SO ONE SOME OF YOU HAVE EXPRESSED CONFUSION OR OTHERWISE LACK OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT DAT DERE KIRBY.
I HAVE COMPRISED AN ALLCAPS PRIMER FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO MUST KNOW,
WHO THE FUCK IS KIRBY?
THIS CUTE LI'L FUCKER RIGHT HERE.
HE IS THE MAIN CHARACTER OF A VIDEO GAME FRANCHISE BELONGING TO NINTENDO (THE COMPANY THAT, IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW THIS BY NOW, ALSO OWNS THE SUPER MARIO BROS. SERIES, THE POKEMANS SERIES, AND THAT SEIRES FEATURING THE POINTY-EARED SWORD WIELDING FUCKER), AND THE STAR OF THE ANIME HOSHI NO KAABII, KNOWN AS KIRBY: RIGHT BACK AT YA! IN THE STATES. KIRBY WAS CREATED IN THE EARLY 1990'S BY MASAHIRO SAKURAI (ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR SMASH BROS) FOR NINTENDO SUBSIDARY, HAL LABORATORY (NAMED AFTER THAT HAL). HE IS VOICED BY MAKIKO OHMOTO (AND SOUNDS LIKE THIS).
KIRBY IS KNOWN FOR HIS ABILITY TO INHALE HIS ENEMIES AND COPY THEIR ABILITIES. THE ABILITIES HE GAINS FROM HIS ENEMIES ARE CALLED "COPY ABILITIES". THEY ARE LEGION, AND MANY OF THEM ARE AWESOME (MOTHERFUCKIN NINJA, MAN). HE CAN ALSO FLOAT IN THE AIR, THUS DEFYING THE BOTTOMLESS PITS THAT ARE REQUIRED IN ALL PLATFORMING GAMES.
KIRBY RESIDES IN THE KINGDOM OF DREAM LAND ON THE PLANET POP STAR. OTHER FAMOUS RESIDENTS OF DREAM LAND/POP STAR INCLUDE:
KING DEDEDE, KIRBY'S ARCH RIVAL/BRONEMIE. KING DEDEDE HAS BEEN IN THE SERIES SINCE THE BEGINNING, THOUGH HE IS NOT ALWAYS THE VILLAIN. HE PROCLAIMS TO BE THE KING OF DREAM LAND DESPITE HAVING NO REAL CLAIM TO THE THRONE. DEDEDE IS MORE PREOCCUPIED WITH EATING THE FOODS THAN HE IS IN RULING ANYTHING, ALTHOUGH SOMETIMES HE DOES TRY TO PROTECT DREAM LAND (AS IN KIRBY'S ADVENTURE, WHEREIN HE ATTEMPTED TO PREVENT THE GAME'S BIG BAD FROM INFECTING THE FOUNTAIN OF DREAMS).
META-KNIGHT, A ROGUE AGENT WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE EVIL, NOBODY FUCKING KNOWS. HE FIRST APPEARED IN KIRBY'S ADVENTURE AND HAS BEEN A MAJOR PLAYER EVER SINCE. HE OWNS HIS OWN AIRSHIP, THE BATTLESHIP HALBERD, WHICH FREQUENTLY GETS DESTROYED.
KIRBY'S GAMES ARE PRIMARILY PLATFORMERS, WITH A FEW SPIN-OFFS HERE AND THERE. HIS FIRST GAME, KIRBY'S DREAM LAND, WAS RELEASED IN 1992 FOR THE GAME BOY. MOST OF HIS GAMES ARE FOR HANDHELD CONSOLES, AND TEND TO BE RELEASED LATE IN A CONSOLE'S LIFE.
EARLY KIRBY PLATFORMERS WERE DIVIDED BY THOSE DIRECTED BY SAKURAI, AND THOSE DIRECTED BY SHINICHI SHIMOMURA. SAKURAI'S GAMES (KIRBY'S ADVENTURE FOR THE NES, KIRBY SUPER STAR FOR THE SNES) DEPENDED HEAVILY ON ON BEATING THE CRAP OUT OF THINGS WITH KIRBY'S GIVEN ABILITIES AND HAD NO CONCEPT OF CONTINUITY. SHIMOMURA'S (THE SO-CALLED "DARK MATTER TRILOGY" OF KIRBY'S DREAM LAND 2 FOR THE GAME BOY, KIRBY'S DREAM LAND 3 FOR THE SNES, AND KIRBY 64: THE CRYSTAL SHARDS FOR...JUST GUESS) GAMES WERE PUZZLE HEAVY AND FEATURED A RECURRING CAST OF CHARACTERS, USUALLY KIRBY'S ANIMAL FRIENDS (RICK THE HAMSTER, KINE THE FISH, AND COO THE OWL) WHO HELPED KIRBY NAVIGATE THROUGH LEVELS (OR IN RICK'S CASE DIDN'T HELP AT ALL AND IN FACT HAS SULLIED THE NAME OF ALL HAMSTERS BECAUSE OF THAT ONE FUCKING LEVEL IN KDL3). AS NEITHER OF THE MEN WORK ON THE SERIES PRESENTLY, RECENT KIRBY GAMES ARE WHATEVER THE FUCK HAL FEELS LIKE DEVELOPING.
