Kirby is considered to become Curio's assistant, butTokkori sabotages Kirby by dropping an antique vase on his head, making it look like Kirby carelessly shattered the priceless artifact. This causes Curio to faint and it is implied that he threw Kirby and the kids out right after. Curio is not seen again in the episode. | "I think I'll lay down for a moment..." *faints* | |
| A Dark & Stormy Knight |  | Tertiary character | In this episode, Professor Curio has a brief scene where he is painstakingly reconstructing a dinosaur fossil in his shop only for the fossil to be shattered byKracko's lightning as themonster tries to pursue Tiff and Kirby. Later on, he can be seen in the crowd admiring Kirby's victory over Kracko. | "I have finally reconstructed the rare Triceratops Cappiensis!"(just before the fossil gets zapped) | |
| Beware: Whispy Woods! |  | Tertiary character | In this episode, Professor Curio can be seen in the crowd that gathers to watchKing Dedede cut downWhispy Woods Forest and replace it with a golf course. | (no dialogue) | |
| Un-Reality TV |  | Tertiary character | In this episode, Professor Curio can be seen watchingChannel DDD in his home like the others, much to Tiff's bemusement. Later on, Curio is among those who gets hypnotized by King Dedede to form a mob and go after Kirby. | "Oh, well I uhh..."(after being caught watching T.V. by Tiff) | |
| Kirby's Egg-Cellent Adventure |  | Secondary character | In this episode, Professor Curio appears as part of the crowd surveying the recent wind storm that damaged the countryside, and confirms it to be the result of the legendary birdDyna Blade arriving in Dream Land. He exposits briefly on the history of Dyna Blade, explaining that the giant bird only arrives once a century to lay a single egg and leaves shortly after it hatches. Later on, he joins Tiff and Tuff as they try to save Kirby from Dyna Blade's wrath after Kirby presumably ate the egg. Later still, he is in the crowd that seesDyna Chick alive and well at the coast with Kirby. | "It appeared only once a century. It would come to Cappy Town to lay a single egg. After the egg hatched, Dyna Blade would leave Cappy Town only to reappear 100 years later, century after century. Dyna Blade last appeared to a caravan of immigrants during the age of the pioneers, and now, the time of the Dyna Blade is here again." | |
| Curio's Curious Discovery |  | Primary character | Professor Curio is one of the leading characters in this episode. Here, he is leading an archaeological dig site in the Dream Land countryside while being assisted byTiff and company. They dig up a large coffin which Tiff is led to believe is a relic from ancient Cappy civilization, but Curio is strangely apprehensive about them discovering it. A short time later, a large crowd of Cappies arrive to see the coffin when King Dedede andEscargoon show up and open it to reveal what appears to be an ancestor of Dedede instead. Tiff tries to get an explanation from Curio as this appears to contradict what she learned from him before, but Curio reluctantly goes along with Dedede's narrative instead. Sensing something to be amiss, Tiff later shadows Professor Curio as he goes out at night with his digging tools to continue working, and catches him in the act of planting artifacts at the dig site that validate King Dedede's royal authority. Rather than confronting him right away, Tiff takes photos of Curio in the act and later pulls him aside during the exhibition the next day to implore him to come clean. Curio explains that his shop has few visitors and that he was about to go bankrupt, but King Dedede made him an offer to support his work if he validated the King's authority. He refuses Tiff's pleas for the time being and proceeds with the event. Later on, however, while trying to give a speech to the crowd on Dedede's behalf, he folds under the guilt and admits everything, shocking the crowd and enraging King Dedede. After King Dedede releases the monsterDedede Stone on everyone, Professor Curio tries to attack the monster using his pickaxe, but seems to have little effect. However, the small amount of chip damage he did creates shards of the monster that Kirby inhales to gain theStoneCopy Ability. Kirby uses this ability to defeat Dedede Stone, burying King Dedede and Escargoon in the resulting rubble. King Dedede and Escargoon plead with Curio to dig them out, but Curio refuses, saying that he is done digging up fakes. | "Oh let them get themselves out! I'm through digging up fakes, especially dangerous ones!" | |

He later gets more directly involved in the search for the chick when the chick runs through his shop breaking a large vase he had reconstructed. Despite this, he can do little more than trail behind Tiff and her group for the remainder of the episode. | "It's true Dyna Blade was upset when it first came here, but that was because it had lost its egg." | |
| Ninja Binge |  | Secondary character | In this episode, the events of the plot are predicated by the attempted theft of a supposedly ancient ninja scroll from Professor Curio's collection.

After the factory is destroyed, Curio can be seen aiding Tiff and company with the efforts to restore the damaged ecosystem. | "The danger inherent in learning a lesson is that what is readily apparent at the outset becomes obscure as time passes, and what was once clear inexorably fades from memory." | |
