MaxVance and I came across this question while discussing the new Kirby game, Kirby: Squeak Squad.

<MaxVance> Hmm, here's something to consider.
<MaxVance> Could Kirby or Yoshi eat more?

Yep, we have a conundrum. I posed this question in #palaceofshadow (like #tmk, another IRC channel on studio64.yi.org) and we still haven't come to a conclusion.
Remember that your first Goomba boldly you walk? When Mario touched that mushroom being brought up more largely remember that you are surprised? Miscalculate your jump that pit remember that it falls?

All 3 characters mentioned so far can eat infinitely. But If I had to choose I'd say Kirby.

I think the better question is:

What would happen if Yoshi and Kirby ate each other at exactly the same time?

Yoshi definitely wins the quick draw contest.

Hm, who honestly COULD eat more?  This takes a lot of thinking, as there are many-a-factors to find the answer.  It's more than just "Who can swallow more", since they each have an infinite cap

One the one hand, there's Yoshi.  Long tongue to get the food,  abilty to quickly digest food into eggs.  Also, it must have taste buds, since they all have prefered fruits to eat. 

Then there is Kirby. Powerful lungs, which I would consider a part of his digestive system, large mouth to accommodate any size enemy.

My conclusion?  Yoshi could eat more.  While Kirby definately is a contender, he can only swallow one 'powered' enemy before he becomes full.  Then he has to get rid of it before he can eat again.  Yoshi can continuously eat and eat, quickly working it through its system.  Interesting note, though, while Yoshi can eat more, Kirby is usually the only one to eat for the traditional sense, as in gaining nutrition.  He eats to restore health in all his games.  Yoshi did so in Yoshi's Island, and kinda did in SMS, but that was only to restore juice.

Oh, and I.S., Yoshis tounge would reach for Kirby, though since Kirby would be inhaling, Yoshi would be pulled closer.  Yoshi, if he was thinking, would aim for the center, which would be the back of the mouth of Kiby.  As they began to eat, they would try to open their mouths as wide as possible, always trying to be more than the other, until Yoshis tounge pulled him to Kirby, and Kirby's suction pulling Yoshi, they would meet, and, essentially meet in a fighting kiss.  No one would be able to get their mouth completely around the other so long as the other was still trying.  Nasty, kinda disturbing, and a stalemate.

No way. Kirby can open his mouth much wider than Yoshi. But I believe that Yoshi's tongue would have Kirby turned into an egg faster than Kirby could get a vacuum going.

No, it is possible for Kirby to eat more than one enemy at one time. They just have to enter his mouth at the same time.

My vote went to Yoshi, but afterwards I realized that Kirby could eat more. Darn. And I'm a Kirby fan, too.

Actually, when we see Kirby when he just sucked up an enemy, he's actually containing the enemy in his mouth, then you press down to fully swallow the enemy. What's my reasoning for this? Well, in the upcoming Kirby game, Kirby Squeak Squad, we see the inside of Kirby's stomach on the bottom screen. When you've sucked up an enemy, it will remain in Kirby's mouth until you press down on the D-pad, where it then goes into Kirby's stomach, indicating that the enemies are put in Kirby's stomach and are not expelled. Besides, we've never seen Kirby poop, so he can just eat and eat and never get full.

Also, Yoshi has to poop out the enemy before he can swallow another one. So technically, he can't eat forever.
