It's that loveable pink puffball, Kirby! He might not seem like much, but really, he's a tough character to deal with. Kirby has the ability to suck in his enemies and copy their powers. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Kirby is a strong, yet light character. Recently, a show on Fox was released, called Kirby: Right Back At Ya! This is the first of Nintendo's many steps which plan on getting Kirby near the popularity of Mario, Link, etc. A Game Boy Advance game starring the puffball is in the works, tentatively titled Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland. A Gamecube game is also in development.
Kirby's first game was on the Game Boy, called Kirby's Dream Land. He has starred in a number of games afterwards, like Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Block Ball, Kirby's Super Star (his best game, IMO) and Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. He was also the star of one of the most innovative games of all time, called Kirby's Tilt and Tumble, which uses Tilt Technology, so if you move your GBC right, so will the puffball. A Gamecube sequel/enhancement was shown a few years back, but it may have been a Tech Demo.
