Video Game Hoaxes Wiki
Kirby Red Diamond

The box art for the game.

Kirby: Red Diamond is a fake video game hoax that is about an "unreleased" Kirby game for the Game Boy Advance.

The game being for sale[]

In 2001, an eBay listing for a game titled "Kirby: Red Diamond" was put up for sale. The box art looked super realistic as if it was a real Kirby game. The only information about the game was that it was an "unreleased" Kirby game and that it was made in 2001. What was weird was that Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland, the first Kirby game for the Game Boy Advance, was released in 2002. There wasn't that much information about the game, and before someone could buy it, the seller pulled it off sale. But later, on Yahoo Auctions, the game was put on sale. And someone was able to buy it. The game was bought by an unknown user. Though HAL Labs and Nintendo denied the existence of the game, people still wanted it.

The game[]

Kibby

The first screen with Kirby on a beach.

When turning on the Game Boy Advance, it shows the player a screen of Kirby on a beach. Then, it shows another screen of Kirby with text at the top reading "Kibby's Star". Then, the game starts and it's just an emulated version of Kirby on the Nintendo Entertainment System.
