Kirby

“Hiii!!”

—Kirby, Super Smash Bros.

Kirby is a creature of an unknown species from the planet Pop Star and the main character of the Kirby series. He lives in a country called Dream Land, which is ruled by the corrupt King Dedede. The self-proclaimed king frequently causes trouble, leaving it to Kirby to protect his homeland. On his adventures, he runs into many other characters, such as the shady Meta Knight. Kirby defeats Dedede and his many minions by inhaling items and enemies and spitting them back out.

Kirby rarely appears in the Mario series, but his most notable appearance alongside Mario is in the Super Smash Bros. series.

History

Club Nintendo

Kirby made his first Mario-relevant appearances in the German Club Nintendo comics. He was one of the few non-Mario characters to appear there recurringly.

"Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland"

Kirby debuted in the comic "Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland." In this comic, Mario gets to Wunderland by accident, which is a strange land where a wizard is said to be able to fulfill desires. Among others, Mario meets Kirby in Wonderland, and mistakes him for a pillow. This annoys Kirby, and since he says he wants to look like Mega Man, he joins Mario on his way to the wizard. When arriving there, however, Kirby just says that he would like to not be a pillow any longer. The wizard then turns him into a toaster.

"Warios Weihnachtsmärchen"

Kirby in form of a "surprise bomb."

In the story "Warios Weihnachtsmärchen," he is caged for unknown reasons in Wario's Bomb Shop and expresses his anger by commanding Wario to free him. The shopkeeper, however, paints him black and sells him as a "surprise bomb." When the buyer, Kid Klown, finds out about Kirby being the "surprise", both are angry at Wario. At the end of the story, they forgive him, as he gives some cookies to them.

"Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens"

He makes one more appearance in the comic "Super Mario in Die Nacht des Grauens," featuring him as Mario's ally in the fight against Abigor. In this story, Kirby lives in a skyscraper together with several other Nintendo characters. In order to fight Abigor, who plans to take over the building, Kirby together with Mario and Link puts on some magic clothes and serums which turn them into aggressive ghostbusters. In this form, Kirby uses his Inhale and Fire Breath abilities to fight Abigor's allies.

"Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All"

Kirby's latest relevant, yet very minor Club Nintendo appearance was in the comic "Die Jagd nach dem Nintendo 64: Krawall im All." Kirby was one of the many characters to celebrate the Mario Brothers when they managed to find the then new Nintendo 64 first, before Bowser and Wario.

Mario Kirby Masterpiece

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.

Super Smash Bros. series

Super Smash Bros.

Main article: SmashWiki:Kirby (SSB)

Kirby appears in Super Smash Bros., whereas Kirby is eight inches high: his dimensions were obviously heightened for this game. 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 spits that player out, Kirby would gain one of his or her powers. This attack is taken straight from the Kirby series. Each character gives him a different attack, and he could easily get rid of the power by taunting.

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Kirby as seen in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Main article: SmashWiki:Kirby (SSBM)

Kirby returned in the game's sequel Super Smash Bros. Melee. He is still a default character, but unlike the previous game, he is lighter and slower, which lead to a poor tier position in Melee's tier list. His new attack is the Hammer.

In Adventure Mode, Kirby appears in Stage 5: Green Greens. The player must battle 18 Kirbies, each with a different power. If the 18 Kirbies are defeated in less than 30 seconds, a giant Kirby appears to battle the player.

Kirby's special moves from Melee are used in the game Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, through the use of the ability called Smash. The moves he gets are Neutral Air Hammer, Final Cutter, Stone, and Vulcan Jab. He obtains the ability from ppMaster Hand[[, who is a boss in the game.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Main article: SmashWiki:Kirby (SSBB)

Kirby returns in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, along with his rival Meta Knight and archenemy King Dedede. Kirby's Final Smash attack is called Cook Kirby. Stage 5 of Classic Mode always uses characters from the Kirby series, thus Kirby has a chance of appearing in it. Stage 15 of All-Star Mode is also Kirby based.

