Color: Difference between revisions

==Colors by title==

Before the introduction of [[Copy Ability]] hats, several abilities distinguished themselves in Kirby by changing his color. Many abilities, such as [[Needle]], [[Wheel]] and [[Stone]] change Kirby to a more orange hue, while [[Ice]] and [[Freeze]] change him to a light blue.

In both versions, enemies and [[Mid-Boss]]es can also come in several different colors. [[Waddle Dee]]s for instance, could be orange, blue, green, yellow, red, purple, or even monochrome. In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', these different enemy and Mid-Boss colorations are a result of palette limitations, but this is not the case for ''Nightmare in Dream Land''.

Enemies, Mid-Bosses, and even [[Boss]]es could also come in different shades and hues. A prime example of this is the [[Boss]] [[Chameleo Arm]], whose color is random each time Kirby encounters it. Kirby can also use the [[Paint]] ability to change Chameleo Arm's color mid-fight.

In addition to [[Meta Knight]], [[King Dedede]] and [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], secondary players can choose between a yellow, blue or green Kirby to accompany the standard pink Kirby, both in the main game and in Sub-Games.

Oddly enough, the indigo-colored Kirby is a dark blue color in promotional renders for the game, making it look closer to Meta Knight's coloration, despite being a much darker purplish color in-game.

In the Sub-Game [[Team Kirby Clash]] (and in the expanded spin-off ''[[Team Kirby Clash Deluxe]]''), four Kirbys make up a team of role-playing heroes. They come in pink, yellow, blue and green.

==Trivia==

*From ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' to ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', four-player multiplayer consistently used Kirbys colored in pink, yellow, red, and green. Starting in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', however, blue has been the consistent third color instead of red. This is likely because red is closer in shade to Kirby's default pink, while blue is more identifiable. ''Kirby Battle Royale'' notably lacks a red Kirby altogether, opting to use orange instead. ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' keeps the same pink-yellow-blue-green layout, but red is the first color to be unlocked, likely referencing its previous role.

*Two alternate colors of Kirby have official nicknames: '''[[Keeby]]''' is the yellow Kirby from ''Kirby's Dream Course'' (a pun on the Japanese word for "yellow"), and '''くさもちカービィ'''<ref name=ssb>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/ChrFrameLayout.html ''Super Smash Bros. (64)'' official website (JP) - Secrets of fighters' alternative colors]</ref> (''Kusa mochi'' Kirby) is the green Kirby from the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. ''[[wikipedia:Kusa mochi|Kusa mochi]]'' (literally "grass [[wikipedia:mochi|mochi]]") is a green Japanese sweet. Both of these names are used as the colors for the default yellow and green Kirbys in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'', though "''Kusa mochi'' Green" is translated into English as "Tea Green".

*In ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''{{'}}s internal files, unused data exists for a yellow recolor of Kirby, titled "Body_2P".<ref>[https://twitter.com/ObscureKirby/status/1499901373512626178 Obscure Kirby Media & Facts on Twitter]</ref>
