Kirby
Backstory:
Kirby arrived in Dream Land one day, riding on the spring breeze, and he's been living happily ever since. He spends most of his days eating, napping, and playing with his many friends; in fact, almost everyone else in Dream Land shares a similar carefree lifestyle. This has attracted the unwanted attention of many malevolent forces, who either despise their happy nature or are envious of it. But although he may not look like it, Kirby has managed to fight off each and every one of them, while even making some new friends along the way. With noble allies by his side and his trademark Copy Ability, the pink puffball has proved himself a hero through and through, using his powers to protect Planet Popstar and save it, planets beyond, and even other worlds from the clutches of evil time and time again.
Powers and abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics,

Longevity,
Extrasensory Perception & Automatic Translation (Senses what Waddle Dees say, who talk as per onomatopoeia),
Self-Sustenance (Doesn't need air),
Elasticity (Can stretch his body to enlarge it a bit and quickly recover from being crushed flat. Shown "ok" to twist his body several time),
Body Control (Can turn into a limbless ball and decrease his size by contracting his body),

They can also harm & freeze King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Waddle Dee, who can endure being sticked to Snow Bowl Kirby's Snow Bowl, which claims using "absolute zero" cold to do so),

Weaknesses: Naive outside of combat. Despite his age, Kirby's still young. Unlike fellow warriors in the series, outside of their adventures Kirby's lazy and always relaxes with mundane activities. His ability to rest is bestowed by the Fountain of Dreams, and if something were to happen to it everyone in Dreamland will eventually be restless and irritable. Often celebrates victory after notable battles, having been taken by surprise while doing so even at a point in time when he had the ability to sense his enemies.
Pac-Man (Mainly game, but compilation of all)

Song: Star Power
On the star-shaped planet of Popstar, within the territory of Dream Land, lived Kirby, a cute, round pink sphere with a perpetually cheerful countenance. One of his most beloved pastimes was indulging in his sweet tooth, and on this particular occasion, he had his sights set on a delectable strawberry cheesecake. It was, without a doubt, one of his absolute favorite cakes.
Kirby, bubbling with excitement, let out a cheerful "Poyo! Poyo!" His cheerful voice echoed in the air as he bounded up and down in anticipation. His eyes sparkled with anticipation, and his rosy cheeks bloomed with excitement as he eagerly prepared to savor the strawberry goodness awaiting him.
Kirby's cheerful demeanor was momentarily interrupted as he watched Pac-Man swiftly pass by and devour his strawberry cheesecake right before his eyes. The little pink sphere stood there in perplexed disbelief, his joyful face still present but with a tinge of confusion as he looked down at the now empty spot where his cake once sat. Pac-Man, the iconic yellow sphere, carried on with his typical routine of chomping up food, including the cake that Kirby had eagerly anticipated.
Once Kirby fully comprehended the situation, he cried out in sadness, mourning at the loss of his beloved cake. The loss of his beloved cake had crossed a line he was unwilling to tolerate, and he turned his attention to the mischievous Pac-Man. The little pink sphere firmly believed that nobody should be allowed to snatch away his treats and go unpunished.
Kirby, furious at the loss of his cake, wasted no time in retaliating. With a quick inhalation, he sucked in the chair and table he was about to use for his meal and then unleashed a basic star-shaped attack. The projectile struck Pac-Man forcefully, momentarily knocking the yellow sphere off balance.
Pac-Man, however, was quick to recover, sprouting arms and legs to maneuver. He adopted a carefree, happy-go-lucky expression, displaying little fear despite realizing he was now in a fight.
With a determined charge, Kirby stormed forward, only to be abruptly stopped when Pac-Man casually raised his foot enough to gently press it against Kirby's forehead. Pac-Man reacted with a perplexed smile, his eyes expressing amusement at this tiny, 8-inch, adorably angry pink sphere instigating a fight against something over six times its size. The contrast between Kirby's size and the sheer audacity of his feisty demeanor was confusing and somewhat endearing.