Solid Snake Codec Conversation

• Otacon: Snake! Watch out!
• Snake: For what? That pink marshmallow?
• Otacon: That's Kirby, also known as "Kirby from Dream Land." He's from another planet--in other words, an extraterrestrial. He's got a powerful stomach that lets him swallow and digest anything. And he also has a "Copy Ability" that allows him to mimic opponents, steal their moves, and use those moves against them. On top of that, he has the power to fly around the stage, so once he's got you in his sights, there's no place to run.
• Snake: ...Huh? Yeah, got it. I'll... keep an eye out.

The Subspace Emissary

Kirby's snapshot in The 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 either Mario or Kirby to play as. After the battle between the two, the winner resurrects the loser with a touch. The Subspace Army attacks the stadium, but Mario, Kirby, Peach, and Zelda oppose them. Mario is blown away by a cannon ball, and Kirby is ambushed by Petey Piranha, who has captured the princesses. Kirby then goes off against Petey. After either Peach or Zelda is freed, Kirby takes her for a ride off into the Sea of Clouds on his Warp Star before taking a hit and landing on the Halberd. Soon, an Arwing is shot down, blowing both the Princess and Kirby off the Halberd on the ground below.

After the Princess and Kirby land in a grassy area, Kirby runs away, leaving the princess behind. The princess turns around and sees Bowser with a Dark Cannon who immediately shoots her to transform her into a trophy. Kirby hops on King Dedede's Cargo (originally belonged to Wario) and waits there.

After King Dedede collects the Link and Yoshi (or Mario and Pit) trophies, Kirby hops out. King Dedede then gasps and with Kirby's Cutter Sword, Kirby destroys the large object that is holding the two trophies. Kirby quickly revives the two, and they all jump off the car. King Dedede turns around and leaves, but his cargo ends up blowing an engine from an arrow that's either fired by Link or Pit.

Kirby and Peach on a Warp Star.

Kirby, Mario, Pit, Link, and Yoshi become a team and go to save the other trophies (the other princess, Ness, and Luigi). They reach King Dedede's Castle, but they are still unable to rescue the trophies as Bowser escapes with the princess trophy in his Koopa Clown Car while the other trophies are buried under a large pile of stones. While Bowser steals the princess, the badge that Dedede had put on the princess falls. Kirby goes to inspect it and swallows it. The team then leaves because Dedede's Castle is destroyed by another Subspace Bomb. After leaving, they reach a desert below the castle where they follow the Ancient Minister. However the Ancient Minister sends R.O.B.s out to stop them, and he sets another bomb. It explodes, however Mario hops on Yoshi and rides off. Meanwhile, Pit and Link hop on Kirby's Warp Star and fly off. They escape before the explosion can reach them.

Later, Kirby and the others find the Ice Climbers, Marth, Lucas, the Pokémon Trainer, and Ike fighting the Subspace Army and subsequently join the fight. All of the other heroes join up with them afterward. Near the end, when the heroes are all fighting Ganondorf and Bowser in Ganondorf and Bowser's large Subspace Gunship, Kirby ends up destroying the gunship. He comes riding a Dragoon and flies right in the villain's large cannon, destroying not only the cannon but the whole ship itself. Ganondorf and Bowser escape going in the large black hole in the sky. All the heroes follow them inside.

The heroes are all in Subspace itself. Kirby and all the others attempt to fight Tabuu; however, they are all defeated with his Off Waves. The badge that Kirby swallowed turns out to have the power to turn a trophy back to life. Kirby is brought back and goes off to revive Link, Yoshi, Peach, Zelda, the Ice Climbers, Meta Knight, Lucario, R.O.B., Solid Snake, and even Wario, who also had been working with the Subspace Army and ended up in Subspace earlier on. Soon Kirby comes across Ganondorf in his trophy form, but before he could do anything, Bowser suddenly appears and starts attacking Ganondorf, having been betrayed by him earlier. Dedede (who revived Luigi and Ness with the badges) then reunites with Kirby. Kirby, as well as everyone else, fights Tabuu a second time and are able to defeat him (with some extra help).

