…why is this so unsettling? Kirby is literally sucking up the entire world here, establishing his world-ending powers right from the beginning. We’re kidding, just a bit, but it’s a smart move to put the character’s defining skill — his ability to suck in everything — on the box. The paper-like background is a really cool effect, too, uncovering what might be a nefarious world behind the curtain. It’s bright, colourful, quintessentially Kirby, with the star dominating the box art as he should.
Japan
…why is this so cute? You might say “well, duh!”, but we’ve just talked about Kirby’s awesome power. Here, we just want to give him a cuddle. The Copy Ability is on show here with all of the various different Kirby’s on the box, with the standard pink puffball in the centre. You can see Sword, Hammer, Sleep, Fire, Parasol, Laser, Beam, and many, many others. Some of the minigames, like Quick Draw, also get a nod on the box. And the white background helps make the pink and the yellow stars really pop. It’s an overload of cuteness.
Thanks for voting! We’ll see you next time for another round of the Box Art Brawl.
