The best thing about Kirby lore is just how consistent it is The latest game just established some extremely specific rules for how teleportation works in the kirby universe and looking back, every single enemy in the series follows them And also meta knight... Is meta knight's cape an ancient relic as well?

[@BaconNuke]

Can you elaborate on how every enemy uses it? Like I am pretty sure you are referring to either Forgotten Land or some extra lore from Dreamland Returns Deluxe.. but.. I do not remember stuff about teleportation.. only like.. universe travel or whatever

Exactly! Now we know (almost without a doubt) that every single star shaped portal created by ancient technology derives from Fecto Elfilis, including the master crown which I think is really cool in conjunction with all its other similarities. And how Hyness and Parallel Nightmare DON'T use star shaped portals and instead used regular circular portals. It's the little details that make me so happy about this franchise.

So to explain the Susie thing in Star Allies: it’s a translation error. In the original version (Japanese) her description says that she uses her father’s company to help people, rather than mechanize planets.

I think my favorite aspect of all this lore is that it ultimately does not affect Kirby or gameplay all that much. There may be a universe ending force of pure darkness corrupting the minds of countless people, but Kirby barely cares or even understands the deeper aspects of what's going on. As far as he's concerned, it's just another big baddy that's hurting his friends and getting in the way of naptime that needs to be stopped.

I’m glad you got to experience the craziness of Kirby lore! To clarify some of your questions: 6:55 Dark Matter left Ripple Star because Miracle Matter was defeated. Beat the boss, send the Dark Matter away. Also Ripple Star is not an Earth surrogate. Shiver Star is the closest to one we got (in the same game too!). 12:38 Yes, in a way! Paint is indeed involved. Moreso everything is transmutated into paint! 13:34 …jury’s still out on that one. 25:04 Haltmann Company took Dark Matter and Dreamstalk DNA to create the clones. 27:22 That was a translation error. Star Allies had a notoriously bad English localization. She’s a much better person now. 33:08 This is just a theory. While the implication is there, there is plenty of evidence to debunk it. A cut art piece from the game shows what happened to Void, Meta Knight is basically a Kirby, Kirby isn’t a 100% positive being, and the reason why Void looked like Kirby could be because Kirby was nearby and influenced Void, not because Void is Kirby. The theory is contentious and will remain as such until a game comes out to clarify things.

[@blast__zone]

1:50 "Is he really that powerful" is the first indicator somebody knows nothing about Kirby lore

[@blast__zone]

I just want to mention, as I am not sure if it's mentioned fully in the video or not, Void Termina is canonically stated in the menu screens that he is the God of Death, and Kirby is another version of Void except reincarnated (Probably, I saw theories that Void just copies the state of whatever releases it wants to be, such as Hyness wishing it is the key to all Dark Matter. I personally don't believe it though, but idk.). Anyways, that means Kirby is (Most likely) the reincarnation of a literal god. Just thought I should say that.

[@ronierodanny8454]

Green Greens has always been the most iconic song in all of Kirby, in every game we hear a new version or another arrangement of it, so we associate it with the pink ball. Astral birth is in the hard mode of star alies it is a white version of void. It is during this fight, when we lower the boss bar to half that a piano begins to be heard, a very sad version of Green Greens, and thus we remember that at this moment we are not only fighting a great evil, we are fighting an unfortunate entity, instead of love they gave him hate, instead of friendship he found coldness. and it is at the end in his defeat that he smiles as he disappears. Rest in peace Void, let's hope that in your next birth you will be happy.

[@ninjapotatolorf6237]

Since everyone's talking about the translation error regarding Susie in Star Allies, I'm instead going to answer your other question about how Magolor survived being taken over by the Master Crown. Believe it or not, this was only recently answered in the new remake of Return to Dreamland. Basically he, much like young Susie, also ends up being warped into another dimension, being stripped of his powers in the process and forced to slowly build them back up if he wants to survive. While there, he ends up confronting the remnant shards of the Master Crown, and upon their defeat, he's able to leave that dimension. Weirdly enough though, he ends up in Team Kirby Clash, a Kirby spinoff game that plays kinda like an rpg-styled boss rush. Not quite sure how he ends up back in the main story’s universe by the time of Star Allies, but maybe that'll be answered eventually.

[@sarafontanini7051]

kirby wasn't intentionally trying t summon a nightmare demon. you see dedede stole a thing that powers a thing that gives everyone dreams and everyone was being plagued by bad dreams, with kirby assuming this happened cause of dedede stealing the thing. However, Dedede that to keep the nghtmare demon sealed in the dream fountain, which was the actual cause behind the bad dreams. However, kirby, nt knowing this, puts the thing back in the fountain and free Nigthtmare. Kirby then kills Nightmare and stops his evil rampage.

