About
Kirby (Japanese: 星のカービィ, Hoshi no Kābī; lit. "Kirby of the Stars") is a fantasy video game franchise starring a pink-skinned spherical creature as the eponymous protagonist created by Masahiro Sakurai, developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. Since the release of the original title in 1992, Kirby has grown into one of Nintendo's most widely recognized video game characters with nearly 20 sequel titles and cross-media adaptations into comics, manga and anime series.
Gameplay
The gameplay of a majority of the games in the series consists mainly of action, platform and puzzle-solving elements. The series is known for its bright and artistic settings; simplistic gameplay; cute characters; upbeat, cheerful music; and the protagonist's in-game ability to inhale enemies, thereby gaining a characteristic ability from them.
History
The Character
Kirby is a small, pink, spherical creature (occasionally described as a living pink marshmallow) with large red feet, stubby arms, and trademark pink cheek-blushes. His body is soft and flexible, allowing him to be flattened. His first appearance took place in the 1992 video game Kirby's Dream Land, where he was portrayed by a 2D sprite; since Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards for the Nintendo 64, he has made several appearances in 3D. He has been featured in other video games from Nintendo, on Nintendo's merchandising, on comic books, and even on a television show. Kirby also appears in the Super Smash Bros series.
He is supposedly eight inches tall, according to the Super Smash Bros. games. His weight is unknown, although several parts of the anime, the game Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and the Super Smash Bros. series suggest that he is light enough to be carried and for the wind to cause him to move in an unwanted direction. Kirby hails from the planet Pop Star, where he lives in a dome-shaped house in the kingdom of Dream Land. His appearance has changed subtly over the years, becoming more rounded and defined, mainly in his face and larger eyes. The new design has been used in all subsequent games.
Kirby's Dream Land (1992)
Kirby made his first appearance in Kirby's Dream Land (星のカービィ, literally "Kirby of the Stars"), a platforming action video game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy handheld console in 1992. As with other Game Boy titles that were released during the early 1990s, the game was set in a greyscale, 2D landscape environment with pixelated sprite characters. Upon its initial release in North America, the greyscale visual caused a minor confusion when Nintendo of America presented the character as a white-skinned creature. This ambiguity was later mended with the releases of GameBoy Color and GameBoy Advance, which offered an option for a color palette that depicts Kirby in its true pink skin tone.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shard
The Kirby franchise first 2.5/3D Debut was Kirby 64 ,where it follows the Dreamland Trilogy,right after Dream Land 3. Ripple Star, a planet populated by fairies, is invaded and taken control by Dark Matter. Ribbon, one of the fairies, flees from the planet with their sacred treasure, the great Crystal. In its pursuit of Ribbon, Dark Matter shatters the Crystal into pieces, which scatter throughout the solar system. Ribbon, stunned by the attack, falls onto Pop Star.
Ribbon, heartbroken to find she is left with only one of the shards, is consoled by Kirby, to whom she reveals her predicament. Kirby agrees to help her retrieve all the Crystal Shards and save Ripple Star from Dark Matter's control. Kirby and Ribbon enlist the help of Waddle Dee, Adeleine, and King Dedede, and they continue to search for the pieces across the solar system.
Reception
Kirby's Dream Land
Kirby's Dream Land has initially received mixed to mildly positive reception, with an aggregate score of 64.83% from six reviews on Game Rankings, making it the 13th most highly-rated Game Boy title and the 7,279th highly-reviewed video game on the list. By May 28th, 1995, Kirby's Dream Land had sold 1.3 million copies worldwide, becoming the fourth biggest Game Boy release ever and the breakout title for the third-party developer HAL Laboratory. To date, it has sold in excess of five million copies worldwide. As a result of its commercial success, the game went onto spawn a total of twenty sequel titles that have sold over 30 million units worldwide, including Kirby's Adventure , Dream Land 2 , Super Star ,and Dream Land 3, before his first 3D Debut in Kirby 64.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shard
Many accused the game of being short and easy while others enjoyed the varied level design and colorful graphics. The game sold 1.07 million copies in Japan and 541,600 copies in the United States. Gamespot gave the game 69% saying "While some might be initially put off by the youthful nature of Kirby 64, the depth of the power combo system really brings a lot to what would otherwise be an average platform game."
Subsequent Releases
The subsequent Kirby releases in 2D and 3D platforms, such as Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, Kirby:Canvas Curse, Kirby Squeak Squad, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby: Return To Dreamland, and Kirby Star Allies have been met with positive receptions.
Online Presence
Nintendo maintains two official websites for its Kirby franchise for the English-speaking and Japanese-speaking fans, as well as a semi-official Facebook community page dedicate to the franchise, which has garnered more than 300,000 likes as of August 2014.
Fandom
Outside of its officially branded presence in the social media, there are numerous Kirby video game communities, including several unofficial fan pages on Facebook, FanPop and Weebly, as well as independently-run fan news sites like The Kirby Club, Kirby's Rainbow Resort and MetaNaito, in addition to a few resource hubsites on Wikia and GameFAQs.
Fan Art
There are thousands of fan art illustrations, Let's Play-style videos, live-action sketches and musical remixes available for viewing on online communities dedicated to fan art, most notably on DeviantART and Tumblr. The phenomenon is also referred to as Kirbyfication in similar vein to other custom character fan art trends like Pokefication and Ponification among the fans of Pokemon and My Little Pony, respectively.

