Archive 1: 11/12/05 - 07/09/07

Contents 1 Archive 1 2 German comics 3 Video Games and the Anime... 4 Species Section 5 Kirby Air Ride 6 Height 7 Kirby Image from Brawl 8 Suggestion 9 Snapshots

[edit] Archive 1

I went ahead and archived the talk page. I'm surprised that it had never been archived before, with comments dating back to November 2005 still on it! Plus, it was 54kb long, which is rather large. Disaster Kirby 20:12, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] German comics

Some more info on these would be nice. Like the name for example. 75.153.231.20 03:51, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe they can be found in Kirby's Rainbow Resort. 208.101.155.204 21:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Video Games and the Anime...

Are they completely separate continuities, or is the anime a prequel to the video game series? 208.101.155.204 21:24, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

They're separate entities. I think this was stated by Sakurai in an interview, but don't quote me on it. Disaster Kirby^Talk 21:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

If I'm right, the only 2 games the anime is similar to are Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland and Kirby Air Ride. Hikar

[edit] Species Section

The Species section is pretty shabby, and it's mostly speculation anyway. Since Kirby's "species" has never really been addressed within any game, I think this section can be removed. --Shroom Mage 18:59, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

I think the first paragraph and the part about Batamon should be kept. They refer to in game occurrences which could cause confusion so it's relevant to mention. The two middle paragraphs are probably unnecessary though.~ Dusk Knight 02:40, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kirby Air Ride

Should there be anything about this in the article?Zman42 (talk) 01:50, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Like What? 24.11.82.215 (talk) 02:07, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Height

How tall is Kirby? My friend has been rather insistent that in Smash Bros 64 there's a character bio that explicitly states that Kirby is around 9 inches tall, but I don't recall this at all. It may be that I just never looked at the feature or anything, but if someone could verify this it'd be cool. --Bluedeanie (talk) 21:36, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

The article says 8 inches tall. I can confirm his in-game bio from the first Smash Bros. game says 8 inches. Also here's a link translating the other source listed for his height:[1]. It gives his "size" as 20cm.~ Dusk Knight 02:26, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Kirby Image from Brawl

There is no image or Kirby in Brawl. I don't know how to upload images, so, here's a link to an image from the Smash Bros DOJO!!. If anyone nkows how to, can they get this image into the article. (http://www.smashbros.com/en_us/characters/images/kirby/kirby_071220f-l.jpg) Thank you. Epass (talk) 12:19, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion

I personally think it's a good idea to list Kirby's copy abilities.--75.85.111.141 (talk) 15:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

That material is not encyclopedic, its game guide information, read WP:NOT#GUIDE. - Caribbean~H.Q. 16:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I never tried to make it game guide info. Sheesh.--75.85.111.141 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 16:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello? did anyone read?--75.85.111.141 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:03, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

I may not have been your intention but it essentially was, list of attacks, abilities or weapons are among the things considered to be game guide information, then again you can find more attention by raising your concern in the relevant project. - Caribbean~H.Q. 21:08, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Snapshots
