Marx made his debut as a major character in the ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' game {{s|wikirby|Milky Way Wishes}}. In the game, Marx asks [[Kirby]] to gather the power of surrounding stars to awaken the giant comet, {{s|wikirby|Galactic Nova}} in order to make the sun and moon stop fighting. Once Kirby finds and awakens Nova, Marx appears, knocks Kirby out of the way, and asks Nova for the ability to rule [[wikirby:Popstar|Pop Star]]. Nova grants Marx's wish, causing him to become larger and grow crystal wings. After Kirby defeats him, Marx is sent flying into Nova, with the impact causing them to explode.

Marx appears as the final boss of Milky Way Wishes, and, effectively, of ''Kirby Super Star'' as a whole. He also appears as the final boss of [[wikirby:The Arena#Kirby Super Star/Kirby Super Star Ultra|The Arena]] sub-game. In [[wikirby:The True Arena#Kirby Super Star Ultra|The True Arena]] sub-game from ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Super Star Ultra}}'',  Marx's unconscious body absorbs the remaining energy from Nova, transforming him into {{s|wikirby|Marx Soul}}.

In addition to these appearances, Marx appears as the final boss in the ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Mass Attack}}'' sub-game {{s|wikirby|Kirby Brawlball}}, and as both a playable character and a secret boss in ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby Star Allies}}'', being fought during the credits sequence of the ''{{s|wikirby|Heroes in Another Dimension}}'' sub-game.

In ''Ultimate'', Marx appears as a [[boss]] at the end of {{SSBU|Kirby}}'s, {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}'s, and {{SSBU|Inkling}}'s {{SSBU|Classic Mode}} run,  as well as in [[Adventure Mode: World of Light]]. {{SSBU|Sephiroth}} also faces Marx during his Classic Mode, as with other regular bosses in the game, though in the third round. Normally, {{SSBUMusicLink|Kirby|Vs. Marx}} plays during the battle, but {{SSBUMusicLink|Splatoon|Calamari Inkantation}} plays in Inkling's route, and {{SSBUMusicLink|Super Smash Bros.|Galeem / Dharkon}} plays during the boss rush in the [[Final stage (World of Light)|final stage]]. His voice appears similar to the one heard in ''Kirby Star Allies''. His battle takes place in the [[Mysterious Dimension]], which is in [[The Dark Realm]].

Marx's boss fight starts off with him using the moves that he similarly used against Kirby in ''Kirby Super Star''. When the fighter gets close, he will teleport some distance away from them. Marx has three moves that he didn't have in ''Kirby Super Star'' or ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'': an attack where his eyes turn black and black balls spawn from them, an attack where he creates vein-like growths, and an attack where his eyes enlarge and fire lasers.

Upon defeat, Marx screams and starts flying around the stage sporadically. His wings break off as he reverts to his smaller form and lands face first on the ground. His body also temporarily alights in a purple flame that rises out of him just before the screen fades out.

*Marx is the only boss to be fought in [[World of Light|Adventure Mode]] that does not have an area themed after his game of origin. His [[Mysterious Dimension|area]] appears to be a destroyed variant of various locales in the World of Light, as opposed to Planet Popstar's moon, on which he is fought in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. His boss arena appears visually similar to its original appearance, however.
