Kirby Pupupu Train (星のカービィ プププトレイン, Hoshi no kābyi pupuputorein) is a series of real-world Kirby events themed around trains. The events happened yearly from 2016 to 2020, at various times in the year. Most of the events were located within Japan Rail stations, and featured train and Kirby themed merchandise for sale in person, as well as online. Since 2020, there have not been any events.
