Is it possible to have too much Kirby? We're not convinced so, and a new book announced in Japan has taken that sentiment to the next level. In addition to the mountain of merch already devoted to the pink one, Let's Find Kirby is an official book in the vein of Where's Waldo? (or Where's Wally? for UK readers) where you must find a specific Kirby in a crowd of clones.
According to NintendoSoup, it'll have 24 pages full to the brim with the saviour of Smash Bros. and you'll be tasked with finding a specific Kirby amongst the hundreds across the page (the one with a balloon, for example, or the one brandishing a Star Rod). Check out the cover below:
There's no word on a western release for this pink and puffy publication, although preorders are available with worldwide shipping from amazon.co.jp.
We'd imagine it'll be easy enough to enjoy without being able to read Japanese, assuming you've got an application on your phone to help decipher which exact Kirby you're looking for - it'll be a considerable challenge, otherwise.
Enjoy searching for a piece of hay in an incredibly large stack of needles? Are there any other characters from Nintendo's roster that would work well in this sort of book? Share your thoughts with a comment.

Which kirby though?
@Octarian The cutest one!
I didn't know how much I needed a book like this in my life until today :')
I'll buy it. Looks pretty appealing to me.
Is it the dark pink one? the Yellow one, the Green one, the Blue one? Or is it that pink one? or that pink one?
Reminds me of Where's Sonic. There's actually been three such publications.
@Charlie_Girl Same. I really need to get my hands on this!
Whoever can find the Kirby I'm talking about wins a million dollars.
I’d like to get it.
I need this. Now.
looks like Ill b getting this
I’ve always wanted to make books like this. Maybe I should get off the internet and get started...
As much as I'd like this, it'd probably cost too much to import. Maybe we could get a Fire Kirby Nendoroid instead?
THERE'S A BEAM KIRBY NENDOROID?! 'Scuse me, I have some preordering to do...
This would be a neat collector's item for those outside of Japan. I could see myself showing this to my kids years down the road.
@RupeeClock I didn't know there was a Sonic The Hedgehog version!
@Dpullam Besides the newer one, there were ones around the time of the Genesis/Mega Drive games. The one I had featured Sonic and the Archie cast in different in-game zones. (I still say that Retro Sally's brown design is excellent for the series and only needed a bit of modernization.)
@KingBowser86 That sounds pretty imaginative! Makes me wish I had one growing up.
Sightgags abound - it was a treasure! And the comics added characterization where there was none. Kinda started falling apart when there regularly were alternate dimensions, Hyper Knuckles from regular Chaos Emeralds, and the Acorn family. Before that point, though, it was fun! Mecha Madness is still a must-read.
Interesting how this Where’s Waldo thing is coming back in some capacity. I’d consider it because I love how cute is Kirby.
I think there was, of all things, a where’s one direction book too.
That image is a nightmare that King Dedede has. Every. Single. Night.
Why wasn't this Where's Waluigi?!
