*According to a Miiverse post by the developers, a working title considered for the game was 大激闘!桃色武道大会<ref>https://kirbydevpostarchive.tumblr.com/post/166090209346/hal-laboratory-%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B7%E3%83%80hallaboratory-07222015-600</ref> (''Royal Rampage!

In the end, they decided to go with a simple title that would clearly communicate the idea behind the game.

*Most, if not all of the moves in this game that had invincibility frames in games prior (Hammer Twirl and Hammer Swing, for example) no longer make the user invincible during regular battles, a trait that also occurs in the other Kirby Fighters games. However, the invincibility frames are retained during boss fights.

However, the invincibility frames are retained during boss fights.
**Oddly enough, one exception to this major change is Bell Kirby's Bell Block move, which retains invincibility frames as Kirby gets out of his bell hat when letting go of the guard button, allowing him to avoid many attacks that others wouldn't after guarding.
