Joe as he appears inKirby: Right Back at Ya!.

Joe makes several cameo appearances in theKirby: Right Back at Ya! series. Here, he is much larger than his video game counterpart, and antagonizesKing Dedede andEscargoon whenever they set out to sea to cause trouble. Joe is a friend ofKine the sunfish, and helps him defend various ocean monuments, such as the Rainbow Coral Reef.

Joe first appears inA Fish Called Kine, where he exacts revenge on King Dedede and Escargoon for trying to bulldoze the Rainbow Coral Reef. A group of Joes appears inIsland of the Lost Warrior to chase King Dedede and Escargoon off after their monsterTornadon is defeated byKirby. InBuccaneer Birdy, Joe appears one final time to prevent King Dedede and Escargoon from getting away withCaptain Kick's treasure.

Trivia[edit]

• Joe's artwork forKirby's Dream Land 3 clearly depicts it with a metal propeller tail, but its appearance in-game instead depicts it with a propeller colored the same as the rest of its body, making it unclear whether or not its actually metal. The reason for this is unknown.
