Kirby (SSB: SC)

Kirby is the titular protagonist of the video game series of the same name, a playable character in Super Smash Bros: Super Change, and the tritagonist of the game's Story Mode. His description reads this: "As the grand hero of Dream Land, Kirby can be cute and bubbly on the outside, but headstrong and loyal in the inside!". He returns alongside the 11 other starters of the original Smash Bros. He was confirmed in a trailer on July 16th, 2024 along with Link and Donkey Kong. Kirby hasn’t changed much since Smash Ultimate, aside from being a brighter pink color to match his appearance in Kirby Triple Deluxe, a new Final Smash, and major changes to his attacks.
He is voiced by Makiko Ohmoto, reprising her role from the titular game series to provide new voice lines.