This song written by a Japanese composer Jun Ishikawa is the most famous song representing the music of Kirby series, and its remixes are included in many other games in this series and Super Smash Bros. series. Around the end of 2007, This song caused explosive boom in the Japanese video sharing service Nico Nico Douga (NND), and This shock like a megaton punch was also received in all over the world through YouTube.
Kirby's Sky High Remixes

Zero
Zero is the final boss character in Kirby's Dream Land 3 originally introduced as the question mark symbol (?) who resembles Dark Mind's second and third form. Although never directly stated to be related to Dark Matter, Zero is first seen in the Dark Matter oblivion Hyper Zone, and is theorized to be the creator and manipulator of Dark Matter.
Zero, as well as 0²'s, propensity to use red globs as projectiles leads to speculation,as well as the wide belief that it is blood being used. While the idea has logical merit and certainly likely, since Zero has no backstory the nature of the said liquid is not actually known. Regardless of what it is, the fact that Zero spews red liquid makes it, along with its counterpart,the most gruesomely-depicted character and enemy in the series. Zero, as well as 0², are often depicted as creepypasta characters due to the use of "blood" as their attacks and resemblance to the another well-known creepypasta Zalgo.
Kirby Explains
Kirby Explains (X) is a YTMND fad featuring a clip with Kirby from the anime Kirby: Right Back at Ya!! explaining various things, only to get humorous lines that were used from other media.

Let's make an entry for every game character ever. THIS INCLUDES ALL POKEMON AND OTHERS.
EDIT: Just searched Gourmet Race, I think it's covered in "THIS CONTAINS X."
+1 more work and then confirm
I'm listening to Kirby music, and this appears on the trending bar.
I'VE BEEN SECRETLY INVADED! AAAAAAA
@FancyReuniclus
Isn't there a meme for pretty much every pokemon anyway?
Some people mistake this site for an encyclopedia.
Gourmet Race remixes, perhaps?
Well I was here for the real 20th anniversary apparently. God I feel old.

The remixes were pretty hilarious. Not sure about the rest though.

