We have timelines for Zelda&Metroid (& Mario, deep lore)- Where's the Kirby timeline?
- Thread starter nynt9
- Start date
You are spoiler tagging a kirby game. I just want to let you know that you are spoiler tagging a kirby game.
Wtf???
I had no idea there was a 20th anniversary collection. They never even released it in Europe either.
Ffs Nintendo. I would have taken this over Epic Yarn anyday.
There's a couple of tangles here and there. Super Star needs to be unshuffled, since there's a lot of events that could be taking place at any given point in time, Dream Collection brings Magolor back to life and acts like he's buddy buddy with everyone now (canon? who knows!). Various other side games could be canon and take place in release date chronology, or be set some random time later.
But each Kirby story is self-contained and the connections between games are rarely any more than small cameos so it doesn't matter in the slightest anyway.

A good chunk of the games start with Kirby accidentally upsetting a wizard. I don't think any of it matters.

Kirby lore has taken a dark yet convincing turn.
It overshadows everything else and remains one of the few reasons to return to Squeak Squad.Whyyyy has the Animal copy ability never come back?
Those dastards.
This one?
Wow, I'm so glad this exists. lol. Really makes some of the Timeline BS in Zelda's new 'official' canon seem a bit ridiculous. I still half of that stuff was reactionary inventions to appease fans. Nintendo games strike me as obviously being untied to any canon or timelines, with rare exceptions.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
mario has the deepest lore http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRozarc1kSo
Spoken like someone who hasn't played through much of the Kirbology. :-|
There are actually some surprising twists in Kirby games, so I think spoiler tags are necessary at times.
I still don't have a concrete idea how Epic Yarn, Canvas Curse and Air Ride fit in the timeline. Air Ride can probably fit somehow but maybe Yarn and Canvas are separate timelines? Obvioulsy the upcoming Rainbow Curse is in the Canvas timeline. So maybe the splits are the main timeline, the Yarn timeline and the Cursed timeline?
Hey, I agree with you. I was really elated that my theory in RtDL bore out!
This one?
Wow. Can't believe that's actually a thing.
There is no timeline that's why you can easily play Kirby games in any order.
I am still pissed off that we European didn't get that as Nintendo of Europe chose to publish a crappy shovel ware games.
It was released in NA and JP. It's pretty awesome!
Region locking sucks.

This one?
Wow. Where is this even from?
For Zelda, the only very bizarre thing is that timesplit with Link losing in OoT. While it somewhat makes sense going with the segmentation of the games before OoT and LBW, OoT doesn't remotely hints this and it's extremely vague on how all of that happened.
You can play Zelda/Metroid games in any order as well but that doesn't mean there isn't a timeline!
I've played a lot of Kirby and never wondered how they connected, but this...
...is the best possible explanation.

Do we have any backstory for Kirby? What is he? Why is he?
Just looked at the Kirby wiki, and apparently Kirby is a member of a species, with the other known members being Shadow Kirby (Amazing Mirror), Keeby (Dream Course), and the other colors of Kirby. Meta Knight might also be of the same species. Also his personality is slightly different in the anime.

There's also a manga but apparently that's not canon.
