I really liked Kirby Quest in Mass Attack, but one of my dreams is to have a Kirby RPG, actually. I made a list of the playable characters / allies as well as the main bosses / enemies!
If they were to make a Kirby RPG, I'd like it to have the quality and uniqueness of the Mario & Luigi RPGs and the Paper Mario series up until Super Paper Mario. Y'now, the good old Nintendo twist on things!
Note: I may or may not have spent over 2 hours on this.

I could expand on the RPG idea for a Kirby game to a very large extent, but it would take hours upon hours to be sure it makes sense and polish the idea as much as I can because I do prefer quality over quality! (I would maybe like to switch the general RPG classes to something more Kirby-related, also
* Oh, and Kirby would be a silent protagonist, as well as others potentially... It could take the charm away if Kirby just talked all the sudden (we know where this is going...) and a RPG doesn't always mean large amounts of texts... in some cases. Just a RPG-like battle system would be fun with Kirby elements & the characters mixed in. One huge positive to this even if it's a spin off is that it would (hopefully) positively structure the Protagonists and the Antagonists of the series greatly to give them more understanding, relatability, and depth!
But maybe the main story or a side-quest of the game could revolve around collecting DeDeDe Dolls from the most dangerous foes?
EDIT: The reason why Keeby, Waddle Doo, Bonkers, ect. are listed as main-ish characters is because I think HAL would want to bring underrated characters to the spotlight for an RPG, personally. And again, it would improve their character structure overall making them more relating and understandable... And potentially more likable!
