The episode begins at [[Castle Dedede]], where [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] recaps the events of [[Cartoon Buffoon]] to the [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]] and asks if he could try again, but this time with a professional animation team provided by [[Night Mare Enterprises]]. Through the [[Monster Delivery System]] comes three geeky-looking kids named [[Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy]]. The Sales Guy reminds King Dedede that these three are employees under contract and not [[monster]]s, and signs off. King Dedede and [[Escargoon]] get to work debriefing these three on their idea for the cartoon and show them their previous effort from Cartoon Buffoon as a reference, but they seem more interested in [[Tiff]] and decide to make the cartoon about her instead. Over King Dedede and Escargoon's objections, the animators head out to find Tiff so they can get a better reference. Out in the countryside, Tiff, [[Tuff]], and [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] are having a picnic, but Tiff is continually distracted by ruffling in the bushes. As Tuff and Kirby head out to play hide-and-seek, Tiff notices a small microphone attached to her picnic box. She starts to become nervous as Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy stalk her just out of sight, looking to obtain more of her voice clips for their purposes. They continue to stalk her through the evening, but she manages to spot them outside her bedroom window that night.

As time passes, Tiff and her friends wonder where the three animators ended up. [[Meta Knight (anime character)|Meta Knight]] shows up and tells them that King Dedede has the three animators locked up in his dungeon. Hearing this, Tiff and company rush to the castle to berate King Dedede for what he is doing, and tell him that he is not necessarily going to get the cartoon he wants, and after checking their work, Dedede realizes she is right. With little other recourse due to the tight deadline, King Dedede tries to negotiate with the Sales Guy again, and request for a new animator to speed things up. Through the Night Mare Enterprises Teleporter comes the legendary animator [[Anige|Dis Walney]], who Tiff and Tuff turn out to be huge fans of. When King Dedede tells Dis what the deadlines are, he suggests using CGI to speed up the process, and sets up a motion-capture studio. After applying several optical sensors to King Dedede, he starts to make progress as King Dedede's movements are transmitted to his computer and made into a rendering of the King in 3D. Tiff objects to the idea of replacing artists with motion capture technology, but does not get far before Dis hooks up Kirby as well and gets him ready for the show. Dis Walney then tells Kirby and King Dedede to act like they are battling, but King Dedede decides not to merely act, and starts clobbering Kirby repeatedly with his hammer. Dis tells Dedede to keep it up, as the kids watch in concern. Tiff then concludes that this cannot possibly be the real Dis Walney, and turns out to be correct, as the disguise is thrown off to reveal the computer monster [[Anige]].

Anige then proceeds to transform his equipment so that he can control the actions of the two "actors". He forces King Dedede to continue hammering Kirby while at the same time forcing the poor pink puffball to be unable to move or resist the attack. After receiving even more punishment, Kirby is knocked into the ceiling, and when he falls back down, the sensors fall off of him. Tiff tries to run in at this moment to help, but Meta Knight stops her and instead tells Kirby to inhale the defective sensors to gain the [[Spark]] [[Copy Ability]]. Using this ability, Kirby quickly overwhelms Anige and destroys him. As the group recovers from the explosion, King Dedede and Escargoon realize that there is not much time left before the cartoon is supposed to air. He rushes to check in on Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy, and see that they managed to complete their cartoon just in time. Not caring what the cartoon contains, King Dedede puts it on the reel and sets it up for live broadcast. As everyone gathers to watch the animation, Tiff compliments Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy for getting it done so fast, but soon regrets doing so when she sees the way they depicted her and chopped up her voice clips. After enduring it for a moment, Tiff loses her temper and chases after the three animators using King Dedede's hammer. The episode ends as Kirby joins in the chase, thinking it to be a game.

[[File:E89 Removed Scene.png|thumb|150px|Japanese-exclusive scene of part of the Tiff cartoon.]]

===Differences in the Japanese version===

*The scene where [[Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy]] are talking about their plans to make [[Tiff]] the star is longer.

*The scene where Tiff tells everyone about her stalkers is longer.

*The cartoon about Tiff is longer and features different dialogue. Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy refer to it as "Fumu-''tan'' of the Stars", and sing a parody of [[Kirby ★ March|the series' theme song]] with modified lyrics about Tiff. Because of this, it is more apparent that the trio intended to make a "sexy" anime about Tiff, an implication which is toned down in the English dub and subsequent dubs based upon it.

*When King Dedede rushes to find Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy after talking to the [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]], part of the shot is upside down. This was fixed in the English dub and all subsequent dubs based on it.

===Dialogue differences in the Japanese version===

*King Dedede mentions that his animation aspirations had "gone with the wind" while the recap montage shows the scene in [[Waddle While You Work]] that references ''[[wikipedia:Gone with the Wind (film)|Gone with the Wind]]''.

*Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy are more secretive about their plans to make a "sexy" Tiff cartoon, and do not explicitly tell King Dedede and Escargoon about their plans before leaving the castle. Escargoon later comments that they might be savants.

*During the picnic, Tiff comments that the heat makes her feel like wanting to take off her clothes. This line is later used by Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy in their cartoon of her.

*When Tiff tells everyone about her stalkers, Mabel comments, saying that there are some really persistent men out there. This line makes Samo uncomfortable, due to his insecurity regarding her. [[Lady Like]] then tells a story about how [[Sir Ebrum]] used to do the same thing.

*When [[Chief Bookem]] gathers everyone to discuss plans for Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy's cartoon, he has to correct himself before he calls it "mob justice".

*The Japanese version makes several references to popular media when the characters propose their anime ideas:

**The character Mayor Len proposes is called "Wooltaro", a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Hamtaro|Hamtaro]]''.

**[[Iro]] proposes a robot character called "Ovangelidan", a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Neon Genesis Evangelion|Neon Genesis Evangelion]]''.

**[[Doctor Yabui]] proposes an idea for a medical anime called "White Jack", a reference to ''[[wikipedia:Black Jack (manga)|Black Jack]]''.

**Honey proposes an idea similar to ''[[wikipedia:Kiki's Delivery Service|Kiki's Delivery Service]]''.

*The [[N.M.E. Sales Guy]] tells King Dedede and Escargoon that the cartoon has to be ready in a week, rather than two days in the English version. This is notable, as the episodes of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' were produced on a weekly basis, but King Dedede insists it cannot be done anyway.

*Meta Knight does not specifically say that Biggy, Boney, and Sleepy were locked in the dungeon, but merely hints that King Dedede is acting suspiciously.

*[[Spark]] Kirby shouts "SPARK!!" and "DOUBLE SPARK!!" when attacking.

*In addition to the examples listed above that are exclusive to the Japanese version, the English version contains references to popular media as well:

**Gangu proposes an anime where a space hero fights monsters only to find out that he is actually a toy, referencing the plot of ''[[wikipedia:Toy Story|Toy Story]]''.

**Professor Curio proposes "Curio Jones", which is inspired by ''[[wikipedia:Indiana Jones|Indiana Jones]]''.

*After Anige is destroyed, the Sun rises and Escargoon panics about missing the deadline, while holding an alarm clock announcing that only five minutes remain before the anime is due. It shows the time as 7:25, which means the deadline is 7:30, when ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' itself aired in Japan.

*The [[Island Sisters]], [[Kit Cosmos]], [[Knuckle Joe]]'s father, [[Yamikage]] and some [[Star Warrior]]s appear as small toys or figures. Many of these are the capsule figures from [[Snack Attack - Part I]].
