The earliest mention ever of ''Kid Kirby'' dates back to 1994-1995, where it was said to be in development around the time [[Wikipedia:All New World of Lemmings|Lemmings 3]] was developed. It was said by ex-DMA Design developer "Mike Dailly" that [[Nintendo]] was very fed up with the game and cancelled it.<ref name="Twitter PM with 'Mike Dailly'">Twitter PM with "Mike Dailly" ([https://www.twitter.com/mdf200 @mdf200]) by WiKirby editor Meeper12346, on Imgur [https://i.imgur.com/PzALziu.png (1)] [https://i.imgur.com/2x6jAX2.png (2)]</ref> The poor sales of the Super NES Mouse and the fact that the game could never be played well with traditional joypad controls were some of the reasons that led to the game's inevitable cancellation.<ref>[https://www.gamasutra.com/php-bin/news_index.php?story=12190 "Playing Catch Up: GTA/Lemmings' Dave Jones" on Gamasutra]</ref> The game was covered by Club Nintendo Mexico in the July 1995 issue, which also included promotional artwork for the game including its box art.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20170918160230/https://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/104946-kid-kirby-the-super-nintendo-game-that-never-was/kk3-noscale.jpg Archived Club Nintendo Mexico July 1995 scan from Destructoid]</ref> | The earliest mention ever of ''Kid Kirby'' dates back to 1994-1995, where it was said to be in development around the time [[Wikipedia:All New World of Lemmings|Lemmings 3]] was developed.

The storyline of ''Kid Kirby'', as told from the perspective of an older [[Kirby]], stars a younger version of himself, who is featured in a more-purple hue with one strand of curly hair. The story would've been similar to ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', where the [[Star Rod]] is stolen once again from the [[Fountain of Dreams]] and Kirby has to go get it back | The storyline of ''Kid Kirby'', as told from the perspective of an older [[Kirby]], stars a younger version of himself, who is featured in a more-purple hue with one strand of curly hair.

Additionally, some of the apparent new enemies of the game are a walking fire-like enemy and an unknown octopus-inspired creature. A photo album theme for the menu interface was used for the game, to be more in line with the fact that it's about Kirby's past memories.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090421105228/http://dudleysoft.org/blog/?page_id=5 Archived page from James Watson (DudleySoft)'s blog]</ref> | ||
