TheSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatedevelopment team’s hard work with bringing the upcomingMinecraftDLC to the game has become increasingly apparent over the past few days. Possibly the cutest addition coming with the October 14th DLC has been revealed, with Kirby’sMinecraftform inSmash Bros. Ultimatebeing just as adorable as one would expect.
Just like intheKirbygames, the pink character absorbs parts of an enemy’s appearance, as well as their powers, when sucking them into his mouth. That is no different withMinecraft’s Steve, as Kirby absorbs the character’s iconic blockiness while maintaining Kirby’s aesthetic. Kirby’s shoes become as blocky as he does, while his eyes also adopt a squarer shape that is fitting of the design.

MinecraftKirby, while certainly adorable, also seems to be functional as well. Based on the images provided by Nintendo Europe, Kirby’s absorbed ability is one of the mostinteresting skills from Steve’s deep moveset: building. Kirby is seen building blocks in the images released and wieldingMinecraft’s shovel in others, which in turn allows him to dig up parts of a stage to pull off certain moves. A white Kirby can also be seen within a shot, showing that Kirby’s alternate skins still work despite the extreme transformation.
Other screenshots featuring the endearing, blocky version of Kirby include glimpses of iron ingots on the floor. Iron will be used just like it is inMinecraft, with drops of the crafting resource being used by Steve (and possibly Kirby) to build things like iron swords. With the swords even having weapon durability, thecrafting system featured withinSmashis extremely detailed and is far more than just a flashy homage to Steve’s beloved game.
Though the Kirby screenshots do not showMinecraft’s Mii costumes in actionor theMinecraftWorld’s many biomes, both features will be available when the DLC arrives in a few short weeks. TheMinecraftstage will feature six of the game’s different weather types, while the Mii costumes will include a few different options for the Brawler and Swordfighter variants. With the former seeing a pig and creeper equitable and the latter allowing for diamond armor to be worn, plenty ofMinecraftoutfits are on the way within the upcoming DLC.
Smash’sMinecraftcontent comes with new musicas well, with tracks fromMinecraftspinoffs joining the fighting game’s extensive library. All theMinecraftcontent arrives in just a few weeks, so it will not be long before Kirby’s adorableMinecraftversion is seen fighting withMinecraft Dungeonsmusic playing in the background.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimateis available now exclusively on Nintendo Switch.
