href="/wiki/Nintendo" title="Nintendo">Nintendo</a>. The series centers around the adventures of <a href="/wiki/Kirby_(character)" title="Kirby (character)">Kirby</a> as he fights to protect and save his home on the distant Planet Popstar from a variety of threats. The majority of the games in the series are <a href="/wiki/Side-scrolling_video_game" title="Side-scrolling video game">side-scrolling</a> platformers with <a href="/wiki/Puzzle_video_game" title="Puzzle video game">puzzle-solving</a> and <a href="/wiki/Beat_%27em_up" title="Beat 'em up">beat 'em up</a> elements. Kirby has the ability to inhale enemies and objects into his mouth, spitting them out as a projectile or eating them. If he inhales certain enemies, he can gain the powers or properties of that enemy manifesting as a new weapon or power-up called a <a href="/wiki/Copy_Ability" class="mw-redirect" title="Copy Ability">Copy Ability</a>. The series is intended to be easy to pick up and play even for people unfamiliar with action games, while at the same time offering additional challenge and depth for more experienced players to come back to. The Kirby series includes <a href="/wiki/List_of_Kirby_games" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Kirby games">39 games</a>, and has sold over 40 million units worldwide, making it one of Nintendo's best-selling franchises<a href="#cite_note-2">[1]</a> and making it the 53rd <a href="/wiki/List_of_best-selling_video_game_franchises#At_least_20_million_copies" title="List of best-selling video game franchises">best-selling video game franchise</a> of all time. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Gameplay">Gameplay</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kirby_(series)&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Gameplay">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Kirby_gets_an_ability_(videogame_gameplay).png" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Kirby_gets_an_ability_%28videogame_gameplay%29.png/220px-Kirby_gets_an_ability_%28videogame_gameplay%29.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="210" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/6/60/Kirby_gets_an_ability_%28videogame_gameplay%29.png/330px-Kirby_gets_an_ability_%28videogame_gameplay%29.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/60/Kirby_gets_an_ability_%28videogame_gameplay%29.png 2x" data-file-width="414" data-file-height="396" /></a><figcaption>Kirby can gain the properties of enemies or objects he eats– for example, by inhaling a sword-wielding foe, Kirby gains the Sword ability.</figcaption></figure> The main Kirby games are side-scrolling action platforms. As <a href="/wiki/Kirby_(character)" title="Kirby (character)">Kirby</a>, the spherical pink protagonist, the player must run, jump, and attack enemies while traversing a number of areas, solving puzzles, and battling bosses along the way. Kirby possesses the ability to inhale objects and enemies, even those larger than himself, which he can spit out as a projectile or swallow. Some of these, when swallowed, will grant Kirby a <a href="/wiki/Kirby_(character)#Abilities" title="Kirby (character)">Copy Ability</a>, which allows him to take on a characteristic of that enemy and use it in combat. For example, upon swallowing an enemy that breathes fire, Kirby becomes able to breathe fire. Kirby can also take in air to inflate himself and fly. In most games, he can do this for as long as he wants, but his attack options become limited. Kirby games often contain a number of hidden items that unlock more parts of the game or are simple incentives to collect, and are usually required to reach 100% in-game completion. These special items are usually related to the plot of the game, most often used to create a special weapon needed to defeat the final boss. In some games, the special weapon is optional and can be used regularly in the game after defeating the final boss with it. These elements have remained constant in most series, with each game having its own unique twist to affect gameplay. Each game features uniquely-named areas such as flaming mountains, open grasslands, water-filled or submerged areas, frozen snowfields, and similar natural locations. There are also several spin-off games in the series, which involve a variety of different video game genres such as pinball, puzzle, racing, and motion-sensor-technology-based games. A number of these spin-off titles take advantage of Kirby's ball-shaped figure. