Kirby

Kirby (カービィ, Kābī in Japan) is a pink puffball and the main protagonist of his own eponymous video gaming series by Nintendo. The series has been running for over two decades, and nearly thirty titles have been released under Kirby's name, most of which are developed by HAL Laboratory Inc. or published by HAL for co-developing studios.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) Kirby has been featured in his own anime series, many manga publications in several countries, and even an educational video co-starring Mario.
 * 2) He has his fair share in Nintendo's merchandising from all his appearances, although many of them are only released in Japan.
 * 3) He is one of Nintendo's most iconic characters and most appealing one at that.
 * 4) His amazing games that anyone can pick up and play, with absolutely beautiful and colorful graphics, gameplay, characterization, and music.
 * 5) He has a positive attitude, and helps to save Dream Land through the use of his unique powers.
 * 6) He is happy, polite, honest, jubilant, delighted, optimistic, cheerful, blameless, trustworthy, and innocent.
 * 7) He loves to eat, dance, defeat enemies, and play, especially during the day.
 * 8) His journeys have become more daunting as creatures like Dark Matter possess and control his friends against their will, but he still maintains a brave and cheerful personality despite it all, gaining new powers and allies to aid him.
 * 9) To defeat his foes, he uses his signature ability of inhaling large objects and spitting them out with great force.
 * 10) His side games have nice graphics and have unique concepts, such as splitting into 10 Kirbys, or becoming a ball that is controlled by a stylus and your touchscreen.
 * 11) He appeared in all 5 of the Smash games, where he is super strong and powerful.
 * 12) Three Words: His Copy Abilities. He is capable of copying others' powers. For example, he can throw bombs, breathe ice/fire, attack with an electric whip, have a sword, etc.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Kirby is practically an infant, so he still has a lot of things to learn.
 * 2) Kirby was badly flanderized in Kirby's Avalanche, becoming a rude and unlikable jerk (the first game where Kirby is portrayed in a negative light). Although, that game is non-canon since it was a reskin of Puyo Puyo.
 * 3) Kirby was badly flanderized in Kirby Squeak Squad, becoming a ruthless, bland and unlikable jerk. Thankfully, he redeemed himself after that game.
 * 4) While he is good in the Smash games, he was not that good in Melee, he initially became the lowest tiered character in Melee for that matter. Thankfully, that never happened again and he was buffed in Brawl and later games.
 * 5) *Speaking of which, he can be considered as overpowered in the Smash games, thus making him too hard to punish.
 * 6) While his Copy Abilities are awesome, some were bad or medocire, such as the infamous Sleep Ability, the Light Ability, the Mini Ability, etc.

Trivia

 * Kirby was first called Popopo, his original name, and his model was created as a blob placeholder sprite during the development of what would be the first Kirby game,
