle and stays there until the end, tweening off-screen to the right. Kade's Mimic can briefly be seen at 0:22 in the background, surprised at Kade's presence. This Section is tinted cool blue.

>> Ф.-2
> Chisk's and Kurson's Mimics are talking to each other before Kade shows up; he is perplexed at their appearance. Chisk's Mimic assumes a battle stance while Kurson's is shocked. Kade thinks for a moment before leaping onto the Mimics' heads a la Mario. The two are left dumbfounded while Kade makes his way off-screen. Near the end, they focus their gaze on Kade's Mimic who zips by in a few frames while wind ambience plays. The video abruptly goes black.

>> Ф.-3
> Kade stands with Asriel's Mimic amidst the same waves from Episode D, both staring at each other. The camera moves closer to Kade to show his amazement and confusion, examining the Mimic. The camera then moves up to the Mimic's face. The scene glitches to show Asriel himself before a blue sky, visualizing Kade's comparison. It switches back to the side view and the same wind is heard again. Kade notices and quickly dives below the fluid. His Mimic dashes by and the screen goes black again.

>> Ф.-4
> Kade explores the areas of Episodes R, I, and C. He stands on the other side of the glass doors in the 1st screen, looking through them. He holds and inspects one of the heart capsules after taking it out of the machine in the 2nd scene. He is flinching out of confusion towards the small chirping creatures in the 3rd scene, briefly looking at the viewer too.

>> Ф.-5
> Thunder's Mimic is carrying Cloud's Mimic high in the air, presumably helping with quick transport. Kade slowly moves out from behind them and the camera switches to his perspective below halfway through the video.

>> Ф.-6
> Kade is battling Jett's Mimic in a standoff; Kade looks determined while the mimic looks scared. The Mimic fires energy blasts towards Kade while Kade parries with his weapon, and the background flashes with each parry. This continues until the last 4 seconds of the video; Kade dashes towards Jett's Mimic and the screen turns black, sound effects playing in rapid succession.

>> Ф.-7
> Kade is using his Spin Dash move to chase down Pumpers's Mimic while they run away, both displayed on a music stave. Music notes come from the right side of the screen and tween left. Each note disappears and plays a chime sound when Pumpers's Mimic runs into one. The Mimic acts the same when Kade rushes forward and rams them, and Kade's Mimic once again hovers in from the left.

>> Ф.-8
> Kade explores the areas of Episodes T through Y. He floats with the bubbles in the 1st scene, is cornered by the speech bubbles in the 2nd, glares at the two unknown characters in the 3rd scene, pushes the padlock to the right in the 4th scene, and inspects the broken chains in the 5th. He is then caught off-guard by Kirb's Mimic as he shouts "FACE ME, YOU FREAK OF NATURE." and draws his weapon at Kade.

>> Ф.-9
> A conversation similar to Episode Z in the same format. The ambience is replaced with distorted and slowed music off of Kirb's channel, being [""Error in My Code" ~ SonicKade original"]. Here is the transcript:

####################

> THE FOLLOWING IS AN AUDIO RECORDING CAPTURED FROM [UNIVERSE ID-706869444F5F]
> [MIMIC] THERE'S NO REASON FOR YOU TO BE HERE.
> [MIMIC] I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU MANAGED TO JOIN OUR WORLD, BUT BY ALL MEANS YOU DON'T BELONG.
> [MIMIC] ZETA AND THE OTHERS ALREADY ALERTED ME.
> [MIMIC] YOU ARE WHOM ZETA WAS CREATED FROM.
> [MIMIC] HE IS YOUR COUNTERPART.
> [MIMIC] BUT WHY ARE YOU HERE?
> [MIMIC] WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU CAN RUMMAGE OUR LANDSCAPE?
> [MIMIC] I COULD JUST AS EASILY FOLLOW YOU TO YOUR HOME, ATTACK YOUR COMPANIONS AND RUIN YOUR TERRITORY, ALL THE SAME WAY YOU TREATED US AS THREATS.
> [MIMIC] YOU THINK YOU ARE HIGH AND MIGHTY.
> [MIMIC] YOU THINK YOU CAN BE SO SMUG.
> [MIMIC] YOU THINK YOU CAN BE A "HERO".
> [MIMIC] YOU ARE NOT PART OF OUR WORLD.
> [MIMIC] WE ARE SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW.
> [MIMIC] CAN'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU'RE UP AGAINST?
> [MIMIC] JUST TELL ME WHY YOU CAME HERE.

