Talk:Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

This is set in a universe different from the games. How can Nightmare die twice??!!!-- KirbyFan (talk|contributions|logs)

Everyone says this. I have come up with a way in which the anime fits in with the games. The anime takes place far before the games. Dedede's hatred of Kirby decreases ever since he stopped nightmare. Nightmare didn't die in the anime, but was banished. That's why Dedede tried to stop him in Kirby's Adventure. I still havn't come up with an explanation for what happened to Tiff and her family but I'll try to. 98.117.158.220 18:38, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

The anime

Even though it was dubbed by 4kids I have to adimt it was pretty good. ( even though I didn't watch all the episodes) --To make it simple call me Icy! Rock music is amesome! 00:22, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

Air dates

I've been scouring through the Japanese wiki through Google translate. There's a list of most of the original Japan air dates for the episodes here http://ja.kirby.wikia.com/wiki/星のカービィ_(アニメ)_のサブタイトル一覧

This is besides the point, but they've got over 1.1k pages like us but only 50-odd images. Perhaps they operate under a different policy?

Kirby Right Back At Ya!'s canonicity

The show is almost nothing like the game (obviously). But then again, the show was based off the game, not vice versa. The show was a good show, though. I have tried to develop a logic that would help connect the events to the show with the events in the game but it doesn't exactly work.

So, I just consider the show an entirely different story. Besides, none of the anime-exclusive things are in any of the games, right? Also, Sakurai only supervised how Kirby would behave in the show, the rest was handled by those who wrote it. It's still a good show (strange at times), but it just isn't canon.

---EDIT----

Changtau2005 brings up a good point. It's the vast dissimilarities between the show and game that kinda annoy me. Especially the character portrayals( ie: King Dedede). Though, perhaps the events in the show could have taken place before the game. I will now try to explain a relationship between the show and game.

A little while after the destruction of Holy Nightmare Co., smaller, less harmful versions of some monsters were distributed across the galaxy(like Fire lion, Buggzy, scarfies, poppy bros, etc...). Nightmare's power diminished greatly and he was only able to destroy dreams. Holy Nightmare Co., crashed. King Dedede, no longer under the influence of Nightmare, became WAY less of a jerk, and began to respect Kirby. Meta Knight moved on and started a smaller fleet of his own (the crew from Revenge of Meta Knight). Escargoon eventually left to persue other passions. Cappies, somehow, "de-evolved" into the enemies we know in the game. Cappies then migrated away from Cappy Town, which was eventually turned into the city in Kirby Air Ride. Chef Kawaski became nomadic. It wasn't long until Fumu's family left to another kingdom. Many waddle dees were let off now that the town was gone. King Dedede also had other castles constructed around Dreamland for some reason. Lololo and Lalala, now independent, sought to occupy a stronghold (Castle Lololo) of their own. Tokori couldn't stand being stuck with Kirby, so he left. Lonely, Kirby packed up and moved near Green Greens.

That's all I got, I hope it can help some of you who may find the anime-game relationship confusing.--unsigned comment by Ghost Kirby (talk•blog•contributions•logs) Always sign your posts with four tildes ~~~~ !

Refer to wikipedia:Canonicity so the definition of the word is clear. What you're referring to is that the show does not follow the same "continuity" as the games do. If you use Google translate or understand enough Japanese (I don't) to trawl through the official pages, Sakurai-san's involvement and direction is a lot deeper than what you're implying here. Besides, the story is cohesive even if it borrows elements and characters from the games. While it is produced by Warpstar Inc. under license by Nintendo like the non-canon manga series running, you probably know that Warpstar Inc. is a company directly formed under Nintendo and HAL Labs to develop the anime so the material is as official as it gets, unlike the printed material in the many manga series.

Given the sheer number of anime references in later games (especially Squeak Squad and Mass Attack), I can't help but wonder if Nintendo / HAL is trying to merge the continuities together. Sure, the anime was designed without the game storylines in mind, but that could have changed since then. I feel like they might take place sometime before the games.

Why so many stubs?

uh, i would kind of like to know WHY SO MANY FREAKING EPISODES ARE STUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a lot of times i will try to find information on episodes of kirby right back at ya (Which i probably wont do anymore because i dont want to ruin the episodes for myself) and half the time the page will say <name of episode> is an episode of Kirby: Right Back at ya. then it says that Warning: spoilers ahead thingy, and then 'End of Spoilers". i dont really want to read the episode things myself, but what about people who do want to read these things? several of these pages might as well not exist! -puff

If you're complaining so much, why not put down your own time and write them down then? It's not like site staff / eds are sitting idly by and doing nothing.

Some pages for Right Back At Ya! episodes have exclamation marks after the derscription for the picture. I mean, it is funny when it says Fire Dedede, but this is a wiki.

What Forums?

To a "Starman125" where can I find the forums (the ones you mentioned earlier) in this wiki? 74.78.78.156 23:41, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
