* [[The Character Died with Him]]: Characters from ''Dream Land 2'', ''Dream Land 3'', and ''64'' have mostly been relegated to cameos or bit parts (if not dropped entirely) after director Shinichi Shimomura's death.
* [[Development Hell]]: Since ''Kirby's Air Ride'', HAL Laboratories have made repeated attempts to create a home console game for the ''Kirby'' series. The most known attempt was the [[Game Cube]] game, announced in 2004, and widely believed to be reincarnated as ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land|Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. However, [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/interview/sukj/vol1/index.html a recent interview] has revealed that the [[Game Cube]] game was the first of ''four'' attempts at a home console game, the final being ''Return to Dream Land''.
** ''Kirby Air Ride'' itself was trapped in [[Development Hell]] for quite some time. It was originally intended as a [[Nintendo 64]] game, but after spending many years in production it was quietly canceled. It was [[The Unexpected]] when it finally showed up as a [[Game Cube]] title at E3 2003.
* [[Executive Meddling]]: Rumor has it that Masahiro Sakurai left HAL because this happened during the development of ''Air Ride''.

** When the Nintendo 64 was in development and still called the Ultra 64, one title in development was ''Kirby Bowl 64'' -- ''Kirby Bowl'' being the Japanese name for ''Kirby's Dream Course''. The snowboarding mode it featured likely led to ''Kirby's Air Ride'' as described above.
** Also, ''Kirby's Tilt 'n' Tumble 2'' for the [[Game Cube]], using the [[Game Boy Advance]] and cable to control the same way as the original title.
** There were several attempts to make a console Kirby game for the [[Game Cube]] and later the [[Wii]]. The first of such attempts was shown in an E3 trailer, but this one fell through. The fourth attempt was finally released on the Wii as ''[[KirbysKirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILXkySK95po There was originally supposed to be a Kirby game for the Gamecube, but it never got released.]
** According to [http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/interview/sukj/vol1/index.html this interview], there were ''three'' other attempts at making a home console ''Kirby'' game. ''[[Kirbys Return to Dream Land|Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' is the fourth (and successful) attempt.
