**In the Japanese, Chinese, and Korean versions, the Special Pages give titles to several of the bosses, similar to ''Kirby Star Allies'' and ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. This was largely removed from the other localizations, which instead work the titles into the actual text.

*''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' has [[amiibo]] functionality, allowing the player to scan in figures to get items during stages.

*[[The True Arena]] adds the six bosses from Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler, so it now has 21 rounds, up from 15 in the original.

*A new [[HAL Room]] has been added to the Story Mode and Extra Mode, in [[Dangerous Dinner - Stage 2]].

**Certain areas in stages, such as caves and dark places, now add dampening and reverb effects to the music and other sound effects.

**The music and sound effects also muffle if Kirby enters water, much like in ''Kirby Star Allies''.

**[[Welcome Your New Overlord]] was slightly remixed to make the song's guitar solo more prominent.

*There are several new or repurposed songs interspersed within the game, such as [[HAL Room]]s playing music from ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' rather than the version of "[[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens]]" from the [[Item Challenge]], and [[HR-D3]]'s second phase playing "[[King Dedede's Theme#Kirby and the Forgotten Land|Roar of Dedede]]" instead of "[[Guardian Angel: Landia]]".

*Kirby and other characters have new voice clips, with the Super Abilities in particular each having distinct shouts associated with them.

**In the original game, the low-pitched "Chesto!" exclamation when Kirby uses the [[Mike]] ability's Encore move was a modified voice clip from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. The remake reuses the equivalent voice clip from ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', like in the other main series games since then, and as such has increased reverb.

**Kirby shouts "Hi!" when he beats a stage, as with ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' onward.

*Some characters who have reappeared in later games have had their designs updated to match, including enemies such as [[Poppy Bros. Jr.]] and [[Walf]]. Others, such as [[Gigant Edge]] and [[Gigatzo]], use upscaled versions of their original designs.

*Certain Copy Abilities have been visually redesigned, particularly ones that appeared in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. [[Wing]]'s hat has also been redesigned to give it less of a resemblance to a warbonnet.

*[[Merry Magoland]] can now be seen in the background of [[Nutty Noon - Stage 1]].

**The classic Super Ability animations are retained for the boss fight against Magolor and Magolor EX.

*When enemies are hit by Super Ability attacks, they now have a chance to [[Fourth wall|"splat" against the screen]].

==Trivia==

**However, the Japanese title is still {{furi|星|ほし}}のカービィ{{furi|Wii|ウィー}} デラックス (''Kirby of the Stars Wii Deluxe'') even though it is not on the Wii system. The developers were worried if keeping "Wii" in the name would confuse customers, and even considered giving the game a brand new name like New {{furi|星|ほし}}のカービィ (''New Kirby of the Stars''), or adding a subtitle, like the novel "''[[Kirby: Lor Starcutter and a Magician of Falsehood]]''", but they decided to use "Wii" in the end, as they ended up agreeing that it would make it clearer that the game was a deluxe version of the original Wii game.<ref>[https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2023/04/07/translation-of-the-kirbys-return-to-dream-land-deluxe-interview-from-the-may-2023-edition-of-nintendo-dream/ Nintendo Dream interview about Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, May 2023 (translation)]</ref> The "Wii" subtitle also carried over to the Korean and Chinese names.

*The internal codename for this game is "Ark", referencing the [[Lor Starcutter]]. Elements related to Merry Magoland are codenamed "YY" after the Japanese title and elements related to Magolor Epilogue are codenamed "Maho" after the first two syllables of Magolor's Japanese name.
