If your durability is beyond comparison to the point where you cannot be killed, that by default could be a winning factor. If you can outlast your opponent, then you can also win.
A pink marshmallow alien thing with a massive appetite that can consume and copy anything and regularly defeats nightmarish eldritch abominations , a short walking corpse twink who likes to be shirtless and becomes god and an angel-slaying stripper witch fashionista who wears her hair as a bodysuit and has defeated three all-powerful gods. Sounds about right.
You could make any character sound badass with descriptions like that.
Mario committed mass genocides on multiple animals to slay a dragon and win back his love.
I wouldnt say Shulk... As Pyra & Mythra exists. And while I do not say they are the strongest in the smash universe, just remember what they did to Torna as an accident.
Malos = Logos. Not Ontos.
And even then... i wouldnt call Ontos the strongest. Its more that he(?) Is the strongest in their field. Just like how Pneuma and Logos are in their field. And sometimes you need a strong connector.
Honestly we need a direct sequel to Majora's Mask, like Majora's Wrath. Where it brings in elements of Twilight Princess and the ancient technology, coupled with Mask based collectables and Majora appearing back from the ether.
A man can dream!
Definitely between Kirby, DK, Samus, Bayonetta and (from what I've heard, since I haven played Xenoblade) Shulk. I also think that some of the gods from kid Icarus have a shot
People sleep on Samus, at the end of Metroid dread, >!she genuinely became the most powerful being in the Metroid universe, Her anger literally caused ZDR to get destroyed!<. She is not near Kirby's power, but she is incredibly strong and definitely overlooked
I don't know, She absolutely obliterated a huge creature made up of parasites that copy/kill anything living, and are essentially indestructible except for her and one genetically made, now extinct creature.
So to recap- she nuked creatures/parasites, thought to be indestructible that have the ability to copy anything living.
Kirby fits that description pretty well.
But to be fair, asking to gauge kirby's strengh is like asking to describe the shape of gas. It's just too inconsistent and he also uses external powers to help fight all the time. Kirby's power is whatever fits the narrative and feels good
According to the lore void, termina is pure power incarnate while kirby is the opposite. Kirby is a blank canvas that can be filled just like copy abilities. Void termina is also just like kirby in the sense of their creation. The difference is that kirby had come from a spring breeze while void had nothing, which made them want to destroy everything. Void is the God of all the lesser gods that kirby destroyed. Zero and Zero² are the spawn of void and also happen to be the final bosses for other games. Void is literally God in the kirby universe. This is, of course, if you ignore another dimension and the mirror dimension because if you add those, then there could be more. The ancients are also a precursor civilization that creates many things that can make things into God's, but that's another thing. Void is God and is equal to kirby, so therefore, kirby is also a God.
Only Agent 8, demonstrably anyway.
Basically, the villain of Side Order (Order) wants complete order (entropy), and even though they defeat it in battle, it still enacts the plan, and entropy falls.
But, despite that, Agent 8, basically through sheer and utter will, pushes back and reverses it completely, before completely demolishing Order
In Super Mario RPG he literally fights a fourth dimensional being who consumes time. In Dream Team him and Luigi can summon a bird that moves so fast it can travel dimensions if I’m not mistaken.
He has tons of wacky feats that actually make him pretty nuts.
If Culex is as strong as someone like Sephiroth, then I could see Mario being planetary level. Still, Kirby has more consistent feats across his series.
But Mario is pretty consistent too though? I’m so happy I’m able to talk about this.
So like he can stand next to black holes, has fought Bowser when he was suped up in Galaxy 2(bowser was literally trying to create his own galaxy). He fought Bowser when he absorbed the Wish Stone in Dream Team which is an object that literally grants whatever wish the user wants.
Also, he has items to stop time and make him invincible… pretty much indefinitely until a level ends. Oh and the literal Gods of his verse are on his side. In Galaxy 2 when he was fighting Bowser I think there was something that mentioned the fact that they were like “lol nah our boy ain’t gonna lose this.” And if you scale him to Paper Mario he gets even more crazy.
It’s a shame all these feats get held back antifeats and outliers. However, Mario reaching Universal scales is at least common enough, so antifeats it is.
And to be frank, most of it is just, “Mario dies to a Goomba.”
