Kirby vs Sonic: who would win in a fist fight?
Pick the winner and how they win (TKO, DQ or decision), then see how everyone else called it.
Kirby
“The Pink Puffball” · Nintendo · 1992 · 0′8″ (20 cm), about 4 lb (2 kg)
Round pink hero of Dream Land who inhales enemies and copies their powers. Officially about 20 cm tall, and far tougher than he looks.
Sonic
“The Hedgehog” · Sega · 1991 · 3′3″ (100 cm), 77 lb (35 kg)
Sega’s blue hedgehog, running at the speed of sound since 1991. Attacks by curling into a spiky ball. Short temper, shorter attention span.
The crowd
Nobody has called this one yet.
The AI’s verdict (spoiler)
Sonic by TKO. Kirby turns up in his Fighter headband, tougher than he looks, but he's 33 kg lighter and 80 cm shorter. Sonic is too impatient for three rounds and ends it with quick straight punches. The referee steps in during round two and calls a TKO.
Fair fight? Make Sonic fight on his knees, so Kirby's headband-powered punches have something to hit above the ankle. Or put Kirby on a stack of chili dog crates.
