This year, Kirby is heading to a forgotten land, but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing to remember. In 1992, he embarked on his first foray into Dream Land, which makes 2022 the year of Kirby’s 30th birthday!
To mark the occasion, a new logo features the pink puffball riding Warp Star with a smile on his face. The accompanying star pattern leaves a good impression for sure, but it’s not the only celebratory way HAL has put together today.
the Kirby’s 30th Anniversary Website has opened, and while it’s rare at the moment (hosting links to details on Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby’s Cafe, etc.), it has a special wallpaper for fans to download. Featuring Kirby in all sorts of ways, it has shoutouts to dozens of past Kirby titles.
This includes a Hole in One! for Kirby’s Dream Course, an Air Ride machine, riding with his Animal Friend Kine, and even holding a Ripple Star certified Crystal Shard. They’re not the only ones, but perhaps the most notable is the one where he’s holding Tiff and Tuff from Kirby: Right Back at Ya! No corner of Kirby’s 30-year legacy is off limits, it seems.
Look out for more Kirby 30th birthday celebrations throughout the year!

When he’s not writing for Nintendo Wire, Ricky is anticipating the release of the next Kirby, Fire Emblem, or if the stars ever align, Mother 3. Until then, he’ll have the warm comforts of Super Smash Bros. to continue.