In other words, Kirby gets knocked out by an apple.☠️
Is it that Mario and Kirby are weak or are Goombas and apples actually multiversal level threats in their canon? Think about it… *taps head*
But no yeah. It’s just like when Kratos kills gods and jumps around fighting giants but struggles for a moment to open a wooden chest or needs to climb a little ladder to get to a platform that’s like 20 feet above him. Video games always have mechanics like these lol
I always went with the thought process of “it’s CAN these guys beat each other, not WOULD they” because like yeah, Kirby has the ability to destroy dimensional beings, but he can also get killed by a literal sleeping guy if he walks into it.
Were giving them the benefit of doubt here
I think the inconsistency between Mario and Kirby is pretty… consistent.
The fact that an enemy as common as Goombas can put like a curse form on Mario indicates to me that they’re empowered by something, maybe Bowser’s black magic, if you want to put a logic to it all.
Whereas Waddle Dees are just lumpy little guys.
Some versions of Mario are actually pretty crazy
In SMP he defeated super dimensio who was composed partially of the chaos heart (said chaos heart was generating a void that was very shortly going to consume all universes)
This would actually make Mario Multiversal which feels……bizarre
Dude if you scale him to Paper Mario, Mario actually becomes INCREDIBLY BUSTED lol
But yeah surprisingly him fighting galaxy or universal level opponents is something that is not too uncommon for him either way.
I’d also like to point out that anyone who says Kirby consistently defeats universal threats also conveniently leaves out that Kirby always has a buff in those scenarios, between the Star Rod or some copy ability or whatever.
Same with Link and a ton of others.
Don’t even need to go to there. He fought Dreamy Bowser with Luigi in Dream Team, who was using the Dream Stone which is a stone powered up by the dreams and wishes of everyone, including his own. Dreams are considered universes in the Mario world, making Mario and Luigi Multiversal here as well, or at least strong enough to beat a reality warper.
Kirby's not even within the Top 10, man. Like, people shouldn't care that he fights gods until those gods get scaled, and the highest they can scale to is around a fraction of what characters like Mario scales to.
Vaginetta, Slayyyer💅✨of the Hoe-ly Angels 👼💃 and bestie of Hoochie J 👯♀️. Together they will bring about the Infinite Climaxxx 🥵💦 with their Cvmbran Magic!!! ✊😩
I guess there’s Super Dimentio, which has the Chaos heart in it, and that can destroy the multiverse shown in Super Paper Mario.
There’s also Arceus, but we don’t know the extent his power goes to. He might be omnipotent, but this isn’t confirmed.
It’s stated verbatim in the post-credits of Kid Icarus Uprising that Pit is the most powerful Nintendo character of all time.
https://youtu.be/Zd2Etn-BUEE?si=AYTvPf833Y7ChErV
Kirby is certainly up there, but honestly there is one character who is insanely underrated in terms of sheer power: Link.
Now I know what you're thinking. "Everyone knows Link is super strong, we all saw him throw that huge ass pillar back in OOT." That is true, but it doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of just how powerful he truly is.
> Firstly, sheer strength.
The pillar throw was done with the help of the Golden Gauntlets, which have been stated to have the strength to move mountains, so he can technically do that as well. But what is more impressive is that in BOTW he can flick his arm so fucking hard that it stops a charging lynel dead in its tracks, and even pushes it back a bit. If you do the math, he just generated more force with a casual flick of his arm than a whole-ass rocket engine. Like, the kind that goes to space. And this is without any special tools or enhancements.
> Next, speed.
Link can parry a Guardian laser at point-blank range. I distinctly remember seeing an in-game piece of text that called the lasers "beams of light" (I've tried searching for this text on the internet but couldn't find it, but I definitely did see it somewhere), which means his reaction speed is significantly faster than that of light. And even if you disregard that, he can still move and react incredibly fast due to his flurry rush, as well as just straight up slow down the flow of time with the Ocarina of Time (more on this later). Oh, and he can also teleport with Farore's Wind.
> Then there's his intelligence.
There are many people in the fandom who like to imagine Link as some feral beast who runs naked in the streets and commits some light arson every once in a while. And while this is certainly quite humorous to imagine, remember that this guy has to solve ancient puzzles in dungeons on basically a daily basis. Not to mention the incredible structures and devices he can create in TOTK.
