Masahiro Sakurai maybe gave Kirby Air Riders players too much power as there already multiple scantily clad versions of Chef Kawasaki flooding the vehicle market

The GameCube one is pretty cool though

It took the Kirby Air Riders community a few hours to flood the game's machine market with designs ranging from genuinely incredible to bizarre, and of course there's a sexy version of one of Kirby's most iconic friends.

Kirby Air Riders is part of the Kirby series, y'know the one that is cute and wholesome and nice and definitely would not inspire any form of degeneracy at all amongst the player base? Well, since that is the case, Masahiro Sakurai's latest game allows players to express their creativity, as the Bandai Namco-developed Kirby Air Riders allows you to create custom vehicles to share online in a Forza-esque marketplace. And, oh wait, never mind, there are already multiple sexy versions of Chef Kawasaki on there.

But of course, some have to sully it with smut. As one user points out (translated by GamesRadar+): "There are already two different versions of Cook Kawasaki in a micro bikini." And while Kirby icon Chef Kawasaki is a hunk and a legendary figure in the series, what he dresses like in his own free time is none of our business, and frankly, it's not our place to show that off to the rest of the world.

Of course, the last Masahiro Sakurai title, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, featured a stage creator that allowed players to upload their creations, and the fact "Mario Pissing" is a go-to stage in my Smash Bros multiplayer sessions says enough about what some of those were like, so maybe we should have predicted this.

Super Smash Bros. and Kirby creator Masahiro Sakurai says "it's best to just play games, instead of looking at who made them," so please don't perceive him
