Ziro

Ziro is a character in Kirby's Wonderful Adventures.

About
Ziro is Zero's arch nemises. Instead of being a circle, Ziro is a rhombus. He resides in the Hypir Zoni, a world that is identical to the hyper zone, but all the black blobs in the background are rhombuses.

Character Origin
Back when Air Ride Adventures was the kirby series Mr. Loser worked on, there was a discord chatroom. One of the bots, known as Notsobot. could mess around with images with a command called .magik.

There was a project going on for Air Ride Adventures called ARA Smash, which was if the ARA Characters were in Super Smash Bros. Zero was put on the roster and revealed on December 18, 2016. The owner of the ARA Chat was known for spamming bot commands outside of bot spam, and .magik was probably the one he did it with most.

The owner used .magik to corrupt the image of Zero's splash art twice. The result was the picture of the right, with all the letters messed up. This was the first appearance of Ziro. He got the name Ziro by one user who gave him the name due to how the E turned out in the corrupted image, which made it look like an I. Mr. L originally called him Zero 17 and zIR0 before sticking with Ziro. Ziro eventually became a character in ARA and a boss in ARA Smash.

Trivia

 * Ziro's home, the Hypir Zoni, got its name by replacing all the E's in Hyper Zone with i's.
 * Ziro is the only ARA character to appear in KWA. He is also one of three returning characters, alongside Dyna Blade and Shadow Star.
