While his palette is changed between ''Kirby Fighters'' and ''Kirby Fighters 2'', his original ''Kirby & the Amazing Mirror'' design would be subtly modified between appearances. His original appearance and cameo in ''Kirby Star Allies'' are nearly identical, outside of a slight brightening to his palette in the latter. While this design is ostensibly the one used in the AEON BLACK FRIDAY KIRBY merchandise line, the artwork for this promotion uses his ''Kirby & the Amazing Mirror'' palette, but make his blushed cheeks consistently a lighter colour than his skin tone. This trait is carried over into some, but not ''all'' of the merchandise itself, which also foregoes Shadow Kirby's entirely monochrome color palette by giving him blue eye highlights and making the inside of his mouth pink. Some of the merchandise switches between his original and ''Kirby Star Allies'' palette, too. | While his palette is changed between ''Kirby Fighters'' and ''Kirby Fighters 2'', his original ''Kirby & the Amazing Mirror'' design would be subtly modified between appearances.

Shadow Kirby was born by the [[Dimension Mirror]] reflecting Kirby's innocent soul, and thus appears to have all of the same powers as Kirby. However, unlike Kirby's brave and courteous nature, Shadow Kirby appears to be more mischievous; he views his battles with Kirby as mere pranks | Shadow Kirby was born by the [[Dimension Mirror]] reflecting Kirby's innocent soul, and thus appears to have all of the same powers as Kirby. However, unlike Kirby's brave and courteous nature, Shadow Kirby appears to be more cowardly and mischievous; he views his battles with Kirby as mere pranks, and instead of fighting [[Dark Mind]] directly, he just gives the Kirbys a [[1-Up]] or the [[Master]] ability. Despite this, he is evidently just as powerful and formidable as Kirby, and makes a nuisance of himself when battling the pink puffball in the ''Kirby Fighters'' games. Even with their conflict, Shadow Kirby is considered to be generally heroic, and he guards the Mirror World just the same as Kirby protects Dream Land. | ||
The relationship between Shadow Kirby from ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' and the one from the ''Kirby Fighters'' games was unclear at first, and it appeared they were separate entities with the same name, particularly since in the original [[Kirby Fighters]] and ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', Shadow Kirby was purple rather than gray. However, several hints in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' (such as Shadow Kirby having his color changed to gray, his 45F pause screen description mentioning the Mirror World, and his Very Hard/Final Chapter battle theme being a remixed medley of ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' music) suggested they were meant to be the same being. This would later be explicitly confirmed when the [[Kirby JP Twitter]] released a [[Dedede Directory]] post on Shadow Kirby which used images from both ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' and the ''Kirby Fighters'' games. | The relationship between Shadow Kirby from ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' and the one from the ''Kirby Fighters'' games was unclear at first, and it appeared they were separate entities with the same name, particularly since in the original [[Kirby Fighters]] and ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', Shadow Kirby was purple rather than gray.
