Heyo everybody! Samster here, with something pretty interesting!
When seeing the trailer for World of Light for the first time, did you wonder why Kirby was the one who survived? After all, they could have picked anyone. Or could they? Sakurai revealed today why he chose Kirby as the character to live through Galeem’s attack.
Do you agree with Sakurai? Should they have had a different character survive?

"We needed a solid, convincing reason for why said character could outrun Galeem. All fighters possessing “normal” abilities were immediately disqualified. Given that its assault enveloped the ends of the galaxy, only a vehicle that could defy the laws of physics would work. Even short-distance teleportation wouldn’t be enough.
Some of you may have forgotten, but Kirby’s Warp Star has been able to, y’know, warp since his very first game. That alone made him a pretty solid contender. The only other two fighters that could have survived would have been Bayonetta or Palutena. That said, Bayonetta’s enemies from Purgatorio (a hellish other world) were turned into Spirits, so it wouldn’t have made sense for her to escape. Other divine beings like Hades were also turned into Spirits, so there was no way Palutena could have survived, too."
