This review Helped me decide. Had useful details. Read my mind. Report this review. Kid, 10 years old March 2, Positive role models. The Kirby Super Star Ultra booklet refers to it as face-to-face food transfer.
In Kirby Star Allies , this technique is referred to as sharing. Summoning Gooey sacrifices one of Kirby's pegs of health and makes his maximum health four pegs instead of five. Kirby can inhale Gooey again whenever he likes to restore one peg of health. In the anime, Kirby is an astonishingly fast runner. In Dark and Stormy Knight , he could run fast enough to skim across water and get over to the horizon within seconds. It is also explained in the episode Beware: Whispy Woods!
In Kirby: Planet Robobot , it is stated that Kirby has infinite power, and such power allows the Invader Armor 's limitations to be removed due to the armor's ability to mimic its user's abilities. This turns it into Robobot Armor. Kirby's species has been a common topic of debate in his fandom.
There is evidence of the existence of other members of his species from the similar-looking characters seen in the ending of Kirby's Dream Land and the remake Spring Breeze in Kirby Super Star.
While not officially confirmed, Meta Knight is a likely member due to almost identical facial features to Kirby aside from color and minor differences. In the case of the latter, they are the result of Kirby being divided into four by Dark Meta Knight.
In general, members of the species all look similar, but sometimes have different colored skin, eyes, and feet. Kirbys in Kirby Mass Attack. When not referring to Kirby's species in the generic sense, the term "Kirbys" occasionally "Kirbies" usually refers to only one character, who is none other than Kirby himself.
Although he may be split into multiple separate entities, they are all part of him. In Kirby Air Ride , since the other colors of Kirby are separate individuals, and the term refers to all of them. The term "Dream Lander" refers to any inhabitant of Dream Land. The Super Smash Bros. Brawl biography states that Kirby is a citizen of Dream Land. Largely attributed to misinterpretation of the English dub of the anime, Kirby's race is sometimes taken as Star Warrior.
That is a common but incorrect understanding, and understandable since other characters say something along the lines of "Kirby is a Star Warrior" quite often. The terms "Warp Star Knight" and "Warp Star Warrior" have only ever been used in advertisements where it is translated even less accurately, and the terms are never used in any game, and only in the anime. In Kirby's Dream Land 3 , mysterious characters called Batamon appear. They resemble Kirby aside from a more flattened shape and different face and are unique in that the player can almost never directly come in contact with them.
They are always seen walking past walls or ceilings beyond Kirby's reach, with the exception of a single stage in Cloudy Park , where Kirby can continue past the exit and come into contact with one. Kirby 64 ending. Kirby is not as strongly affiliated with other Dream Landers as some of them might be with each other, for example King Dedede and his Waddle Dees , or Meta Knight with the Meta-Knights.
In the games, during Dream Land 's peace time, Kirby is either seen sleeping on a grassy turf or eating something rather than being with someone else most of the time.
In single player where additional Kirbys are controlled by the CPU, all the Kirbys existing simultaneously are part of Kirby himself with the exception of Kirby Air Ride , so each of them helps each other out, and share food with each other.
In multiplayer and in certain sub-games such as Bomb Rally , the Kirbys exhibit some sort of friendly rivalry since such is the nature of the sub-games, although certain activities they partake in like crashing Air Ride Machines into each other and tossing bombs to each other to see who it explodes on don't look particularly "friendly". In any case, Kirbys are never seen harboring ill intentions towards each other. King Dedede is Kirby's arch-rival and ally. There is a long-standing grudge and love-hate relationship between the two of them that is developed throughout the series.
In older games, King Dedede would cause trouble in Dream Land or provoke a challenge to prove his superiority over Kirby, leading them into conflict many times. Though Dedede is not as narrow-minded as he is in the anime, he still has his faults. Incidentally, many of King Dedede's pranks involve stealing something associated with stars; he stole all the stars from Dream Land 's skies in Kirby's Dream Course , took one of Mr.
Star 's pieces for himself in Kirby's Super Star Stacker , stole Dream Landers' Sparkling Stars and hid them away, and broke the Star Rod in Kirby's Adventure and its remake , which makes for some sort of irony between Kirby and his relationship with Dedede since Stars are strongly associated with Kirby. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land introduction.
The reasons for him doing so is not always obvious, but sometimes it can be attributed to plain selfishness or to the fact that he simply wants to cause trouble, such as when he provokes an exhausted Kirby to race with him in Gourmet Race. The few times Dedede acts plain evil is when he was under possession or influence of some dark force.
The other times where King Dedede and Kirby come to disagreement is when Dedede takes action for the greater good in his own outrageous methods, such as breaking the Star Rod, but then deciding to take a bath in the Fountain of Dreams , and Kirby didn't let Dedede fully explain himself before undoing what the king did for a good reason.
D'Preciation Day. Despite their occasional and brief bouts of animosity, King Dedede holds a grudging respect for Kirby, seeing him as a true hero of Dream Land.