I NEED A 1+ CONFIRM TO CLOBBER THAT THERE SUBMISSION AND KIRBY!
+1 new link picture
+1 work
And when these tasks have been completed… then you have my permission to confirm.
What I like about Kirby games is that they come with their own built-in difficulty levels. You can use Sword Kirby, and the game will be pretty easy to beat most of the time, or you can use Ball Kirby and it will be hard as hell to master.
Also, Meta Knight is a badass who I totally called would be OP in Brawl back in Melee because he possesses flight, small size, speed and a weapon.
I saw the Nintendo Direct today, and Kirby can impale things on his horn with that Beetle Power-Up.
Triple Deluxe is out, yet this page barely got any extra views and/or images having to do with it. I say we give this page some more recognition. +1 touch up the article a bit, then +1 confirm.
Yeah, I can agree. As a big Kirby fan, I feel this article could give Kirby a bit more justice.
I really wish I owned Triple Deluxe. Beetle Kirby looks awesome.

I'm Star Warrior Kirby, and I approve this entry!
P.S: To whoever made this entry:
Kirby vs. Galactus: The Brawl to Eat Them All.
I really wish I owned Triple Deluxe. Beetle Kirby looks awesome.
I saw this trending, checked out the gallery, and I think my heart stopped from cuteness overload.
This Videogame SUCKS!
(If you know what I mean)
Shit, i downvoted accidentally D: (seriously)
So much Kirby today. Prepare your insulin.
Wait a second… 20 years old?
More like 22.
I guess I have to build a giant cake then. And even then I don't think it be enough for him.
20th? I call freaking bullshit because I got this game on the 20th anniversary, and that was one or two years ago.
Someone needs to fix this fast.
Oh yeah, damn that's a long time. After I got that, I still haven't finished Kirby's Dreamland 3, I barely touched Super Star because I own it's remake, and I have never laid a finger on Dreamland 2 yet, it's been almost 2 flipping years! I need to get my gamer cred back up…
But if it was released in 92, then that would make this year 2012 for it to be the 20th anniversary.
KYM != "Know Your Math"
I can't even give a faceplam for messing up the anniversary date this bad.
Kirby's 20th Anniversary was 2 years ago!
But Kirby's 22, now.
Well I was here for the real 20th anniversary apparently. God I feel old.
Smart KYM. Seriously,how did you approve math.
I made a montage for posterity.

How do you even mess something like an anniversary up?
Someone's gonna be angry…
>tfw kym forgot you're 22
1992 + 20 years = 2012.
Hey guys did you hear? It's the 20th anniversary of my pink Nintendo brother, Kirby!
Well hey, were it not for the frontpager's huge fuck-up Kirby wouldn't be trending. So in a way, it's good that they fucked up. Because we get to see more Kirby stuff!
Wow, just wow… I can't believe KYM goofed up THIS BAD!
>KYM posts that kirby's 20 years old even though it happened 2 years ago
You know you dun goofed on Kirby when the box art for this Kirby game roughly sums up the mistake's source-related comments section currently:
HOW. DO. YOU. FUCK. UP. KIRBY'S. FUCKING. ANNIVERSARY.
These fuckers still haven't fixed the front page issue. If they don't soon we'll have to take problems into our own hands.
TO THE FORUMS!
>22 years old
>20th anniversary
[comment about how kirby is 22]
Looks like kirby can reduce his age now
It all makes sense now! Kirby was 20 when Don or whoever frontpaged this, but then Kirby ate Taylor Swift, took her power, and became 22. This explains everything!

It's.. just a typo..

This… isn't a game…

I like how KYM literally NEVER corrects mistakes when they frontpage them, despite multitudes of people pointing out the mistake.
Also, Kirby technically turned 22 in April, if you go by the Japanese release date of Kirby's Dream Land.
(Insert Slowpoke joke here)
Kazuma.. It's just a game.. right?
This… isn't a game…
IT'S LIFE!!!
Don't even tell me KYM went full-retard…
I feel like they know.
Ya done goofed.
How can you fuck up my birthday THIS badly?
I know everyone has pointed out the mistake, but instead I'll just list some games and series that are actually celebrating their 20th anniversary this year.
1. Earthworm Jim
2. Donkey Kong Country
3. EarthBound/Mother 2 (If you go by Japanese release)

Am I the only Kirby fan that misses Kirby's Animal Friends from Dreamland 2 and 3?
I miss them too. :( I hope in the next Kirby game after Rainbow Curse ( which probably won't have them since it's a Canvas Curse sequel) brings them back. The only reason I can see why they aren't being brought back is that Kirby's Modern abilities are much more complex than in they were in the classics, so giving a completely new mover set to the animal friends as well may prove difficult.
I'd just give them unique sequences like in 64 were I with HAL. :3
Yes, but I miss helpers more.
Oh KYM.

