Kirby Relay Races

The Kirby Series Title Speedrun Relay (shortened to "Kirby Relay") is a yearly event where the community competes in a relay race through several Kirby games. These races are typically split between Japan and Western teams (though "Western" teams typically have representatives from all over the world).

K-Star 2024

 
K-Star 2024 Logo

K-Star 2024 is the 6th annual relay race held for the Kirby series.

This relay race took place on April 28, 2024, and was the first relay to:

  • omit "Kirby" in its relay title.
  • feature a world record run during the relay itself, that being Kirby 64 100% by Curtissimo.

Notable Moments

Western A and B Waddle Dee Solidarity

During Kirby's Epic Yarn, GlitchAston added an image of yarn Waddle Dee to their layout repeatedly as they played through the game. MantaPlant, who is directly next to Aston in the stream layout, added an image of the same Waddle Dee to their layout to connect their layouts together.

This is one of the most wholesome moments in Kirby speedrunning history.

Kirby Series Relay 2023

 
Kirby Series Relay 2023 Logo

Kirby Relay 2023 is the 5th annual relay race held for the Kirby series.

Relay 2023 took place on April 22, 2023, and was the first relay to:

  • introduce a third Japan team, rather than the usual two.
  • include two separate categories for a single game, that being Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
  • include an individual level of a game, that being Kirby Super Star Ultra's Great Cave Offensive.
  • be named by year, rather than by number like the previous relay races.

Kirby's Dream Collection All Classic Titles

Each year, the Kirby community holds a race which consists of playing through all the Classic Titles of Kirby's Dream Collection.

For Kirby's Adventure, any category, except for credits warp, can be played as long as the game is beaten.
