Line 1:
{{tropework}}
* As seen in [http://i.imgur.com/GJEdi.jpg this image], many of the stone transformations are [[Call Back|Call Backs]] to other [[The Cameo|characters]] and elements of the series, with some of the forms like the block with the gold star, the weight, and the bodybuilder coming directly from ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'' and the Master Hand transformation being a reference to ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', with him previously appeared in ''[[Kirby and The Amazing Mirror]]''.
* Many riffs from KSS' theme appear in several endgame tracks, including the ever-present Milky Way Wishes fanfare.
* The {{spoiler|sudden SHUMP level before the final boss is reminiscent of the Nova sequence from Milky Way Wishes.}}
* As mentioned below, {{spoiler|Magolor's}} final form is referred to as {{spoiler|Magolor Soul}} in Extra Mode, a nod to Drawcia and Marx. In addition, {{spoiler|Magolor's}} first form is reminiscent of Nightmare, and {{spoiler|Magolor Soul's}} mouth forms a large eye similar to Dark Matter and Zero. His second form in normal mode has one too, although it's a lot less noticeable, only visible in certain attacks.
* {{spoiler|Magolor's}} battle music also contains a couple of [[Call Back|Call Backs]] to previous bosses. {{spoiler|His}} first form has a loose variation of Dark Matter's theme from Dream Land 3, while {{spoiler|Magolor Soul's}} music is reminiscent of Nightmare's, and around the 1:50 mark contains the triumphant fanfare from Milky Way Wishes.
* There are some [[Recurring Riff|Recurring Riffs]] that are heard in the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=160KrZAERaM credits]. The Milky Way Wishes ending theme and the trailer music for the cancelled Kirby GCN can be heard in it near the end, and are sprinkled throughout the song.
Line 20:
* One of King Doo's [[Palette Swap|Palette Swaps]] resembles the Dark Matter Trilogy [[Big Bad]], Zero.
* The tune that plays when the game is selected on the Wii Menu is a shortened form of the title screen music from the original game, Kirby's Dream Land.
* The map for Cookie Country is ''very'' similar to [[KirbysKirby's Adventure|Vegetable Valley]].
* Fatty Puffer's name references Fatty Whale, a similarly large aquatic boss from ''Kirby Super Star'' (although Puffer is based on a fish and Whale on, obviously, a mammal).
* Whispy Woods EX is purple-themed, like his "Revenge" form in ''[[Kirby Super Star|Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' and several attacks of his are the same (the poisoned apples and tornado spitting). Also, as a very obscure retro callback to the original ''Kirby's Dream Land'' game, his pointy nose does damage if you touch it which was an [[Early Installment Weirdness]] thing he had.
* If Kirby jumps into an enemy from directly below them, the enemy will be hurt, similarly to Kirby's Dreamland 3 and Kirby 64.
* If Mike Kirby's last attack is charged up, he yells "CHESTO!" in an incredibly deep voice, similarly to Mike Kirby's last attack in ''Super Star''.
