Since Kirby RBAY is a show meant for the younger demographic/for kids, 4kids didn't seem to censored the show as much as any of their other 4kids dubs, I know my opinion sounded biased. But at least 4kids didn't censor the deaths or even removing japanese food onscreen on this one, now as for the scenes sure they are a couple of them here and there that are cut, but i don't think they aren't anything important or withstanding, and some edits 4kids did is actually good like recoloring dedede's tank, or removing the bouncy tiff scene(which is definitely justified on what 4kids did and im glad of it). So anyways' how well did 4kids handled the kirby anime quality wise compared to their other 4kids dubs, despite 4kids gotten alot of flack because of censorship.

I still prefer the original Japanese version, but English Dedede and Escargoon (...[Sighs] 🤦‍♂️) are perfection lol.
 
Dedede is a Texan. Meta Knight is Spanish. They definitely took some creative liberties lol, but I find things like that to be more endearing than anything.

Given the simple and lighthearted nature of the show, it didn't seem like there was much for them to change for an international audience. Which is surprising, since we all know that Kirby is a monster.
 
asside from some slight censorship and the removal of some characters due to time restraints, id say they did a great job

also i love dedede and meta knight's voices
 
For once, 4Kids didn’t ruin an anime. Though, surprisingly they didn’t make Kirby more angry since America loves seeing Kirby angry on every Kirby game’s cover.
 
The dub is great, I love Dedede and Meta Knight. There's like, two or three episodes you have to watch in Japanese because they never aired in America, and of course you have the final final episode that was only in a 3DS game, but you can watch that one on Youtube.
 
That was the version we got dubbed to LATAM, i loved that one, maybe i give a shot to the uncensored one tho
