Template:SSB Infobox Kirby is a creature from the planet Pop Star. He lives in the country called Dream Land. However, his land is ruled by a corrupt king called King Dedede, who frequently causes trouble. But Kirby always manages to protect his land. His species is unknown. Kirby rarely appears in the Mario series, but his most notable appearance alongside Mario is the Super Smash Bros. series.
Super Smash Bros. Series
Kirby appears in Super Smash Bros.. Kirby was a light fighter, and most of his attacks were light-weight (except for his Stone attack, of course). However, Kirby had a unique ability, so far restricted to him. He is able to use suction abilities, and pull an opposing fighter inside his mouth. Once he spat that player out, Kirby would gain one of their powers. This attack was taken straight from the Kirby series. Each character gives him a differant attack, and he could easily get rid of the power by taunting. This ability made him a favorite among players.
Kirby returned in the games sequel Super Smash Bros. Melee. He was still a default character, but was lighter and weaker than before. Kirby is now able to copy more abilities, now that more characters have been introduced, and is now able to use a new attack, the Hammer.
In Adventure Mode, Kirby appears in Stage 5: Green Greens. The player must battle Kirby in the Green Greens stage. Upon his defeat, the player must battle 18 Kirby's, each with a different power. If the 18 Kirby's are defeated in less than 30 seconds, a giant Kirby will appear to battle the player. However, this Kirby is basically the same as a Kirby who has permanently used a Mushroom.
Kirby will return in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, along with his rival Meta Knight and archenemy King Dedede. He will be using his Hammer move, and he has been heard using Final Cutter. He will also keep his famous Swallow attack. Kirby's Final Smash attack is called Cook Kirby.
Role in Subspace Emissary
In the beginning, a trophy of Mario and Kirby are thrown into an arena. The two come to life and fight. The player chooses the one to play with. After the battle between the two, the winner resurrects the loser with a touch. The Subspace Army attacks the stadium. Mario, Kirby, Peach, and Zelda oppose them. Mario is blown away and Kirby is ambushed by Petey Piranha, who has captured the princesses. Kirby then goes off against Petey. Whoever is freed, afterwards Kirby takes them for a ride on his Warp Star before being hit onto the Halberd. Soon after, an Arwing gets shot down, blowing both the Princess and Kirby off the Halberd onto the ground below.
Other Appearances in the Marioverse
Kirby made a cameo in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga in the Yoshi Theater poster. There was a poster in the theater advertising a movie known as Kirby Story, whose artwork featured Kirby riding a Warpstar through the air. The Kirby series enemy Gordo also appeared in Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, and the Star Rod, the single most important artifact of the Kirby series, got appearances as a major artifact in Paper Mario and Mario Party 8.
Mario has also made cameos in some of his games. One such cameo is Kirby Super Star, where Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Peach, and Birdo were in the background of events such as Kirby Vs Dedede and the Megaton Punch competition. He also appears as the rarest form of stone as a gold statue.
Appearances in Other Media
Kirby appears in the Club Nintendo comic "Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland". He is unhappy with his pillow-like appearance in this story and wishes to look like Mega Man. Crab the wizard, however, turns him into a toaster.
Finally, Kirby appeared alongside Mario in the obscure educational video Mario Kirby Masterpiece; however, this video was merely a compilation of their non-intertwining adventures. In Kirby's Mario Kirby Masterpiece segment, he helps a little lost dog find its mother, who was kidnapped by King Dedede.

Profile Information from Super Smash Bros.
The 8-inch high Kirby hails from a distant, peaceful star. Like his simplistic appearance, he is an easily-understood character. True to his instincts, Kirby eats when he gets hungry and sleeps as soon as he grows tired. Nevertheless, Kirby remains a formidable opponent. In addition to his distinct flying and swallowing skills, he also has the ability to copy enemy attacks for ever-changing action.
Trophy Information from Super Smash Bros. Melee
Classic
A denizen of the far-off, peaceful planet Pop Star, Kirby became a citizen of Dream Land after defeating King Dedede. Even though he's only about eight inches tall, Kirby is an extremely skilled technician. He has the ability to absorb the powers of his enemies, and his elastic body makes him a versatile adventurer.
