Kirby, as an iconic character, has completed 30 years and Nintendo added a ‘throwback’ touch to the celebration. The mind behind the adorable pink puffball has just uploaded a beautiful medley for enthusiasts. In fact, the medley was first created when Kirby hit 25 years! However, the soundtrack has a limited life span on the internet, according to its touchy owners.
As fans know, Nintendo has always been sensitive about its soundtracks. They make beautiful music, but they don’t want anyone to share such tracks on YouTube or anywhere, for that matter.

Nintendo doesn’t even have a free music channel or service that fans can subscribe to. However, fans can buy the tracks from Kirby’s 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert on Amazon Music.
Kirby’s life started back in 1992 when the puffball appeared in its first video game, Kirby’s Dream Land. The title was exclusively available on GameBoy. Following its success, Nintendo went on to create more of Kirby and made a huge franchise of it. There are also iconic characters who share Kirby’s spotlight, namely Waddle Dee, Meta Knight, and King Dedede, who is the main antagonist.
Kirby Super Star Medley is available on YouTube for a limited time, says Nintendo
Nintendo had hosted a very special Orchestra Concert to mark Kirby’s 25th anniversary back in 2017. The concert featured 14 beautiful tracks, each of them paying tribute to the adorable puffball. Kirby’s achievement is quite notable as it continues to entertain Nintendo fans even today!
To celebrate Kirby’s 30th anniversary, Nintendo uploaded one of the best medleys from the concert on their YouTube channel. The medley is a tribute to the Kirby Super Star pack that included 6 games on NES. According to Nintendo, the soundtrack will be a treat to anyone who has had the chance to indulge in any of the 6 games. But, it will only be available on YouTube until the end of the present fiscal year.

However, Nintendo isn’t supportive of giving out their music for free. The company is infamous for slamming copyright strikes on anyone who tries to re-upload their tracks on online services. It’s just how some companies choose to operate!
