Q: In your last batch of guru Q&A you said that Mr. Sakurai specifically said "NO HUMANS", right? If so, what is the HNM salesman doing there?! Not only does he not fit in but he is also the scariest recurring character on the show!
What exactly makes you think Salesguy is human? He's about as human as Dedede.
Name: Mike Liotta
Q: only one question this time XD. Those tourists in that one ep. with Fire Jelly, Do you think those were bloopers, or some new cappy species?
They were just some new made up species like Fumu and Bun, if you ask me.
Answer to ursername180: No, no, no!!! The penguin slide was just put there, never a ripoff of Dedede. Answer to XCuber2: Kirby will mostly see MK as a teacher, when in ability form though (at times).
Why only while in ability form?

Q: Ivyna..hi...this is an odd question but I've always thought about it...How can characters that don't have fingers and/or thumbs actually hold things? The only characters with the appendages seem to be Escargoon, Dedede, the Holy Nightmare Salesman, Lady Like, Sir Ebrum, Fumu, Bun, and Nightmare...or at least of all I've seen. Are their hands extra sticky for things they want to pick up? Do they put velcro on everything? What do you think?
Oh, that's an easy one. Same way Kirby can- they can wrap their lil flappy appendages around whatever it is they're holding. It's kinda like the end of their arms are really moldable to grab whatever they need to grab. Like this:
Oh, and Dr. Yabui has fingers too- he's the same race as Fumu's family. (Rollin/Lauryn, the author of Pappy Pottey is the same as well.)
Q: The last time i ask you a question about adeleine you said see was human so i got two questions
1. how can a human get from earth to popstar?
2. how can a human paint stuff to life?
Dude, game questions are for KW, not me. :D
Name: Tom
Q: Just a couple of weird questions.....(hope i don't get yelled at again :( )
1. On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you hate 4Kids and the English Dub? (1 being Not At All, 10 being Absolutely).
'Hate' is such a strong word. I would say 'strongly dislike'. I still watch it, but I'd prefer to not have to. =P
2. Where can I find pics/drawings of all the characters in the Anime? Including the ones not in the games?
Oh, kirbykirbykirby.com has some good character art, but the way they show it they're much too small.
My site had a good section for it but it's down at the moment...
Other than that... <_< Yer pretty much out of luck.

Q: Just wondering, Is Tiff short for anything? and Tuff?
Probably not.
Name: No Name
Q: This is probably a dumb question and may have been asked before but...Why does Kirby eat so much? Yea he's a baby and a growing boy but Kirby kinda takes it to the max. And how come he never gets fat?
If the evil potato chip episode showed us anything, it's that Kirby CAN get fat, under certain conditions. =P
Kirby eats... Well, because he likes to eat! His stomach seems to lead to an alternate dimension, so it'd be pretty hard for him to ever get full. I guess his race just needs a lot of food.

Q: You should have nominated Tiff and Escargoon for the gameFAQ's character contest. And Could you remake those Kirby Montages without that EVIL fileplanet thing? Thanks!
They aren't game characters. And no.

Q: Hello, just finished reading all your Guru pages... phew, alot. Well onto the questions.
Awesome, someone who reads the earlier stuff. :D
1. Would you consider Silica part of Tiff/Fumu's species? I mean, next to the long white hair and the very white skin, Silica's body chemistry is somewhat similar to Tiff/Fumu's.
Hm... Good question. (And I think ya mean anatomy, not chemistry.) It is possible that they're a similar race, just in different colors. (Like how humans come in different colors. =P) If they were all from the same planet, and had similar ancestors, I'd say the two races would be close enough to interbreed. But, as far as I can tell, Silica isn't from Popstar. So they just look very much alike.
2. Can you show me your best drawing of Silica? You are a really good artist.
Thanks. =) Well I've never drawn her... But hey, I'll give it a shot.
3. Everytime Metaknight's eyes change green (Or was is yellow) he knows more about Kirby or Knuckle Joe, and whenever his eyes turn red, he's talking about Holy Nightmare or death. Could it be that MK's eye color indicates that he is using an unmentioned power of his that can peer into the souls of warriors and see through Holy Nightmare's monsters?
Now that's an interesting theory. ^_^ Though I've always thought it was more related to his emotions... His eyes usually glow green when he's being serious or thoughtful, like when he's giving advice or some cryptic info. They're blue usually when he's happy- like in the Kirby anniversary ep after seeing how strong Kirby is, and also in one of the Knuckle Joe eps as he sees them fighting together.
I do believe that there is a connection between Star Warriors, which was why he knew what Kirby was when he first saw him. And it's also very possible that he could recognize demons on sight- except there have been cases where even he hasn't realized it. (The fake Chef Shiitake/Oosaka comes to mind.)
4. In the first episode after Kirby defeats the octopus monster and stands in front of Tiff and Tuff, you could see a trail of light and stars floating down apon Tiff (you see this in two angles). Does this symbolize Tiff gaining the power to call apon the Warpstar in future episodes?
Hm... *looks at that scene* Mm, nope. No weird lights, except that the Warpstar is shining as she holds it up. I don't think there was more to her having the power to summon it than she cared about Kirby, as Meta Knight said.
Sorry for the long questions, I think like a writer, it drives me nuts too.
No prob. ^_^

