Kirby

Kirby is the titular protagonist of the Kirby series, developed by HAL Laboratories and published by Nintendo. He is a pink puffball with beady eyes, blush marks, stubby hands, and red feet. This appearance can be misleading as he is courageous and tough. He will stop at nothing to save his home planet, Pop Star, from any threat, including the dastardly King Dedede and any extraterrestrial invaders.
Kirby's trademark move is his Inhale. He can spit inhaled enemies and objects, often turning them into a star projectile, or swallow one of various special enemies to copy its powers. Copy Abilities were not present in Kirby's original appearance, but were introduced in his second game, Kirby's Adventure, to add gameplay depth.
==Appearances==
Canonically Kirby has appeared in every Kirby game to date, which is appropriate as he is both the main protagonist and playable character of the series. Kirby has also appeared in various manners through cameos or as representation for his series (often alongside fellow characters; Meta Knight and King Dedede) in other games such as the Super Smash Bros. Games. An enemy based on him also appears in Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening.
==Fanon Appearances==
===Kirby Fan Games===
====Crisis! (Neverworld)====
In Neverworld Kirby becomes the second Meta Knight. He has been confirmed to take the original Meta Knight's place as Black Knight in the Chess Squad during the Nintendo Civil War. His original armor (right) is rickety and badly made, and is destroyed during a fight with Link. He then upgrades it, becoming more powerful (see below).

Kirby and three other multicoloured Kirbys are summoned to defeat Nightmare after being released after being defeated earlier. Each coloured Kirby has different personalities to make different from each other.
====Kirby: Nova Zoo====
Kirby is the main character of Kirby: Nova Zoo. The story begins with Kirby eating cake before he and the cake, as well as many residents of Dreamland are abducted by the titular Nova Zoo. Kirby manages to escape his confinement by sucking the glass off his cell, although while looking for his cake he comes across Susie, Marx, Chef Kawasaki, and Gryll. They prepare to fight him before Susie manages to convince them otherwise, making the argument that Kirby is so much stronger than everything on the Zoo and may serve as the only means to escape.
Kirby's strength in this game is accentuated by the sheer amount of powerful abilities he has at his disposal. Not only is the Robobot Armor back, but so is Hypernova from Triple Deluxe and the Super Abilities from Return to Dream Land. He doesn't fight alone though; using Dream Allies, which mostly consist of people Kirby has beaten in the past, he verges on unstoppable with the powers of Susie, Marx, and more.

==Trivia==
*Contrary to popular belief, Kirby was not white in his artworks due to the misunderatanding of whether Kirby should be Pink (Masahiro Sakurai's choice) or Yellow (Shigeru Miyamoto's choice). Miyamoto actually thought Kirby was going to be yellow because of the Game Boy monochrome screen and was pleasantly suprised that he was pink instead.
