Notes: 1-13: Officially localized in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. 2-15: Originally already written in English as “Prayer Song to God”, but a different, localized title is given in-game. 2-36: A pun on “Partizanne” and “Forgettable”. 4-07: Italian for “The Madness of Love”. 5-16: [sic]. Track name was already written in English. 5-33, 5-34, 5-35: Pointedly written as if their respective characters are saying this. In extension, likely the same case with the rest of the jingles. 5-36: More accurately, “oracles”. However, this term is localized in the game’s text as “priestesses”. 6-11: “The Deus Ex Machina [she] Witnessed in [her] Childhood” 6-28: “Allies” and “Arise” have the same pronunciation in Japanese

Many tracks are re-used from older games. I tried to find the corresponding tracks and their official, or at least heavily accepted, English names. To the best of my knowledge, Blowout Blast and TKCDX do not have prior official tracklists, so any tracks from these games, and a few other cases, are directly translated.

Several tracks are already written in English (or in one case, Italian). With the exception of 2-15, I left them as-is.

Greetings, this is Taranza. What do I even say! Well… today is Kirby Triple Deluxe’s 5th anniversary, so I think that calls to celebrate the day! I can’t believe it’s already been 5 years since that… I guess, I’ll go water that flower today!

Kirby Manga Masterpost

I sometimes get people confused by how many Kirby manga there are, or the differences between them. Seeing as none have been localized, and few scanlated, there’s a lot of confusion around the different ones. So I’ve compiled a list of all the Kirby manga I’m aware of (with help of the Japanese wikia page). In total, there are 55 manga (including sequels as separate ones), with 23 serialized manga and 32 anthologies. The manga are all separate canons from each other and the games, but are still based on the games, like how the anime is a separate canon from the games, but still shares a lot of characters and plot points.

Here’s the three that are generally the ones referred to as “the Kirby manga”. All others are below the cut. Warning: it’s a very long post.

Kirby of the Stars! Moretsu Pupupu Hour! (星のカービィ! も〜れつプププアワー!), by Taniguchi Asami.

This is probably the most well known Kirby manga, and the one most people refer to as “the Kirby manga”. It was originally published in CoroCoro Comic, has 13 volumes, and ran from 2006 to 2016, covering games that released in that time period, but also has a lot of random comedy stories. It tends to give the characters more dramatic and wild personalities, such as Marx’s love for blowing up planets, and Meta Knight’s narcissism. It’s scanlated by Kirby’s Manga Funshack. (Tumblr) (MangaDex)

Kirby of the Stars: Pupupu Hero (星のカービィ プププヒーロー), and its sequel, Kirby of the Stars: Ultra Super Pupupu Hero (星のカービィ ウルトラスーパープププヒーロー), by Aoki Kei and Mikamaru.

This manga is popular for its art and the fact that a lot of its chapters focus on Magolor. It tends to have very “on model” type art in comparison to Moretsu, which has more expressive, comedic art - a good way of telling the difference between them. Pupupu Hero ran in Dengeki Nintendo: For Kids from 2009 to 2013, and was compiled into two (very limited edition) manga. Ultra Super Pupupu Hero ran in Dengeki Bazooka from 2014 to 2016 until the magazine was suddenly cancelled, and was never compiled into a volume. The creators are currently petitioning for get the series reprinted, as it’s hard to find now. It’s scanlated by The Fountain of Dreams. (Tumblr) (MangaDex)

Kirby of the Stars: The Legend of Dedede in Dream Land (星のカービィ デデデでプププなものがたり), by Hikawa Hirokazu.

This one also ran in CoroCoro Comic, from 1994 to 2006, then was revived in 2017 in CoroCoro Aniki and continues to run. It has 25 volumes, plus a "Best Of" compilation and mini-″25.5″ volume. The focus is on slapstick gags and dramatic behaviors from Kirby (usually negatively affecting Dedede). It was at one point picked up to be localized by Viz, under the title Kirby, but was dropped shortly after. That is the main reason it’s still some people’s most known Kirby manga. Only a few chapters have been scanlated, by Golden Roze. (MangaDex)

Serialized Manga:

Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ), by Sakuma Yoshiko, was published in Shougaku Ichinensei, Ninensei, and Sannensei from 1992 to 2009. Compiled into 12 volumes, plus a "Best Of" and other special editions and picture books. Kirby's a troublemaker who will do anything for food, but doesn't mean to do bad. He also wasn't originally from Dream Land, being born from a flower in the shape of a tiny star in a faraway place. He ran out of things to eat while growing, so he set off on a journey, eventually getting to Dedede's Castle and eating all his food.

