The recurring setup initially appears to be a parallel to [[Mario]] and [[Bowsers]] relationship, where Kirby goes on a quest to put the mischievous, troublemaking, self-styled "king" of Dream Land, Dedede, back in his place. However, contrary to popular belief, Dedede is not the main antagonist of most games or even the franchise in general. Kirby is usually pitted against some kind of greater threat to Popstar or the galaxy, revealed either from the outset or over the course of the game. In addition to Dedede, another recurring character Kirby encounters is Meta Knight, who similarly shifts between ally and antagonist. While not as direct a character, Kirby often encounters creatures known as Waddle Dee's who serve as one of the most common enemies encountered, though more often than not they pose no particular threat to Kirby. In Modern Kirby games, they're is a Waddle Dee who serves as one of Kirby's most trusted allies, this particular Waddle Dee is referred to as Bandana Waddle Dee, and has for sometime been seen as the Forth Main Character of the series alongside Kirby, King Dedede, and Meta Knight. Kirby's adventures regularly take him through not just Dream Land and Popstar itself, but other planets as well.

Additionally, details scattered throughout each entry in the series establish a consistent setting and connection between games; for example, the recurring presence of the corruptive entity known as {{s|wikirby|Dark Matter}}, or the existence of the parallel {{s|wikirby|MirrorWorld}} Dreamland, which houses its own counterparts to the original Dreamland's traditional inhabitants and locations, and the mysterious existence of several powerful, magical artifacts and advanced technologies that are believed to have been created by a enigmatic species known as the Ancients. Because of this, a highly intricate backstory is present in the overall ''Kirby'' universe that, while superseded by the main plot of each game, creates ongoing themes that influence the overarching universe of the series.
