Line 10:
** It should be noted that Dedede has a LOT more friends than Kirby in the games. Pretty much his only in-game friends outside of [[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards|Kirby 64]] are all created by him somehow. Pretty much everybody else has tried to kill him at least once.
*** Actually, three of his friends in that game have tried to kill him too. (Adeleine was a victim of two [[Demonic Possession]]s, though.) But he's been shown to spend time with his friends there and with the ''Dreamland 2'' and ''3'' friends.
** How evil is Galacta Knight? He's noted to be strong enough to be capable of destroying entire planets and was sealed away because of that power, but the games are vague on if he abused it or not. So he's either a psychopathic, planet-busting [[Blood Knight]]
* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: After about 6 years of delays and hiatus, the ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' Wii follow-up [http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2011-01-28-new-nintendo-wii-kirby-game-announced was finally been confirmed for a release], and plans to feature, after ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', the return of Kirby's [[Mega Manning]], as well as brand new abilities and [[Super Smash Bros.|Final Smash]]-like moves. Needless to say, fans exploded with [[Tears of Joy]]. They did so even more when it was revealed Meta Knight, King Dedede, and the bandana Waddle Dee were playable characters in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.
** There's more: Kirby's Adventure is confirmed as a 3D Classic for [[Nintendo 3DS]].
Line 30:
* [[Ear Worm]]: Pick a song, ANY song from the games. Case in point: the Invincibility jingle. It doesn't help that the games have a habit of endlessly recycling/remixing music used from previous games.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]:''
** Galacta Knight of ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''. At that point, he had only showed up for one battle and didn't even get a single line of dialogue, yet already fans are spinning [[Fan Wank]] about his origins and clamouring for him to appear in another game. {{spoiler|[[And the Fandom Rejoiced|They got what they wanted]] not only in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', but in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Clash]]''
** Meta Knight. To the point where he gets to be a playable character in Air Ride, Nightmare in Dreamland, and Super Star Ultra, and now Return to Dreamland. His [[Face Ship]], the [[Stealth Pun|Halberd]], is a major plot point in the [[Super Smash Bros.|Subspace Emissary]] and the only original Kirby stage in the game.
** Adeleine from ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
** Arguably Nightmare
** Ribbon. Kirby's first love interest,
** 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".
** Magolor seems to be quickly becoming this. It probably helps that he has one of the best character designs in the whole Kirby series, and that when he pricks his ears down, [[Ridiculously Cute Critter|his cuteness rivals Kirby's.]] {{spoiler|Until he [[Et Tu, Brute?|steals Landia's crown]], that is.}} He still has quite a bit of popularity regardless, especially owing to his appearance {{spoiler|and redemption}} in ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'', and subsequent appearances in ''Kirby Super Clash'' and ''[[Kirby: Star Allies]]''.
* [[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, all right]]) 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 Dreamland 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.
