At the end of the later episodes of the Japanese version ofKirby: Right Back at Ya! exclusively, severalending skits play, starting with Episode 72:Waddle While You Work, and ending with Episode 100:Fright to the Finish. These skits last roughly two to five seconds and play right after the end of the episode, but just before theKirby ☆ Step! credits.

Overview[edit]

Each of the skits take place in an abstract setting and usually involve eitherKirby,King Dedede, or both. Typically, the skit involves King Dedede attempting to prank or attack Kirby, but results in his plan backfiring, usually by being blown up by a bomb. There is no sound in these skits aside from a specific cartoonish sound effect which is used to mark the transition toward the credits theme.
