Allies and Playable Characters
KSA Bandana Waddle Dee

Allies are anyone who helps Kirby on his adventures. Some allies have redeemed themselves and become friends with Kirby after their evil deeds, while others have been friends with him to begin with. Some allies are also playable in various games.

Kirbys
Kirby-assortment

Sometimes more than one Kirby is seen simultaneously. Kirby was split into four separate beings by Dark Meta Knight in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, and two in The Fofa Factor, by Slice n' Splice. In Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby was split into ten smaller versions of himself. In Kirby Battle Royale, King Dedede’s Kirby Printer creates a multitude of clones of Kirby. Sometimes, multiple Kirbys appear without an explanation, leading to a conclusion that Kirbys are a species. In the Super Smash Bros. series, different players can play as Kirby simultaneously and perform a palette swap (color change) so the characters look different from one another.

Keeby is identical to Kirby apart from color, and has appeared as a playable character in Kirby's Dream Course and Kirby's Dream Buffet. It is not known whether Keeby is Yellow Kirby.

Helpers
Knucklejoe&kirby

First featured in Kirby Super Star, Kirby can forfeit further use of his current Copy Ability by summoning a Helper, which usually has similar abilities. In Kirby Star Allies, Helpers are now known as “Friends” and can be created by throwing a Friend Heart at an enemy. Special Friends, known as Dream Friends, can also be summoned using the Dream Rod to tag along.

See Helper article for list of Helpers

Silica
Silica2ih9
A character appearing in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, first seen in the episode Crusade for the Blade. Silica is the daughter of Garlude, the Star Warrior killed by Kirisakin while trying to obtain Galaxia the sword with Meta Knight. She wields a multi-purpose transforming weapon. Impulsive and hot-headed, she was intially led to believe that Meta Knight left her family to die to take the sword for himself, and attacks Meta Knight for it, but eventually learns the truth from the sword and teams up with him to destroy Kirisakin. She helped the Halberd's final assault upon Nightmare's Fortress in the final episodes.

Villains and Enemies

SKC Nightmare

Villains are plot-centric characters who are the masterminds behind the events of the story of the games they appear in and fight against Kirby and company. Most villains don’t have any reasoning for their actions other than being evil, while others are given sometimes tragic backstories as to why they act this way.

Monsters are evil creatures seen in Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, created by Nightmare to take over the known universe.

Nightmare's operations are funded by his sales team including N.M.E. Sales Guy, his No.2 and right-hand man, who makes Nightmare Enterprises a hefty profit from selling Monsters to clients for their own needs.

Enemies

Most of the time, enemies in the Kirby series refer to regular enemies. These are any common characters hostile towards Kirby and have less-than-significant role in the plot.

Lovely
Lovelykssu
Lovely is an enemy in the series with an uncharacteristically friendly appearance. She is one of the more difficult enemies to take down, sometimes being mounted to the ceiling, and attacks whenever Kirby gets close and gives no Copy Ability. Lovely is featured in the episode The Flower Plot of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!.

Special Characters

The Kirby series is not known for its deep characters, but there are special ones just the same. These are characters who have strong and complicated connections with Kirby, or are neutral and defy classification into pure good or evil.

16-dedede

The slightly greedy, lazy, self-proclaimed king of Dream Land. He is Kirby’s arch-rival, leading some to believe that he is the main antagonist of the series. While he does have his fair share of evil deeds, King Dedede has gradually evolved as a character and has left behind his past with Kirby as his arch-nemesis, now having a (mostly) friendly rivalry with him. Most of the fights he had with Kirby were either misunderstandings or times when he was taken control of, however, some fights and actions were on his own accord, such as when he stole all of the food in Dream Land, or tried to humiliate Kirby in a tournament. Nevertheless, King Dedede has proved his worth when it came to facing off against evil beings alongside Kirby.

1-metaknight

A solitary, stoic, and honorable character, Meta Knight is the mysterious rival of Kirby that everyone has come to know. With his masterful swordsmanship and unpredictable techniques, Meta Knight is a force to be reckoned with. While he may have had a somewhat rocky start with Kirby in the past, the two of them have gotten on much better terms and enjoy a friendly rivalry now and then, with Meta Knight making a worthy ally when things go awry. Under his mask, he bears a familiar face to the namesake hero himself, but one could wonder what their true connection really is.

Nova

Galactic Nova is a giant clockwork comet in Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra. It is summoned by the power of the Fountains of Dreams in the various planets near Planet Popstar, and has the ability to grant a wish. Galactic Nova will do whatever it takes to make that wish come true, whether it be a wish of good or evil will. Who it grants the wish to is not fixed, however, and Marx took advantage of that to wish for control over Planet Popstar.
