Before collection, Keychains resemble silver, floating baubles with a blue core, having question marks on said cores. Connecting the main body and a star-shaped key ring is a metal ball chain (gold for the rarer counterpart). Keychains represent various [[sprite]]s from earlier sprite-based 2D Kirby adventures (as well as original artwork representing characters from non-sprite-based games ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'', ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', and ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''). Keychains can be viewed and looked at in closer detail in the Keychain Collection menu, accessible from either the file select screen or the Story Mode World Map. | Before collection, Keychains resemble silver, floating baubles with a blue core, having question marks on said cores.

Design-wise, several of the keychains are not identical to the original sprites and actually contain subtle differences. This is because, when the designers were searching for assets to use from previous titles, they were unable to find certain sprites and had to re-draw them from scratch (something which also applies to the Giant Scrolls in [[Lollipop Land - Stage 2]] and [[Royal Road - Stage 8 EX]]).<ref>{{cite|For the characters that appear in the Giant Scrolls that Kirby unrolls using Hypernova Inhale, we had a search inside the company for pixel assets and 3D models from previous games, and found some that we were able to reuse. However, we never did manage to find the assets for the background from the very first Kirby game. In the end, we got a designer who has worked on the Kirby titles for a long time to draw fresh assets from scratch!|[[Tadashi Kamitake]]|[[Miiverse]]}}</ref> | |||
There are 256 Keychains in total, and they come in two types: Normal and Rare (which are golden-colored with a rainbow core, and have golden wings in addition). Once the stage or mode is complete, any collected Keychains will be uncovered and added to the collection. Normal Keychains are randomly obtained. Generally, the selection will favor new kinds of Keychains, but it is possible to obtain the same type of Keychain more than once. Rare Keychains are unique, however, and can be found only in particular places in Story Mode, one in each stage (excluding Boss stages). After a Rare Keychain is collected, subsequent visits to that stage will have a normal Keychain in its spot; therefore, only one of each Rare Keychain can typically be collected. | There are 256 Keychains in total, and they come in two types: Normal and Rare (which are golden-colored with a rainbow core, and have golden wings in addition).
