Kirby series: Average, middle of the Road Trip revisions

Eficiente · Apr 25, 2026

(Last thread here.) Revisions mostly covering things from Kirby Air Riders, with some other things unrelated to that game.
----

The following pages should be renamed (which I can't do myself):
- Dark Matter Beings to "Dark Matter species"
- Dark Matter to "Dark Matter (Kirby)"
- Nightmare (Anime) to "Nightmare (Kirby: Right Back at Ya!)"
- Galaxia (Anime) to "Galaxia (Kirby: Right Back at Ya!)"
- Halberd (Anime) to "Halberd (Kirby: Right Back at Ya!)"
- Kirby (Smash Bros.) to "Kirby (Super Smash Bros.)"
- Fecto Forgo to "Fecto Elfilis", keeping Fecto Forgo as a link to the profile.
- Zero-Two (Kirby) to "0²" or "0² (Kirby)" if possible
- Marx (Kirby) to "Marx" if possible
- Every profile here should be called "[Name] (Kirby of the Stars! Crazy Pupupu Hour!)", which is a translation of the manga's name.
- Kirby (Hoshi no Kirby 3) should be called "Kirby (Kirby of the Stars 3)", for the same reason.
- Kirby Explanations should be called "Kirby: General explanations"
- Question, can I change the name of my blogs? I can just create new ones, but I would rather keep the original dates in which they were made.

----
Said https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Kirby_Explanations page should be updated with the content in the Kirby: Explanations blog. It has a more evidence and better writing. Some sections would be removed to do not being finished or fitting better in other pages ("Powers of Friendship", "Sky=~=Universe", "Implication of the conceptual diagram", "What does "parallel" refer to?" would be removed).

Lastly, this section in one of Magolor's blogs should be moved into the explanations page. It would be the same.
----

https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/Kirby:_Canon_explanation_page

When the explanation for a game's canon gets long, it could use a collapsible tab.

From https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User:Eficiente/SandboxK#User_blog:Eficiente/Kirby:_Canon :

Kirby Super Star & Kirby Super Star Ultra

In the "Megaton Punch" sub-game, Kirby & others punch a crack across Planet Popstar see from outer space. An official encyclopedia shows an image of that crack, saying that "When Kirby makes a strong punch, the planet gets deep cracks." This recognition may imply the sub-game to be canon and a common competition in Popstar.
- (For a time, it was believed that Knuckle Joe's pause description in Star Allies could be interpreted to reference to this event. However, something like this is not present in its Jpn. version.)
Super Star is a game from 1996. Super Star Ultra is a remake from 2008, covering the same events at the same points in time. Super Star Ultra also has new modes unlocked after the original modes from Super Star are finished, and these stories are understood to take place after the lastest game in the series before 2008. It's vaguely possible the new modes were meant to take place right after the events of the original Super Star, at a much earlier point in time in the series, but this hasn't been clarified and is not seen as likely. Despite being part of the same game, all modes don't share a same, interconnected story, each being their own tale or tournament happening with unknown gaps in time between each other. For example, "Spring Breeze" is a remake of Kirby's Dream Land, the first game in the series, happening much earlier in the timeline next to the other modes, even when looking at the original Super Star by itself.
- The "Revenge of the King" mode from Super Star Ultra is certainly a "reference" to the Spring Breeze mode, being a more difficult version of it prepared by King Dedede for revenge with new enemies. However, this means nothing in terms of its placement in the timeline, as Dedede could have chosen to want revenge against Kirby at any moment in time, without necessarily needing to do so moments after Spring Breeze, let alone moments after all the events in the original Super Star.

Kirby's Blowout Blast

(The 2 images shown)

Continuity note: In Kirby's Blowout Blast, if Kirby inhales multiple enemies or objects, he will become very big and bloated, known officially as "Full Belly Kirby". Full Belly Kirby is referenced in Kirby Star Allies in one of Artist's attacks. A Kirby_JP Twitter post even addresses it as Full Belly Kirby, says that it comes from the game Kirby's Blowout Blast, and shows an image of its gameplay.

