Trivia[]

  • In Kirby Super Star Ultra Kirby can dodge Galacta Knight's multi-stab, lance beam, and lance slash just by ducking.
  • All adult members of Kirby's species possess wings of some sort. Meta Knight has bat wings, Galacta Knight has angel wings and Morpho Knight has butterfly wings. It's possible that the reason Kirby lacks wings is because he is still a child and hasn't reached maturity yet.
