#Kirby #Lore #TheRpgMonger
I'm back! Sorry about the super inconsistent upload schedule, from having surgery in January to canceling a video I was going to make in February, it's been a hectic 2019 so far for me. So hey, what better way to get back on track KZhead-wise than with rambling about Kirby lore for an extended period of time. Hope you all enjoy it! (And oops my bad, just realized I said Meta Knight was first playable in Super Star Ultra rather than Nightmare in Dreamland. I honestly don't know how I missed that.)
The Rpg Monger for a moment I forgot I was subscribed to you
The Rpg Monger take your time and get better! While you’re recovering any chance for a video about the Pewdiepie fan base vs the T-series fan base?
The Rpg Monger great
I feel like you should have mentioned that when hyness was restoring the hearth, it seems he was only collecting the dark hearths, and not the nice looking ones, like the one that landed on kirby. Which could be an explanation to why void termina was so negative
Are you okay?
Now we know why King Dedede is such a glutton: He's eating to forget all the traumatic nonsense he's been through and that his planet could literally be devoured by cosmic horrors at any given moment.
He has Dededepression and PTSDedede
Dedede can destroy planets though
@@antimatter3084 and yet, he cannot destroy the fear that brings his nightmares.
Woah
@@NimhLabs Not having a monster to clobber that there Kirby
I love how the threats ramp up, at first it’s “that rascal, King Dedede is stealing all our food” to “all organic life in the universe is going to be destroyed”
Is Kirby a shounen anime?

What's funny is that it apparently never was because they were **lazy** ; like, he wasn't being an unhinged Sportacus It all was thanks to him fearing that putting all the work on Kirby could be kind of counterproductive on the long road Depending too much on Kirby's power could end up causing a catastrophe in case Kirby wasn't around to fight, because most of the inhabitants of Dreamland up to that point couldn't stand a chance in case another Nightmare or Dark Matter (alone) took over. Not even DeDeDe, who was really strong, or him combined could make a fair fight against those monsters. So what did he do? Talk about it? Comment it to DeDeDe (who already was on his way to reform himself and had tried to protect Dreamland with the whole deal of the Star Rod)? Make an announcement? Tell Kirb about it? Nah m8, an invasion seemed like the best option Pretty stupid, I know But yeah, seriously, he only wanted to help Dreamland become stronger and protect it's citizens And after all, he was pretty right all along about changing Dreamland's ways. When Planet Robobot came around, and the Haltmann invasion started while Kirby was asleep (who surprisingly slept through the whole ordeal... it must have been a pretty deep slumber if you ask me); no one could escape it and fight it back. DeDeDe and his Waddle Dees efforts were futile, and Meta's Halberd perished in no less than five minutes without attacking even once. They hadn't had to face any serious trouble without Kirby's immediate help up to that point (of course, the only exception being the Amazing Mirror, but it was a immediate threat in the Mirror World, not in Dreamland). And they still haven't had another instance like that one again. But who knows what the future will depart. Perhaps even one day they might have to fight Kirby himself. And as they are now, they will never stand a chance against it.

i love how hal labs literally conditioned us to piss ourselves over a single fucking butterfly
A super boss we’ve seen to be a strong fighter, evaporated from this random orange butterfly just… landing on him. So YES, we piss ourselves over that.
@@yoshi_705 well yea. I pissed myself too. I'm conditioned by the orange butterfly
Pavlov’s orange butterfly
@@yoshi_705 not to mention that super boss is supposed the be the strongest mortal being in the universe and the butterfly has been following kirby in every single game so far
that's my favorite type of character tbh
I'm really concerned on how the games' plot went from *"A penguin is stealing food"* to *"You have to stop a satanic reflexion of your own person to save the fiber of reality itself"*
hhhh this is an underrated comment
Game 1: someone stole all food! Game 15: *objective: kill ultramegaduper ctulhu #2*
I don't even know what's going next in the kirby lore now
AGAIN
it seems they planned all this from the very start with kirby and the butterfly
Kirby premise : “Haha little pink boi is hungry!” Kirby actual plot “Kirby overthrows satan and murders him to cast the demons out of dreamland”
Start of the game: oh no, your cake was stolen, go for it Kirby End of the game: and now Kirby stands as the only thing between the god of death and destruction and the entire universe being consumed by darkness
carso1500 yeah, the worst part is that that’s true
*INTENSE TERMINALMONTAGE FLASHBACKS*
You forgot that he might actually be good satan

