Kirby

Japanese Name	カービィ, Kābī
First Appearance	Kirby's Dream Land (1992); with Starfy: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (2008)

Kirby is a character from HAL Laboratory and Nintendo's Kirby series created by Masahiro Sakurai whom has been compared to Starfy on many occasions because of many similarities in art, action, gameplay, and level scenery. However, Kirby has never appeared with Starfy in any games except Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

The English versions of The Legendary Starfy and Kirby Returns to Dreamland are believed to use the same font as a basis.
When Hitoshi Yamagami was asked by Nintendo Power how "Starfy and Kirby would get along if they met one another?", Hitoshi replied "since Starfy and Kirby are both very friendly" "don't you think they would become friends right away?". He notes that Kirby is "very active in the sky", in the same way Starfy is "very active in the sea". ^[1]
The Kirby series features another star-shaped character whose appearance has similarities to Starfy, but is not related to him, known as Mr. Star.
Kirby is shown with Starfy, Baby Mario & Yoshi, in a promotional poster.
He appeared (with his Kirby Dream Land sprites) with Starfy in Super Game Boy Sample program graphics; as it was grouped with The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening source code, a potential anti-Starfy in addition to anti-Kirby was speculated.
