Kirby
Debuting in 1992, Kirby has been the spherical, pink protector of Dream Land for about 20 years now and a resident of gamer's hearts for just as long. Known for his famous tactic of inhaling his enemies and any surrounding objects before spiting them out again, Kirby's games were specifically designed to be playable by both new and old gamers alike. A unique blend of action beat-em-up and side-scrolling, puzzle-solving platformer, the Kirby series includes a total of 30 games (for now) and has sold over 38 million units worldwide.
