This article is about the characters fromKirby: Right Back at Ya!. For their appearance in the video game series, seeLololo & Lalala.

Fololo & Falala are characters fromKirby: Right Back at Ya!. They reside inCastle Dedede alongside the family ofSir Ebrum,Lady Like,Tiff, andTuff, and help with housework. They are small flying tear-drop shaped creatures who appear to be twins who never leave each-others' company, and whose origin is not revealed until the episodeThe Fofa Factor, where they are shown to have originated from amonster namedFofa. Despite the classification, Fololo and Falala are not hostile, and no longer have any affiliation withNight Mare Enterprises.

Personalities[edit]

Due to their nature and origin, Fololo & Falala both have largely the same personality. They are always willing to helpKirby,Tiff, and her family whenever possible, often serving as scouts or lookouts due to their abilities. They can also sometimes be seen assisting the people ofCappy Town, including serving food atKawasaki's. Although their ages are not clear, Fololo & Falala affiliate with the children of Dream Land. Despite their size and relative inability to fight, Fololo & Falala are quite brave and headstrong, and will gladly venture into danger in order to protect somebody else. They are also relatively smart, and often collaborate with Tiff on ideas and suggestions.

Fololo & Falala typically refuse to split up, despite being completely separate physically. This is due to their origin as the single entity of Fofa, which they have no memory of. InThe Fofa Factor, they are given the opportunity to reunite into a single creature again, but give it up in order to restore a similarly-divided Kirby to his whole self instead.

Relationships[edit]

Fololo & Falala do not interact very much with the people ofCappy Town, but they are very close to many members of the court atCastle Dedede. The following are their most notable relationships:

• Kirby - Fololo & Falala have a very amicable relationship with Kirby, and appear to have taken on this like of him almost straight away. Kirby in turn enjoys their company, and can sometimes be seen flying around with them.
• Tiff and her family - Fololo & Falala serve officially as servants to Tiff and her family and have done so since Tiff was a baby. In return for their obligation, Fololo & Falala are treated as part of the family, and share the same living space as them.
• King Dedede andEscargoon - Fololo & Falala do not hide their disdain for King Dedede and Escargoon, despite officially serving under them. Escargoon, however, sometimes recruits them to help him with his revenge schemes against King Dedede.

Role inKirby: Right Back at Ya![edit]

Fololo & Falala have an overall incidental and lopsided presence inKirby: Right Back at Ya!. Whenever they are available, they will do whatever they can to help Tiff and Kirby, as they personally have no fondness whatsoever of King Dedede. They often help by using their power of flight to scout around for their friends, or help carry things. They are not so great for fighting, however, but they show a considerable amount of bravery despite this fact. Their most stand-out roles include their defiance ofSlice n' Splice inThe Fofa Factor, their accompaniment of Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff inIsland of the Lost Warrior, and their accompaniment of Tuff inFlower Power. As the show progresses, Fololo & Falala appear less and less often overall. Notably, in the episodeCappy Town Down, they are seen pledging to come withMeta Knight and his crew aboard theHalberd to attackeNeMeE's Fortress, but despite this, and even being on board when the Halberd first rises into the air, they ultimately are not present in the crew after this point for reasons unknown and are instead seen with those who stayed behind duringFright to the Finish, possibly as a result of a continuity error on the part of the show's developers.

Trivia[edit]

• In the Japanese and Chinese versions of the show, Fololo & Falala's flying is often signified by a falling-pitch whistle-like sound effect, reminiscent of the generic sound used for something falling in a cartoon, though somewhat gentler. Most international versions also feature this sound from time to time, though not as often as the Japanese or Chinese versions.
