'''''WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS'''''

== Playable Characters ==

 

 

The eponymous character of the series is a happy looking pink [[Walking Head]] who [[Big Eater|likes to eat]] [[Extreme Omnivore|a lot of things]].

 

{{quote|First appearance: ''Kirby's Dreamland''}}

* [[American Kirby Is Hardcore]]: Nintendo loves to put an angry expression on his face for the American covers and ads of the games.

* [[Badass Adorable]]: The current page picture.

* [[Big Eater]]: ''Egad.''

* [[Black Hole Belly]]: Also the current page picture.

* [[You Are Who You Eat]]: Kirby takes this saying quite literally.

 

 

A friendly little blob of Dark Matter. He's Kirby's best friend. He and Kirby share [[Big Eater|many of]] [[Extreme Omnivore|the same]] [[Mega Manning|hobbies and abilities]].

* [[Prehensile Tongue]]: This is how he snags enemies for [[Mega Manning]].

 

 

The prince of Patch Land. He joins Kirby so he can reunite Patch Land and stop Yin-Yarn.

* [[Whip It Good]]

 

 

 

Tropes associated with all animal friends:

* [[The Smurfette Principle]]

 

 

Suitable for land, Rick is a white and brown-spotted hamster that was one of the first three animal friends. He's described as "friendly and energetic". He doesn't skid on ice, can stand rough terrain, and somehow transforms with Kirby for some attacks.

* [[Wall Crawl]] / [[Wall Jump]] - Rick can't fly, but he can climb walls just as easily as Kirby can fly.

 

 

{{quote|First appearance: ''Kirby's Dreamland 2''}}

* [[Joke Character]]: His statue-[[Expy]] in Kirby 64 is ''completely '''useless'''''. Seriously, the thing can't budge an ''inch'', even when underwater.

 

 

{{quote|First appearance: ''Kirby's Dreamland 2''}}

* [[Video Game Flight]]: His is faster and more stable than Kirby's.

 

 

{{quote|First appearance: ''Kirby's Dreamland 3''}}

* [[Double Jump|Triple Jump]]

 

 

{{quote|First appearance: ''Kirby's Dreamland 3''}}

{{quote|First appearance: ''Kirby's Dreamland 3''}}

== Bosses and Other Antagonists ==

 

{{quote|"'''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|You can't be mean to my Waddle Dees! Only I can be mean to my Waddle Dees!]]'''"}}

 

Hammer-wielding penguin (possibly) and self-proclaimed ruler of Dreamland, though he never really does anything related to administration. Usually ends up as the villain through [[Greed]] or [[Demonic Possession]].

 

{{quote|First appearance: ''Kirby's Dreamland''}}

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Played this part in Kirby's Adventure, as well as the remake Nightmare in Dream Land, where it seems like he was up to standard villainy by stealing the Star Rod from the fountain of dreams, but it is later revealed that he had a very ''good'' reason for doing so, as a horrifically evil entity, aptly named "Nightmare", had contaminated the fountain of dreams.

 

 

A [[Walking Head]] with a mask, bat wings, a sword, and an unknown agenda. His morality is highly ambiguous, but he generally seems to be a [[Hero Antagonist]].

 

{{quote|First appearance: ''Kirby's Adventure''}}

* [[The Rival]]: To Kirby.

* [[24-Hour Armor]]

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]: Especially in Revenge of Meta Knight.

* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Always refuses to fight you until you pick up the sword he offers. [[Power-Up Letdown|Too bad several powers are better]].

** He eventually gets one in form of Galacta Knight (see below).

 

 

A big, sentient tree who tries to attack Kirby & co. by dropping apples and shooting air blasts.

* [[When Trees Attack]]

 

 

A pair of closely-related friends who live at Castle Lololo. Or Float Islands. Or Illusion Islands.

* [[Pink Girl, Blue Boy|Red Girl Blue Boy]]

* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: Aside from colors, the only distinguishing feature between them is a ribbon on Lalala's head.

 

 

An eye in a spiky stormcloud. He attacks mostly with lightning.

* [[Shock and Awe]]

* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: So it's a [[Faceless Eye]] surrounded by a cloud which is itself surrounded by the spikes. Go figure.

 

 

An artist on the go who attacks Kirby by [[Art Initiates Life|drawing enemies]].

* [[Wall Jump]]

 

 

Mr. Shine is the moon, and Mr. Bright is the sun.

* [[Rolling Attack]]: Mr. Bright

 

 

The [[Final Boss]] of Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland.

* [[Sealed Evil in a Can]]

 

 

A huge bird responsible for stealing all of the crops in Dreamland. She was only doing it to feed her babies, though.

* [[Razor Wings]]

 

 

Dark Matter is not any one individual, but a group of black, malevolent clouds, usually with a single red eye and a ring of orange spheres around the back. Their core and controller is [[Big Bad|Zero]].

* [[True Final Boss]]: In ''Kirby's Dreamland 2''.

 

 

A huge, white eye with a red iris. Is capable of creating and controlling Dark Matter. Revived in ''[[Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards|Kirby 64]]'' as Zero-Two, with wings, a halo, and a freaky green tail.

 

Tropes associated with Zero:

* [[Big Bad]]: It has been the final boss for multiple games, and it's implied, if not stated to have connections with others (Drawcia and Dark Nebula).

