SPINNI

This is the next in a series of characters that I am making for a customer that come from the various Kirby Games. Spinni is a member of the Squeaks that debuted in Kirby: Squeak Squad. According to the Kirby: Squeak Squad instruction manual, Spinni is the "speed of the group". Spinni is featured in the sub-game Smash Ride, where Kirby plays against him and three rare Red Squeakers. He also appears in a graphic, which Kirby can assemble by collecting Graphic Pieces from Treasure Chests. Spinni is a yellow mouse-like creature with a white belly marking, orange feet, a long snout and slight frame with a red nose. He wears a long red cape and large, shiny red shades, and is often accompanied by several yellow Squeakers.
