One of the new mechanics introduced in the game is Mouthful Mode, in which Kirby consumes many of the various equipment around him to use in a variety of ways. After this mechanic was introduced, it went viral online, leading toseveral memes surrounding Kirby’s abilityto swallow any item in sight and use to his advantage. And with the popularity surrounding this mechanic, it would only be a matter of time until new fan made works came from this development.
YouTuber North of the Border, famous for creating various Nintendo and other video game characters from clay, took to creating a clay model version ofKirby’s Car Mode fromForgotten Landto impressive results. After he created the video showcasing this work of art, the artist went onto create more clay model figures of Kirby’s other Mouthful Mode abilities, such as a traffic cone, water ballon, light bulb, and more.
All of these creations are extremely impressive, with incredible detail put into each model, from having Kirby spit out water while in his ballon form, to creating intricately crafted soda cans that shoot out of Kirby’s vending machine form. Nintendo fans always have such attention to detail, such as when a fan craftedLink’s house fromBreath of the Wild.
Overall, this is an incredible achievement from North of the Border, and only fuels more hype forKirby and the Forgotten Land. It will be interesting to see what this craftsman goes onto create next, and if there are any otherabilities inKirby and theForgotten Landthat they can create in the future.
