'''Kirby's house''' is a | '''Kirby's house''' is a location in [[Dream Land]]. As the name implies, it is [[Kirby]]'s place of residence, and where he goes to sleep at night.

Kirby's house is a fairly small white dome-shaped hovel, consisting only of a single room topped with a chimney, one window, and a door. The window has no glass in it (instead only consisting of a wooden frame) and the dome itself appears to be made out of stone or clay. Outside the house is a small sign with some stars on it, which presumably mark the building as Kirby's. Despite having this home, Kirby is content to have meals and sleep wherever he pleases outside, at least during the day. | Kirby's house is a fairly small white dome-shaped hovel, consisting only of a single room topped with a chimney, one window, and a door.

According to an official Japanese profile written to tie in with ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', the house was built for Kirby by the residents of Dream Land after he recovered their stolen food from [[King Dedede]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20230327141303/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/nom/0003/miryoku/ "Get to know the charms of the popular character, Kirby!" - Nintendo Online Magazine]</ref> Inside the house, there is not much in the way of furniture or other belongings. The only notable furnishings are a bed, a fireplace, and a ''[[wikipedia:chabudai|chabudai]]'' (a kind of Japanese tea table). Kirby's green [[sleep]]ing cap is usually seen when he is at his house. According to an official Japanese guidebook for ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', [[Gooey]] also lives in Kirby's house.<ref>[https://twitter.com/kaialone02/status/1150886953312817152?s=21 Kaialone02 on Twitter]</ref> | ||
