The Kirby series is surprisingly adaptable, I could definitely see our little pink friend in a spooky adventure, along the lines of the first Luigi's mansion.
I was gonna say… that this made a semi comeback in the final stage of Treat Land in Kirby’s Epic Yarn (a game in which he cannot suck things up, and gets light from candles), and it’s set in a spooky manor… BUT YOU SAIIID IT FOR ME! Great video!
Be careful, they're gonna be after you for calling GCO and KatAM metroidvanias! /j There are so many questions about Kagero Mansion that will likely never be answered or realized. I would personally love for a fangame to attempt to tackle this concept, and see how they choose to approach it. Again, it shows the ambition and creativity of Sakurai...
I think I'd start with Halloween as a base if I made a Kirby "horror" game. Trick or Treating fits in well and could probably be fit into the plot in a similar vein to Costume Quest.
That was a very good video! You gave some fair points on why while Kirby may have some dark themes, it's far from full-on adaptable to horror and tragedy as some fans make it out to be and the way you talked about the story and development of the cancelled Kirby's Fun Pak campaign was very compelling! I can get behind your horrible takes on Nightmare in Dream Land and Triple Deluxe if it means we get amazing videos like this! Maybe.
I would do anything to be able to play Kagerou as a fully realized sub-mode, but I really do like the implications of an RPG Kirby title having been considered before-- Kirby could do well for a turn-based rpg in my opinion. And thank you for being serious about the 'darker aspects' of the franchise, because at the end of the day, being cute and friendly for all is at the series' core, despite how atmospheric some of the 'horror' can get, its still intended for everyone. Have a safe Halloween!
i was thinking about mad father at the idea of playing an hypothetical kagero mansion, with pixel graphic in that style, all dark with an inventory and everything kirby themed. probably i'm just weird XD
I believe the reason Sakurai doesn’t bring up Wario Land that much in Smash Bros, is that after his Kagero Mansion idea for Super Star was turned down, Nintendo decided to use this for Wario Land 2. Sakurai might have put the pieces together, the gap between 1996 and 1998 with the latter having the main character gain powers by touching elements. In a way he felt betrayed. It’s also interesting how Wario Land is inspired by Looney Tunes and slapstick cartoons from the 30’s to 50’s, Tex Avery made Daffy Duck but wasn’t fond of the character while Bob Clampett and Chuck Jones ran with the character in more ways. Sakurai helped shaped the Wario Land series but does not only feel annoyed by a rejected idea of his being utilized behind his back but maybe the design and gameplay of the franchise isn’t his cup of tea, since his opinion is that they’re bland and boring, personally I’m a fan of the series.
*I have no mouth and I must scream* - Kirby, probably
Every WaddleDee… & WaddleDoo… &… a lot of them, actually… 🤔
I have no mouth and I must EAT
“Goo goo gaa gaa” Kirby, Definetly
“COGITO ERGO SUM. I THINK THEREFORE I AM”
- Zero or Star Dream probably

Kirby would work well for Luigi’s Mansion. His mouth is the vacuum
Very nice special Halloween video! Happy Halloween everyone

I have a sympathetic fear for a Kirby with no mouth. It would be terrifying to not be able to open your mouth.

that thumb positively disturbing
Man i wish we had this, it would work well if it was a small eshop exclsuive game like kirby fighters and the others
We have a horror game, it’s Kirby 64
Poyo 😖
Im surprised it wasn't added in superstar ultra
I love this Kirby game!
I forgot you existed lol
And idk why I guess yt just stopped giving me push messages
From what I heard mr sakurai's channel will be gone soon
He’ll stop uploading original videos for a while. Maybe eventually he’ll upload other things, but never at the frequency of now.
Bist du deutscher?
