Celebration Pictures are special images of artwork formed by collecting Picture Pieces in Kirby Star Allies. Each Celebration Picture consists of 80 pieces, the pink empty slots of which can only be filled in using the Rare Picture Pieces found in each regular stage of the Story Mode. Sometimes, a picture piece can fill in a slot already occupied. Completing every Celebration Picture is not required for 100% completion of Kirby Star Allies, though finding every Rare Picture Piece is.
List of Pictures
As of Kirby Star Allies Version 4.0.0, there are 18 pictures in total, each one depicting a different game or set of games in the Kirby series. Each picture from the base game is drawn by a guest artist, while pictures added in the updates are drawn by HAL Laboratory employees. The artists are credited in the game, with their names showing when the image is viewed. When viewing a completed picture, a specific tune will also play matching the artwork's subject matter.
The following table lists each picture as well as other details pertaining:

The Butterfly can be seen as well. The developers have mentioned in interviews that they consider Kirby Star Allies the "end of an era" for the Kirby series; the Designer's Note from Kirby Star Allies: The Original Art Book explicitly frames this image as calling back to the origins of the series at the very end of what is a total synthesis of Kirby, while emphasizing that Kirby continues to travel to new worlds.[5]

Sketch art
Sketch art of the six Celebration Pictures added in Version 4.0.0 is a bonus for ordering Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack on the Japanese official website exclusively, which was released on February 14th, 2019.
The first two sketch art pieces essentially match the content of their corresponding final Celebration Picture. The next three feature small annotations and differences:
- The sketch of Break Time Breakdown includes some scribbled annotations about character design, and is missing the workbench with the ice cream sundae.
- The sketch of Let Them Know We're Happy has Francisca and Zan Partizanne swapped relative to their positions in the final picture, and Flamberge appears to be holding an inner tube instead of pointing to a Coner. A handwritten annotation (うみ) denotes the fact that the scene is supposed to be set by the sea.
- The sketch of Bad Boss Brothers places Necrodeus in a different position (next to Drawcia instead of to Magolor's left), and is missing Gryll and Yin-Yarn. King Dedede is also not present in the sketch.
However, the sketch art of "A Farewell to Kirby" depicts totally different content:
- The top left panel depicts Kirby approaching a Sparkling Star. The top note says 未来へ…!! ("To the future…!!") and the right note says キラキラ星 ("Sparkling Star").
- The top right panel depicts Kirby looking up at the viewer. The left note says キミと握手 ("Shaking hands with you") and the right note says 20cmなので ("Because (Kirby) is 20cm tall").
- The bottom panels depict Kirby dreaming with Void Termina's Final Core. A bubble of Kirby is shown above Void Termina. The note says やさしい夢をみて。 ("Have a peaceful dream.")
Errors
There are some peculiarities in the illustrations:
- In the illustration "Super Ultra Battle", Galacta Knight's body is depicted as violet instead of magenta, much like his official artwork in Kirby Super Star Ultra.
- In the illustration "FIGHT FOR THE CROWN", the bottom right segment slightly overlaps the center artwork, covering one point of the Warp Star.
- In the illustration "Bad Boss Brothers", Marx's hat is colored incorrectly. Previously, similar coloring mistakes also happened in some Milky Way Wishes cutscenes from the original Kirby Super Star. It is correctly depicted in the original sketch art, however.
Trivia
- Ashura Benimaru Itoh, the illustrator of "The Great Labyrinth Battle" and "FIGHT FOR THE CROWN!", has been credited in several Kirby games in the past, including Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (Supervisor), Kirby Air Ride (Design Concept), Kirby: Canvas Curse (Special Thanks), Kirby Super Star Ultra (Design Advisor), Kirby's Return to Dream Land (Design Advisor), and Kirby: Triple Deluxe (Design Advisor).
- In almost all cases the Japanese and English titles both have near-identical meanings. There are two exceptions:
- The Japanese name for "The Great Labyrinth Battle" translates roughly to "Treasure Scramble Labyrinth". The difference is relatively minor since the "battle" in the English title is the same thing as the scramble for treasure in the Japanese title. Other languages also differ: for instance, the Korean and Chinese titles follow the Japanese original.
- The Japanese name for "Rockabilly and Blues" (mushi kera ga naku rokabirī in romaji) translates roughly to "Rockabilly as Sung by Bugs", with 虫ケラ (more often written as 虫けら or 虫螻) being a derisive term for bugs (in the colloquial sense of referring to small animals rather than in the strict entomological sense of 'true' bugs). Other languages differ: the English name, and most of the subsequent localizations, make a pun on "blues," which is both a musical genre and a general term for sadness. The Korean and Chinese titles, again, follow the Japanese original.
- The music track that plays when viewing "A Farewell to Kirby" is the only one that has a unique name on the Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack, and the only one that does not loop; instead, it slows down and eventually stops as a music box would.
