Carby is swallowing the internet
Nintendo made plenty of announcements at its latest Direct about games old and new.
Yet for some corners of the internet, the eyebrow-raising Mouthful Mode in Kirby and the Forgotten Land really stood out as ripe for innuendo.
The mode lets Kirby inhale some impressively sized objects, from a car to a cone, a vending machine, and more.
Kirby fans have since taken over the internet with their jokes, memes, and fan art of "Carby".