We gave you 3 FUCKING DAYS to fix this mistake, and what do you do? YOU GOD DAMN FRONT PAGE IT INSTEAD!
It took us 3 days to persuade you to fix it. 3 DAYS!
It's been 3 days.
It's been front paged and everything, and still not fixed.
This is no typo.
This is a jimmy rustling.

Huh, surprised that Kirby is trending in images.
But it's a good surprise, like cake.
Not a bad surprise, like satan hiding where you think the cake is.
So…I heard that Kirby is fighting Majin Buu in Screwattack's Death Battle.
Should be available this Friday, gonna be a good fight.
Hopefully Kirby will win. But knowing the overpowered abilities of Dragon Ball villains, he'll probably lose.
Kirby won. Barely, but he won.

WOW! You mean the game is gonna have remixes of those? And I got psyched just from hearing a remix of the mini-boss theme. Now I want it even more!
Whether remixed or original, the tracks in Kirby are a banger.

It's Kirby's 23rd anniversary in 5 five days.
If the front page doesn't claim it's the 21st anniversary just to keep up what the mods did last year I'm going to be severely disappointed.
How can something be so cute and deadly at the same time?
Guys, you're all forgetting the best Kirby
Kirby won. Barely, but he won.
Kirby: Planet Robobot is now a thing! I want the thing! I need the thing! Give me the thing!
A bomb has been dropped:
At first, I wasn't sure if I would get the new Kirby game due to how similar it looks to Triple Deluxe (that, and I really don't care about the new Doctor ability), but, then…
Now, I'm tempted. I just hope there's more parts where the mech is playable than the Doctor.

