Cannon DAuJLJbVYAER17h This article contains information that does not coincide with the main series canon. (Similar)

The Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ, Hoshi no Kābī) Pilot is an un-aired "prototype" of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. It is not narrated and has no voice acting. It was created in 2000 and licensed under HAL Laboratory and Nintendo.

History

To celebrate the release of Kirby Air Ride in Japan, a special Kirby DVD was released with a popular video gaming magazine. It had clips from episodes and different games, and also a short 'pilot anime' that seems to be an early form of the show. No information was given about it, and it was not narrated with any voice acting. It was done in a mix of 3D computer graphics and 2D animation, much like the series that came after it.

Characters

Character Differences

The pilot of Kirby of the Stars has several key differences between itself and the anime. Some examples are just the appearances of the characters themselves, while others are more subtle.

Kirby's appearance is similar to his simple appearance in games like Kirby's Adventure and Kirby's Dream Land 2. However, there is not that much of a difference. He appears to be able to float, unlike in the anime (Kirby rarely uses his floating ability). He also still has a childish psyche. Another obvious difference is that in the pilot, Kirby actually inhales the monsters to transform like in the games, while in the anime he usually just inhales objects (e.g A torch for Fire Kirby). Also, when Kirby copies an enemy's ability, he does not gain a hat and doesn't appear to have to swallow, either. Furthermore, when Kirby wakes up with a scream, it was the freaked pose, because one eye gets smaller, then the other eye does, and the eye that got small changes back to normal. This is used in some games like Kirby's Adventure.

King Dedede's design is much closer to his appearance in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Rather than his usual white bobble, which is seen in the regular anime and most Kirby games, he has a yellow crown on top of his hat. He does not wear his gloves, either. Most of his scheming is reminiscent of the Looney Tunes antagonist Wile E. Coyote, pulling simple pranks (and backfiring) rather than summoning a monster to do away with Kirby.

The female character in the pilot has no name, but she appears to be an early concept design for Tiff. She appears to be able to fly, and her crown suggests that she may be a princess or perhaps even the daughter of King Dedede, which would explain why he hated seeing them together.

Meta Knight seems to be a just another foe to Kirby, unlike in the anime and games where he is seen to be a mentor with good intentions. The sword he uses is not the Galaxia of the anime, as it has no spikes on the side. This is because Galaxia did not have a set design yet - it instead looks much like Master, a sword that appeared in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, a game released three years after this pilot was completed. This appearance also marks the only time Meta Knight ever used his wings in any incarnation of the anime.

Trivia

  • For unknown reasons, Kirby can float without inhaling air first.
  • Before Captain Stitch hits Meta Knight, it can be observed that Meta Knight's visor flips upside down. This was most likely done to make him look surprised, rather than an animation error.
