The second game was a full 3D adventure allowing Kirby to freely move around, and looked very similar to ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'' in graphical style. It was stated to have extremely challenging gameplay, and was canceled because it did not achieve HAL's quality standards.<ref name="IwataAsks" />

Due to the fullscreen proportions of the screenshot, it can be reasonably assumed that the game was developed for the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. If this is the case, then it likely had the shortest development span of the three concepts, due to being developed near the end of the GameCube's lifespan.

Several aspects of the three canceled projects would eventually work their way into completed ''Kirby'' titles. Among them included the following points:
Several aspects of the three canceled projects would eventually work their way into completed ''Kirby'' titles. Among them included the following points:
*The concept of a full 3D ''Kirby'' game was likely the inspiration for the 3D environments in the sub-game [[Kirby 3D Rumble]], and later in ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]'' and ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', and would ultimately be realized in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.

*Much of the music and other assets developed for ''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'' would be used in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', most noticeably "[[Road to Victory]]" (used for [[The Arena]]). This track was first heard in the ''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'' trailer during [[wikipedia:Electronic Entertainment Expo|E3 2005]], and shares the melody of the theme "[[Sky Tower]]" from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. The melody was probably intended to serve as a leitmotif of ''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'', though it's also widely used in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''. Another track that was carried from the GameCube game was one of the cave themes of ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', that played in the footage shown at E3 2005. Additionally, several models and sounds in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land''{{'}}s files use the header "GCK", presumably for "GameCube Kirby", indicating that they were originally planned for use in this title.

*Various sound effects used in this title would be later be used in ''[[Kirby: Squeak Squad]]'', including the sound for getting a Copy Ability, the inhale sound, and the sound of Water Kirby's bubble attack (for the [[Bubble]] ability's attacks).

*The ''Kirby'' series trophies in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' appear to use assets from this title, with models such as [[Golem]] and the [[Fire]] hat, which has a hexagonal jewel rather than the circular one in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', being direct matches.
