The series name of "Kirby" has a MD5 hash of <code>3882a94c64066370fa15aa4d8fec006b</code>, while the character name of "Kirby" has an essentially identical MD5 hash of <code>3882a94c64066370fa15aa4d8fec006b</code>. The likelihood of two completely random 128-bit hashes colliding is minuscule at 2<sup>-128</sup>, although for two MD5 hashes colliding accidentally this figure is only a lower bound due to the pseudo-randomness of hashing algorithms. Nonetheless, this hash comparison suggests that "Kirby" and "Kirby" are highly likely to be identical strings of characters, in turn rejecting with very high probability the hypothesis that Kirby is not the namesake of the ''Kirby'' series.</ref> of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]].<ref>Kirby was named before the series was: they changed his name from Popopo to Kirby (see: [[Kirby's Dream Land/development]])</ref> He<ref>Though Kirby is a gender-neutral character in Japanese (see [[Kirby's characteristics#Gender]]), he is referred to with masculine pronouns in nearly all English-language material (i.e. [https://archive.org/details/HDKDL1USCommercial/ the English commercial] for ''Kirby's Dream Land'': "He's Kirby, and he packs a mean bite."); the only exceptions thus far are [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ta51B9_O7xk official Play Nintendo videos] that refer to Kirby with [[wikipedia:Singular they|singular ''they'']] (i.e. "Kirby is a hungry hero who's famous for their ability to inhale almost anything that stands in their way!").

Whether this is the case is unclear based on the depiction of the sun and moon in [[Milky Way Wishes]], in which the sun and moon both appear to be satellites of Popstar.

Curiously, the same article notes the word's derivation from the Italian word ''ballone'', meaning "a large ball"; although Kirby is ball-like, Kirby is far from large. This key difference firmly establishes Kirby as merely ''like'' a balloon with a number of shared traits, rather than being an actual instance of a balloon.</ref> While Kirby has many ways to combat his foes, the most well-known by far is his ability to open his mouth<ref>The naming of [[Mouthful Mode]] as well as numerous other references strongly suggest that the opening located below Kirby's eyes is a mouth.

I have to! ''[...]'' What? You'll help me save everyone? That's great!

How do you feel about Kirby: Right Back at Ya?
I really love it!
I'm a fan, but I prefer the original Japanese version.
It could have been better.
It was an abomination we should all forget!
I have no strong feelings one way or the other.
I've never seen it.
I just want to see the results.

Featured Article
Anime Kirby Artwork.png

Kirby is featured as the main protagonist of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. He is an inexperienced Star Warrior, and is attempting to hone his skills after crash-landing in Dream Land. He is portrayed as more helpless than in the games, often running from danger rather than attempting to fight it, though this changes once he obtains a Copy Ability, becoming immensely powerful and performing feats that often dwarf his video game counterpart. His best friends are Tiff and Tuff, and Meta Knight acts as a type of mentor and guardian to the puffball. He is often antagonized by King Dedede and Escargoon.

We at WiKirby would like to share some tools that make your wiki-editing life easier. If you aren't currently using any of these, we recommend looking into them. All are free of charge, and easy to install or uninstall if desired.
  • Firefox Logo.png - Mozilla Firefox is WiKirby's recommended web browser. It allows you to download extensions which can make your wiki experience much more efficient. Download the latest version here.
  • Gimp Logo.png - GNU Image Manipulation Program (GIMP) is a highly useful image editing software. It may seem complex at first, but it is a robust toolkit that allows you to clean and crop images like a pro. Download the latest version here.
  • Paint Net Logo.png - Paint.NET is another very useful image editing software with features similar to GIMP, though not quite as bulky or dense. Paint.NET runs very quickly, and lets you get images cropped or otherwise fixed up in seconds. Download the latest version here.
  • PNGGauntlet for Windows, ImageOptim for Mac, and Trimage for Linux are programs that allow you to convert and optimize images with ease. This saves space on the wiki and makes things easier for other editors. See more details at their respective web links.
  • Discord logo.svg - Discord is a free, real-time chat service. WiKirby has its own Discord server which is used by our editors to communicate with each other, and for users to talk and share news, Kirby-related or otherwise. You can join by following this link: Shiver Star - WiKirby Discord. Please note that our Discord server has its own rules and policies; more information can be found here.
