Since some names can be abbreviated the same way, the following abbreviations are discouraged to avoid confusion:
*'''KA''' - could be ''Kirby's Adventure'' or ''Kirby's Avalanche''
*'''KDC''' - could be ''Kirby's Dream Course'' or ''Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition''
*'''KSS''' - could be ''Kirby Super Star'', ''Kirby's Star Stacker'' or ''Kirby: Squeak Squad''
*'''KMA''' - could be ''Kirby Mass Attack'' or ''Kirby: Mouse Attack'' (PAL name for ''Squeak Squad'')
*'''KBB''' - could be ''Kirby's Block Ball'' or ''Kirby's Blowout Blast''


(Note that as time goes by, newer entities may share abbreviations that were previously exclusive to older ones. In such an event, retrofitting may be necessary to keep things separate.)
Although some abbreviations may be shared between games (such as "KSS" for both ''Kirby Super Star'' and ''Kirby: Squeak Squad''), it has been agreed that the more prominent usage of the abbreviation is prioritized (in this case, ''Kirby Super Star''). Suggestions to change abbreviations may be made on [[WiKirby talk:Abbreviations|the talk page]].
