Kirby Squeak Squad was developed by HAL alongside Capcom, Flagship, and even Natsume. Like the earlier Game Boy Advance entry, this is one of the Kirby adventures where HAL Laboratory reached out to some other developers for help. Few are outright bad, many are just okay, but the ones that really stand out remain a genuine treat even today. In honor of his 25th birthday, we ranked them all from worst to best, splitting the "traditional" games from the spinoffs. Through it all, Kirby has remained a fixture in Nintendo's lineup, starring in as many games as Link and Zelda. His malleable nature allows Nintendo to do just about anything with him, even drop him into a pinball game. Some of his best games are the ones that take traditional gameplay tropes and turn them on their head, like the peculiar but lovable Kirby Mass Attack. In the years since, Kirby has served a role similar to that of Wario, allowing Nintendo experiment with different mechanics in a low pressure setting.
Kirby was a non-descript blob, literally just a placeholder while HAL thought of something better, but the developers eventually warmed to him, and so did gamers. Twenty-five years ago, a pink puffball-well, he was white then-arrived on the Game Boy courtesy of HAL Laboratory.