[@alejjtheninja5803]

With Susie rebuilding her father's company, that was actually a mistranslation, a problem that permeates throughout Star Allies and messes up a good bit of lore. The RPG Monger made a follow-up video (based on the new release) that addresses that. From what I remember Susie takes over the company and works to either _reverse_ her father actions by demechanising the planets, or simply reverting to a simple robotics company and creating machines to aid other people.

I love these games. The gameplay is fun, can be challenging, it's a cute world, but also it has dark stories and epic lore. Definitely a step up from just Mario saving peach from bowser over and over again in my opinion. Some people prefer the simplicity of Mario. Kirby is simple but can be complex depending how far you'll play through the game.

[@endernightblade1958]

fun fact: there’s an alternate dimension in kirby called “Another Dimension”, and from what i can gather it’s basically either a space between dimensions or an actual dimension in itself. and it is *messed up*.

[@pearlplayaa]

There's a follow up video that they made after the most recent non-remake kirby game, which covers all the new stuff it added! It also explains some stuff that was off in this one

[@MasacoMike]

I recommend at least playing one Kirby game afterwards! The games aren't hard (unless you attempt the arenas) and you don't really need to worry TOO much about the lore to enjoy them, and you can get a general grasp on how Kirby games' stories progress! (Usually follows as such: Kirby having a good day just enjoying himself -> Something disturbs the peace -> Kirby forced to deal with the threat -> Kirby kills the eldritch horror at the end of the game) I HIGHLY recommend Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe, since it's a remake of the Kirby game on the Wii that introduces a LOT of people into the franchise (which is me, I'm biased lol). Either that or Kirby Super Star Ultra, since it's a lot Kirby fan's favorite one!

small correction: it's not Mark, it's Marx. There are, however, random enemies in the series with names like Joe.

Welcome to the Kirby lore where we have an unhealthy amount of lore about eyes, eldricht creatures, a butterfly (who reached the canon universe), christanity references, gods, eyes, eye balls, alternative non-canon timelines and universes, positive and negative energy/vibes, eyes and more stuff which can short-circuit one's brain. What a fun. And if a new games come out, prepare to order the entire lore and add even more stuff on the pile while mostly changing a lot of things in the process. Let's just hope Kirby never gets a game about actual time travel and timeline shenanigans otherwise some people become brain dead.

[@ravethehero]

[@MoochMoment]

Forgotten Land also goes pretty hard near the end and I still dont fully understand what the hell happened there but the final boss was cool so whatever lol

[@iantaakalla8180]

For some reason, F-86 (Fecto Elfilis) was a destroyer of planets, and strolled upon the New World. Its inhabitants captured it and studied it to learn how to make warping technology so they could escape Fecto Elfilis. At some point, Elfilis split itself into Elfilis and Elfilin, and plotted to escape its capture by mind-controlling the animals on the New World. After Leon’s defeat (which was garnered by the animals stealing Elfilin), Elfilis got impatient, broke out of its cage, absorbed Leon and a good amount of the Beast Pack, and became Fecto Forgo. Fecto Forgo succeeded in absorbing Elfilin, making Fecto Elfilis. This form lasts until Kirby uses Dome Mouth mode to extract Elfilin. Elfilis is falling apart and wishes to destroy the New World and summons Pop Star to crash onto the New World. But as Elfilis’s form is weakening, Kirby takes a truck, drives across falling buildings from Pop Star’s New World’s fallout, and rams it into Elfilis while being empowered by Elfilin, and Elfilis’s physical form is gone. This also may indicate that the particularly nonsensical world Kirby lives in is just a dream world of Elfilis.

A truly spectacular moment in Kirby history.

[@DaNintendude]

Mario, Kirby, and Smash Bros are all separste universes, completely unrelated to each other. Kirby has some references to Smash Bros and Mario, but they're more like fun nods and cameos than anything actually linking their universes together. The most recent new game shows us where the ancients originated from, and has a lot of interesting implications about many things we've seen across the series. The recent Return to Dream Land remake has a bonus mode that shows how Magolor survived after he was defeated, which is all sorts of crazy.

[@97dusk]

Oh man, if you thought what happened in Return to Dreamland was crazy, just wait til you see what happened in the remake. It explains how Magolor survived, but he also had to fight what was essentially a biblically accurate tree (courtesy of the Master Crown's fragments). The jukebox also features a dedicated track titled "Free...Me...Kirby...", which is a distorted scream from the True Arena version of Magolor Soul, so, there's that.

Yes Kirby is a being that has the ability to copy anyone’s powers and has the ability to take on any power he wishes if he can suck it up, he has hundreds of forms and can even take peoples powers as shown in smash brothers, he is literally infinitely powerful and the funny thing is, is that Kirby is canonly a child, he is a baby and dosnt really know what he’s doing, so if he is this powerful now, think of how much more powerful he will get whenever he grows up

Yo Matthew! If you really want a detailed explanation on Kirby lore that goes into the games and how they fit together in the lore, I highly recommend checking out Tspro's video: "The Kirby Lore Explained by an Idiot". It's about an hour long, but it goes through everything in the mainline games.

