(DISCLAIMER: I know this was referred to by TWBB and other webcomics years ago. Shut up. I don't care.)
So I went and got ("Went" meaning sat perfectly still while I ordered it on Amazon) Kirby's Dream Collection, to revisit all the Kirby games I played growing up, and even some I missed, like Kirby 3 on SNES. But not only was Kirby doing stuff I haven't seen him do in over a decade in the game, but I also saw something I haven't seen him do in over a decade in the box:
Smile.
Damn near every Kirby Game since 2001 has been altered from its Japanese version to have Kirby looking like you like he just caught you using his toothbrush. Super Star Ultra on the DS is the only one who dared break the trend, and now this new collection.

I remember when Ratchet from the Ratchet and Clank series was given bizarre bushy eyebrows in the Japanese version of the games. I didn't know they changed Kirby in the U.S! Probably to make kids feel less ashamed when they have an angry pink puffball instead of a happy pink puffball.
