*Much of Kirby's anatomy remains a mystery, particularly his inner workings. Additionally, his weight is always listed as "unknown". An internal memo from HAL Laboratory circa 1993 suggests that this is because his weight "changes a lot before and after a meal".<ref>[https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2022/07/11/translation-of-kirbys-secrets-from-the-20th-anniversary-kirby-of-the-stars-pupupu-taizen-book/ Translation of "Kirby’s Secrets"] from ''[[20th Anniversary Kirby Pupupu Encyclopedia]]'' (translated by Gigi)</ref> | *Much of Kirby's anatomy remains a mystery, particularly his inner workings.

*It is still not known precisely what happens to enemies and objects that Kirby [[inhale]]s, nor where they go when he swallows them. On several occasions, HAL Laboratory has played up this mystery. Director [[Shinya Kumazaki]] states that, for the purposes of keeping the game world approachable, the enemies simply "poof" and then reappear somewhere else in the world.<ref>{{Cite web|author=Chris Plante|date=March 24, 2023|url=https://www.polygon.com/23652624/kirby-questions-answered-directors-nintendo-interview|title=‘What happens if Kirby swallows a hot man?’ His directors give answers|site=Polygon|retrieved=March 24, 2023}}</ref> | *It is still not known precisely what happens to enemies and objects that Kirby [[inhale]]s, nor where they go when he swallows them.

*Kirby has been described as a being "possessing infinite power" in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', and yet it is still possible for him to be defeated or to starve. How exactly Kirby harnesses this power is still unknown, though the fact that he has had over 60 [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] may imply that said quote is referring to infinite potential. It should be noted, also, that both instances of Kirby being described as having "infinite power" come from [[Star Dream]] (one heavily implied, one directly), so it's also possible that this is just a way of Star Dream describing Kirby's great power with | *Kirby has been described as a being "possessing infinite power" in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'', and yet it is still possible for him to be defeated or to starve.
