Kirby Dance
The Kirby Dance is a dance Kirby does in most of his games. Kirby's "dance moves" (sprites used in the dance) within the dance may vary between games and scenarios. Mostly in older games where game memory was limited, it is a common tradition to reuse sprites that already have a use elsewhere during the Kirby Dance. Usually, the dance starts whenever Kirby completes a level, but in some games, like Kirby's Dream Land 3, Kirby will only dance under specific circumstances, usually when he defeats a boss. In the games where he does dance regularly, he may create 2 copies of himself and dance for a longer period of time upon obtaining a Star Rod piece or when he gets the best possible score in the Goal Game, for example.

Kirby's Dream Land
In this game, Kirby will dance whenever he obtains a Sparkling Star. However, upon obtaining the final Sparkling Star, Kirby will do a different and much shorter dance, and the normal Kirby Dance jingle will not play.
Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
In this game, Kirby will dance when he completes the goal game or when he obtains a Star Rod piece. Getting to the top platform of the Goal Game or obtaining a Star Rod piece will make Kirby create 2 copies of himself and dance for a longer period of time, as earlier mentioned.
Kirby's Dream Course
Kirby will dance upon completing every course except Course Dedede. Kirby will always do the long version and create copies no matter what his score is.
Kirby's Dream Land 2
Here, Kirby will dance after the goal game or whenever he defeats a boss, with the exceptions of King Dedede and Dark Matter. If Kirby is currently with an Animal Friend, they will participate as well. Kirby will not create copies of himself in the goal game no matter how high he gets, but when he defeats a boss, (besides the bosses listed above) he will create copies of himself. If Kirby is currently with an animal friend, they will not be copied, but will still participate in the dance.
Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra
In Kirby Super Star and it's remake, the Kirby Dance is performed in 4 out of the 11 modes. It should be noted that if a helper is currently assisting Kirby, they will also participate. Also, the short version of the dance's jingle sounds different than the long version. The modes the dance is performed in are the following:
Spring Breeze
Like in Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby will do a long dance and create copies whenever he obtains a sparkling star, except for the star he obtains after defeating King Dedede, where he will do a shorter dance without creating copies. However, unlike in Kirby's Dream Land, the Kirby Dance jingle will play.
Dyna Blade
In Dyna Blade, Kirby performs a short dance without creating copies upon completing the goal game.
Milky Way wishes
In this mode, Kirby will dance shortly without creating copies upon obtaining a sparkling star from a planet.
Revenge of the King
Here, Kirby will dance after obtaining a sparkling star and after defeating King Dedede. He will perform the long dance and create copies upon obtaining a sparkling star, and perform the short dance without copies after defeating King Dedede. The jingle will once again play after defeating King Dedede.
Kirby's Dream Land 3
In this game, Kirby will dance after defeating every boss except King Dedede, Dark Matter, and Zero. If Kirby is controlling an animal friend, they will once again dance with Kirby. In this game, Kirby will only do the short version of his dance, and will not create copies.
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror
In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, Kirby will dance after obtaining a Mirror Shard or after completing a goal game. Kirby will dance for a longer period of time when he obtains a mirror shard than when he completes a goal game. Kirby will not create copies of himself under any circumstances, however.
Kirby: Squeak Squad
Here, Kirby will dance under two conditions: after completing the goal game, and after defeating a boss (with the exception of Dark Nebula). If Kirby completes a level without getting any treasure, he will dance shortly and create no copies. If he obtains at least one treasure chest, big or small, he will do the long dance. He will also create copies for each treasure chest (excluding the first one). So if he gets 1 treasure chest, he will create no copies, if he gets 2, 1 copy, and if he gets 3, 2 copies. After the dance is over, Kirby and his copies will each open the treasure chest they appeared next to.
Team Kirby Clash Deluxe / Super Kirby Clash
While the Kirby Dance is never performed by Kirby or his teammates, the Kirby Dance jingle will play when the results screen appears upon successfully completing a quest.
