Minor Anniversaries

Since its inception during Kirby 25th Anniversary, the Kirby JP Twitter has released annual commemorative illustrations of Kirby's birthday parties. The series's 26th anniversary featured the notable rebranding of both the Twitter account and the Kirby Portal website away from celebrations of the 25th anniversary and toward a broader depiction of the franchise. The 28th and 29th anniversaries were commemorated with passwords for Super Kirby Clash, with the former revealing one in CoroCoro.