"Hey, Susie, you still completely turning entire planets into metal and destroying ecosystems?" "Yup." "Cool, let's go fight elder gods."
Turns out that is a massive mischaracterization caused by mistranslation. Susie did continue using the machines of her father, but she uses them to destroy things that threaten the innocent.
"Sure thing, wanna grab dark meta knight too?" "Nah, I need room for marx and magalor"

In a famous piece of Japanese literature, the author of said piece, upon reaching the ending of his tale, remarks that his entire story could have just been the dream of a butterfly that the audience could have just awoken from. From the very beginning, all Kirby games have been alluding to the very real fact that all lore that takes place in Kirby Games are just that: dreams. Hence the heavy use of butterfly imagery.
Makes sense, yknow, DREAM land
This is pretty much confirmed by the newest game, where humanity is said to have preferred going to a dream world (Kirby’s world) rather than staying in their own
@@nyxcat3621 So... Humans are the Azathoth of Kirby's world?
That may explain the butterfly in Forgotten Land (not gonna elaborate, but if you know, you certainly know)
that butterfly anecdote is Chinese not Japanese, and from a singular story within the taoist text known simply as Zhuangzi, after its author who was known by the same name.
Link: fights Gannon and saves hyrule Mario: fights Bowser and saves the princess Donkey kong: fights K. rool and saves the bananas Kirby: *fights the gods of darkness incarnate and saves the universe*
TBF Skyward Sword and Thousand Year Door both featured their own gods of darkness that Link and Mario had to face. Let's not pretend it's just Kirby.
@@Undomaranel Did you play skyward sword? If so you'd know that the antagonist was just Gannon with extra steps 😅 And I mean id hardly count Paper Mario as part of the main series of games. Its an RPG that was made by a different team, smh. Thats like claiming Hyrule Warriors to be a LoZ game.
Well mario does save the universe twice in the mario galaxy games
@@yderga8707 also paper mario is closer to mainline mario than hyrule warriors is to zelda so paper mario should count. Also demise is still a god/force of nature same for ganon kinda
@@beanieboi7743 "saving the universe" is a stretch, maybe a planet or two, but the main goal for Bowser had more to do with Peach than the universe. And again he saved it from a big spiky turtle. Paper Mario is completely different gameplay and a different story from the mainline games so no I don't think it should count. At least LoZ and HW are both active fighting games.
Oh, that guy? He nearly destroyed our only defense with the power of a dark god. He makes theme parks now. He's cool.
They're big on forgiveness in Dreamland, it seems.
I'm forgiving him
Magolor didn’t know, he deserves forgiveness
@@EternalTheMandarinGoddess oke
Oh? That guy on the ball? Caused the literal sun and moon to have a fistfight, then stole a wish and made himself into a dark god, using the wishmaker as a nearly unstoppable kamikaze, and *then* tried to kill our strongest protector, who he tricked into summoning the wishgranter in the first place. Nearly left our hero in the void of space too. But he's cool.
I like how the character who probably cares the least about the Kirby lore is most likely Kirby himself.
Will knowing the lore get him more food?
@@twilitlloyd7167 no, therefore he does not care
All Kirby cares about is food.
And killing gods
S A N D V I C H The snack of champions What about killing gods of food to get at their food?
14:56 has to be one of the edgiest things in Kirby's history. It's probably just an animation "smear technique" used, but the way it's shown almost looks like the "Dark Meta Knight" is FLICKING BLOOD off the sword!
Meta Knight.exe
Holy shit you are right
That's nothing lol, 02 actually bled in Kirby 64.
@@Eyewarpalso kirby's dreamland 3
Looking forward to a Forgotten Land video, that game gives HUGE lore dumps on the science ancients and gives us an even more horrifying eldritch beast to analyze.
Not only that but also gives us info on Morpho
Came back here for exactly this reason. As soon as I saw that butterfly in the demo, I knew something was up. I just didn't expect my jaw to hit the floor.
I know everyone gasped in horror after seeing that damned orange butterfly fly through a hole in the ceiling
It's happening