For the User blog:Eficiente/Kirby: Cosmology (Which will be made into a page in time) (From this section: https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User:Eficiente/SandboxK#User_blog:Eficiente/Kirby:_Cosmology )

Main universe

To the list: Said to be vast here (Not ever-expansive like in the English description of Nebula Belt), here,
- The galaxy being said to be vast: Kirby_JP Twitter, post of Apr 9, 2019
Limits:
- Nebula Belt's description · Kirby Air Riders Jpn. website: "Even the stars sink; deep darkness keeps spreading to the ends of the universe."

Mysterious Dimension

On Planet Popstar, the volcano in Skyah has a portal vortex in it that leads to a place called Mysterious Dimension. The Mysterious Dimension, in turn, has an area that shoots riders back to Skyah through the volcano using the same vortex.
Riders can only go around a single small room-sized area of the Mysterious Dimension, but the background shows outer space filled with many, many stars. Between this and the place being referred to as its own dimension, we are clearly no longer in the main universe. The Mysterious Dimension is interstellarin size.
- Needless to say, Popstar doesn't "hold" this dimension, the Mysterious Dimension's size is irrelevant when accounting for destroying all of Popstar. Popstar just has a portal to the Mysterious Dimension, it could be said to be a pocket reality. Destroying Popstar would simply disable the portal, or the portal would just float in space.

Demon World

Name: 魔界 = "Demon World". Never localized, the English version of the Twitter post below neglects to mention that part.
The hallucinogenic plants used in Marx's "True-Form Marx" Special are said to come from the "demon world", a setting never referenced before across the series.

Digital worlds

Let's talk about the "Digital Superhighway" and "Neon Promenade" Stages, and "Cyberion Highway" and "Cyber" Courses. All of these places take place within digital spaces.

"Digital Superhighway" and "Neon Promenade" are different Stages on the Road Trip story mode, appearing to be different dimensions. However, the name "Digital Superhighway" is similar to "Information Superhighway", a metaphor for the Internet, illustrating the various routes and methods available for sending and retrieving information. In other words, maybe all these places are part of a single dimension (Called Digital Superhighway), or maybe it's just a meaningless name.

While traveling across "Digital Superhighway" and "Neon Promenade" Stages, "Cyberion Highway" and "Cyber" are their most common Courses, implying they take place within those dimensions. Across all Stages in Road Trip, the most common Courses have the same setting as the Stage where they appear, which may imply they take place in the same dimension. However, for both "Cyberion Highway" and "Cyber" to take place in both "Digital Superhighway" and "Neon Promenade", all 4 places would need to take place within the same dimension, supporting that idea. Alternatively, the 4 are different dimensions, and being inside any digital dimension facilitates travel to fellow digital dimensions. Or the characters can travel between dimensions at will [Note: This will not be added yet, but that last part will link a section of the Air Riders explanation page going over how commonly characters show Dimensional Travel. That section is not ready, so this can't be done yet]. These alternatives being equally likely.

Tl;dr: We don't know if it's all 1 dimension (Digital Superhighway), or 4 different dimensions.

Size:
- None of the 4 places above show any celestial bodies.
Lower dimensional space:
- Stage 7, Low-Road Cavern → Stage 8, Digital Superhighway: In Road Trip, one way to enter Digital Superhighway is to be absorbed by a computer.
- Cyberion Highway is referred to as a "computer world".

Now, the "Zorah's age", "Crossroads events" and "Dimensional Travel" sections are not finished. But everything else is finished and will be carried over word for word.

