Collaboration & Merchandise Showcase
A Delicious Collaboration at FamilyMart!
Get ready, Kirby fans! A special collaboration event, dubbed “Kirby-tachi no Chou Manzoku Fes” (Kirby’s Super Satisfying Festival), is set to launch nationwide at approximately 16,300 FamilyMart stores starting November 11, 2025. This delightful festival celebrates the release of the brand-new game, Kirby no Air Rider, for Nintendo Switch 2, bringing a total of seven delectable items inspired by everyone’s favorite gourmet, Kirby!
Dive into the Skies with Kirby no Air Rider
Kirby no Air Rider is the latest installment in the beloved Hoshi no Kirby series, developed by HAL Laboratory and Nintendo, and published by Nintendo. This exciting ride-action game offers easy-to-learn controls blended with strategic elements, allowing players to freely combine various riders and unique machines to compete in thrilling races.
This new title serves as a modern successor to the exhilarating action-racing game, Kirby no Air Ride, which was originally released on the Nintendo GameCube in 2003 and was loved for its simple yet satisfying gameplay. Players can look forward to unpredictable battles in “City Trial,” set on the sky island “Skya,” as well as action-packed races in “Air Ride” across a diverse range of courses.
Indulge in Kirby-Themed Treats!
To commemorate the game’s launch, the “Kirby-tachi no Chou Manzoku Fes” introduces seven unique items, each lovingly designed with the popular, food-loving Kirby in mind. Let’s take a closer look at these tempting treats:
First up is the Kirby no Suikomi Nama Hamu Sushi. This creative sushi dish is inspired by Kirby’s signature inhaling ability, imagining Kirby “inhaling” delectable prosciutto!
Next, we have the Kirby no Funwari Tamago no Warp Star Roll, a delightful roll bun that captures the whimsical world of Kirby. It features fluffy omelet, scrambled eggs, ham, and tomato sauce, all wrapped together. The star-shaped cheese, reminiscent of the iconic Warp Star, is a charming touch. This item comes in two different package designs.
For those with a sweet tooth, the Kuishinbou Kirby no Ringo Mushipan (Gluttonous Kirby’s Apple Steamed Bread) is a must-try! This steamed bread is infused with Kirby’s favorite apple flavor. The bottom is generously layered with diced apples, and the surface features an adorable baked-on image of Kirby’s face, making it almost too cute to eat.
Accompanying the treats is the Shuwa Moko! Kirby no Ringo Jelly Drink, another apple-flavored delight that’s fizzy and fluffy. This refreshing jelly drink also comes in three charming package designs.
Prepare for cuteness overload with Tabemasu Motchi Hoshi no Kirby. “Tabemasu” is a portmanteau for “edible mascot,” and these character wagashi (Japanese confectionery) feature a custard-flavored Kirby and a caramel-flavored Waddle Dee. With four different expressions for each character, you can enjoy a whopping 16 adorable combinations!
For a savory option, the Kirby no Kinoko Creamy Soup is a rich, mushroom-flavored creamy soup made with mushroom and shiitake extract powders. It comes with delightful star-shaped kamaboko, shiitake mushrooms, and parsley toppings, adding a touch of Kirby’s world to every spoonful.
Finally, there’s the Hoshi no Kirby Creamy Tomato Aji Noodle. This noodle dish combines springy, wavy noodles with a creamy, tomato and chicken-based soup. Like the soup, it also includes star-shaped kamaboko, alongside fresh tomatoes and cabbage toppings.
Don’t Miss Out!
The “Kirby-tachi no Chou Manzoku Fes” collaboration, featuring all seven items inspired by the beloved gourmet Kirby from the Hoshi no Kirby game series, will be held from November 11, 2025, at approximately 16,300 FamilyMart stores across Japan.
