Kirby and Animal Buddies

Description

I realized I've done almost no Kirby stuff even though its one of my favorite game series. So here's Kirby with his first three animal buddies, Rick, Coo, and Kine. I always loved these three because each one of them changes all of Kirby's copy abilities giving the games a ton of variation and also that you just get a hamster, owl, and ocean sunfish as power-ups. Coo's my favorite, but I've always loved Kine for how much of a trooper he is. He doesn't seem to combine with Kirby when he uses abilities, Kirby's just using them inside his body and several of them appear to actually hurt poor Kine. But he just soldiers on, helping his friend.

Fun Fact: Rick, Coo, and Kine's original Japanese names are Riku (land), Kuu (air), and Kai (sea). They share this naming convention with another famous gaming trio, Riku, Sora, and Kairi, with Sora meaning sky instead of air.

Sprites are from Kirby's Dream Land 2 for the Game Boy with some edits to add color.

This is extremely cute. Kine was always my favorite for being such a butt monkey and for just being this big derpy fish, but I love Coo's theme music.
