the kirby wiki wrote:The Master Crown is likely a sentient entity. Magolor Soul's VS quote says it is "no more than a manifestation of the crown itself". This idea is supported by the fact that Magolor didn't actually put on the crown, but, rather, it floated to his head after Magolor held it in his hands. While sitting on Magolor's head before the battle against Magolor Soul (and by extension its normal mode counterpart), it can be seen occasionally wiggling and moving about on its own, perhaps trying to possess (or communicate with) Magolor.
Interestingly, in all of its forms except for its first, an eye-like pattern is clearly discernable around and including the crown's jewel, perhaps as a subtle indicator of the crown's sentience, an implication of it being omniscent (or all-knowing), or even implying that it is guiding Magolor's course of action. If the latter is correct, this also implies that Landia was not possessed by the crown at any point, suggesting that part of the reason Landia was guarding it was to prevent the crown from attempting universal domination (as it seems to have been trying to do when it possessed Magolor Soul).
Assuming it is indeed sentient, the Master Crown is one of the few items with sentience in the series to not help Kirby, arguably posing as a main antagonist instead by possessing Magolor and forcing him to do its bidding.

Also it's not really a theory that the Master Crown is sentient, what with it explicitly stating that Magolor SOUL I like the look of it in all caps, okay is an empty shell possessed by the Master Crown. I, for one, think that the Master Crown is sort of like Dragon Balls (I think?) or the Triforce or Pokémon or...man there's a lot of things like this in that whether it's good or evil depends on the user. Landia was fine and dandy and like "rawr I will beat you up in the name of justice" because it had good intentions, while when Magolor_{who I think is Dark Matter} got it his evilness rubbed off and thus, even when Magolor died, it was moved to possess his body and go all SOUL.
