Kirby is one of Nintendo's most adorable characters, as well as one of its most bizarre. Here's what you should know about the pink puffball's body.
Nintendo's lovable pink fluffball has been around for over 20 years since his debut in Kirby's Dream Land on the Game Boy. Since then, Kirby has found himself in many adventures that have forced him to adapt to various situations, from getting turned to yarn to riding a giant robot through space, and that's not even getting into his signature copy ability,which changesboth his appearance and capabilities in battle.
Throughout Kirby's storied history, the hero of Pop Star has gone through many changes from great to small to incredibly strange, but always maintaining that adorably iconic silhouette. Here is a quick look at the various weird aspects of Kirby's appearance and biology and how it has changed from conception until now.

Despite being powerful enough to eliminate gigantic magic space monsters and inhale black holes, Kirby's only officially listed height places himat under a single foot. This little factoid comes froma character profile promoting the release of Kirby 64: The Crystal Shardsin the Japanese-only Nintendo Online Magazine.
This listing should be taken with a grain of salt, as in the same game, it's shown Kirby actually reaches about half the height of his friend Adeleine, who is, for all intents and purposes, a normal human girl (albeit one that can paint pictures that come to life). Super Smash Bros. fans should also be awarethatheight hardly matter when it comes to Nintendo characters, as Captain Olimar from Pikminis barely the size of a quarter in his own game.
Considering how rubbery and pliable the little guy is, this should be a given, but it has been officially confirmed that Kirby has no skeletonand no teeth. How Kirby manages to hold himself up and maintain his shape is still a mystery.

The animeKirby: Right Back At Ya! (simply titled Kirby of the Stars in Japan) had an episode titled "A Dental Dilemma" where a dentist monster created by Nightmare Enterprises tries to find teeth in Kirby's mouth to clean, only to find he has none. Not that he needed teeth to begin with, since he vacuums up mountain-sized cakes and monsters on a daily basis.