Adventure
Kirby's small size lets him dodge many attacks, but his light weight makes him fly far when struck. Using his ability to inflate, he can jump five times. His Swallow attack creates wild combos; not only can he copy foes' moves, but he'll also put on special hats and mimic their voices. His Hammer is unwieldy but powerful.
All-Star
Because of his light weight, Kirby is always in danger of being sent flying, but his ability to puff up and fly allows him to come back from amazing distances. His Final Cutter strikes on the way up and on the way down, and it sends out a beam of force upon landing. Kirby transforms into various objects and crashes down when he uses his Stone technique.
Other Trophies
Kirby has several other throphies devoited to him.
Kirby Hat 1
Here's Kirby sporting several results of his Copy ability. In Link's hat he can shoot arrows, while Mario's cap gives him access to Fireballs. The Donkey Kong suit offers up a Giant Punch, while Samus's helmet allows Kirby to fire off charged-up energy shots. Finally, while wearing the Yoshi hat, Kirby can swallow enemies and turn them into eggs.
Kirby Hat 2
Kirby's got several of his finest hats on here. In Ness's baseball cap, he can use the power of PSI to unleash PK Flash, while Captain Falcon's visor gives him the ability to unleash a huge punch. His adorable Pikachu cap comes complete with stored-up electric charges, allowing him to shock his foes, and the Fox ears come with a matching blaster.
Kirby Hat 3
With all of these hats, Kirby could open his own haberdashery! Peach's crown lets him use Toad, while the Ice Climber parka allows him to shoot ice blocks. Kirby has Fire Breath in the Bowser horns, and he can copy Zelda in both her forms. In Zelda's headdress he can use Nayru's Love, while Sheik's wrap gives him a needle arsenal.
Kirby Hat 4
Looks like Kirby's copied a bunch of hidden characters! In Luigi's hat, he can shoot green Fireballs, while copying Mewtwo gives him the power to throw Shadow Balls. Copying Mr. Game & Watch lets Kirby hurl sausages, and doing the same to Jigglypuff earns him a Rollout move. Marth's hair comes complete with a powerful Shield Breaker move.
Kirby Hat 5
Secret hats galore! In Pichu's hat Kirby can shoot out electricity, while Dr. Mario's headgear gives him Megavitamins. When Kirby wears Falco's beak, he gets to use Falco's powerful Blaster; by the same token, he can fire arrows when in Young Link's cap. When Kirby copies Ganondorf he gets the Warlock Punch, and copying Roy produces a Flare Blade.
Fire Kirby
When Kirby swallows a fire-wielding enemy, he transforms into Fire Kirby. Not only does he breathe fire in this form, but he can also sprout flames on his entire body and damage enemies by crashing into them. Fire Kirby wears the bright red headdress of his enemy Burning Leo. The hat turns into a helpful weapon when thrown.
Fighter Kirby
Kirby dons a warrior's headband and becomes a fierce fighter when he swallows an enemy skilled at physical attacks. Fighter Kirby uses many colorful punching and kicking moves as he overpowers his enemies with his sparring skills. The Vulcan Jab is just one of the many techniques Kirby can use thanks to his copying power.
Ball Kirby
When Kirby swallows a ball enemy, he turns into a ball and can bounce off of floors and walls. It's tough to control, but well worth it for the strong attack power it gives Kirby. After his debut in Kirby's Adventure, Ball Kirby has popped up in several more Kirby games, such as Kirby's Pinball Land and Kirby's Block Ball.
Trivia
- In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Kirby will occasionally transform into a Thwomp when using his downward-B attack.
- Wario's ability to suck up Coins in Wario World is extremely similar to Kirby's inhale ability.
- Kirby was in Nintendo Monopoly, where he replaced Virginia Avenue, and costed $160.
- The theme song from Kirby's anime television show Kirby: Right Back at Ya! is a selectable song in Donkey Konga.
- In the beta version of Super Smash Bros. Melee, Kirby was noticeably absent from the character select, perhaps he was originally planned to be unlockable.
