100 Facts About Kirby That YOU Didn't Know!

kirby is one of nintendo's most popular and lovable characters but despite this most people don't even know much about his games so today let's take a look at 100 kirby facts that you probably don't know kirby and dreamland's title screen was drastically changed in the international releases to accommodate the longer title kirby's air ride was originally going to be called kirby bowl 64 in release on the n64 in the very first level of curbing the forgotten land called point of arrival you can hear birds chirping along with other ambient noises but if you pay close attention you'll hear the birds are actually tripping the grassland scene mario luigi toad and birdo are visible in the stands of the spring breeze battle with king dedede and kirby superstar kirby's adventure is by far the largest nes game coming in at a whopping 6 megabits the first letter of each world in kirby's adventure spells out viv g you're which if you haven't guessed is roy g biv spelled backwards if kirby uses the fighter ability in planet robobot and presses the street fighter inputs for a hadoken kirby will do a charged version of his attack kirby's dream course and earthbound share many sound effects this is because they are both developed by hal laboratories around the same time the title of the 3ds game kirby's triple deluxe is a play on 3d triple being the 3 in deluxe being the d kirby's avalanche is called kirby's ghost trap in pal releases kirby's air ride was the last game massa hero sakurai directed for hal laboratories kirby's return to dreamland had an excruciating 11 year long development cycle going through multiple redesigns and restarts before finally being released in 2011 on the wii link canonically kills kirby well anti-kirby a featured boss in link's awakening kirby is also in fortnite well at least he was left in the trailer for a few frames this was removed for the playstation and xbox versions of the games leaving many to assume it was a mistake kirby isn't in fortnite but fortnite definitely is in kirby a 2019 my nintendo wallpaper for kirby's epic yarn randomly had a fortnite logo in it in an american commercial for kirby's dreamland kirby had teeth okay so let's go from one of the most cursed kirby facts to one of the most wholesome in 2011 nintendo held a contest with the starlight children's foundation for children to invent a new kirby super ability one of the abilities shown in the contest gallery was dr kirby who would help others who are sick if this isn't already one of the most wholesome things to ever exist dr kirby would actually come to exist being added into kirby planet robobot while kirby was always intended to be pink on the american box art for kirby's dreamland the first game in the series he was actually white this was a communication error with the team because although kirby was supposed to be pink there was no way of knowing this by playing the game because on the gameboy he just appeared in grayscale okay going from the first kirby to the newest kirby kirby in the forgotten land is representing a brand new direction for the series and features a new version of the main kirby series logo having changed the font for the first time since kirby nightmare and dreamland and that logo has received a major update kirby's original name was twinkle popo or popo and that scrap name reappeared as the popo po islands in kirby mass attack kirby ended up being named after a lawyer for nintendo of america john kirby hal is both the reference to being one letter before ibm and hal and hal 9000 from 2001 a space odyssey hal made many games before kirby including edgarland mystery which also released on the msx in 1985. eggerland mysteries starred both lololo and la la la who'd go on to be boss's turned allies in the kirby franchise some of the most expensive amiibo are these ddd and meta knife features which have manufacturing errors kirby right back at ya the tv show was dubbed and localized by four kids entertainment which also had some questionable changes one of these changes included ddd's chainsaw into a lightsaber looking thing why this was changed i'm not quite sure kirby 64 the crystal shards is one of the few games in the series not to feature the curry dance in any form however there was some reference to the victory theme in the code meaning it was probably originally planned in kirby's return to dreamland kirby occasionally smugly smirks while doing the dance no clue why in the same game kirby can also moonwalk as his dance which is an obvious reference to michael jackson kirby appears quite often in the smash bros promotional media like fighter reveals like rosalina minman kazuya and the world of light probably given that his creator is masahiro sakurai who obviously produces smash kirby technically first appeared as a background cameo in arcana a hal game that dropped two months before dreamland during development most kirby games are internally named after food some of the most interesting ones are kirby's fighter deluxe being pizza and planet robobot being torta team kirby clash deluxe and super kirby clash are lime and lime 2 respectively obviously because they are somewhat sequels kirby was originally a placeholder icon before the developers fell in love with him king dedede's name is pronounced day day day in japanese and the smash crowd chants both pronunciations zachariah voices ddd in smash meaning in the banjo kazooie and k rool trailers he's literally laughing at the viewer the super spicy kirby was only in the first kirby game then it appeared 15 years later as a smash item kirby's copy ability was also not in the first game being added a year later in a sequel in fact ans complained that in the first game kirby dreamland on game boy was too easy so hence why copy abilities were added in the sequel to incentivize players to fight the enemies rather than just fly over them when coming up with the copy ability concept developers came up with over 40 items for different abilities however only 26 made into the sequel notably cut a block making power which we would eventually go on to see as one of kirby's most iconic moves in smash bros kirby levels often spell out different words lightly related to the games with canvas curses levels spelling out rainbow kirby's adventure features the first appearance of mennonite but he wasn't named that in that game speaking of meta knight early concept art shown with this armor which is undoubtedly cooler but the complex nature makes him understandably cut apparently level 5 and dreamland 2 resembles a naked woman i don't know if that seems like a stretch but people love claiming that this is so here it is kirby's superstar's original title was kirby of the stars active there's an entire metroid mission in dreamland 3 about defeating metroid which is given to the player by samus kirby's canvas curse is currently the highest rated kirby game on metacritic which is weird considering that it's arguably the most untraditional mainline kirby kirby's caguaro mission was originally a concept for a kirby horror game this was obviously cancelled however apparently it would have been about kirby's mouth sealed shut from a curse which is actually kind of interesting for kirby's 20th anniversary a group of 536 kirby fans