Great Commotion in Dream Land (プププランドは大さわぎ), aka Knock Out Kirby of the Stars (かっとび星のカービィ), by Abe Sayori, was published in Shougaku Ichinensei from 1992 to 1993. The one with the strange original characters, including a human girl.

Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ), by Chibi Nyanne, was published in Shougaku Sannensei from 1993 to 1994. Kirby frequently has a :3 face, and this series also uses human characters.

Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ), by Maeda Noemi, was published in Shougaku Ichinensei from 1994 to 1996. Kirby has a more bratty, mischievous personality.

Kirby of the Stars: Exciting Grand Adventure (星のカービィ ウキウキ大冒険), by Taijan Hokuto, was published in Monthly Shounen Gag King from 1997 to 1999, and was compiled into one volume. It has a 4-koma format, but a continuous story.

Pupupu Grand Adventure ~Kirby of the Stars~ (プププの大冒険 〜星のカービィ〜), by Daimaru Roketto, was published in Pocket Land from 1997 to 1998. Rick, Kine, and Coo see Kirby as a friend and send him advice, but Kirby has a self-centred personality, and doesn’t give them much care.

Kirby Quiz (カービィクイズ), by Takase Hiroshi, ran in Preparation for Entry: Kindergarten Learning for an unknown amount of time around 1995 to at least 1999. The "chapters" are quizzes, puzzles, and games for kindergarten children to complete, though there's sometimes little manga along with that.

Kirby of the Stars: Friends of Dreamland (星のカービィ プププランドの仲間たち), by Himeno Kagemaru, was published in Shougaku Gonensei and Rokunensei from 2002 to 2003. Kirby's kind but has strange behaviours, such as making crop circles in fields and filling a pool with detergent to wash it with a tornado. He lives in a house along with Waddle Dee, Cappy, Broom Hatter, and Scarfy.

Kirby of the Stars: Great Commotion in Dream Land! (星のカービィ プププランドは大さわぎ!), by Himeno Kagemaru, was published in Shougaku Yonensei in 2003, with two specials, one in 2004 for Amazing Mirror and one in 2005 for Canvas Curse.

Poyo Poyo Kirby (ポヨポヨカービィ), by Haribuki Shikimi, was published in Famitsu Cube & Advance from 2006 to 2009. It's a 4-koma with game information. Kirby speaks in "Poyo" like in the anime.

Kirby of the Stars: Kirby & Dedede's Pupupu Diary (星のカービィ カービィ&デデデのプププ日記), first by Michi Michiru, then by Matsuyama Noboru, was published in Famitsu DS+Wii from 2006 to 2016, and is currently being published in Terebi Gemu Magazine. There are 6 appendix collections (booklets only released in magazines), and one "Best Of" volume. Kirby and Dedede are often with each other in a non-hostile way.

Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ), by Miyasumi, was published in Chara Parfait from 2006 to 2011. They're short, colour comics focusing on specific games.

Kirby of the Stars: Pakutto Big Laughter Show!! (星のカービィ パクッと大爆ショー!!), by Kawakami Yuuki, was published in CoroCoro Ichiban from 2012 to 2014, and compiled into two volumes. "Pakutto" is an onomatopoeia for a type of eating noise (think Pacman). It was revived just for 2015 as Kirby of the Stars: More Big Laughter Show!! (星のカービィ もっと大爆ショー!!), after the author recovered from illness.

Kirby of the Stars: Poyo Poyo Everyday (星のカービィ ぽよぽよな毎日), by Michi Michiru, is published in Pikopuri, starting in 2012, and is still being serialized. It's a 4-koma series, and despite being more modern, has characters showing up from the earliest games. It has a single volume so far.

Kirby of the Stars: Full 4-Koma Parfait♥ (星のカービィ まんぷく4コマぱふぇ♥), by Karino Tau & Poto, published in Chara Parfait Comic & Puzzle in 2013. It only ran for two months. It also has the same illustrator that does the novels' illustrations. The title's a punny one, with "Manpaku" meaning full as in "complete" but also full as in "full stomach".

Kirby of the Stars: Sparkling★Pupupu World (星のカービィ キラキラ★プププワールド), by Nanjou Akisama, was published in Chara Parfait in 2014 until April, and is still publishing in Chara Parfait Comic & Puzzle. It has one volume. It's a 4-Koma that focuses on Kirby and Waddle Dee.

Kirby of the Stars: Daily Round Diary! (星のカービィ 今日もまんまる日記!), by Dynamic Tarou, is published in CoroCoro Ichiban, starting in 2016 and is still being serialized. Had a heavy focus on Robobot. Kirby is an innocent airhead, and Meta is a shy subordinate of Dedede who says he knows all about Kirby, but actually knows very little. Also, it's a "Manmaru Diary", with "Manmaru" meaning both "cute" and "perfectly circular/round", so it's also a punny title.

