@@MelonpostingThe funny thing for me here is, after seeing Ribbon eat a bug, I can't see it actually too unrealistic for her to wanna get a taste of a Waddle Dee...
Now that you mention it, she didn't eat with the others in the cutscene after defeating Pix. She kinda just sat there watching. Maybe she canonically ate a bug off camera, but the idea just stayed with the development team so the rest of us either assumed that she already ate something else or just wasn't hungry
I love this, very faithful to the original style and flair of the game. Frankly wished they let her be weirder like this, it’s a fun bit of characterization.
Having discovered this scrapped lore through your incredibly authentic cutscene, all I can say is... _I can't even_ Apparently extraterrestrial fae love to eat bugs? What are we supposed to do with that information?
This just in: A Local Touhou fairy godmother eats an unarmed father of 78 unprovoked, leaving the mother brokenhearted and a *widow* . More on this at 9.
...I'm not sure whether to be grossed out by this or intrigued by the thought that the other fairies might eat bugs too. Not even Kirby eats bugs (or at least worms)...
@@Mordecrox I mean, yeah? The game can have eldritch abominations all it wants, but this is oddball humor. Like, it's funny, silly, maybe even a bit gross, and you're just curious about the thought process behind it. In fact, it's a good thing you bring up 02, the source of all Dark Matter... that has a cactus/thorny bramble tail and attacks you with it by releasing green gas clouds. He attacks you by passing gas.
Part of me is like, yeah, this definitely wasn’t gonna make it into the final product and was probably just a joke between the devs. But then I’m also wondering if this was meant to imply the Ripple Star fairies were all bug eaters (or Ribbon was supposed to be a bit of a weirdo)?
I'm Ms. Ribbon. This is my game. I eat the bug. I ate the bug. This is the end. I love you.

The list of kirby characters who DON'T eat others alive, is probably smaller than the list of those who do.
Gooey, Dedede, and now even Ribbon
Probably?
Somehow Hyness is one of the ones who doesn't. I don't wanna see what his mouth looks like
Morpho Knight been real quiet since this was dropped
List of characters it WON'T absorb:
Kirby
Ribbon
Bandana Dee(?)
...
THE LOATHSOME BUG EATER
THE LOATHSOME POD DWELLER
The gang literally sets up a picnic at the end of every level, but Ribbon deliberately decides
"m mm... *i n s e c t"*
Fairies, am I right?
I remember randomly eating crickets as a kid
I can see why they scrapped this. This is very weird.
But kirby eating everything and everyone alive isnt weird ?
@EEVEE_fan16 YEAH, when Kirby does it, anyone else eating bugs is weird.
Like Kirby, Ribbon likes eating living beings.
The perfect couple ❤
Well, she is a dragonfly winged fairy. Dragonflies being predatory insects, her eating bugs makes sense.
Oh I see, that's a neat detail.
Why are you trying to link science to a Kirby game
Okay, that's it buddy, I now headcanon Ripple Star faes naturally eat bugs
Even the Fairy Queen who's outfit doesn't fit?
@@beauwalker9820 I would assume they don't usually eat LIVE bugs. Rock Star is a desert, she was probably desperate...
At first I was like "no way this was a scrapped concept, but still looks good."
Then you showed the actual storyboard
I'm scared of fairies now
Unless you're a bug, I think you'll be safe
Humans may be delicious but I swear I've only bitten you guys out of self defense.
@@terra_gamesHOW TF DO YOU THINK I FEEL!?
@@firebeetlethestagbeetle3901good luck
@@supercamborg4218 THE HELL DO YOU MEAN "good luck"!?!?!?!?!
As a fairy and a bug I'm both now hungry and terrified.
autocannibalism
My hungry ass couldn't be an entomologist 💀💀
I don't think we ever actually see Ribbon eating in game so this is rather interesting.
Since you are a fairy as well, what is your opinion on eating bugs? Are they the reason you like spring so much?
Now that you mention it, she didn't eat with the others in the cutscene after defeating Pix. She kinda just sat there watching.

