10 Early Versions Of Iconic Video Game Characters You Won't Believe
9. White Kirby
Due to a disagreement between Sakurai and Miyamoto, Kirby was originally depicted as white instead of pink on the box art of Kirby's Dream Land for the Gameboy. By all accounts, Sakurai intended Kirby to be pink, whereas Miyamoto insisted the character be yellow.
As a kind of compromise, the box art depicts Kirby as white to reflect the way he appears in the game. Fortunately for us Kirby fans, the character was eventually given some personality and altered from white to pink.
Considering that white Kirby just looked like a Boo from Mario, the change was certainly welcome. I mean, whod want to live in a world without pink Kirby?