GAMES OF NOTE:
KIRBY'S ADVENTURE FOR THE NES. INTRODUCED COPY ABILITIES AND BAD GUYS WHO ARE NOT DEDEDE. HEAVY ON SECRET ROOMS, ALTHOUGH THESE ARE NOT REQUIRED TO FIGHT THE FINAL BOSS, NIGHTMARE. AVAILABLE ON THE WII AND 3DS VIRTUAL CONSOLE.
KIRBY SUPER STAR FOR THE SNES. CONSIDERED THE ~QUINTESSENTIAL~ KIRBY GAME, IT'S PRETTY MUCH ALL ABOUT THE COPY ABILITIES. THERE ARE NINE GAMES TOTAL HERE: FIVE PLATFORMING GAMES,
ONE RACING GAME (THE INSPIRATION FOR A MAJOR INTERNET MEME), TWO MINI-GAMES, AND ONE BOSS RUSH. THIS IS AVAILABLE ON THE WII VIRTUAL CONSOLE.
KIRBY SUPER STAR ULTRA IS A REMAKE OF KIRBY SUPER STAR FOR THE DS. IT ADDS THREE NEW SUB-GAMES AND THREE NEW MINI-GAMES. THIS GAME IS BEST KNOWN FOR THE TRUE ARENA, A HARDER VERSION OF SUPER STAR'S BOSS RUSH, THE ARENA. THE TRUE ARENA FEATURES THE INFAMOUS FINAL FOUR--UPGRADED VERSIONS OF KING DEDEDE, WHAM BAM ROCK, AND MARX, AS WELL AS THAT FUCKING JACKASS GALACTA KNIGHT, WHO CAN GO RIGHT TO HELL.
KIRBY 64: THE CRYSTAL SHARDS IS THE ONLY KIRBY GAME FOR THE NINTENDO 64, AND THE FIRST KIRBY GAME TO HAVE 3D GRAPHICS (ALTHOUGH IT IS IN 2.5D). IT THE LAST OF THE "DARK MATTER TRILOGY" GAMES AND THE LAST GAME TO FEATURE THE BLOODY EYE-POPPING VILLAIN, ZERO. KIRBY CAN ~COMBINE~ COPY ABILITIES IN THIS GAME, RESULTING IN SOME PRETTY EPIC WEAPONS, LIKE A MOTHERFUCKING TWO-SIDED LIGHT SABER. AS THIS VIDEO SHOWS, IT IS AVAILABLE ON THE WII VIRTUAL CONSOLE.
KIRBY AIR RIDE IS THE ONLY RACING AND GAMECUBE GAME IN THE SERIES. IT FEATURES THREE MODES: AIR RIDE (GENERAL RACING), TOP RIDE (RACING FROM A TOP-DOWN PERSPECTIVE), AND CITY TRIAL (IN WHICH YOU MEANDER AIMLESSLY AROUND THE CITY IN YOUR AIR RIDE MACHINE, COLLECTING ITEMS TO IMPROVE THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR AIR RIDE, AND FINDING THE PARTS OF ~LEGENDARY MACHINES, WHILE INEXPLICABLY HAVING FUN).
KIRBY: CANVAS CURSE FOR THE DS IS ONE OF THE SERIES' MORE INNOVATIVE TITLES, CONTROLLED ENTIRELY BY THE DS STYLUS. ITS BIG BAD, DRAWCIA, HAS ENTERED THE SERIES' CREEPY VILLAIN HALL OF FAME. SHE HAS ALSO HAD A MAJOR INFLUENCE ON A FEW OF RETURN TO DREAM LAND'S BOSSES. CANVAS CURSE'S SPIRITUAL SUCCESSOR IS THIS YEAR'S KIRBY MASS ATTACK.
KIRBY'S EPIC YARN WAS RELEASED LAST YEAR FOR THE WII. AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY NOT A KIRBY TITLE, ITS GAMEPLAY AND VISUALS ARE MAJOR DEPARTURES FROM MORE TRADITIONAL KIRBY TITLES. HOWEVER, IT IS BEST KNOWN AND WILDLY PRAISED FOR ITS REALISTIC, TEXTILE GRAPHICS AND ITS OVER 9,000 DEGREES OF CUTE.
KIRBY'S RETURN TO DREAM LAND, RELEASED THIS YEAR FOR THE WII, IS A RETURN TO TRADITIONAL KIRBY GAMEPLAY--A NOSTALGIA TITLE SIMILAR TO NEW SUPER MARIO BROS. WII. THE GAME FEATURES A FOUR PLAYER CO-OP MODE THAT ALLOWS PLAYERS 2, 3, AND 4 TO PLAY AS SERIES STAPLES KING DEDEDE, META KNIGHT, BANDANNA WADDLE DEE (WHO FIRST APPEARED IN SUPER STAR), OR DIFFERENT COLORED KIRBYS.
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, THIS FIERCE FUCKER RIGHT HERE
IS A FUCKING GENIUS

I'm Ishikawa from HAL Laboratory. I'm in charge of sound, so I make the music and sound effects.
Iwata
Ishikawa-san was central in making the music that everyone is familiar with for the original Kirby game, so you could say he's the original creator of the Kirby sound.
Ishikawa
Yeah.
BETTA RECOGNIZE.
