Four commonly seen colTemplate:Ours of Kirby.

ColTemplate:Our Changes refers to the different colTemplate:Ours, colTemplate:Our schemes and palettes that can be applied to Kirby and other characters, enemies, or objects. Most commonly, it refers to alternate colTemplate:Ours that the unknown reader can choose for Kirby to be. While Kirby is most well recognized in his native pink, he has been seen in a great many different shades and hues throughout the Kirby series, especially in multiplayer games and Sub-Games.

ColTemplate:Our Changes by title

The following will go over other colTemplate:Ours of Kirby (and others where applicable) in each game in the Kirby series. Games that do not offer colTemplate:Our changes will not be listed:

Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

Before the introduction of Copy Ability hats, several abilities distinguished themselves in Kirby by changing his colTemplate:Our. Many abilities, such as Needle, Wheel and Stone change Kirby to a more orange hue, while Ice and Freeze change him to a light blue.

In Nightmare in Dream Land, red, yellow and green Kirbys can be seen in the Sub-Games. These could be controlled by other players.

In both versions, enemies and Mid-Bosses can also come in several different colTemplate:Ours. Waddle Dees for instance, could be orange, blue, green, yellow, red, purple, or even monochrome.

Kirby's Dream Course

In this title, a yellow Kirby (officially known as Keeby) is controlled by the second player. This is the first instance in the series of multiple Kirbys in a game, distinguished by colTemplate:Our.

Kirby Super Star (Ultra)

Although Copy Ability hats were introduced in this title, additional colTemplate:Our changes to Kirby were still present on many abilities. Examples include yellow for the Beam ability, green for the Plasma ability, blue for the Ice ability, and purple for the Ninja ability, among others.

Enemies, Mid-Bosses, and even Bosses could also come in different shades and hues. A prime example of this is the Boss Chameleo Arm, whose colTemplate:Our is random each time Kirby encounters it. Kirby can also use the Paint ability to change Chameleo Arm's colTemplate:Our mid-fight.

In Kirby Super Star Ultra, the green, red and yellow Kirbys can be seen and played as again in the Sub-Games.

Kirby's Dream Land 3

Like in Kirby's Adventure, some abilities, like the Ice ability, will change Kirby's colTemplate:Our when equipped.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

In the Sub-Games, picking multiple Kirbys will cause the others to be assigned a different colTemplate:Our. These could be pink, yellow, blue, or red.

Kirby Air Ride

In this title, the unknown reader has the option of choosing between several different colTemplate:Ours for Kirby, some of which need to be unlocked by completing objectives in the Checklist. Different colTemplate:Ours can also be chosen for Meta Knight and King Dedede. They are as follows:

Default

Unlockable

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror

Although they were first seen in Nightmare in Dream Land, the red, green and yellow Kirbys feature prominently in this title, and are given a role in the main story mode. These can be controlled by the CPU, or by other players. In addition to these, a fifth Kirby can be found in the game, with a very dark grey hue.

In addition, the unknown reader has the option to change Kirby's colTemplate:Our using Spray Paint.

Kirby: Squeak Squad

Like in Kirby & the Amazing Mirror, the unknown reader has the option of changing Kirby's colTemplate:Our using Spray Paint, though this time there are some new colTemplate:Ours to choose from, and the colTemplate:Ours will also apply to Kirby's abilities in various ways, as well as the Copy Palette.

The red, green and yellow Kirbys also appear again in the Sub-Games.

Kirby Mass Attack

In this title, the colTemplate:Our of a Mini-Kirby indicates their state of health. Pink indicates full health, blue indicates low health, and white indicates no health.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

In addition to Meta Knight, King Dedede and Bandana Waddle Dee, secondary players can choose between a yellow, blue or green Kirby to accompany the standard pink Kirby, both in the main game and in Sub-Games.

Using amiibo, Kirby can be given a number of different colTemplate:Ours in addition to Copy Abilities. As an example, the King Dedede amiibo gives Kirby the Hammer ability, and also turns him yellow.

In the Sub-Game Team Kirby Clash (and in the expanded spin-off Team Kirby Clash Deluxe), four Kirbys make up a team of role-playing heroes. They come in pink, yellow, blue and green.

  • Pink
  • Yellow
  • Blue
  • Green
  • Orange
  • Gray

Kirby Star Allies

The standard yellow, blue, and green Kirbys can be seen in the Sub-Games.

Trivia

  • Although Kirby has always been pink in Japan, there was a little bit of confusion abroad at first, resulting in Kirby being portrayed as white in international releases of Kirby's Dream Land.
  • While several colTemplate:Ours of Kirby are consistent throughout the series, the colTemplate:Our of the cheek blushes can change on the other palettes. Some games change the cheek blush to match the colTemplate:Our, while others keep the blush a dark pink on all colTemplate:Ours.
