Hey guys! Gerawallstar here. I am here to review my favorite childhood show Kirby Right Back at ya! I remember watching this show every saturday morning. I reviewed the worst episodes of the show already. However, there are a lot of episodes of the show that are outstanding, memorable and funny. Without further ado, this is top 10 best Kirby Right Back at ya episodes.
- A Sunsational Surprise
This episode is very interesting. It does a decent job tackling themes i.e. Global Warning/Ozone Layers. I also loved the climax where Kirby had to be strategic and use more than one copy ability to defeat the monster. The reason why this episode is so low is because the design of the monster is awfully dated which I understand can make some viewers tune off watching this episode. Second, Lady Like was so underutilized in this episode considering that this is somewhat an episode dedicated to her. The episode is on the list in the first place is because of the amazing climax.
- Teacher’s Threat
Out of all the school episodes in the school trilogy, this is the best one. I love Mr. Chip as a teacher. He is an amazing role model, and I love his backstory of him used to work with Nightmare Enterprises. its amazing seeing characters having tragic backstories of having to work in evil corporation Nightmare Enterprises Seeing King Dedede act so dumb not only uses great comedy but it also establishes more of his childlike, and arrogant personality.
- Kirby comes to Cappytown
I always thought of this episode as a perfect introduction to Kirby, and the characters. The story is so engaging, and intriguing. The action sequence is so cool. I get chills watching Fire Kirby fight against the Octagon monster. This is a perfect start to the series.
- The Big taste test/Delivery Dilemma
Warning: Theses episodes might make you go hungry. My favorite episodes of the show are the Chef Kawasaki episodes, and I decided to put both of these episodes in because they are both very strong episodes. The big taste test focuses on Chef Kawasaki as the villain as opposed to be the good guy supporting character. The episode does a good job making Chef Kawasaki antagonistic like he was in the games. Delivery Dilemma is a fun filler episode that does a unique take on the kids and Kawasaki doing food deliveries. Kirby resisting food that he must deliver was so funny and well-written. Watch these episodes.
- Prediction Predicament Parts 1 and 2
Both two-part episodes are excellent in terms of story and characters. Seeing the Cappytown residents accept their fate as both them and the town are about to perish in a volcano is dark for a kid show. I loved how the episodes develops and establishes King Dedede, Mabel and even the villain Nightmare when he is shown as a legit threat causing destruction to the town. Two of these episodes are fantastic in driving the story forward, bringing kids intense action and being character driven.
- Kirby’s Pet Peeve
This is the emotional episode you will ever see in this show. I loved how this episode uses Kirby and Robot Dog interacting with each other. Them not being able to communicate brings a great usage of “show don’t tell” approach in the narrative. The scene where Robot Dog dies is very sad. I cried when I saw Robot Dog die sacrificing himself to not maim Kirby. This serve as a well-written episode, and a tear-jerker.
- Cartoon Buffon
This episode provides amazing commentary on how animators work in anime. I love how the episode goes further in delivering clever lines, showcasing accurate depictions of working in the animation industry, and in making relatable moments i.e. animators making the deadlines/paying for money loss on bad products. This episode will give you an insight on what working in animation is. I recommend this episode if you are curious about going into the animation industry.
The Star Warrior Episodes
- Masher 2.0
Kirby’s star warrior episodes are the best ones in this show, and this episode proves it. Masher is the only time where a monster returns in the show, and he is more bigger, and powerful. All of this makes this monster much better than before. Knuckle Joe using the medallion that his father gave him to destroy Masher was intense. The climax was brilliant. I love this episode so much. It gives closure to the Knuckle Joe episodes.
- Crusade for the Blade
This episode is fantastic. I loved the backstory/lore of Meta Knight’s Sword, Galaxia. The battle between the monster and Kirby/Sirica was awesome. Even Sirica as a character is awesome that I wished that we got more episodes from her. This episode gives more detail into Meta Knight’s past. I love this episode.
- Hour of the Wolfwrath
This is the best episode of the entire series. I loved the whole backstories of Sword Knight and Blade Knight. It gives them more character than being just Meta Knight’s allies. Wolfwrath is a threatening monster, and the best monster in the show. In fact, I prefer his name Wolfwrath in the English dub better than in the Japanese version. Wolfwrath is a threatening name than the silly Japanese name, Chillidog. This is also the ONLY time I recommend watching this episode in English dub. They improved a lot of elements from the Japanese version. The fight between Sword, Blade, Galaxia Kirby and Wolfwrath is awesome. This is the best episode of the show. The filler episodes give a nice laidback slice of life feel. However, it is the star warrior episodes like this that are the most impactful from the series. I recommend everyone to watch this episode, even if you are not a fan of the show.