Q: Hey again. I have more questions I need to know. First off, when I speak of the show, I always refer to the dub (er, english) version. Now, onto the questions. 1: On www.kirbykirbykirby.com, I chack the info for each upcoming episode. Anyway, they say that each episode is new, but you say the season has ended. Which is true?
The season has ended. There won't be new episodes until the fall The kirbykirbykirby.com site isn't exactly the most accurate source.
2: (This isn't about the show, but...) Do you have any Kirby games? If you do, how many?
That I actually own? Air Ride, Super Star, KDL2, KDL3, K64, and NiDL.
3: The show is soooooooo different than the games, did ANYone from HAL labs work on the show?
Yep, HAL was involved in the entire process. The original idea was actually created by Masahiro Sakurai, the same guy who created Kirby.
4: In my last questions, you answered that the show hasn't been cancelled. Should'nt the episode when Kirby defeats Nightmare be the final one?
Yep, ep 100, is the last one, though many fans in Japan are hoping for a new season.
5: Also in my last Q+A, you asked if I had seen "Sliders". I have never seen that. If it is a Kirby episode, what happens in it?
Sliders was a sci-fi show where the characters traveled to alternate dimensions. Basically, different versions of how the same world could have been. (Small changes in the timeline and all that.) I referred to it, because the Kirby game and anime worlds are much like alternate universes. Similar, yet different.
6: You also wrote that the final episode hasn't aired in U.S. yet. What about Canada? (I'm Canadian, eh?)
It has only aired in Japan.

Q: Hi! Can you tell me the plot and stuff for the tooth whatever episode? Ha nashi ninaranai hanashi? It really bugs me. I wanna know the horror of the drills! XD Thanks.
Well in a nutshell... Bun and Dedede think they can get away with eating junk food and not brushing... But then they both get horrible cavities! Ono. And it really hurts. And they're both terrified to go to the dentist, but then get dragged there anyway. (I'd be afraid too. Yabui is a crackpot.)
But Dedede still wants to get rid of the pain- so he orders a demon beast! But it's not what he expects. :D

Q: Hi Ivyna!
1 - Did you ever listen to the dub theme song long enough to find out how many times they say "Kirby"? I think it's 25, but I just want to make sure.
Do I LOOK like a masochist to you? O_o
2 - In your opinion, which of Kirby's hats in the anime has the coolest hat?
Crash. :D
3 - What was your website again? I'm too lazy to go through your old questions again.
**** you, man. :D
4 - When you first saw the quiz show episode (I forgot what number), how many questions did you get right?
All of them.
Name: NameJT
Q: In the episode Kirby"s Air Ride Part 2,what does it mean when Nightmare said"It's only a matter of time until that warpstar will be ours for the taking"
Ask the dubbers. 9_9 In the dub they left out the part in about Nightmare taking the star vehicles from Star Warriors he killed- so maybe he means that. Soon they'll kill Kirby and take his Warpstar.
Name: Broom Kirby
Q: First let me point out a little mistake. Chilly was created by Ice Dragon, not HNM! Think more clearly! Anyway, give me a synopsis of the next Hammer Kirby Episode. Have you seen Wing Kirby's transformation scene? If yes, what is it like? And what move does W.K. use to kill Krowmon? Bye!
No, technically they were both made by HNM... And I haven't seen any other Hammer Kirby eps, or Wing Kirby. I have not seen any episode that hasn't aired in the US yet, with the exception of the two that were cut.
Oh, and I'm a complete idiot who doesn't read the earlier questions and answers!
Hi, moron. :D
Name: Emily
Q: What DVD is episode 19 on? I wanna see that episode but I am broke, so I don't wanna get the wrong one.
Ep 19? That's on 7.
Can you please post a picture of Princess Rona and Vee for me? I have been wondering what they look like since I have never seen that episode. If you can't I understand. Thanks for your time anyway. :D
Sure thing. (That's Rona in disguise on the left.)
That's all for this time, kiddies!
