Dream Land’s number one hero turns 28 this week, on April 27th (which was technically yesterday in Japan), and to mark the occasion, the official Japanese Kirby account has provided a new illustration. This isn’t the first time they’ve given Kirby his very own birthday card, but this year’s theme is centered on party balloons courtesy of his Circus copy ability.
われわれワドルディレポート隊から、みなさんにもプレゼントが！今年はお祝いイラストの「ぬりえ」バージョンも用意いたしました～！
自由に色をぬって、ぜひ「#星のカービィ28周年」をつけてツイートしてくださいっ！
カービィさんのお誕生日をみんなでお祝いしましょう～っ！！ pic.twitter.com/hOfpkwl55D— 星のカービィ (@Kirby_JP) April 26, 2020
Blowing all those up must’ve been no trouble at all for Kirby, though let’s hope he doesn’t try to eat that latex cake anytime soon. He deserves a freshly baked one, or a different sweet treat!
For anyone looking for an extra art project, the account has also provided a blank version of the same illustration in the tweet thread. You can sit back with Kirby and enjoy coloring in the festive scene to your own liking!
ハッピーバースデーカービィ！
本日はカービィのお誕生日です！カービィカフェは休業中ですが、今ごろカービィはプププランドのなかまたちからも、盛大にお祝いされている事でしょう♪
営業再開後に、またみなさまと一緒にカービィをお祝いできる事を楽しみにしております。#星のカービィ28周年 pic.twitter.com/7GGERFw3Pn— KIRBY CAFÉ / カービィカフェ (@KirbyCafeJP) April 27, 2020
Though he might have to settle for phone calls and virtual happy hours this year, it’s still an anniversary worth celebrating. Happy 28th birthday, Kirby!

When he isn’t writing for Nintendo Wire, Ricky’s anticipating the next Kirby, Fire Emblem, or if the stars ever align, Mother 3 to be released. Till then he’ll have the warm comfort of Super Smash Bros. to keep him going.
