The Kirby series is a series of platformers created by Nintendo. Starring the eponymous pink blob-like mascot, the series is noted for its "cute" pastel aesthetic, unique mechanic of Kirby copying enemy abilities, and final bosses that skew surprisingly dark for family-friendly games. While some of the games are directly targeted towards younger gamers (in contrast to the official stance on the Mario series), they are played and enjoyed by fans of all ages, with many memorable side characters such as Meta Knight and King Dedede who are occasionally given playable appearances.
The Kirby series and Mario series have crossed over multiple times. The most notable example is the Super Smash Bros. series, where the Kirby series holds a high degree of influence as series creator Masahiro Sakurai also directs the Smash games. Many mechanics in Smash are based on Kirby and vice-versa, and its three playable characters have very prominent and well-developed roles in The Subspace Emissary story mode for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Outside of this, both franchises have freely referenced each other, mainly in the form of cameo appearances.
