Kirby's Dream Land
Kirby is a small, pink, spherical alien with red feet, stubby flap-like arms and pink cheek-blushes. He is referred to as male in the animated series, and described as a young boy in the instruction manual for "Kirby's Dream Land". His body is soft and flexible, allowing him to stretch his mouth to inhale foes or inflate himself with air and float. According to "Super Smash Bros." instruction manual, he is 8 inches tall; this is contradicted in "Kirby's Dream Land 3" and "Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards", the former of which shows Kirby to be at about knee height compared to Samus Aran and the latter of which showing him to be a few inches shorter than the human girl Adeleine.
