Kingdom of Dreamland / Planet Popstar
Appearance
Kirby's body is soft and flexible, allowing him to flatten himself or expand like a balloon. Officially he is 20 centimeters (8 inches) tall, but the Super Smash Bros. games depict his height as about three feet when compared to the other characters, and when compared to Adeleine, a human from Kirby’s own series, he is about half the size of her. His weight is not known, although several parts of the anime and the Super Smash Bros. series suggest that he is light like a balloon. Kirby has no form of skeletal structure nor does he have teeth. The latter is confirmed in the anime episode A Dental Dilemma, where Hardy couldn't find Kirby's teeth to clean.
age
Kirby's age has never been confirmed by Japanese sources, in the anime, where he more or less acts like a little child, Kirby's peers Tiff and Tuff sometimes call him a "baby" (in the Japanese dub, Meta Knight also implies this when he tells Tiff that he was born 200 years too early). Along with his high-pitched voice and "poyo language", it's implied that Kirby is at least very young.
Personality
"He's a pretty jolly guy." Kirby is largely innocent and has a cheerful demeanor and positive attitude. He likes to help other people so much that he sometimes goes out of his way to do it; in the Dyna Blade sub-game of Kirby Super Star Ultra, he feeds Dyna Blade's chicks on his own (though expresses annoyance at Dyna Blade's chicks' constant noise-making before dragging them off to Whispy Woods to be fed by the constant dropped apples from the tree's branches) and teaches them how to fly. He has been shown to have a sense of justice, and won't spare someone who is a danger to those around him, as evidenced by his battles against final bosses. Throughout the many dangers he is put through, he is notably brave, maintaining a neutral expression almost constantly. This is especially evident in the Subspace Emissary. In the anime, he doesn't harbor dislike for anybody, in particular, not even King Dedede or Escargoon who mostly cause trouble for himself, and mostly greets everyone he meets. While he is brave and has a sense of justice, Kirby is quick to suspect King Dedede as the culprit for mischief, such as at the beginning of Kirby: Squeak Squad. In fact, Kirby has demonstrated a consistent impulsive streak throughout the series and can be as quick to start fights as he is to pass them by, fighting Dedede, Meta Knight and Dyna Blade on impulse. He also willingly responded to Dedede's call for a rematch and attacked Shadow Kirby without thinking. This recklessness can often lead him into trouble or cause him to create trouble (such as when he accidentally released Nightmare). However, in recent games, he seemingly no longer does impulsive acts having learned from his mistakes.
Personality
Kirby is shown to care deeply about those close to him. In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, he chases after Taranza, who had kidnapped King Dedede. After Kirby defeats Queen Sectonia the first time and Dedede regained consciousness from being mind-controlled, Kirby holds his hands and jumps and cheers, overjoyed to see that his arch-rival is okay. Kirby is known to be very forgiving as well, having become friends with nearly every antagonist in recent games. He even teams up with Marx and Dark Meta Knight in Kirby Star Allies, despite them not having made up for their past actions. In his own universe, Kirby is very popular for his heroic acts. In fact, he is so famous, that in the Japanese versions of the games, he is known by the title of 星のカービィ (Hoshi no Kābī, meaning "Kirby of the Stars"); while this is usually localized as just "Kirby," in Snake's Codecs with Otacon, it is instead localized as "Kirby from Dream Land." Kirby’s fame has been spread around the universe, and even to other dimensions, as evidenced with Magolor, who said that he knew about Kirby long before they met, despite living in Another Dimension. Others also learn of Kirby by his fame after meeting him. In the Japanese version of Kirby: Planet Robobot, Susie uses his title to refer to Kirby when he takes off to fight Star Dream, despite him not having told her his name or title. In Heroes in Another Dimension, Zan Partizanne shouts his name, also despite Kirby not previously telling her it. In spite of his fame, Kirby never lets any of it get to his head, and still remains kind and helpful. In the games themselves, regardless of region, Kirby retains his innocent and cheery personality,
Appetite
he loves nothing more than eating and sleeping, especially during the day. Kirby's favorite food is tomatoes, Maxim Tomatoes in particular, and these fully restore his health in the games. In the anime where tomatoes are never seen growing, Kirby gorges on watermelons instead. Kirby's appetite for food is immense (but he does have his limits); he can eat whole tables' worth of food and still go on, and partially eat a cake as large as a mountain, as shown from a cutscene in Kirby's Epic Yarn, where he and Prince Fluff had an eating contest. While it is undeniable that Kirby adores eating, it is not certain whether he enjoys the act of eating or the taste of food. Kirby has preference over certain foods but he eats just about everything. In the anime, since Cappies know about this attribute of his, they invite him to dinner whenever they have leftover food, and Tuggle often gives whole piles of expired food for him to finish. While the Cappies do it for their convenience more than for Kirby's benefit, Kirby doesn't realize nor seem to mind, and the expired food doesn't do him any harm. Even food hot enough to make people breathe fire The Hot Shot Chef doesn't seem to bother him one bit, but anything truly disgusting, like Belly Buster's pies in the anime, Mariels in Kirby's Dream Land 3, or Whispy's poison apples, Kirby would understandably hate or be hurt by.
