It should be noted that, willingly or not, Kirby often splits into multiple copies of himself; the most prominent example is when he performs his [[Kirby Dance|victory dance]] at the end of levels and stages. This trope goes all the way back to the original ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. These clones are produced just ahead of the dance and do not persist after the level or stage fades out. According to [[Masahiro Sakurai]], these clones exist "because it's more fun that way".<ref>{{Twitterlink|sora_sakurai|1386877766465949696}}</ref> | It should be noted that, willingly or not, Kirby often splits into multiple copies of himself; the most prominent example is when he performs his [[Kirby Dance|victory dance]] at the end of levels and stages.

Other examples of such ephemeral Kirby clones include the Kirbys that come pouring out of the cloud in the opening cutscene for [[Bubbly Clouds]] and the mysterious "Kirby-like creatures" seen in [[Mt. Dedede]] in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', the Kirbys operating the [[Goal Game]] cannon in [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]] from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', and instances of splitting Kirby into multiple copies for gameplay purposes, such as in ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'' and ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]''. In the case of ''Kirby's Dream Land'', Sakurai explains these instances of Kirby splitting up as simply part of "embracing the mystery" of Dream Land.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUY2AtBD6Sk&t=714s "Development Secrets of the Original Kirby" - Masahiro Sakurai on Creating Games]</ref> In '' | Other examples of such ephemeral Kirby clones include the Kirbys that come pouring out of the cloud in the opening cutscene for [[Bubbly Clouds]] and the mysterious "Kirby-like creatures" seen in [[Mt.
