History WMG / Kirby

[[WMG:The Moon Warriors were TheUsualAdversaries for the Ancients, with Nightmare as their leader.]]

This species, which I will call the Void for shorthand purposes. (Kirby is his/her/its name, not species). Each one of these are different stages in its life time. Kirby is a young child, his powers are unpredictable. When the Void grow up, they start to get comfortable with a form and master it, or become a jack-of-all-trades and keep their improvised ability. Meta Knight is a teenager/young adult who decided to take up the sword form. He is stronger than Kirby's Sword form. As the Void get older, their skills naturally improve. Galacta Knight represents being an older adult, and is considerably stronger than Meta Knight.\\

* [[VideoGame/{{Extermination}} The bacterial virus HO213 broke out in Fort Stewart within Antarctica that spread throughout the world via water and created a ZombieApocalypse while increasing Global Warming.]]

Meaning he's a good [[Creator/HPLovecraft Lovecraftian monster.]] Kirby is all-consuming, omnipotent (doesn't Kirby always beat the boss that had defeated entire worlds?), but omni-benevolent. [[Main/WhatMeasureIsANonCute Kirby appeals to our aesthetic sense in an innocent way]]. What does that sound like? Let's face it, Kirby is the [[Main/EvilTwin good twin]] to Hastur.

In Kirby's Dream Land 3, some levels have Kirby look-alikes called Batamon; we'll assume that's the name for Kirby's species. Now note that all Digimon have a name with the suffix "-mon". Kirby's enemy-eating ability, then, is an offshoot of the standard Digimon ability to grow stronger by absorbing the data of defeated opponents combined with the ability to change modes easily.

Proven in Kirby's Dream Land 3, where Samus Aran herself cameos near the end of the particular stage.

* The Kirby in [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] doesn't share this immunity, but it's only an action figure.

* If this really is so, then Kirby [[Main/NiceJobBreakingItHero helped with the extinction of a species]] much like his own (even if he did only kill 6). Remember -- the Metroids were created with good intentions. But they got a bad rep ([[HorrorHunger Not like their diet helped much. And Kirby's isn't much better.]]) and were annihilated by Samus. If Kirby were to get a similar reputation, then he better start avoiding Samus like the plague. Because he could be next.
** Also note that places/planets that Samus visits are prone to being destroyed. So if Kirby gets out of control, then it could also be [[Main/SayYourPrayers bye-bye Pop Star]].

The Deviljho needs to eat constantly due to its extremely high body heat and metabolism (explaining his huge appetite) and is powerful enough to hunt nearby species to extinction. It enters a rage state if it goes too long without food, hence why Kirby went on a rampage just to get his cake in Squeak Squad. Need I say more?

While Kirby and Meta Knight are clearly the same species, their mannerisms are completely different, and their flight powers work differently. This is actually because of the ability of Kirby's species to adapt to have similarities to the native lifeforms, and Meta Knight's egg landed on a completely different planet. While Kirby picked up how most life in Dreamland is friendly and food-loving, Meta Knight's homeland was probably filled with total edgelords, and Meta Knight acted similarly. They almost universally are good with technology -- Meta Knight's ship and Kirby's being able to slap together the Robobot Armor -- and can fly, although in different ways depending on their environment. They also might be a relative of [[Franchise/Pokemon Eevee]] by this theory's logic.

[[WMG:Meta Knight sealed Dark Nebula in that chest long before [[Videogame/KirbySqueakSquad Squeak Squad]].]]
Early in Meta Knight's career, he encountered a rouge piece of Dark Matter. This was before he had [[CoolSword Galaxia]], so he was only able to seal it inside a particularly large treasure chest aboard the Halberd. A bit before VideoGame/KirbysAdventure, King Dedede managed to swipe away some loot from the ship, including the one with Dark Nebula.

Meta Knight is pretty OOC in Revenge of Meta Knight, wanting to take over Dreamland. However, previously, in Kirby's Adventure, he was training Kirby to fight Nightmare later on. He even hands Kirby a sword before their battle, something he doesn't do when he's fighting seriously (compare this to Squeak Squad). Kirby just turned out to be too potent and ended up destroying the entire Halberd, something Meta Knight didn't anticipate. This made him proud and led him to the conclusion that Kirby didn't need any more training, which is why he never fought to train him again afterwards. He then spent the next couple of games (the Dark Matter-trilogy) fixing the Halberd down at the bottom of the Secret Sea. After that, his new mission is to become stronger himself, as seen in Meta Knightmare Ultra, as well as helping to keep peace in Dreamland.

In Kirby's Dreamland 3, the huge Dark Matter that Zero used to invade Pop Star broke the rings that circled it. After Zero is defeated, three rays of light (red, blue, and green) become the new rings for Pop Star. We've never seen these three rings ever again. Therefore, in every future Kirby game where Pop Star has two rings, Zero's invasion hasn't happened, yet.

