*From ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' to ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', four-player multiplayer consistently used Kirbys colored in pink, yellow, red, and green. Starting in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', however, blue has been the consistent third color instead of red. This is likely because red is closer in shade to Kirby's default pink, while blue is more identifiable. ''Kirby Battle Royale'' notably lacks a red Kirby altogether, opting to use orange instead. ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'' keeps the same pink-yellow-blue-green layout, but red is the first color to be unlocked, likely referencing its previous role.

**Interestingly, in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', Blue Kirby's HUD icons are called "KirbyRFace," while the other two are properly called "KirbyYFace" and "KirbyGFace," indicating that red was originally planned as the third color.

**In a similar fashion, from ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'' to ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', the green Kirby used for Player 4 consistently had an orange or green cheek blush and orange feet, which was carried over to the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series since ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''. While said series kept this green Kirby design, the cheek blush and feet were changed to a darker green starting with ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', which seems ironic as the darker green cheek blush and feet were previously used in both ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', both of which released prior to ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land''. Additionally, ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl's'' interpretation has a darker green cheek blush compared to later entries released after 2008.
*While several colors of Kirby are consistent throughout the series, the color of the cheek blushes and feet can change on the other palettes. Some games change the cheek blush to match the color, while others keep the blush a dark pink on all colors.

**As another example, ''Kirby'' games during the 2000s used a green Kirby with orange feet, while later ''Kirby'' games show green Kirby with darker green feet. The red Kirby also originally had pink feet, which were changed to darker red. ''Super Smash Bros.'' used the darker green and red feet until ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', at which point they changed to orange and pink, which have been kept in that series despite the change in the main series.
*Two alternate colors of Kirby have official nicknames: '''[[Keeby]]''' is the yellow Kirby from ''Kirby's Dream Course'' (a pun on the Japanese word for "yellow"), and '''くさもちカービィ'''<ref name=ssb>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/n01/n64/software/nus_p_nalj/smash/ChrFrameLayout.html ''Super Smash Bros. (64)'' official website (JP) - Secrets of fighters' alternative colors]</ref> (''Kusa mochi'' Kirby) is the green Kirby from the ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series. ''[[wikipedia:Kusa mochi|Kusa mochi]]'' (literally "grass [[wikipedia:mochi|mochi]]") is a green Japanese sweet. Both of these names are used as the colors for the default yellow and green Kirbys in ''Kirby's Dream Buffet'', though "''Kusa mochi'' Green" is translated into English as "Tea Green".
