Kid Kirby

Kid Kirby is a canceled title for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was developed by DMA Design Ltd., a Scottish company which eventually evolved into Rockstar North.

Very little is known about Kid Kirby. The first hint of the title to be in development was a picture of Kirby with the title "Kid Kirby" at the bottom-right corner of page 47 of a Mexican Club Nintendo Magazine issued in 1995. All other graphic material from this game is from the Flickr account of an ex-DMA developer, who posted the material after the game was canceled.

The story follows a younger Kirby who sports a curl of hair and sleeps in a crib. Familiar sights like King Dedede and the Fountain of Dreams can also be seen, but the rest of the material is foreign and generic.

The game was to showcase the SNES mouse by using it for its controls. The mouse itself never sold well and the game did not play well with it, so the title never saw release.
