Kirby Has a Bad Reputation

- it's always "Kirby's a monster" this, "Kirby kills gods" that, but at the end of the day, Kirby's a good guy.
well this took forever, sorry, I'm hoping to get a semi-consistent schedule going forward, and I'm hoping it'll be more than 2 videos a year.
Bandana Dee sprites by game-boy09!
huge thanks as always to the wonderful people of The Spriter's Resource!
oh, and check out my let's play channel! We play Kirby sometimes! and other stuff! / @ioab - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
You’d think Bandana Dee would be on Kirby’s side atleast since he’s basically become Kirby’s sidekick in recent games
In Super Star Ultra you have to fight bandana dee
I was thanking the same thing
Revenge of the King in Super Star Ultra takes place much early in the timeline.
I think since Kirby proves his worth in revenge of the king, king deedee and his companion join Kirby on future instalments, this fan animation takes place before / during some of the superstar levels.
He isn't in Kirby Super Star Ultra.
This was really, really great. I love the development shown here, with absolutely no words. I loved how there’s far more characters shown than before, but everything seems to flow fine and make sense. BWD and Dedede not being totally useless was really nice to see.
That Marx Soul teaser after the ending is interesting.
Where is Marx Soul?
I don’t see him, just kirby and dyna blade
@@ptanker9236 At the very, VERY end after the fade-to-black. You can see a faint silhouette of him, with a sound effect to match.
A friend heart from Ultra Nerd, why thank you.
I was hesitant to watch at first because I don't like fan animations but holy heck everything from the plot to sound design was deeply invested in being faithful to the series. You earned your sub Ultra Nerd.
Who the hell doesn't love fan animations?
@@the-NightStar probably because most of them are super edgy
@@the-NightStar sometimes I find fan animations to be kinda weird, which is hypocritical because I myself make YTPs and short memes and remix mashups of the series I enjoy.
@@ToxicPea It all depends on finding the right ones. There are pretty icky ones, but than there are well made ones. So thankfully you'll find more of those well made ones I hope.
@@jaxthewolf4572 I do hope so, being in that category myself...kind of lol.
absolutely love how marx explains two sides of one story, and i love how all the characters interact with eachother. i especially love how all the artwork is consistent, and it really feels like something from kirby itself! the marx fight scene was cool as well, and kirby teaming up with his friends in the end after all the ruckus that happened earlier is nice to see. overall a really good animation, and pretty underrated!
2:05
Marx: Lies to Kirby and his friends about the chaos that's happening in dreamland... again...
King Dedede and Co: Decieved yet again but understand what Marx means
Kirby: *W a t ?*
It’s… It’s beautiful. It has everything I could ever want as a Kirby fan. The fight choreography is wonderful, and it flows so naturally. And the plot and characters feels so faithful to the series. I love this.
As someone who LOVED Kirby Super Star Ultra since childhood, this animation is incredible! Watching this makes me miss those glorious days. 😅
I didn't have Ultra until 2008 when I got the DS.
@@jameswallace3439 that's... when it was released.
@@biomecraft356 I know. That was my point. (Like if you get the reference)
You know, regarding the first couple lines in the description... the whole idea of Kirby being this out-of-character monster who only cares for food doesn't sit well with me as a longtime fan, and those kind of jokes are more often than not tossed in with the likes of ''Super Mushrooms are drugs'' and ''Toad and Navi are annoying'' when it comes to cheap ''gamer humor'' that only the likes of Dorkly would unironically enjoy. With that said, it's always great to see fan animations that depict Kirby as the lovable pink puffball he truly is, and this is certainly no exception.
I just hope that Marx has learned his lesson after attempting to squander Kirby's reputation... but then again, this is Marx we're talking about. Great work as always, Ultra Nerd, and happy holidays!
I think the real problem isn't the joke itself, but that when people take this concept, very few experiment with it, and when they do the final product is either painfully average or being desperate on seeking your attention. Now, I don't mind the dark content being exclusive to a second half in most of these videos nor am I opposed to their first one being lighthearted - if anything, it makes it all the worse when the latter part kicks in and it's kinda like the new Kirby games -, but the execution in them is awful. There seems to be an odd obsession of making Kirby look and sound like something that came out of a creepypasta, but it doesn't compliment his character at all. Heck, what kind of personality is "killing people because they exist"? And I would overlook them if they weren't taking themselves seriously or trying to tell an "important" message, but they do. Whenever someone comments "I don't remember Kirby being this evil!" there always has to be someone replying "Nah, he's always been like this!" and for the same reasons: Oh, but Mouse Attack. Oh, but this is just one of his alternative counterparts. Oh, but it's a joke.
