Trivia
- Another bow & arrow-based Copy Ability, Archer, was introduced in Kirby: Triple Deluxe.
- In some spin-offs like Kirby Mass Attack, Kirby Fighters Deluxe, and Kirby Fighters 2, when a Kirby is defeated and fainted, an angel-like spirit will be released out of his body which resembles Cupid Kirby but is ghostly white and without the bow and arrow.
- In the Japanese games, the pause description describes that the Cupid ability is like a demon, which is possibly a homage to Kirby's alias "The Pink Demon".[1]
- Cupid Kirby appears on the cover art and commercials of Kirby & The Amazing Mirror.
