Kirby really flies! For one day only, Kirby, Nintendo's super-tough, pink puff, video game character turned the sky pink as thousands of Kirby-shaped clouds floated through the air. Nintendo released the clouds in celebration of the Sept. 22 release of Kirby Super Star Ultra for Nintendo DS. Check out this video of Kirby in Alabama. (Video: Business Wire)