Giant Kirby

File:GiantKirby.jpg

Giant Kirby

Giant Kirby is, as his name implies, a gigantic Kirby, and a boss in the game Super Smash Bros. Melee. Giant Kirby is also a playable character if the player plays as Kirby, and Kirby eats a Super Mushroom.

Giant Kirby is only encountered by players if they manage to defeat every Kirby in the Green Greens stage of Super Smash Bros. Melee's Adventure Mode in less then thirty seconds. Doing so will summon Giant Kirby, who will drop from the air and challenge players.

Giant Kirby uses the same attacks as a regular Kirby, though they're much more powerful. Giant Kirby, like his smaller brethren, can also inhale opponents and gain one of their abilities, as well as copy their appearance.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, players can become Giant Kirby again by grabbing a Super Mushroom.

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 Warp Star through the air.

Special Moves

Inhale

Kirby, swallowing Mario.

Main article: SmashWiki:Inhale

Kirby's Inhale (Swallow in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee) attack, which appeared in all three games from the Super Smash Bros. series, is his standard special move. When Kirby swallows an opponent, three things may happen. If the player presses the special or down button, Kirby, in almost all cases, copies his opponent's standard special attack in the place of Inhale, as well as receiving one of the several Kirby Hats corresponding with whichever opponent he swallowed. This does not work on the following only:

• Another Kirby (unless that Kirby has a different power)
• Metal Mario (Super Smash Bros. only)
• Any background enemy in Adventure Mode i.e. Primid, Goomba, Koopa Troopa, Koopa Paratroopa, ReDead, Like Like, Octorok, Topi and Polar Bear.
• Polygons, Wire Frames, and Alloys.
• Bosses

If the player presses the or , Kirby spits out the character, doing damage to him/her. Kirby does not absorb his target's abilities by doing this. Also, opponents can break free from Kirby if they rapidly mash buttons.

In the original Super Smash Bros., if Kirby holds an opponent in his mouth, he would be unable to walk or jump until he spits or swallows the enemy. All he is limited to in movement is to turn around. This was fixed in Super Smash Bros. Melee. If Kirby uses his Taunt, he lets go of the power that he gained.

Hammer

File:BrawlHammerMove.jpg

Kirby's hammer.

Main article: SmashWiki:Hammer

Main article: Wikirby:Hammer

Not to be confused with Mario and Luigi's Hammer, Hammer is a special move that Kirby can use in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It is Kirby's side+ move, and the attack differs in the air. It resembles King Dedede's hammer. On the ground, Kirby pulls out a very large hammer, holds it back, and then swipes across, hurting anyone who gets hit. It is a good long distance move, but it takes a while to use. In the air, Kirby pulls out the Hammer, and he spins forward with the hammer out. This is also a good long range attack. The attack itself is one of the Kirby's many weapons in the Kirby series. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, however, when done in mid-air, rather than going vertical, it now spins twice horizontally.

Final Cutter

File:BrawlFinalCutter.jpg

Kirby, using Final Cutter.

Main article: SmashWiki:Final Cutter

Final Cutter is an attack that Kirby can use in all three Super Smash Bros. games. It is executed by performing an up-special. Kirby flies with a Scimitar and crushes on the ground, damaging any opponents. Also, the move doesn't stop there; when Kirby hits the ground with the sword, a blue wave is sent across the ground, damaging any opponents that hit it. When coming down, Final Cutter acts as a weak Meteor Smash. It can also act as a third jump. The attack is introduced in Kirby Super Star under the Cutter ability, but is later changed to one of Sword's attacks. Final Cutter is not to be confused with Cutter, a character from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.

Stone

The different forms that Kirby uses when he utilizes his Stone ability.