However, his respect does not stop Dedede from trying to best Kirby in combat or settle their grudge, and he goes to great lengths to do so in Revenge of the King in Kirby Super Star Ultra. Other times, his admiration leads him to help Kirby, reluctantly or willingly. Dedede reluctantly helps find the Crystal Shards in Kirby The Crystal Shards after being purged of Dark Matter , is the second person to volunteer in fixing the Lor Starcutter for Magolor in Kirby's Return to Dream Land out of generosity, and readily joins forces with Kirby to stop Queen Sectonia 's threat, even rescuing him from her grasp, in Kirby: Triple Deluxe likely in part due to Kirby's efforts to save Dedede when he was abducted.
These alliances have made their still-present rivalry, interactions, and overall relationship in later games much more friendly. In The Subspace Emissary, Dedede reunites with Kirby earlier at odds with him in Subspace and tackles him in a hug, likely happy that Kirby was alright, before dragging him along so they could confront Tabuu. In the majority of the episodes, he tolerates Kirby's presence in his castle with Tiff , Tuff , Sir Ebrum , and Lady Like , but never ceases to think about new ways to get rid of the pink puff.
It was not until near the end of the series in D'Preciation Day , when he reveals that he has the same respect he has for Kirby in the games. He weeps when the Cappies make him think he really killed Kirby by going too far with his schemes, and is more relieved than furious when it turns out to be a trick and reveals he enjoys their one-sided rivalry.
Meta Knight in Kirby: Squeak Squad. Meta Knight's interactions with Kirby are often unpredictable. In Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land , he appears to want to stop Kirby as much as everybody else since King Dedede had entrusted him with a piece of the Star Rod , and sends his Meta-Knights every now and then against Kirby, but sometimes tosses him a rare Invincibility Candy instead.
In later games, Meta Knight's motivations are often clearly for the betterment of Dream Land when the plot becomes clear at the end, but sometimes still brings Kirby and himself into conflict with each other since Meta Knight does not tend to explain himself. While Kirby ends up fighting Meta Knight for whatever reason, the knight often tosses him a sword to arm himself with beforehand to show that he fights fairly. In more recent installments, Meta Knight, like King Dedede, has an improved relationship and friendlier rivalry with Kirby, aiding instead of impeding him in his quests to save Dream Land and Popstar.
He powers up the Halberd and attempts to take over Dream Land for himself to end the lazy lifestyle of Dream Landers by force.
Kirby foils his plans and sends the Halberd to the bottom of Secret Sea , but despite Meta Knight's great personal loss, he doesn't appear to harbor any misgivings toward Kirby in their future encounters, and if he did, he does not show it.
In Kirby: Right Back at Ya! In fact, Meta Knight became King Dedede's servant after the great war against Nightmare so he can secretly build the Halberd and wait for a young Star Warrior to come by. Sometimes Dedede orders him to fight Kirby, and he does, if only to test the limits of Kirby's skill. His methods can be harsh, as pointed out by Tiff , but since it is the only instance of Star Warrior training, it is not known whether all of them train using such methods, which are arguably effective.
Working as a loyal servant to King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee informs the king of Kirby's progress throughout the final stage , allowing Dedede to prepare various Mid-Bosses to attack Kirby. Additionally, in the final boss against Masked Dedede , Bandana Waddle Dee is seen cheering whenever Kirby takes damage.
While King Dedede was shown to hold a strong grudge against Kirby in Revenge of the King , expressing his annoyance by calling Kirby a "cursed pink lump" and growing angrier as he progressed throughout the final stage, Bandana Waddle Dee mainly appeared to be working in loyalty to the king, and didn't appear to be motivated by a particular disdain for Kirby. As a result, in subsequent installments, Bandana Waddle Dee was able to develop a much quicker friendship with Kirby than Dedede did.
Bandana Waddle Dee also joins Kirby in his adventure in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse , in which his figurine description calls him a "faithful companion" to Kirby. Gooey with Kirby in Kirby's Dream Land 3. Gooey is a blob of friendly Dark Matter. With the exception of cutscenes in Kirby The Crystal Shards , Kirby is mostly solitary, but he is seen fishing together with Gooey during the introduction of Kirby's Dream Land 3 before the Dark Matter invasion so Gooey is probably one of his closer friends.
Gooey was first seen in Kirby's Dream Land 2 , but his role was minimal; he is sometimes found in a sack after a mid-boss fight and only serves to heal Kirby when eaten. In Kirby's Dream Land 3 , Kirby can summon Gooey like a Helper at the cost of 2 hitpoints; the CPU or second player controls Gooey, or Kirby can swallow Gooey for the 2 hitpoints at any time, which makes Gooey seem like some sort of food to Kirby as well as being his friend.
Tiff is a character only in the anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya! She is the first person Kirby meets after crashing on Popstar. Tiff was intrigued by the whole notion of a Star Warrior and the fact that one is coming to Cappy Town , but Kirby's initial impression wasn't quite what she expected. After Kirby saves her from falling to her death in a ravine, she quickly warms up to him.
