A '''minor character''' is a [[character]] who, while having a more significant role than simply being an [[enemy]] or cameo appearance, is still not a major part of the main story. There are many minor characters in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], and their roles typically include appearing in [[cutscene]]s, having dialogue, or even being playable, though only in [[multiplayer]] modes or [[Sub-Game]]s. | {{rewrite|See the talk page, this article needs to decide what its scope actually is.}} | ||
A '''minor character''' is a [[character]] who, while having a more significant role than simply being an [[enemy]] or cameo appearance, is still not a major part of the main story. There are many minor characters in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], and their roles typically include appearing in [[cutscene]]s, having dialogue, or even being playable, though only in [[multiplayer]] modes or [[Sub-Game]]s. In non-game media, minor characters usually only appear briefly, and may not be properly named, but still may have a significance in the story. | |||
For the sake of simplicity, however, this page will focus on characters that don't have enough information to justify having their own separate pages. | |||
==List of minor characters in the games== | |||
The following list covers only minor characters that are either not properly named or have a significance to the game's plot, but otherwise don't have any significant roles outside their minor appearances. It should be noted that this list will not cover characters who appear from other video game franchises or media. Those characters are mentioned on the [[List of references in the Kirby series]] page instead. This list will also not cover audiences or crowds, as they also qualify as cameo appearances: | |||
*In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]'', an unidentified shark swims after Kirby in the opening scene for [[Orange Ocean]]. | |||
*In [[Milky Way Wishes]] in ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', the story begins due to a quarrel between the Sun and Moon, which Kirby seeks to stop. They later help Kirby fend off the [[Galactic Nova]]. | |||
*In [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]] of ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', a pair of Waddle Dees disguise themselves as [[King Dedede & Meta Knight]] and do battle with Kirby and his buddy at the end of Chapter 2. They are not revealed to be Waddle Dees until after they are defeated, and forced to flee the scene. | |||

==Minor characters in other media== | |||
The following are characters that make a one-time appearance in much smaller forms of ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' media, such as promotional material. | |||
===Dashing Superguy=== | |||
[[File:Dashing Superguy.png|thumb|150px|Dashing Superguy]] | |||
'''Dashing Superguy''' is a large and muscular man who makes his only appearance in the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFIsNGq0cgI American commercial] for ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. | |||
In the commercial, he is compared to [[Kirby]] in what appears to be a contest for who is stronger. Dashing Superguy is described to have big hair, muscles, and weapons, which Kirby lacks. The commercial then emphasizes that Kirby's main method of defense is eating his enemies, which he demonstrates by grotesquely [[Inhale|inhaling]] Dashing Superguy, and spitting him out as a cartoonishly mushy, floating head. Dashing Superguy is last seen holding the [[Game Boy]] up at the end of the commercial. | |||
===Puppy and its mom=== | |||
[[File:MKMV VHS tea party.png|left|thumb|150px]] | |||
The '''puppy and its mom''' are characters that appear in the ''Kirby'' segment of the [[Mario Kirby Masterpiece Video]]. In the beginning, Kirby finds a small dog who has lost his mother. Kirby sets off to help the dog, coming across a girl, a bug, and the moon, which tells him that [[King Dedede]] might have the dog's mother. After going to [[Castle Dedede|Dedede's Castle]], he finds Dedede, who is just putting a bandage on the mother's paw. Mother and son are reunited and the four of them have a tea party together. | |||