The Japanese player's guide for Kirby's Dream Land 2 states that the Dark Matter from that game targeted Pop Star because it grew jealous of Dream Land's lifestyle and it was lonely due to the fact no one wanted to be its friend yet it says nothing about Zero's motives and since Gooey is a form of Dark Matter it's possible that the Dark Matter that attacked Dreamland isn't under Zero's control.

** We can assume that Kirby has stopped the famine since then, in the several endings where he gives the Dream Land residents food, but then again, you'd think that Kirby would be able to find another cake in Squeak Squad... Unless, of course, there's none left.

*** They're in ''Kirby and the Amazing Mirror'', actually, and they're called Leaps. Though I think they're also in Squeak Squad.

[[WMG:Popstar is a chaos world from TabletopGame/{{Warhammer 40000}}]]

Think about it. He assumes control of Dark Matter as its benefactor, seemingly coming from Dark Space which itself possesses various inhabitants and life forms from Pop Star and "augments" them to suit its needs (as in the case of King Dedede). This is proven in Kirby 64, where they processed living animals in the Shiver Star factory to create Miracle Matter (who also acts as another form of Dark Matter, and consequently Zero), similar to how the Collectors were harvesting humans to create a [[EldritchAbomination Human-Reaper]]. The Heart Rod and Power Crystal are seen as a threat to them, as they are the only artifacts that can effectively purge Dark Matter from living organisms without harming them. Also, Gooey is of the same kind as Dark Matter, but much like the Geth, Gooey is perhaps able to resist the "indoctrination" of his kind.

* Warp Stars have their own natural occurring [[MinovskyPhysics Element Zero]] properties, which explains how Kirby is able to hop from star to star in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' without a need of a Mass Relay. This also explains why Kirby prefers using Warps Stars to various fastidious [[CoolStarship Cool Starship]]s in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Brawl''.

[[WMG:The "Evil Eye" enemies from the Franchise/TouhouProject series are a form of Dark Matter.]]
Other then a similar outward appearance that normal evil eyes have to dark matter (being black spheres with a single eyeball), the extra boss of Touhou 2, Evil Eye Sigma, bears a significant resemblance to 0 itself, possessing a halo as well as two wings and tentacles at its base, and is fought in a featureless void similar to the Hyper Zone.

Now, more ''Great Cave Offensive'' stuff connects ''Kirby'' to other game series. ''The Great Cave Offensive'' proves that ''Zelda'' and ''Kirby'' are [[{{Pun}} linked]]. Ignoring Kirby's sword hat (which is likely a coincidence) we find the Triforce in ''The Great Cave Offensive''. Now, this is obviously a replica, given that touching the Triforce would grant Kirby's wish or something like that (it's confusing) but someone clearly had to know of the Triforce to make a replica. Therefor we can surmise that ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZelda'' is in the same universe as ''Kirby''. That also means ''Zelda'' and ''Metroid'' take place in the same universe.

[[WMG:The Metroids in Kirby's Dream Land 3 were brought to Popstar by the Space Pirates]]

Similar to the WMG before but in a different view. Notice how members of Kirby's species can suck up enemies and copy their powers? (This is evidenced by Kirby Air Ride, although it may not be considered canon since the game is a spin-off.) We've seen Meta Knight's face enough to conclude that he's the same race as Kirby. Yet his ability to copy powers isn't even mentioned in either the games or the anime. (Though, the anime has a different universe than the games.) My theory? He's an oddball of his race, as he can't copy abilities, much less suck enemies up. To compensate for this, he learned swordfighting. (Which can explain why he's associated with Blade and Sword Knights so much.)

[[WMG:The characters in the Kirby games are human.]]

* It is shown in Super Star that there are peaceful versions of the Kirby creatures that he does not fight and enemy versions that he does. He mostly sees the former only in cutscenes but so long as Waddle Dee of Crystal Shards remained in that group Kirby most likely left him alone.

When Kirby "eats" a foe, he is not killing them or digesting them in a traditional sense. His actions against them are merely an inconvenience to the poor creature. You see, after Kirby eats a foe, all it takes to make that character respawn is to leave the screen, and return to that spot. The enemy is there, good as new! Rather than being left inside his belly to be digested, these foes are immediately ejected in some unseen process. This troper makes the assumption that Kirby, and all "Kirbies", can either fully digest their intake, or eject it after absorbing whatever special properties they can take away from it. Besides the reappearing enemies, one other thing may corroborate this theory: In the Super Smash Bros games, when Kirby swallows an enemy, this is exactly what happens. The foe is pooted out and regains their full form instantly!

It'd be one thing if they were both bipedal robots who just happened to share the same Gold/Blue coloring scheme, but in Helper to Hero mode of Kirby Super Star Ultra, they both change their color palettes, and they both get the same new Silver/Red coloring!

* The fanfic FanFic/KnightErrant supports this theory.

