How to put it together

  1. 1

    Put on a base layer of comfortable, breathable clothing like a pink t-shirt and leggings.

  2. 2

    Step into the inflatable Kirby suit, ensuring your feet align with the leg openings and your face is clear of the viewing window.

  3. 3

    Turn on the battery-operated fan and allow the suit to fully inflate around you.

  4. 4

    Slip on the bright red shoes or pull the red boot covers over your footwear.

  5. 5

    If not using a full suit, apply pink face paint to your face and draw bright pink circles on your cheeks.

  6. 6

    Carry the Star Rod prop in one hand to complete the classic video game look.

Makeup & hair

Keep your hair tucked back under a pink wig cap or hood. For makeup, apply a bright pink base with large blue eyes painted on your eyelids (for photos) and bright rosy-pink circles on your cheeks.

Tips

  • Bring extra AA batteries for the inflatable suit's fan so you don't deflate mid-party.
  • The inflatable suit can get warm inside, so wear lightweight, moisture-wicking clothes underneath.
  • Practice navigating doorways and tight spaces beforehand, as the round shape makes you much wider than usual.
