*The Latin script logo for this game features a new version of the main ''Kirby'' series title font. It now uses the Seurat Pro EB typeface rather than the Helvetica Rounded Bold typeface, which had been used in all main ''Kirby'' games since ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land]]''{{'}}s release in 2002. The new logo font can also be seen in [[:File:Kirby 30th Anniversary logo.png|the 30th anniversary logo]].
*The internal codename for this game is "Kirby15" or "K15", which refers to this being the 15th main-series ''Kirby'' game, counting remakes. This also breaks the tradition started with ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'' of giving each game a food-related codename.
*Several parts of the game feature an alien language that, when deciphered, is actually a direct 1:1 translation to English. This reveals some details about the setting, in particular highlighting three corporations whose branding can be found on many signs: "Holine", "Alivel", and "Lightron". Put together, the first letters of these corporations spell out [[HAL Laboratory|HAL]].

*''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' is the first main-series game to feature spoken dialogue, though this only applies to the intercom voice heard in [[Lab Discovera]]. Almost all languages the game was translated in have unique dubs, but the Traditional and Simplified Chinese versions do not; these versions use the English voice instead.
