*Among the six AR Cards packed with any Nintendo 3DS system is one depicting Kirby. Scanning the card allows the player to take photos with Kirby. Additionally, the player can change Kirby's pose, with there being five poses in total: a default pose based on a render from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', a pose depicting Kirby doodling himself, a pose depicting Kirby riding a [[Warp Star]], a pose depicting Kirby with the [[Parasol]] ability and a running pose. The background music for the mode that lets the player scan this card contains a small portion of "[[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens]]" to boot.

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. Additionally, the April 1st, 2024 Loot Box event featured the Dream Hammer, a hammer with a handle based on the [[Star Rod]]. Unlocking the Dream Hammer played a sound effect based on "[[Kirby Dance (theme)|Kirby Dance]]".

*World 4-4: Into the Storm is themed similarly to [[Cloudy Park - Stage 3 (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Stage 3]] of [[Cloudy Park (Kirby's Dream Land 3)|Cloudy Park]] from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. Both stages feature bodies of water situated in stormy clouds.

[[King Dedede]]'s hammer appears in the shop as a hand item. There are also shaman items: [[Star Block]] small and large box skins, a [[Kirby]] ball skin, a [[Stone]] Kirby anvil skin, and a [[Meta Knight]] cannonball skin.
