Kirby as seen in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Kirby, who has his own separate game series, is one of the Super Smash Bros. game's leading characters. Kirby has the ability to suck his rivals into his mouth and mimic their powers and special abilities. From Super Smash Bros. Kirby can copy Mario characters like Mario (gives him bouncy fireballs), Luigi (green, straight fireballs), Peach (gives him Toad), Yoshi (can lay eggs), Bowser (Fire breath), Donkey Kong (Giant Punch), and Dr. Mario (Megavitamins). Kirby comes in different colors including yellow (a possible nod to the color Shigeru Miyamoto wanted him to be), red, blue, green, white (most likely a reference to his Game Boy games, like Kirby's Dream Land which, due to the black and white screen of the Game Boy, depicted him white), and the signature pink.

Kirby made a cameo in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga in the Yoshi Theater poster. Mario also has 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. The Kirby series enemy Gordo also appeared in Super Mario Land 2: Six Golden Coins, and the Star Rod, perhaps the most important artifact of the Kirby series, got an appearance as a major artifact in Paper Mario.

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.
