I'm glad in not the only one that actuslly believes that Kirby is 8 inches. Tbh I kinda don't mind that canon height because I always felt like in a way it makes Kirby's world sensibly cuter.



I think a fact that Kirby's world is small makes sense if you think of it this way:

While not part of the canon, the Kirby Anime depicts the characters small compare to the Mona lisa seen in one episode.



Kirby being 8 inches makes King Dedede the size of an Australian Fairy Penguin which are coincidentally blue. Making him potentially that type of penguin.



And while I understand most don't like this idea. I honestly don't mind. Again its up to people but kirby being 8 inches does make his world much more alien then it is. I know smash tends to make us think otherwise but tiny alien pink puffball is a much more interesting (if not deadly) and compelling species.



Also I must ask what do you believe Adeline is? I often think shes a humanoid alien of Popstar not often seen because Popstar isn't populated much with humanoid tiny species or are not often seen