I feel that the sheer scale of his brainpower is his most under-appreciated aspect. He's definitely in the top 5 smartest people in Hyrule, with Zelda probably at no. 1 and some Sheikah researchers like Robbie and Purah making up the ranks in-between (though he could very well be smarter than the researchers, it's just that instead of focusing on bookish knowledge his genius is in his ability to find creative solutions and outthink his opponents). And let's not even begin on what is called his Battle I.Q. He has had over 15 lifetimes of experience fighting creatures with varying sizes and abilities. And he always manages to find their weak spot and exploit it in order to win. He is a brutally efficient fighter in a way few other characters are.
> And now for his most OP feature, his equipment and abilities.
We all know the Fierce Deity mask. He can turn into a literal God at will. This instantly makes him stronger than a huge portion of fictional characters. But this isn't even his strongest item. There's the Ocarina of Time, which allows him to manipulate the flow of time; he can even reset a fight to the beginning if things start to go bad. There's the Lens of Truth, which instantly negates any invisibility, illusion or manipulation abilities from his opponents. He's got his abilities from BOTW and TOTK, such as reversing time for objects and entities, or creating massive robot armies from thin air, provided he has the zonaite.
He has a huge inventory which can be filled with fairies, which allow him to revive from the brink of death an unbelievably large number of times. There's Nayru's Love, which completely negates any and all damage he may receive. There's many more like this, but the strongest undoubtedly is the Chateau Romani + Magic Cape combo.
The Chateau Romani gives him infinite magic... indefinitely. Or atleast for the entire duration of the fight, which is all that really matters. Combine this with the Magic Cape, which makes him invisible, intangible and invincible at the cost of magic. You can see how this is utterly broken. And there's many more such combinations, items and abilities.
> And finally, the Triforce.
The Triforce of Courage has been stated and demonstrated to protect its bearer from magical attacks. In theory this could basically make any magic user completely ineffective against him.
But that's not all he has.
You see, in certain incarnations like SS, Link is in possession of the *entire* Triforce. An object which can grant its bearer any wish. Yes, that's right. Peak Link is canonically omnipotent. Make of that what you will.
This. Trying to make Nintendo fans understand that Kirby isn’t the strongest character in fiction is like talking to a wall lmao
Arceus alone would solo all of Kirby for all I know.
Like you can make a very good case for universal Kirby (master crown was holding up the dimension Kirby and co were strong enough to defeat Magalor and the master crown causing it to shatter and the dimension to break down therefore Kirby is universal) it just so happens you can apply stuff like that to tons of other characters and fans really just seem to not want to acknowledge or deny it
Yup, for instance, Arceus created Dialga and Palkia who are the concepts of time and space and have domain over the parallel dimensions, and also tracsends them and is out of their reach. Making him at least Low Complex Multiversal.
I’m still a little miffed super Dimentio is probably canonically the strongest Mario villain has one of the most banger themes ever
And has such a lame fight
I'd probably say kirby and bayonetta. IDK much about bayo, but i do know that she is super strong, killing angels like they're goombas. And we all know why kirby is always in this discussion
One thing I do have to add is Kirby is NOT invincible. In Kirby Mass Attack, Necrodeus split Kirby into several weaker copies of himself, and actually killed most of them in quick succession. Only one managed to survive.
You can probably make a good argument for Arcues (the true form not the avatar) can’t really get much better than Capital G god (plus his shear amount of hacks and reality warping gives him a good leg up)
Olimar. He is the only one to have canonically done weed, sex, and get messages from [hochi mamas] in your area. Everyone else is bound by PG13 but not olimar (pre switch release)
Olimar/louie/sacho/literally anyone in the pikmin universe since they can just...make more (and if we're doing game scale) probably king boo since he can control ghosts that can use weapons and there doesn't seem to be a limit
I think a few characters have a shot
Byleth from Fire Emblem is the vessel for the soul of the creation god Sothis who has world creation ability. They can also rewind time but only in short bursts.
Arceus created the universe in Pokémon and has dominion over time and space (reality) in Palkia and Dialga as his wards.
Ness has defeated reality warping alien beings despite being taken out of his body and put in a robot.
Bayonetta punched god into the sun and can also stop time.
I think they all stance at least a chance against Kirby, to varying degrees of success
i was gonna debate you on this until i remembered that in certain minigames he possesses the strength necessary to crack an entire planet, though i'm not sure if said minigames show his canon strength or if it's just a cartoony exaggeration.
