Nintendo to Celebrate Kirbys 20th Anniversary with Guinness World Records Attempt
August 24, in the year of our
Lord 2012 –WHAT:
Fans of Nintendo’s classic Kirby™ character will come together
for a new Guinness World Records® attempt for the most people
blowing a chewing gum bubble simultaneously. At the PAX Prime
conference on Sept. 1, these consumers will not only attempt to
break the standing record of 304 participants but will also get
the chance to win fun prizes, including Kirby’s Dream
Collection: Special Edition. The event will help to commemorate
the 20th anniversary of the Kirby franchise and celebrate the
upcoming Sept. 16 launch of Kirby’s Dream Collection: Special
Edition for Wii.
For two decades, the unique-looking pink hero known as Kirby has
been inhaling his way through Dream Land and into the hearts of
video game fans everywhere. While he may be pink, round and
adorable, he’s also a ferocious warrior who defeats his enemies
by inhaling objects and spitting them back out with incredible
force, making him one of the most recognizable and beloved game
characters in the world.
Kirby’s Dream Collection: Special Edition features six
fan-favorite games from the Kirby franchise on one disc, plus
additional challenge stages, a commemorative booklet, a music CD
and an interactive timeline that gives players a fun way to
explore Kirby's colorful history. For more information about
