**Two songs in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' are named '''ティンクル☆スターズ''' (''Tinkuru Sutāzu'', "[[Twinkle☆Stars]]") and '''ティンクル☆トラベラー''' (''Tinkuru Toraberā'', "[[Twinkle☆Traveler]]"), referencing "Twinkle☆Popo". The Japanese name for the [[Star Allies Sparkler]], '''ティンクルスターアライズ''' (''Tinkuru Sutā Araizu'', "Twinkle Star Allies"), also references this name. | **Two songs in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' are named '''ティンクル☆スターズ''' (''Tinkuru Sutāzu'', "[[Twinkle☆Stars]]") and '''ティンクル☆トラベラー''' (''Tinkuru Toraberā'', "[[Twinkle☆Traveler]]"), referencing "Twinkle☆Popo".

*The international box art has a few oddities: most infamously, Kirby is colored white, despite being pink on the Japanese cover art. This trait also extends to the North American TV ad, which carries over Kirby's design from the international box art. In addition, an unknown enemy that could be taken as [[Booler]] appears, if not for the nose, eyeballs and its worm-like appearance rather than a ghost-alike. Others include [[Gordo]] having a mouth and [[Bronto Burt]] having a nose. | *The international box art has a few oddities: most infamously, Kirby is colored white, despite being pink on the Japanese cover art.

**The reason for Kirby's white design is unclear. [[Satoru Iwata]] considered the change to relate to Western marketing<ref>{{cite person|quote=In addition, some people in the Western market said a pink soft character floating in air would never be accepted.
