Regardless, the regional difference has been solidified in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' onwards by making the item distinctly different in appearance between versions. | ||

In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', it appears in the episode [[Dedede's Raw Deal]], in its original form as a roasted sweet potato. However, its hiccuping powers come as a hindrance rather than a help to Kirby this time around. In the episode, Kirby eats it off of a sushi revolver. He is then attacked by an overgrown [[Squishy]], and his [[inhale|inhaling]] powers are prevented by the hiccups that result from eating the sweet potato. As such, he starts off on the losing side of the battle. However, [[Tiff]] scares his wits out by saying he'll starve if his hiccups don't cease, which makes Kirby (who is known for his gluttonous nature) jump in fear and release his hiccups. | In ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', it appears in the episode [[Dedede's Raw Deal]], in its original form as a roasted sweet potato.
