List of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! episodes

Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, known in Japan as Kirby of the Stars (星のカービィ Hoshi no Kābī), is an anime series adapted from the video game series of the same title by Masahiro Sakurai. Produced by Studio Sign and directed by Sōji Yoshikawa, the series was broadcast on Chubu-Nippon Broadcasting from October 6, 2001 to September 27, 2003. It follows the adventures of the titular character Kirby as he fights off monsters to his village's well-being.

Four pieces of theme music were used in the original Japanese version.

The second opening and ending themes, used from episode 72 onwards, are "Kirby!" (カービィ!, Kābii!) performed by Hiroko Asakawa and Kirby Step! (カービィ☆ステップ!, Kābii Suteppu) performed by Konishiki. 4Kids Entertainment used original music in their adaptation. The adaptation used "Kirby, Kirby, Kirby!", a jazz song written by Norman J. Grossfeld and performed by Ralph Schuckett.
