I decided I didn't want humans to be a species on Popstar to keep them as rare as they are in canon, so my "human equivalent" species on Popstar are simians! They're basically just "what if humans were lesser apes like Gibbons"-- they have elf ears, slightly longer arms, primate-like feet, and snout-like noses. They're not naturally born with an ability, but can gain one through practice! All three of these guys are simians.

As for info abt the specific enemies:

Knuckle Joe: A well-known simian kid who lives in Dreamland. His father was a Star Warrior and KJ wants the same thing, so he's always trying to train and spar with anyone. He finds out about Kirby after Kirby beats up DDD for stealing all the food, and immediately sought him out to train. They've since become fast friends.

Poppy Bros Jr.: A delinquent guild of simians (some related, some not, but all brothers in arms) who love building bombs and causing problems. They don't work for DDD, but often align themselves with him because it gives them the ability to throw bombs at people mostly without consequences. They don't love Kirby because he stops them from "having fun", but have a healthy respect for him because beats them up all the time. The leaders of the group are named Ruff, Tuff, and Tumble. (They don't all look like the design shown above, but the outfit is pretty much the same amongst them all).
