Kirby vs. Shy Guy
Kirby vs. Shy Guy is an excellent Sprite Comic starring Yoshi and Kirby. It all starts with them getting attacked by General Guy, which eventually leads to a Mario & Luigi styled fight against a Bandit, and... well, it's better to read it yourself.
The comic doesn't have a domain, so it could be found here.
Tropes used in Kirby vs. Shy Guy include:
- Action Commands: The "Bros Moves" are explained to use action commands, and though Yoshi argues that "there is no B Button", he's somehow able to "press" it anyway.
- Artifact Title: The Shy Guys only combat Kirby at the first parts of the comic. For the rest of the comic though, General Guy has been searching for him.
- Bamboo Technology: Cameras. Made of watermelons.
- Big Boo's Haunt: Part of the comic takes place in this.
- Butt Monkey: BG Bandit gets the target of most attacks, the center of a Running Gag involving birds falling on his head, and even is attacked by his loyal pet.
- In a way, Dry Bones. Everyone sees him as a nuisance, though Kirby's team starts to regret him not being there during the Reminox battle.
- Combination Attack: The Bros Moves.
- Determinator: The Shy Guys are still searching for Kirby...
- Eldritch Abomination: The monster behind the background.