@@mathunit1 pog Kirby wins
Well the writers are japanese so that much is expected
I’n the first age, I n the first battle...
You know what's even worse? In Japanese, Soul of Sectonia's description is in first person. She knows she must be taken down.
oh god
That's just depressing
@@rockhistoria2537 That's exactly how I reacted.
@MR. X She didn't kill herself, it's just that she knew she had gone too far and knows she needs to be stopped, but can't do anything about it.
@MR. X Also no, again, Sectonia couldn't do anything. Volentary murder is the correct term.
You gotta give dedede credit for competing with Kirby who is a literal god. The dude is stubborn and I can respect that
He's just incredibly versatile, not really all powerful as many people think. I'm sure dedede could get some work done if he went out and bonked a few cosmic entities in his spare time, not like he does anything
22:35 Also, the pause screen when the heart is at half HP says, "All memory of Haltmann *has been erased.* Even his soul, the last trace of Haltmann, has vanished. Star Dream went from a *near perfect being to a cold mindless machine.*
First game: Fight greedy guy Final Game: Fight God, the originator of all. Kirby is also an incarnation of this God. Also the cycle reignites and everything starts again.
So basically the last Kirby game will have Kirby fight Sakurai himself you mean?
@@AndrevusWhitetail Plot Twist 1: Sakurai is the Butterfly. Plot Twist 2: Kirby IS Sakurai.

7.) minor to major*
Checks out in forgotten world.
as someone who is playing forgotten world this is accurate
@@donutholebandit6212 10. Enter the dreamscape and fight an eldrich abomination
The moral of the story: If you don't want unholy nightmare fuel in your Kirby game, don't pause the game during a boss.
Out of every single kirby boss, haltmann has truly made me the saddest, the simple tought of a man who lost her daughter and tried everything to bring her back, lost his memories in the procces, then killed by his own daughter
To summarize: a good little boy who wakes up to do his daily chores ending universe level threats then goes back to sleep with no ptsd at all
Except dedede. _He eats to forget._
@@rosebud6116 but 100% better
Yup. In robobot, I think one of the menus say that "Their enemies call them "Pink Demon"" or something like this. So actually, kirby more likely GIIVES PTSD to his enemies (I mean... The ones who _survive_ that is)

Kirby truly is the Clark Kent/Superman of lore, you WOULDN'T believe how disturbing and deep the lore runs under it's adorable, seemingly-innocent appearance.
Kirby is the regular show of video games. Guy just wants to eat cake and chill but ends up fighting Eldritch horrors that would drive most people insane
Regular show moment
When I got into Kirby, I thought it would be a small pink baby defending sugary treats, not a small pink baby preventing judgment day.
funny part is that Kirby can actually talk but speaks in a language that's just say the word puyo
@@dudejoe24 my heart melt whenever kirby says something.
Wait what judgement day we talking
@@kiattim2100 it kind of reminds me of Hat Kid
I mean, it's kinda... *both*
Galacta knight "I didn't try to destroy the galaxy, it was the butterfly I tell you. THE BUTTERFLY!" Meta knight "He's crazy boys, seal him." No one ever suspects the butterfly.
EliteDog I SWEAR! HE’S LITERALLY THE GRIM REAPER!!!!
EliteDog i knew it also I always consider metta nightmare cannon and the true arena cannon because it explained more and was never outright said its not cannon plus it showed what happened to the bosses after it never said it was a what if
RIGHT!? I always considered the different game modes as alternate dimensions. They're cannon, just not in the dimension we follow.
Butterfly: NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION
@@ilikestuffyea7379 The director of the games said so on Miiverse that they weren't canon
I swear Kirby games sometimes look like Regular Show episodes. First it's all calm and the protagonists are just chilling or doing some minor shit and then just 10 minutes later they are fighting the literal emodiment of evil.
I've always admired how Kirby's a VERY subtly terrifyingly dark franchise
So a Kirby games go like this: Beginning: King Deedee is being naughty again. Ending: “And after a bloody battle, Kirby cast Super Satan back to the festering depths of Ultra-Hell, saving all of existence.”
Pretty much.
sounds about right
yup
@@irmatheshepherd2325 with a smile on his face

