*The concept of a full 3D ''Kirby'' game was likely the inspiration for the 3D environments in the sub-game [[Kirby 3D Rumble]], and later in ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]'' and ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', and would ultimately be reali{{z}}ed in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3LAkr0ANgw Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Announcement Trailer – Nintendo Switch]</ref> | *The concept of a full 3D ''Kirby'' game was likely the inspiration for the 3D environments in the sub-game [[Kirby 3D Rumble]], and later in ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]'' and ''[[Kirby Battle Royale]]'', and would ultimately be reali{{z}}ed in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3LAkr0ANgw Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Announcement Trailer – Nintendo Switch]</ref> | ||
*Much of the music and other assets developed for ''Kirby for Nintendo GameCube'' would be used in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]'', most noticeably "[[Road to Victory]]" (used for [[The Arena]]).

Additionally, several models and sounds in ''{{KRtDL KAW}}''{{'}}s files use the header "GCK", presumably for "GameCube Kirby", indicating that they were originally planned for use in this title. | ||

Brawl]]'' appear to use assets from this title, with models such as [[Golem]] and the [[Fire]] hat, which has a hexagonal jewel rather than the circular one in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', being direct matches. | *The ''Kirby'' series trophies in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

*The [[Water]] ability was originally planned to debut in this game, with a different design more closely matching its appearance in the anime; it ended up debuting in ''{{KRtDL KAW}}'' instead. | *The [[Water]] ability was originally planned to debut in this game, with a different design more closely matching its appearance in the anime; it ended up debuting in ''{{KRtDL KAW}}'' instead. |