[@Hollowlock]

Always hilarious seeing someone realize that Kirby is extremely dark. The whole point of this series is being accessible enough for beginner gamers to get into it, while having enough depth for hardcore gamers to love it. The lore reflects this. You have to search for the darkness in most games, it’s there for those who care about it. But for people who just wanna watch the cute ‘lil guy go, that is absolutely an option.

[@solaris9426]

Fun fact: It was actually the gruesome and bloody nature of Zero's fight that caused Kirby's Dreamland 3's ESRB rating to be changed for K-A (the E of the 90s) to E10+ when it was rereleased on the Switch.

Ah… Kirby lore. When the most wholesome depiction of true friendship in all of media fights against the most pure and horrifying depiction of anger, sorrow and pain in all of media. Rated E for everyone! Also this video was released before the latest Kirby games that added even more lore. It’s possible that The ancients themselves were actually humanity Who used the power of the ultimate lifeform to hop dimensions. And the multiverse exists now because Magolor repented for his sins by killing the tree from the garden of Eden. So that’s fun. If you want to start playing a Kirby game or react to the music, Kirby and the forgotten land is the best place to start

[@KirbyMasterArchives]

Even more has been added to this with Forgotten Land and Magolor’s Epilogue

It's always the cute and innocent looking video game icons that have stuff right out of 18+ rated games. (Like, Kirby obviously, but have yall seen some of Sonics stuff???)

[@possessedpicklejar4762]

Yes, Kirby is canonically the most powerful Nintendo character. Cracking his own planet in half with one blow isn’t even his strongest feat anymore.

[@onilink134]

He baseball-batted meteors several thousand lightyears away in literal seconds. He hit them so hard they went thousands of times the speed of light. Kirby be scary.

[@possessedpicklejar4762]

@@onilink134 yeah, that’s the one I was thinking of, but I didn’t quite know how to put it into the right words to convey how ridiculously strong of a feat that is.

[@LycanMOON]

Though I don't personally like this video for Kirby lore it's a good way to get into the series

[@inky3575]