Kirby, still indignant and unsatisfied, unleashed his frustration by biting down on Pac-Man's foot. The yellow sphere seemed slightly taken aback by the unexpected assault but quickly retaliated with a series of kicks, dislodging Kirby. As Kirby rolled away to regain his bearings, he began to inhale forcefully, creating a vacuum that enveloped Pac-Man in a vortex. Despite Pac-Man's struggles, he found himself unable to break free, and was soon sucked into Kirby's mouth.
With a swift exhale, Kirby forcefully ejected Pac-Man from his mouth, propelling the yellow sphere into a nearby tree. Pac-Man staggered to his feet, slightly dazed and puzzled by the unexpected attack, wincing in mild discomfort. It quickly became apparent that despite Kirby's diminutive and unassuming appearance, he was not to be trifled with. The tiny, pink creampuff had revealed a surprising aptitude for putting up a fight.
As Kirby once again charged forward with a flying attack, Pac-Man decided to shed his playful attitude and get more serious. He retaliated with a swift 1-2 punch combo, swiftly following up with a backflip kick that successfully pushed Kirby back. The yellow sphere's movements were now laced with a hint of stern determination.
Kirby attempted to regain his footing, but Pac-Man's Butt-Bounce attack generated a shockwave that pushed the little pink sphere back again. Kirby, however, quickly recovered and spotted a nearby Sparky nearby. Without wasting a moment, Kirby inhaled the Sparky, absorbing its power. As Pac-Man prepared to execute another Butt-Bounce, his attack was abruptly thwarted by an electric force field that surrounded Kirby. The unexpected energy surge surprised Pac-Man, and he was forcefully zapped away by the electric barrier.
Pac-Man took a moment to shake off the effects of the electric shock he endured. He then produced a Steel Ball Power-Up and ate it, transforming his form into a solid metal exterior. With newfound resilience, Pac-Man sprang back into action and executed another Butt-Bounce attack. Kirby, attempting to use the electrified force field once more, found himself overwhelmed by the unexpected metallic mass of Pac-Man, who effortlessly squashed him under his weight.
After rising to his feet, Pac-Man spotted Kirby, who had been flattened into a concave half-sphere, perfectly matching the imprint left on the ground. With a mixture of curiosity and a hint of mockery, Pac-Man peeled Kirby out of the ground, and gave an amused finger-wagging gesture, the ever-present smile still gracing his face. Without further delay, Pac-Man delivered a forceful punch, launching Kirby further away.
Kirby gently drifted down to the ground, aided by the wind. His body quickly reshaped into its usual spherical form. Noticing a Hot Head nearby, Kirby promptly inhaled the creature, absorbing its fiery abilities. As Pac-Man began to charge forward, intending to press his advantage, Kirby reacted swiftly by spouting a torrent of fire. The scorching flames formed a barrier, effectively keeping Pac-Man at bay. Realizing that his temporary invulnerability wouldn't protect him from the intense heat forever, the yellow hero paused, wary of being burned once his metallic form wore off.
Once the Steel Ball power-up lost its effect, reverting Pac-Man back to his regular yellow state, he quickly retrieved a fire hydrant, utilizing it as a shield. Without delay, Pac-Man unleashed a torrent of water, effectively overpowering Kirby's fire blast and driving him back with the power of the water stream.
With rapid precision, Pac-Man tossed the fire hydrant directly at Kirby. The weighty impact caused the pink sphere to lose his newly acquired fire abilities, which were extinguished alongside the hydrant's thrown force. Despite the loss, Kirby was still being continuously battered by the forceful stream of water, as the fire hydrant continued to gush out its water supply.
Once the fire hydrant ran out of water, it crashed down heavily to the side. Pac-Man casually approached Kirby and lifted him up into the air. Pac-Man noted with some surprise that Kirby felt significantly heavier than before, and his form appeared to ripple like a water balloon. Unexpectedly, Kirby sported a mischievous smirk on his face, before sending Pac-Man flying backward with a powerful, concentrated blast of water. The force caused Pac-Man to slam into a nearby boulder, leaving him slightly disoriented.
