Aww, what no epic yarn? Cause that was cool and I'm stoked. Can't wait to hear more. (Nintendo is supposed to have some WiiU Kirby game in dev right now)

I've never actually played a Kirby game besides Smash Bros. on the N64.

But he is adorable.

I actually haven't played a Kirby game since Dream Land, but I loved that game as a kid. I played that for hours and hours.

Because of this thread I went and played Kirby Superstar for the first time in probably 15 or 16 years.

It is still amazing. :love:

I enjoyed all of them except KDL3 (which to me was really bland, especially for coming after Super Star) and Epic Yarn. I still haven't played the one for Wii yet but want to. My favorite one is either KDL2 or Super Star Ultra.

Y'know, some people would argue that, but, personally, I think that Super Smash Bros. on the N64 is a Kirby game.

Go play Kirby Super Star (or Super Star Ultra), and you'll see that the gameplay is very similar. And, heck, KSS even introduced Master Hand.

One of my favorite memories was playing Kirby Superstar as a kid with a friend. Actually got it on my WiiU because I love it that much!

I also own most Kirby games, and there have only been a couple that felt underwhelming. Kirby Return to Dreamland for the Wii is very much worth checking out. I think it was a a tad overlooked, but it feel like an older Kirby game, and you can play with four people at the same time!

The amazing mirror was alright. Didn't really like any of the others.

Hey guys, how did they come up with the concept for Kirby? I mean he's obviously awesome and all but how did they come up with the idea for a big pink round thing that sucks stuff up and absorbs their powers?

And then called it Kirby.

Not sure if it has ever been discussed.

Although The Kirby company has been making vacuum cleaners for nearly a hundred years.

As most have said, Kirby Super Star is the best Kirby. I'm not really a fan of his gimmicky titles like Epic Yarn or Canvas Curse. I'd love to see a large-scale game like Super Star for the Wii U.

Very true. Also I tend to refer the lovable bright pink Kirby as a "pink puffball", "marshmallow" or even a "vacuum-cleaner." Personally I loved Wii's Epic Yarn and N64's The Crystal Shard, they are my favorites. I did play a lot of Kirby in my younger days. While Superstar was great I still liked both Epic Yarn and The Crystal Shard. N64's Crystal Shard is the Kirby game used for future Kirby games modern references like Yarn. So I really think if you like SSB64 and Kirby you should try The Crystal Shard.

Kirby's video game series information on Wikipedia.

Finally here is the best part. Kirby or 'Popopo' in Dream Land's Wikipedia. Please read the Development part as this should answer some of your questions about Kirby. :]

iirc Sakurai just had his sprite in as a placeholder when they were developing Dream Land for Game Boy and he was too gosh darned cute to replace.

Smash Bros is not a Kirby game.

The only Kirby game I've ever played was Super Star. It still ticks me off a bit that Gourmet Race isn't 2 player. The game's soundtrack is great.

Smash Bros is essentially Kirby Super Star with non-Kirby characters. The gameplay is nearly identical. Move to walk, double-tap move to dash. Your attacks and abilities change depending on speed and direction, but are primarily controlled with a single button. Kirby Super Star even features Master Hand (or a boss very similar, who even uses several of the same attacks, Wham Bam Rock).