* [[Bloody Murder]]

* [[Vile Villain Saccharine Show]]: Provides the page picture.

 

 

A friendly-looking [[Walking Head]] who wants Kirby to ask the wish-granting comet Nova to stop the sun and moon's fighting... {{spoiler|except he's actually evil and is [[Unwitting Pawn|just using Kirby as a pawn]] in order to wish for control of Pop Star}}. In Kirby Super Star Ultra, he {{spoiler|reveals a [[Nightmare Fuel]]-riffic new form, Marx Soul}}. Basically a [[Sugar Bowl]] version of {{spoiler|[[Batman|The Joker]]}}.

 

Tropes associated with Marx:

* [[Badass Adorable]]

* {{spoiler|[[Big Bad]]: Of Milky Way Wishes in Kirby Super Star.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Laughing Mad]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Manipulative Bastard]]}}

** On the other hand, Marx looked pretty damn lifeless, just floating there motionlessly, before NOVA was sucked into him. This would mean that Marx Soul is actually a zombie... Which is disturbingly fitting.

* {{spoiler|[[One-Winged Angel]]}}

* [[Purple Eyes]]: ''Not'' mismatched, as commonly depicted in fan art.

 

 

The [[Final Boss]] of Meta Knightmare Ultra in Kirby Super Star Ultra. Galacta Knight is the greatest warrior in the galaxy, but was sealed away for fear that he was too powerful. Meta Knight unseals him in order to [[Badass|kick his ass]].

* [[Storm of Blades]]: One of his attacks in ''Return to Dream Land''.

 

 

The [[Big Bad]] and [[Final Boss]] of Kirby and the Amazing Mirror; was trying to conquer the Mirror World until Kirby defeated it.

* [[Expy]]: Shows a clear resemblance to both Dark Matter and Nightmare.

** Its final form looks like {{spoiler|a flaming version of Zero.}}

* [[Faceless Eye]]: His second form.

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: The actual mind for the last 2 phases of the battle.

* [[Sequential Boss]]: It's fought 4 times in its standard form, then twice as its mind. To date, this is the boss with the highest number of times you're supposed to fight it in the series.

 

 

The [[Big Bad]] and [[Final Boss]] of Kirby: Canvas Curse, she's a [[Wicked Witch]] who wanted a land of paint and carried out her wish by turning Dreamland into a painting. Her true form is that of an unknown painting that she was created from.

* [[Wicked Witch]]: Her high-pitched cackle is more than enough to creep you out.

 

 

 

{{quote|First appearance: ''Kirby: Squeak Squad''}}

** [[The Brute]]: Storo

** [[Evil Genius]]: Doc

* [[Flying Saucer]]: Doc.

* [[Gentleman Thief]]: Daroach, complete with a top hat and a thirst for treasure chests. He lampshades this in some of his hints in ''Mass Attack''.

* [[Third Person Person]]: Daroach, but only briefly in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]''.

 

 

The [[Bigger Bad]] and [[Final Boss]] of Kirby: Squeak Squad. It was sealed away in a chest until the Squeaks opened it and were possessed by it. Meta Knight knew the secret of the chest and therefore fought Kirby to prevent it from being released.

* [[Sealed Evil in a Can|Sealed Evil In A Treasure Chest]]

 

 

The [[Big Bad]] of [[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirbys Epic Yarn]].

* [[Martial Arts and Crafts]]

 

 

The [[Big Bad]] of Kirby Mass Attack. He's the leader of the Skull Gang and he split Kirby into ten smaller versions of himself in the beginning, setting off the story for the game.

* [[Squishy Wizard]]

 

 

A friendly-looking alien who crash-landed on Popstar with his ship, the Lor Starcutter. Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandanna Dee volunteered to help him recover the parts that broke off the ship. {{spoiler|In truth, Magolor wants them to recover a magical item called the Master Crown from Landia so he can use it to become the supreme [[Evil Overlord]] of the galaxy.}}

== Supporting Characters ==

 

 

A fairy from Ripple Star. She is trying to collect all the [[Plot Coupon|shards of the Power Crystal]] that was shattered by Dark Matter and has the good fortune of meeting Kirby.

* [[Implied Love Interest]]: Only character to ever kiss Kirby [[Intimate Healing|romantically]], and the only character to initiate a (romantic) kiss in the entire ''series''.

* [[Universal Driver's License]]: His specialty in ''Crystal Shards'' is providing transportation via various vehicles.

 

 

One of Kirby's friends. An aspiring young artist able to [[Art Initiates Life|bring her drawings to life]].

* [[Token Human]]: Aside from Ado, is the only human character to be seen in the Kirby francise.

 

 

The wish-granting comet in Milky Way Wishes. Kirby sought it out to help stop the sun and moon fighting each other {{spoiler|before Marx interferes and send it in a [[Colony Drop]], but Kirby managed to stop it}}. In Meta Knightmare Ultra, Meta Knight sought it out to give himself a [[Worthy Opponent]].

* [[Unexpected Shmup Level]]: You get to ride a Starship in order to destroy its Nucleus.

 

 

A seemingly high-ranking Waddle Dee. He always wears a blue bandana, which sets him apart from other Waddle Dees.
