* The world map in [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]] functions very similarly to the world maps in [[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 3|''Super Mario Bros. 3'']]. Furthermore, the moving "E" symbol behaves similarly to the latter's [[mariowiki:Hammer Bro|Hammer Bros.]] [[mariowiki:Enemy Course|Enemy Course]] symbol on the map. | * The world map in [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]] functions very similarly to the world maps in [[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 3|''Super Mario Bros. 3'']].

* The first room in [[Peanut Plains]] is structured in a similar vein to the opening room of the first level in [[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 2|''Super Mario Bros. 2'']], as both have the player descend down a mountain-like set of platforms before entering a door on the bottom of the room. The resemblance is made more noticeable in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', as the colors of the terrain bear more of a resemblance to those found in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. | * The first room in [[Peanut Plains]] is structured in a similar vein to the opening room of the first level in [[mariowiki:Super Mario Bros. 2|''Super Mario Bros. 2'']], as both have the player descend down a mountain-like set of platforms before entering a door on the bottom of the room.

**Additionally, in ''Kirby Super Star'', the second room in [[???]] bears resemblance to Subspace as it appears in the NES version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', with the terrain entirely set in silhouette against a solid-color background. This resemblance is less noticeable in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'', as it now uses a nighttime version of the grassland tileset. | ** Additionally, in ''Kirby Super Star'', the second room in [[???]] bears resemblance to Subspace as it appears in the NES version of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', with the terrain entirely set in silhouette against a solid-color background.

* The ending theme of [[Revenge of Meta Knight]] - [[My Friend and the Sunset]] - is partially based on the traditional folk song "[[wikipedia:The House of the Rising Sun|The House of the Rising Sun]]", particularly the 1964 blues cover by British rock band The Animals. The credits sequence, which features [[Wheelie Rider]] Kirby riding through a barren desert at sunset, appears to be a reference to the [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Bf1tZwNNQ credits sequence] of the 1971 anime ''[[wikipedia:Lupin the Third Part I|Lupin the Third Part I]]''. | * The ending theme of [[Revenge of Meta Knight]] - [[My Friend and the Sunset]] - is partially based on the traditional folk song "[[wikipedia:The House of the Rising Sun|The House of the Rising Sun]]", particularly the 1964 blues cover by British rock band The Animals.
