Hello there!

This is a simple lil blog, posting 5 polled songs a week! Take a listen and cast your vote!

Song posts will be updated each Thursday at around 3PM CST! Ending ones will be edited to reveal the song name and source, and new ones will be posted!

In the meantime, feel free to ask questions, or simply observe!

More information under the cut, for those wanting to know more about how this works, or to see a list of prior-posted songs!

In the meantime, whilst this blog is only for OFFICIAL songs, here's also my youtube playlist of many o' many of fan remixes!! Gotta spread the Kirby Music Love where I can~!

HOW IT WORKS:

A weekly set of 5 songs will be posted, each with a simple question; Do you like this kirby song?

Answer with a yes, eh, or no, and feel free to give your thoughts on why in the tags, if you so choose to reblog it! (It would be nice, larger audience and all)

Consider it a study, of sorts! While I know there's to be viewer-base bias, it's still interesting to see how big the difference is, between individual songs and songs per game (and other stuff!!) alike!

If you're unsure on your answer, perhaps think of it in a different light! Would you listen to this song, if you had the option to either stay on it or simply skip to something else? Would you seek the song out, or generally avoid it?

you. choose what these gijinka losers are gonna wear.

i may do all of these eventually but whichever is top i am guaranteed to do & do first

btw if i do maid outfits i might do a follow up with gijinka taranza & dedede wearing butler outfits (with weapons of course)

for those curious, the reason why i'm less motivated to do pupupu train is because i've already done it in the past but i have a slight urge to do a redo - everything else is new

Dess’s Dream Kirby JRPG

So, as the subject of what kind of Kirby games would I make/like to see, it’s time to let everyone know...I’ve actually been sitting on a mini Kirby JRPG treatment I wrote up a whole YEAR AGO! Which I'm presenting to you now!

If Dess had the time (...which I totally don’t...) I'd make a massive Kirby (Fan) JRPG set in the Dreamy Gear world! It’d include all the various supporting characters/villains as a mix of party members/NPCs. The plot would be divided into chapters: each based on one or more Kirby games, only with a steampunk twist that means it still fits into Dreamy Gear's world...

PLOT:

For example, the Kirby's Dream Land/Kirby's Adventure chapter would be about the new company "Nightmare Enterprises" arriving in town and their shiny factory...which is secretly polluting Breezeburg's water supply! Dedede, who learns about this, jumps into action to close down the eateries in town, including Daroach's cafe, to keep the residents from drinking the polluted water, but this leads to claims and fears from the citizens that a heartless President Dedede is "taking all the Breezeburg residents' food away." This sets Kirby (and Waddle Dee) off to investigate the rumors/clear Dedede's name!

(There's also a subplot about electing the new mayor. New industrial super giant Nightmare puts in his bid and Dedede gets involved too. By the end of the chapter, everyone forgets about the election, making Dedede winner by default. But no one officiates his victory - so he becomes "Self-Titled Mayor Dedede.")

Other ideas include the Haltmanns being railway barons trying to buy up Breezeburg to build their new railway through it while chomping up smaller, friendly competitors like Rick and Co.'s Dream Land Express (Pupupu Train.) Kirby and Waddle Dee meet the amnesiac runaway, Gooey, who is being chased by members of "Dark Matter," the nefarious criminal underground, led by Brighton's mysterious crime boss, Zero, who (in disguise) is poised to marry into the powerful Ripple family! "Friendly" newsie, Marx, secretly sabotages the city's power grid (messing with the lights) to gain access to Galatic Nova.

Taranza, a clumsy Nicola Tesla inventor type makes a device that lets people "peer into other dimensions," only to lose his powerful financial backer and partner Sectonia to the device during the initial test and needs your help to find her. Brighton is made host to a big hoity-toity art show ran by the mysterious Drawcia, and Kirby and the gang team up to try and sneak Adeleine's under-appreciated masterpiece into the show. The Jamba Guild, a rival magic guild seeking to increase the spread of “true magic” in this modern world of steam and science, move into town and begin sniffing around the area for a certain legendary artifact, while the apologetic alchemist Magolor begs you to help him find it before they do. (But both parties secretly have something treacherous planned?!) Daroach's identity as a phantom thief is revealed to the public by Nebula, a member of Dark Matter so uncontrollable, he was kicked out of the gang. And now there's a smear campaign saying the noble Meta Knight is hiring his own mercenary force to launch a coup on the city...?!

Of course, the other characters I haven’t written about here would show up too. Also, in good ol’ JRPG style, Alchemist Magolor would be the party’s healer, but instead of costing MP, he costs money.

Post-FL Addendum: And of course, there would be a plot about the Forgotten Land, too. The Beast Pack would be the PERFECT fit for the “Looks Friendly in the Daytime But Actually Suspicious Circus” plot that often shows up in these! Of course, the reveal is that the Beast Pack aren’t the ones to blame...

