Kirby: Right Back at Ya! (Hoshi no Kirby in Japan) is an anime series based on Nintendo's Kirby franchise. It was made by Warpstar Inc., which was formed from a joint investment between Nintendo and HAL Laboratory, Inc. The show ran for 100 episodes from 2001 to 2003 and aired on Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting before before being re-aired by 4Kids in the United States.
Kirby, a young Star Warrior, crash lands near Cappy Town in Dream Land. There he becomes friends with Tiff, Tuff, and the other residents. The self-proclaimed monarch of Dream Land, King Dedede, doesn't particularly like Kirby so he frequently plans to get rid of him. He does this by ordering monsters from Nightmare Enterprises and sending them after the pink puffball. The show takes a monster of the week format where Kirby needs to defeat each monster and eventually, Nightmare himself.
