Background[]

Kirby is a warrior destined for greatness. He came to Dream Land during a Spring Breeze, where he saved Dream Land from the selfish King Dedede. The people of Dream Land thank him by building him a dome-shaped house. Kirby soon became a regular denizen of Dream Land and constantly saves Dream Land from the gluttonous Dedede, Dark Matter, or a cosmic villain.

Defeated Fecto Elfilis, the Ultimate Life-Form in the Kirby series, by running F.E. over as Truck Kirby.

Weaknesses[]

Very Impulse-Driven: Kirby has shown to act on impulse on multiple occasions, and it's more or less a double-edged sword. An example of this is 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 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.
If he gets hit hard enough then he can lose his Copy Ability.

Fun Facts[]

It is speculated that Kirby's name is named after a vacuum product, Kirby. It's no surprise that a vacuum Kirby and Kirby himself can suck things up.
- Not only that, but it is also speculated he is named after a lawyer called 'John Kirby'. The same lawyer that stopped the case Nintendo's copyright claim of Donkey Kong and King Kong.
Kirby was originally going to be named PoPoPo. This was referenced in Kirby Mass Attack, where there's a place named PoPoPo Islands.
Kirby was originally white on the Gameboy game cover-arts, because the developers were unsure of what color to make Kirby, due to the Gameboy being black-and-white.
Kirby appeared in the second season of the popular web series DEATH BATTLE! where he fought against Majin Buu and won.
