(Examples Are Not Recent, because who knows when that YouTube fad was? There's also Word Cruft in the form of Verbal Tics and other things, and a case of two different examples of Gannon Banned being listed under separate trope names.) |

Line 4:
** While they're among the most loathsome villains in the series due to the sheer scale of their crimes, both Queen Sectonia from ''Triple Deluxe'' and President Haltmann from ''Planet Robobot'' are very pitiable figures once you learn more about them: both were benevolent authority figures twisted into insane, sociopathic monsters by corruptive outside influences (and in Haltmann's case, grief over {{spoiler|his daughter seemingly dying in an accident}}). With the former's death being treated as a [[Mercy Kill]] {{spoiler|that her best friend and possible lover has to get involved with, no less}} and the latter's ultimate fate being [[Nightmare Fuel|genuinely]] [[And I Must Scream|nightmarish]], they have plenty of sympathy from the fanbase.
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Kirby is quite a cocky [[Jerkass]] in ''Kirby's Avalanche'' (even though the game is not technically canon).
** More famously
*** ''[[Brawl in the Family]]'' plays with this; for instance, Meta Knight once says to Dedede: "Like it or not, you and Kirby aren't that different, but where he has childlike optimism, you have untempered malice."
*** ''[[There Will Be Brawl]]'' plays with it too, [[I Am a Humanitarian|and]] [[Nightmare Fuel|how.]]
Line 90:
* [[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]]: Meta Knight in ''Kirby Squeak Squad.''
** 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. Meta Knight is [[Subverted Trope|implied to be preparing Kirby for the fight with Nightmare]], but still...
* [[Wild Mass Guessing]]: We've got a whole page for it [[Kirby/WMG|here]].
