Kirby

Kirby is the titular main protagonist from the Kirby series.
== Charactah Account ==
Kirby is a young Star Warrior. He is spoken of in legend as Kirby of the Stars. However, Kirby himself is a creation of Nightmare—but he was considered a failure. No one knows for sure what happened afterwards, or how Kirby ended up in the starship that he crashes on Pop Star in. Because a Star Warrior's ship is designed to go wherever monsters are, Kirby's ship detected the creatures Dedede was ordering and he was awakened 200 years before schedule. Because of this, he is still only a baby.
Despite this, he readily fights for his friends. During battle he shows amazing skill, though he needs a little help sometimes.
Otherwise, Kirby is like any other child, though with a much larger appetite. He loves to play and sleep, and can be utterly fascinated by even the most mundane things. He has a strong spirit, and loves to help people—sometimes even his enemies. He even demonstrates a maternal side on occasion.

== Trivia ==
* Kirby's original name was "Popopo." The name of the Popopo Islands in Kirby Mass Attack is a homage to this fact.
* In the North American television commercial for Kirby's Dream Land, it was shown that Kirby had a tuft of hair and teeth. This was an obvious deviation from his original design.
** It should be noted that he had this only after swallowing the male cartoon character he was standing with (Dashing Super Guy).
* In the Super Smash Bros. series, many of Jigglypuff's attacks and abilities are similar to Kirby's.
* While not affiliated with anyone in particular, Kirby has been depicted as having a romantic relationship with Ribbon in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, where she gives Kirby a kiss in the good ending. Kirby, lovestruck, twirls about happily, loses his balance and falls down a set of stairs. The official manga depicts ChuChu having a crush on Kirby as well, but the content is not considered to be canon in the games.
* Kirby appears in Star Pics in AR Games as a card packaged with the ? Block card and the other characters, who are also cards. If the AR Games application is used and, in Star Pics, if the Nintendo 3DS camera detects said card, then Kirby emerges from the card. The normal pose is on the card, but the poses can be switched to Kirby drawing himself, riding on a Warp Star, Kirby with his Parasol ability, and finally, Kirby running.
* Kirby makes a small appearance in the game EarthBound as a cursor for the game's Boot Up Debug menu.
* Kirby makes a cameo appearance as an unlockable hat in the Nintendo 3DS built-in game StreetPass Mii Plaza.
* One of Kirby's alternate patterns for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS resembles Meta Knight without his mask on, excluding the vivid yellow eyes and the lack of blushes.
* In Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Melee, Kirby's green palette swap has green feet, but in succeeding games, it has orange feet. This is because the green palette was not initially based on any character or Copy Ability color. Green Kirby was introduced as a character in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land in 2002, the year after Super Smash Bros. Melee was released. The color palette changed to represent Green Kirby in starting in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
* During the course of Kirby: Planet Robobot, Susie refers to Kirby as "pinky" twice; this marks the first time in the game series that he has been referred to by a nickname.
** However, in the Japanese version, he is instead called by his actual name.
* On the second episode of the Nintendo Power Podcast, show host Chris Slate, Nintendo Minute co-host Krysta Yang, and Nintendo of America Senior Director of Localization Nate Bihldorff were asked what Kirby feels like. Yang answered that she thought he feels like "a warm stress ball." Bihldorff said that he "want[s] to believe" that Kirby feels like velour fabric. Slate stated that he once ate a Kirby cake pop, so he believes Kirby "both feels and tastes like a cake pop."
* Void Termina may be related to Kirby, as his interests such as taking a nap is similar to Kirby's (as stated in Void's pause description), and his core form frequently assumes Kirby's neutral expression.
* During the trailer for Fortnite’s Party Royale mode, Kirby makes two appearances on the bottom right of a giant in-game screen meant to display live shows, performing the game's well-known "Dance Moves" emote. This was most likely an oversight on the developers' part.
** In the PlayStation and Xbox versions of the trailer, Kirby is censored, likely to avoid copyright infringement.
* According to Kirby Fighters 2, Kirby is unable to read, as he is unable to read the letter Meta Knight and King Dedede send him as stated in the introduction to Story Mode: The Destined Rivals.
