Wholesome Kirby Fan Animation Showcases Many Ways Kirby Can Fly

A Kirby fan has made a unique animation that highlights all the different ways the pink puffball can fly.

For Kirby's 30th anniversary, one talented fan has decided to highlight this aspect of the series in a special animation that features almost every way that players can fly across multiple games. The animation focuses on a growing number of playful puffballs soaring high above the clouds.

The animation was made as a passion project by Twitter user @highzle, and the love can be felt from the detail put into the flying puffballs at the forefront, to even the smaller Kirbys that can be seen in the back.

Kirby's friends and their own abilities to float and fly are also represented at the very end as a little treat. Fans in the comments are loving trying to find their favorite Copy Ability, with Jet being the most satisfying one to find as it moves just as fast as one would expect from it.
