Kirby


 * For fighter info, see Kirby (SR). For the universe, see Kirby (universe).

Kirby (カービィ, Kābī) is the main protagonist of the Kirby series. He was created by Masahiro Sakurai when he was 19 years old and who also created the Super Smash Bros. series and helped develop Kid Icarus Uprising. The series has been running for two decades, and nearly thirty titles have been released under Kirby's name, most of which are developed by HAL Laboratory Inc.

Character description
Kirby's round pink form is only 8 inches (20.32 centimeters) in height (though in his appearances in the Super Smash Bros. series, also created by Sakurai, his dimensions are obviously enlarged).

Kirby is a resident and the consistent hero of the yellow star-shaped planet Pop Star. He can inhale forcefully, allowing him to swallow enemies in front of him and copy their abilities to fight back (known as a copy ability). He can also store the air he inhales, making himself large and puffy, enabling him to float around. He can also store the air and spit out something that can damage enemies. His species, of which himself, Keeby, and Meta Knight (although the latter is unconfirmed) are the three most prominent individuals, is not officially named, outside of the vague "citizens of Dream Land", which does not reveal his species, but is most commonly referred to as "Kirbys".

As a playable character


Kirby appears in Smash Remix, along with the rest of the characters from Smash 64.

Just like in Smash 64, He is known for his great recovery, quick attacks, his amazingly fast up tilt, and surprisingly long-range aerials, all of which place him rather high in the original game's Tier list. His trademark move is Swallow, which allows him to suck in enemies and emulate their neutral B attacks.

In-game description

 * The 8-inch high Kirby hails from a distant, peaceful star. Like his simplistic appearance, he is an easily-understood character. True to his instincts, Kirby eats when he gets hungry and sleeps as soon as he grows tired. Nevertheless, Kirby remains a formidable opponent. In addition to his distinct flying and swallowing skills, he also has the ability to copy enemy attacks for ever-changing action.
