- ...Kirby can cause the fuse for a cannon to burn faster by ducking inside it in Kirby and the Forgotten Land?
- ...there is an unlockable "Dance Select" menu in Kirby's Dream Course that allows the player to see every individual Kirby Dance in the game?
- ...Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe was the first remake of a previous Kirby game to add new Copy Abilities to the original roster (specifically, Mecha and Sand)?
Collapsible Template:Mature
Made for a start, in regard of the ongoing referendum. If you can, feel free to improve them. Regardless of what comes out of the spoiler referendum, I expect something like this to be used for mature sections anyway. –Wiz (talk · edits) 17:18, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Responsive
The only caveat of this responsive style is that it needs the CSS extension tag to adapt the width specifically better when the screen is smaller.
<!--
-->{{#css: @media (max-width: 768px) { .evolutions-box { width: 200px } } }}<!--
-->
TL;DR: when the screen is smaller than 768px width, the boxes (which have a class called evolutions-box will have a fixed width of 200px. If this is not applied, the responsive behaviour is not lost, but the boxes will fill 100% of the width left.

- Hi. Did you get an email asking you to verify your account? If not, you might want to try again. --Samwell (talk) 21:15, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- I did but even when I verify it it doesn't work. Unrelated question: where is the Kirby face used in the Samwell Mass Attack from? Thanks!
- In that case, you might want to try making another account. If that doesn't work either, let us know what the account's name was and we'll have a look. Also, the image in question comes from Island of the Lost Warrior, from the anime series. I used it as my profile picture on the Discord for a while, so it became associated with me. --Samwell (talk) 00:05, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
- Yay I think I know how chat chains work now. I have now requested as Sketch388 and its just to my school email incase that's like an issue or sumthin :P.
- Alright, I've approved your account. Keep in mind that you'll need to make 5 edits and wait 24 hours until you can edit without being moderated. Welcome aboard! --Samwell (talk) 01:34, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Kirby Sound/Music Gear Draft
It's widely known that musicians started to rely heavily on sampling and other electronic hardware in the 80s, this is a process that started in the late 70s with samplers like the Fairlight CMI as it was cheaper and easier than hiring instrument players. Videogames weren't the exception to this, as sampling in videogames was starting to get more common due to technological advancements in the industry. HAL Laboratory's composers have used many pieces of gear for their music since the late 80s, be it samplers, sound modules, synthesizers or real instruments. This page documents all of the known sound gear that composers at HAL Laboratory (such as Jun Ishikawa and Hirokazu Ando) have used specifically throughout the Kirby series' music. Official sources for these are referenced if available.
List
"Since" is based on first recorded usage (independent of it being in a Kirby game or not).

Noteworthy Sound Samples
A few recurring sound samples have become famous in popular media and the VGM scene for providing the "Kirby sound palette" many fans adore:
(Audio Here) Roland U-220 - P-21: Syn.Vox 1 [021]
This sample is commonly called SARARR or ARR1 and it's as old as 1979, originating in the Fairlight CMI factory library and then borrowed by Roland. This sample is famous for being heavily used by Jun Ishikawa in almost every Kirby game he has composed for (with its first usage actually being in Alcahest). This sample is a staple of 80s music and was really popular among musicians. A few common examples of this sample in pop culture are Jean-Michel Jarre's Zoolook, Tears For Fears's Shout and Art of Noise's Moments in Love.
(Audio Here) Roland D-20 - I-A53: Pan Pipes
This panflute preset was commonly used by Jun Ishikawa in the 90s, starting with Arcana and lastly in Kirby's Dream Land 3. This one is also famous (more specifically, the PCM sample at the beginning is, as the rest is synthesized) in pop culture, as it was also part of the Fairlight CMI factory library, with its original name being "SWANEE" (although Roland calls it "Steamer"). A common (and really noticeable) example of it in pop culture would be its usage in the Rugrats Intro.
(Audio Here) Roland D-20 - P-51: UserPattern
This percussion kit was prominently used by HAL in the NES games they developed in the 90s, noticeably Adventures of Lolo III, Uchuu Keibitai SDF, New Ghostbusters II, and most importantly: Kirby's Adventure.
(Audio Here) Roland SN-U110-10 Rock Drums - 10-002 ELEC DRUMS
Another percussion kit, this is probably the most well known one, as it's the source for the many percussion sounds used in Kirby games since the 90s.
(Audio Here) Roland U-220 - P-41: Fantasia [041]
Another very famous sound. Originating in Roland's D-50 synthesizer, this sound became another staple of 80s and early 90s music, and numerous other sound companies tried to imitate it. Jun Ishikawa used this sound for the first time in Milky_Way_Wishes_(theme), and is the only usage it was given in Kirby Super Star, nonetheless, it was heavily used throughout Kirby's Dream Land 3's soundtrack. It was re-recorded and used again in the GBA and DS games. The SNES version of the sample made one last appearance in the Kirby's Return to Dream Land soundtrack.

Trivia
- The kick and snare samples used in the NES games (like Kirby's Adventure) actually made it into the SNES once: They are heard throughout the Arcana soundtrack.
- HAL Laboratory and Dice co-developed the videogame Vegas Stakes, thus several classic HAL Laboratory sound samples were used in that game, but the story doesn't end there: Othello World, a game only developed by Dice (no involvement with HAL), also uses many samples from HAL (that were also used in Kirby games), which were most likely taken from their Vegas Stakes development branch.
- Due to HAL Laboratory co-developing Kirby and the Amazing Mirror alongside DIMPS and Flagship, numerous samples from that game ended up in games developed by DIMPS that had no involvement with HAL, most noticeably Dragon Ball: Advanced Adventure, as many Kirby samples (even ones that were originally lifted from Kirby 64) can be heard throughout its soundtrack.
- Numerous "retro" samples used in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and subsequent 3DS games are directly taken from the SNES, N64, GBA and DS games, they weren't re-recorded from their original hardware.
- Vienna Symphonic Library is the only sample library officially credited in the booklet of a few Kirby soundtracks, this is because it was mandatory after purchase. Releases had to have "Orchestral samples in this recording from the Vienna Symphonic Library" in them.
