Anime Profile: Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

Based on the popular series of Nintendo games, the little round and pink adventurer Kirby is finally starring in his own animated series.

As a Warpstar Knight in training, he crash lands on the world of Popstar and meets the residents of Cappy Town. As it turns out, the world of Popstar is threatened by Nightmare, a powerful demon that has a gigantic army of monsters, most of which are distributed by Nightmare Enterprises. Nightmare has destroyed many worlds, although they have been opposed by the Star Warriors.

It is rumored that a legendary hero will soon come to destroy Nightmare for good. And to the Cappy's surprise, it turns out to be Kirby. Kirby stays on Popstar and befriends the residents of Cappy Town. However, he is antagonized by King Dedede and his assistant Escargoon.

King Dedede tries to get rid of Kirby by ordering monsters from Nightmare Enterprises. However, none of them are any match for Kirby's inhaling powers, which can give him the ability/power of any enemy he sucks up. Will Kirby live up to his destiny and defeat Nightmare?

Note: In the English dubbed version, many episodes are aired out of order. The Japanese version is mostly episodic, except for a few story arcs. However, the Dub skips over a number of them, even to the point of using scenes from episodes later in the series in older ones, thus officially throwing the original continuity out of order.
