It was a pleasant day on Candy Mountain when Kirby finished beating the last few Waddle Dees and assorted ability providers, bringing along his friend Mr. Tick-Tock.

Kirby and Mr. Tick-Tock had finally made it all the way to the top and, the former eager to practice his favorite form of exercise besides running around and eating everything in sight; dancing.

Kirby started feet apart and paws outspread as if in an embrace while Mr. Tick-Tock sat down on a big red rock.

Kirby tucked his paws against his side and jumped to the right, then quickly shot an invisible air bullet to propel him back to the left, then did the same on the opposite side.

Kirby flattened himself down to half his size with his paws on his head and hopped left to right while tilting his body in different directions.

Kirby rolled back and forth, did flips twenty feet in the air, and flew in a figure eight.

Kirby finished by moon walking slowly to his starting point, slide kicking to the right, then the left, then flipping and landing on his feet in his signature pose; left arm extended to the Comet Nova and right heel in the ground toward Cocoa Caverns.

Mr. Tick-Tock stood up and clapped and showed Kirby how long his routine took. Mr. Tick-Tock's face showed four seconds, a personal record for Kirby.

Kirby's face lit up and he and Mr. Tick-Tock both flew to Food Mountain to celebrate, Kirby flying normally and Mr. Tick-Tock summoning hovering music notes that one could ride on.

Only good hearted Tick-Tocks have the ability to fly, as evil Tick-Tocks' notes are too sour and flimsy to lounge on.

At Food Mountain as Kirby and Mr. Tick-Tock landed, they both spied patches of their favorite foods laying around on the plate-like plateau, and immediately rushed to them, enjoying their friendship and talents, whether it be music or dancing.