Speech
Kirby is a character of few words and rarely speaks in-game. Much of his speech is indirect. In the games, Kirby narrates the functions of certain Copy Abilities on the pause menu in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, and Kirby: Squeak Squad. In Kirby's Star Stacker for the Super Famicom, he gives short descriptions of various menu options when they are highlighted. The most in-game talking Kirby ever did was in Kirby's Star Stacker, where he explains the game's rules, along with brief gameplay descriptions if it isn't already explained by Dedede. Kirby says the names of certain attacks when he uses a foe's ability in the Super Smash Bros. series. In the anime, Masahiro Sakurai insisted early in the development process that Kirby would not speak in the anime series, as it makes the character more endearing and easier for people to relate to. The most common thing Kirby says in the anime is "Poyo", which is meaningless, but it allows him to use his voice in such a way that it conveys his emotions without actually saying anything meaningful, as illustrated here. Kirby does occasionally say the names of his special attacks in the Japanese version, the names of certain foods, and sometimes repeats names and certain words he hears, such as yuki (snow) or suika (watermelon). He also repeats names in the English dub as well. In contrast with his usual speaking habits, Kirby loves to sing when he gets the Mike ability. Mike Kirby's amplified voice is devastating to enemies. In the anime, Kirby reduced Castle Dedede to rubble just by singing in the episodes Abusement Park and Fitness Fiend. Although the reaction from Kirby's audience suggests that his singing is bad to downright unbearable, Kirby never seems to realize it and enjoys himself regardless. Aka, Kirby mainly speaks in Poyo's and baby talk.
Inhale
Kirby's signature technique is his inhale and has been performing it since Kirby's Dream Land. It is available in almost every standard Kirby platformer with the exception of Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby Mass Attack. Kirby: Squeak Squad’s manual attributes this ability to his "powerful lungs", although all Kirby is ever seen doing is opening his mouth really wide and sucking up lots of air in the manner resembling a vacuum cleaner more than breathing. Traditionally, Kirby's inhale is unlimited in duration, but in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, he tires after inhaling for several seconds and has to take a short break. Kirby's Super Inhale is also introduced in the game, where, after inhaling for about a second, it becomes more powerful and can suck up larger objects. The Super Inhale returns in Kirby: Squeak Squad, and becomes even more powerful in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, where he can suck up stone blocks and many enemies at once. In the same game, Kirby can inhale other Kirbys to steal their Copy Ability. In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby gains an ability known as Hypernova by touching a Miracle Fruit, which allows him to inhale things as large as trees or move things made of stone or metal more than twice his size. Hypernova allows Kirby to inhale almost anything and send it back. In all games except Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby cannot inhale underwater.
Copy Abilities
After inhaling anything, Kirby has the option to either swallow it or spit it back out as a Star Spit attack. Starting from Kirby's Adventure onwards, Kirby gets a Copy Ability should the player choose to swallow an enemy with a special power. In Kirby's Adventure, Copy Abilities essentially let Kirby mimic whatever the enemy he had just swallowed, but in later titles like Kirby Super Star, each Copy Ability has multiple moves which Kirby can perform instead of just one or two. In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby can combine Copy Abilities by inhaling two enemies at once or throwing Ability Stars at enemies. Kirby Super Star introduced a continuous Health system instead of the traditional six bars of life, and is best known for introducing copy ability hats for Kirby, where most Copy Abilities give a different hat and makes Kirby look different, such as a burning headdress for Fire, a frozen crown for Ice, or a backwards baseball cap for Yo-Yo and Wheel. While the hats are absent after their introduction in the games Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, both of which are incidentally not designed by Masahiro Sakurai, they are featured consistently in later titles. Kirby Super Star also introduces the Helper system where Kirby could sacrifice a Copy Ability to create a Helper, an allied version of the enemy he had previously swallowed. Helpers have the same function as Gooey in Kirby's Dream Land 3. The new Helper would be controlled by the game or a second player. This feature has only been included in one later Kirby game, specifically, Kirby Star Allies, where Kirby can summon three helpers at once, though it was included in Kirby Super Star’s remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. Helpers were meant to be included in the unreleased game Kirby GCN, where Kirby could summon three at once, similar to Kirby Star Allies.
