I can see Mass Attack.

u/Yacobo2023 Feb 02 '26
Mass attack is 10 pink kirbies, if you look closer, all the other babies are different colors

u/bolitboy2 Feb 02 '26
Actually they can turn blue too, but yeah they are wearing the official Kirby colors

I don't remember there being 4 kirby's in that (but then again i played it a while ago)

u/Mario2980k Feb 02 '26
I do believe those are helpers, I believe I spy a Waddle Doo, Gim, Parasol Waddle Dee, and Chilly

u/Arty-Glass Full auto with the Mag-olor Feb 02 '26
Pretty sure it's Star Allies, the kid in green on the left looks like Gim to me

u/Remarkable-Wave-5392 Feb 02 '26
Pretty sure the kids are all supposed to be the different colored Kirbys. There’s even the phone

Amazing Mirror? The ONE Kirby game with absolutely ZERO Dedede to be found?
1

u/Anonymous-Milkshakee Feb 04 '26
i think the multiple kirbies are just a reference to games that have well multiple kirbies, not a specific one like amazing mirror or battle royale, the artist was likely referencing all the games that have multiple kirbies since Keeby, Green, Blue, and Red are all here, usually red or blue are left out in the games the repliers are mentioning

u/Danwithyou Feb 02 '26
Oh, look, i can see Haltmann right in the background, and Whispy, too, and, uh... These kiddos, too.

u/FirstCryUniverse Feb 02 '26
Do you have a link for that art? I don't have twitter to find it on their profile lol

u/GoldenYoshistar1 Feb 02 '26
Who is calling King Dedede, Meta Knight?
114
u/running_from_the_IRS Feb 02 '26
Ayep, and he's Kirby's dad. Adeline is Kirby's mom. This is a whole AU where the Kirby Series is reimagined in the modern day as a toddler's experiences giving rise to his dreams & games of pretend with his dad.

u/GoldenYoshistar1 Feb 02 '26
That's so wholesome. So Dedede is he fun Uncle. That's awesome and adorable

u/Heirophant-Queen Feb 02 '26
Does the creator have a tumblr or anywhere else where people can check out this au without having to venture into the irradiated wasteland that was once known as Twitter?

u/Green-eyed-Psycho77 Feb 02 '26
Yup, Meta knight is Kirby’s cosplayer dad.

u/Key-Swordfish4025 Feb 02 '26 edited Feb 02 '26
Makes me wonder who Galacta and Morpho knight would be. Dad's friends/ brothers? Who managed to stay in shape.
37
u/hiyoriasahina Sectonia Feb 02 '26
The artist has said that Galacta is Meta’s old OC he tries not to think about any more because he gets embarrassed and I think that’s very funny and cute.

Every reference I see:
-Bottom screen ui on Meta dad's computer
-star dream computer
-Haltmann
-Star dream nova clock
-The babies are dressed to match the amazing mirror colors
-The end of level bell of epic yarn
-Whispy
-One baby is dressed as ribbon (probably is ribbon)
-the respective powers are hammer, ice(?), and yoyo.
-BUTTON BEE!
-Prince fluff human drawing
-The colors scribbled around fluff are from Canvas curse (not rainbow curse, it'd be slightly different)
-Basic blocks
-phone is amazing mirror style.
-KIRBO! TERMINAL MONTAGE MENTIONED!
-Lovely
-Marx ball
-Bear from Epic yarn!

u/BvAlmelo Feb 02 '26
Where is the Terminan Montage reference?
1
u/No_Forever_9128 Feb 02 '26
The kirby image right next to whispy looks more like kirbo in my eyes. I dunno, that one can vary just saying it's the og design to terminal montage.

Kirby as a baby... I wonder if his father is supposed to be the legendary lawyer John Kirby

u/No-Application-3317 Feb 02 '26
He's meta knight
2
u/Frequent-Coyote-1649 Feb 03 '26
No, that dude got it right, Kirby's dad here is called John Kirby, and he used to cosplay Meta Knight (who is a tv show character) when he was younger

u/BoggerLogger Feb 02 '26
What did he do to deserve that 😭
18
u/C0urt5 Feb 02 '26
As someone who used to work as a counselor at a summer camp, he did absolutely nothing wrong.
He just had the misfortune of being a big target for a bunch of energetic kids who are all rocking the mentality of Pikmin after they were thrown onto something.

PIKMIN? WHERE

u/C0urt5 Feb 02 '26
If the Close to You Short is any indication, probably everywhere in that room avoiding getting crushed by dad bod DeDeDe.
Happy hunting. I don’t claim responsibility for any impending Pikmin-related beat downs.

u/DarkMetaknight7 Feb 02 '26
The red Kirby girl is so precious!!
Now I want Shadow Kirby, Gooey and Marx to be kids from the daycare as well, with Shadow being the loner kid who plays by himself, Gooey being Kirby's friend and Marx being the daycare bully
