Kirby is capabale of saying more than "Poyo". This is related to the previous misconception, although this one also applies to the anime. In the Japanese version in particular, Kirby often says words such as attack names, character names, and Copy Ability names, and also repeats words other characters say.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9fzKdI3K_s Every time Kirby talks (or tries to)]</ref> These vocalizations were almost all cut or replaced with "Poyo" in most dubs of the anime, hence the misconception. | Kirby is capabale of saying more than "Poyo".

It's also worth remembering that Kirby is depicted as a "baby" in the anime, whereas in the games, despite a similar appearance and mannerism, Kirby is not considered to be an infant. He is instead a [[wikipedia:Silent protagonist|silent protagonist]] in the vein of Mario or Link. Like those two, Kirby is capable of communicating with other characters using language, but the player is not privy to what Kirby says. This is most evident in the Story Mode of ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', where Kirby makes numerous gestures to signify him talking, and which other characters respond to as if Kirby said something comprehensible to them. | ||