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Plot">Plot</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kirby_(series)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Plot">edit</a>]</div> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Characters">Characters</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kirby_(series)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Characters">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/List_of_Kirby_characters" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Kirby characters">List of Kirby characters</a></div> The series' main protagonist is <a href="/wiki/Kirby_(character)" title="Kirby (character)">Kirby</a>, who resides in the kingdom of Dream Land on a five-point-star-shaped planet called Popstar. Much of Dream Land is peaceful, and its people lead laid-back, carefree lives. However, when the peace in Dream Land is shattered by threats both terrestrial and alien, it is up to Kirby to save his home and those who reside there. Besides Kirby, <a href="/wiki/List_of_Kirby_characters" class="mw-redirect" title="List of Kirby characters">many characters</a> appear throughout the series as both allies and enemies, such as <a href="/wiki/King_Dedede" class="mw-redirect" title="King Dedede">King Dedede</a>, a gluttonous bird resembling a blue penguin and self-proclaimed ruler of Dream Land. King Dedede has appeared in all Kirby games except <a href="/wiki/Kirby_%26_the_Amazing_Mirror" title="Kirby & the Amazing Mirror">Kirby & the Amazing Mirror</a>. King Dedede's selfish nature or greater forces controlling him often lead him to clash with Kirby, but he mostly teams up with Kirby when a greater threat emerges, that isn't controlling him. Another major character in the series is the enigmatic <a href="/wiki/Meta_Knight" title="Meta Knight">Meta Knight</a>, a chivalrous masked creature similar in size and shape to Kirby who one day wishes to fight the strongest warrior in the galaxy and leads a group of like-minded warriors. Whenever he and Kirby fight, he will almost always offer Kirby a sword in advance so that the fight is fair. While his unmasked face resembles Kirby's, his exact relationship with Kirby remains a mystery. Popstar is home to a number of common creatures, the most notable of which are called <a href="/wiki/Waddle_Dee" class="mw-redirect" title="Waddle Dee">Waddle Dees</a>. They appear in some capacity in every Kirby game and are usually passive or aggressive towards the player, with some exceptions, such as in <a href="/wiki/Kirby_and_the_Forgotten_Land" title="Kirby

original <a href="/wiki/Game_Boy" title="Game Boy">Game Boy</a>, was released in Japan on April 27, 1992, and later in North America, Europe and Australasia in August that year. A simple game, consisting of five levels, it introduced Kirby's ability to inhale enemies and objects, but not yet able to use Copy Abilities. The game contains an unlockable hard mode, known as the "Extra Game", which features stronger enemies and more difficult bosses. The North American box art showed a white Kirby, although the Japanese box art had the correct pink coloring.<a href="#cite_note-6">[5]</a> Originally, <a href="/wiki/Shigeru_Miyamoto" title="Shigeru Miyamoto">Shigeru Miyamoto</a> suggested Kirby should be yellow.<a href="#cite_note-7">[6]</a> The second game, <a href="/wiki/Kirby%27s_Adventure" title="Kirby's Adventure">Kirby's Adventure</a>, was released in Japan on March 23, 1993, in North America on May 1, 1993, and Europe on September 12, 1993. Kirby's Adventure gave Kirby the ability to gain special powers when he ate certain enemies, called Copy Abilities; the game contained a total of 25 different ones to use. These powers replaced Kirby's inhale and could be used until Kirby sustained damage causing him to drop the ability, or the player voluntarily discarded it to obtain another one. This game sets Kirby's core color as firmly pink, which was also translated to the North American box art. As one of the 1st party last games created for the <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Entertainment_System" title="Nintendo Entertainment System">Nintendo Entertainment System</a>, Kirby's Adventure featured advanced graphics and sound that pushed the hardware's capabilities to the limit, including pseudo 3D effects on some stages.