The animations looks odd. The Poppy Bro, on the other hand, looks phenomenal! I tried fixing the animation that you made.
I know it looks weird and "jiggity";but, the reason why it's looks like that is because its not floating in the air.

If I may make a suggestion. Kirby usually has a neutral face most of the time in the game. He's only smiley at certain points. Perhaps the smile on the face should be changed to the usual dot.
I tried that in the other thread (My thread). It looked weird. Besides, I don't like how they do that ingame. It looks emotionless and awkward. So to prevent that, I just gave him a tiny smile.

I think this should have a more animated style. That's why I like the smile, it gives him some more life.
The reason he has a blank expression in the official games is because he's kinda killing seemly innocent creatures and it's just morbid if he's happy about it
The animation doesn't look so strong. Is that his inhaling animation? If it is, then I think you need to exaggerate. Right now, it looks like he is yelling at someone.

I was thinking more about the anime when making it.
A bigger mouth helps

Since it looks like this is getting a nice amount of activity and will go a long way, I'd say it's good to be in the sprite projects section now. So go forth and make me proud, will you?

Another mouth critique from Koopaul? I noticed why it looks wierd. It's not because he's smiling. It's because his mouth is too low. Yep I say move up a pixel. It will look a little more Kirby-like.

Probably needs some clean up.

This is such a cute project. I love Kirby, and these are so cheerful
I think Waddle Doo's red areas needs more contrast though? Dee kind of gets away with it because he has the tan spot to break up the shading, but on Doo his shades just look melted together
that's because Lexou made Doo a bit more reddish, when he can easily be the same color as Dee, thus they can use the same shades.
also Doo's eye has been bothering me, I feel the pupil should be bigger cause there's too much white around it, looks kinda alien-like imo.
