Later, Masahiro Sakurai gave the rights to Kirby to Shinya Kumazaki for example, Kumazaki made a remake of Sakurai's game, Kirby Super Star, and made Kirby Super Star Ultra. Another example, he made a collector's collection of six of Sakurai's games, and made them into Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition for Wii (1). However, Sakurai STILL has the rights so Kirby, and if he wants, he can still make new Kirby games if he wants. So now Sakurai is the co-owner of Kirby.
