Line 37:
** Ribbon. Kirby's first love interest, {{spoiler|and the only person to ever kiss Kirby}}.
** Bandana Dee, [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin|a Waddle Dee with a bandana]] seems to be rapidly gaining popularity, especially after the announcement he was playable in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. [[Lampshaded]] by his pause screen description in the game, which calls him "everyone's favorite idol".
* [[Even Better Sequel]]: The original Kirby game was a fairly standard side-scroller that was pretty enjoyable for what it was, but was laughably short and easy (although the latter is compensated by the unlockable Hard Mode--[[Nintendo Hard|and it lives up to its name]]) and didn't even allow you to copy abilities! ''Kirby's Adventure'' then came out on the NES and blew the original out of the water by offering more levels, the series-trademark copy abilities, and a save feature! ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'', while not quite as good as ''Adventure'', at least brought these improvements down to a portable level.
* [[Evil Is Cool]]: Kirby villains as a whole tend to be ''very'' popular. While a lot of them are [[Generic Doomsday Villain]]s such as Nightmare, Dark Matter, Zero, 02, and Necrodeus, they make up for their lack of personality with their awesomely creepy designs and memorable encounters. Meanwhile, better-fleshed out villains like {{spoiler|Marx}}, {{spoiler|Magolor}}, Queen Sectonia, Taranza, Susie, and President Haltmann are strongly characterized, go through genuine development, and - in the case of Haltmann and Sectonia - are ridiculously tragic in spite of their appalling villainy. Then you've got King Dedede's more malicious outings where he's your typical hammy and fun Nintendo villain, as well as ''[[Epileptic Trees|Epileptic Woodsman]]'' Void Termina with the crazy implications its existence has for multiple villains ''and'' heroes in the series. Uniting them all is amazingly fun boss fights, great boss music, and intriguing lore, which results in one of Nintendo's strongest rogues galleries yet.