A cinematic universe to rival Marvel
It'll make the MCU kremit Sudoku.
OHMAYGODISKREMITTEHFRORG
The Nintendo Cinematic Universe. With the stand alone film Star Warrior.
@P.G. Ferret are you sure about that
but is iron man the true embodiment of childhood bliss and chaos who is descedent from a line of demons who are galaxy devourers?
Dang. Kirby lore is actually pretty dark when you put it all together. On top of the fact that some of the final bosses are ACTUAL nightmare fuel. I guess that's what you have to deal with when you fight literal gods every game Kirby debuts in. Also that butterfly came back in Forgotten Land. What if that butterfly is actually the second half of Kirby's positive energy? Sorta like Elphin, (kinda a spoiler....sorry) and his second half. I wonder what would happen if Kirby absorbed that butterfly....
I think I learned my lesson. _Never mess with butterflies._
"So after another mildly disturbing battle in a game made for kids..." Glad someone pointed out that kirby bosses are demons from the depths of hell.
Oh absolutely. If a Kirby final boss doesn't spit in the face of god and science nowadays, something is wrong. It makes the original Kirby's Dreamland look pedestrian in hindsight.
Star Dream's scream gave me nightmares.
I feel like a theme in the Kirby series is chibi creatures trying to defend their world from eldritch abominations.
It would be fun to make a game, and have the first thing you hear be “warning, this game walks the surprisingly small line between child friendly fun and psychological horror. And now I NEED to make it now that I had the idea. WHY do I do this.
Am I the only one who wanted Dark Matter Swordsman to be a dream friend in Star Allies?
Moral of the story?: Never interrupt Kirby's sleep. Once he's awake, you know you're done for.
So... ...basically 20th century America.
When kirby wakes up. Shit's about to go down
Also never STEAL from Kirby. or Steal AROUND Kirby...just AVOID KIRBY whenst doing thine evil.

and a Frozen Ice-age Planet that we know about its landscape
Yes
so basically fransisca almost died of frostbite flamberge almost literally got burnt to death and zan attempted suicide man kirby games are crazy
fransisca would be more likely hypothermia or even some of her blood freezing. Frostbite is less likely to kill you before either of those.
@A god of nothing "Y'know, for kids!"
Funny thing is in some children anime they actually have dark themes like suicide or near death occurrence as part of the story.
@@kos2919 "The kids won't know it!"
9 year olds playing Kirby: Man this game is easy Teen ages and adults playing Kirby: Man this game is ea-OH GOD BLOOD? _THIS MAKES NO SENSE_ *why does that eldritch abomination look familiar* *_SUICIDE?!_*
Perhaps the butterfly is another “good-(ish)” incarnation of Void. That’s why it tends to just hang out and chill with Kirby while also being powerful enough to absorb a being like Galacta Knight. As for WHY it did that… idk, maybe it though having a fight with the Star Allies would be fun?
Forgotten Land says something along the lines of it being a being that casts judgment, so I doubt it just absorbed Galacta Knight because it saw all the fighting happening and thought it'd be fun to join in. It also absorbed Forgo to give birth to Chaos Elfilis. My personal theory is that the butterfly (or butterflies) seek the universe for beings that can help them release chaos across the universe, but they can't absorb Kirby because although infinitely powerful he's such a good boy he can't produce chaos, so the butterfly doesn't bother absorbing him
@@juanin200 I noticed that the butterfly's powers are essentially kirby's in reverse. Both involve hijacking the power of another being, but instead of absorbing them and assimilating them into itself like Kirby, the butterfly makes the host absorb it and takes control of them. Interesting parallel, idk if it actually means anything
@@hankboog462 Now what if Kirby ate the butterfly
The next video explains it! Galacta Knight just wanted to die. The butterfly killed him out of mercy.
Star Dream: It's too late, Meta Knight! I am now Galacta Knight certified! Galacta Knight: *turns around menacingly* Star Dream: Ahahahaha... OH MY GOD WHAT THE FRICK
Hyness: sees dark matter *_we could make a religion out of this_*
To be honest, he probably already worshiped Void before that and Void is not really just dark matter but an all powerful neutral entity that can become multiple things. It's already more acceptable as a religion than worshiping some random god of destruction and darkness that wanders the universe destroying planets on its path.
The Religion Squad, basically, including Korpus and others.
We could make a religion- no
@@drio5180 why?
No dont
Does everyone think Masahiro Sakurai no longer works on Kirby games because he, too, fears what he has created?
Because he didnt want to make 9000 sequels to the same game
I think it's because Smash has his soul
He didn't create Kirby, the creator is a guy who worked on the first Kirby game and then disappeared from existence with rumors of his whereabouts or death popping up all over the place Some years ago some people thought they had found him working on a construction firm in Japan but it turned out to be an unrelated guy with the same name
@@Sigismund697 Sakurai created the character and is the only reason that the Kirby series even exists. Also, that guy only worked on 3 or 4 Kirby games before then disappearing, and it was *not* the first game. 3 of them being the Dark Matter trilogy. Kirby games have a different director now.
@@pineapplepenguin1759 it's a joke-
You forgot a pretty important piece of lore- In Super Smash Bros Ultimate of all games, Kirby was proven to be a canonical god. (One of the creators of Kirby also made Smash Bros, so yes this is canon.)