Lastly we have profile creations and changes. I don't need a CRT to tell you what I will create, but it's related. Some new profiles affect old profiles. You can ignore the new profiles, ig:

Kirby changes: From https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User:Eficiente/SandboxK#Kirby :

Changes on Kirby's character analysis page:

Titles: The fancy king of action games, our dear Kirby-chan
Hero title: 星のカービィ全百科 ("Kirby of the Stars Encyclopedia"), unknown page · Kirby of the Stars Super Deluxe 100% Strategy Book, unknown page
Once, he was potentially encouraged by a guide to strike Meta Knight from behind in a dual, despite this being cowardly, since that would be the most effective way to win. - 星のカービィ夢の泉の物語必勝攻略法 ("Kirby of the Stars: The Story of the Fountain of Dreams - Sure-Win Strategy Guide," page 115. (For context, during his duels across the series, Meta Knight walks towards & away from his opponents while while facing them at all times - except in his first appearance, where the animation for him walking away had him looking away from Kirby. This doesn't even happen in the remake of the same story.)
Apparently became able to skate with the Ice abiliy since Super Star, not having been able to do so in Adventure.

abilities

An edit like this
On why Kirby has so many weird powers and why others don't always scale.
Surface Scaling (Via Fire [Fireball Climb])
On his "other" powers: Limited Body Control & Shapeshifting if turned into yarn (Eating Yin-Yarn's magic Metamato allowed Kirby to modify his body in many ways when he was made of yarn. He can't use any of those moves when in a regular state though. These abilities include: Turning into a car, turning his feet into springs to jump, turning into a parachute to slow down his fall, turning into a weight to fall faster as an attack, turn into a submarine, use a Yarn Whip precise enough to unravel enemies & obstacles made of yarn, roll up & keep said unraveled things to throw them as an attack. He can't use most of his regular abilities when made of yarn like that, being limited to the powers the Metamato granted him. If turned into yarn in a more lethal way than how Patch Land transmutes the beings present in it, Kirby may not be able to do anything)
Ball Kirby probably rolls faster compared to regular Kirby's running speed.
Another statement attributing Kirby's Hover to how he lifted Dedede's castle, rather than the power-up he also picked up at the same time.
Absorption: 星のカービィ夢の泉の物語取扱説明書 ("Kirby of the Stars: The Story of the Fountain of Dreams instruction manual"), page 16
Rolling Ram Attack: Add as an attack
Step-'n-Jump: Add as an attack

Fire:

Fire Breath: Kirby blows fire breath from his mouth, briefly or continuously. While doing it, it can be tilted up and down, ande he can rotate 360º and walk. Since Forgotten Land, the fire he shoots can stay burning many set places and foes, damaging them over time even after Kirby stops breathing fire on them, if only for a while; The more time he breaths fire, the bigger and powerful that fire will be. Even if they teleport around, the fire will stay on the enemies. Kirby can walk through said fire fine, and it will disappear eventually.
- Fireball Inferno: Aiming his Fire Breath into himself, Kirby becomes engulfed in flames. He can stay like this for a long as he wants and leave the move at will.
Fireball Spin (Super Star version):While midair, Kirby spins while surrounded with fire, appearing like a ball of fire. This move lasts until Kirby touches the ground. This is the most common version of Fireball Spin seen in the series. This move elevates Kirby slightly if done at the apex of his jump and lasts until Kirby touches the ground.
- Fireball Roll: If on level ground, when Kirby is falling from the apex of his jump, he can choose to spin and roll along the ground at high speeds. Kirby rolls 7 tiles.
Burning Flame: Spits out a fireball that lingers on the ground if it doesn't make contact with any enemies or opponents. Kirby can spit larger fireballs farther distances by charging for a longer period of time. Kirby uses this move during races, having a decent range.
Fireball Spin (Return to Dream Land version):While midair, Kirby spins sideways, blowing fire from his mouth. Fireball Roll can be performed all the same from this move.
- Fireball Climb: Can be use with both versions of Fireball Spin or Fireball Roll while touching a wall. If Fireball Roll makes contact with a wall, Kirby can roll up to 6 tiles up the wall, depending on the distance rolled on the ground. If Fireball Spin makes contact with a wall, Kirby will roll 6 tiles up the wall. Kirby will always roll at high speed.
Hypernova: "Kirby’s strongest power yet"
Copy ability allows him to steal the Copy Ability from enemies that he cannot inhale.
Mike ability can only be used 3 times because it dries out his throat.
Crash ability: Scales to his Fire Manip, being said to burn everything thoroughly

