    I feel like this is going to be one of those stories where some Rockstar employee has a completed version of the game but completely forgot about it.

    Considering that Nintendo hired Rockstar (formerly DMA Design) to develop a Kirby game around the same time as _Grand Theft Auto,_ of all things, then imagine the canon where Kirby ate all of Big Smoke's order.

    Since Kid Kirby, a lot has changed about Kirby's age. More so, while Kirby: Right Back at Ya! isn't at all canon (It features Dedede *dying* from being turned to ash, at the end of its final episode.), a good amount of elements from the anime have carried into the games as I've discussed before.
    At least in the anime canon, Kirby's species is immortal, living for hundreds of thousands of years. Meta Knight explains all this by saying that Kirby was born 200 years too early. Meta Knight is biologically a thousand or more years old, while Kirby is some amount of hundreds below a thousand. Since there is no confirmed age for these characters, or any equation of Kirby species years to human years, my point is that Meta Knight is mentally in his 20s or older, while Kirby is mentally a baby.
    Which means that, if Kid Kirby ever happened... It wouldn't fit in with the canon that exists for Kirby.

      @@Insertgenericusernamehere809 The difference isn't the size of his body. The difference would be his mental capabilities.
      Despite his instincts for heroics (and violence), Kirby's mental age is that of a baby. You can't make someone younger than that... unless that Kirby game starred a completely different hero.
      Say, maybe a prequel with Meta Knight when he was Kirby's age.

    If that happen, Games Kirby implied be teen or more older than that. The old manga portrait him like that.
    The other media aka Anime Kirby, he's baby with 1000 years old. That how work freezing wintering.

    It would have been awesome to get more SNES games that used the mouse. It worked so well for Mario Paint I was sure they would keep it going, but they basically seem to have decided it was a one-time gimmick, which was really disappointing. It felt like a lot of wasted potential.
    Mario Paint itself seemed like something they would continue but didn't. I doubt a new Mario Paint could have saved the Wii U, but it seemed like a no-brainer to try it as a showcase for the gamepad functionality, which they crammed into other games so clumsily. Missed opportunities all around.
