Kirby was the highest voted character in my recent poll on who you wanted me to cover next. I'll be honest, I played many of his games but I feel like I know nothing about him. So, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! In this Origin Oracle, we go into the classic Kirby games to see how he was created, how he got his name, and how Kirby's first game almost crashed and burned.
