Summary: Kirby is a small ghost who has the ability to suck up his enemies like a vacuum cleaner. When he spits them out, he can take on their abilities. He lives on the planet Popstar, and fights to protect it from the evil king Dedede.

The Good: Kirby is a cute hero. Kids who’ve played the video games will probably enjoy the show.

The Bad: Unless you’ve played the video games, the show may be difficult to follow.

Offensive Material: Well, Kirby is a ghost. But he’s more like the Casper variety.

Overall: Kirby is the Casper the Friendly Ghost of the 1990’s. This series is cute, but only good for the easily amused.
