Kirby is a small pink character of unknown origins. He is often seen riding Warp Stars and battling King Dedede. He has one big ability differentiating him from others, that being that he can suck up enemies and use one of their powers. Kirby is the main character of the series of the same name.
Characteristics
For a Nintendo character, Kirby is amongst the simplest in appearance. As nothing more than a short, pink, 8-inch tall, [citation needed] charismatic ball with red feet, Kirby uses the malleability and flexibility of his tuft-shaped body to establish his individuality and traverse the colorful, interactive landscapes around him. Kirby has little physical strength. However, his ability to steal his foes' characteristics, known as copy abilities, through ingestion adds quite the amount of physical, chemical, and/or electric power to his arsenal. Through these copy abilities, Kirby can inherit the power the enemy used before eaten. In earlier games, Kirby didn't undergo any physical changes upon receiving a copy ability, but Kirby Super Star gave Kirby a unique hat for almost every copy ability given. These hats have now become a staple for Kirby's copy abilities.

Kirby's Dream Land
Kirby makes his debut appearance in Kirby's Dream Land, where he clashes with his nemesis King Dedede for the first time in the series. The game depicts him as a young and agile boy who eagerly helps out his fellow Dream Landers in their crisis with King Dedede.[1] The mischievious king has not only stolen all the food in Dream Land, but also abducted the land's Sparkling Stars. Without further hestitation, Kirby sets out to travel through the four areas of King Dedede's realm, reclaim the Sparkling Stars from the kings vassals, defeat King Dedede, and give Dream Land its food and its Sparkling Stars back.
The boxart of Kirby's Dream Land depicts Kirby with white skin, as opposed to his trademark pink color. This is most likely due to the fact that Kirby's color scheme had not been finally decided. The game is also the first to mention Kirby's lack of singing talent, though it isn't as exaggerated as in later titles. In this game, the enemies explode from laughter at Kirby singing off key, as opposed to actually getting physically harmed from his songs.[2]
Kirby: Canvas Curse
In Kirby: Canvas Curse,an evil witch named Drawcia appears and tries to turn Dream Land into a portrait. Kirby goes after her to stop her, but ends up being pulled into her world and is turned into a ball. In this form, he can no longer fly, but can now use an attack known as a Dash Attack and can use this take an enemy's power. He can also ride lines created by the Magic Paintbrush.
Super Smash Bros. series
Kirby has appeared in every game of the Super Smash Bros. series, where he is joined by Meta Knight and King Dedede in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For his standard move, he can suck up and replace other characters' standard moves with it. His Final Smash is Cook Kirby, where he puts all nearby characters into a pot and starts cooking them. After he is done cooking, the enemies and some food items come out.
