Kirby is the titular and main character of Nintendo's Kirby series. He is a pink puffball with stubby hands and red feet. This appearance can be misleading as he is courageous and tough. He will stop at nothing to save his home planet, Pop Star, from its dastard King Dedede. Kirby's trademark move is to inhale an enemy and copy its powers.

Canonically Kirby has appeared in every Kirby game to date, appropriately as he is both the main protagonist and playable character of every game. Kirby has also appeared in various manners through cameos or as representation for his series (usually alongside fellow characters; Meta Knight and King Dedede) in the Super Smash Bros. Games.

Kirby Doom of Dreamland
In Kirby Doom of Dreamland, Kirby must save Dreamland from having been warped to a mysterious location in which a resurrected Zero warns Kirby that by trying to save Dreamland he will be destroyed. This game featured a more story driven aspect to the trilogy and also introduced the least abilities of the three.

By far the largest game of the trilogy, in Kirby Hero of Dreamland, Kirby, King Dedede and others fall into a new Mirror Dimension caused by the crossover of the shattered panes of glass of the Dimension Mirror.

In it Kirby comes face to face with most (aside from 02) of the True Antagonists from his games (excluding Spin-Offs) and must fight them in a style very similar to the True Arena or the Boss Endurance.

They prepare to fight him before Susie manages to convince them otherwise, making the argument that Kirby is so much stronger than everything on the Zoo and may serve as the only means to escape.
Kirby's strength in this game is accentuated by the sheer amount of powerful abilities he has at his disposal. Not only is the Robobot Armor back, but so is Hypernova from Triple Deluxe and the Super Abilities from Return to Dream Land. He doesn't fight alone though; using Dream Allies, which mostly consist of people Kirby has beaten in the past, he verges on unstoppable with the powers of Susie, Marx, and more.