I eat dedede, it's what I do
Stuffing your face as usual
I wonder how the latest game fits into all of this, with all the parallels between Kirby and Elfilin (and also a very spooky character returning by the end of the postgame).
To think about it, the morpho knight is the one that brings kirby's doomsday, the butterfly appears at the START, of every day, meaning that it is a symbol of kirby going against death. Maybe this time, seeing as kirby wins everytime, the butterfly took matters into his own hands, to kill kirby.
I find it funny that a series about a pink ball eating stuff somehow has deeper lore/worldbuilding than most pieces of media out there.
Nanomachines, son!
Nintendo does makes games for both children and adults while subliminally exploring philosophical themes.
I have seen similar like pvz lore and the bullshit that is fnaf lore
It makes the Kirby franchise that much better
It's a tad shallower than that of TF2. Eh, idk.
Kirby is a god who slumbers and those who wake him face a terrible fate.. ..of being his *FWEND*
Unless u a thicc penguin
Or a big ugly eyeball *P O Y O* ○ ω ○
Aaannnd also get consumed and then teleported into a void full of his victims
Yeah, kirby is just cthulu but he's too tired to bring the apocalypse
"You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"
The thought of a Moogle describing Kirby lore is honestly pretty cute. I could imagine Kirby’s stories be told as children’s tales in the FF universe
Reminder to everyone that Dark Meta Knight's pause screen says a shadow of the strongest warrior meaning Meta Knight DID canonically beat Galacta Knight.
i love how the kirby series has basically cemented kirby as an all-powerful elder god that's just too lazy and/or nice to actually do anything evil with their abilities it's just really nice. eldritch gods don't always have to be destructive. they can be a little round friend
i thought he was just a guy that saved nintendo in a law suit
It's just a fan theory at this point, but I like to think Kirby's power really is as infinite as the lore says and his life bar is just how much he cares about the current predicament before he gets bored and goes home to nap.
Except for all the countless poor Waddle Dee's, Waddle Doo's, and other poor creatures Kirby ate and murdered along the way.

@@funsies8107 North korea
I know i'm 3 years late, but i wanted to point that star dream's core is a heart shaped giant crystal just like the jamba heart, so maybe it's based on it. That could mean two things i think: 1) Each heart is a source of infinite energy and the ancients used these a lot, probably each mechanical star has one of them as the core, and they used one of these to seal void termina bc it's own endless energy would work as a barrier. 2) There was only one, the jamba heart, but Haltmann found the blueprints and built a second one. Little did he know that all that energy was coming from an alternate dimension made exclusively to seal the Dark Lord and that it was full of hatred, maybe that's what corrupted Star Dream in the end. Anyway, really good video, waiting for the Forgotten Lands lore video now that Morpho Knight is finally in the canon.
Apparently the Zero² fight's pause screen doesn't even let you leave. The only option is "Tough it out!" and "Continue"
the beginning of a Kirby game: stop being such a rascal, Dedede, ya silly blue penguin! the end of a Kirby game: and so, satan was murdered by Kirby and his gang. pause screens of a Kirby game: Oh, ya know that BBEG? Yeah, he used to be a great person in the eyes of your new pal of the game until they became a husk of their former selves, hell-bent on nothing but furthering their own goals.
Mason Climax the post game of a Kirby game: and so Kirby fucking erased satan’s soul
“And so, satan was murdered by Kirby and his gang” this is amazing, I shall use it daily
first line of kirby lore: dedede is stealing the snack! last line of kirby lore: and so, the biblically accurate angel was defeated by jesus and his loyal followers, Kirby, and the gang

