From Kirbypedia

Kirby has starred in over 20 games since 1992, as well as cameoing in some others!

The games seem to follow a rough time line that follows the release order. The action/platform games tend to have actual stories to them, while side games like Kirby's Pinball do not, and are harder to put in any specific point in time.
