The intro for the second Kirby game, Kirby's Adventure...

Was actually a reference to the Japanese commercial for the first game, Kirby's Dream Land.

ALL THESE YEARS, I HAD NO IDEA. I was right! You were supposed to sing along to that! And it actually originated from the first game!

And speaking of Kirby's Adventure, the commercial for that particular game...

Is what Kirby's Epic Yarn would take visual reference from years later!

It was all Kirby's fault, of course.

Kirby is the greatest. He just wants some cake or whatever and ends up fighting against the literal origin of the darkness that resides within our dreams or whatever lol. That's like, every game. And Kirby kicks everyone's butt along the way.

That, and because as a kid I was able to draw him... Thanks to the intro of Kirby's Adventure.

But he's pink, adorable, eats and sleeps a lot and nobody has an excuse to hate him and that's basically the most inspiring story I've ever heard.

One game have him beat up animals at the beach just to steal their stuff.

It's hard to decide which Dream Land commercial was weirder. Kirby inhaling a kid and then spitting him out into space so he crashes through a star, or Kirby inhaling a giant typical 80s macho man and spitting him out into a slobbery ball of mass. The singing definitely has a bit more charm than the self-conscious, insecure "He's cool! He's cool! Seriously, trust us!" vibe the comparison thing gives off.

And don't even remind me of that Pinball commercial... It's weird I remember all these commercials, though.

I didn't think this one was too bad, and kinda showed off his new ability feature. Not as bad as the Pinball one, at least. Still, I can't help but wonder, what if these commercials had aired in the U.S... Probably not enough obnoxious "extreme" and "cool" factor for 90s U.S., though.

My personal favorite of these final bosses is Kirby's Dream Land 3, where Kirby fights Zero, and during the second phase, it creates lacerations on its spherical body, and then shoots out solidified shards of blood at Kirby. It's the most Evangleion-esqe boss I've seen in a Kirby game.
