These factors also contributed to the game becoming the lowest-selling title in the ''Kirby'' series, being the only entry to sell less than one million units. The game itself pokes fun at its late release in the Japanese version, where [[Boss Endurance|Boss Butch]] features a "Nintendo 16" logo (referring to the 16-bit hardware of the SNES, compared to the 64-bit hardware of the N64). | ||

*This game's original North American release was rated K-A (Kids to Adults), the contemporary equivalent to a modern E rating, by the ESRB. However ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'' was rated E10+ (a rating that did not exist at the time of this game's release, having been introduced in 2005), possibly because of the blood from both the [[Zero]] battle in this game and the [[0²]] battle in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'', as the description of the game says that "One boss character (a giant eyeball) fires red droplets at Kirby; additional red-damage effects appear as its health decreases."<ref>[https://www.esrb.org/ratings/32367/kirbys-dream-collection-special-edition/ ''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition'' ESRB description]</ref> | *This game's original North American release was rated K-A (Kids to Adults), the contemporary equivalent to a modern E rating, by the ESRB.
