The Kirby Franchise has had a variety of Games across its lifetime and most tend to conform to a trend set in the second main Series Kirby Game, Kirby's Adventure for the NES. Most Kirby Games feature Kirby running through Dreamland or one of its neighbouring celestial bodies to undo the damage done by an individual, group of individuals or army.(AKA King Dedede)

There have been various Spin-Offs appearing in the Kirby Series; although most appeared during the early years of the series, three of the better known Spin-Offs; Kirby Air Ride, Kirby's Epic Yarn and the Curse Games have been more recent.