Main article: SmashWiki:Stone

Main article: Wikirby:Stone

Stone is an attack used by Kirby in all three Super Smash Bros. games. Kirby uses this attack only if a down special is executed. Once this is done, Kirby transforms into a random heavy object. He cannot move in this state, but he cannot be hurt. Grabbing, however, nullifies this immunity. The attack is best used in the air, so that Kirby can drop on the opponent. In the original Super Smash Bros., Kirby only turned into a rock. However, in the sequel and Brawl, Kirby could change into different things; a Garbage Block from Panel de Pon, a pink rock (the original Stone from Kirby's Adventure) , a 100T weight, a spiked ball (bearing a similar look to a Gordo), and even a Thwomp.

Cook Kirby

Kirby releasing the characters and many items after using Cook Kirby.

Main article: SmashWiki:Cook Kirby

Main article: Wikirby:Cook

Cook Kirby is the name of Kirby's Final Smash move in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. When Kirby breaks the Smash Ball during a fight, he can pull out a giant pot and wear a chef's hat. He uses his spatula to draw players, and even items into the pot and starts to simmer the boiling water. As he does this, he damages the players caught in the pot massively. He then takes out all the players, and sends them flying across the stage with items coming out.

The items that pop up is determined by what items are turned "ON" in the Item Switch menu. This applies to Group Mode and Training, but not for any other game mode.

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

Melee

#	Name	Image	First Game/Moves	Description
16	Kirby (Classic)	File:Trophy16.PNG	Kirby's Dream Land 08/92	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.
17	Kirby [Smash] (Adventure)	File:Trophy17.PNG	: Swallow Smash : Hammer	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.
18	Kirby [Smash] (All-Star)	File:Trophy18.PNG	Up & : Final Cutter Down & B: Stone	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.
157	Kirby Hat 1	File:Trophy157.PNG	Super Smash Bros. Melee 12/01	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.
158	Kirby Hat 2	File:Trophy158.PNG	Super Smash Bros. Melee 12/01	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.
159	Kirby Hat 3	File:Trophy159.PNG	Super Smash Bros. Melee 12/01	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.
160	Kirby Hat 4	File:Trophy160.PNG	Super Smash Bros. Melee 12/01	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.
161	Kirby Hat 5	File:Trophy161.PNG	Super Smash Bros. Melee 12/01	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.
233	Fire Kirby	File:Trophy233.PNG	Kirby's Adventure 5/93	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.
234	Fighter Kirby	File:Trophy234.PNG	Kirby Super Star 9/96	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.
235	Ball Kirby	File:Trophy235.PNG	Kirby's Adventure 5/93	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.