The best case of why I dislike this thread is Dumbest of All Words' analysis on Kirby's character: Kirby Sucks: A Mathematical & Ethical Proof. Right off the bat, we have a person taking on an important question in the fanbase with a (mostly) serious script, but the editing kills any dignity the video had to begin with. The average scene goes "Kirby should go to jail for his sins! Also, haha, little pink borb has butt cheeks!" And don't get me started on the evidence! She keeps going on and on about how Kirby is a war criminal that puts his face in all of our bad moments but she rarely has anything to back up her claims, except when she makes an animation that depicts what SHE THINKS Kirby would do if he saw people about to get invested! "I can take months making an animation of my personal headcannons, but God forbid I have to study any information from Kirby's games besides Mouse Attack's plot!" That's bad mentality, especially for science analyses! A theory may not be accurate but that doesn't mean you shouldn't try making it even just a bit believable. Don't spit out dumb things you just thought about, even if your theory is crazy to begin with! Headcannons are valid, but they don't salvage scientific facts.
Not to say she doesn't use any "official" evidence but that's just what most people would use to make Kirby look bad. We can talk smack about MatPat's theory as much as we want, but at least that had some unique evidence (despite being inaccurate), Dumbest of All Words' references stuff like Mouse Attack's story, him having infinite power and (in my opinion, the dumbest) his adventures starting due to his naps or snack times being interrupted because others do too.
First of all, can we all just find an excuse to defend Mouse Attack's plot? I mean, is it too hard to picture Kirby having a reason to get that cake back? People keep defending Meta Knight battling him because "he's training him" and I think that's a good reason (it doesn't justificate what he did in revenge of Meta Knight or in Squeak Squad later on but still), some may think King Dedede was possessed during Kirby's Dream Land, which is kinda crazy but fine, I can see why someone would think that since outside of the spinoffs and the anime, Dedede was never a villain nor an antagonist, but whenever someone brings up Mouse Attack's plot, everyone blames the game or the company behind it for making Kirby out of character. What if the people around him made a big deal out of that cake to the point where he wanted it so badly? What if he was so hungry that he couldn't think properly and didn't consider buying another piece? What if that was its last piece? Kids tend to do stupid stuff more than you think, but no one acknowledges that or maybe everyone disregards it when Kirby makes a mistake. No joke, every time people posts a comic of Kirby doing one, I always saw someone calling him the pink demon in the comments (Also, this might be a small nitpick, but can we stop using appearances of names like "pink terror" or "pink demon" as evidence that he's a bad guy? It's just a nickname! Does that mean Mega Man is literally a bomb-throwing robot because one of his nicknames is the blue bomber?)
I hate to be that guy, but I don't see power as one of the main reasons a character can be evil! Just because a character is able to do something, doesn't mean he WOULD do it! He may be able to suck up the entire sea but that alone doesn't warrant him doing that willingly!
And as for the other two, they're even worse than the first two combined! The former may be worse but that's subjective, I guess! I don't get why the times his naps get interrupted are evidence that he's mean-spirited! I mean, Kirby fought Dyna Blade in her own game because it was rumored that she stole Dream Land's crops, he fought the Haltmann company which tried to hurt Dream Land's environment just to bring back Haltmann's daughter and he fought the Jambastion crew because they wanted to summon a god of destruction, casually possess people, and hurt those who were against it. His naps aren't a major plot point, you can easily change them to Kirby playing football and it wouldn't crucially change the story's pacing. And as for the latter, well, you COULD say that Kirby fought King Dedede in Dream Land because he wanted the food all to himself, but then HOW do you explain him throwing some food in the water for the fishes to eat and then the rest to the civilians? That alone perfectly represents Kirby's selflessness, and if you're going to use Squeak Squad's story as evidence that he once committed genocide for no reason, I'll let you know that most of the enemies in that game attack him in 90% of the other installments.
The ending really takes the cake (no pun intended)! You wanna know why she did this video? So that others could twit at Nintendo of America #cancelKirby posts and remove him from Smash because she hates his down-B. Man, if that doesn't scream egoism, I don't know what does!
Kirby Sucks: A Mathematical & Ethical Proof is everything wrong with this trend and I hope people start to become more creative with it, but judging from the new videos from the most popular Kirby-related channels, I doubt they will!
@@someguylostontheinternet4504 Well, I suppose that's one video I'll never watch; Kirby slander will never be tolerated by yours truly, you can trust me on that one.
@@pain3236 Well... in fairness, that's only because Flagship pretty much flanderized everyone in Squeak Squad. Heck, in the next mainline Kirby game, Kirby's Return To Dream Land, Kirby actually ignores the slice of cake he ended up dropping on the ground in the opening cutscene in favor of helping out Magolor. And it certainly helps that the flavor of the cake slice in question was strawberry shortcake, just like the slice that Squeak Squad's plot infamously revolved around.
