In real life, I've seen Kirby brought up by people a ton more compared to before, I see people walking around with merch of him now, and there's just way more Kirby sightings in general. (2/3)

And while his games aren't mainstream, they've sold a lot more compared to before! Having an iconic main character is great for any series! I just wish HAL would push him more in regions besides Japan. (3/3)