Kirby of the Stars: Full Pupupu Fantasy (星のカービィ 〜まんぷくプププファンタジー〜), by Takeuchi Ibuki, is published in CoroCoro Comic, starting in 2016 and is still being serialized. It has one volume so far. Kirby's a bit dense, such as how he didn’t know how to make cup ramen. He and Dedede are friends.

Anthology Comics

These all have a similar format: various non-connected 4-Koma, with each “chapter” being a collection of these strips done by a different author. They’re mostly just separated by game.

New information on the Wave 3 update has surfaced from Nintendo Dream! This post covers previously unannounced details about the update including gameplay and other content, so spoilers may be present. More to come!

Credit goes to Popcorn for translation, as well as Falco Lau and Jediwilli for proofreading.

Three new Dream Friends appear!

In this update, Magolor from Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, Taranza from Kirby: Triple Deluxe, and Susie from Kirby: Planet Robobot, join the game. All the main characters from the mainline titles up to now, have joined the fray. In Guest Star ????, the new characters get their own unique maps!

Magolor, Taranza, and Susie, make a dream debut!

The story that depicts what happens post game: Heroes in Another Dimension.

The new mode that takes place after story mode, Heroes in Another Dimension, is a new adventure to enjoy after clearing the main game. Kirby and all of the Dream Friends all take turns to figure out puzzles, while collecting the Friend Hearts.

Friends Hearts are scattered about in various locations, and the number collected affects rank.

New bosses appear and stand in the of way Kirby and friends. Pictured: Parallel Big Kracko.

You fight The Three Mage Sisters again?! Not only that, it looks like you fight the three of them at the same time…!

The Ultimate Choice’s new difficulty, Soul Melter Extra!

After clearing the story mode, the fun boss rush mode The Ultimate Choice is unlocked. Up until now, the highest difficulty was Soul Melter. And now, a higher difficulty has been added. Even a devoted Star Allies player will be surprised by the difficulty… By all means, give it a go!

It’s extremely hot! The new Parallel bosses appear too!

6 new Celebration Pictures!

Celebration Pictures are illustrations themed after various generations of games and dream friends up for display. This time there are now 6 additional illustrations, which brings the total up to 18!

A point of interest to look forward to in all updates. Collect them all!

Bojna… no, it’s bonjam! Were you not all confused? This time, I present Susie’s special video. You might think of her as just a sweet office lady, but she employs various weapons, fighting in a magnificent manner… What do you mean, “I’ll exterminate you using science”!? Why, you metal spinning top! I will absolutely never lose to you!

Magolor Soul’s theme and Kirby’s Return to Dreamland’s ending cutscene song, from the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra.

Figured you’d all like this if you liked the Marx cover so much. I don’t wanna get too carried away with all these uploads, but maybe I’ll post a few more.

Thanks again to Luigiblood and Pop for saving this audio from oblivion.

Marx’s theme from the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra, in high quality.

Thank you very much to Popcorn and Luigiblood from r/kirby for the audio, without them this song could have been lost to the ages forever.

Bojnam? …Or whatever they said! Your beautiful newscaster, #Susie (me), has obtained some obtained some top secret materials about the free Wave 3 update! This is my production process! It’s the creation of an unmatched beauty. Look forward to the release day on 11/30!

(This was far before I started translating tweets but it’s referencing when she ran the account during the summer of 2017)

Bonjam. I’ve acquired completely confidential materials of a new Dream Friend from the free Wave 3 update. This time, we have #Taranza, appearing from Kirby Triple Deluxe. Furthermore, this cannot be a video of his production process, can it! This completed face looks idiotic… take care. You should watch out for him.

Once again, bonjam. For our certain person who seems to be soon to be said, there is already an answer. This silhouette is of a character who made his debut in Kirby’s Return to Dreamland, #Magolor! It seems this is the liar wizard who attempted to cajole 10,000,000 retweets out of us. Such a smooth convincer… what a capable friend!

Bonjam. I’ve gotten ahold of a silhouette of a new Dream Friend from the Wave 3 free update. However, this time, our person offered the photo to me. He says, due to his popularity, he will “hit 10,000,000 retweets for sure!”. Surely he can’t have had the influence necessary to reach that!

[popstarpress]

Hey here’s something special- a better quality version of ep 60!

Huge thanks to fukushuusha for capturing this version for us! :D

[popstarpress]

Heeey look it’s episode 85 subbed! Finally.

This summer was killer. Hopefully I’ll get back on a decent schedule.
