Reason: A list of kirby_(series) implications for all the Dream Friend characters, plus a few others I thought would be relevant to what I usually upload. Apologies in advance for any mistakes I may have made.

I excluded a couple characters from this list since I included them in this BUR. An approval on that one would be much appreciated.

I'm not sure about having wholey separate tags for Revenge/DX/EX bosses like queen_sectonia_dx, that seems weird to me since most of the time their designs are just recolours.

Fair. The only exception I can think of would be the Phantom bosses from Kirby and the Forgotten Land, since those are explicitly separate from their regular counterparts.

I've decided to completely rework this list to implicate characters to their game of origin instead of the series as a whole. Here's my reasoning:

Most modern Kirby characters stay in the game they were introduced in. If they ever appear elsewhere, it's usually as a cameo or within spinoffs, neither of which is enough to overshadow their original game, in my opinion. The only exception to this is kirby_star_allies, which reintroduces several characters as playable "Dream Friends". Nevertheless, Star Allies is treated as a celebration of the Kirby series as a whole, and the character's movesets, themes and special stages are all based upon their debut games above all else. Thus, the listed characters more often represent their debut game than they do the series as a whole.

There are a handful of instances where a character returns in a later game outside of Star Allies. Again, it's always in representation of the series they came from. For example, dark_meta_knight appears as a bonus boss in kirby:_triple_deluxe, but his reappearance brings with it heavy plot elements of kirby_and_the_amazing_mirror with him, to the point where he is fought in the exact same location as he was last time, complete with a remix of his theme.
