Kid Kirby [SNES - Cancelled]

Kid Kirby was meant to be a “prequel” of the serie, a platform game with a younger Kirby (with hair?) that was in development at DMA Design, the makers of Uniracers, Silicon Valley and Lemmings. A little image from this game was already seen in an old magazine, but only recently we found more concepts from the project, thanks to a flickr account from an ex-DMA developer. From an article on Gamasutra we read that Kid Kirby “was to be a showcase for the SNES mouse, but the mouse did not sell that well and the game was not great when played with a joypad, so it never saw the light of day”.
You can find more about the Kirby series in the WiKirby!

Whoa….this actually seems like a logical thing to do with Kirby…back in the 90′s companies where often making T.V. show characters into kids. They had, Scooby Doo, Flintstones, Tom and Jerry, all into a “kid” style…

Whoa, never heard of this before looks pretty interesting, though the Tintin-Kirby looks kinda weird.

The first and fifth picture looks really good. Don’t know if it’s in-game though.

Wait..Kirby’s a baby so..He’s..Huh?
He’s from the past, right? So, this was before he came to the future?

Going by the sprites I would say that it’s likely this concept evolved into Kirby Tilt N’ Tumble.
The main difference being that it seems you would “flick” Kirby around the levels with the mouse. I can imagine this sort of thing being on the DS quite easily.
Mind you this is just going by what little sprites and maps we have here.

Yeah, I really wish they made a DS game like this but this original SNES game was cancelled. Aw, poor kid Kirby.