Most of the time, Tiff is like an older sibling to Kirby, although she refers to him as a friend. She helps him settle into Cappy Town and protects him from Kirby's other peers Tuff , Iroo , Spikehead , and Honey who are often less considerate about his age and capabilities.
She is the one who suggested building Kirby a house after King Dedede sabotages her efforts in finding Kirby a place to stay. As Kirby is too young to summon the Warp Star for himself, Tiff is the only one who can do it for him as she loves him the most. While she is friendly to most other people, especially to Kirby, she is slow to forgive and even slower to forget when it comes to King Dedede and Escargoon 's schemes.
Her intellect and past history with Dedede would often make her suspect that the King is up to no good when other people may believe what he said, and her efforts in discovering more about his plans make Kirby's eventual fight against the monster s a lot easier. She occasionally gets impatient with Kirby's inability to fend for himself in the mildest of situations, however, and sometimes gets fed up with him if only because her own temper got the better of her.
Kirby Comes to Cappy Town. She had suspicions that Meta Knight 's agenda was in line with King Dedede's at the start, but it was proven to be false when Meta Knight saves Kirby and herself several times. For the most part, she values the explanations Meta Knight can give about Kirby's abilities and the Warp Star , but she takes issue with Meta Knight's harsh methods to improve Kirby's capabilities, which involve Kirby literally fighting for his life.
Kirby, on his Warp Star. Kirby Air Ride in-game render. Kirby stars in all the games in the Kirby series , most of which are platformers. He hails from Planet Popstar, where he lives in a dome-shaped house in Dream Land.
Often, near the end of the game Kirby gains a Final Weapon that he must fight the main villain with. He features in several spin-offs of varied genres, including racing , pinball , breakout , golf , and falling-blocks games , among others. He also makes cameo appearances in other games. However, as Kirby's space ship nears Popstar, it detects monsters of King Dedede bought from Nightmare Enterprises and warps towards it.
This wakes Kirby years too early, and since he does not yet know how to control his space ship, it crash lands on Popstar, and Kirby is thrust into the midst of King Dedede and Escargoon 's schemes and faces an impending invasion by Nightmare 's army of monsters. Masahiro Sakurai intended Kirby to be largely mute in the anime. In the Japanese version, Kirby usually only says "Poyo," although he sometimes says names and has a limited vocabulary. In The Meal Moocher , Kirby could say "kani" crab.
Due to his stubby arms, his body language is a little odd. When he shrugs, he puts his hands in the air, since he has no elbows or shoulders. When scratching his head, he simply just rubs his palm on his cheek, because he has no fingers. Some of his poses are copied from the other characters, including Knuckle Joe 's nose scratching and Kung Fu Lee 's fighting pose. Kirby stars in several manga series, some of which have been released outside Japan.
They have recurring themes and running gags despite having different creators. In these comics, Kirby is portrayed as a detective and King Dedede as his friend. Kirby is also friends with a blue fish not Kine , but with a similar appearance , an informant who works at the Blue Fish Bar with fellow blue fish. Kirby's Animal Friends Rick , Coo , and Kine appear in Kirby's Biggest Case as pets of a female Kirby look-alike with a red bow and what appears to be a pair of red high heels, ostensibly one of Kirby's girlfriends.
These comics were advertisements for Kirby games that would be released in Germany. Kirby's colors in Super Smash Bros. Kirby has appeared in every Super Smash Bros. He retains many of his abilities from his own series, such as being able to inhale his enemies.
Kirby can inflate himself and float in this game, but he can only flap his arms six times before it appears that all the excess air leaves his body and he falls. He cannot float again until after touching the ground. Brawl , along with Jigglypuff and Mr. After Kirby inhales another fighter, he can swallow them by pressing down or B, which grants him a hat or costume, and use of the swallowed character's neutral special move in place of his own neutral special move.
Most of these abilities contain references to the Copy Abilities Kirby obtains in his games; for example, Bowser's Fire Breath and Charizard's Flamethrower work similarly to the Fire ability, the Ice Climbers parka looks like the one Kirby wears with the Freeze ability, and R.
If Kirby inhales and swallows another Kirby, it only does minor damage, but if he swallows another Kirby with an ability, he will steal that Kirby's ability. Melee , Kirby received two new attacks: a dash attack based on the Burning ability, and an attack where he swings a large hammer, similar to the Hammer ability.
The latter is his side special, a fourth special attack introduced in Super Smash Bros. In the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Melee , replacing the Break Spin. In the first Super Smash Bros. However, this was not the case in the sequel, Super Smash Bros. Melee , as he was severely reduced in power in said game; his speed went from above average to below average, and his attacks were changed and greatly weakened.
He is now placed in 26th, last place for the worst character in the game. Brawl , Kirby's attacks were once again changed, this time for the better. Waddle Dees are the most common inhabitants of Dream Land.
While mostly harmless, some Waddle Dees have been known to loyally serve King Dedede. Armed with a giant hammer, King Dedede often causes trouble, but sometimes helps Kirby out in a pinch. The mysterious swordsman is rarely seen without his iconic mask—and when he does lose it in battle, he runs away!
