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.

Kirby, a Warpstar Knight in training, crash-lands on the Planet Popstar amd accidentally ends up as the pink protector of the villagers. His most amazing ability is to inhale his enemies' powers and give them a taste of their own medicine. ” Kirby is shown to have an impulsive side to him, such as when he accuses Dedede of interfering with the Fountain of Dreams in Kirby's Adventure, and then leaves to retrieve the pieces of the shattered Star Rod without even letting Dedede explain himself. This personality feature of his is also an important plot element in Kirby: Squeak Squad, where Kirby immediately blames King Dedede for the theft of his Strawberry Shortcake without any proof, then later on releases Dark Nebula from a Treasure Chest that he thinks contains his missing cake. Despite his impulsiveness, he is relatively intelligent, as evidenced in his systematic destruction of the Halberd in Revenge of Meta Knight and his general resourcefulness in the Subspace Emissary. He is also eager to help everyone who isn't a clear enemy, a part of his innocent personality that is exploited by some characters. All of Kirby's victory animations are variations of the Kirby Dance. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there are now three Kirbys, just like in some versions of the dance.Watts, Steve (22 February 2023). "Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe Review - Kirb Your Enthusiasm". GameSpot .

Parrish, Ash (2022-03-23). "Kirby and the Forgotten Land is as sweet and slight as cotton candy". The Verge . Retrieved 2023-09-30. Original article [Mon 14th Mar, 2022 17:00 GMT] The Kirby series' 30th anniversary is fast approaching, as is the release of the pink puffball's next game, Kirby and the Forgotten Land. And it looks like we're going to have a big music festival to celebrate one of Nintendo's most recognisable, and cutest, characters. 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." [32] Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, a remake of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, was announced in 2022, and was subsequently released on February 24th, 2023. Kirby was created by Masahiro Sakurai as the player character of the 1992 video game Kirby's Dream Land. Sakurai conceived the idea around May 1990 at the age of 19 while he was working at HAL Laboratory. [2] The character's design was intended to serve as a placeholder graphic for the game's original protagonist in early development and thus was given a simplistic ball-like appearance. Sakurai switched to the placeholder design after deciding that it served the character better. The character was known as Popopo ( ポポポ) during development, as the first game was planned to be titled Harukaze Popopo (lit. "Spring Breeze Popopo", or "Popopo of the Spring Breeze") until HAL renamed it Twinkle Popo. Nintendo and HAL chose to change his name so that he would appeal to Western audiences. [3] The name "Kirby" was chosen from a list of potential names. Shigeru Miyamoto stated that "Kirby" was chosen in honor of American lawyer John Kirby, who defended Nintendo in the Universal City Studios, Inc. v. Nintendo Co., Ltd. case and that the harsh-sounding name contrasted amusingly with the character's cute appearance. [4]
