Line 1:
{{work}}
* In ''Epic Yarn'', the lack of Kirby's inhale ability is nicely explained. But how, then, can he still ''eat''? The same logic should apply. He even got upset with Prince Fluff over that apple tree incident, when the Yarn-world inhabitants should have no need to eat period!
** Perhaps the magic that keeps
* So does Dedede actually rule over anywhere?
** In Brawl, Roy Campbell actually points out, "He's the ruler of Dream Land, or so he says".
Line 7:
*** Like the [[Homestar Runner|King Of Town]]?
**** Kind of, except Kirby's the one known for non-stop eating.
***** His in-game description in ''Kirby's Air Ride'' also mentions, "Is he really a king?".
***** No, Dedede's a worse glutton than Kirby. Remember, the plot of the very first Kirby game was Dedede stealing all the food on the entire planet as "taxes" so he could have a ginormous picnic. He pretty much is the King of Town.
** Considering the original
** Maybe whether or not Dedede is a king is for you to decide, kind of like a [[Noodle Incident]].
** I personally believe that King Dedede commands the loyalty of his Waddle Dee army by giving them food, and all his other kingly flairs come naturally from this - they helped build his castle, spread his "rule" throughout the land by sheer numbers, etc. etc. - But it's pretty clear that he's not Dream Land's king in any sense of the word, as his Melee trophy outright states that he performs no administrative duties whatsoever. The peaceful Dream Land probably has no need for a ruler and its citizens just oblige Dedede's delusion to keep on his good side.
Line 19:
* Is anyone else kind of annoyed by how some people think ''every'' single villain in the series is some subsidiary of the Dark Matter? I understand that yes, Zero/02 is pretty much the biggest evil in that universe, but not ''everything'' was caused by him. We have the villains who were obviously part of the Dark Matter: that singular swordsman Dark Matter in KDL2, the Dark Matter drone and Zero in KDL3, and then 02 in K64. They're the definite ones. Then there's Drawcia, who made a deal with Zero to give herself power, and then when Kirby defeated her, Zero decided "fuck it" and took over for a moment to have another shot at Kirby. That's canon too. Here we move into the slightly dubious ones, like Dark Mind and Dark Nebula. Dark Mind is probably the Mirror World counterpart of Zero, so that makes sense, and Dark Nebula could be some offshoot of the Dark Matter? But that's it! It gets really annoying when people try to claim that villains like ''Marx'' are part of the Dark Matter. There's no link between them whatsoever, and it's the same with Magolor. He wasn't possessed by Dark Matter, he was possessed by the ''Crown,'' and it was puppeting his body. Is anyone else irked by that?
** Nightmare is also not connected, but equally annoying is that the show made Dark Matter Nightmare's minion, [[Mooks|a throwaway minion]]! Marx is not connected and it is strange people try. Super Star was better received in sales and reviews than the Dark Matter trilogy but Dark Matter to Zero 2 are the most nightmarish monsters to be bosses, and a subsection of the fandom is always gushing about Kirby defeating nightmarish abominations. Maybe they try to tie Dark Matter/Zero into everything to justify is status as a monster worth gushing about? It would probably be better if Dark Matter had a proper return and more villains were designed to stand alone, unconnected to it. Drawcia, Dark Nebula and Dark Mind kind of rob Dark Matter of its mystique.
** Also [[Kirby Star Allies|Void Termina]], who's implied to have created Zero.
* Was Meta Knight under the influence of Dark Matter during the ''Revenge of Meta Knight'' storyline in Kirby Super Star or he's just actually evil?
** I think it was more of a [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]] type of thing, he figured that Dream Land would be better off with him in charge. I mean, look at their current leader.
Line 31 ⟶ 32:
** [[Berserk Button|The Squeaks should have known to never fuck with Kirby when it involves food.]]
*** This is KIRBY we're talking about! They don't die. They turn into magical stars and go to another dimension with lots of candy.
