| | '''Shadow Kirby''' (also referred to as '''Mirror-world Kirby'''<ref>''"Mirror-world Kirby will be there to keep them all safe!"'' - Ending sequence of ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''</ref>) is a character from ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. As his name implies, he is a shadowy version of [[Kirby]] who hails from the [[Mirror World]], and is initially taken to be an enemy. He appears in various places where he will either help or attack Kirby based on the latter's actions, and tosses the pink hero the [[Master]] sword during the final battle with [[Dark Mind]] if he does not already have it. Shadow Kirby has made a few minor cameo appearances in subsequent games, either in person or as a representation. |

| [[File:KatAMShadowKirby.png]] '''Shadow Kirby''' is a naughty dark mirror image of [[Kirby]] who first appeared in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. Shadow Kirby is the guardian of the [[Mirror World]], and in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' is initially taken to be an enemy. He appears in various places where he will either help or attack Kirby based on the latter's actions, and tosses the pink hero the [[Master]] sword during the final battle with [[Dark Mind]] if he does not already have it.
| |
| | |
| Shadow Kirby is also the final opponent of the ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' [[Sub-Game]] [[Kirby Fighters]], where he battles Kirby using his own [[Copy Ability]]. He later appears as an unlockable playable character in ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' and as a [[boss]] in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''. In these games, he is voiced by [[Makiko Ohmoto]] like Kirby himself. | |
| }}</onlyinclude>{{:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}|transcludesection=lead}}
| |
| ==Characteristics==
| |
| Shadow Kirby appears to have all of the same attributes as Kirby, save for his skin and feet color, which is murky gray in most of his appearances. While his eyes also resembled those of Kirby's in ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' and ''Kirby Star Allies'', they were changed to featureless white in the ''Kirby Fighters'' games, along with the inside of his mouth. In the original [[Kirby Fighters]] and ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', Shadow Kirby is purple rather than gray, and he is given a shimmering, nebulous appearance that carries over to ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''.
| |
| | |
| The discrepancies with Shadow Kirby's appearances between ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror'' and the ''Kirby Fighters'' games are unexplained, however, and are made more unclear by ''Kirby Star Allies'' and ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' using the original design rather than the updated ''Kirby Fighters'' design.
| |
| | |
| 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.
| |
| | |
| 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. In addition, he appears to be less willing to fight directly, as instead of fighting [[Dark Mind]] alongside the Kirbys, he just gives them 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.

After Dark Meta Knight leaves the scene, Shadow Kirby appears from off-screen, then follows him through the door. |

| |
| From there, Shadow Kirby can be encountered in various places throughout the world. When he appears, it is usually from behind a wall, as a sinister music cue kicks in. Shadow Kirby comes with 4 [[Stamina|HP]] and can be easily defeated. In his first appearance in Rainbow Route, he is not actually hostile, and will merely walk into position, then look at Kirby. However in later ones, he will try to attack Kirby with a [[Copy Ability]]. If Kirby attacks Shadow Kirby, he will leave behind a present before being "dispatched", either an [[Invincible Candy]], [[Maxim Tomato]] or [[1-Up]]. However, he will not leave a present if Kirby [[inhale]]s him, [[Cook]]s him, [[Throw]]s him, turns him into a Cherry or 1-Up with [[Magic]], or does nothing. It is unclear why Shadow Kirby will only leave a present after being attacked. It is also unclear how he survives being inhaled and swallowed, cooked, or transformed by Kirby.

| |
| Shadow Kirby is the final opponent in the single player mode of [[Kirby Fighters]] in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. He always has the same ability as Kirby, and is fought in the [[Another Dimension (Battle Stage)|Another Dimension]] battle stage. In this appearance, he has a more purple hue, and his skin texture suggests he is made of magical energy. When he is defeated, he rises into the air and is dispersed. [https://kirbydevpostarchive.tumblr.com/post/164952726911/hal-laboratory-イシダ-hallaboratory-09252014-928 In a Miiverse post], [[Shinya Kumazaki]] revealed that Shadow Kirby uses the same Copy Ability as Kirby to emphasize the idea that "your worst enemy is yourself".
| |
| | |
| He also cameos in the front row of the cheering audience in the short [[Kirby Master]] video, which is obtained upon [[100% completion#Kirby: Triple Deluxe|100% completion]] of the game.

| | |
| ===''Kirby Fighters Deluxe''===
| |
| In ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', Shadow Kirby can be unlocked as an [[Color|alternate color choice for Kirby]] once the game is completed on Very Hard difficulty for the first time. Unlike in the original Kirby Fighters, Shadow Kirby is never battled as a boss.

| Additionally, according to [[Shinya Kumazaki]], Shadow Kirby was considered as a [[Dream Friend]] for ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', along with other characters such as [[Drawcia]], [[Elline]] and [[Galacta Knight]], but ultimately wasn't chosen due to a rule that was established soon after, which only permitted one character per main series title, and [[Dark Meta Knight]] was chosen as ''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''{{'}}s representative instead.<ref>{{Cite|There were other characters that we wanted to make special guest appearances, like Drawcia, Elline, Shadow Kirby, Galacta Knight, and so on.

| |
| In ''Kirby Fighters 2'', Shadow Kirby is fought three times at the Decisive Battlefield in [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]], and is fought in the same location for the final battle of [[Single-Handed Mode]]. Most of the time, he mimics the ability chosen by player 1, only on Floor 25 of Story Mode's final chapter will he instead mimic the ability of Kirby's buddy. In Story Mode, Shadow Kirby will never mimic any Rare Hats that Kirby or his buddy may have on hand when encountered.
| |
| | |
| Notably, due to there being additional non-Kirby characters in this game, Shadow Kirby cannot mimic them exactly. Instead, he chooses the most similar ability to the character in question, as follows:
| |
| *[[Bandana Waddle Dee]] - [[Staff]]
| |
| *[[Gooey]] - [[Whip]]
| |
| *[[Magolor]] - [[Beam]]

| Like in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', Shadow Kirby does not physically appear in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', but Kirby can take on his likeness with one of the alternate [[Color]]s.

| ===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''===
| |
| In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', Shadow Kirby is referenced in the form of a [[Mask#Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe|Dress-Up Mask]], based on his iteration from ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]''. It is rewarded via the [[Stamp Rally]] for completing card #36.
