==Continuity of miscellaneous content==
==Continuity of miscellaneous content==
{{youtube|gCs7KFEeHWk|300|right|The real life Kirby Café features short and simple stories that do not contradict or complement any major events of ''Kirby'' games. This is just one of the many examples of how continuity of miscellaneous content is often overall disconnected from others.}}
It is often left unclear if miscellaneous content, often called "complementary" or "supplementary" material, is meant to be an extension of the various continuities of the series. This includes, but is not limited to, posts on the [[Kirby JP Twitter]], [[Kirby Café]] content, game manuals, promotional videos, and merchandise. This is often due to the fact that said content often does not directly contradict facts present in continuities, but instead is mostly disconnected from it. An example is the story of Kirby Café, which is very isolated and could be either a completely different continuity of the series, or part of an existing one. Sometimes, however, this kind of content does contradict the continuity of the games; for example, the [[:File:Twitter commemorative - Valentine's Day 2017.jpg|a Kirby JP Twitter Valentine's Day illustration from 2017]] features various friends and enemies interacting together, and it could be argued that this is unrealistic or even impossible given the stories of some characters featured.
