If you think I'm wrong about something or like something needs to be genuinely corrected,
reach me out!
Please note this webpage also contains: My opinions and My typos.
Never ask me this.
Okay, in all seriousness, that depends.
The Kirby franchise as a whole doesn't have a continuos canon written down.
So it's kinda up to where you draw the line.
If you hold me at knifepoint I could try to break down like this:
* Game Canon:
Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Adventure, Kirby's Dream Land 2,
Kirby Super Star, Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards,
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby: Squeak Squad, Kirby's Return to Dream Land,
Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Star Allies, Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
Those games are considered to be the 'core'/'main' line games
due to a bunch of reasons (direct interviews, internal game names).
Since a few of these games have "alternative" stories minigames
or special/extra modes,
some people only consider what happens
during the main story to be canon, but may choose to
include lore information (such as information in special
modes-exclusive bosses' descriptions)
to be canon.
In addition, there are several spin-off games that some people
may or may not include in what they consider as canon. Same as the special modes information,
some people only consider lore information to be canon, while disregarding the events
of the games themselves.
A further level of information comes from interviews, either to
news sources, videos or game magazines. Official websites, manuals, art books, game guides and concept art
may also be used to pull information and details from, which may be considered canon.
* Anime Canon:
This would be Kirby Right back at Ya!, which has its own lore,
worldbuilding, characters and stuff. The anime has been referenced
a few times in the games
(such as enemies appearing in Mass Attack), but if you ask me, I consider them
to be two completely different things.
* Light Novels Canon:
There's a collection of Kirby novels by Mie Takase. These
are based off the the games (main and spin-off),
and novels 18 and 20 have the games' direction as a co-writter.
* Manga Canons:
Each manga series has its own canon.
* Sakurai Canon:
This is like whatever Sakurai says. But uh, I don't know why you would do this.
* Anything else that is official (comics, ads, comments, etc etc, toys, collabs)
For maximum Kirby enjoyment I reccommend doing whatever you want.
For example, I like to
HC with full game canon,
with some pupupuhero manga sprinkled in for fun.
I believe all canons are made equal except Kirby german comic
but reality can be whatever u want man i dont give a gaf
magolor voice: I LOVE lying.