Brawl

#	Name	Image	Appearance(s)	Description
11	Kirby	File:TrKirby.jpg	GB Kirby's Dream Land SNES Kirby Super Star	A round, pink ball of cuteness from a distant, peaceful star. He can swallow anything with his gigantic mouth, then spit it out as ammo. He has the handy ability to copy powers and use them as his own. His hovering ability lets him fly through the air with ease. He's so round, he's sometimes treated like a ball.
12	Cook Kirby	File:TrCook kirby.jpg	WII Super Smash Bros. Brawl	Kirby in chef's garb. When Kirby throws on his chef's hat, a giant pot appears in the center of the screen. All characters, items, and even long-distance weapons are sucked into the pot. Once they've simmered a bit, food items equal to the number of things in the pot appear. Characters in the mix get blasted straight up out of the pot.
393	Beam Kirby	File:TrBeam kirby.jpg	Kirby's Adventure 1993	Kirby in a jester cap...and a super cute Kirby at that. Beam Kirby features a Beam ability, acquired by inhaling Waddle Doo, that allows him to shoot a whiplike beam at his enemies. With a wide attack range, this ability is extremely easy to use, especially for taking out enemies in bunches. In Kirby Super Star, this beam can also be charged and fired.
394	Needle Kirby	File:NeedleKirby.jpg	Kirby's Adventure 1993	A Kirby ability made when Kirby inhales a spiked enemy. When attacking, the needles on Needle Kirby's body extend, giving him a porcupine-like look. This ability provides both offensive and defensive measures against nearby enemies. Plus, needles which extend on Kirby's underside when jumping eliminate any threats on landing.
395	Sword Kirby	File:TrSword kirby.jpg	Kirby's Adventure 1993	A Kirby ability made when Kirby inhales a sword-wielding foe or a sword itself. Doing so provides Kirby with a rapid sword slash, a jumping sword spin, or even the energy-beam blast of the Final Sword. It wouldn't be a stretch to say that this is the #1 Copy Ability in terms of accessibility.
396	Sleep Kirby	File:TrSleep kirby.jpg	Kirby's Adventure 1993	Kirby after he copies the ability to sleep peacefully. Kirby takes on this form when he inhales Noddy or other such enemies. Kirby cannot move at all while sleeping, so extra care should be taken not to use this ability when enemies are near. Kirby, in his slumber, tends to drool, and in his panicked awakening, isn't it cute how he forgets to wipe off the drool?
397	Wing Kirby	File:TrWing kirby.jpg	Kirby Super Star 1996	Kirby when he inhales a winged enemy and copies its flying ability. This ability can be used to proceed through strong winds that would otherwise be too tough to overcome. Wing Kirby can also perform a plethora of attack moves, such as the Bomber Head, where Kirby dive-bombs onto enemy heads.
398	Fighter Kirby	File:TrFighter kirby.jpg	Kirby's Adventure 1993	Kirby when he is skilled in martial arts, especially close-quarters combat. Inhaling brawny challengers like Knuckle Joe will transform Kirby, allowing him to use a bunch of fight moves like Rising Break, the heroic uppercut. His Mega Power Shot in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, which used charged energy to take out faraway enemies, is another Fighter Kirby highlight.
399	Fire Kirby	File:TrFire kirby.jpg	Kirby's Adventure 1993	Kirby when he inhales an enemy who uses fire. Shooting fire from his mouth, Fire Kirby can cook enemies from afar. This ability also allows Kirby to light explosive blocks, fuses, and so on. In Kirby Super Star and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Fire Kirby can roll his burning body into enemies as an attack move.
400	Ice Kirby	File:TrIce kirby.jpg	Kirby's Adventure 1993	Kirby when he copies an enemy with chilly abilities. Ice Kirby can blow an icy wind from his mouth and freeze enemies solid. These frozen enemies can then be knocked into other enemies as an additional means of attack. These blocks are not only effective against enemies but can also be used on terrain such as magma or water.
401	Plasma Kirby	File:TrPlasma kirby.jpg	Kirby Super Star 1996	Kirby when he inhales Plasma Wisps, which glow with a neon green flame. Plasma Kirby can charge the plasma strength up to a maximum level of 5. In Kirby Super Star, your attack--be it a Plasma Laser or a Plasma Wave Cannon--varies with the length of time you charge it.
402	Tornado Kirby	File:TrTornado kirby.jpg	Kirby's Adventure 1993	Kirby when he inhales enemies that fly around like twisters through the sky. When in tornado form, Kirby can spin freely through the air for short amounts of time, clearing out groups of enemies. Tornado Kirby will continue spinning and bouncing violently off of obstacles until he comes to a stop. One drawback of Tornado Kirby is the control difficulty.

Trivia

The Thwomp transformation from Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

• In Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Kirby occasionally transforms into a Thwomp when using his downward- attack.
• In Nintendo Monopoly, Kirby took the role of Virginia Avenue. He's worth $160.
• Kirby has more trophies of himself than any other playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
• In Kirby Super Star, Mario, Luigi, Birdo, and some Toads are in the crowd while Kirby is battling King Dedede or playing the Megaton Punch. In the remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Princess Peach and Wario can also be found, but Birdo is removed. The Mario cameos are found only while Kirby is battling King Dedede. Also, there is a chance of Stone Kirby transforming into a gold Mario and Samus statue in both games. The gold Mario statue can also be found in one of the credits.
• Kirby is one of five Character Cards used in the Augmented Reality Games software on the Nintendo 3DS.
