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.

Game appearances

This article or section is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it's being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
No reason has been specified.

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'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.

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.
