Here's a bunch of obscure characters from the Kirby series that I'd include all in one post because why not.
Dashing Super Guy appeared in the U.S. commercial for Kirby's Dream Land, representing the macho aesthetic that a lot of games had at the time. In many ways, Kirby lucked out, as DSG has the hair, the muscles, the weaponry. The only thing Kirby had... was appetite, which he promptly shows by inhaling then spitting out DSG in but a few seconds. Despite only appearing in this single ad, Dashing Super Guy seems to have a presence in certain circles, getting a bit of fanart himself.
Chirby is Kirby's sidekick from the Corocoro manga that began publication in 1995, being visually based on the Dizzy enemy from Kirby's Dream Land (specifically a model of said enemy seen in a picture in the Japanese guidebook for Kirby's Adventure, a game the Dizzy didn't even appear in). A smaller white puffball with a waffle cone-esque hat, Chirby is the reasonable one of the pair who tries to keep Kirby from getting to caught up in his gluttony and keep him on track to beat Dedede and reclaim the Star Rod. While I don't have a copy of the manga myself, I believe Chirby himself gets phased out relatively quickly as the cast expands.
Bluefish is... well, a bluefish, from the two German-exclusive Club Nintendo comics that depicted Kirby as a hard-boiled detective with Nick Dedede as his assistant. Bluefish himself was an ally of the two, operating his own establishment, the Bluefish Bar, and acting as their informant. When Kirby is kidnapped in one of these stories, he even breaks into the villain's lair and has his club employees overwhelm them in the end.
Susy (not to be confused with Susie from Planet Robobot) is Kirby's romantic partner who appears in only one of the German stories, Kirby's Biggest Case. Her role in the story is minimal, only showing up to force Kirby to take care of her pets while she goes out shopping with friends. Those three pets of hers turn out to be Rick, Kine, and Coo from Kirby's Dream Land 2, who then help Kirby and crew track down the one responsible for the murder of the scientist Dr. Mainhold and, later, the kidnapping of Dedede.
