Tropes relating to [[Kirby]] and his friends and foes. For anime-only characters and tropes only present to a character in ''[[Kirby of the Stars]]'', go [[Kirby of the Stars (Anime)/Characters|here.]] ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land (Video Game)|Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]'' also has its own [[Kirbys Return to Dream Land (Video Game)/Characters|character page]].
 
'''''WARNING: CONTAINS SPOILERS'''''
Line 26:
* [[Butt Monkey]]: In any cinematic not related to the [[Excuse Plot|"plot"]], Kirby ''will'' get abused. Case in point, the world title cards in ''Dreamland'' and ''Adventure'', and the blooper reel in ''Super Star Ultra''.
* [[Catch Phrase]]: "Hi!"
** And in the anime, ([[Ret Canon|and later]] ''[[KirbysKirby's Epic Yarn (Video Game)|Kirbys Epic Yarn]]'', ''[[Kirby Mass Attack (Video Game)|Kirby Mass Attack]]'' and ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land (Video Game)|Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]'') "Poyo!"
* [[Cheerful Child]]: He has the mannerisms of one.
* [[Extreme Omnivore]]
Line 87:
=== '''''Animal Friends''''' ===
 
In ''Kirby's Dreamland 2'' and ''3'', Kirby may come across his animal friends and hitch a ride from them (sometimes flipped). Typically, they change his [[Mega Manning|copied powers]] in some way, and have a different sort of movement: for example, Kine has very fast and tight underwater controls (but is a bit awkward on land). All have appeared in the [[Kirby of the Stars (Anime)|anime]], although with ''very'' small roles.
 
Tropes associated with all animal friends:
Line 110:
 
Tropes associated with Kine:
* [[The Cameo]]: In ''[[Kirby Mass Attack (Video Game)|Kirby Mass Attack]]'', he appears in Brawl Ball. His first appearance in ''years''.
* [[Crippling Overspecialization]]: Subverted. He is indeed better in the water, but he does okay on land. See [[Fish Out of Water]].
* [[Fish Out of Water]]: Literally! Largely averted (after ''Dream Land 2'') though, as he's capable of hopping along at a normal pace and even jumping quite high on land.
Line 163:
 
=== '''King Dedede''' ===
{{quote| "'''[[KirbysKirby's Epic Yarn (Video Game)|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]].
Line 183:
* [[Disc One Final Boss]]: in ''Kirby's Adventure'' and ''Kirby's Dreamland 2'' and ''3''.
* [[Drop the Hammer]]
** [[Impossibly Cool Weapon]]: In ''[[Super Smash Bros|Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', his hammer has a '''jet engine''' for the sole purpose of swinging extremely strong hits. In "Revenge of the King" in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', Masked Dedede has an even cooler new hammer. It can [[Macross Missile Massacre|launch missiles]], [[Kill It Withwith Fire|shoot a gout of flame]], and be used for an extreme [[Spin Attack]].
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: to Kirby
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Penguins]]
* [[Eyes Do Not Belong There]]: When possessed by Dark Matter in [[Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards]], Dark Matter embeds its eye into his ''stomach''.
* [[Fat Bastard]]
* [[A Father to His Men]]: He seems to actually care very much about his Waddle Dees.
* [[Go-Karting Withwith Bowser|Go Karting With King Dedede]]: This is pretty much what Gourmet Race is. In any case, [[Anti-Villain|Kirby and King Dedede seem to be on good terms most of the time]].
* [[Harmless Villain]]: Dedede's not really bad ([[Alternate Universe|except in the anime]]), he's just big and greedy and Kirby has to bring him down to earth. In fact, he's been known to give Kirby giant hugs.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: In ''Kirby 64'', to help fight Dark Matter. He's pretty reluctant about the whole thing, though. Also in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''.
* [[Jerkass]]: In the spinoffs.
** [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold]]
* [[Leitmotif]]: His theme from Kirby's Dreamland is carried to every single game onwards besides Avalanche; it's also not used for the fight with him in Kirby's Adventure and its remake, but it still gets used for the miniboss tower.
* [[Large and In Charge]]
Line 204:
** Also in Kirby's Adventure.
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: His hammer.
** As of ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land (Video Game)|Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby Mass Attack (Video Game)|Kirby Mass Attack]]'', he's picked up bombs lately as well.
* [[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.
 
Line 220:
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Every once in a while.
* [[Blood Knight]]: Towards Kirby and Galacta Knight in particular.
* [[Blow You Away]]/[[Everything's Better Withwith Spinning]]: One of his signature moves is Mach Tornado.
* [[Cape Wings]]
* [[Char Clone]]: Lacks the usual color scheme, but embodies most of the other traits.
Line 236:
* [[Honor Before Reason]]: The Halberd is on fire and plummeting towards the ocean, so naturally he throws Kirby a sword and will wait half a minute for him to pick it up before their duel.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Given that Kirby is an idiot, this is why Meta Knight ends up fighting him a lot.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Has a fire attack in Squeak Squad.
* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: Though he often fights Kirby because he knows some terrible secret and is trying to keep Kirby from [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|screwing things up]], he will never, ever, ever indicate this in any way until it's too late.
** [[Hero Antagonist]]: As a result.
Line 264:
Tropes associated with Whispy Woods:
* [[Blow You Away]]: For some reason, he shoots air blasts like Kirby. They're much longer-ranged, though. In Revenge of the King and Return to Dream Land, he can sometimes shoot out small tornadoes, which are stronger.
* [[Go-Karting Withwith Bowser]]: He's sometimes shown to be friendly with Kirby.
* [[Recurring Boss]]: ''Kirby and the Amazing Mirror'' and ''Kirby: Squeak Squad'' are probably the only platformers where he's not the first boss of the game, and the former uses an [[Expy]] anyways.
* [[Warmup Boss]]: In every game he appears in, without fail. Except for Kirby's Epic Yarn, where he's actually fairly tough. ''Return to Dream Land'' improves his abilities a bit, but overall he's comparatively easy.
Line 327:
* [[Dual Boss]]
* [[Light'Em Up]]
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]
* [[Ramming Always Works]]: Mr. Shine
* [[Rolling Attack]]: Mr. Bright
Line 344:
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: {{spoiler|Kirby frees him by defeating King Dedede and re-forming the Star Rod.}}
* [[Obviously Evil]]: Definitely.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can]]
 