Rising to his feet once again, Pac-Man retrieved a Ribbon Loop Power Pellet and consumed it. The act empowered him, causing him to glow with energy. Pac-Man proceeded to charge his Rev-Roll attack, gathering a massive amount of power. Once fully charged, Pac-Man accelerated into a frantic run, quickly circling around Kirby with his boosted strength.
Kirby curiously observed Pac-Man as he furiously ran around in a loop, wondering what the purpose of his repetitive movements might be. But then, a strange phenomenon unfolded. A rainbow loop materialized and locked onto Kirby, to his surprise. Caught in its grasp, Kirby was suddenly enveloped by an explosion and sent soaring into the air, crying out in shock.
As Kirby began his descent back towards the ground, Pac-Man swiftly dashed to the spot where the pink sphere was falling. In a swift motion, Pac-Man jumped into the air, extending his arm as he conjured Inky, the cyan ghost, who promptly rushed forward to deliver a powerful, ghostly bash. This collision sent Kirby hurtling even higher into the air.
With a deep inhale, Kirby manipulated his weight to become lighter than air, effortlessly lifting himself high above Pac-Man. Scanning the surroundings, Kirby zeroed in on a Waddle Doo nearby. He exhaled, descended toward the creature, and promptly consumed it. As a result, Kirby acquired a jester hat and a wand from the Waddle Doo's abilities. Without delay, Kirby directed an energy beam at Pac-Man. Although Pac-Man managed to elude the attack by darting away quickly.
Kirby continued to fire off energy beams, but Pac-Man demonstrated impressive speed and agility, easily dodging the repeated attacks as he moved in a looping pattern. However, Kirby displayed quick reflexes and managed to sidestep before the rainbow loop explosion could catch him. Pac-Man attempted to create another looping path, but Kirby had anticipated his strategy. The little pink sphere darted ahead of Pac-Man's path and delivered a precision shot, sending the yellow hero tumbling face-first into the ground with a hard thud.
Pac-Man grimaced as he pushed himself onto his hands and knees, spitting out a mixture of grass and soil he had accidentally ingested upon hitting the ground. His ribbon power-up had dissipated. With determination, Pac-Man pulled out another power pellet and consumed it, acquiring electro-shock abilities. Kirby fired another beam, but Pac-Man was quick to retaliate, unleashing a continuous bolt of lightning that overpowered Kirby's energy beam. The counterattack zapped and stunned Kirby.
As his energy beam abilities faded, Kirby let out a surprised cry. Pac-Man, seeing his opportunity, confidently moved closer. However, Kirby had other plans. He began inhaling once more, trying to draw Pac-Man into his powerful vortex. To prevent himself from being engulfed, Pac-Man acted swiftly, unleashing a forceful blast downwards, propelling himself upward and effectively escaping Kirby's inhaling grip.
Instead of Pac-Man getting caught in Kirby's vortex, a Flamer was accidentally sucked in, granting Kirby the Fireball ability. Kirby wasted no time, turning towards Pac-Man who fired another lightning bolt, launching himself forward like a blazing cannonball empowered by the fire attack. Kirby bulldozed through the lightning bolt, enduring the zap and delivering a scorching tackle that forcefully pushed Pac-Man back with a powerful impact.
With the heat intensifying, Pac-Man quickly deployed another fire hydrant, which ejected a forceful stream of water at Kirby. Despite being unfazed by the powerful torrent, Kirby was effectively hindered by the water due to his Fireball ability. As Pac-Man's electro-shock powers wore off, he swapped it for a Super Stomp Power Pellet, endowing him with incredible power in his feet.
As the intense heat from Kirby's fire clashed with the stream of water, a thick veil of steam began to form, clouding the surroundings. Undeterred, Pac-Man leaped over the steam-filled area, with Kirby swiftly ascending alongside him using his fireball ability. However, Pac-Man remained unfazed, skillfully kicking the flaming pink sphere back to the ground. With tremendous power, Pac-Man poised himself for an earth-shattering stomp, prepared to bring the full weight of his Super Stomp power into play.