Also, I think Kirby was kinda the only Fighter with even the slightest capability to, well, blip out of reality while everyone else got trophied, due to the Warp Star.
the best ball for fighting gods is the one that has many times
@@Darca1n I believe it was stated in a QnA that sonic could’ve outran the light if he didn’t attempt to save pikachu
@@Tonybaloney6969 The light kinda enveloped the entire planet though. he probably could've delayed getting hit, but he can't exactly just leap into space to escape the entire freaking galaxy, can he? Not in a manner that'd let him return, or even be survivable.
@@Darca1n that I don’t know about, I mean he can use chaos control and all that fun stuff if possible, but it’s a game made by Kirby’s creator so I doubt sonic would have much involvement 😂
Kirby: *wakes up to see Dreamland in total darkness* "Just a normal Tuesday for me!"
i think kirby creators write down every epiphany they have during bath to come up with these ideas
First you draw a circle... _oh._
and then you *3=*)7$##* and then you’re done! =)
then color it black, and you have kirby he's a black hole
"and then you draw the knife..."
@@trueiswrong thanks
And presto it’s kirbs
Infinity war? Nah, I'm too busy watching kirby triple deluxe cutscenes.
Haha mood
I just got that game a week ago
@@TheUltraSonicKid i still havent gotten return to dreamland going forward for some reason
*reading pause screens*
Chuggaaconroy just started a Triple Deluxe lp.
An elaboration of Morpho Knight's lore: Morpho Knight is actually the embodiment of death within the Kirby series, it's job to harvest the souls of immortal beings once they have lived past their expiration date. It is called the "Butterfly of Shadvali" in the Japanese lore, Shadvali being the afterlife in Buddhism. Galacta Knight wished to die and summoned the butterfly himself since he was too powerful to be traditionally killed. Morpho Knight is also the butterfly's true form, not a combined form of the butterfly and Galacta Knight.
So basically all the power the villains in the series covet is connect to Void Termina in some way, but Kirby is a being so similar and filled with positive energy, that he's basically the most powerful being in the universe and all the villains should be grateful Kirby is so nice and forgiving.
Interesting fact: Kirby was named after the lawyer Jack Kirby, who saved Nintendo from a lawsuit by Universal Studios.
Intriguing, what was the lawsuit about?
@@nightmare_creature3757 copyrights for the word "kong" (donkey kong and king kong)
@@aaaaaaa_aaaaaaaaaa Sound like Universal alright
Dude, the lawyers name was JOHN Kirby. JACK Kirby is the creator of Captain America, X-men ect.
Kind of ironic that they’re working together with Nintendo now to create the Super Nintendo World Theme Park
"a being of unlimited power" *touches waddle dee* *dies*
Most Kirby's game over screens are just him giving up and going to sleep tho.
*touches waddle dee* *dies* *_comes back to life to replace the current timeline with an alternate timeline where he doesn't die_*
You never know, maybe the Waddle Dees are supreme beings but their power is dwarved by everyone else.
He literally just goes "oh fuck this shit", though.
No this happens if he touches waddle Dee six times.
0:58 Love how Dedede looks at Kirby here.
Kirby lore is basically a maze with no end or start, you just keep mindlessly walking through the same hallways, trying to find the exit 😭
Also the more you think about it Kirby is basically a black hole on legs
24:29 "He changed himself for the better" *Shows picture* *DEFINE BETTER*
Not even the giant eyeball is as horrifying as this form
I like how kirby looks like he's just done with this shit
OP move.
That picture actually creeped me out
hilarious
Normies: “Kirby is a kids game.” Me: *Thinks of Marx’s death screech*
Don't forget zero's eye bursting from his body spraying blood. Or sectonia's zombie head detaching from her flower body just to kill kirby.
*thinks of everything about the final bosses and whatever.*
10/10 best character
Marx vs Pennywise...who’s the most terrifying clown/jester
*pulls out kazoo and plays Galactic Nova explosion theme*
Brooooooo I just realized something big for kirby lore. At 3:54, Shiver Star is thought to be a post-apocalyptic earth. However if we look at the release dates for the game and the kirby tv show "Right Back at Ya" You'll see that Crystal Shards came out on 2000, but the show came out on 2001. Therefore I think that Shiver Star is really just Earth in its Ice Age and Crystal Shards is millions of years ago.
I like to come back here every once in a while, to refresh myself on Kirby lore every time a new Kirby game comes out. Just so I can say to myself "huh, I totally forgot Kirby is a god killer, him being a reincarnated god himself..."
Kirby game intros: *some eldritch horror or otherwise irreversibly corrupt being shows up on Pop Star hellbent on destroying it* Kirby: *slowly stops chewing his cake and stands up* Yup, same shit different day, what do we have this time? A being made of the very fabric of darkness? Oh, haven't seen THAT one before.
Meta Knight: "God damnit - okay, what is it? Mirror? Galacta Knight? This happens every other week, Jesus Christ. Let's do this again."
Dark Matter AGAIN? REALLY? Give me something *exciting*, please!
Kirby and Samus are in the same multiverse
@@runed0s86 Dreamland 3 is not sufficient evidence that they are in the same universe.
@@runed0s86 I don't think you can have Samus's ship landing on astronomically accurate planets and then there are also things like Pop Star and Ripple Star with _little suns and moons orbiting them that have consciousnesses._
I think that the butterfly has actually been trying to absorb kirby the whole time, because he has landed on him many times, but for some reason he can't
He’s been there the WHOLE time!
It’s probably because Kirby is such a pure, honest-to-god being, that he has no darkness in his heart that the creature can latch onto and manipulate.
@@Dr.Meme-Man you might actually have a good point
damn that's a good theory!
@@Dr.Meme-Man That's probably the reason actually, as Galacta Knight is probably also of Void origin, and that the butterfly resonated with "the screams of the greatest warrior of the galaxy", probably alluding to the screams of the people he killed in the past when he, you know, DESTROYED PLANETS like Star Dream talked about in Robobot, leading to him being sealed away. So yeah, the butterfly seemingly being a judge and all, it probably found kirby so innocent that it couldn't do anything to it, meanwhile Galacta Knight gets assimilated for his crimes.
Kirby just really wants to have a nice day out and for some reason cosmic horrors keep messing with his picnic.
The entire Kirby lore in one word: *INHALE!!!*
SUCC
Actually I think You Mean "POYO!'
Dark Souls : I have the most subtle but epic and tragic lore of any videogame series Kirby universe : *H O L D M Y B E E R*
No hold my apple
No hold my cake, on second thought I’m a suck that into my POCKET DIMENSION STOMACH and save myself the trouble when this thing gets stolen or some incarceration of Dark Matter shows up. Again.
No, hold my hat.
Hold my Pollo
No hold my tomato
“Long after Triple Deluxe” To be fair, we don’t know the timeframe between Triple Deluxe and Robobot. It could have been literally a day after Sectonia’s defeat, and that would be the funniest thing that could ever happen in the series.
Damn imagine if that was true tho.
Or an hour after it
Finally, some peace and q- GOD DAMMIT NOT AGAIN
Dedede: well, that was something I wish never happens aga- OH COME ON
I like to imagine that this all happens within the span of a month and when they see some eldritch horror they are just like. AW SHIT HERE WE GO AGAIN
Kirby Plot: Oh no bad thing happen go stop it. End of game: Destroy Satanic Entity who will distroy the universe.
11 yo me getting betrayed by magalor: "I WAS JUST GETTING USED TO GIVE THE BAD GUY ULTIMATE POWER????" kirby: always have been
Family: "Why do you play that childish game for children?" Me: "For the *Plot* and *Lore* "
And for eldritch abomination and cosmic horror
And for Poyo
No, I play it because the gameplay is fun

