Revision as of 12:12, July 1, 2023
i <3 (er... love) Kirby!!
I have loved Kirby since the very first Smash Bros... so much that i created a site about him-- [kirbyclub.cjb.net The Kirby Club](visit that site and join with your google account if you wish). But I have never seen or played Melee (although im looking for an emulator as im looking round this site =) ) so how big is kirby? someone reply please !!
~~~~kirbylover4000 (i am yet to be a user...)~~~~
Why exactly...
...do we have a page on him (and slightly less notably, Giant Bowser and Giant DK) but not Giant Charizard? It seems like a hole in the giant-versions-of-characters boss collection. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 21:46, 25 September 2015 (EDT)
Deletion
I agree with the deletion of the Giant Kirby, Giant Bowser, Kirby team, and Yoshi team articles; they are not any distinct entities with their own special properties, and so these articles basically just boil down to "Smash 64/Melee had you fight them in their 1P mode/Adventure mode, and then future Smash games sometimes had you fight them among a bunch of other giant and team character possibilities". The relevant information is entirely covered in the relevant single-player mode articles. Omega Tyrant

- How does that apply here? This isn't a matter of "was Giant Kirby ever notable", it's "there's nothing more special about Giant Kirby than the plethora of other giant characters you fight in Smash single-player", and the scant of relevant information about him is contained within the associated single-player modes articles.
