Sir Kibble is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby's Dream Land . He gives the Cutter ability when inhaled.

Physical Appearance[ ]

Sir Kibble wears a suit of golden armor with a yellow visor, surrounding what appears to be a dark void, with a blade on top of his helmet that he can use as a boomerang. He has feet with silver armor on them and red gloves. When it becomes a Helper in Kirby Star Allies, Sir Kibble wears the hat Kirby wears when he gets the Cutter Copy Ability.

Games[ ]

Kirby's Dream Land [ ]

Sir Kibble first appeared in the game's 4th level Bubbly Clouds. Here he would walk around slowly before tossing the cutter boomerang on his helmet to try to hurt Kirby. Because Copy Abilities didn't debut until Kirby's Adventure, Kirby can't get the Cutter ability from him in this game. In Extra Mode, Sir Kibble is replaced by Boomer, which looks like Poppy Bros. Jr. with a boomerang. Boomer tosses boomerangs faster than Sir Kibble and tosses 2 at a time which instead of returning to Boomer fly over his head at an angle.

Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land [ ]

Sir Kibble returns in Kirby's Adventure, and this time, he can have his ability copied; otherwise, his behavior is mostly the same. Now, if Kirby is in the air, Sir Kibble will jump up and throw his cutter trying to hit Kirby; he will also sometimes toss his cutter then jump over it, when it returns, causing it to pass under him.

Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra [ ]

Sir Kibble also appears in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra as a common enemy. He appears in three colors of armor: pink, silver, and bronze. There is no difference in strength or strategy for the different colors of Sir Kibble. His tactics are similar to those he uses in Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land , but he can now jump and throw his cutter downwards at Kirby. He is weak to the Zap element. He gives Kirby the Cutter ability when swallowed. Additionally, the gold-armor Sir Kibble is the Cutter-based Helper that Kirby can create from the ability. His abilities as an ally include throwing his boomerang and slashing with it in various movements and directions. He can also perform Cleaving Cutter underwater. In Helper to Hero, his armor is a bright green instead of a bright yellow and he's wearing yellow gloves.

Kirby's Dream Land 3 [ ]

Sir Kibble retains his color scheme from previous games, his behavior consists of throwing the boomerang both on land and in mid-air while jumping

Kirby's Super Star Stacker [ ]

Sir Kibble makes a cameo appearance in the crowd during the match against King Dedede.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards [ ]

Sir Kibble appears in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards as one of the main Cutter-based enemies, alongside others such as Fishbone and Sawyer. His attack is noticeably much slower in this game than in previous installments.

Kirby GCN [ ]

Sir Kibble appeared in the trailer of this cancelled game as an enemy and a helper.

Kirby Mass Attack [ ]

Sir Kibble cameos in Kirby Brawlball as part of Marx's black hole attack.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land , Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition , and Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe [ ]

Sir Kibble also appears in Kirby's Return to Dream Land as a common enemy. He appears in the New Challenge Stages in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition as well. He appears in the Smash Combat Chamber and Magolor Race 1. In these games, Sir Kibble's cutter attack has a motion blur effect.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot [ ]

In these games, Sir Kibble looks exactly like he does in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and acts much the way he did in that game. However, Sir Kibble now possesses the ability to throw cutters from the foreground to the background, or vice versa. Since Kirby cannot attack the enemy when they're on separate planes, the pink puff can only dodge these cutters, or destroy the blades with a Copy Ability or air puff.

Kirby Star Allies [ ]

Sir Kibble makes an appearance in Kirby Star Allies as an enemy, and also reprises his role as a helper.

Kirby and the Forgotten Land [ ]

Sir Kibble reappears as an enemy in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, acting similarly to the way he does in previous games. However, his cutter now moves in circular/triangular-motion to cover more ground in the 3D aspect.

Kirby Air Riders [ ]

Sir Kibble reprises his role as an enemy who gives the Cutter ability for all riders who inhale or capture him.

In the Super Smash Bros. series [ ]

Sir Kibble appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl . His model from the aforementioned Kirby GCN is used.

A trophy of Sir Kibble also exists in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U , this time using Sir Kibble's model from Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

Trivia[ ]

• Sir Kibble didn't have visible hands in-game in Kirby's Dream Land , Kirby's Adventure , or Kirby's Dream Land 2 .
• Sir Kibble in Helper form has a strange way of guarding; when he is protecting himself he simply hides in his thick armor.
• In Kirby's Dream Land 2, Sir Kibble is referred to as Lord Kibble (mistranslated as "Load Kibble"). Its keychain in the Japanese version of Kirby: Triple Deluxe reflects this, with its name being ロードキブル (Rōdo Kiburu), even though it's just referred to by it's normal name in the English version (Sir Kibble).
  • Amusingly, the kanji 卿 can mean either "Sir" or "Lord," although Sir Kibble's Japanese name(s) are always written in katakana.
  • In Kirby's Dream Buffet , it is referred to as Lord Kibble.
• In Kirby's Dream Land 3 and the English version of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards , its name is spelled as "Sirkibble."
• Kirby's Return to Dream Land has the first cutter mid-boss based on Sir Kibble by the name of Kibble Blade, which implies a stronger alteration of Sir Kibble.
• The Prima strategy guide for Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is flawed; it states that Sir Kibble throws his hat to attack, when in fact he throws the cutter off his hat.
• In Kirby Fighters Deluxe , Kirby Battle Royale and Kirby Fighters 2 , Sir Kibble's helmet is used for Cutter's outfits.
• As with Cutter, Sir Kibble's method of attack could have been inspired by the Eye Slugger weapon from the 1967 tokusatsu TV series Ultraseven.
  • In Mega Man 7 , there is a green-helmeted, big-eyed enemy very similar to Sir Kibble that falls from the top of the armors in Shade Man's stage named Ragger, that attacks by throwing the cutter on top of its head, and is invincible while hiding its arms in its helmet. Considering the iconic status of the Eye Slugger weapon and Ultraseven in Japanese popular culture, this enemy may have shared the same inspiration as Sir Kibble and the Cutter ability.
• In the Kirby Super Star Instruction Booklet, Sir Kibble is mentioned using a sword. He actually uses a cutter.
