Aside from some cameos, Kirby has rarely appeared alongside Mario in either of their series aside from a few issues of the ''[[Club Nintendo (magazine)|Club Nintendo]]'' magazine and, most notably, in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' titles]]–all of which are directed by [[Masahiro Sakurai]], the creator of Kirby's own series. He is voiced by {{wp|Makiko Ohmoto}}, who also voices [[Ness]] in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series.

[[File:Kirby SuperMarioKun.png|thumb|Kirby's first appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise.]]
Kirby made his first ''Super Mario''-relevant appearances in the Japanese ''[[Super Mario-kun]]'' manga. In [[Super Mario-kun Volume 5|volume 5]], when [[Mario]] and his friends are being chased by [[Boo]]s, Mario notices a circular character that he mistakes for another Boo. This character turns out to be Kirby, who helps Mario and his allies by swallowing the enemies. Kirby, however, seems to realize that he is not on [[Game Boy]], and runs off. Kirby makes subsequent cameos in later volumes, such as in [[Super Mario-kun Volume 7|volume 7]] when he shows up to inhale a [[collector]]'s stolen goods.

Kirby debuted in the comic "[[Super Mario: Mario im Wunderland]]". In this comic, [[Mario]] gets to [[Wunderland]] by accident, which is a strange land where a wizard, whose name is [[Crab (character)|Crab]] is said to be able to fulfill desires. Among others, Mario meets Kirby in Wunderland, and mistakes him for a pillow. This annoys Kirby, and since he says he wants to look like [[Mega Man]], he joins Mario on his way to the wizard. When arriving there, however, Kirby just says that he would like to not be a pillow any longer. The wizard then turns him into a toaster.

|[[Ganondorf]]
|Kirby receives Ganondorf's hair and head ornaments. In ''Melee'' and ''Ultimate'', the hair style is based off of Ganondorf's appearance in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'']], but in ''Brawl'' and ''for 3DS'' / ''Wii U'', it was changed to reflect Ganondorf's appearance in [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'']]. Kirby also gains Ganondorf's special move, [[Ganondorf#Warlock Punch|Warlock Punch]], which works similar to Captain Falcon's Falcon Punch. Kirby will begin charging power after pressing the special button and he will unleash the power after a short time. Starting in ''Brawl'', the move can be turned around by inputting the direction opposite of the way Kirby is facing immediately after activating the move.

Pressing the special button will have Kirby toss an iron ball a short ways forward in an arch. The ball will still roll on the ground for a short time, dealing minor damage to opponents it comes into contact with, though it deals more damage while it is in the air.

|Kirby receives Roy's hair and headband, the design of which reflects Roy's appearance in the same game, and gains his special move, [[Roy (Fire Emblem)#Flare Blade|Flare Blade]]. Pressing and holding the special button will have Kirby bring out a variant of the [[fireemblem:Sword of Seals|Sword of Seals]] and begin charging power. Releasing the button will have Kirby unleash the power, swinging the sword down in an overhead swing and creating an explosion. When fully charged, the attack will be unleashed automatically, dealing a blow that can KO an opponent, though slightly damaging Kirby as well.
