Video game crossovers are becoming more popular than ever, with games like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate having a fighter list from all over the gaming world, including the likes of Snake, Cloud, and Simon Belmont. But a recent collaboration that includes a character from Smash Bros. was just revealed, and it is both surprising and perfect.
MOS Burger is an international fast-food restaurant that is headquartered in Japan. Its menu includes everything from a traditional cheeseburger to rice burgers to roast beef sandwiches to burgers with eggs and bacon. All the items most likely sound delicious to one specific pink video game icon; Kirby (who recently a brand new title called Kirby Fighters 2 added to the Switch).
Recently it was revealed that MOS Burger and Kirby were collaborating together in Japan. The result of said collaboration is that Kirby is now on every single piece of packaging in the fast-food restaurant, and it looks wonderful.
@MOS_Burger on Twitter released an image of the packaging, and others on Twitter followed suit. Kirby is found on the placemats, the napkins, the burger wrappers, and more. He is usually seen sucking up all of the food, much like he does in his video games. Although the Lemon Lemon Lemon sticker of Kirby on a cup probably won't find its way onto the Kirby artbook that is releasing next year, the designs are delightful.
The collaboration may seem a bit random, but Kirby seems like a perfect fit in a fast-food restaurant. Perhaps no one will ever know if Nintendo will benefit with more Kirby sales or if MOS Burger will suddenly see a rush of Nintendo fans, but it's very amusing to see the pink puffball on a burger bag.