Other Techniques
Kirby has a soft, flexible body. This allows him to be flattened or stretched, always returning to his original shape. He can inflate himself, making himself more buoyant, and he can flap his arms to Hover. In most games, he can do this indefinitely. He can exhale to deflate himself and use the exhaled air as an attack. This technique is known as the Air Gun. In certain games—Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, the Super Smash Bros. series, Kirby Air Ride, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land—Kirby's ability to hover is limited. When underwater, most of Kirby's Copy Abilities do not work, and he is largely limited to using the Water Gun attack, where he shoots a bubble of water in one of four directions (or a constant spray in some games), unless he happens to have Sword, Hammer, Parasol, or a few other abilities which can be used underwater. The water gun works just like the air gun, but Kirby does not need to inhale beforehand. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, having the Water ability strengthens Kirby's water gun attack by having it reach farther and do more damage to enemies. In Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby can inhale underwater. In all games after Kirby's Adventure, Kirby can do a move known as the Slide kick or slide attack while crouching as a basic attack that does minor damage. In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror and Kirby: Squeak Squad, if Kirby does a slide kick facing down a steep incline, he will roll down and over any enemies in his way. The slide kick is useless against most bosses and mid-bosses. He also preforms slide kick when fighting Kung Fu Lee in the anime. In most games, when Kirby jumps off the ground, he can do a Headbutt. Kirby is able to destroy Star Blocks by hitting them from underneath. Primarily, the attack also allows Kirby to slightly damage enemies from below. Foes with a lot of health often require a few headbutts to defeat. Kirby deals the most damage when he has just left the ground and is most vulnerable at the peak of his jump.
Other Techniques
Debuting in Kirby Super Star , Kirby learns the Guard move, which allows him to protect himself from enemy attacks, and take little to no damage. When playing with multiple players in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby Star Allies, or Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, a Team Attack, which sends out a large ball of energy, is performed by two or more characters guarding and releasing their guard at the same time after a set amount of time while riding Piggyback. He can also perform the Normal Beam in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra near Helpers to revert them to an item state, which Kirby can inhale to reacquire the Copy Ability for himself. In the same games, he can get rid of his ability and toss it as an item, which Helpers can touch to claim that ability, which also saves the Helper from dying if they have run out of health. Kirby Super Star and recent games have a feature where Kirby and other playable characters can share food with each other to restore health in a motion that is just kissing. This is done by one character touching a recovery item, and touching another player within the next few seconds. It became a popular topic to parody in the Japanese manga series, and the 4Koma panels have a running gag about Kirby and Bonkers kissing each other when one is at critical health. In Kirby Star Allies, this technique is referred to as the Kirby kiss. In the anime, Kirby is an astonishingly fast runner. In Dark and Stormy Knight, he could run fast enough to skim across water and get over to the horizon within seconds. It is also explained in the episode Beware: Whispy Woods! that whatever Kirby consumes enters another dimension. Kirby can also run a lot faster than usual in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra’s Gourmet Race, as can King Dedede. In Kirby: Planet Robobot, it is stated that Kirby has infinite power, and such power allows the Invader Armor's limitations to be removed due to the armor's ability to mimic its user's abilities.
Relationships
Kirby is not as strongly affiliated with other Dream Landers as some of them might be with each other, for example King Dedede and his Waddle Dees, or Meta Knight with the Meta-Knights. In the games, during Dream Land's peace time, Kirby is either seen sleeping on a grassy turf or eating something rather than being with someone else most of the time. When Dream Land is in need of saving, Kirby mostly adventures solo, but occasionally gets help in the form of Animal Friends in Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3, a small party in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Bandana Waddle Dee in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse and Kirby and the Forgotten Land, and sometimes Helpers in Kirby Super Star, Kirby Super Star Ultra and Kirby Star Allies.
Relationships: Other Kirby's
In single player where additional Kirbys are controlled by the CPU, all the Kirbys existing simultaneously are part of Kirby himself with the exception of Kirby Air Ride, so each of them helps each other out, and share food with each other. In multiplayer and in certain sub-games such as Bomb Rally, the Kirbys exhibit some sort of friendly rivalry since such is the nature of the sub-games, although certain activities they partake in like crashing Air Ride Machines into each other and tossing bombs to each other to see who it explodes on don't look particularly "friendly". In Kirby's Dream Course’s multiplayer, Kirby and Keeby compete with each other to enter the golf hole first. In any case, Kirbys are never seen harboring ill intentions towards each other.