<a href="#cite_note-8">[7]</a> After Kirby's Adventure, the Kirby series received a number of spin-off games. <a href="/wiki/Kirby%27s_Pinball_Land" title="Kirby's Pinball Land">Kirby's Pinball Land</a>, released in November 1993 for the Game Boy, is a pinball game featuring Kirby as the pinball. <a href="/wiki/Kirby%27s_Dream_Course" title="Kirby's Dream Course">Kirby's Dream Course</a>, released in Japan on September 21, 1994, North America on February 1, 1995, and Europe on August 24, 1995, for the <a href="/wiki/Super_Nintendo_Entertainment_System" title="Super Nintendo Entertainment System">Super Nintendo Entertainment System</a>, is a <a href="/wiki/Golf" title="Golf">golf</a>-based game which features an isometric graphic design. <a href="/wiki/Kirby%27s_Avalanche" title="Kirby's Avalanche">Kirby's Avalanche</a>, released in Europe on February 1, 1995, and in North America on April 25, 1995, also for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, is a puzzle game, a westernized version of the Japanese game <a href="/wiki/Puyo_Puyo" title="Puyo Puyo">Puyo Puyo</a>. <a href="/wiki/Kirby%27s_Dream_Land_2" title="Kirby's Dream Land 2">Kirby's Dream Land 2</a>, released in Japan on March 21, 1995, in North America on May 1, 1995, in Europe on July 31, 1995, and Australasia on November 22, 1995, for the Game Boy, brought the Copy Abilities from Kirby's Adventure to a handheld system, but due to system limitations lowered the number of abilities to seven. The game introduced three rideable animal companions: <a href="/wiki/Characters_of_the_Kirby_series#Animal_Friends" title="Characters of the Kirby series">Rick</a> the hamster, <a href="/wiki/Characters_of_the_Kirby_series#Animal_Friends" title="Characters of the Kirby series">Coo</a> the owl, and <a href="/wiki/Characters_of_the_Kirby_series#Animal_Friends" title="Characters of the Kirby series">Kine</a> the ocean sunfish. Pairing up with any of these three alters how Kirby's abilities work. It also introduced Dark Matter, a reoccurring antagonist in the Kirby series. Kirby's Dream Land 2 was the first game in the series to be directed by Shinichi Shimomura instead of Masahiro Sakurai.<a href="#cite_note-9">[8]</a> Shimomura would go on to direct Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land. <a href="/wiki/Kirby%27s_Block_Ball" title="Kirby's Block Ball">Kirby's Block Ball</a>, released for the Game Boy on December 14, 1995, in Japan, on March 13, 1996, in North America and on August 29, 1996, in Europe, is a variation of the game <a href="/wiki/Breakout_(video_game)" title="Breakout (video game)">Breakout</a>, featuring multiple levels, some of Kirby's Copy Abilities, and various enemies in unique boss battles. In 1996, a Kirby minigame series, Kirby's Toy Box,<a href="#cite_note-10">[b]</a> was released via the <a href="/wiki/St.GIGA" title="St.GIGA">St.GIGA</a> satellite broadcasting system for the <a href="/wiki/Satellaview" title="Satellaview">Satellaview</a>.

Kirby Super Star is composed of seven separate games and two <a href="/wiki/Minigame" title="Minigame">sub-games</a>, with four games in the beginning and three games would be unlocked after beating certain games. It features several characters and abilities which have not appeared since in the series. The game features "Helpers", which can be created by sacrificing the ability in use, to help the player dispatch enemies. Released for the Game Boy in 1997, <a href="/wiki/Kirby%27s_Star_Stacker" title="Kirby's Star Stacker">Kirby's Star Stacker</a> is a puzzle game which involves touching two or more similar blocks together that have Kirby's animal friends on them.

Similar to Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby's Dream Land 3 features a few Copy Abilities which were modified when Kirby paired up with one of his six animal friends. The game had a multiplayer option with the second player controlling Gooey, a recurring character. The antagonist is Dark Matter, and if certain conditions are met, Zero was fought as the true final boss. The game had a unique pastel-drawing art style and used dithering to improve visual performance.<a href="#cite_note-12">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-13">[11]</a> There was also a planned game called Kid Kirby that was to be released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.<a href="#cite_note-14">[12]</a> The game would have served as a prequel to the series and would have utilized the <a href="/wiki/Super_NES_Mouse" title="Super NES Mouse">SNES Mouse</a>.

