The DOJO week started off Co-op Events. Basically, there are new Event modes that two people can play together. Event modes are themed stages where you have to do various tasks within certain rules such as defeating the most enemies in ten seconds. Tuesday brought a double update starting off with Porky's theme from Mother 3. The second update was the stage called Frigate Orpheon from Metroid Prime. The stage will flip 180 degrees at random similar to Kraid's stage from Melee.
Wednesday's update revealed the item called Team Healer. Team Healer is an item one person can pick up and throw at your teammate to heal them. The higher the damage, the more your teammate will recover. There is a chance you might hit your opponent though and heal them on accident. Thursday's update showed off Kirby's special moves. He can swallow opponents and steal their powers. There's a bunch of screens of Kirby with different powers ups and looks. Today's update brings a new movie called Subspace Emissary. It's more of a teaser to show off the Subspace Emissary Adventure mode recycling some old footage and mixing in some new footage too. Check it out above.
So what did you all think of the Dojo week? I particularly love Kirby's Snake form. It's exactly how I imagined it.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

HAHA, Kirby looks great with facial hair. But where's the mullet? I want a white trash Kirby, damnit! Instead you have to swallow Zero Suit Samus for that...
In my first post as an editor here at Destructoid, I stated that Super Mario Galaxy DS was more exciting to me than anything Nintendo has currently announced for '08. I think this week is a perfect example as to why I feel this way.

The Dojo updates are like foreplay with a beautiful girl. It's an awesome build up, one that has been going on for months now. But for the past month and a half or so, the girl has stopped with the "hot" brand of foreplay (details with held for purposes of good taste) and instead has gone with the "dry humping my leg while mumbling 'Oh baby, your so hot. You remind me of my Grand Father'" brand of foreplay.
The girl is still beautiful, and when the build up is finally over and we "take it to the next level", I'm sure it will be magic. But for now, will you please get the hell of my leg and make me some pancakes?
WAIT WAIT
HOLD THE FUCK ON.
THIS UPDATE IS SO GROUND BREAKING, WHO WOULD HAVE EVER THOUGHT THAT KIRBIES SPECIAL ABILITY WAS STEALING OTHER PEOPLES ATTACKS.
OMFG, NEXT THING YOU KNOW HE'LL BE ABLE TO JUMP FIVE TIMES!!! BULLSHIT.
lol, i'm fucking tired of the dojo... it has killed my want for this game, instead of tickle it.
Damn. I wish my week long ski trip to Canada wasn't on the same day as Brawl's release. Yep, I just found this out. Yep, I'm stabbing myself with a fork.
The Subspace movie was mostly old stuff, but damn if that mode doesn't look cool. Looks so much better than Melee's Adventure mode, and I thoroughly enjoyed that at the time. I think Solid Kirby is definitely the highlight of another mediocre week.
Jesus, some people are just never satisfied. How the hell do you hate the Dojo? Do you remember when we had to go through over a YEAR with nothing but two trailers from E3 and TGS? Aside from that, we were COMPLETELY left in the dark. Now that they're giving us the goods, you're bitching that it's too much.
I could stand on the street downtown holding a box of free money, and people would still complain about the way the dollar bills were folded....
Damn right dude, people will never be satisfied no matter what. This game has me salivating everyday, even if recent updates haven't been epic, but thats because some of the most jaw-dropping announces have already been made.

They announced/showed that long ago.
@Eschatos:
Metaknight looks like Kirby under his mask, except blue.

And Solid Kirby is full of WIN!
