+This post comments about Kirby's 24th anniversary because ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' released on April 28th, 2016 in Japan, a day after Kirby's 24th anniversary. This is likely why there was no special anniversary artwork for said anniversary, while the previous two anniversaries all got special Miiverse illustrations, and so did the one of the year after this one as well.

+In between these posts, there was a Japanese exclusive post that vaguely hinted that something special was being prepared. This post likely wasn't in the American and European communities due to time constraints, as it was posted just a week after the game had released in both regions.

 |Initially, we’d planned to call it “Kirby: HAGANE” (“hagane” is Japanese for “steel”), but as Popstar would be populated by robots, we then leaned towards “Kirby: Robot Planet”. As titles go, this was far too literal and lacked impact, so we changed it again to “Roborobo Planet”. One last tweak and the result was “Planet Robobot”, which is in keeping with the playfulness of the Kirby universe. The name for the “Robobot Armor” also came up around this time.

 |We were instructed by our producer to avoid any situation that might remind players of Triple Deluxe and I think that although this was a great idea, it was a nightmare to put into practice. We had limited development time and still had to make use of the assets from the previous game. Because we were using Triple Deluxe’s engine, a lot of the gameplay felt similar, so I was constantly fighting to preserve the Kirby series’ distinctive feel and yet produce something fresh and new. There were, of course, many things that I would have liked to refine or improve, but rather than regret not being able to address them, I try to use those shortcomings as motivation to look to the future and help myself do a better job next time. It’s a continuous process that never really ends.

 I put a lot of effort into these particular final boss themes. Here's a small piece of trivia for you: for track 094, I wanted a voice that sounded like a baby's cry, but somewhat different and inhuman. What you're actually hearing are the meows of my pet cat. The sound of the weathervane during battle in track 095 comes from chickens that a member of the sound team keeps at home.

 |That's quite a thing to spot. In Kirby's Adventure on the Famicom (NES), Meta Knight's eyes are indeed white. At that time, there was a limit to the number of colors you could use, so I think that white was chosen because it stood out more.
 They were also white in Kirby Super Star (EU: Kirby's Fun Pak), but when we created the 3D model for this game, giving him white eyes somehow didn't feel right. And besides, his eyes have always shone with a yellow glow from behind his mask. We were worried about how old-school fans might react to this, but for the purposes of the design, we settled on yellow eyes.

 I found myself laughing as soon as I looked at this shot. The idea of using the blocks in one of the secret HAL Rooms to spell something out - wow! There were a few submissions that used this idea, but takuya's was the first. The timing of Kirby's pose is great, too. I can almost hear him shouting "HA!"
-By the way, in recent titles, the bellow you hear when Kirby hits full volume using the Mike ability is voiced be me. Well, when I say "recent", I mean ever since Kirby Super Star Ultra, eight years ago. Time really flies, doesn't it? Ah...that takes me back!

+|Hi, everyone! Long time no see! This is Satoshi Ishida, from HAL Laboratory.
+I'd like to celebrate the recent release of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, a downloadable game for Nintendo 3DS, with a message from the game's director, Ms. Todo.
+"Hang on, wasn't the director Mr Kumazaki?" you ask. Well, yes, Mr Kumazaki was the GENERAL director, but the director for the minigame Team Kirby Clash, and subsequently for Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, was Ms Todo. So without further ado, I'm handing over to her.
+"Hello, I'm Yumi Todo.
+Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is a levelled up version of Team Kirby Clash, a minigame from Kirby: Planet Robobot, and it's available to download now!
+Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is a cooperative fighting game in which four Kirbys join forces to defeat powerful bosses. You start by picking one of four possible roles and then set out on a quest. Team Kirby Clash Deluxe can be played in single-player with CPU allies, and if you get a group together you can play via local wireless!
+All that's pretty much the same as Team Kirby Clash, but what's new in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is that you can choose your weapons and armor from over 80 different items!
+For intrepid Kirbys, I'd recommend the fiery sword known as the Crimson Blade, while those more concerned with style might like the fabulous, sparkly Magical Girl Coiffure.
+We've also added more quests, and this is the first time that you can fight for real against a certain someone. Who's that, you say? Have a closer look at the logo...
+----
+There are lots more great new features to discover in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, so I know some of you might be thinking: "How much is all this going to cost?"
+But here's the cool thing: it's Free-to-Start, and you can use in-game items called Gem Apples to help you progress through the adventure. Gem Apples can be harvested every day in the game, but are also obtainable by entering a password. We'll be releasing passwords in various places, so please keep an eye out for them!
+You can also purchase Gem Apples from the fair keeper of the Shop. For those who do not know, if you purchase a large amount of Gem Apples, the Gem Apple Tree will grow and give you more and more Gem Apples! However, this is only an option and is not required to play the game!
+As for upcoming games, we're going to let Kirby loose in a 3D world this summer in Kirby's Blowout Blast, and we're also planning an action fighting game for next winter.
+There are going to be lots of games to celebrate Kirby's 25th anniversary, so I hope you're excited!"
+That was all!
+I bet you're all intrigued by Kirby's Blowout Blast and this new action fighting game in the winter. But first, I hope you'll check out Team Kirby Clash Deluxe!

+|Hi everyone! Satoshi Ishida of HAL Laboratory here.
+It looks like it's that time of year again! That's right - April 27th was the anniversary of the release of the very first Kirby game, Kirby's Dream Land. (April 27th was the Japanese release date - Kirby didn't make it over to Americas until August.)
+To put it another way, it was Kirby's birthday! And this year was a particularly significant one, as it marked 25 years since Kirby came onto the scene!
+But, enough from me! Once again, the general director of the Kirby series, Shinya Kumazaki, is here with a few words to commemorate Kirby's birthday. So without any further ado I'll hand you over!
+"Hello! This is Shinya Kumazaki.
+Happy birthday, Kirby!!!<br>
+It's hard to believe that it's been 25 years since you came into this world.
+Our youthful traveller has been inhaling all manner of things and puffing up like a big balloon, right up to the ripe old age of 25. Kirby, you've become a fine, upstanding...adult?! I must say, your plump, pink form has taken on something of a refined glow recently.
+And to mark this auspicious occasion, we have no less than three new Kirby games for you to enjoy! The free-to-start Team Kirby Clash Deluxe co-op action game came out just recently, and this summer we're getting Kirby's Blowout Blast, the first genuine 3D action game in the series. On top of that, we have a new fighting action game due this holiday!
+How have you all been enjoying Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, by the way? Since the game came out I've been getting into it all over again, playing it with my family. I reckon seasoned players could have a lot of fun supporting their teammates by playing as Doctor Healmore.
+After you finish the game, incidentally, a certain someone shows up in the village, looking like quite the reformed character. Why not have a look for yourself!
+----
+Today I'm also going to tell you a password that you can use in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe!
+Here goes:<br>
+<nowiki>*</nowiki>drum roll*<br>
+'KIRBYBIRTHDAY'!
+That password can be used in game to get cool stuff like Gem Apples. Just be sure to use the password before April 26th, 2018, or it will expire. I hope you have fun using whatever you get, and don't forget to tell your friends who also have the game  so they can take advantage of this opportunity as well!
+I think that you'll all enjoy dashing around a 3D world in Kirby's Blowout Blast this summer, and that this holiday's new fighting action game will get you pumped!
+Kirby's taken on a lot of challenges over the course of his adventures, and after 25 years he's still going strong. Thanks for supporting Kirby so far, and I hope you continue to enjoy his exploits!"
+Thanks, Mr Kumazaki!
+To those of you playing Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, why not try using that password while connected to the internet? If you're not playing Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, it's free to download, and you can find out more about it on the official website or on Nintendo eShop.
+I hope you've enjoyed 25 fun years of the Kirby series, and are looking forward to good times yet to come!

+|Hello, everyone! Satoshi Ishida here, from HAL Laboratory. Kirby's Blowout Blast was recently released for Nintendo 3DS! On this occasion, I received a message and a drawing from the game's director, Mr. Kamiyama, and I wanted to pass them on to you!
+Aha! You spotted that Mr. Kumazaki wasn't the director for this one, did you?<br>
+That's right.  As you well know, Mr. Kumazaki is the general director, but it was actually Mr. Kamiyama who handled director duties on Kirby's Blowout Blast!
+Anyway, that's all from me for now. Allow me to pass it over to Mr. Kamiyama, so he can introduce Kirby's Blowout Blast! (And do give the man a round of applause!)
+"Hi! I'm Tatsuya Kamiyama, the game's director.
+Kirby's Blowout Blast, the first proper 3D action game in the Kirby series, is released today!
+Kirby's Blowout Blast is a direct descendant of Kirby 3D Rumble, a minigame found in Kirby: Planet Robobot, which we've improved and expanded, reimagining it as a download-only scrolling 3D action game.
+In this game you move freely around three-dimensional stages, inhaling and spitting out the many enemies that appear, making your way towards the goal.
+If Kirby inhales a lot of enemies, he'll grow bigger and bigger, and correspondingly more adorable. But cuteness isn't the only selling point here! The Blaster Bullets he can spit out in that form are also super powerful.
+Taking out many enemies at once with a well-placed Blaster Bullet is great fun, and the key to getting a high score!
+This is Kirby's first full step into the world of 3D, so we went back to the series' roots, and designed the game with a lot of inspiration from the first Kirby game. We wanted to create a game that really captured the fun of inhaling stuff and then spitting it out.
+By transporting the game into 3D, the boss enemies you know and love from that first game were given a new lease of life, with new and exciting ways to fight them.
+Kirby 3D Rumble, which provided the groundwork upon which this game was built, was a real challenge for the team here.
+----
+Kirby's Blowout Blast uses that minigame's systems as a starting point, and enhances the action elements to make it a challenging new standalone product that could almost be considered an entry in the main series of Kirby games. I hope you'll all enjoy your time with it!
+Lastly, I wanted to pass on to you a password that you can use in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe! It is:
+"BLOWOUTBLAST"<br>
+(valid until July 3, 2018)
+As you can probably tell from the fact that we prepared a password, the cooperation here at Team Kirby is alive and well.
+In addition, we are planning to release an action fighting game this coming winter, and a main-series Kirby game for the Nintendo Switch in 2018.
+For 25 years now, more and more people have been enjoying the Kirby series - I hope you all continue to do so!"
+And that's it from Mr. Kamiyama!
+I believe that as you play and replay Kirby's Blowout Blast, you'll each discover your own preferred way to play, and it makes me happy. I hope you enjoy this new challenge!
