Talk:Kirby (series)

Kirby, a villager in Pupupuland, arrived on Planet Popstar when his rocket ship broke down, causing him to wake up and arrive at Pupupuland 200 years before schedueled. In the TV show, which is called Hoshii no Kaabii, kirby is usually found beating demon beasts sent out by Dedede, eating, or sleeping. In one person's opinion, he sleeps so much because he was supposed to be sleeping for 200 years. His friends are Bun and Fumu, childeren of the Cabinet Minister. His enemy's are usually demon beasts that are purchased and sent out by Dedede to destroy him. He is usally a peaceful creature, but sometimes causes a rukess by annoying the other villagers.

So are you trying to say the the anime is a prequel series to the actual video games? ... You know, that could make some sense if you took some liberties. 208.101.173.66 15:39, 4 August 2007 (UTC):Reply

I remember, in Kirby's Rainbow Resort, that a Kirby game was planned where Kirby would be depicted as much younger. I think it was "Kirby Kids" or something, and I'm pretty sure it was supposed to be for SNES. I guess it would be a prequel to Kirby's Dream Land, or an alternate continuity or something. Now, I don't have an immediate source on it other than Kirby Warrior mentioned it at least once, I think. I know this is the same place that also started the whole "Nightmare possessed Meta Knight" rumor at around the same time, but I think this should be looked into. 208.101.173.66 15:45, 4 August 2007 (UTC) Reply

I propose merging List of Kirby media into Kirby (series). I think the content in List of Kirby media can easily be explained in the context of Kirby (series), and a merger would not cause any article-size or weighting problems in Kirby (series).~ Arkhandar ^{(message me)} 10:55, 25 January 2023 (UTC) Reply

I like having a list of all the games with some information for each to quickly ascertain aspects about each like the release dates and other information. However, it would not be a huge qualm were the list merged as you suggest. ButterCashier (talk) 11:10, 25 January 2023 (UTC) Reply

I find separate lists with quick facts more convenient than having to scroll through everything else on series articles. And the Kirby series is one of the series with a sizeable list of media. Of course it can, but should it? WP:SIZERULE applies here. -Vipz (talk) 12:44, 25 January 2023 (UTC) Reply

• Oppose One would think that the idea of a featured list being overlapping with a series would have been considered already and found untrue. The series should not have a list of games, but a textual description, that is why separate list articles exist. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 20:36, 26 January 2023 (UTC) Reply

Oppose – The list format fits better as a separate article compared to the prose history of the series article (we could/should probably remove the incomplete list from the series article, though) DecafPotato (talk) 21:45, 26 January 2023 (UTC) Reply

Oppose - For the reasons above. Not to mention that the Games section in this article is just a duplicate of List of Kirby media. ThomasO1989 (talk) 23:53, 26 January 2023 (UTC) Reply

Comment - I was the user who originally brought the List of Kirby media article to FLC back in 2008, so I don't think it's my place to !vote in this matter. One note here is that the general rule of thumb I've seen (a long time ago, may be out of date now) is that a list with more than ten items generally can be split out for this kind of thing -- if we were to re-incorporate all of this information back into this article, it would be needlessly overlong (it seems like the incomplete list of games on this page would reinforce that this content would absolutely destroy the main article here). I'm inclined to keep this and other video game series of similar length separate. Nomader (talk) 23:12, 30 January 2023 (UTC) Reply

The updated series logo from 2022 currently on the page (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/d4/Kirby_2022_logo.svg/375px-Kirby_2022_logo.svg.png) is not the official series logo. The logo currently on the page is recreated from the 30th anniversary logo (https://kirby.nintendo.com/assets/img/kirby_30.png). The official new logo for the entire series (not just the 30th anniversary) is this: https://kirby.nintendo.com/assets/img/kirby-logo.png

The new logo is used in the titles of the games since Kirby and the Forgotten Land as well as now on the official Kirby website https://kirby.nintendo.com/

Currently it links to "Kirby's return to dreamland" for the wii which is already confusing, as the info the reader is expecting is about the nintendo switch version, listed at the bottom of the "development" part of that article. It's quite confusing really, and the link itself doesn't link to that part of the article anyways. Rando339 (talk) 21:26, 18 August 2023 (UTC) Reply

In the last paragraph of the "Development" section, it says "Masahiro Sakurai is set to direct the game" which like, was true, but the game is already out and has been directed by him already...

I feel like this whole paragraph should be updated to make it sound more... current. Also, I feel like calling "Star-Crossed World a "new game mode" is inaccurate.

I would edit this myself... but like, I'm not good at Wikipedia stuff when it comes to adding sources and whatnot. I think changing this section would improve the article, though! Dussyy (talk) 19:00, 5 January 2026 (UTC) Reply

why should "king dedede" redirect here? king dedede is a character in the series, but not the series itself. it's like linking Bowser with "super mario franchise"..... there even is probably already a seperate article about king dedede.

I was looking at the edit history of this article (oof), and saw that the same anonymous user (under different temporary accounts) engaged in edit warring over who actually owns Kirby. What's clear is HAL Laboratory develops most games in the series, and Nintendo publishes the series. The article, as it is now, seems to paint HAL Laboratory as the sole owner, which I don't think is the case, since both HAL and Nintendo are credited as owners in copyright notices, but I wanted to bring this to a discussion, in hopes that we might possibly settle this once and for all.

Hi MannysMyName, the IP editor quickly went to personal attacks. I hope you'll understand that doesn't make me want to collaborate any further. Back to the topic at hand: I don't know! If HAL owns Kirby, but HAL is a Nintendo second-party developer... I don't have the time to look into this, I'm afraid. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 20:24, 4 June 2026 (UTC) Reply

As someone who wasn't aware of what even happened with the article's edit history, I just wanted to drop by to state that I found a licensing press release regarding a licensing deal Nintendo and HAL signed with a Jakks Pacific subsidiary in early 2021, and it confirmed in fine print that the former two companies do own it. While I have already made the edit (and cited the press release as a source to back it up) before stumbling upon this page, it can be reverted in case further discussion is needed to clarify it.
