Trivia

 * Excluding 3D Classics: Kirby's Adventure, which released before the launch of Miiverse, this is the only Kirby game for the Nintendo 3DS that did not have a Miiverse community. This is because the Miiverse service was discontinued on all devices on November 8, 2017, before the game's launch.
 * Likewise, this is also the only Kirby game for the Nintendo 3DS that cannot be played with stereoscopic 3D.
 * This is the third Kirby game to have an E10+ rating. The others are Kirby's Return to Dream Land and Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition.
 * This is also the third Kirby game that won't release in Japan first, and the second game to be released in PAL/Europe first (the first game in both instances being Kirby's Avalanche).
