Kirby Dance
From Kirby Wiki
The Kirby Dance is a term used to describe the short dance Kirby does in most of his games usually after accomplishing a certain action (like beating a boss), though the dance itself differs depending on the game and sometimes there are multiple variations in the same game. Kirby is sometimes joined by two or more other Kirbys who mirror his dance.

[edit] Notes
In most games, Kirby splits himself in three and does the dance. In Kirby Super Star, Kirby is joined by his helper to do the dance.
In Kirby & the Amazing Mirror Kirby is joined by three differently-colored clones of himself and depending on how many are with him when a boss is defeated, both the dance and the finishing pose will be different.
In Kirby: Canvas Curse Kirby (who's been transformed into a ball) doesn't do the dance himself but rather a group of Kirbys are seen doing it on a black and white top screen behind him.
In Kirby Squeak Squad, this is how the Kirby Dance goes:
- 0 or 1 treasure chest- 1 Kirby does the dance.
- 2 treasure chests- 2 Kirbys do the dance.
- 3 treasure chests- 3 Kirbys do the dance.
[edit] Anime
The Kirby dance appears in episode 73 of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!; Waddle While You Work (Waddle Dee for Sale in the Japanese version) where Kirby witnesses King Dedede's Waddle Dee doing the dance then finishes the episode by doing it himself.
The music used for the dance was changed in the English dub however.
[edit] In Super Smash Bros. Series
Three variations of the Kirby Dance are used in the Super Smash Bros. games as Kirby's victory pose after winning a match. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl Kirby's Up Taunt is also inspired by the Kirby Dance.
[edit] Trivia
There isn't an official name for the dance and some people just call it the Victory Dance.
