In Kirby and the Forgotten Land, everyone’s favorite pink guy can inhale a soda machine to activate Vending Mouth mode. In this new and deeply troubling form, Kirby can spit soda cans at enemies to defeat them. [Source]

Here’s the drink machine that Kirby… inhales?… consumes?… envelops?… to transubstantiate into Vending Mouth mode.

BONUS! I recently stumbled across a plush version of Vending Mouth Kirby at MINISO. That’s right — it’s a plush version of a video game character who ate a video game soda machine and became a video game character who’s also a video game soda machine!

Infamous: Festival of Blood

inFAMOUS Series

Soda machine from Infamous: Festival of Blood

Infamous: Festival of Blood is a “what if?” spin-off where protagonist Cole MacGrath gets turned into a vampire by Bloody Mary and adds bloodsucking abilities to his usual electrokinetic powerset. I guess when the soda machines are this empty, drinking blood is your next best option.

I’m not sure whose idea it was to put a soda machine in a cemetery, but I guess even ghosts get thirsty in Spirit Hunter: NG. [Source]

I don’t know a lot about this game, but I’m going to assume that guy with the axe is named something like the Corpulent Butcher, and the dog is barking to keep him away from the soda machine. [Source]

Here’s another random vending machine from the game. Multiply the numerals given by the waxing moons? Look, are you just going to tell me how much a soda costs, or do I have to guess? [Source]

Better board up the windows before cracking open an ice-cold can of Fatty Cola in Dead Block. That encroaching zombie horde probably won’t wait for you to finish your drink.

Blue soda machine from Soda Pop Vampire

Exiled from Transylvania for preferring soda to blood, the protagonist of Soda Pop Vampire must sneak from the blue soda machine to the red soda machine, level after level, before his carbonated lifeblood runs out.

I’d like to think those color choices are a metaphor for blood circulating through the arteries and veins of the human body, but I might be overthinking this.

They weren’t kidding when they named it Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. This Der Wunderfizz machine is completely frozen over! Better slam it before the zombies show up…

Or, if you prefer a more pixelated soda in your historical zombie shooter, why not download a little Elemental Pop?

Last but not least, Speed Cola is the perfect pick-me-up for when the zombies are closing in and you need a little extra caffeine to fuel your escape plan. [Source]
