About

Kirby Falls or Kirby Falls Into The Abyss refers to a series of video edits based on a scene where Kirby falls off a cliff into a dark pit from a 2001 episode of the Kirby: Right Back at Ya! anime. Typically used as an exploitable format, screams are often added to the scene with captions or other elements overlaid on top. The original edit was posted to YouTube in April 2019 and gained viral spread, inspiring variations over the following years.