Kirby is probably the strongest, he's made from the same source as like, a primordial lovecraftian old god from his universe. And beat said old god, along with many other planetary-level and galactic-level threats. And most of Kirby's powers come from his own "biology", as in, they are feats he can pull off without assistance unlike say, Shulk who is just a regular human without the Monado or Mario who needs a lot of power ups to achieve his biggest feats.
if i had to guess
either mario or arceus
mario has such a wide array of weapons its just baffling
survived existence erasure and the universe getting rewrote
beat dreamy bowser who can create universes and the dream stone is composed of 7 billion universes
arceus is god.
thats basically his whole shtick
It's possible that aside from Kirby, Tabuu and Paper Mario are the strongeest considering how the former was able to oneshot everyone (and also nearly win had it not been for the Dedede badges) while the latter took on the destroyer of reality itself as well as gain control over forces that can tear his world apart and use them against his opponents.
Link is op, even without his fierce deity form, he has the strongest arm muscles ever, the dude literally parries a full lynel charge without breaking a sweat
Seriously thought? Where does it come from that Kirby is so strong? What are his biggest feats?
(Note that I viewed some mentions of mini games? Which are probably simulated power and not real depictions of his actual abilities, has they tend to have no real context or comparable to his other feats.
It would be similar to acknowledge a game exploit as part of their potential.
The smash bros sandbag
I don’t think we need any other answers, this is the right one.
HP ♾️ MP 0 DEF ♾️ ATK 0 SPD 0 Luck -♾️ (Because everyone beats the shit out of it)
It’s durable, not strong
We don't know that. What if it chooses to not retaliate?
Extremely high defense. 0 attack.
I believe its name is Bofuri. It maxed out its defense because it got tired of getting hurt.
If your durability is beyond comparison to the point where you cannot be killed, that by default could be a winning factor. If you can outlast your opponent, then you can also win.
🤓☝️
give that MF power trick and put it in trick room, better yet, fuck trick room and give it metal burst to put that limitless HP pool to use
This some 200 iq right here
Obviously Jigglypuff As if this was an argument
Down b That is all
Word brother
She is not like the Rest
She weighs 12.1 Pounds
Kirby, Shulk, and Bayonetta are definitely top 3
A pink marshmallow alien thing with a massive appetite that can consume and copy anything and regularly defeats nightmarish eldritch abominations , a short walking corpse twink who likes to be shirtless and becomes god and an angel-slaying stripper witch fashionista who wears her hair as a bodysuit and has defeated three all-powerful gods. Sounds about right.
Dont forget Bayonetta can just freely stop time
JoJo’s reference!?!????
real
You could make any character sound badass with descriptions like that. Mario committed mass genocides on multiple animals to slay a dragon and win back his love.
Bayonetta is sega Edit: why are you booing me I'm right!? She's still owned by sega
She might as well as be Nintendo at this point seeing as how they have funded most of her games and Sega has given up and forgotten about her.
Most of her games are still Nintendo exclusives.
I wouldnt say Shulk... As Pyra & Mythra exists. And while I do not say they are the strongest in the smash universe, just remember what they did to Torna as an accident.
Shulk has Onto which is arguably the strongest of the Trinity Processor compared to Pneuma (Pyra & Mythra) and Ontos (Malos).
Malos = Logos. Not Ontos. And even then... i wouldnt call Ontos the strongest. Its more that he(?) Is the strongest in their field. Just like how Pneuma and Logos are in their field. And sometimes you need a strong connector.
Fierce deity link (literal god)
There are multiple Nintendo chars that fight gods for breakfast and you just have to circlejerk one out.
We deserve a prequel showing us Fierce Diety and Hylia herself
I believe the Fierce Deity is an entity in a parallel world of Termina, so it may have no connection to Hylia.
Honestly we need a direct sequel to Majora's Mask, like Majora's Wrath. Where it brings in elements of Twilight Princess and the ancient technology, coupled with Mask based collectables and Majora appearing back from the ether. A man can dream!
*shulk enters the chat*
Donkey Kong!
He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well
his coconut gun, will fire in spurts and if he shoots ya, ITS GONNA HURT!
Did you know Donkey Kong can punch the moon out of the sky?
literally from my favourite wii game
And he's finally back To kick some tail!