Pac-Man forcefully stomped onto the ground, unleashing a powerful shockwave that dispersed the thick veil of steam, sending debris and fragments of earth flying through the air. Several fragments smacked against Kirby with such force that it immediately disabled his fireball ability, propelling him backward and leaving him momentarily stunned.
Seizing the moment, Pac-Man quickly grabbed a Smash Ball and forcefully shattered it in his hand. Immediately empowered by the surge of energy, Pac-Man's form dramatically expanded in size, reverting to his sleek and classic silhouette. Empowered with newfound might, he charged forward with full force toward Kirby. With Kirby still disoriented, the little pink sphere was unable to evade the incoming attack in time. Caught in Pac-Man's jaws, his malleable body prevented serious injury, yet the forceful chomps still inflicted significant pain upon him.
Pac-Man, having momentarily chewed on Kirby like a piece of gum, eventually spat him out into the air. Once the Smash effect wore off and he returned to his smaller stature, complete with limbs and a gleeful face, Pac-Man began to catch his breath. Meanwhile, Kirby swiftly summoned a Warp Star beneath him, allowing him to ascend and soar through the skies while searching for new power-ups to enhance his abilities.
Witnessing Kirby's attempt to distance himself by taking to the air, Pac-Man reacted quickly. He gobbled down two power-ups: a Power Pellet that granted him the ability to fly, followed by a Minty Breath Berry, which endowed him with icy powers, transforming his form into a blue, icy state. Driven by determination, Pac-Man followed suit and took to the skies, intent on pursuing Kirby with his newfound floating abilities.
As Kirby soared through the air on his Warp Star, he searched for fresh adversaries to inhale in order to gain their powers. However, he suddenly noticed a shower of snowballs falling around him. Turning his attention backward, Kirby spotted Pac-Man in pursuit, launching the icy projectiles from his transformed tongue, which now acted as an ice-powered nozzle.
Kirby quickly gobbled up any close-range snowballs, transforming them into stars before firing them back at Pac-Man. However, the yellow hero proved agile, skillfully dodging through the barrage of stars without succumbing to a direct hit. Intending to encroach on Kirby's proximity to execute his plan, Pac-Man cautiously maneuvered closer, summoning Blinky, the red ghost, to precede his path. Kirby, ever the opportunist, promptly consumed the ghost. However, unbeknownst to Kirby, that was precisely what Pac-Man had anticipated. With calculated precision, Pac-Man unleashed a potent, point-blank ice blast upon the unsuspecting pink sphere.
The result? An immobilized Kirby, transformed into a frozen popsicle, now careening toward the ground after being kicked off his Warp Star.
With a resounding impact, Kirby hit the ground, the shattered ice fragments scattering around him. He groaned dizzily, still trying to regain his bearings. After a moment, he managed to stand up, ridding himself of the disorientation and shaking off the residual pain. Then, in a surprising turn of events, Kirby emitted a burp, spitting out a pair of floating eyes. A manifestation of Blinky himself.
Blinky's detached eyes hovered upward, fixing a stern gaze upon Pac-Man, their glare full of resentment, especially considering Blinky's frequent ordeal of being gobbled up by him.Feeling a mix of culpability and amusement, Pac-Man responded with an awkward, apologetic smile, unable to prevent the situation. Meanwhile, Blinky's eyes departed, disappearing into the distance.
Kirby's gaze darted around his surroundings until he caught sight of a Sword Knight. With his characteristic inhale, Kirby absorbed the enemy, acquiring the knight's green hat and formidable sword. Pac-Man gently touched down on the ground, but his moment of respite was swift to pass. Kirby was quick to act, raining down a series of fast sword slashes onto Pac-Man, systematically slicing away at the layers of his icy armor, thus effectively eradicating the icy power-up.
Retreating a few steps to avoid further injury, Pac-Man swiftly munched on another power-up berry. Anticipating the second onslaught, Kirby lunged forward with a sword swing. However, this time, he met with formidable resistance as his sword clashed against the hard, metallic exterior of Pac-Man, who had consumed a Titanium Berry, transforming him into a solid titanium form.
