+[[File:KDC Keeby sprite.png]] '''Keeby''' is the name of the yellow [[Kirby (species)|Kirby]] who serves as the second player character in ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]''. He initially wasn't properly named as such, as "Keeby" was originally an internal nickname given by the developers of the game to an otherwise unnamed yellow Kirby.<ref>{{cite book|quote=The development team nicknamed this character "Keeby," a play on words from the Japanese word for "yellow."|book=[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition|Kirby's Dream Collection]] booklet|publisher=Nintendo|page=24}}</ref> Keeby was properly named in a game for the first time in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]''.
-Keeby is bright yellow with large blue eyes and orange feet. Like Kirby, he is also able to obtain [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]], and plays exactly the same in every respect to his pink counterpart.
+Keeby is a bright yellow Kirby with dark yellow feet. In official artwork his feet are more orange, bearing a resemblance to the coloring Kirby gets with the [[Beam]] ability in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. Like Kirby, he is also able to obtain [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]], and plays exactly the same in every respect to his pink counterpart.
 ==Game appearances==
-Officially, Keeby only appears in ''Kirby's Dream Course'', but generic yellow Kirbys have made appearances in multiple other games. Some fans speculate that these appearances of Yellow Kirby are Keeby, but no official source has stated that to be the case. Keeby was only used internally as a nickname by the developers of ''Kirby's Dream Course'', and official material simply refers to him as a yellow Kirby. On the official website for the [[Nintendo 64]] ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', Masahiro Sakurai gives the same nickname to Kirby's yellow palette swap in said game.<ref name=ssb>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/Color.html ''Super Smash Bros. (64)'' official website (JP) - Secrets of fighters' alternative colors]</ref>
+Officially, Keeby only appears in ''Kirby's Dream Course'', but generic [[Color|yellow Kirbys]] have made appearances in multiple other games in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It has been speculated that these yellow Kirbys are actually Keeby, or that "Keeby" is a nickname for all yellow Kirbys, but no official source has stated that to be the case. Keeby was initially only used internally as a nickname by the developers of ''Kirby's Dream Course''; it is a portmanteau of Kirby's name with the Japanese word for "yellow", ''ki''. Supplementary material, such as the instruction manual, simply refers to him as a yellow Kirby.
-Notably, the name "Keeby Yellow" is used for the yellow [[Colors|color]] for Kirby in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', which marks the first time the name "Keeby" has actually been used in a game itself.
+On the official website for ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]], [[Masahiro Sakurai]] referred to Kirby's yellow palette swap in said game as "Keeby", and mentioned that it comes from ''Kirby's Dream Course''.<ref name=ssb>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/Color.html ''Super Smash Bros. (64)'' official website (JP) - Secrets of fighters' alternative colors]</ref> This was the first time this nickname was made public. Later, the ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'' booklet mentioned Keeby again, marking the first usage of the nickname in English material.
+Keeby appears, unnamed, as part of a [[Sticker (Kirby: Planet Robobot)|Sticker]] in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', Keeby appears on the "Kirby & Keeby" [[Character Treat]], and the name "Keeby Yellow" is used for the yellow [[color]] for Kirby. This marks the first time the name "Keeby" has actually been used in a game itself, and also is the first time Keeby's name has been translated into other languages besides English.
 ==Trivia==
 *Keeby's color scheme may be a reference to how [[mariowiki:Shigeru Miyamoto|Shigeru Miyamoto]] and other [[HAL Laboratory]] employees initially thought Kirby was yellow before seeing his color design.
-*The yellow hue is similar to [[Beam]] Kirby's appearance in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. However, Beam Kirby's feet are a pinker hue, whereas Keeby's are more orange.