####################

> At this point, the screen fades to and from black to show Kirb holding a key with the Phi symbol on it. He says a line of dialogue, followed by red flashes and an alarm. Kirb fades away while more Berrunic shows up with a text-to-speech voice reading it. The video fades to black and ends there.

####################

> [KIRB] ...because it's time for phiDOT to end.
> [WARNING]
> [WARNING]
> [WARNING]
> [SYSTEM SHUTDOWN OVERRIDE ON]

####################

>> Ф.-0
> The camera begins zooming out from Kirb at his own control panel. The Berrunic translates from top to bottom as "SHUTDOWN", "REBOOT" and "BACKGROUND COLOR". It changes angles and zooms out to get Kade in view. The third camera angle initiates dialogue:

####################

> [Kade lurches forward in a panic]
> [KADE] "KIRB! Come on, we gotta get out of here!"
> [He feints back in shock]
> [KIRB] "I'm not YOUR Kirb, idiot. I'm phiDOT's Kirb."
> [Scene switch to Kirb]
> [KIRB] "I'm not letting this place out of my sight..."
> [Kirb shuffles and looks downward]
> [KIRB] "...but that means I'm going down with it."
> [Camera shot of Kade at a close distance; he waits then looks towards the camera, scared]
> [KIRB] "Meanwhile, you've got company."
> [Close-up view of Kirb's Mimic, brief fade to him at a distance too; animated flash to all other Mimics showing up behind him]
> [Side view of Kade even more scared, then several close-ups of the group of Mimics, followed by Kade running off-screen and a white flash]
> [Fade back in to Kade running in the middle of the screen, some Mimics' hands and weapons appear from the left edge; one fires an attack and strikes Kade, sending him into the air; he lands then dashes forward, and after a few seconds, slides into the EXIT door from Episode 1; he lays face-down on the ground before his original palette fades over him]

####################

>> Ф._
> The screen fades in from black to show Kade as he was in the previous episode. He stands up and looks around for a short while, and the scene soon shows the main command terminal for phiDOT. The terminal reads as follows:

####################

> ## Shutdown protocol has been activated...

> ## phiDOT will now close. Please wait.

> !! ERROR !! |Fatal stop|
> !! ERROR !! |Shutdown protocol ended|

> %OUTPUT%
> Core needs permission to continue shutdown.
> Please type a command to proceed.

> &YES // &NO

####################

> The video then shows Kade thinking to himself as Season 1 and 2 episodes are superimposed over him at half opacity. Once done, he enters a command and the terminal responds, and afterward, it assumes a similar endcard to Episode Z.

####################

> &YES
> Command accepted. phiDOT has now closed.

####################

>> Ф.
> An epilogue-type episode to round off the season with. It is 25 seconds of ambience on a white screen, which then plays a Spin Dash sound effect and shows the SonicKade sona rolling across the screen. He pulls and drops off the thumbnail to CONFINED ATONEMENT, teasing its first episode later that year.

>>> SEASON 3
> The plan for Season 3 was to use characters owned by his friends or others adjacent to his social status. All new Mimics shown are based on characters Kirb does not own himself & reference outside sources a viewer of the channel would not recognize normally.
> The season also swapped out its regular background anbience for slowed, distorted edits of rips & original music on Kirb's channel, and retains the same Section groupings & colorings from Season 1.

>> Ф.-Z
> A Mimic with a serpent design is floating idly and staring at the viewer. They have segmented parts that hover around them to form their body shape. The animation begins slowing and stopping after 22 seconds, and then the Mimic smiles. The audio used is ["Cascade ~ SK Arr."].

>> Ф.-Y
> The serpent is repeatedly floating from one side of the screen to the other. They start from the top-left and make their way to the top-right. They then go from the bottom-right to the bottom-left and repeat the cycle. After the 5th movement, they appear from the bottom-middle, much closer to the camera at a front-facing angle. The audio used is ["Title Screen (Alpha Mix) - Funland Redux"].

>> Ф.-X
> A Mimic with a crustacean design is animating in the middle of the screen. It sways its claws & idles its legs back and forth, pausing once to look left and right. The audio used is ["SAKK - Roborobopico (In-Game Version)"].

