19	* In ''Series/KamenRiderExAid'', Ex-Aid draws his power from a series of Platformer video games starring a protagonist calls Mighty. Among other famous platformer heroes that Mighty takes after, he seems to resemble Kirby the most, as he's pink and is said to grow stronger the more he eats. One game in the series, ''Maximum Mighty'', displays Mighty driving a mech suit with his face on it (and it gives Ex-Aid a similar set of PoweredArmor), not unlike ''VideoGame/KirbyPlanetRobobot''.

32	* The Japanese name of the Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Snorlax, Kabigon, is inspired by Kirby in a roundabout way. [[https://www.gameinformer.com/interview/2019/10/24/more-burning-questions-for-the-pokemon-series According to Junichi Masuda in a 2019 interview]], Snorlax is inspired by Creator/GameFreak employee Kōji Nishino, who was nicknamed "Kirby" (Japanese: カービィ ''Kābyi'') by the other staff thanks to his BigEater tendencies. Further evidence is [[https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Kabiin.jpg this piece of concept art]] which resembles Kirby, Nishino, and Snorlax all at once.

35	* Being another game series created by HAL Laboratory, ''VideoGame/BoxBoy'' features references to the Kirby series.
36	** One challenge in ''[=BoxBoy!=]'' has the score objects in the shape of Kirby.
