This dear little beast has always been around for me. Everything is scary when you're a kid, and believing in a strong character that could protect you is pretty standard. I just happened to pick weirdos.

When I was young, I would create my own physical marx-es out of paper or with my poorly needle-felting skills. I wish it had been earlier, but you can imagine how excited I was when the first official marx plush released in 2017. Since then, I have collected many pieces of Marx merch, and run a website dedicated to archiving marx merchandise.

I am also fascinated by his relationship with Magolor, which is best summed up by Tumblr user dinoburger in a now-deleted post as "The most non-canon canon relationship in existence". The developers seemingly love to point out their similarities and yet they never spoken any dialogue to each other.

The closest we have gotten thus far (besides merchandise featuring both of them) is a post from the official Japanese Kirby Twitter in 2017. This post from April Fools day depicts Marx and Magolor tricking multiple characters into walking around a post by convincing them it will turn into a cake. They are later made to bake cakes as an apology.