Relationships: King Dedede
King Dedede is Kirby's arch-rival and ally. There is a long-standing grudge and love-hate relationship between the two of them that is developed throughout the series. In older games, King Dedede would cause trouble in Dream Land or provoke a challenge to prove his superiority over Kirby, leading them into conflict many times. Though Dedede is not as narrow-minded as he is in the anime, he still has his faults. Incidentally, many of King Dedede's pranks involve stealing something associated with stars; he stole all the stars from Dream Land's skies in Kirby's Dream Course, took one of Mr. Star's pieces for himself in Kirby's Star Stacker for the Super Famicom, stole Dream Landers' Sparkling Stars and hid them away, and broke the Star Rod in Kirby's Adventure and its remake, which makes for some sort of irony between Kirby and his relationship with Dedede since Stars are strongly associated with Kirby. The reasons for him doing so are not always obvious, but sometimes it can be attributed to plain selfishness or to the fact that he simply wants to cause trouble, such as when he provokes an exhausted Kirby to race with him in Gourmet Race. The few times Dedede acts plain evil is when he was under possession or influence of some dark force. The other times where King Dedede and Kirby come to disagreement is when Dedede takes action for the greater good in his own outrageous methods, such as breaking the Star Rod, but then deciding to take a bath in the Fountain of Dreams, and Kirby didn't let Dedede fully explain himself before undoing what the king did for a good reason.
Relationships: King Dedede
Despite their occasional and brief bouts of animosity, King Dedede holds a grudging respect for Kirby, seeing him as a true hero of Dream Land. However, his respect does not stop Dedede from trying to best Kirby in combat or settle their grudge, and he goes to great lengths to do so in Revenge of the King in Kirby Super Star Ultra or in Kirby Fighters 2 where he teams up with Meta Knight to finally win against Kirby. Other times, his admiration leads him to help Kirby, reluctantly or willingly. Dedede reluctantly helps find the Crystal Shards in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards after being purged of Dark Matter, is the second person to volunteer in fixing the Lor Starcutter for Magolor in Kirby's Return to Dream Land out of generosity, and readily joins forces with Kirby to stop Queen Sectonia's threat, even rescuing him from her grasp, in Kirby: Triple Deluxe (likely in part due to Kirby's efforts to save Dedede when he was abducted). These alliances have made their still-present rivalry, interactions, and overall relationship in later games much more friendly. In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Dedede was stated to have been saddened that he could not find Kirby, and was happy to see him after being freed from Fecto Forgo's control. In The Subspace Emissary, Dedede reunites with Kirby (earlier at odds with him) in Subspace and tackles him in a hug, likely happy that Kirby was alright, before dragging him along so they could confront Tabuu.
Relationships: Meta Knight
Meta Knight's interactions with Kirby were often unpredictable. In Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, he appears to want to stop Kirby as much as everybody else since King Dedede had entrusted him with a piece of the Star Rod, and sends his Meta-Knights every now and then against Kirby, but sometimes tosses him a rare Invincibility Candy instead. Usually, Meta Knight's motivations are ultimately for the betterment of Dream Land when the plot becomes clear at the end, but sometimes still brings Kirby and himself into conflict with each other since Meta Knight does not tend to explain himself. While Kirby ends up fighting Meta Knight for whatever reason, the knight often tosses him a sword to arm himself with beforehand to show that he fights fairly. In more recent installments, Meta Knight, like King Dedede, has an improved relationship and friendlier rivalry with Kirby, directly aiding instead of impeding him in his quests to save Dream Land and Popstar. Meta Knight joins Kirby's party in helping Magolor in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and allies with Kirby once the latter frees him from the influence of Yin-Yarn and the Haltmann Works Company in Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby: Planet Robobot, respectively. The only time where Meta Knight plays the role of a villain is during the events of Revenge of Meta Knight, a sub-game in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra. He powers up the Halberd and attempts to take over Dream Land for himself to end the lazy lifestyle of the Dream Landers by force. Kirby foils his plans and sends the Halberd to the bottom of Secret Sea, but despite Meta Knight's great personal loss, he doesn't appear to harbor any misgivings toward Kirby in their future encounters; considering the Halberd has since been repaired and Meta Knight has now accepted Dream Land's laid-back ways, he has likely moved past it.
