Generally speaking, the series follows a linear continuity where episodes occur in chronological order; while the series is largely episodic, the story has a definite beginning and ending, and there are cases of story arcs occurring in multiple parts, as well as significant continuity changes — for example, King Dedede establishing a television channel in [[Un-Reality TV]] that appears in multiple later episodes, or obtaining the [[Royal Racecar]] in [[The Kirby Derby - Part I]] after his [[Armored Vehicle]] is destroyed. | ||
The anime also appears to be completely disconnected when it comes to events from games, as none are ever implied to have happened in any form. True to that, most characters | Furthermore, standalone episodes sometimes directly call back to the events of previous episodes, but usually only in a passing manner — for example, [[Mabel Turns the Tables]] references the events of [[Prediction Predicament - Part I]] as one of the times where Mabel made a successful prediction, and [[Tooned Out]] references the events of [[Cartoon Buffoon]] when explaining that King Dedede had previously made a cartoon. That said, the episode order in the anime is overall fluid, as most are self-contained stories that do not build from previous events, and some episodes end with significant continuity changes that are not resolved in the next episode (such as everybody forgetting about Kirby at the end of [[Escar-Gone]]). | ||