@@TheSilly6403I think it's fine if there's nothing else available.
It's my job to announce spring. Lily White: The Fairy Herald of Spring.
@@LillyWhiteFairy I guess I would prefer bugs to the snack you eat more often, that being Reimu's danmaku.
@TheSilly6403 yesss..
Kind of scary to think this cute little fairy is such a vicious carnivore
I love how squishy you made Ribbon look, she’s adorable! Also, eating a random beetle is peak toddler behavior
that second bite is so funny. CR-R-R-RUNCH. I wonder if Adeleine cared or even saw what she was doing.
never beating the bug eating allegations
For some reason this is cute to me. A small fairy girl who eats bugs. I love that
No time to rest, Ribbon!
Bro did she just eat a bug RAW?! Not gonna sun dry it and season it with bacon and cheese flavoring?!🪲
This scene was very important to the game
She should've let her finish the bug.
That poor bug didn't deserve that
Ribbons new model is really nice!
The colors are pleasant too :)
0:27
Ribbon: NOOO, MY LUNCH
I now wonder if we would have insect enemies in the game
Adeleine: Ratio 😎
There are the mauriels
“”Ribbon : NOOOO, MY LUNCH ! 😭””
The poor girl didn’t even finish 😂
I love this, very faithful to the original style and flair of the game. Frankly wished they let her be weirder like this, it’s a fun bit of characterization.
After watching lion king, the last thing childhood me needed was another reason to want to eat bugs.
Jungle Book (indirectly) told me it's safe to eat ants as a kid 💀
Is she gonna eat the bug??
Is she gonna eat the bug??
She is eating the bug!!!
Oh wait this is a Kirby game.
Kirby: *stares with legitimate disturbance of actual cannibalism*

Me: Oh hey! It's nice to see a character not be afraid of bugs, especially a girl.... wait. She's not going to eat it, is-
I love how well this captures the sort of slippery bouncy feeling the game's cutscenes have in their movements!
This is actually legit because of the beta concept art
*Ribbon:* Mmm crunchy yet satisfying
This just in: A Local Touhou fairy godmother eats an unarmed father of 78 unprovoked, leaving the mother brokenhearted and a *widow* . More on this at 9.
Ha
NOOOO! STOP KILLING MY BUG!!!
that was just wrong, man.
You did a great job Slug dude!
Well...its definitely not the weirdest thing this series has done, lol
I guess Ripple Star really has a different taste in food than pop star, or ribbon is a FREAK
Great job man watching this reminded me of a concept that i had in my mind for long time
Yeah, it makes sense why it was scrapped.
...I'm not sure whether to be grossed out by this or intrigued by the thought that the other fairies might eat bugs too.
Not even Kirby eats bugs (or at least worms)...
at least we know what type of food the kirby fairies eat......
Adorable animation! Hope this becomes canon.
Mr. Frog: Hello. I'm Mr.Frog. Wanna be friends?
Ribbon: Hello. I'm Ms. Ribbon. Yes
And then they spend the rest of the day eating bugs
she a banjo kazooie fan
Ribbons basically doing canabalisim on herself, because half fairy and half bug
She originally was supposed to eat bugs?! Guess that’s why Bugzzy, Como and Beetley are the only ones left of their endangered species!
You're severely underrated
...you gotta wonder why did they even come up with this concept as an idea for a cutscene, really.
In a game with 02... Really?
Now I'm picturing the bad end where the queen smirks at the camera and Ribbon eats ze bug

i was literally like "please eat it... YESSS!!!!"
Kinda makes sense that fairies would eat bugs now that I think about it lol
what where they thinking...
Thaf poor bug
Translate did you dirty and stated that you were the bug
Buggzy : MURDERER!
HornHead: Im good to be sick!🤢
Beatley :WHY!? WHY!? OMG!!!
Freaking Ozzy Osbourne over here, eating it head first.
She then lost Ribbon Rhoades later
Kanna Kamui can get away with eating bugs, so I don't see what the problem is.
Also, I genuinely thought the title was a lie until the end.
Dragon kids I can see eating bugs but fae kids? Bit far out.
more recreated scrapped cutscenes please
Absolutely cute and cursed.
When you search "kirby 64 cutscenes" on TH-cam:
Morpho Knight: ALÉJATE.
Call me weird but she looks cute brutally decapitating a bug and eating it
The video its really cute
Bugzzy vs. Ribbon
Will it be a spectacle match-up in the colosseum or a horror event?
0:24 questions is,why did she eat it?
rip small insect it was too tasty for this world 😞
YOU VILL PLAY ZE KIRBY
Ew, it wasn't even cooked or prepared for a dish, she just ate a living bug off the ground.
Like she was on an episode of Survivor or Bear Grylls.

How poisonous is this bug
Why Adeleine?!?! WHYYYYY?!?!?! 😭💀
Well.... I guess she ate it for the protein?
Her and Kirby really were meant to be huh...
Wow, that's a beautiful animation, and I didn't know that concept art, what's up with ribbon xd
Haha cool
nyoom
I can see why they scrapped it...but why would they come up with it in the first place?
😦
XD
No me la conteiner
GOD I wanna be the bug so bad…
That really bugs me....
Who wouldn't-
Is this a bait and switch?
No??????
