The “Kirby of the Stars” series celebrated its 30th anniversary this year since the first release. It is a popular series that has produced more than 13 main works, spanning generations from Game Boy to Nintendo DS and Nintendo Switch.
Kirby is a pink and cute character that is loved by many people, but the series has various “horror effects”, and some players are traumatized. So this time, I would like to introduce three trauma scenes from the Kirby series.
A sudden change in cute appearance…
First of all, I would like to introduce Marc, the representative character of Trauma in the Kirby of the Stars series. The character is a wizard with a clown-like appearance, and first appeared in “Ginga ni Negai wo” in “Kirby’s Dream Land: His Super Deluxe”.
In the same work, he betrays Kirby and turns him into the last boss, but it seems that many people find that appearance to be “trauma”. This is because Marc, who originally had a pretty cute appearance, grows wings of a bizarre shape when he becomes the final boss, and his decorations become quite spiky. In addition, the techniques he uses during battle are brutal, such as splitting his body in half and creating a non-cardable black hole in the middle.
Also, in the remake version of the same work, Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe, he takes on an even more violent form, “Marcusoul”, and his appearance changes even more strangely and ominously. When he is defeated, he explodes while shouting a terrifying “Gah!”, and is a character that instilled a strong trauma in the kids of the time.
By the way, the Super Famicom version of Kirby has a premium, and it is often traded at a price of over 10,000 yen on Amazon.

Chasing following bright red eyeballs
Next is the final boss “Zero” of “Kirby of the Stars 3”. Zero, who was doing his best to take over the planet “Popstar” where Kirby and others live, has a strange appearance of a pure white sphere with red eyes.
Even in its normal state, Zero looks creepy, but when it evolves into its second form, the central part cracks like an eggshell, and only bright red eyes pop out. Moreover, it can be said that the appearance of relentlessly chasing Kirby while scattering something like blood spray is an inevitable trauma production.