** He could always go get another slice of cake, true, but if he hunted down his original cake first, he would then have TWO cakes.
* Related to the above: In Kirby Squeak Squad, WHY THE HECK COULD HE NOT GO GET ANOTHER SLICE OF CAKE?! Surely it couldn't be the only slice of strawberry shortcake in the whole of Pop Star? Sheesh, Kirby!
** Well, have you ever seen another slice of strawberry shortcake as any health pickups in any of the other games?
*** Some Kirby games ''do'' have that.
** Clearly it must have been homemade. Nobody messes with Kirby's Homemade strawberry shortcake.
** Because if he let those mice get away, it would set a bad example. What next? People will start borrowing his cans of pop. Someone will make a sandwich with his bread. Things will continue on in this vein until someone makes spaghetti sauce with his Maxim Tomatoes. And woe for existence on that day, for Kirby will decide that any universe that steals his food is no longer worthy of existence, and consume it all. Dedede 12:17.
Line 43 ⟶ 45:
** [[Darker and Edgier|GRIMDARK Kirby?]]
** Silly troper, cuteness is for Japan!
*** The US boxart for Kirby Super
** I always thought that it was to show how determined he was. Furrowed brows mean more than just anger, after all.
* Possibly just reading too much into reading too much, but... can't we simply count JBM about Kirby as simply "dream logic"? It's
**
* In the Meta Knightmare section of KSSU, why does he blow up his own damn ship? Just because he wants to prove he's just as good as that goddamned marshmallow boy?
** Meta Knight is just that hardcore. And possibly GRIMDARK.
Line 70 ⟶ 72:
** A thick and reflective atmosphere, maybe? It could work in reverse to why we see the sky blue, when space is actually pitch black(as seen on the Moon).
*** That might work, but you'd also have to explain why the sky looks blue from the ground.
*** Then how come ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' and later games show it as having visible craters? The planet even visibly crumbles mid-game...
** And in [[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]], you can see a round planet view in the background of Nutty Noon. Could it be that Popstar is actually a whole galaxy?
* Zero. A boss that cries [[Tears of Blood]] whenever hit in the eye in ''Kirby 64''. Even worse, in his original appearance in ''Kirby's Dream Land 3'', it actually cuts itself to shoot blood as a projectile weapon and when out of HP, its bloody iris pops out of its eye in a last-ditch attempt to take you down. How the hell did those scenes not only still get the games an E and K-A rating respectively, but also get by Nintendo of America's [[Bowdlerization]] practices back in the day?
** Clearly the censors couldn't bring themselves to 100% the game and get to said secret bosses.
Line 77 ⟶ 81:
* So... are those red things Kirby's feet, or are they cute little booties?
** Presumably they're his feet.
**
* Are Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright actually the sun and moon? If that's true, than that means Kirby has killed the sun and moon
▲* Are Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright actually the sun and moon? If that's true, than that means Kirby has killed the sun and moon, TWICE.
** It doesn't appear to be that way. In ''[[Kirby Super Star|Milky Way Wishes]]'', the plot is that the sun and moon are fighting, but they don't seem to be Shine and Bright. It's much like [[Super Mario Bros 3|The Angry Sun.]]
Line 95:
* In Kirby Squeak Squad, what was Daroach and his gang looking for, anyway? Were they really looking to unleash a [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] ? Did they think something else was in it? Were they just going to sell it, but Daroach just had to take a look?
** They were looking for treasure. Them unleashing [[Sealed Evil in a Can]] was completely by accident.
* In ''Kirby's
* Are Meta Knight's wings a part of his body or his transformed cape? Most games seem to support the latter, but in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' he clearly takes his cape off and casts it aside to reveal his wings.
** Perhaps he was cold that day, and it was an extra cape on top of his wing cape?
** Meta Knight's wings sprout from his back (from the looks of it) when he chases you at the end of Revenge of Meta Knight, and he doesn't wear a cape in Meta Knightmare Ultra, so my guess is his wings are a part of his body and are retractable.
