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 two 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. | The '''Kirby Dance''' is a dance [[Kirby]] does in most of his games.

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Kirby will dance after completing the Goal Game, after obtaining a piece of the [[Lor Starcutter]], and during the Kirby Master video. He will dance for a short period of time after completing the Goal Game if his score is under 1, and dance for a long period of time if his score is 1. He will always dance for a long period of time after any of the two latter conditions are met. Additionally, during the Kirby Master video, along with normal Kirby, King Dedede, [[Meta Knight]], and [[Bandana Waddle Dee]], a [[Kirby (species)|yellow Kirby]] will join the dance, which is presumably a copy. Aside from that, Kirby never creates copies during the dance. | In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', Kirby will dance after completing the Goal Game, after obtaining a piece of the [[Lor Starcutter]], and during the Kirby Master video.
