Only Kirby could make devouring someone look cute.

Nintendo’s pink puffball has starred in some fantastic games, and artist Abba Jackson (check out her site here) has celebrated many of them with fanciful animations. Each one captures the spirit of the game it’s representing in just a few seconds

And don’t forget the time Kirby starred in his own racing game on the GameCube, Kirby Air Ride.