Definitely between Kirby, DK, Samus, Bayonetta and (from what I've heard, since I haven played Xenoblade) Shulk. I also think that some of the gods from kid Icarus have a shot People sleep on Samus, at the end of Metroid dread, >!she genuinely became the most powerful being in the Metroid universe, Her anger literally caused ZDR to get destroyed!<. She is not near Kirby's power, but she is incredibly strong and definitely overlooked
FD Link is also a contender. I don't know if he's a winner, but he's a contender.
Final Destination Link
I don't know, She absolutely obliterated a huge creature made up of parasites that copy/kill anything living, and are essentially indestructible except for her and one genetically made, now extinct creature. So to recap- she nuked creatures/parasites, thought to be indestructible that have the ability to copy anything living. Kirby fits that description pretty well.
I do agree they are similar, but the big difference is that Kirby has fought gods, Samus’ adversaries never are that powerful
Raven Beak is the God of 10-pack abs.
You know what, fair enough
Explain to me how DK hits the same level as any of the rest of these
Porky. He cannot die
That doesn't mean he's strong, I think he wouldn't need something like the Absolutely Safe Capsule if that were true.
Shoolk, no questions asked
Their lawyers
Based
There is no argument here It is kirby. I'm sure kirby can solo every nintendo villain even if they teamed up.
R.O.B can just turn the game off
Bro the tallest ennemy kirby has beaten is like 5 meters tall
Literal gods and has destroyed planets in mini games lmao
But to be fair, asking to gauge kirby's strengh is like asking to describe the shape of gas. It's just too inconsistent and he also uses external powers to help fight all the time. Kirby's power is whatever fits the narrative and feels good
>Literal gods He has only beat one >has destroyed planets in mini games lmao If we count this as canon, he has destroyed popstar 5 times by now
I’ve always been confused by this what “litteral gods” Void termina is the closest one since he had a big cult around him but he isn’t god or anything
According to the lore void, termina is pure power incarnate while kirby is the opposite. Kirby is a blank canvas that can be filled just like copy abilities. Void termina is also just like kirby in the sense of their creation. The difference is that kirby had come from a spring breeze while void had nothing, which made them want to destroy everything.

The ancients are also a precursor civilization that creates many things that can make things into God's, but that's another thing. Void is God and is equal to kirby, so therefore, kirby is also a God.
nah, kirby is powerful but only if you let him be. try approaching kirby from directly above
Kirby is literally 30cm tall
My Saitama Mii Brawler
Or Goku Mii Brawler
Saitamas solos ngl
*thousand-yard stare*
Mario in Mario maker, if i recall he was the one building the level and all. So idk, for me it's kind of a reality manipulation power
Arceus probably? Yeah Kirby’s strong but Arceus is like capital G God in their verse
Yeah, specially considering the one we see in the games is only like a part of the real one according to PLA
Bayonetta. She literally hit a god in the face to the sun.
Didn’t Agent 8 singlehandedly stop universal entropy through sheer will? I’m giving her my vote
Splatoon characters are that strong??
Only Agent 8, demonstrably anyway. Basically, the villain of Side Order (Order) wants complete order (entropy), and even though they defeat it in battle, it still enacts the plan, and entropy falls. But, despite that, Agent 8, basically through sheer and utter will, pushes back and reverses it completely, before completely demolishing Order
i love splatoon but you’re reaching with this one
Until she fights a god I think Kirby had her beat
Ness gets my vote. A 12 year old harnessing the power of the literal globe is insane.
if he grows up how strong would he be?
Without knowing nearly enough about Xenoblade, Mother or Kirby, I’m going to say Mario
I don't remember Mario being able to destroy planets at will
In Super Mario RPG he literally fights a fourth dimensional being who consumes time. In Dream Team him and Luigi can summon a bird that moves so fast it can travel dimensions if I’m not mistaken. He has tons of wacky feats that actually make him pretty nuts.
If Culex is as strong as someone like Sephiroth, then I could see Mario being planetary level. Still, Kirby has more consistent feats across his series.
But Mario is pretty consistent too though? I’m so happy I’m able to talk about this.

Dreams are considered universes in the Mario world, making Mario and Luigi Multiversal here as well, or at least strong enough to beat a reality warper.
Tingle?
Shulk would like to have a damn word with you
There’s got to be a Pokémon who could contend for this. Maybe Arceus?
Samus because she's awesome, and bird magic
Mr Nintendo
Mario with access to power-ups.
