Kirby

Does anyone else who grew up with Amazing Mirror still refer to Mr. Frosty as "Mr. Flosty" out of habit?

What does everyone think about Haltmann,Hyness,and Sectonia as characters?

Haltmann did nothing wrong.

I’ll let you guess how serious I am.

60 to 75% serious?

From less to more tragic: Hyness(Became insane and abusive, but he survived and was purified/redeemed), Sectonia(Too far gone, a mercy kill), Haltmann(That moment when his soul is deleted and realizes what went wrong, never realizing that her daughter was alive).

Playing Kirby and the Forgotten Land! I'm at the end of World 4. I heard how hard the Twin Frosty was gonna be ahead of time so I went in with Time Crash, and it worked!

I went from nearly getting my first death against Sillydillo to beating him with no damage!

....The trick was 'learning that i could guard and also dodge...I didn't know those buttons even did anything before the Sillydillo fight and had to look them up. (This is why we need instruction manuals!)

A strong pitch for Dana Snyder to voice King Dedede.

I beat Chaos Elfinis on my first try! It was dicey, but I completed Forgotten Land completely <3

Letting everyone know that today (at least where I live) it's Kirby's Birthday!

I wish a happy birthday to dat der Kirbeh.

What do you all think a Soul Forgo boss fight might have looked like? Sort of bugs me that this character was The Unfought.

It would've had different original attacks...unless the soul just turned into the full creature again.

Forgotten Land is at 7.52 million sold.

kirby hasn't really done anything this year, huh?

HAL's cookin' something, i can feel it.

Remakes of their 3DS games like Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot in the same Vein as Return to Dreamland Deluxe seem guaranteed, maybe Cross Gen with the Switch and it's successor, followed by a new Kirby game in the style of forgotten land on the next system is my prediction for Kirby.

There was a recent leak that suggests that Rainbow Curse might be coming to switch so there's a possibility of that.

That's awful.

It'd need to be handheld mode only.

I feel like if Nintendo decided to bring their games to PC that Rainbow Curse would be a great game to start with since I could see it working with a mouse.

Note: Before anyone brings it up. I know such a scenario is unlikely.

What does anyone who has seen the Kirby novels think of the changes of in the characters? The saw the Planet Robot one and Star Dream for some reason is a manipulator who tricked everyone from the begining.

Thanks for reminding me I need to continue translating Gourmet Mansion. That's the only Kirby novel I've read, but I can tell you my thoughts.

• Kirby is... well, he's Kirby! He's a sweet little kid with a ton of confidence, and I love his optimism. I also like that the writers aren't afraid to have him be immature and selfish sometimes. It gives him flaws to overcome, like any other kid. (He reads as autistic to me, which is nice.)
• Waddle Dee is fine. I don't like that he goes Out of Focus later on because he has to hold down the fort at Castle Dedede, but I appreciate him. He's like if Escargoon were made a little less slimy and became one of the heroes. The subtle snark is always funny.
• King Dedede is probably my favorite character just because of what a boisterous Narcissist he is. I write him with his "dub accent" when I'm translating the novels because I think that's an easy way to get his personality across to the reader. (Also, he crossdresses for whatever reason. Maybe the author thought he needed some charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent?)
• Meta Knight is more endearing in the novel than he is in the games to me. Kirby and Dedede are just so wacky and constantly at each other's throats that you find yourself sharing in his pain. Poor guy. He's just so done.

For those of you who have finished the novel, what do you think of Madame Parfaitsky? I want a garden like hers. I know it'd probably give me diabetes, but I still want it.

Fan translations of the novels exist.

Are there any tropers here who are very much part of the Furry Fandom that are a fan of Kirby and his games? Seriously, I don't get how Kirby himself gets into furry fanart while Dedede, the Squeak Squad, and the Beast Pack get shafted.

The developer of Kirby: Revenge of Dream Land, Lumi of the Stars, has a fursona IIRC. I don't know much about the overlap between Kirby and the furry fandom, but I have a Discord friend who has a bit of a... "fixation" on Fecto Elfilis. He even made "Fecto Twinkfilis" an emote on his server. Maybe Kirby's furry fanbase is made up of Elfilis simps?

No, Kirby himself shows up way more often than any other Kirby character. Fursona characters in fanart is slowly having plushies of the pink demon in their fanart, sitting there in the fursona's bedroom, judging my actions.
