Which company invades Planet Popstar in Kirby: Planet Robobot?

The story behind the answer

The Haltmann Works Company invades Planet Popstar in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

The invasion begins when the company’s massive spacecraft, the Access Ark, conquers and mechanizes Kirby’s home planet. Its goal is to strip Popstar of energy and natural resources, transforming its landscapes into industrial zones. King Dedede and Meta Knight attempt to resist, but the Access Ark quickly overwhelms them.

Kirby eventually fights back with the Robobot Armor, a power suit that can copy and enhance his abilities. He destroys the company’s five landing bases before infiltrating the Access Ark and confronting President Max Profitt Haltmann, the corporation’s leader. Susie, Haltmann’s secretary, also plays a major role in the story.

A common mix-up is confusing the Haltmann Works Company with Susie herself. Susie is an employee and later turns against Haltmann; she is not the invading organization. The company’s larger plan is also tied to Star Dream, the supercomputer that ultimately becomes the game’s greatest threat.