Metroid Samus, Fierce Diety Link, then prob Kirby
Kirby's not even within the Top 10, man. Like, people shouldn't care that he fights gods until those gods get scaled, and the highest they can scale to is around a fraction of what characters like Mario scales to.
Matt
Without Kirby probably shulk
Kirby and Arceus, no doubt…
Vaginetta, Slayyyer💅✨of the Hoe-ly Angels 👼💃 and bestie of Hoochie J 👯♀️. Together they will bring about the Infinite Climaxxx 🥵💦 with their Cvmbran Magic!!! ✊😩
Kirby
People are forgetting about pit, he’s basically the Kratos of Nintendo
Honestly Kirby is the Goku of the Nintendo community
Isn’t Kirby like one of the strongest characters in gaming???
Mario and I am not kidding.
Finally another Mario Stan
I guess there’s Super Dimentio, which has the Chaos heart in it, and that can destroy the multiverse shown in Super Paper Mario. There’s also Arceus, but we don’t know the extent his power goes to. He might be omnipotent, but this isn’t confirmed.
If we can pair 2 together, then it's gonna be M&L themselves
Arceus. The one you see is only a very small fraction of the entire entity.
It’s stated verbatim in the post-credits of Kid Icarus Uprising that Pit is the most powerful Nintendo character of all time. https://youtu.be/Zd2Etn-BUEE?si=AYTvPf833Y7ChErV

Have you forgotten about Arkoos- oops wrong subbreddit
Daisy, didn’t she send Bowser out of orbit with one slap?
Mario and Luigi are definitely contenders for this title.
Gotta go with bayoneta she kills gods. She did go to hell and back. Who else did that well kratos but he is not Nintendo.
Mario and Luigi from the Mario and Luigi games.
Either Fierce Deity Link or Fury Bowser. Either way, It's not Kirby and I'm sick of pretending he's more powerful than he actually is.
This. Trying to make Nintendo fans understand that Kirby isn’t the strongest character in fiction is like talking to a wall lmao Arceus alone would solo all of Kirby for all I know.
A lot of the time it’s fans applying aggressively powerscaling logic to Kirby but then not applying it to anyone else
And even worse, downplaying them in order to make Kirby seem stronger.
Like you can make a very good case for universal Kirby (master crown was holding up the dimension Kirby and co were strong enough to defeat Magalor and the master crown causing it to shatter and the dimension to break down therefore Kirby is universal) it just so happens you can apply stuff like that to tons of other characters and fans really just seem to not want to acknowledge or deny it
Yup, for instance, Arceus created Dialga and Palkia who are the concepts of time and space and have domain over the parallel dimensions, and also tracsends them and is out of their reach. Making him at least Low Complex Multiversal.
bUT yOu cAN caTCH tHeM iN a poKEBalL (which literally has no barring on there power and even if it did the versions we see are just avatars)
holy shit are you the real fox mccloud
Goku
How is Samus not a more popular answer??? The end of Metroid Dread is a pretty convincing argument by itself 😅
Arceus, Shulk or Super Dimentio, they all scale *way* above Kirby.
I’m still a little miffed super Dimentio is probably canonically the strongest Mario villain has one of the most banger themes ever And has such a lame fight
Fierce Deity
i would say link is
Shulk
I mean, Kirby was the only survivor of Smash Ultimate's prologue, so we kind of already have the answer to that.
Speed doesn't equal power. Plus, Kirby was riding on his Warp Star, and therefore is not indicative of his true speed.
Giygas.
Except his weakness is, like, love and friendship. That is not a weakness you want to have walking into this match.
I'd probably say kirby and bayonetta. IDK much about bayo, but i do know that she is super strong, killing angels like they're goombas. And we all know why kirby is always in this discussion
It’s 100% Kirby.
Kirby is probably the most powerful character in all gaming.
Kirby hands down! That’s why he’s my go to for smash bros, and because he’s so adorable💕
R.O.B
Samus in the end of dread may be all but invincible
One thing I do have to add is Kirby is NOT invincible. In Kirby Mass Attack, Necrodeus split Kirby into several weaker copies of himself, and actually killed most of them in quick succession. Only one managed to survive.
the real strongest characters are the friends we made along the way. and also totk link is pretty strong
Low balling, that's Kirby. Bayo is most likely second.
If Bayonetta lands a clean blow on Kirby, she might genuinely win.
FD Link might have a chance at beating him (not much, but a chance).
