This | This book was not officially published by Nintendo, so it is not necessarily considered [[canon]]. However, the January 2019 issue of ''Nintendo DREAM'' affirms that, at least in-house, the [[HAL Laboratory]] developers considered this to be Dark Matter's backstory.<ref>{{quote|最初に登場したダークマターには、友達が欲しくてちょっと寂しがりやなのでは…という設定も『星のカービィ2』開発当時の社内にあったようですので、今回のフレンズとハートの物語と親和性があるのではとも考えましたが、さすがにダークマターには今はまだ悪役を貫いてほしく (It seems that, when Dark Matter first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land 2, the developers had the idea that he was lonely and wanted to have friends. I thought there might be a link between this and the idea of "friends" and "hearts", but I'd like for Dark Matter to remain a villain for now.)|''Nintendo DREAM'', January 2019}}</ref> | ||
