Poll Can Kirby Choke? (64 votes)
One day he'll overreach and we'll know for certain. Until then, speculate wildly. I reckon he can. All balloons pop.

Oxford defines "choke" as, "(of a person or animal) have severe difficulty in breathing because of a constricted or obstructed throat or a lack of air."
I have emphasized two words that are key to our understanding of the concept of choking and how it relates to Kirby. First, we must establish whether or not Kirby is a person, an animal, or neither--or both. Secondly, we must ask whether or not Kirby has a throat.
Kirby is neither person nor animal. As others have stated, Kirby is, in fact, an eldritch horror and labels such as "person" or "animal" have no meaning when applied to such entities. All observational data shows us that Kirby does not possess what we might consider a "throat." Therefore, Kirby cannot choke.
Q.E.D.
Back in my day, Kirby could eat anything and everything just by opening his mouth. Now he can't even eat a car whole! I predict that within 2 games he'll definitely be choking on something.
@shindig: Genuinely think a Katamari game with Kirby eating iconic Nintendo objects & characters would be a huge hit.
Maybe he can do that thing constrictor snakes do when they’re swallowing large prey that takes up their whole mouth where they have a little windpipe that pops out to ensure that they can still breathe.