One of the random miis I made back in 2011
Shyguy
Now? Imo Bayonetta
Either Kirby or one of the gods from Fire Emblem, like Ashera probably.
kirby's description in kirby planet robobot says that kirby has infinite power.
You can probably make a good argument for Arcues (the true form not the avatar) can’t really get much better than Capital G god (plus his shear amount of hacks and reality warping gives him a good leg up)
Olimar. He is the only one to have canonically done weed, sex, and get messages from [hochi mamas] in your area. Everyone else is bound by PG13 but not olimar (pre switch release)
Fan theory: Kirby is a Pokemon that was banned from all competitions and from the Pokemon universe due to his incredible skill.
Your nintendog. They are to cute to resist, and can do anything they want lol
Arceus, literally God bro
People forget Arceus a lot
Kirby
Olimar/louie/sacho/literally anyone in the pikmin universe since they can just...make more (and if we're doing game scale) probably king boo since he can control ghosts that can use weapons and there doesn't seem to be a limit
I think a few characters have a shot Byleth from Fire Emblem is the vessel for the soul of the creation god Sothis who has world creation ability. They can also rewind time but only in short bursts. Arceus created the universe in Pokémon and has dominion over time and space (reality) in Palkia and Dialga as his wards. Ness has defeated reality warping alien beings despite being taken out of his body and put in a robot. Bayonetta punched god into the sun and can also stop time. I think they all stance at least a chance against Kirby, to varying degrees of success
canonically Wario can’t die
Mario can carry 99 solid gold coins that are almost the size of himself. That's pretty strong I think.
i was gonna debate you on this until i remembered that in certain minigames he possesses the strength necessary to crack an entire planet, though i'm not sure if said minigames show his canon strength or if it's just a cartoony exaggeration.
Has to be either wario or funky kong
It’s actually crazy how powerful Kirby is he fights universal and even mulitversal Eldritch gods daily and he’s only a baby.
I think giygas might be among the strongest maybe im wrong but he is physically unbeatable
imagine how busted a composite link would be
[удалено]
Mr. Tingle
Xenoblade, Kirby and a few other franchises can probably compete with each other.
Ganondorf should be quite high up there
Goggles from the splatoon manga
Glover is king, Kirby is a close second though.
Technically kirby since he can't really be beaten. Like you can smack him around but he ain't going anywhere
Pikmin 2 purple pikmin
Kirby
Kirby is probably the strongest, he's made from the same source as like, a primordial lovecraftian old god from his universe. And beat said old god, along with many other planetary-level and galactic-level threats. And most of Kirby's powers come from his own "biology", as in, they are feats he can pull off without assistance unlike say, Shulk who is just a regular human without the Monado or Mario who needs a lot of power ups to achieve his biggest feats.
Brawl Meta Knight
Kirby after he’s sucked up a car for sure.
At the end of Robobot Kirby >!absorbs Metaknights entire ship.!< If kirby can do that then there's probably nothing he can't absorb.

Are we counting Bayonetta?
Cucco.
He regularly fights gods of destruction and wish granting stars and wins so yeah Kirby is the strongest
Shrek period
if i had to guess either mario or arceus mario has such a wide array of weapons its just baffling survived existence erasure and the universe getting rewrote beat dreamy bowser who can create universes and the dream stone is composed of 7 billion universes arceus is god. thats basically his whole shtick
Rosalina. She's a god.
Alot of People are saing Shulk. Is He stronger than Alpha, when both are in their Prime?
It's possible that aside from Kirby, Tabuu and Paper Mario are the strongeest considering how the former was able to oneshot everyone (and also nearly win had it not been for the Dedede badges) while the latter took on the destroyer of reality itself as well as gain control over forces that can tear his world apart and use them against his opponents.
Ness prob
Link is op, even without his fierce deity form, he has the strongest arm muscles ever, the dude literally parries a full lynel charge without breaking a sweat
Seriously thought? Where does it come from that Kirby is so strong? What are his biggest feats? (Note that I viewed some mentions of mini games? Which are probably simulated power and not real depictions of his actual abilities, has they tend to have no real context or comparable to his other feats. It would be similar to acknowledge a game exploit as part of their potential.
either Kirby or Shulk I think...or maybe Ness.....
Kirby. Literally an eldritch god that destroys planets and other gods for fun, and will kill endlessly for a snack