Well, this year marks Kirby's 25th anniversary.
Now we wait until April for KYM to announce his 23rd.
I feel like I've seen enough posts to suggest a new sub-meme that's basically about how Kirby is a pure cinnamon roll that can do no wrong and how everyone loves the franchise, as well as the juxtaposition of how lovable and cute the games always appear until demonic evil threatens the world and Kirby goes SS3 to blow shit up.
Gotta say as a hardcroe Kirby fan I really love how Nintendo's been treating Kirby on his 25th Anniversary!
Aside from all of the Japanese stuff that's been happening, we're getting Deluxe versions of Planet Robobot's mini games and even a new game towards the end of the year! With multiplayer even!
Let's hope Know Your Meme doesn't fuck up Kirby's 25th anniversary. Especially since there's 3 Kirby games releasing to celebrate it.
Hey, you guys got it right this time..! Well done.
Happy 25th birthday, Kirby!
…Hope you're enjoying it more than Metroid…
Happy 25th Birthday/Anniversary, Kirby!
Here's to more fun filled adventures along the way.
From the official twitter:
Happy 25th anniversary to my favorite Nintendo franchise!
Let's jam some tunes in celebration of Kirby's 25th birthday!
I can't wait to see what further plans they got for Kirby this year.
Happy birthday to my Smash Main and second favorite Nintendo IP!
I'm gonna gonna celebrate that damn kirbeh's 25th anniversary!
Happy B day pink puff ball! Hope to get the new games!
That's funny! today I had a dream about a new Kirby game (where there was a lot of Zero Two with different eye colors, one had a green color, other a blue color, etc…. weird game…)
Happy Birthday, Kirby! Here's to another long life of amazing games!
Three cheers for 25 years of amazing, quality games, and to the most adorable, eldritch abomination to have ever existed!
Also, obligatory.
Out of all Nintendo character, Kirby always my favorite character, no competition.
Happy birthday, you psychotic pink puffball! May we have hundreds of more games where you mercilessly devour innocent creatures to absorb their powers!
I wonder who would have the balls to offer him a cake.
<(^<) POYO (>^)>
Happy birthday, you NOVA wrecking plan ruiner. I'm totally not mad at all.
Happy birthday Kirby!
I don't suppose anyone else will be able to have any of your birthday cake, though. :P
Happy Birthday you adorably cute destroyer of worlds!
happy 25 anniversary kirby, and hope for another 25 years of greatness!
Happy Birthday to the innocent-looking pink round creature that defeated a fucking one-eyed flying monster, a giant space clock-planet, a space knight from another dimension (?), several big-ass robots, more monsters and went to a highly specialized death arena several times, taking out really strong bosses. All by himself.
"I'm not crying, you are!"
Let me guess the bosses on the next main Kirby game:
Whispy woods, Kracko, Meta Knight, Dedede, some other boss that has appeared in the previous game…
A more accurate prediction:
Variant of Whispy Woods, 2 variants of other old bosses, 2 new standard bosses, a brainwashed Bandanna Dee (since he hasn't had his focus game yet), and then the final boss.
(Flowery Woods/Clanky Woods, Paintra (Drawcia) and Kracko / Holo Defense API (Ado) and Dedede Clone, Coily Rattler and Pyribbit / Susie and Haltmann, Masked Dedede / Mecha Knight)
(Flowery Woods/Clanky Woods, Paintra (Drawcia) and Kracko / Holo Defense API (Ado) and Dedede Clone, Coily Rattler and Pyribbit / Susie and Haltmann, Masked Dedede / Mecha Knight)
You know, I recognize that almost all long-running game series will pull from their past games for nostalgia points…
But I think Kirby does it to the degree that it's not even nostalgia anymore. It's just something you'd expect. And while Planet Robobot is a fine game, it is undoubtedly the most blatant example of this. All the bosses that Evilthing listed above appeared, a game-mode from a beloved game in the franchise came back, and even the final boss was a callback to a previous game. And I feel it gets to a point where it's just excessive, and it makes it feel like nothing new is being brought to the table. And I know that's not the case, and I recognize that nostalgia can be good for a game, but you know what they say about too much of a good thing…

Alright, before the game comes out, I'm gonna come with a crazy theory for Kirby Star allies.
The game have the mix 2 powers from kirby 64, and the bosses Pon & Con from kirby dream land 3, what those 2 games have in common? Dark Matter and Zero, the leader of the dark matter.
Now, Star allies is about dark hearts that corrupt people, and we have these 3 bosses:
Notice the logo in their hats, is an heart, with an eye, horns, and bat wings.
I'm gonna say that's Zero Three, it returns and is the real villain from this game, just a random theory, probably wrong but whatever.
Oh, it seems that Pon & Con also have the same symbol, in their armor:
Maybe Shinichi Shimomura is back directing a kirb game. Since all these things are tropes they created when directing Dreamland 2&3 and 64.
That depends on whether or not Shinichi Shimomura's even still alive; there's so much we don't know about the guy.
That still baffles me to this very day. Some say it's a pseudonym.
I've heard that rumor too, or at least a variation of it-- specifically, that it was the pseudonym of Satoru Iwata himself. Of course, like I said, there's too little information to support or debunk this, and no one at HAL's ever come forward to confirm or deny anything as far as I can tell.

Oh, it seems that Pon & Con also have the same symbol, in their armor:
Maybe Shinichi Shimomura is back directing a kirb game. Since all these things are tropes they created when directing Dreamland 2&3 and 64.

ONE TWO
Seems that those review sites that still give scores don't think the Kirby Star Allies is really that good (although not that bad) on average.
I wonder if it failed to shake up the formulas or level designs/aesthetics…
What are you talking about, it have an 8,3 in IGN, that's pretty good for Mr. too much water.
7s and 8s seem to be the most common scores.
They gave 7.5 to Return's to Dream Land, so I guess Star Allies must be pretty freakin' good.