With newfound strength, Pac-Man effortlessly lifted Kirby off the ground and hurled him a considerable distance away, causing the little pink ball to roll for a while before regaining his footing. To add insult to injury, Pac-Man's protruding tongue adorned a horseshoe magnet at its tip, steadily drawing in Kirby's sword. The pink puffball attempted to hold onto his weapon, but the magnetic force was too overpowering, and he lost his grip on it. Pac-Man swiftly caught the sword, now claiming possession of the weapon.
Chuckling in anticipation, Pac-Man shattered the sword, before preparing a powerful Rev-Roll attack. Kirby, reacting quickly, decided to prematurely end his sword transformation, instead choosing to consume a nearby Wheelie to acquire its rotating wheel ability. Tremendous speed coursed through Kirby's small body as he spun energetically, producing plumes of smoke from the friction. Kirby's top speed matched Pac-Man's, and the two collided head-on in a spectacular high-velocity impact.
Due to his greater mass and density, Pac-Man's titanium form proved superior in the collision, overpowering Kirby's wheel ability in the process. As a result, Kirby was forcibly hurled upward in a daze, losing his rotating wheel powers. He then crash-landed on the ground, temporarily disoriented by the intense impact.
Regaining his composure after the hard impact, Kirby noticed a Knuckle Joe nearby and quickly inhaled him, absorbing his martial arts skills. Sensing an attack from behind, Kirby swiftly turned around, seizing Pac-Man's arm and skillfully flipping him over his shoulder, leveraging Pac-Man's heavier metallic weight and momentum against him.
Initially caught off-guard by the unexpected flip, Pac-Man quickly gathered himself. However, before he could fully recover, he spotted Kirby preparing a powerful karate chop. In a desperate attempt to withstand the incoming attack, Pac-Man tried to block the hit. When the hit connected, the planet they were on, Popstar, cracked in half. This was despite there being a giant bandage over the last planetary crack that Kirby inflicted on the planet.
Temporarily knocked out from the intense collision, Pac-Man plunged through Popstar's outer layers and found himself amidst the volatile mantle. Although he eventually managed to regain consciousness, the realization of his precarious situation swiftly hit him, the titanium power-up having been surpassed by Kirby's attack. As Pac-Man quickly snapped back to his senses, he spotted Kirby hurtling towards him on the Warp Star. Hastily gorging on yet another power-up berry, this time a Kung Fu Berry, Pac-Man absorbed the martial arts skills and squared off against Kirby in an underground fisticuffs exchange.
As Kirby and Pac-Man continued their fierce battle, plunging through Popstar's core, they displayed remarkable intensity, exchanging powerful martial punches and kicks. The impact of their blows reverberated through the very heart of the star-shaped planet, causing it to shudder and quake. Their unstoppable momentum propelled them rapidly towards the other end of the chasm, created by their prior clash.
Following their high-velocity burst out of the chasm and into the sky, Kirby and Pac-Man delivered simultaneous punches, resulting in a cross counter that sent them hurtling away from each other. The force of the collision caused Kirby to lose his martial skills, leaving him in a free fall. In a remarkable feat, Kirby quickly focused on an approaching UFO enemy, swiftly devouring it and transforming into a small pink UFO himself.
Pac-Man, determined to match Kirby's impressive aerial capabilities, chomped down on a Rocket Berry, instantly equipping himself with rocket thrusters on his legs and a stylish cape. With increased propulsion, the two adversaries ascended into the stratosphere, engaging in a high-flying battle. Pac-Man attempted numerous assaults on the elusive pink UFO, but Kirby's superior aerial maneuvering skills thwarted Pac-Man's every attempt. The UFO adeptly evaded close attacks while also blasting Pac-Man away each time he closed the distance.
Pac-Man, visibly vexed by Kirby's resilient resistance, chose to consume a final power berry and vanish into the vastness of outer space. Confused by Pac-Man's retreat, Kirby stood perplexed, only to suddenly notice a colossal shadow descending upon him and the planet Pop Star. Astonished, Kirby observed Pac-Man's massive transformation into a planet-sized version of himself, comparable in size to Mercury. With an imposing grin, Pac-Man loomed over Kirby, who was so terrified he involuntarily abandoned his UFO form.