>> Ф.-W
> The crustacean is chasing down one of the small creatures from Episode C. The animation loops for 19 seconds before cutting to black. The creature is then shown screaming while in the Mimic's grasp, and a large crunch sound plays before it goes black again. The last shot of the video is a small pile of particles on the ground, likely implying the Mimic ate the creature as prey. The audio used is ["Theme Song (Beta Mix) - Kirb: Nightmare in Funland"].

>> Ф.-V
> A humanoid Mimic with a large coat and brimmed hat stands in the middle of the screen, staring at the viewer and sometimes blinking. The audio used is ["Some Time to Ourselves - OuterLegends"].

>> Ф.-U
> The same Mimic is at a workstation while spark effects and shock noises emit from them. A large, robot-esque Mimic is on the right of the screen, unresponsive, and it seems to resemble Kade's Mimic. To the left is a mushroom-like plant sitting in a container. The Phi symbol is on the back of the Mimic's coat, surrounded by a 6-pointed, eye-shaped symbol. The audio used is ["Many Moons Ago... - OuterLegends"].

>> Ф.-T
> The video is of Kirb talking to himself about phiDOT being reopened. The audio used is ["Rise, Once Again - SonicKade: Genocide Run"]. A transcript is below:

####################

> [Kirb from a side angle with a distraught expression]
> "Why am I awake again."
> [Camera moves to Kirb's lower body as he kneels with his hands pressed to the ground]
> "I shut phiDOT DOWN."
> [Extreme close-up of the right half of Kirb's face from the front]
> "That crazy do-good-er already left."
> [Outward shot of Kirb]

> "WHY DID PHIDOT RETURN..?!"
> "WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS..?!"

####################

>> Ф.-S
> A Mimic with a decorated, hooded robe floats in the middle of the screen. Animated stars are glittered around them while they hold a staff. The top of it is shaped like a crescent moon, as well as them having a similarly-shaped pin on their hood and their closed eye resembling one. The audio used is ["Opening Animation - Rock Bottom"].

>> Ф.-R
> A half-constructed Mimic with more segmented limbs. They float immobilized with their sharp-clawed hands by their sides, twisted spikes making up their forearms. Their torso is either in layers or one big coil, judging by the spiral formation. They are inactive until the last 5 seconds of the video, where their pupil slides into view on their single eye. The audio used is ["Enter The Abyss - Rock Bottom"].

>> Ф.-Q
> A Mimic designed as a chef, tossing seemingly-edible essence with a frying pan. The animation loops for the duration of the video. The audio used is ["Hoping For The Best - Kade Evolution"].

>> Ф.-P
> Another slow camera pan upwards. An armored Mimic stands at a side view with a strong look in their eyes. They have many white triangles across their body, either being decoration or battle scars. The audio used is ["Krux Battle ~ Phase 1 - Kade Evolution"].

>> Ф.-O
> A large, pyramid-shaped clock tower with Berrunic scrawled on the center pillar, reading "AETHERA". There are 5 sharp points at the top of it while the Phi symbol sits in the center of the clock itself. The audio used is ["Debut Theme - Kirb: Adventure in Funland (2024)"].

>> Ф.-N
> Another video of Kirb talking to himself. The audio used is [""Air Breather" ~ SonicKade2048 fan-song"]. A transcript is below:

####################

> [Zoom-in on Kirb holding a fireball-shaped object in his hands]
> "These souls feel too familiar."
> "It makes me uneasy knowing I've seen them before."
> [Over-the-shoulder angle from behind Kirb's head; four of the above-mentioned Mimics are farther in the background]
> "Their shapes- silhouettes..."
> "I recognize them, but..."
> "...their phiDOT names aren't their true ones."
> "They're not my own creations."
> [Closer front view of Kirb, staring]
> "Whoever reopened phiDOT had plans."
> "This is MY domain to uphold."

####################

>> Ф.-M
> A large, striped cloud-shaped Mimic with two big wings and a split halo, one half white and the other black. They have two eyes vertically positioned in their center. They watch the viewer as they flap their wings. The audio used is ["Title Screen - COPS (NES)"].

>> Ф.-L

>> Ф.-K
> A lanky humanoid Mimic stands with a floating Mimic resembling a canine. The symbols for their names are imprinted on the front of their torsos. The humanoid has no head and their eyes & mouth hover on their own. The canine has no limbs nor facial features other than their ears and snout. The camera pans downward slowly. The audio used is ["Venturing into the Mechanized World (Beta Mix) - Kirby: Planet Robobot"].