Nobody would ever know the Kirby multiverse was this insane just by looking at the cover art.
i kind of hope yin yarn is tied to everything. kirbys epic yarn is so underrated, it’s my favorite
Zelda: We have the darkest, creepiest lore of all Nintendo games. Kirby: Hold my Strawberry shortcake. ... Now give it back, it looks delicious.😋
Kirby: poyo 🎂 Also kirby: POYO 🎂 😋
of course your gonna ignore earthbound lore huh?
Yeah I showed him I made quick work of him. Don't ever try to challenge me. you hear that cartoon fight club I'm sick of your shit!
@@ladydi8643 why have you killed my dad? He was a waddle-dee.
@@hoodydown8554 no that was my brother we look so alike
Kirby: *is a "children's game"* The lore: *More complex than a lot of other games*
Yet still makes more sense than kingdom hearts
@@firenze6478 god help the man that finally makes sense of the kingdom hearts lore
Also fnafs lore is more complex meaning fnafs lore is father's of kirby's lore
@@Jester_Advocate fnaf lore is more complex than kirby lore (shadows, bite of 87, fredbear in general) but kirby lore is more complete and longer also kirby came before fnaf
@@spiffyavatar3611 ya I know but it's funny if you think about it
Watching this after beating Forgotten Land 100% is an EXPERIENCE. I can't wait to see people connect the stuff in that game to previous entries!