Kirby needs a crowbcat treatment
Marx Death is becoming a meme
idk if people respond to comments on this site but if they do what's your favorite character and why?
happy 26th birthday, kirby
best puff
Here is a photo of Kirby enjoying his birthday cake (before it got stolen and he was forced to destroy the ruler of the underworld)

while this is trending i just want to say something
whenever I go to the comments I always see Zero Two’s entry. it’s like the site doesn’t want us to forget him..
And why should you forget me?
the entry’s so badly written

Now that this is trending, I may as well say it: Because of internet influence, I've decided to finally get into the Kirby series this month and I don't regret it at all.
Beat the main content of Super Star Ultra already, and now I'm juggling between beating the story modes of Star Allies and Sonic Mania.
And why should you forget me?

A new addition to Star Allies has been revealed:
On that note, does anyone remember Squeak Squad?
Hell yeah, I think the first game to bring power mixing back since 64, if quite a bit more limited. Also ghost comeback when?

The mouse is back in the house, my friends!

So the datamine was right.
And it's now official!
The mouse is back in the house, my friends!
Our painter gal's in Star Allies!
And even though I was expecting her from the datamine, I was NOT expecting the pink haired fairy to appear also!
I don't know about you guys, but I have the intense urge to hug them and never let go while saying "I'VE MISSED YOU TWO SO MUCH!"
Anyone else feeling the same way?
Same. Especially after getting to play them.
I knew RIbbon carrying Adeleine was an opportunity HAL wouldn't pass up.

Kirby Star Allies Wave 2 DLC IS OUT! GO WILD MY BORB FANS!
New Star Allies DLC is out! It's been awesome so far, especially with seeing Adeleine's >:( face.
Another thing I forgot to mention: Daroach constantly having to tip his hat.

Phew, I thought something bad happened to ol' Kirbo. Its just the update
What makes you think something bad would happen to Kirb?
After seeing Kirby's human feet, I do.
The way the internet is going, something related to someone making him a symbol of some political ideology or Sakurai receiving a rape charge

Play Modoki if you want more features.
Still need to figure out how to get Modoki to work.
Thanks for telling me about that, havn’t heard of it yet
It's like a new F-Zero: Not likely to happen, but would be very nice to have.
sad because it’s true, I’d love a new F zero also

Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn….
I couldn't resist.
Another lovely Halloween photo from HAL:
Star Allies Wave 3 is coming a week before Smash, my dudes!
In other words, the plot has thickened as Kirby must now choose between helping his friends in his universe or saving his friends in the Smash universe.
……………..That's fair.
……………..That's fair.
Plot twist: After beating Hyness in Star Allies mode with a wave 3 dream friend, It's not Galacta Knight that jumps out of that portal.
It's Galeem.
……………..That's fair.
……………..That's fair.
>Susie from Planet Robobot is playable

Whether remixed or original, the tracks in Kirby are a banger.

So, this finally got finished.
I just found out that Kirby's namesake has just recently died.
OH! MY! GOD!!!
Here’s hoping Know Your Meme doesn’t fuck up celebrating Kirby’s 30th anniversary.
Furries be like: "Looks like meat of back on the menu BOOOYS!"
When wasn't it back on the menu?
Sex-E-Cat.
Puff E. Pussy
Cheetah girl
Killing a god, astounding achievement for anyone else, an average Tuesday night for Kirby.
Can't wait to see the god that Kirby has to kill this time!

In case you guys are wondering, the leopard boss's name in "Kirby and the Forgotten Land" is Clawroline.
I'll use this knowlege for good…NOT
She's giving me Rough the Bat vibes (minus the cleavage).

Never thought Kirby of all franchises would make furry bait.

Between this new catgirl and that other chick from Legends: Arceus, it's looking to be a "thighs" sort of year.
Kirby’s got the touch
Still no art and memes submitted huh…
Forgotten Land is great. Wish there was more activity here.
Too bad every image uploaders here are softcore spammers.