>> Ф.-J
> Two serpentine figures made of thin segmented rectangles and no further limbs stare at each other from a side view. The left one has visible "V" in its head markings, and it has an look in its black eyes with its eyebrows lowered. The right one has a visible "N" and has a neutral look in its white eyes with no eyebrows. The audio used is ["Up in the Ocean's Waves (Alpha Mix) - Kirb's Return to Funland"].

>> Ф.-I
> A large screen with the Phi symbol on it sits in the middle of the video. The symbol has a music notes on both sides, all of which are pixelated. A stream of noise is flowing into the screen from the left and outputting legible shapes on the right. Deciphering the Berrunic, they read "DATA IN" and "RIP OUT", likely meaning this refers to Kirb's creation of high quality rips. The audio used is ["Sky (PAL Version) - Super Mario Maker 2: The Funland Mod"], ["Sky (PAL Version) (Edit) - Super Mario Maker 2: The Funland Mod"] & ["Sky (PAL Version) (Night) - Super Mario Maker 2: The Funland Mod"].

>> Ф.-H
> Kirb's Mimic kneels with his back turned to the camera. He looks strongly beaten with many visible scars, scrapes & wounds. He sits there for 25 seconds before the camera cuts, showing a parallel close-up to Episode -T, using the left side of the Mimic's face instead. Kirb is walking towards him from behind, saying "I need to talk to you.". The audio used is ["The One Named Kirb ~ ReGenesis (Beta Mix) - Kirb: Nightmare in Funland"].

>> Ф.-G
> The scene shows Kurson and Chisk's Mimics bound to a wall in chains. Chisk's is being dangled by their wrists while Kurson's is chained around his neck. The audio used is ["Rise, Once Again - SonicKade: Genocide Run"].

>> Ф.-F
> The video shows the husks of Cloud and Thunder's Mimics. A large switch is in the middle, reading "POWER OFF" in Berrunic on the bottom. This could either be metaphorical or literal, as they lack their limbs and faces. The audio used is ["dark thoughts - SonicKade: Genocide Run"].

>> Ф.-E
> Asriel and Pumpers's Mimics are hiding behind walls around an alleyway, shaking out of fear. The audio used is ["Top Menu - SonicKade: Genocide Run"].

> Shade, Tyria & Starstrike's Mimics are trapped in small cages. Shade's is upset and pouting, Tyria's is angry and defiant, and Starstrike's is either sleeping / unconscious or awake while turned away from the camera. The audio used is ["falling forever forsaken - SonicKade: Genocide Run"].

>> Ф.-C
> The SonicKade sona's Mimic is unconscious on the ground. He seems to have been shot with several tranquilizer darts that are still lodged into his upper body. The audio used is ["Arcade-ia Mania - SonicKade: Genocide Run"].

>> Ф.-B
> Kade's Mimic is shown in distress, kneeling on the ground and holding his head while his head spikes flare out of control.

The audio used is ["my final answer - SonicKade: Genocide Run"] & ["COEXISTENCE - SonicKade: Genocide Run"].

>> Ф.-A
> Another ending exchange between Kirb and his Mimic, instead having Kirb be the lead speaker. Kirb is interrogating his Mimic for answers about what could be going on, to which the Mimic supplies all he can. The audio used is ["Theme Song - Kirb: Nightmare in Funland"].

> Lastly, the endcard has been modified; it uses the light version of the logo, swaps the fill and outline colors of the initial text, and changes to say "to be concluded" after a few seconds. As of writing, there has been no further update from this point.

NOTES, TRIVIA & MISC.:
> The Universe ID is "phiDOT" in hexadecimal. While it may seem like a small easter egg, this has the potential to hint of other universes being named similarly, letting users theorize which hex strings they could be using.
> The music in episode Q is playing in reverse; it is the old version of Rapacious Reptilian Rage, which would have its remaster made a few months later. Perhaps this use case motivated Kirb to do so?
> This gimmick was also used in Episode -7; the music is TOO SLOW (SK Version), though nothing new came from it this time.
> Kade's second running animation in Episode -5 is edited off of one of SonicKade2048's from the introduction of CONFINED ATONEMENT.
> As with Episode -K, some Mimics (not all) have the symbol affiliated with their name implemented in their design. Asriel's Mimic, for example, uses it in his eyes.