Relationships: Bandana Waddle Dee
Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee's relationship is first explored in Kirby Super Star Ultra’s Revenge of the King sub-game. Working as a loyal servant to King Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee informs the king of Kirby's progress throughout the final stage, allowing Dedede to prepare various Mid-Bosses to attack Kirby. Once Kirby has defeated all Mid-bosses, Bandana Waddle Dee decides to take Kirby on himself. Additionally, in the final boss against Masked Dedede, Bandana Waddle Dee is seen cheering whenever Kirby takes damage. While King Dedede was shown to hold a strong grudge against Kirby in Revenge of the King, expressing his annoyance by calling Kirby a "cursed pink lump" and growing angrier as he progressed throughout the final stage, Bandana Waddle Dee mainly appeared to be working in loyalty to the king, and didn't appear to be motivated by a particular disdain for Kirby. As a result, in subsequent installments, Bandana Waddle Dee was able to develop a much quicker friendship with Kirby than Dedede did. In Kirby Mass Attack's Strato Patrol EOS sub-game, Bandana Waddle Dee's first appearance after Kirby Super Star Ultra, he is seen cheering during the fight with Meta Knight, possibly in favor of Kirby. He happily joins Kirby in helping Magolor without hesitance during the events of Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Throughout Kirby Triple Deluxe and Kirby Planet Robobot, he aids and follows Kirby throughout his journeys, throwing Assist Stars. Bandana Waddle Dee also joins Kirby in his adventure in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, in which his figurine description calls him a "faithful companion" to Kirby. In Kirby Battle Royale, Bandana Waddle Dee decides to team up with Kirby in The Cake Royale, staying by his side throughout the entire tournament, even aiding Kirby in defeating the Dededestroyer Z, despite his previous devotion to King Dedede. In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Bandana Waddle Dee joins Kirby's quest to save the other Waddle Dees and later Elfilin.
Relationships: Gooey
Gooey is a blob of friendly Dark Matter. With the exception of cutscenes in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, Kirby is mostly solitary, but he is seen fishing together with Gooey during the introduction of Kirby's Dream Land 3 before the Dark Matter invasion so Gooey is probably one of his closer friends. Gooey was first seen in Kirby's Dream Land 2, but his role was minimal; he is sometimes found in a sack after a mid-boss fight and only serves to heal Kirby when eaten. In Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby can summon Gooey like a Helper at the cost of 2 hitpoints; the CPU or second player controls Gooey, or Kirby can swallow Gooey for the 2 hitpoints at any time, which makes Gooey seem like some sort of food to Kirby as well as being his friend.
Relationships: Tiff
Tiff is a character only in the anime, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. She is the first person Kirby meets after crashing on Popstar. Tiff was intrigued by the whole notion of a Star Warrior and the fact that one is coming to Cappy Town, but Kirby's initial impression wasn't quite what she expected. After Kirby saves her from falling to her death in a ravine, she quickly warms up to him. Most of the time, Tiff is like an older sibling to Kirby, although she refers to him as a friend. She helps him settle into Cappy Town and protects him from Kirby's other peers (Tuff, Iroo, Spikehead, and Honey) who are often less considerate about his age and capabilities. She is the one who suggested building Kirby a house after King Dedede sabotages her efforts in finding Kirby a place to stay. As Kirby is too young to summon the Warp Star for himself, Tiff is the only one who can do it for him as she loves him the most. While she is friendly to most other people, especially to Kirby, she is slow to forgive and even slower to forget when it comes to King Dedede and Escargoon's schemes. Her intellect and past history with Dedede would often make her suspect that the King is up to no good when other people may believe what he said, and her efforts in discovering more about his plans make Kirby's eventual fight against the monster(s) a lot easier. She occasionally gets impatient with Kirby's inability to fend for himself in the mildest of situations, however, and sometimes gets fed up with him if only because her own temper got the better of her. She had suspicions that Meta Knight's agenda was in line with King Dedede's at the start, but it was proven to be false when Meta Knight saves Kirby and herself several times. For the most part, she values the explanations Meta Knight can give about Kirby's abilities and the Warp Star, but she takes issue with Meta Knight's harsh methods to improve Kirby's capabilities, which involve Kirby literally fighting for his life.
Prompt
He does not speak a word, mainly only saying "poyo." This is to avoid giving him a fixed impression, as Kirby is a game character whose image differs from one player to another. However, he can speak simple words, such as the names of people and food, in baby talk.