The game features a compound ability system that allows two of the seven abilities in the game to be combined, making a new compound ability. It also marked the first playable instance of King Dedede, where sections of some stages had Kirby riding piggyback while King Dedede attacked enemies and obstacles with his hammer. A Waddle Dee is also playable, by helping Kirby with certain sections in the game. It is considered a direct follow-up to Kirby's Dream Land 3 due to the reemergence of Dark Matter and the final boss, albeit in a different form, called 02 (Zero Two). It also included three four-player minigames. The next game in the Kirby series, <a href="/wiki/Kirby_Tilt_%27n%27_Tumble" title="Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble">Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble</a> became one of Nintendo's first motion-sensor-based games on August 23, 2000. Players are instructed to tilt the <a href="/wiki/Game_Boy_Color" title="Game Boy Color">Game Boy Color</a> to move Kirby on the screen. Quickly flicking the Game Boy Color upwards would make Kirby jump into the air. Tilt 'n' Tumble is the only Kirby game to have a special cartridge color (transparent pink) in North America.

Kirby Family was a Game Boy Color piece of software developed by <a href="/wiki/Natsume_Co.,_Ltd." class="mw-redirect" title="Natsume Co., Ltd.">Natsume Co., Ltd.</a> that would connect to a compatible Jaguar JN-100 or JN-2000 sewing machine and embroider cloth with a Kirby pattern of choice. The game was also shown during Nintendo Space World 2001 and scheduled for release on September 10, 2001, but presumably canceled due to poor sales of Mario Family which released two weeks prior. The game was leaked on September 9, 2020, as part of the <a href="/wiki/2020-2021_Nintendo_data_leak" class="mw-redirect" title="2020-2021 Nintendo data leak">Game Boy Color lotcheck leak</a>.<a href="#cite_note-16">[14]</a> Kirby's Air Ride 64 (also known as Kirby Bowl 64 and Kirby Ball 64) on the Nintendo 64 was going to be a sequel to Kirby's Dream Course which featured an additional game mode where the player controlled Kirby on a snowboard. However, this was canceled for unknown reasons.<a href="#cite_note-17">[15]</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[16]</a> Some of its concepts were later implemented into the only Kirby game for the GameCube, <a href="/wiki/Kirby_Air_Ride" title="Kirby Air Ride">Kirby Air Ride</a>, which was released in North America on October 13, 2003. Air Ride is a racing game which deviates greatly from other Kirby games, although still featuring series staples including enemies and Copy Abilities. After the release of Kirby Air Ride, the GameCube was going to have its own original Kirby game, simply titled Kirby for Nintendo GameCube at the time. It was nearly complete and featured at <a href="/wiki/E3_2005" class="mw-redirect" title="E3 2005">E3 2005</a>, but was canceled due to troubles incorporating a unique multiplayer mechanic. At a later point, the game was concepted as a full 3D platformer visually similar to Kirby Air Ride, but also canceled because it did not achieve HAL Laboratory's quality standards.<a href="#cite_note-19">[17]</a> In late 2002, Nintendo released <a href="/wiki/Kirby:_Nightmare_in_Dream_Land" class="mw-redirect" title="Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land">Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land</a>, an enhanced <a href="/wiki/Video_game_remake" title="Video game remake">remake</a> of Kirby's Adventure for the <a href="/wiki/Game_Boy_Advance" title="Game Boy Advance">Game Boy Advance</a> (GBA)<a href="#cite_note-20">[18]</a> featuring updated graphics and sound, multiplayer support, and a new mode starring one of the game's bosses, Meta Knight. During the 2003 Holiday season, a Kirby <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_e-Reader" title="Nintendo e-Reader">e-Reader card</a> for the Game Boy Advance was released. The card was released under two names, Kirby Slide and Kirby Puzzle. Swiping the card would allow for a sliding puzzle game starring Kirby to be played. Cards were given out at <a href="/wiki/Toys_%22R%22_Us" title="Toys "R" Us">Toys "R" Us</a> stores and in the 2003 December issues of <a href="/wiki/Nintendo_Power" title="Nintendo Power">Nintendo Power</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tips_%26_Tricks_(magazine)" class="mw-redirect" title="Tips & Tricks (magazine)">Tips & Tricks</a>. The game was released to advertise the English dub of <a href="/wiki/Kirby:_Right_Back_at_Ya!" title="Kirby: Right Back at Ya!">Kirby: Right Back at Ya!</a>.