=== '''Dyna Blade''' ===
Line 375:
* [[Sword Fight]]: You can try in Kirby's Dreamland 2, [[Shmuck Bait|but you shouldn't]]
* [[That's No Moon]]: ''Kirby 64'' features a '''planet-sized''' mass of Dark Matter.
* [[The Night That Never Ends]]: They can cover entire worlds like storm clouds, as seen on {{spoiler|the planet Ripple Star, in ''[[Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards]]''}}.
* [[True Final Boss]]: In ''Kirby's Dreamland 2''.
 
=== '''Zero''' ===
 
A huge, white eye with a red iris. Is capable of creating and controlling Dark Matter. Revived in ''[[Kirby 64 The Crystal Shards (Video Game)|Kirby 64]]'' as Zero-Two, with wings, a halo, and a freaky green tail.
 
{{quote| First appearance: ''Kirby's Dreamland 3''}}
Line 436:
* '''[[Badass]]''': The only Kirby foe to have a rock song for his battle theme, and it shows.
** For comparison, Marx's strongest attack is a [[Hell Gate]] that does about 1/3 of your health. Galacta Knight's strongest attack simply [[Spam Attack|stabs you in the face several times]] and deals 1/2 your health.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: {{spoiler|Of ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land (Video Game)|Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]''}}.
* [[Cool Mask]]: It has a cross-shaped slit in the front, matching the design on his shield.
* [[Evil Counterpart]]: Of Meta Knight. His design is basically an angelic version of Meta Knight's, interestingly enough. He may or may not be evil, however.
Line 445:
* [[Real Men Wear Pink|Real Men Wear Pink and White]]: ''Ooohhhh yeah.''
* [[Shock and Awe]]: in ''Return to Dream Land'', he can summon columns of lightning.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|Sealed Evil In A Crystal]]
** [[Sealed Badass in Aa Can]]
* [[Spell My Name Withwith an "S"]]: Galacta Knight in the US and Galactic Knight in Japan.
* [[Storm of Blades]]: One of his attacks in ''Return to Dream Land''.
 
Line 500:
* [[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''.
* [[Heel Face Turn]]: {{spoiler|They stop antagonizing Kirby at the end of Squeak Squad,}} and they help out Kirby in [[Kirby Mass Attack (Video Game)|Kirby Mass Attack]].
* [[Hidden Depths]]: If you talk to him long enough in ''Kirby Mass Attack'', Daroach will eventually tell you things about himself and his cohorts.
* [[Ninja]]: Spinni.
* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: Storo and the Squeakers can throw bombs.
* [[Third Person Person]]: Daroach, but only briefly in ''[[Kirby Mass Attack (Video Game)|Kirby Mass Attack]]''.
 
=== '''{{spoiler|Dark Nebula}}''' ===
Line 520:
* [[Final Boss]]
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: Its appearance isn't hinted on until late into the game.
* [[Sealed Evil in Aa Can|Sealed Evil In A Treasure Chest]]
 
=== '''Yin-Yarn''' ===
 
The [[Big Bad]] of [[KirbysKirby's Epic Yarn (Video Game)|Kirbys Epic Yarn]].
 
{{quote| First appearance: ''[[KirbysKirby's Epic Yarn (Video Game)|Kirbys Epic Yarn]] ''}}
 
Tropes associated with Yin-Yarn:
Line 555:
* [[Necromancer]]: His defining physical appearance trait.
* [[Raymanian Limbs]]
* [[Skull for Aa Head]]
* [[Squishy Wizard]]
 
Line 583:
* [[The Trickster]]
* [[Walking Spoiler]]
* [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?]]: {{spoiler|Unlike most other dark being final bosses, he seems to have escaped from his apparent destruction in the end.}}
 
 
Line 648:
* [[Ascended Extra]]: His first appearance was as an opponent in Megaton Punch in ''Super Star''. In ''Super Star Ultra'', he appears as King Dedede's personal helper in Revenge of the King. In ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]'', he is now a playable character, aiding Kirby, Meta Knight, and his King.
* [[Badass Normal]]: Unlike his allies, he has no real abilities in [[Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]. In fact, he only wields a spear.
* [[Blade Onon a Stick]]: His spear. He can even [[Everything's Better Withwith Spinning|twirl it]] [[Improbable Use of a Weapon|like a helicopter blade to fly.]]
* [[My Friends and Zoidberg]]: He's teaming up with [[The Hero]], [[The Lancer]], and the [[Big Bad]]. Naturally, he's getting this treatment.
* [[No Name Given]]: All official material refers him simply as "Waddle Dee". Bandana Dee is just his [[Fan Nickname|nickname]].
Line 654:
* [[Spin Attack]]
* [[Super Strength]]: Only in Megaton Punch.
* [[Took a Level In Badass]]: He was once a joke boss from ''[[Kirby Super Star (Video Game)|Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', but he becomes a capable fighter in ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land]]''.