assembled in seattle for pax prime in 2012 to claim the guinness world record for blowing bubble gum which required the group to hold the bubbles for over 30 seconds nintendo organized the event and even printed kirby themed instructions on how to correctly chew and blow bubble gum kirby is often happy in the japanese box art but mad in the u.s box art this comes down to nintendo of america's marketing kirby star allies is the first kirby game to have a happy kirby on the north american box art since kirby and the rainbow curse this was also the case in curbing the forgotten lands box art kirby's flying and hovering abilities were introduced to the game in order to differentiate the game from other platformers at that time and give it an easier learning curve kirby has always been known for being a short character especially when comparing him to other characters that show up in smash but canonically in his own games he's even shorter coming in at a mere eight inches tall kirby shares the same voice actress as ness kirby's dreamland was originally without an actual keyboard instead series creator masahiro sakurai used a twin famicon which used a trackball to control an on-screen keyboard did you know kirby's first 3d appearance was in the game that wasn't even his own that would be smash 64 as kirby 64 the crystal shards only came out about 14 months after that the massive smash bros stage the great cave offensive was actually taken originally from kirby superstar where it was a sub game in it you explore a massive cave and collect valuable treasure along the way kirby's entire smash moveset is compiled of copy abilities from his respective games however in the amazing mirror it became a power-up in it of itself called smash you can get said smash power up by inhaling master hand which appears as a mini boss in the amazing mirror kirby's hat design while using the yoyo copy ability is very similar to ness's kirby's epic yarn wasn't originally a kirby game instead the main character was prince fluff however nintendo felt that this concept won't do well so instead they transformed it into a kirby game in which kirby fit seamlessly kirby planet robobot was originally titled kirby triple deluxe ii however when the idea of robobot armor came up they completely changed the direction of the game and the rest was history planet robobot was also the first 3d mario game to show meta knight without his mask planet robobot was the first kirby game to have the complete original soundtrack available outside of japan club nintendo discontinued on july 1st 2015 just months after kirby and the rainbow curse release because of this rainbow curse is the first kirby game not to come with a club nintendo pin code since the program started in 2003 rainbow curse is one of the few wii u games to actually feature 60 fps gameplay but purposely slows down character animations to capture the look of claymation during both cutscenes and gameplay kirby star allies was the first kirby game to be localized in chinese in both traditional and simplified form kirby star allies has the largest voice casted out of any kirby game with a grand total of 10 voice actors it was also the first kirby game to see a worldwide release on the same day smash bros brawl essentially joined kirby's air ride menu despite a cult following kirby's air ride has never released a permanent digital download kirby's epic yarn takes up to 31 blocks of louise memory kirby's epic yarn also takes as many sound effects from the wii title warriorland shake it the time between releases of kirby squeak squad and kirby's epic yarn marked the longest duration without a entirely new kirby game in north america since the beginning of the series apparently a stage on kirby's epic yarn was originally planned for super smash brothers wii u however after the announcement of yoshi's woolly world the yarn aesthetic was used for yoshi's stage and kirby stage was retooled into the great cave offensive if the player shakes the wii remote right before the opening video plays in kirby return to dreamland a different kirby appears during the opening cinematic on the title screen box boy also made by hal was originally planned to have kirby as the protagonist but it was shifted over to boxboy when the game director decided kirby extruding boxes from him would look too weird issue 39 of nintendo power states that wispy woods is also known as the larkspur liar but nobody really uses this otherwise kirby's pinball land is the only kirby game to use an engine from another nintendo game this being pokemon pinball speaking of pinball the gator enemy in kirby superstar is modeled after the gators from revenge of the gator a pinball game released by hal laboratory in 1989. this is kibi this is yellow curvy supposedly they are completely different characters sakurai's favorite kirby copy abilities are hand-to-hand abilities like fighter and suplex kirby slide kirby's toy box and kirby star stacker are the only games in the kirby series to not feature any female characters in the japanese version of kirby's dreamland 3 boss butch's title screen has the phrase nintendo 16 written across the top this is a nintendo 64 reference altered to fit to the 16-bit super famicom when kirby nightmare and dreamland is turned on exactly 120 kirby's rush across the screen the acronym for kirby right back at you spells kirby's name obviously minus the i kirby squeak squad was originally the first kirby game to be released in korea one of the unused elements in kirby mass attack is a palette selection screen where the player would have been able to change colors at the kirby in a behind-the-scenes miiverse post director shinya kumizaki mentions that the sun stone items in kirby triple deluxe contain the power of sunlight and that a character who dislikes the sun may have turned the light into gems in an effort to rob gloria of its light there are over 300 rooms in kirby triple deluxe kirby triple deluxe also has the longest 100 speed run out of any kirby game the top run was finished at a time of 6 hours and 34 minutes and 42 seconds on december 1st 2018. the esp copy abilities in planet robobot appear as a reference to ness kirby family was a cancelled game boy color game that when combined to a jaguar's sewing machine produced kirby themed embroidery patterns kirby family is also the only canceled kirby game to have its full rum leaked online kirby star allies is the most heavily censored kirby game to this date due to religion being one of the main themes a fifth root variety grapes was intended to appear in kirby mass attack it was scrapped volcano valley from kirby mass attack originally has a pinkish purple hue and sports lanterns with green flames during kirby's return to dreamland's development the creative team considered calling the game kirby wii super friend in a reference to the game's super abilities and four player co-op no one truly knows kirby's age in the japanese version of kirby superstar there's a mado sign in the credits of the milky way wishes level this was removed in international releases due to nintendo of america's regulations on japanese culture kirby's tilt and tumble's cartridge is the only game boy color game that has the notch that allows it to fit inside an original game boy system it will even