Instead, Kirby is a helpless ball, and can only move when he gains momentum, the player painting paths with the stylus to direct his movement. This was followed by <a href="/wiki/Kirby:_Squeak_Squad" title="Kirby: Squeak Squad">Kirby: Squeak Squad</a> (titled Kirby: Mouse Attack in Europe) in late 2006, also on the Nintendo DS, which revived traditional Kirby gameplay and dabbled in the use of the touch screen to store several items and Copy Abilities in Kirby's stomach.

An unlockable Copy Ability was also introduced. <a href="/wiki/Kirby_Super_Star_Ultra" title="Kirby Super Star Ultra">Kirby Super Star Ultra</a>, announced for the Nintendo DS in early fall 2007<a href="#cite_note-22">[20]</a> and released on September 22, 2008<a href="#cite_note-23">[21]</a> in North America, is a remake of Kirby Super Star.

It was produced by Warpstar, Inc., a company formed from a joint investment between Nintendo and HAL Laboratory, Inc. It was licensed in North America by <a href="/wiki/4Kids_Entertainment" title="4Kids Entertainment">4Kids Entertainment</a>, under the title Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, on <a href="/wiki/4Kids_TV" title="4Kids TV">4Kids TV</a>, with VHS and DVD distribution in North America by <a href="/wiki/FUNimation_Entertainment" class="mw-redirect" title="FUNimation Entertainment">FUNimation Entertainment</a> and DVD distribution in Australia by <a href="/wiki/Magna_Pacific" class="mw-redirect" title="Magna Pacific">Magna Pacific</a>. It ended in Japan in 2003 with 100 episodes. The show is about the adventures Kirby has with his friends Tiff<a href="#cite_note-83">[c]</a> and Tuff<a href="#cite_note-84">[d]</a> after he crash lands in Dream Land (this is known as "Pupu Village" in the Japanese version and "Cappy Town" in the English dub), on Planet Popstar. Here, he is a legendary Star Warrior destined to save the universe from the intergalactic conqueror known as Nightmare. However, because he was awakened 200 years too early he arrived in a childlike state and his powers haven't fully developed. The ruler of Dream Land, King Dedede, is jealous of the attention Kirby receives from its inhabitants and frequently orders monsters from Nightmare's company, Nightmare Enterprises, in an attempt to do away with Kirby. Nightmare Enterprises at first appears to be an intergalactic delivery company, but is really a front for Nightmare's intergalactic conquest that dupes unsuspecting customers into funding Nightmare's armies. Not yet ready to achieve his destiny, Kirby must learn how to use his incredible abilities with the help of his friends, and sometimes with the help of the enigmatic Meta Knight, who, while claiming to be loyal to King Dedede, will often work behind the scenes in order to aid Kirby or train him in the use of his abilities. The show is based on the game series, but rather than being a direct adaptation of any of the games it uses characters and concepts from the games (especially Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Adventure, and Kirby Super Star) to tell its own story. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Comics,_manga_and_novels">Comics, manga and novels</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Kirby_(series)&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: Comics, manga and novels">edit</a>]</div> Kirby stars in several <a href="/wiki/Manga" title="Manga">manga</a> series that have been drawn by over 20 <a href="/wiki/Manga_artist" title="Manga artist">manga artists</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:1-85">[81]</a> The longest running Kirby manga, <a href="/wiki/Kirby_of_the_Stars:_The_Story_of_Dedede_Who_Lives_in_Pupupu" title="Kirby of the Stars: The Story of Dedede Who Lives in Pupupu">Kirby of the Stars: The Story of Dedede Who Lives in Pupupu</a>, was serialized in <a href="/wiki/CoroCoro_Comic" title="CoroCoro Comic">CoroCoro Comic</a> from 1994 to 2006, and released 25 <a href="/wiki/Tank%C5%8Dbon" title="Tankōbon">tankōbon</a> volumes with over 10 million copies being printed.