Friend Throw: (Post-Star Allies) A Friend Ability. Performs and enhanced version of Arm Throw or Judo Throw with the grabbed Friend. Judo Throw's downward variant has a steep trajectory instead of a shallow one. The ally may bounce again & again when hitting walls/ceilings without losing momentum or break through the terrain. All the allies in-game are unharmed in their health, if this is visually giving them a hard time.

Friend Ability: Evolved, more powerful forms of Copy Abilities Star Allies need to bestow to Kirby with a quick, harmless attack. They use the "Power of Friendship" to do this, which, poetic as it might sound, is an actual power system in Kirby. This should mean that, for example, characters without the Power of Friendship would fail to grant this, without being reached by a Friend Heart first.

The "unnamed fork" is called Dream Fork.

The couple of images shown for the gallery.
----
From https://vsbattles.fandom.com/wiki/User:Eficiente/SandboxK#Kirby_2 , only the following:

Striking Strength: Even in base form, he can steal Air Ride machines from fellow riders by kicking them out of their vehicle, and is implied to regularly participate in such games

Specials: A Special is a unique move in Kirby Air Riders (2025). Specials need a meter to charge up first before being used, starting from the beginning after a use. Kirby has 4 different special due to being "the main character", if only 1 can be set-up per competition in-game. All Specials only last a while, the Air Ride machine teleports back under Kirby if it went away at the start. When used, Kirby changes his current Copy Ability for the one used in the Special, and when the Special finishes, he goes back to using the prior Copy Ability. His use of any Copy Ability at all without Inhaling and Swallowing a target first can be understood as part of his ability to do so, which is often overlooked, and for once used more regularly by Kirby himself.
- Ultra Sword: Kirby uses his Ultra Sword Super Ability to slash repeatedly in front of himself, losing no speed because of it in his vehicle. See the "Ultra Sword" in his Final Weapons section for more information on what it can do.
- Burn: The Air Ride machine teleports away as Kirby uses a move from the Fire Copy Ability to burst into flames forward, serving as an attack and boost in speed. This actually lasts longer than the move as a Copy Ability.
- Snow Bowl: The name and move of a Super Ability. The Air Ride machine teleports away as Kirby rolls around while turned into a snowball, growing larger and faster as he rolls ahead, damaging those he hits. This is a variation of the move from the Super Ability, since it starts smaller, and causes no freezing damage to those hit by it; It could be assumed that Kirby is actively choosing not to do the former, since sticking rivals to himself would be detrimental in the races where this Special is used, potentially allowing rivals to win the race.
- Crash: A Copy Ability. Kirby quickly rolls ahead by his own abilities (not the Copy Ability), outpacing his vehicle, then uses the Crash ability to create an omnidirectional explosion that covers around a dozen meters in diameter. Kirby then teleports back to his vehicle by his own abilities.

Others:

This other thread is still opened, waiting for someone with certain wiki editing skills to help out.
We skipped revisions for Star-Crossed World bc that game was a crashgrab. Wait until my next revisions, which will be massive.
Since I'm still completing and creating content to add on Air Riders, the official Twitter keeps dropping lore at random, and since I know this thread will take forever to be accepted, I will edit the proposals over time. I will inform about it, obviously. And I might add new proposals, but it won't get as long as the last thread.

I added up to Hundreds of Meters range via Copy Abilities based on Plasma reaching over 100 meters. You would think our Range page would start "Hundreds of Meters" at 200 meters, but no, it starts at 100 meters.

I translated the interview that revealed Nova to not be evil and I added "Possible Resistance to Empathic Manipulation" to the machines in the story based on the rest of the info there. If it was more definitive, I would add it to all machines in the series, but this is just not the case, with Friend Hearts making the likes of Gim show emotion.
