Kirby BLAST
, previously a Sprite Comic, is an Affectionate Parody Kirby fancomic, that details the adventures of Betty, a human girl who woke up one day as a puffball. Now, Betty is trying to get home, and seeks the help of Kirby, Meta Knight, and other characters in order to do so. It was created by SolaraHedgie and hosted on Smackjeeves.
The acronym is not to be confused with the other KB.
Kirby BLAST provides examples of:
- Alternative Character Interpretation: In-Universe, characters' personalities, such as Kirby's and Meta Knight's, are based on the author's head canons.
- Alt Text: It doesn't appear very much, but when it does it serves as as an explanation to something obscure, or is there mainly for humor.
- The Cameo: Dink, Dell and the un-named Waddle Dee are all other people's characters. Solara only has them in the comic to serve as minor, one-shot, characters.
- Determinator: Kirby refuses to give up or back down from a fight. This bites him in the ass when he goes against opponents he's outmatched against and gets his ass handed to him.
- Meaningful Name: Betty's name originates from one of Solara's many nicknames, since she was originally her Kirby-sona. She was later changed into a normal fan character, but her name remained the same.
- Power Limiter: Betty has a case of this with her powers, since she needs Kirby's ex-stars to actually gain her abilities. It gets Lampshaded by Master Fo at the end of Betty's training fight against Stephen.
- Scenery Porn: Solara has mentioned a few times that she loves how the backgrounds look in the handheld Kirby games.
- Tempting Fate: Kirby pulls this off in the third chapter.Kirby: The day you get me to do something like that, is the same day I paint myself blue and let mullet-head over here, call me 'pinky'. No way am I doing something like that!
- Trapped in Another World: Betty wakes up as a puffball on Popstar with no idea how she got there.
