Editing Minor characters

{{rewrite|See the talk page, this article needs to decide what its scope actually is.}}
A '''minor character''' is a [[character]] who, while having a more significant role than simply being an [[enemy]] or cameo appearance, is still not a major part of the main story. There are many minor characters in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], and their roles typically include appearing in [[cutscene]]s, having dialogue, or even being playable, though only in [[multiplayer]] modes or [[Sub-Game]]s.

==List of minor characters by game==
The following list covers all minor characters by game, though it should be noted that some characters on this list play more significant roles in other games. It should be noted that this list will not cover characters who appear from other video game franchises or media. Those characters are mentioned on the [[List of references in the Kirby series]] page instead. This list will also not cover audiences or crowds, as they also qualify as cameo appearances:

===Unillustrated===
The following are minor characters in the ''Kirby'' novel series who do not receive illustrations, and therefore lack much detail:

*'''[[Mrs. Parfaitski]]'s chefs''' — A large group of top-class chefs who were hired to cook for Mrs. Parfaitski for her birthday celebration in the ''[[Kirby and the Dangerous Gourmet Mansion?!]]'' volume. They end up locked away by her due to her dissatisfaction with their cooking, but eventually are freed. The only one named out of these and shown in an illustration is [[Chef Kawasaki (novel character)|Chef Kawasaki]], who is not considered a minor character.

*'''[[Mr. Tick-Tock]]''' — Mr. Tick-Tock very briefly appears as a cameo in the ''[[Kirby and the Big Panic in Gloomy Woods!]]'' volume as a resident of [[Dream Land]].

*'''The master''' — An ancient rumored beast who was greatly feared and supposedly guarded the sacred [[Stardust Fruit|Stardust Crystal]] within the [[Gloomy Woods]] area of [[Dream Land]]. Before his abrupt disappearance, the sound of a bell would resound in the woods upon his awakening. He is mentioned in the ''[[Kirby and the Big Panic in Gloomy Woods!]]'' volume, primarily by the [[Woodkeeper]] who continuously frets about him, but he does not physically appear.

*'''Cake shop employee''' — An employee at one of [[Chiffon Star]]'s many cake shops in ''[[Kirby: Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess]]''. He greets [[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]] and co. when they come to search for [[Princess Marona]]. She and [[Baron Gallic]] conveniently come in, and Gallic hypnotizes everyone in the shop with his [[Malice Stone]]. When Marona starts throwing cakes, the employee is brought back to his senses when he tastes whipped cream from it. This makes Meta Knight realize that the stone's spell can be broken when its victims think of what they love most.

*'''Waiting maid''' — [[Princess Marona]]'s maid-in-waiting from ''[[Kirby: Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess]]''. She is an emotional lady who gives Meta Knight an co. crucial details about the princess' whereabouts. She then starts angrily badmouthing her sister, until Meta Knight reminds her of how she bonded with her sister in the past. She realizes that she was hypnotized by [[Baron Gallic]]'s [[Malice Stone]]. The maid and her sister reconcile after this, and remain on good terms. At the end of the story, she scolds Princess Marona for bad manners, but everyone else is just glad that the princess is being herself again.

*'''Apprentice waiting maid''' — The maid-in-waiting's younger sister from ''[[Kirby: Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess]]''. She is much more laid-back than her sister. After the two of them reconcile, they discuss with Meta Knight where Gallic and Marona's next target might be. They go on and on about all the delicious cake shops. An explosion is suddenly heard in the nearby Royal Cake Factory, which Meta Knight and co. head to investigate immediately. At the end of the story, when the waiting maid scolds Princess Marona's bad manners, the apprentice maid says she prefers the princess being more comfortable around everyone.

*'''Chief of the fruitcake department''' — The chief of the fruitcake department at [[Chiffon Star]]'s Royal Cake Factory in ''[[Kirby: Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess]]''. When an explosion occurs in the factory, everybody evacuates except for him. He is extremely dedicated to his job of baking fruitcakes, and insists on staying inside to finish his work. Meta Knight finds the chief when he goes into the factory to investigate what caused the explosion.

*'''[[Frost Kibble Blade]]''' — It is the second monster Team Kirby fights in ''[[Kirby: Super Team Kirby's Big Battle!]]'' at the Seaside and does not re-appear again after its defeat.

*'''[[Pyribbit]]''' — He is the third monster Team Kirby fights in ''[[Kirby: Super Team Kirby's Big Battle!]]'' at the Volcano and does not re-appear again after his defeat.

*'''[[Spark Bonkers]]''' — One of five monsters that lay waste to the Port Village in ''[[Kirby: Super Team Kirby's Big Battle!]]''.

*'''[[Ice Dragon]]''' — One of five monsters that lay waste to the Port Village in ''[[Kirby: Super Team Kirby's Big Battle!]]''.

*'''[[King Doo]]''' — One of five monsters that lay waste to the Port Village in ''[[Kirby: Super Team Kirby's Big Battle!]]''.

*'''[[Colossal Kabu]]''' — One of five monsters that lay waste to the Port Village in ''[[Kirby: Super Team Kirby's Big Battle!]]''.

*'''[[Mr. Floaty]]''' — In ''[[Kirby: Super Team Kirby's Big Battle!]]'', shortly after Team Kirby leaves the Port Village, they encounter Mr. Floaty at the Seaside and quickly defeat him.

==Minor characters in other media==
The following are characters that make a one-time appearance in much smaller forms of ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' media, such as promotional material.

===Dashing Superguy===
[[File:Dashing Superguy.png|thumb|150px|Dashing Superguy]]
'''Dashing Superguy''' is a large and muscular man who makes his only appearance in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFIsNGq0cgI American commercial] for ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''.

In the commercial, he is compared to [[Kirby]] in what appears to be a contest for who is stronger. Dashing Superguy is described to have big hair, muscles, and weapons, which Kirby lacks. The commercial then emphasizes that Kirby's main method of defense is eating his enemies, which he demonstrates by grotesquely [[Inhale|inhaling]] Dashing Superguy, and spitting him out as a cartoonishly mushy, floating head. Dashing Superguy is last seen holding the [[Game Boy]] up at the end of the commercial.

===Puppy and its mom===
[[File:MKMV VHS tea party.png|left|thumb|150px]]
The '''puppy and its mom''' are characters that appear in the ''Kirby'' segment of the [[Mario Kirby Masterpiece Video]]. In the beginning, Kirby finds a small dog who has lost his mother. Kirby sets off to help the dog, coming across a girl, a bug, and the moon, which tells him that [[King Dedede]] might have the dog's mother. After going to [[Castle Dedede|Dedede's Castle]], he finds Dedede, who is just putting a bandage on the mother's paw. Mother and son are reunited and the four of them have a tea party together.