Desperate to escape, Kirby called forth his Warp Star and fled the colossal Pac-Man. Alongside his escape, Kirby attempted to launch star-shaped attacks using the space debris he had inhaled, but the projectiles proved useless against the enormous hero. Pac-Man relentlessly pursued Kirby through the entire solar system, his gravitational pull drawing in anything that managed to enter his atmosphere.
Recognizing the futility of fleeing or directly engaging Pac-Man by normal means, Kirby adopted a solemn expression. He made the bold decision to fly straight at the enormous hero, preparing a plan for the confrontation. Pac-Man, confident in his imminent victory, opened his vast maw, effortlessly swallowing Kirby whole. Triumphant, Pac-Man's gleeful grin symbolized his perceived victory.
Pac-Man's expression suddenly darkened as an intense internal pressure began to build in his planet-like form. Despite his massive strength, there was nothing the hero could do to prevent what was happening from within. The surface of Pac-Man's planetic body started to cave in, causing forests to be crushed, oceans to drain into suddenly appearing crevices, and mountains to collapse under an artificially heightened gravitational force.
Pac-Man let out a desperate bellow into the vast coldness of outer space, his entire planetary form succumbing to the unyielding pressure. By consuming the Hypernova fruit, Kirby gained the power to inhale Pac-Man from the inside. With a tremendous heave, Kirby spewed out his adversary, sending Pac-Man hurtling back towards Popstar, precisely on the opposite end of the solar system where their battle had begun.
Crash landing into Dream Land, Pac-Man's impact created a city-sized explosion, the force sending tremors through the planet's surface. Thud! Pac-Man landed on the ground nearby, his limbs gone, scorched and battered from the explosion. Gradually shrinking, the hero morphed into his trademark featureless silhouette, shrinking further and further until he vanished, accompanied by the distinct beeps signifying his usual game-over scenario.
Kirby floated down towards Dream Land, gracefully dismounting from his Warp Star. He then begun his typical dance routine, his cheerful face adorned with joyful expressions. As he spun and bounced around, he concluded his performance with a dramatic finishing pose, exclaiming enthusiastically,
"Hiiiiee!"
Strength: Pac-Man is more powerful than the classic arcade game may lead you to believe. He could survive and damage the ghost called Spooky, who could conjure a 133 MT storm, and using non-canon material, could scale to small planet level, which would require 2.4 Zettatons of TNT to destroy. However, Kirby is capable of punching a complete crack into Popstar, similar to the size of Earth. According to Death Battle, he can punch with the force of 1.9 octillion tons of TNT. That makes Kirby 791,666X stronger than Pac-Man, and could easily crack the yella fella's planet form in half. Even if his planet form was upscaled to Earth, that'd still be almost 40,000X weaker than Kirby.
Speed: Pac-Man is fast enough to travel across the entirety of the planet's circumference in 3.5 seconds, placing him around 3% the speed of light. However, not only does Kirby's Ward Star let him travel at the speed of light, but exponentially beyond. About 8.3 trillion times faster in fact. Which is nearly 25 trillion times faster.
Skill: Both are incredibly skilled at what they do. They're capable of defeating the most dangerous foes of their worlds, and don't seem particularly unskilled in the arts of combat one way or the other.
Experience: However, Pac-Man typically goes up against ghosts, and other ghost type phenomena. Kirby is able to go up against physical gods, with power that rivals his own. Exponentially more powerful than Pac-Man has ever gone up against.
Powers: Both combatants we're nearly even, each having a source that gave them either the exact kind of powers, or had something to counter what the other didn't. However, Kirby still had to more than enough different kind of power ups on his own that would slowly but eventually overwhelm Pac-Man's own versatile power set. Especially Hypernova Kirby, which could swallow anything Pac-Man threw at him.
The winner is Kirby.