If you look very carefully, you notice that Kirby has pink flaps for hands, Meta Knight has arms AND hands! This is especially noticeable in [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Brothers Brawl]] and Anime/KirbyRightBackAtYa

The anime suggest an alternate dimension, right? However, it also suggests a black hole as well, which is far more likely(black holes absorb matter and add it to their own; Kirby absorbs enemy matter and adds their power to his, allowing him to copy them). If he had a black hole in him, then it would constantly be stripping away his matter. It's been happening all his life, so Kirby doesn't notice. He inhales enemies to give the black hole something else to destroy. This explains his reaction to his cake getting stolen; he was probably at a critical state and was hanging on by a thread. Makes you "no-copy-abilities" players regret your play methods, doesn't it?

** probably a lot of inconsistencies but i would put kirby vs sectonia part 2 near part one wear it's kirby runs around and eats people [[ForTheEvulz for]] [[RonTheDeathEater shits and giggles.]] and checks on sectonia

[[WMG:K''irby Mass'' Attack is a DolledUpInstallment.]]

* ''Videogame/KirbyStarAllies'' has a mode called "Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!" which lets you play as both helpers ''and'' Bandana Waddle Dee. (Oh, and Meta Knight and Dedede as well.)

[[VideoGame/{{Metroid}} Samus]] shows up in ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand3'' as part of a heart star quest. This clearly connects ''Kirby'' to ''Metroid'', meaning they take place in the same universe. There's also the screw attack appearing in ''The Great Cave Offensive'', likely something Samus left behind by accident after she left Pop Star to continue her quest in ''VideoGame/MetroidSamusReturns'' to destroy all the metroids.

Considering that Morpho Knight replaced an overused boss archetype both times it appeared[[labelnote:Explanation *SPOILERS*]]Galacta Knight in Star Allies and Soul bosses in Forgotten Land[[/labelnote]], it seems like the logical conclusion that eventually in a future game he'll appear as the apparent BonusBoss who is an expy of Meta Knight, [[OncePerEpisode which has been a mainstay feature since Super Star Ultra much like Soul bosses]], only to be replaced with a completely new boss archetype or an UnexpectedCharacter.

* No, that's clearly a [[VideoGame/EarthBound Mr. Saturn]].

[[Kirby and the Knights are the four horseman of the apocalypse.]]

* This is good, but there are some [[CriticalResearchFailure errors]] regarding this theory:

* Kirby Squeak Squad: This must happen at least before Revenge of the King in Super Star Ultra, since Kirby still clearly has some kind of grudge against Dedede for the penguin king to automatically be his first suspect for the cake theft. Additionally some abilities have slightly more varied movesets, but not nearly as varied as in Super Star, suggesting that Kirby is training.

This is more of a meta take, but I feel like Hal Labs has been mapping out the Kirby lore since the the first few games, or at least since Dream Land 3. For instance, Gooey is said to be a piece of Dark Matter that [[HeelFaceTurn turned good]], how exactly that happened is never shown, but what ''is'' shown is that Gooey, a blob of not-so-Dark Matter, can use copy abilities, just like Kirby. So already, decades before Void made its debut, there was already a sort of vague connection between Kirby and the Dark Matter, we just didn’t think much of it since Gooey was basically just a Luigi-type character in that game. Marx Soul from Super Star Ultra is another example of this foreshadowing, the description says that he absorbed ''a'' Nova’s power, not ''the'' Nova’s power or even just Nova’s power, 8 years before Star Dream came along to show that there was in fact more than one Galactic Nova, and Magolor calls Novas clockwork stars. StarS, plural, 5 years before Planet Robobot came out. Then there’s the whole “Ancients” idea that’s been floating around since Return to Dreamland. 11 years before that in Kirby 64, we have Shiver Star, a frozen over planet that, even ignoring the similarities to Earth, was clearly inhabited at some point and abandoned, just like Egg Engines from Return to Dreamland, and just like the New World from Forgotten Land, both of which are places that were, or are thought to have been, inhabited by the Ancients. I don’t HAL Labs is just making up the lore as they go, they are deliberately setting up plot threads with each new game, leaving intentional plot holes, so that a later game can come in and fill the gaps.

* Another Waddle Dee put on a blue bandanna. [[NiceHat It's just an accessory]], after all. ''Any'' waddle dee ''could'' have put one on.

** The one Kirby fights [[KilledOffForReal actually dies]]; the one in the crowd is actually from the killed one's past. Crowd Bandanna Dee is actually there; being the version from that time. Heck, he might have even got the [[NiceHat bandanna]] idea right then. [[StableTimeLoop From himself]]!

** If you look at the [[http://www.spriters-resource.com/ds/kirbysqueaksquad/intro.png sprite sheet,]] a Waddle Dee took the cake. Waddle Dees are Dedede's minions. Technically, he DID take it.

This guy can suck up nearly anything and copy its powers, then use those powers against [[EldritchAbomination things that just shouldn't be]]. He's quite clearly an EldritchAbomination, and a very powerful one, after a HeelFaceTurn. For any other being not named [[{{God}} YHVH]], even the most badass of them, a Kirby game would more closely resemble ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'', [[UpToEleven but harder]]. Indeed, there's a reason the hero in ''VideoGame/YouHaveToBurnTheRope'' is so Kirby-like: that's Kirby, after swallowing Indiana Jones, going through a "normal" game.
