Changes: White Kirby

Latest revision as of 18:46, 18 October 2021

White Kirby (called Gray Kirby in Kirby Battle Royale) is a member of the Kirby species that appears in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby Air Ride.

Physical Appearance

In Kirby Air Ride, White Kirby had a white body and gray feet, along with pink blushes. In Super Smash Bros. Melee, his feet are black, as are his eyes and mouth; his eyes are gray instead of blue. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, he appears grayscale, with less contrast between his feet and body. In Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby Fighters Deluxe, he looks like his Kirby Air Ride version, but his body is a off-white and his blushes are more prominent. In Kirby Battle Royale, referred to as Gray Kirby, he appears more like his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Melee, but has blue eyes.

Games

Kirby Air Ride

White Kirby is an unlockable character in the game, being the eighth color option in the game. In Air Ride, the player needs to finish 2 laps in under 02:20:00 on Celestial Valley. In Top Ride, the player needs to finish 1st 5 seconds faster than #2 on Metal. In City Trial, the player needs to complete both Dragoon and Hydra in one match.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror

While White Kirby does not explicitly appear, the Chalk Spray Paint allows Kirby to appear grayscale, similarly to White Kirby in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U Additionally, a Snow Spray Paint allows Kirby to have a white body, but with light red feet and blushes.

Kirby: Squeak Squad

Like Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, White Kirby does not explicitly appear, but the player can use Spray Paints to color Kirby. In addition to the Chalk and Snow Spray Paints, the former of which now makes Kirby's hat, weapons, etc. grayscale (except when using Metal or Ghost), there is also the added White and Ivory Spray Paints. The White Spray Paint makes Kirby's body and feet white, with no discernible blushes, making him resemble his appearance in Kirby's Dream Land. Ivory gives Kirby an ivory-colored body and brown feet and blushes.

Kirby Super Star Ultra

When obtaining the Mirror ability, Kirby's body becomes pale, making him resemble the Snow Spray Paint.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby Fighters Deluxe

White Kirby appears in the Kirby Fighters sub-game, as well as the expanded eShop game. He is the sixth color option in the game.

Kirby Battle Royale

Gray Kirby appears as the fifth color option in the game. When using Meta Knight, he appears similar to Dark Meta Knight (which can be used in tangent with the Dark Meta Knight Mask).

In the Super Smash Bros. series

White Kirby appears as his sixth color palette from Super Smash Bros. Melee onward. He is featured in the second Kirby Smash trophy, obtained by beating Super Smash Bros. Melee’s All-Star Mode as Kirby, as well as the Kirby (Alt.) trophy, obtained by beating Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS’s All-Star mode as Kirby.

Trivia

The US version of Kirby's Dream Land depicted Kirby as white by basing it on his sprite's color on the Game Boy screen, due to confusion during the localization process. This is more noticeable on his health bar.

+==Physical Appearance==
-'''White Kirby''' is a member of [[Kirby (species)|Kirby's species]] that is playable in some of the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' games]]. In ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'' it was available via [[Spray Paint]], where it was called "Snow" and was unlockable in the collection room. Kirby has a white body and red feet when used. Snow also appeared in the ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'' collection room, along with a new Spray Paint color, white, which turns Kirby completely white. The [[Ghost]] ability also turns him a shade of white (although it appears to be a very light blue in water, unlike the white Spray Paint color). He is also similar to the gray Kirby in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, although he's not white, but almost the same in appearance. Kirby's white palette in Kirby Air Ride bears some similarity to White Kirby, although it resembles more like the gray Kirby in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.
+In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', White Kirby had a white body and gray feet, along with pink blushes. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', his feet are black, as are his eyes and mouth; his eyes are gray instead of blue. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Wii U'']], he appears grayscale, with less contrast between his feet and body. In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', he looks like his ''Kirby Air Ride'' version, but his body is a off-white and his blushes are more prominent. In ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', referred to as Gray Kirby, he appears more like his appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', but has blue eyes.
+==Games==
-More challenging is obtaining it in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]''. It must be obtained separately in each mode: In [[City Trial]], by obtaining both [[Dragoon]] and [[Hydra]] in the same match, in [[Air Ride]], by completing 2 Laps in [[Celestial Valley]] in under 2 minutes and 20 seconds, and in [[Top Ride]] by beating racer #2 by 5 seconds in [[Metal (Top Ride course)|Metal]].

In [[City Trial]], the player needs to complete both [[Dragoon]] and [[Hydra]] in one match.

-In ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', he appears as white when he transforms into [[Plasma]] Kirby, but he later is exchanged from white to green in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' when transforming into Plasma Kirby. Though Plasma doesn't turn him white anymore, Mirror turns Kirby white in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.
+While White Kirby does not explicitly appear, the Chalk [[Spray Paint]] allows Kirby to appear grayscale, similarly to White Kirby in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and [[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U|''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS'' and ''Wii U'']] Additionally, a Snow Spray Paint allows Kirby to have a white body, but with light red feet and blushes.

-White Kirby also appears in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, as an alternate color for Kirby. It has the same appearance as ''Kirby Air Ride'', with gray feet and blushes, and a white body. However, it first appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a few years before ''Kirby Air Ride'', so it could be said that it was based off ''Super Smash Bros. Melee''. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', the palette swap has gray feet instead of black ones. It never appeared in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', since that game only allowed four colors for most characters.
+Like ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'', White Kirby does not explicitly appear, but the player can use Spray Paints to color Kirby. In addition to the Chalk and Snow Spray Paints, the former of which now makes Kirby's hat, weapons, etc. grayscale (except when using [[Metal]] or [[Ghost]]), there is also the added White and Ivory Spray Paints. The White Spray Paint makes Kirby's body and feet white, with no discernible blushes, making him resemble his appearance in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. Ivory gives Kirby an ivory-colored body and brown feet and blushes.

-White Kirby appears as a color palette for Kirby in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Kirby Fighters]] [[sub-game]] as well as ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', with a very slight greenish tint, referencing the Game Boy's green colored screen.

+==In the [[Super Smash Bros. series|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]]==
+White Kirby appears as his sixth color palette from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' onward. He is featured in the second Kirby Smash [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], obtained by beating ''Super Smash Bros.
