Confirmed Story
As Kirby naps under a tree, a group of robotic invaders—the Haltmann Works Company —descend from the skies of Dream Land and overrun Planet Popstar with machinery. Both King Dedede and Meta Knight retaliate against the invaders. King Dedede uses his castle's cannons and Meta Knight uses his Halberd, but the enemies' weaponry easily defeats both.

Confirmed amiibo Compatibility
Players can scan amiibo to instantly obtain Copy Abilities, whether random or character-specific, depending on the amiibo used (for example, the Mario amiibo will give Kirby the Fire ability). Also, there will be a line of Kirby series amiibo, featuring Kirby, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Waddle Dee. When either of these is scanned, they will either give Kirby the UFO ability, or one of three custom-designed versions of existing abilities.

Trivia

 * The "3D" part of the Kirby 3D Rumble logo appears to be an homage to Kirby: Triple Deluxe ' s logo.
 * Kirby 3D Rumble appears to be greatly inspired by Nintendo's second attempt at creating the canceled game Kirby GCN.