There's a chance other people wrote this already, but we've gotten a few more games since that video, so allow me to write a little essay: First, susie's description in star allies is a translation error. She isn't mechanizing planets. Second, we've gotten a remake of return to dreamland, which includes a mode that shows what happened to magolor after kirby defeats him. Basically, after being defeated, magolor gets sucked into another dimension(yeah, that's the name: Another Dimension. Magolor goes there, hyness and the sisters get sucked in there too in star allies, it's where susie was presumably sent to after the accident, etc.). In Another Dimension, magolor, having lost all of his strength, goes to regain it, while collecting pieces of a large crystal apple. After collecting it all, the apple becomes consumed and possessed by the remains of the master crown, transforming into a giant demonic tree - the "Tree Crown Without a Ruler". Magolor defeats it, and a portal opens up. Magolor goes through, taking a seed of the tree along with him. He lands in the dimension of the Kirby Clash series of games, where he serves as a merchant. Finally, we have Kirby and the Forgotten Land. Oh, boy. It was another peaceful day in Dream Land, when a mysterious vortex appears in the sky, sucking in everyone who lives in Dream Land through Another Dimension(the place) and into another dimension(literally). Kirby gets sucked in as well, his body changing a little in the journey. He lands in a mysterious new place, where he finds out he can put objects much larger than him(like cars, for instance) in his mouth to use them for himself(for instance, kirby puts a car in his mouth, he can now drive the car while it's in there. This is called Mouthful Mode.). Kirby sees that his fellow waddle dees are getting captured and sent away by other furry creatures. Only managing to rescue a being named Elfilin, who partners up with Kirby to rescue the waddle dees. Not much happens now. Kirby goes through an abandoned town, a beach, and a theme park, defeating members of the game's antagonists, the Beast Pack, and rescuing waddle dees. Kirby arrives at a snowy town area, where he encounters King Dedede, who seems to have joined the beast pack himself. Kirby defeats him, but dedede gets back up, and kidnaps Elfilin. Kirby goes to rescue his friends, and reaches the final area, a volcano, where he fights the members of the beast pack again, as well as king dedede, who kirby defeats, and frees him from the force controlling him, leaving dedede to keep the beast pack busy while he goes to find Elfilin. Kirby arrives at a place called Lab Discovera, and going up a tour elevator, a voice narrates some backstory: A long time ago, a being known as the ultimate life form, IDF-86, arrives at the world, going on a rampage. The inhabitants just barely manage to capture IDF-86, the being getting split in two, with one half remaining captured, and the other escaping, never to be found, while IDF-86 was put behind glass on display, the inhabitants using its power to travel through space-time. Kirby reaches the top floor, where he encounters the leader of the Beast Pack, Leongar, who explains some more backstory. Apparently, the old civilization who lived there, used the power of IDF-86 to escape the world into "a land of dreams", leaving all of the animals behind, and leaving all of the animals very mad about being abandoned, resulting in the beast pack being formed. The other half of IDF-86 is revealed to be Elfilin, who Leongar intends to fuse with IDF-86 to recomplete the being and restore its full power. Kirby defeats Leongar and rescues Elfilin, but it's not done yet. Leongar is revealed to be possesed by IDF-86, whose true name turns out to be Fecto Forgo. Fecto Forgo used Leon's influence and its own powers to attempt to fuse itself and Elfilin back together, kidnapping the waddle dees from Dream Land so they could be used as a power source. Anyway, Fecto Forgo manages to break out, merging itself with elfilin to fuse back together into the ultimate life form: Fecto Elfilis. Kirby fights it, releasing elfilin in the process. Fecto Forgo, in one last act of desparation, opens a massive portal to planet popstar, intending to make kirby's home world collide with this one to destroy them both. However, kirby uses Mouthful mode on a nearby big rig and runs over Fecto Forgo, defeating it and going through the portal to popstar in the process. Now back in Dream Land, Elfilin is forced to leave kirby in order to use its power to close the portal and prevent the worlds from colliding. Though, that's not for long, as Elfilin then opens up another smaller portal, allowing kirby to reunite with his friends, and that's where the main story ends. However, there's still the postgame. Leon is still missing after the battle, and it turns out he is stuck in a nightmare realm, which Fecto Forgo's memory created and retreated to after its defeat, taking leon along. Kirby goes to rescue Leon, fighting powered up versions of the beast pack created by fecto forg and collecting pieces of Leon's soul in the process. Arriving at the place where leon is, kirby is forced to fight the possesed beast king, and after defeating it, Fecto Forgo's soul leaves Leon's body, intending to fight kirby by itself.... .....before a small, orange butterfly enters the room. It lands on fecto forgo's soul, absorbing its power, and becoming Morpho Knight(we've seen him before in star allies, but that was a what-if mode. Morpho Knight only became canon here.). Kirby fights morpho knight, and defeats him, releasing fecto forgo's soul in the process, which escapes, taking morpho's power along. But it's not over yet! Fecto Forgo takes over the Arena in the game's hub world, using Morpho Knight's power to become Chaos Elfilis. Kirby defeats it, and the last remnant of its soul goes to elfilin, who accepts forgo into his heart, the two halves finally merging for good(don't worry it's a good thing). And here we are! That's all of kirby lore as far as I know. There's some stuff I missed like Aeon Hero, but I don't think it's worth explaining just yet, since we barely know much about them aside from them definitely being galacta knight. Also, I wrote most of this from how I remember the plot, so if I missed anything/got anything wrong, please correct me!

[@marche800]

Kirby's Universe is in no way connected to Mario's by the way. The only cross-over is through Smash Bros, which is basically a what-if scenario. All the characters in that are toys or trophies come to life

[@bodyofwater99]

In my opinion, the best Kirby lore videos are the ones by woolieVS

[@Diego13303]

This is the first video of yours that I see, but I really enjoyed it! I love Kirby so seeing people react to the series is always very fun, and you chose what is probably the best lore recap out there (or at least the best one I´ve seen. RPGMonger is great) The video only covered the games until Star Allies, so if you´d like to get into the series, I´d definetly reccomend picking up Forgotten Land! It´s a phenomenal game and the first mainline game to come after the ones covered in the video

[@flameloude]

What's funnier is that this is just a general over view of the lore. The details of the story in the games themselves are also fun.

[@arlofennekku]

early gang, haha! loved watching you go through the lore of the lil puffball!

[@saltycheeseitz]

kirby always starts his quests because someone stole his cake saving the world is just accidental

[@koolkaden2832]

They explained how magolor survived in the remake of return to dreamland

[@tatsusasaki7911]

4:41 that's Wispy Woods, he's the first boss you fight in most of the games excluding battle royale, Forgotten land, and I think super Kirby Clash although I only played that game for exactly 2 hours. Also fun fact, I would like to point this out even if it is not canon but apparently in the "World Of Light" trailer, Kirby was the only survivor, also the thing he rides on can go light speed. Also not only is Kirby a literal god baby but he's a godslayer. Also fun fact Kirby is really strong as in Star Allies in one of the minigames let's just say he hits a meteor with a baseball bat sending it 9999 light years which is almost two times light speed and the thing crashes planets.
