What's the Point?
There are some trivia points I think are interesting that just don't meet mainspace standards. As such, I made this article to chronicle some. Everyone is welcome to add points that are "medium-quality" - that is to say, not low-quality, but not high enough quality for mainspace. Examples:
| Quality | Trivia Point |
|---|---|
| High | See mainspace trivia sections for articles marked Good. |
| Medium | Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land was the last mainline title to include a score counter in normal gameplay. |
| Medium | Royal Road - Stage 3 and Royal Road - Stage 8 EX are the only stages in Kirby: Triple Deluxe that don't contain a single normal Copy Ability - just Hypernova. |
| Low | Kirby's Dream Land 3 is the second game to have a number in the title. |
| Low | Bandana Waddle Dee's bandana has two tie sections, suggesting that the fabric in the bandana is rounded on two corners. |
Trivia
Let the knowledge expand! If you have any category suggestions, feel free to add them, only if you can move or add a trivia point to it.
Games & game mechanics
For facts about a specific game or a mechanic in it that doesn't warrant its own section or article.
- Kirby Star Allies is the only mainline game that stores Kirby's Extra Life count in the save file, allowing Kirby to attain a higher life count than other games much faster.
- Star Allies also features a much higher maximum life count overall. Most games cap off at 99, but Star Allies allows for far more to be collected.
- Royal Road - Stage 3 and Royal Road - Stage 8 EX are the only stages in Kirby: Triple Deluxe that don't contain a single normal Copy Ability — just Hypernova.
- Royal Road - Stage 8 EX is the only stage in Kirby: Triple Deluxe to feature two Goal Doors — one is the regular stage exit, and the other is within the secret room inside the moon. Interestingly, Access Ark - Stage 8 EX also has two Goal Doors set up in the exact same way, though it is not the only stage in Kirby: Planet Robobot with more than one.
- Smash Ride is the only Sub-Game in Kirby: Squeak Squad which does not involve some sort of bombs. Treasure Shot sometimes substitutes the sweets for bombs, Speedy Teatime sometimes replaces the strawberries in the cakes with bombs, and Boss Endurance allows Kirby to use the Bomb Copy Ability.
- In Kirby Mass Attack, Volcano Valley features a strange set of final stages, including one that is unlocked out of order. Stage 9 comes before Stage 10 and Stage 11 numerically because Kirby Mass Attack numbers stages clockwise moving inward.
Characters
Anything interesting to say on your favorite pal? Here goes!
- Gordo is only given expressive qualities in Kirby's Dream Land 3. All other games feature stoic Gordos with only a pair of blank, neutral eyes.
- Dark Matter is depicted inconsistently about body features, particularly the number of "orbs" it has. The number varies from eight to twelve on Dark Matter itself, and other entities related to it also have varying amounts. They are as follows:
- 12 in the Kirby of the Stars Pilot.
- 10 is the most common number, seen on the majority of sprites for Dark Matter and much artwork. Surprisingly, not all ten are ever seen at once, but Dark Matter is shown to be horizontally symmetrical, such as in Kirby Quest where Dark Matter shows nine fins while spacing would indicate ten.
- 8 is the second most common number, featured on certain sprites in Kirby's Dream Land 2, Kirby's Dream Land 3, and on the model for Dark Matter Clone in Kirby: Planet Robobot. Notably, these illustrations all have something to do with a frontal view and lobbing them as projectiles.
- 7 are seen on Gooey's Mock Matter form in Kirby's Dream Land 3.
- 6 are seen on Gooey's modern Mock Matter forms, as a Dress-Up Mask and a Dream Friend.
- 0 are found on the Dark Matter specimens that feature in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
Miscellaneous
For those ones you really just can't put anywhere else.
- Unlike Popstar, Halcandra is never called a "planet" in the user interface or dialogue of Kirby's Return to Dream Land. It is simply called "Halcandra" when over the map icon in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.
