Line 17:
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: There are a massive list of songs from the series that are just plain amazing to hear, a list can be found [[Kirby/Awesome Music|here]].
* [[Complete Monster]]: {{spoiler|Marx of Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, is sometimes considered this. The fact that he fused with some of Nova's parts to bring himself [[Back from the Dead]] places him even further in this category}}.
** Necrodeus seems to be one, given that it split Kirby into ten and quickly killed off each individual form, and he only survived because the last Kirby made a miraculous escape. Mainly because of how cruel it is to murder nine different sentient beings while it was only necessary to kill Kirby once.▼
** Nightmare from ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' is the franchise's biggest example, compared to the [[Generic Doomsday Villain]] he was in ''Kirby's Adventure'': instead of being a vague threat only encountered at the end, he's a mass murderer of intergalactic proportions and an arms dealer who sells dangerous monsters to people who would happily abuse them.
** Let's not forget Hyness. Not only is he a doomsday cultist trying to summon Void Termina and have it destroy the universe, if not ''reality itself'', but he's willing to {{spoiler|use his loyal followers' corpses as weapons before sacrificing them to Void}}. {{spoiler|He seems to turn over a new leaf by the end of Heroes of Another Dimension, but whether it's a genuine redemption on his part or [[Heel Face Brainwashing]] by way of the Friend Heart is left to the player's imagination}}.
Line 67 ⟶ 66:
** Kirby himself is this. There are Nintendo fans who firmly believe the pink puff's badassery is only rivaled by [[F-Zero|Captain Falcon]].
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: Gourmet Race has become one of the most remixed songs on Youtube. Sand Canyon and Candy Mountain/Skyhigh are hot on its tail. [[Stupid Statement Dance Mix|Stupid Statement Dance Mixes]] of ''[[Lucky Star]]'' voice clips to the tune of various ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' tracks are also quite popular.
** Recently, there was a
** '''INVINCIBLE CANDY!''' (A running gag on Something Awful [[Let's Play]] of any Kirby game, second only to...)
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20110621171624/http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4574001248690584099 DELICIOUS!] (Whenever any food item is eaten, but especially Maximum Tomatoes.)
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
** ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn|Kirbys Epic Yarn]]'' brings us Kirby's arrival in Patch Land and his observation that the grass feels like... pants.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:
▲**
** Queen Sectonia introduces herself by {{spoiler|trying to kill Taranza, ''who was nothing but loyal to her'', for failing to defeat Kirby}}, establishing just how wicked and twisted of a creature she is.
** Hyness in ''Star Allies'' pulls an even ''worse'' one
** If you thought Necrodeus was vile, just wait until you see Fecto Forgo. {{spoiler|They brainwash all the animals, open a vortex to capture the Waddle Dees for slave labor (with the convenient side effect of Kirby getting knocked into a months-long coma thanks to [[Year Inside, Hour Outside]]), brainwash King Dedede into capturing their other half [[Big Good|Elfilin]], try to [[Colony Drop|crash their world into Planet Popstar]] (which would've killed billions, Kirby included), and shatter Leongar (the boss fought just before Fecto Forgo absorbs him)'s soul into 300 pieces.}} {{spoiler|And after they're absorbed by [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|Morpho Knight]]}} {{spoiler|they absorb it back to become [[True Final Boss|Chaos Elfilis]].}} {{spoiler|After their defeat and final fusion with Elfilin with the latter now in charge, it's not clear if they did a [[Heel Face Turn]] or are [[Complete Monster|still evil]] and finally [[Pyrrhic Villainy|got what they wanted]] all along.}}
* [[Never Live It Down]]:
** In ''
** Some fans also hang onto the few times he's accidentally helped further a bad guy's goals [[Victim Blaming|as more evidence that he's a sociopath]], never mind that it's only happened ''four'' times out of his many adventures, and three times out of four he had no reason to suspect that what he was doing was bad (especially since two of those times had a silver-tongued schemer manipulating him).
* [[Nightmare Fuel]]: The series is placed in ''Dream Land'', so it's obvious that the enemies are related to nightmares. [[Kirby/Nightmare Fuel|And you WILL have them]].
* [[Periphery Demographic]]: Though the games were mostly geared for children just beginning to play video games, a good chunk of the fanbase are experienced gamers who grew up playing them and who gleefully return to each new installment, no matter how short or easy it is. From ''Super Star Ultra'' onward, the developers seemed to recognize this and would put in genuinely difficult secret game modes to challenge older veterans, as well as greatly expand on the series' lore in ways that make beloved older characters relevant once more.
Line 85 ⟶ 86:
* [[Squick]]: In ''Super Star'' (and a few other games with co-op). A player can share the effects of a recently consumed food item by walking up to their ally at which point the two get face to face for a second. There's really no other way to interpret this animation as anything but player 1 spitting up what they had just eaten into player 2's mouth...
** [[Averted Trope|...until later games outright confirmed]] that they share the health gain with [[The Power of Love|a kiss]]. There's a distinct smacking sound when you do it. [[Ho Yay|Note that some of Kirby's helpers and all of his ''Return to Dream Land'' partners are male, and in Meta Knightmare Ultra, Meta Knight does this with his helper as well.]]
*** [[
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: The entire series, until [[Mood Whiplash]]
* [[Tear Jerker]]: The ending of ''Revenge of the King'' in ''Super Star Ultra''. Poor Dedede.
* [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]] / [[It's Easy, So It Sucks]]: ''Nightmare in Dream Land'' is markedly easier than the game it's a remake of, ''Kirby's Adventure''... and it removed the [[Visual Effects of Awesome|rotating tower]] segments from Butter Building for no apparent reason. Fans were not pleased.
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]:
** That goes for Dedede ''and'' Meta Knight in ''Kirby's Adventure'' - neither tells Kirby of the fact that taking the Star Rod will unleash Nightmare from his prison
* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: We've got a whole page for it [[Kirby/WMG|here]].
* [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]: Zero can't feel positive emotions and is jealous of Dreamland's happiness, reasoning that if it can't be happy, nothing will be. Due to this, some of the Kirby fandom sees Zero as a [[Draco in Leather Pants]].