GAMEPLAY

Now, those were just plot bunnies. I know the other question that comes up frequently in the JRPG Yes/No discussion is “Are you really going to make an action-platformer franchise like Kirby into a slow turn-based JRPG?”

As to that, no, I would not give my Kirby JRPG a FF-esque turn-based battle system. What would I model my Kirby game’s gameplay on...?

...Hopefully you’re familiar with the “Mystery Dungeon” series?

For those who’ve never played a Mystery Dungeon game, in brief, gameplay comes in the form of these randomly generated dungeons, as you go floor to floor fighting (in this case) a variety of Popstar (or Dreamy Gear) denizens and collecting both adventuring consumables and exciting, rare treasure. Combat is turn-based and boils down to bumping into enemies (weak enemies can run from you when you’re too tough) which means they're great for more “friendly” worlds as you don't get the feeling you're picking on low-level monsters, as might happen if your party of level 99 adventures get "stopped" on the world map by a random encounter that turns out to be three slimes...

Now, Dreamy Gear Kirby doesn't have Copy Abilities, which really works for us here. Let's just leave Kirby their air puffs and ability to inhale. While air puffs are a normal "A to Attack" move, inhale is special. Mystery Dungeon games are grid-based, after all, and Kirby's "Inhale" allows them to change the position of the enemy on the map by drawing them closer! You can them push them away by puffing air again. Meaning that, though Kirby's damage output is weak, they’re an exceptional tactical fighter, if you know how to use the map!

But we all loved Star Allies because you could bring friends along, and I already mentioned major characters showing up as party members, so let's talk friends in this game! Of course you can take friends with you! Mystery Dungeon games are ideal with a single partner, but COULD support up to 3 teammates, when the game is balanced well (and with appropriate AI.)

And just like Kirby, they would all have little twists on the standard attack and movement patterns that give you some unique strategies based on who you take along. Just some idea crafting but...

Bandanna Waddle Dee, at least until he gets the Steam Punk equivalent of his spear, acts as a cheerleader character, boosting your own abilities. President Dedede can use his hammer for a 2x2 square attack, but it's slow and thus, takes 1-2 turns to wind up for. Meta Knight can use his dimensional cape to move an additional space, attack an enemy at a diagonal, and move back in one turn, like the Knight piece in chess.

Magolor uses Gem Apples to attack. They're a distance weapon, so he can't attack anything directly in front of him, but the explosions affect a large area too. Watch out, because they can hit party members. Good thing he'll heal you! Marx can kick jester balls at enemies, which also have range AND provide knockback, but he doesn't play well with others, because the knockback means you have to corner enemies, else chase them around the map. But he's aggressive and great at keeping foes from sneaking up on you.

Adeleine can draw up food items, an absolutely VITAL resource, but they get scattered across the whole level when she's done, so you do have to balance whether the faraway ones are worth the jog to go collect. When you've got Daroach with you, you'll always have the ability to see hidden paths and shortcuts...but the somewhat self-serving Rat will occasionally break from the group to pick up items on his own, which might be bad if he does it while you're fighting a tough enemy!

Other random ability concepts: Taranza lays trap webs that can keep enemies stuck in one space for running away or cornering them. Elline leaves a colorful trail behind you, so that you can always retrace your steps, and Claycia can use her modeling skills to dig out chunks of wall, allowing you to skip entire passages. Kine has a powerful combine attack with Kirby where he sucks KIRBY up and spits HIM out at enemies. Kine can also use this to carry Kirby safely across spike traps and water blocks!

...Just like that, you could ideally come up with ways to make every Kirby character unique, playable, and fun!

A big problem with JRPGs with huge casts is how do you balance the party while keeping everyone relevant. My solution would be to very quickly give you some kind of Steam Punk Communicator/Warp device so that even those who aren't in the party can still comment on what's going on, meaning that if someone has TRULY relevant dialogue, they won't be left out.

That said, you could also use the device to swap party members between floors. Maybe every 5 floors? Again, for party balance, in order to handle the fact that you never have to be exhausted when you have a stable of dozens of party members on hand, we include a mechanic that is both key to Kirby AND Mystery Dungeons. Eating food items!

Instead of relying too much on health and HP (which is still there, of course) a big concern is hunger. The characters (especially Kirby) get hungry while dungeoneering and you have to collect and manage food items to keep everyone fed. This means you can't just cycle through your party members when your HP gets low because if everyone's hunger is low, they'll fall just as fast. (Though it MIGHT be enough to get you to a major floor, someplace where you can swap Adeleine in, or back to the surface, if you need.)

So, there you go! That’s how I would make a Kirby JRPG!

...

...Does anyone (...or several dozen people...) know how to use Unity or Godot or can maybe program a Mystery Dungeon-clone in RPG Maker and have a lot of time on their hands...? ...Asking for a friend...
