A brand new Kirby game has appeared out of nowhere on Nintendo Switch eShop! It's great to see the ravenous little guy back on Switch and we thought it was high time to test your knowledge of the pink puffball with one of our little quizzes while we're playing the game for review.
Kirby has appeared in over thirty games since beginning his illustrious career on Game Boy way back in 1992, and he's shown an aptitude for platforming, pinballing, and pummelling the heck out of video gaming's finest in the Super Smash Bros. series, too. But how well do you know this cute character and his games?
Let's find out with ten little questions...

It turns out there's a lot I don't know about Kirby.
This was truly rigged towards Europeans
9/10
i know too much about this horror glutton
3/10... I guess I don't know Kirby that well. But the Smash Bros question wasn't too hard lol
8/10. I am not European.
5/10. I expected to do worse then that. I never played Canvas Curse or Epic Yarn. I also didn't know he had an official height.
10/10. Way too many regional based questions though.
Also what do you mean "he didn’t – original Kirby perished and an Anti-Kirby replaced him" isn't the answer???
How is Kirby only 8 inches? Does he constantly keep himself full of air?
7/10. The name origin I already knew about but it also happened to be in the recent netflix videogame documantairy.
Normally I do pretty badly in these quizzes but this was an easy 10/10. Kirby is my favorite video game franchise ever!
6/10. I miss-clicked on the height one. So I'm giving myself a 7/10. Also not European so those two were guesses, so 7/8 for me. XD
I missed the number of games on the gameboy. I knew about both dreamlands and pinball. I knew there was another but couldn't remember the name of it. So I was aware of four of five. Not bad I guess.
6 out of 10 Not bad considering I've never finished a Kirby game.
7/10 Though 1 I got right was a lucky guess
EDIT: My youngest is bit of a Kirby uber fan and got 9/10 amazingly. Got the answers through reading obscure ans unobscure stuff about Kirby and whatnot.
Easy 10/10. Even though I’ve only finished 2 Kirby games. Star Allies, and Super Star. Number 4 was just a pure guess. The others were pure Kirby knowledge.
What's all this "I'm not European" rubbish? By that logic you have to be Japanese to know what Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic is.
Tsk. Call yourselves Kirby fans!?
/joke
8/10. Got mixed up on the height & "ghost trap" answers.
8/10. Misclicked on the Smash Ultimate one, didn’t remember enough of the games on the Game Boy titles one.
I actually almost misclicked on Takashi Tezuka.
6/10 I didn't know a lot of them because some were localization based questions. Got the number of Game Boy games wrong too.
10/10. Kirby is love.
What’s with all the moaning about being Euro-centric? 1 question about an EU name, 1 other question with US box art, and 1 question with both EU and US names for the same game. Seems balanced to me...
Got five. I'm still impressed, since I could care less about Kirby as a franchise and don't actively follow anything about it.
Tricky. Thought Sakurai's explanation for Kirby's survival in World of Light was that he's fairly well-rounded and easy to use for beginners.
3 out 10... Yeah, I know I don't know Kirby
Messed up on the metaknight one. More study needed
7/10
How
I've literally only played like maybe 2 or 3 Kirby games
Well, I tried at least... eek.
How was I supposed to know what Canvas Curse was called in Europe????? -_-
Anyway, 8 out of 10 here.
7 out of 10. The last one was unfair...I'm not in Europe. LOL. So I'm giving myself a bonus point. 8 out of 10. Haha.
9 out of 10, just got the ghost trap one wrong
6/10
I guess I passed.
"As revealed in a 1993 developer interview, the character was known as ‘Twinkle Popo’ until the game was finished and it was decided a name change was in order to better appeal to American kids."
Or rather, Popopo, as "Twinkle Popo" was the name for the setting
And "Popopo" fit with some of the other naming schemes anyways (Dedede, Lololo, Lalala)
2/10 — and I've played 3 kirby games + all the smash.
5/10 , hmm average
I scored a whopping five. Not bad given that I only actually knew one answer which was the one about the lawyer.
8/10. Not European, and wasn't sure how many side games there were on the Game Boy.
8/10 I didn’t know the European title or smash one. (I personally think that his heart is what saved him, but whatever)
9/10 - always loved Kirby, although I've not played that many Kirby games.
@dartmonkey Dang European. Always saying word like “rubbish” and “tea” and “logic”...
What does Yume Kojo: Doki Doki Panic mean again?
10/10
The only one I didn't know for sure was Kirby's official height, but luckily I guessed correctly!
@Apportal Now now, no need to be jealous 😛
Not only does Power Paintbrush sound lame but the font on those words doesn’t match as well as the font on Canvas Curse so it looks like a bad photoshop fake leak.
3/10 I haven't played Kirby that much anyway
I'm European, so 10/10 without even taking the quiz.
3/10. Another awful showing from me on one of these.
I got 6/10. That's OK!
This is my calling...! 10/10, easily. I've been an admin on Kirby Wiki since high school.
For the record, Twinkle Popo was the working name of Kirby's Dream Land. Kirby himself was called Popopo.
9/10 and I'm not even european
The wrong answers for question 8 are amazing.
I'm a Kirby Super Star. Of course.
8/10 - You don't have to be European to know the Japanese would measure his height with the metric system, and even us Americans can tell that 1.5 meters is way too tall.
I know that he has two ex wives and that he's a crack addict. His real name is Charles.
10/10 because Kirby is my poyo boyo
3/10 and 1 of those was a guess. Very happy with that.
Only 4 out of 10. I'm not a big Kirby fan though.
3/10 but I've only played Kirby's Epic Yarn thus far and my girlfriend hates Kirby as a character so I've tended to not get into the franchise.
@MarioLover92 I'm Italian, I'm not a Kirby fan, and I knew Power Paintbrush is called Canvas Curse in the US.
I must be some kind of wizard then, I didn't know!
Just got the height wrong.
9/10. How am I supposed to know about European titles ;P
Twinkle Pop is such an awesome name. If I ever end up doing porn, that will be my alias.
If I would be a guy it would be PETER WANKMAN though.
selects Ghost Trap
"Ghost Trap is what this game is known in Europe*
.....eye twitch
10/10 for me.
...though the real answer to Question 8 of 10 is: Sakurai's bias.
BTW: finished fighters 2 and would be giving away the account I bought in on here for free. If anybody want's it just write me.
Heavily weighed for European people. I NEVER knew that "Kirby's Ghost Trap" was an official title.
Kirby being described as ‘pink and puffy’ has now ruined Kirby for me.
I got 4/10 and I don't feel bad at all. I wanna know who decided that Kirby Power Paintbrush than Canvas Curse, its such a mouthful.
2/10 but I dislike Kirby immensely.
I got 5 out of 10 but I messed up on 2 :c
I got six out of ten.
3/10, which is about five points higher than I expected to score.
9 out of 10; got tripped up because I forgot Kirby's Avalanche had a different name on the other side of the pond.
It is with no shame that I got 2 out of 10
3/10...this felt more aimed at Europeans ;_;"...at some of the questions but the rest i just didn't know lol. guessed it.
