Brawl in the Family/Characters: Difference between revisions

Tropes pertaining to the [[Loads and Loads of Characters|many]] Nintendo characters (and others) as they appear in ''Brawl in the Family''.

A happy, adventurous, and voracious little puffball from [[Kirby|the game series of the same name]]. Sort of the unofficial protagonist of the comic. He sees just about every other character as his friend or snack.

* [[Visual Pun]]: He ate a Gordo and now he's ''[[Gratuitous Spanish|gordo]]''. Meta Knight lampshades it before it even happens.

The self-proclaimed ruler of Dreamland and Kirby's rival. He always wants to "get" or otherwise inconvenience Kirby or someone else. This rarely works for him.

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: Seems to have a Type 2 relationship with Meta Knight. Also with Kirby, but Kirby treats him as a regular friend rather than this.

A mysterious figure with a mask and a cape who tries to keep to himself whenever he's not harassed by his friends. Or rather people who think of him as one of their friends.

* [[The Un-Reveal]]: When he removes his mask. {{spoiler|Up until the Cocoon Academy arc, that is.}}

Kirby's female and human companion from ''Kirby 64''. She likes to paint and hang out with Kirby and the others, and is one of the few who almost completely tolerates King Dedede.

* [[Wide-Eyed Idealist]]: Her optimism is how she's able to consider Dedede a friend, despite actually being aware of his tendencies (unlike Kirby, who's just oblivious).

King Dedede's loyal servant, based on the Waddle Dee with a bandanna in ''Kirby Superstar Ultra''.

* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: {{spoiler|Gave Meta Knight evidence during the Turnabout Kirby arc against Dedede; he did it out of revenge when he was used to pull a sleigh.}}

The hero of the Mushroom Kingdom, but with a bit of ego and a whole lot of [[Fridge Logic]] for his surroundings. Likely the character who gets the most attention in the comic, outside of the ''[[Kirby]]'' cast.

* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: When he got the bright idea to {{spoiler|spin Bowser as he breathes fire in order to kill more Dark Matter, winning Peach's affection. And Eario's affection}}. Then he took another level as an old man to defeat Bowser {{spoiler|Junior}}.

The brother of Mario who is equally Italian and good at jumping, but greener, thinner, taller, and less focused on.

* [[Irony]]: See Mario's entry.

Mario's arch nemesis, the giant King of the Koopas frequently kidnaps Princess Peach and subsequently has Mario hand his shell to him on a platter.

* {{spoiler|[[The Man Behind the Man]]}}: In the ''Mushroom Kingdom Carol'' arc.

A Pokemon who loves to sing, even though it puts people to sleep. She can be told apart from the average Jigglypuff by the flower in her hair. Kirby has a relationship with her.

* [[Satellite Character]]: She usually only appears because there needs to be a comic about her and Kirby showing affection for one another. She hasn't appeared otherwise.

Donkey Kong's nephew and little buddy. He's one of Kirby's best friends and also his lawyer.

* [[Silent Snarker]]: In the Turnabout Kirby arc, he has a hilariously deadpan expression on his face when the judge asks if he has anything to say. The judge apparently completely understands him.

Link is the main character of ''[[The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, and is usually in his ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' incarnation (the adult version). He never speaks, but his facial expressions and Navi get the job done on that front.

* [[Slasher Smile]]: Pulls off a really effective one when he's about to shut Navi up by {{spoiler|eating her}}.

A racer from the ''[[F-Zero]]'' series of games. Based off his portrayal in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', with the same tendency to announce his last name and whatever attack he's doing. [[Up to Eleven|Or any verb he's doing]], for that matter.

* [[With Catlike Tread]]: "FALCON SNEAK!"

The hero[[Samus Is a Girl|(ine)]] of the ''[[Metroid]]'' games.

* [[Samus Is a Girl]]: Despite being the trope namer, it's actually averted here. She's seen out of her Power Suit frequently.

The star of the [[Kid Icarus]] series. Made a few appearances in early comics, but the release of ''[[Kid Icarus: Uprising]]'' has boosted his role to a main character. When he’s not taking advantage of opportunities for adventure and challenge–he does love testing that Intensity Cauldron–he spends his free time kicking back and shooting the breeze with Lady Palutena.  

* [[Good Wings, Evil Wings]]: Good, of course.

Waluigi is a character from the ''Mario'' game spin-offs... only his BitF incarnation is far stranger.

* [[Third Person Person]]

A janitor who cleans up the levels in the Mushroom Kingdom after Mario goes through them. He has a history of cleaning and being randomly attacked by the scenery. He worships Mario.

* [[Stalker with a Crush]]: To Mario, kind of.

A penguin who looks like Dedede and cleans clocks and teeth.

* [[Paper-Thin Disguise]]: Subverted.

* [[Accidental Murder]]

* [[Apocalypse How]]: Ends the world by getting up close and friendly.

* [[Man Child]]

* [[Butt Monkey]]: Very much. Also literally. [[Don't Explain the Joke|His butt is his most prominent feature.]]

* [[Crossover Ship]]: Tries to hit on Samus, but ends up getting a Falcon Punch. {{spoiler|From ''both'' bounty hunters}}.

* [[Smoking Is Cool]]: Deconstructed, {{spoiler|his box catches on fire and the guards spot him}}.

* [[Odd Friendship]]: With Waluigi.

* [[Only Sane Man]]: She's one of the more normal characters.

The author and artist himself, inserted into his own comics. Seems to only appear in the occasional announcement comic.
