Discord, a popular chat platform, used to feature numerous ''Kirby'' cameos before it rebranded to appear more inclusive to non-gaming communities. The client's mascot, Wumpus, could be seen riding a fast motorized unicycle of likeness to [[Wheelie Rider]], and through a forest which included [[Whispy Woods]], in Discord's Nitro subscription-related pages.<ref>[https://archive.vn/BeqVT Nitro Benefits and Features - Discord]</ref> Features of the subscription such as custom emojis and extended upload limits were promoted with pictures of Wumpus riding a [[Warp Star]] and a chest containing a [[Maxim Tomato]]. The [[Mirror]] ability's magic rod was also used as a background placeholder in the client's Webhook tab, for when a Discord server does not yet have any webhooks. The client is known for having featured various references to Nintendo franchises. Wumpus riding a Warp Star and the Maxim Tomato in the chest are still visible on the Nitro pop-up feature list on the mobile app.
