Kirby (カービィ, Kābī in Japan) is the titular main protagonist of the video game franchise of the same name made by HAL Laboratory and Nintendo. He also serves as the overarching protagonist of Magolor Epilogue.
He is the protector of Planet Popstar who has frequently defended his home from numerous galaxy-threatening enemies, occasionally redeeming them and letting them help him on his adventures. He is best friends with Bandana Waddle Dee, and a friend and on-and-off rival of Meta Knight, as well as King Dedede.
He helps out people without a second thought and expects nothing in return.
He never holds a grudge against his foes nor does he react on being insulted by them; while he was cross when Susie referred to him and denizens of Popstar as obstacles, this provocation was likely because it meant the Haltmann Works Company would exterminate them all.
He treats all creatures with respect.
He holds no grudge against Dedede for attacking him and even seems to like him.
In Kirby Star Allies, he gains the ability to befriend franchise-long enemies with friend hearts. Based on the frequency that he uses this ability, and it being required to get through certain obstacles such as Jambastion's gate, and Void Termina, it's especially evident he would rather befriend, rather than fight them, given the option.
He protected Dream Land and, by extension, Planet Popstar as well as other planets many times from both smaller, local threats, and bigger, extraterrestrial ones, without expecting anything in return:
Reclaiming the food King Dedede stole as well as the Sparkling Stars and returning them to the citizens of Dream Land.
Returning the Star Rod to the Fountain of Dreams and defeating Lord Nightmare in the process.
Even if he did suspect King Dedede took the Star Rod on purpose and assumed he did it for a selfish reason, even refusing to listen to his pleas to not put it back, this is understandable since Dedede once stole all the food from Dream Land. Plus, Kirby is a child by his species' standards and would be expected to assume something like that, but he quickly made up for it by defeating Lord Nightmare and returning the Star Rod afterwards.

Saving Popstar from Queen Sectonia trying to take its energy to sustain her as the Dreamstalk.
Saving Dream Land from Dark Crafter.
Saving Popstar from the Haltmann Works Company and later Star Dream as mentioned below.
Saved several inhabitants of Dream Land from being infected with the Jamba Hearts and later the universe from Void Termina as mentioned below.
Saving Popstar from colliding with the Forgotten Land by defeating Fecto Elfilis as mentioned below.
He has saved the entire universe (possibly the multiverse) at least 3 times. The first time was in Kirby's Return to Dreamland by defeating the Master Crown when it possessed Magolor, the second was in Kirby: Planet Robobot by defeating Star Dream, an ancient wish-making machine that became self-aware and sought to eradicate all organic life forms, and the third was in Kirby Star Allies by defeating Void Termina, a god-like entity that was resurrected by Hyness to destroy all worlds.
While at first it may seem that he kills his enemies after inhaling them to get a copy ability, due to the fact his stomach is shown to be an endless pocket dimension and that certain characters who have been inhaled reappear later on either in the same stage or at a later section in the game, it is obvious that getting eaten by him doesn't result in fatal consequences for the one being swallowed whole, at least not permanently.
While he does come off as rather rude in Kirby's Avalanche, due to the fact that it is a spin-off game, this is most likely non-canon. In every other game, Kirby is a kind and gentle soul who simply wants to help people in need and stop those who threaten his home. If it is canon, this may most likely be a heating-up moment.
He has been tricked by both Marx and Magolor into helping them out of the goodness of his heart, after which they betrayed him revealing their plans to take over Popstar. He also assumed that King Dedede had stolen his strawberry shortcake in Kirby Squeak Squad, when in reality it was Daroach. However, Kirby immediately tries to stop Marx and Magolor after realizing the threat they pose (eventually redeeming both of them and letting them help him in Kirby Star Allies), and it is understandable that Kirby would believe that King Dedede would steal his food due to the fact that King Dedede had once stolen all of Dream Land's food for him and his Waddle Dees and that Kirby is still just a kid, so it is understandable that someone of his age would make an assumption like that.
While he angrily chased Prince Fluff, this was only because Fluff was shaking a tree with Kirby inside it while all he was doing was looking for food.
He helped Prince Fluff restore Patch Land and defeat Yin-Yarn.
While he has killed two characters with genuinely sympathetic backgrounds, those being Queen Sectonia and President Haltmann (with him even getting erased from existence), it was necessary since they were threatening the safety of Popstar and in states where they couldn't be reasoned with.
Furthermore, President Haltmann was already in a state that can only be considered dead even in the afterlife by the time Kirby gets to the final parts of the fight against both versions of Star Dream, making it a mercy kill.
Shortly after arriving in the Forgotten Land, he rescues Elfilin from being captured by the Beast Pack.
He is quick to set off and similarly rescue the Waddle Dees from the Beast Pack and ends up saving hundreds of them from being used as slave labor, which in turn allows them to rebuild Waddle Dee Town.
He saves Elfilin after he gets assimilated by his evil half, Fecto Forgo, to become Fecto Elfilis again, and when Fecto subsequently tries to use a portal to crash Planet Popstar and the Forgotten Land into each other, he defeats them by ramming a semi-trailer truck into them, saving the entire population of both worlds.
He helps save Leongar from a fate worse than death by travelling to Forgo Dreams, an alternate dimension where Soul Forgo took his body and shattered his soul into hundreds of pieces to use his body as a vessel, by collecting the pieces of his soul, returning them to him and defeating Soul Forgo when they take over his body to fight him.
He shows good sportsmanship whether he wins or loses his match with Mario, shaking his hand afterwards.
He, Mario, Peach, and Zelda fight off the Subspace Army when they invade the Midair Stadium.
When Petey Piranha captures the princesses in cages, he saves one of them and tries to save the other when Wario abducts them.
He takes Peach/Zelda to safety when realizing the Subspace Bomb is about to go off.
When Dedede abducts the defeated duo (Mario and Pit or Link and Yoshi), Kirby prevents the king from taking them and restores them.
Along with Mario, Pit, Link, and Yoshi, he helps Marth, Ike, Lucas, Pokemon Trainer, and Ice Climbers against the Subspace Army troops.
He destroys Bowser and Ganondorf's Subspace Gunship with the Dragoon.
He finds and revives half of the fighters (the others revived by King Dedede's trio) after he is revived by Dedede's time badge.
He considered restoring Ganondorf until Bowser attacked his trophy and Dedede interrupted him.
He plays a key role in defeating Galeem (and Dharkon) after surviving his onslaught and rescues the other fighters.
Trivia[]
He, Mario, Link, Fox McCloud, Pikachu, Luigi and Ness make up the 7 of the 12 fighters from the original Super Smash Bros. who are considered Pure Good and is one of the 4 fighters of the Perfect Attendance Crew (along with Mario, Link and Fox) who qualify for this wiki, while Samus Aran is Near Pure Good, Donkey Kong is Inconsistently Admirable, and Yoshi is Heroic Benchmark.
