![Kirbylal is a series of video games developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo. The series centers around the adventures of the titular young, pink, spherical hero as he fights to save his home on the far away planet of Pop Star from a variety of threats. The majority of the games in the series are side-scrolling action-platformers often containing puzzle solving and Beat'em up elements. Kirby has the ability to inhale enemies and objects into his mouth, spitting them out as a projectile or eating them. If he eats certain things he can gain the powers or properties of that object manifesting as a new weapon or power-up called a Copy Ability. The series is intended to be easy to pick and play even by people unfamiliar with action games, while at the same time offering additional challenges for more experienced players to come back to Currently, the Kirby series includes a total of over twenty games, and has sold over 34 million units worldwide, putting it in the top 50 best selling video game franchises of all time Kirby Contents [hide] 1 Overview 2 History 2.1 1990s 2.2 2000s 2.3 2010s variation of the logo for the Kirby series from 15 years ago, as seen in Kirby Right Back at Ya! 3 Fictional universe 4 Nature of the protagonist 5 Other media 5.1 Anime 5.2 Comics and manga 5.3 Cancelled games 5.4 Kirby in other video games 6 Notes 7 References 8 External links The Creator of the Kirby and Super Smash Bros series OvervieW [edit source ] Genres Platform HAL Laboratory, Nintendo Good-Feel, Flagship, Natsume Capcom, Dimps, Arika Nintendo Developer(s) The main protagonist of the Kirby series is a young, pink, spherical creature named Kirby who lives on a far away star shaped planet called Pop Star in the country of Dream Land. Peace in Dream Land is often shattered by a variety of threats, both terrestrial and extraterrestrial in origin, and Kirby must become a brave warrior to mouth and then spitting them out with incredible force. He can also take on the abilities of enemies and objects that he eats to gain Copy Abilities, transforming into new forms and gaining new powers, such as breathing Publisher(s) fire, wielding a sword, launching sparks in every direction, or attacking enemies with direct hand-to-hand combat. Many recurring characters appear throughout the series both allies and enemies. The most frequent one being King Dedede, a gluttonous blue bird and self-proclaimed ruler of Dream Land (a region of Pop Star). King Platforms Dedede has appeared in every Kirby game except for Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, and while he and Kirby frequently clash, he is not always a villain, appearing as an ally or playable character in some of the games Another major character of the series is the enigmatic Meta Knight, a chivalrous masked warrior who often assists Kirby, but, depending on his intentions, will fight against Kirby to get things as he desires The main Kirby games are side-scrolling action-platformers. Kirby must run, jump, and attack enemies while traversing through a number of areas, solving puzzles and fighting bosses along the way. However, Kirby games cannot really be called traditional platformers. One of the things that sets Kirby apart is Kirby's ability to inflate himself with a gulp of air and fly. In most games he can do this for as long a attack options are limited while doing so Kirby games often contain a number of hidden items that either unlock more parts to the game or are simple incentives to collect, and are usually required to achieve 100% completion in the game. These special items usually relate to the plot of the game, most often used to create a special weapon required to defeat the final boss. In some games, the special weapon is optional and can be used in the game regularly after defeating the final boss with it. These elements have remained constant throughout most the series, with each game having its own unique twist to affect gameplay The games' fantasy world of Pop Star include e his home.