Granted, you could make the argument that Kirby may still be at fault in some way given Magolor's betrayal later in the game, but even then that was due to the Master Crown and not Magolor himself. But either way, given that Kirby is normally this friendly kid who is selfless and heroic to a fault, his actions in Squeak Squad definitely come across as being completely out-of-character. Honestly, I'd say it's comparable to how Tails was treated in Sonic Forces... just in case you know what I'm talking about.
Oh, and uh... enemies technically don't die in the Kirby series, they respawn off-screen. I mean, how else can you explain Bandana Waddle Dee showing up as the sole audience member of the Masked Dedede fight in Kirby Super Star Ultra regardless if he was swallowed by Kirby or not prior to the battle?
@@pain3236 Meta knight tried to conquer dreamland and didn’t try to explain Kirby what the hell was happening and the box didn’t have he’s cake, squeak squad has flanderization but the fandom always blames Kirby for everything even if he does nothing that bad to be Calle the pink demon other than killing gods while the other characters are treated like they didn’t made horrible things for stupid stuff so we can just send squeak squad characterization down the toilet please?
The whole point of Marx is literally being a exception of Kirby universe rules, given the Chance to redeem but still being a unredeemable baddie, after all he’s the only dlc dream friend in star allies with a boss fight and even in smash bros he gets the title of the creepy one taking villager place has the creepiest and still feeling unnerving and that there’s something wrong with the fight even with sephiroth in scene
After all Marx is the only idiot in the franchise which decides to be mean with Kirby and decides to be a unredeemable little trash,Marx isn’t a being made to naturally oppose Kirby in the great scheme of things but just a opposite in everything just being a evil Kirby drunk with power which instead of a friendly puffball he’s a backstabber jester
So don’t ever except him to ever redeem, he will just try to destroy the universe any day because he simply wants to see some chaos
This is the most underrated kirby animation and channel i have ever seen
You, sir, have talent
Never trick kirby and his homies
Wow wow wow wow wow... What the 'HAL' was that?! A new Kirby animation from The Ultra Nerd?!!
With each animation you get better and better !! I can see the effort you put into each video and each new animation shows an incredible improvement !! I've really seen you progress since your first video (which was amazing too!). You have become one of the best Kirby animators from my point of view.
It is so impressive that you can reflect the personalities of each character so well through your animations, and that is something that stands out a lot about you, because I have seen thousands of Kirby animations and none comes as close to the personalities of the characters as what do you, it's just amazing !! How fluid your animations are and the sound effects you put into them, it shows that you put a lot of effort into it. I imagine animating just 10 seconds must take quite a while, and doing it so meticulously is highly admirable.
Again I say that you are one of the best Kirby animators, and I hope you continue to show us your talent !!
You're so AMAZING!! I really love your work!! Keep it up!!
(Sorry my bad english btw... But... I really admire you!!)
Alright alright, who forgot to feed Marx?
this is literally a masterpiece? every pixel is perfect. it's so pleasing to look at and i also love the plot and how you potray each character
I cannot explain to you how much I love your stuff. The action is great, and the characters are portrayed very well! Also, seeing Kirby give Meta Knight that apple warmed my soul so much. :)
2:46 I like that little slam Kirby does to the floor,makes him look more angry
I love your animations, they are always entertaining to see and I love the battle scenes and the interactions between the characters 🌟
some constructive criticism, some of the non-fight scenes that tell the story are paced too fast. like it could definitely be easier to tell what was going on if it didn’t go so quick. Actually that could help a little with some of the fight scenes as well. Like more meaty strong hits instead of so many quick swipes. Especially from Dedede.
I like the quick scenes honestly, it shortens the video and is more satisfying to look back at
I agree with ⬆️
I thought the marx fight scenes were too fast-paced.
This was great. Most fan animations don’t get Kirby right tbh, so it’s a nice change of pace seeing his cause destruction while trying to do the right thing like what he actually does.
Amazing work. Brings me back to the SMBZ days, on my favorite game of all time too
clicked expecting a video essay about Kirby, surprised but happy as hell!
This is so much fun, and the animation is so clean and smooth, and the sound effects are so satisfying, plus all the personality the characters have, i can’t stop watching! peak kirby fanimation here!
This is so cute and in-character. I love these animations so much, thank you for making them!!
Kirby doesn't have enemies just frenemies
Your animations are so fluid, funny, and incredible, the battles are so good, I love it
I liked how Whispy Woods defended Kirby before Marx came out of nowhere
Man drops masterpieces every decade
this can be a story for a official game
These animations are the best, legit found this channel an hour ago and I’m already hooked, this is some of the best animation I’ve seen in god knows how long
As always such delightful fight sequences so many things moving at once but it all feels like a dance!! Really cool stuff!
This is my absolute favorite type of content in the internet, your animations are perfect in every way!
Why are the fight scenes so good tho
Everything about this animation was insanely impressive, especially the subtle face gestures! Awesome work! Instant sub 🙂👍
Super underrated sprite animation, this is fantastic!
This is 100% something kirby would do, and it feels so canon lol
Great job on this!!! Super impressive work like always.
YOUR ANIMATIONS ARE SO GOOD!!!
Your pixel animations are so smooth! Subbed!
2:20 is like kirby is askingo or why dedede is killing his own waddle dees or why are they dancing like that way because only kirby dances like this

1:05 ngl wispy woods looks kinda cute when he makes that crying face
i am here to let you all know the waddles dee's recovered fine and are doing great
I didn’t know i needed this kind of animation until today!
Man, this game is one of my favorites, I know it by heart. Seeing an animation like this, with musics, backgrounds, sprites and sounds from SSU is SO COOL and so nostalgic!! I can see new adventures in this game, it’s wonderful!! It’s really awesome!! Thanks for this!! ❤️❤️🤩
Yknow you never see everyone casually hanging out with each other this was a great animation that captures that. Amazing job
ah, your animations bring me so much joy
After seeing this, I ABSOLUTELY need to subscribe to your channel!
Came here expecting a video about what the reputation of the kirby *series* is to non-players. I was surprised, but not disappointed as to the actual result. Nice work!
Love the story here! Well done!
Bro your animations do be clean though. Also I felt it at 2:47 like damn the power
Kirby is Kirby, may not always be the brightest, but is always willing to help and make friends, and defeat enemies that pose a threat. And food
The animation is SO GOD DAMN SMOOTH. Wow
Yo can we all just pretend this is canon, cause honestly that's how amazing this is, the story was great, characters were faithful, everything was just fantastic, 20/10
your kirby animations are top tier frfr
this is extremely well done I LOVE it
It's actually well made!!
The kabula theme where marx fighting Kirby is amazing though.
This whole thing was a blur as far as the story goes but the fight scenes are too good for me to care
That was a pretty animation. Happy Holidays!
This is one of the best animations I have ever seen. I loved it :) 🐡
love how you can hear marx scream as he's buried under a pile of waddle dees
Kirby has the intellect and understanding of conflicts as much as a 5-7 year old.
The fighting was tight and the Kirby was adorable. Good animation.
This was adorable great work!
This is SOO cute and the animation is just very fluid and captivating
This is so good what the heck!!!! Keep making more!!!
1:49
He justs flies to the food without inflating himself as he was attracted by the scent of the food like a cartoon character!
I like the detail.
I love how your avatar is that one enemy from kirby's adventure that's used to light up dark rooms lol
I thought this was gonna be a video essay about how Kirby games are way better than people give them credit for, but this is much better. SO much better.
Why is this animation so SMOOTH?!
3:59
Dinablade: bro wtf
2:02 ...WHY WOULD YOU FEED YOUR CHILDREN... ANOTHER CHILD
Really fantastic work!
We are not safe to say that kirby isnt a supporter for team trees
Amazing animation. You deserve more views. Good job.
This animation is incredible
kirby is a good guy but he is indeed a chaos deity who kills other chaotic evil beings beyond
mortal comprehensiom
bro, awesome work
Kirby and I'm going to make a good reputation with Dyna blade
Wow. This is the first video I liked in a while

ウルトラスーパーデラックスのドットだ 遊んでたから嬉しい
スピードと迫力のある戦いですごかった！
…最初のファイヤーライオンはマルクの照らしただったのだろうか
10 out of flipping 10

Bro their entire battle, priceless.
Alternate ending: Kirby spits out the mini boss and restores peace to the land.
this was great to watch
I thought this was gonna be a video essay about the impressions the series gives to other people lol
How they all gang on Kirby and beaten the poyo out of him lol good d work you deserve a subscriber and a cookie for all the work
This was a beautiful animation,freat work!
Dyna Blade? More like "Bruh" Blade
Omg I’ve never really liked animations like this but for some reason these are the best I’ve seen, can’t wait for more and would love if you got a patron so I could help out
The fact that people still make these in modern day brings a smile to my face
pretty great storyboarding
Holy that s some quality stuff
Surprised Dyna Blade
Something I didn't know I needed
Did marx just fried the dynablade baby? 💀
11/10 animation honestly.
