*The developers of ''{{KSqS KMoA}}'' had difficulty designing a hat for the Bubble ability, due to foam and bubbles not having fixed shapes. They ultimately decided to base it on a children's shower cap, but they were worried if it was being sold at the time the game was being developed, so they went window shopping to see if they still existed.<ref>{{Cite|With the Bubble ability, it was difficult to know what form Kirby should take when using it. Foam and bubbles obviously have no fixed shape and that caused all sorts of trouble for us. So we made Kirby wear a kind of ring-shaped shower cap [used by children in Japan when they wash their hair to keep the soap out of their eyes, Ed.]. Then someone would argue: "But Kirby doesn't have any hair!" And someone else would respond: "Yes, but think about the soap! If it gets in his eyes, it's going to hurt!" (laughter) This kind of shower cap is something that's completely normal to people of our generation, but we were concerned it wasn't really used by people nowadays. We ended up checking shop windows to see if they still existed...|Masanobu Yamada|[https://www.nintendo.co.uk/News/2007/Interview-Kirby-Mouse-Attack-pt-1-249643.html Interview with the ''Kirby Mouse Attack'' Development Team]}}</ref> | *The developers of ''{{KSqS KMoA}}'' had difficulty designing a hat for the Bubble ability, due to foam and bubbles not having fixed shapes.

*Interestingly, the sprite for the Bubble ability's hat in ''{{KSqS KMoA}}'' seems to have slight design differences from that of the one featured in artwork, as the sprite features what looks like a crown on Kirby's head, similar to various elemental abilities such as [[Fire]] or [[Ice]], despite the hat not having any sort of crown-like design elsewhere, with the shower cap part of hat also looking very different design-wise. | |||
