Evolution of Kirby References in Other Games (1992 - 2021)

[@ShiromiGames]

Today we'll take a look at the evolution of Kirby References & Cameos. I hope you enjoy this new video and please comment your favorite reference! My favorite has to be Chopper with his little Kirby hat :)

[@sleepykirbyplays6323]

The second "cameo ia actually the first time kirby appears (Not in it's first game)

[@Cheesepuuf]

You missed the virtual boy one

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love these Kirby references!

[@link2125]

1:50 It's worth noting that this isn't the only Kirby palette in Skullgirls. With Annie's full release in July 2021, she actually recieved an alternate palette based on Meta Knight (with Sagan, her rabbit Parasite, colored pink to resemble Kirby himself)

[@magolor2706]

I miss the Box Boy comics, they were cool references and seeing other things in that style is really refreshing.

[@KirbyTG]

Oh hey Magolor

[@RayTheSnivy]

Kirby Chopper is perfection

[@thatonelad9416]

100% Tony Tony Chopper is easily the best character

[@abraindeadperson3236]

Pure ball to go with the pure boi

[@frost_angel7251]

I came for that too like i was "wait is that chopper?, IT IS" (i recognized him by the blue nose)

[@Mr.L2534]

My favorite videogame character of all time and my favorite One Piece character 🥰🥰🥰

[@AstroFellow]

TRUE!

[@TheRealSuperKirby]

I like how Qbby sees kirby as some sort of rival wanting to be like kirby and stuff, I'd love to see a secret boss fight against Qbby in forgotten land.

[@maximumforce8275]

It would be cool if he gave you his own special power to create blocks

[@gabrielcorreiadasilva2166]

[@Ziptie_real]

1:50 the fact that this version of big band is called "dream band" is why I adore him

[@KirbyKips]

I love that they had a Kirby outfit for Chopper

[@OmegaQuinn]

4:09 It just hit me that the first Super Mario Maker came out SEVEN YEARS AGO!

[@Riodile]

Btw, the Star Rod is also referenced in Mario Party 8. Even the boss fight where you have to use the Star Rod has you ride a star hoverboard, as if it's a Warp Star.

[@MattSayYay]

Fun fact, Arcana apparently released exactly 2 months before Kirby's Dream Land. So Kirby has the Sonic thing of debuting in a cameo in a completely unrelated game.

[@Jetbladewarrior]

Kirby is a cute character but he's dangerous so don't underestimate him😅😮.

[@EternalTheMandarinGoddess]

My favorite may just be the mii gear from mario kart! Finally, something my mii would actually wear if she participated in a race!

[@Pr0gr33wn]

6:49 an other Kirby even for Tetris 99 was the buffet one

[@AlexproF-nt5mx]

My favorite reference is star rod from Paper Mario, it's a nice reference :)

[@StoMoComedoPro]

Yeah, agreed, and I definitely like the Wooly World reference too, because it's funny, since Kriby Yoshi is just plain pink

[@Oroark5678]

Me Favorite Fire Ability

[@win18512]

mine is earthbound

[@Beulraeki]

You should include Geometry Dash, as there is a Kirby icon, as well as two Kirby-exclusive maps that are rated. (Halberd and Kirbys Adventure)

[@princeofdeadflowers183]

Omg really?? I didn't know this till now jskhkfhfh

[@siyahseeker]

0:03 Gordo is also the name of a character from Disney's Lizzie McGuire.

[@frenfudiz]

3:59 lololo and lalala boss 4:21 king dedede boss kirby super star virsion i think

[@mystic3790]

Seeing chopper with a Kirby had is on another level of adorable

[@frikimanhd4087]

chopper dressed as Kirby is the peak of cuteness, i bet robin died of diabetes just by seeing such sweetness

[@knightofarkronia8652]

Ironic, considering Chopper’s VA also voices Pikachu!

[@Waddle_Dee_With_Internet]

Fun fact: back last year, when one of screenshots in KZbin download page in App Store and Play Store, it features a Kirby video in it.

[@EvilReuniclusWalkthroughs]

Kirby and Dedede were also playable in a few Taiko no Tatsujin games along with a Dream Land Medley.

[@Mariofanmediacorner]

Kirby is so cute!

[@Fox_Squash]

I believe Annie has a Meta Knight coloration in Skull girls as well

[@Azteck9]

I didn't even recognize the first clip for Gordo. I though the reference was Mario floating like Kirby since he was underwater lol

[@floofycupkim1197]

1:50 Funniest random cameo ever

[@二次元大好きSCPニキ]

チョッパーの帽子の部分にさりげなくいると普通に笑う

[@ridleyformk1244]

0:40 Masterpiece of a game!

[@ellaalan01]

0:11 There is literally two kirbys

[@waddledeeboi9975]

Never thought I'd hear about box boy ever again I loved that game

[@baalfgames5318]

Transformed Tony: RAAAAWR!!! Also Transformed Tony: Hai thar!

[@flashsayian6745]

Ok so I think the star rod in paper Mario is kinda pushing it since it is a main part of the game and came from actual stars

[@elicenyne]

I think the Paper Mario Star Rod and the Kirby Star Rod are a coincidence.

[@condimentman9533]

So bowser went to dreamland to steal the star rod

[@Vincentboike-k4v]

The mystery mushroom from Mario maker 1 needs a comeback

[@jsn15family28]

Kirby and chopper is the ultimate cuteness

[@frenfudiz]

5:55 king dedede!?

[@TramiNguyen-oi3kp]

I love these Kirby references!

[@bubblewiz120]

Hello, Shiromi! Do you remember the Kirby cameo as a cursor from "EarthBound"? Could you make a video known as "Music Similarities: "Bad Ending" from Kirby's Block Ball and "Game Over" from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door"?

[@DanaTheNintendoLoverGirl2011]

I Like All Of Them! 💖💖💖

[@TheChompChamp7650]

0:43 Look what I stole from the fountain of dreams! It’s the star rod!

[@funwithchristina563]

Monster Point Chopper with the freaking Kirby hat omfg! 😂

[@knightofarkronia8652]

Kirby: Poyo! (Boy, there are sure a lot of references in this video!)

[@CricketTheAnnoyingBug]

Bandana waddle dee must be crying for his whole life

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Kirby!

[@Mudchuvee]

"Look what i stole from star haven!" More like "Look what i stole from kirb!"

[@hioman]

0:28 I forgot kirby originated as a placeholder sprite

[@dropfish3109]

?????????

[@Poyomini]

@@dropfish3109 During the early development of Kirby's Dreamland, they had a hard time figuring out a good design for the protagonist, so they created Kirby as a place holder. But every one loved the lil' place holder so much, that they decided he would be the perfect protagonist for the game. Thus, Kirby as a character was born. And for the BoxBoy series, the exact same thing happened for it's protagonist, funnily enough.

[@tracyndiyob162]

love super grand battle x is just kirby resting on chopper's head(could see that happening if they met.:3)even in monster point and the puzzle swap makes me really wish the switch brought it back.

[@classyghost_]

In case u weren’t aware, there’s also a kirby icon in Geometry Dash

[@оІІәН]

How king dedede looks in boxboy 8s just funny

[@BambiMinion]

Browser just randomly stole the star rod

[@AstroFellow]

I just can't help it I love Kirby :)

[@quintkaydo]

2:30 I WAN'T KILL HIIIIIIIIIM AGHHHHHHHHHHH

[@reedlingplayz3815]

Well i wouldn’t really say the Mario kart 8 one was a refrence because it’s a thing you get from Kirby amibo

[@briannageelhaar7503]

I Boxboy & Boxgirl could have Kirby costumes too.

[@Ooblue365]

Kirby Event in Tetris 99 is my favourite

[@kirby6804]

(kirby music intensifies)

[@badasscomputergaming1]

BRO SKULL GIRLS IS HERE WHOA I LOVE THIS MY BFF WILL LOVE IT!!!!

[@2dsdaalt]

Maybe kirby lives in the same universe with mario

[@StoMoComedoPro]

Bruh, in Wooly World, Kirby Yoshi is just plain pink, he/she may as well just be called Pink Yoshi. Also you forgot about those cute little Kirby-looking creatures in Yoshi's Island, you know? Those things that bounce back when one is jumped on?

So that makes since how the copy abiltys are made

[@Bob_ross_enjoyer]

You forgot a cameo it is in one of the comics in box boy + box girl and I’m sorry if I missed it if you put it in there

[@DarkGekkouga]

I would argue the vending machines in Astral Chain are probably a Kirby reference

[@Wiskdecreb]

You missed one (sort of). Kirby actually appeared in the Fortnite Party Royale trailer, but was blurred out in some versions due to copyright.

[@Green-Guyy]

You forgot the kirby hat from streetpass mii plaza

[@LilyPot187]

Miitopia? I'm sad now. My 3ds broke. :(
