Random: Series Director Discusses The Mystery Behind Kirby's Feet (2024)

Animating character with severe limitations is always a fun challenge that yields unique results.

And I guess I always just thought he feet were red.

I'm left with more questions than answers now.

He's not wearing clothes, he's not wearing shoes. Those are just his feet

Hush! Asking such arcane secrets about one of Gaming's most terrifying eldritch entities could spell doom for us all!

I always assumed those are just his feet. It's not like he has visible arms or hands either – Kirby is a pink balloon with a smile anatomically.

I wonder why people are fixated on this with Kirby? It's not like Goombas and Shy Guys and Waddle-Dee etc aren't all the same in this regard.

THAT'S IT. DELETE EVERYTHING. THE WORLD DID NOT NEED THIS.

....seriously though, why is this a thing.

Kirby exists beyond this mortal plain.

He is not confined to the fleshy imperfections of humanity, but instead he surpasses the impurities of mortality.

His anatomy is beyond human understanding.

Kirby is unknowable.

Kirby doesn't actually have feet. He's just a ball. The shoes are for his regular games and he takes them off for Kirby's Pinball, Block Ball, Canvas Curse, and Rainbow Curse.

Basically he has no idea how it works :v
I still question why all yoshi's are born with shoes on.

Like a lot of other people here, I always assumed those were just his feet. He has no hands, yet can carry/hold/grip perfectly fine with those pointy pink protrusions.

That question is something that is best left unanswered.

I mean there are a bunch of people who were curious about Sonic's feet or Mario's nipples, but that's another story for another time.

I'd rather see Series Director Discuss The Mystery Behind Kirby's Lack of Good Games, to be honest.

I'm sure he just has pink feet, exactly the same shape as his red shoes. It's like a cartoon effect, like when we don't see bare hands (i.e. gloves, like Bugs Bunny) or the character has no clothes on but shoes (like Sonic). It's just whimsy, nothing more.

But those feet from that tweet tho...

This is basically a gulpin with feet. WAYYY more adorable, cuter voice, and better color, but the same body schmatics.

The meme is hilarious, but in all seriousness, he has blobs for hands and blobs for feet. Nothing more.

The things that the internet obsesses over...

I bet Sakurai knows the REAL scoop. It is just too scary of a story to be told to our virgin eyes on the internet.

Like many, I always assumed it wasn't shoes but his feet. And I have to admit that the picture of Kirby with human feet will probably give me nightmares

@pinta_vodki How embarrassing of you to admit to bad taste like that.

Ok, so if you look at recent renders of Meta Knight, you can see that his boots are strapped ON TOP OF his feet. And since Kirby and Meta Knight are of,the same race, we can infer that these are indeed feet, and that Kirby prefers not to wear shoes.

@pinta_vodki What lack of good games? While "Star Allies" may be one of his relatively weaker (but still good) games, and "Epic Yarn" has a mixed reception, most of the Kirby games are great. I've personally had a blast with "Team Kirby Clash Deluxe," "Planet Robobot," and "Return to Dreamland" in recent years.

and yet, i never really cared about his feet. i more so assumed that those two blobs were his feet. besides, Kirby is not human. for all we know he has paws instead of feet...lol

or there is always the possibility that he has no feet and those two blobs attached to his body just help him move around like the shoes they were meant to be.
