Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Pinball Land
Kirby appears green (Game Boy), white (Game Boy Pocket/Light), or pink (Super Game Boy), along with the rest of the game due to monochromatic graphics. When played on a Game Boy Color, Kirby (and other foreground sprites) appears red.
Kirby's Adventure
When Kirby does not have a Copy Ability, he appears pink. When Kirby has a Copy Ability, he will usually appear a peach color. When Kirby has the Freeze or Ice Copy Ability, he appears white with blue feet.

Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Block Ball
As with Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's color is based on a monochromatic palette. As with before, he appears green on Game Boy and white on Game Boy Pocket/Light.

- Yellow: Grass Land

In Kirby Mass Attack, there is an unused element called Color Change, which would presumably change the color of the Kirbys; this may have gone unused due to Kirby's color change upon being damaged.[1][2] The possible colors were:
- Sapphire

- Chalk
- Light Pink
- Pink
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Emerald
- Green
- Grape

Trivia
- One of the selectable colors in Kirby Mass Attack’s unused Color Change made him look like Batamon from Kirby's Dream Land 3.
- In Kirby: Squeak Squad, when Kirby has the Chalk Spray Paint on (which looks like his black-and-white coloration from early Game Boy games), the Copy Ability hats, objects he holds, and his attacks become the chalk color as well.
- When Kirby has the Shadow coloration on, he resembles Shadow Kirby. When he has Sapphire on, he resembles Meta Knight. The color of the damaged, blue Kirbys in Kirby Mass Attack also resembles the Ocean coloration.
