**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.
