What 'n tarnations?
Some of this while silly, there are a few that look like actual Kirby lore themed creatures. Like these:
• 0:17 (I'm guessing this is Meta Knight, if it isn't, I can kind of still see him in the Kirby verse as another ancient Superweapon).
• 0:32 (Good old eldritch bosses, fits right in for a commercial or actual dark themed show).
• 0:38 (The tree has been corrupted! And he speaks for no other tree!)
• 0:47 (Honestly I know who this is, but he still looks like a Trickster that belongs in the exiting new adventures of the LOZ, but he might be the rare case where we see more human in Kirbo. Probably takes the form of this Jester to fool the Hero's as some other simple silly jokester at first).
I expect Kirby in a dark 80s fantasy to be
* A cute little pink haired androgynous child
*a MUSCULAR MAN because this is AMERICA and Kirby’s a MAN
* a BIG TITTED LADY because Kirby’s pink so he must be a girl
