'''Kirby's History''' is one of the three main modes selectable from the main menu in ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]''. In this game mode, [[Kirby]] walks through a long and lavishly-decorated hallway to look at all of the games in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] that had been released up to that point (2012), as well as a few extra items. Each game or item comes with a description, along with a view of the box art and some demo snippets of the game or media in question. Additionally, a collection of real-world events are mentioned as trivia points to give additional context to each year represented in the hallway. The hall itself has a stop for each year between 1992 (the release of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'') and 2012 (the release of ''Kirby's Dream Collection''), with an additional stop for years prior to 1992.

The hall itself has a stop for each year between 1992 (the release of ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'') and 2012 (the release of ''Kirby's Dream Collection''), with an additional stop for years prior to 1992. Most of the tall pillars in the hallway are topped with golden statues of Kirby, but statues of Rick, Kine, Coo and a Waddle Dee also appear on the pillars; these are randomly placed every time the mode is loaded.

The music that plays in this hallway is a re-orchestrated medley of the [[Castle Lololo (theme)|Castle Lololo theme]] and the [[Cloudy Park (theme from Kirby's Dream Land 2)|Cloudy Park theme]] from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]''. This particular arrangement would appear again as the theme for the [[Game Over|Continue]] screen in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', the normal credits theme for ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' and as the results music for [[Team Kirby Clash]] in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. When selecting an item in the hall, the music that plays in that item's sub-menu will persist after returning to the hall until another item is chosen.
