Kirby (カービィ, Kābī in Japan) is a pink puffball and the main protagonist of his own eponymous video gaming series by Nintendo. He’s normally lovable in the series, but in Kirby Squeak Squad, he was badly flanderized.

Why He Sucked
NOTE: This is only focusing on the  Kirby Squeak Squad  interpretation of him since Kirby himself is generally a likable character.
 * 1) Kirby himself was the sole reason why the story was problematic, all because of him going on a rampage because his slice of cake was snatched (yes really), and the first thing he does is jump to a pretty dumb conclusion that it was King Dee Dee who did it. In which he mindlessly beats up King Dee Dee in his own home. Because of this, King Dee Dee's treasure chests were also stolen from the Squeak Squad.
 * 2) * Even after it was revealed that King Dee Dee (someone how was later revealed to have nothing to do with the whole problem), he was just standing there like a dope when it all happened as he was picked up by Dee Dee and thrown at the Squeak Squad, so he just wanted to get his cake back and nothing else as his main motive.
 * 3) He is much more of a bland and basic version of Kirby as a hero, where he comes out short by personality and character development. This makes him clichéd somehow. He's basically a generic "I'm gonna save the day" type of protagonist with his traditional vacuum-sucking ability and nothing else to say about him.
 * 4) His new abilities are either mediocre or flat-out poor to use, the stupidest one being the solid one; where he moves and flies way too slow.
 * 5) He can easily lose his ability any time he's hit.
 * 6) At the end of the game, despite his goal of getting his cake back and was also bribed into getting Dee Dee's treasure back, he stupidly unleashes darkness upon his world twice, the day was saved out of pure dumb luck aside from the Squeak Squad giving up on invading Kirby's world as Kirby was still thinking about the cake the whole time.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Despite showing his ruthless side at the beginning of the story, he still takes down the Squeak Squad and redeems himself since he is still good at what he does as a hero.
 * 2) His design is faithful.
 * 3) * He undoubtedly has a bit of charm with the outfits he wears like the hat and the bear suit making him look very adorable.
 * 4) With that said, most of his abilities are useful (i.e the powerful bubbles' ability for example) and sometimes fun to use like the hat.
