→Trivia: item about the '113 abilities!!1!1!' art. I left out the Yarn Transformations because they're less directly tied to KDL2 and the Animal Friends, and I guess the trivia section should be kept somewhat brief

*The game's false ending triggered by defeating King Dedede without having collected all Rainbow Drops is the only ending that shows the antagonists' names. Once all Rainbow Drops have been found, this ending cannot be viewed anymore, making it impossible to see the names at all without starting anew if the true ending is achieved right away. | *The game's false ending triggered by defeating King Dedede without having collected all Rainbow Drops is the only ending that shows the antagonists' names.

** Kirby is also shown in (or as) a tank in early concept art allegedly brainstorming 113 different Copy Abilities (although noting that they would really want about seven all in all, as in the final game). Tank Kirby is shown alongside Rocket Kirby and Deep Sea Kirby; these three ideas together resemble ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'''s [[Kirby Tank]], [[Kirby Rocket]], and [[Kirby Submarine]], which collectively paid homage 20 years later to the Animal Friends that supplanted these early concepts in ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''. | |||
** The same '113 abilities' concept art also suggested Mole Kirby (featuring diggers that resemble [[Heavy Mole]]'s attachments, but also somewhat resembling the later abilities of [[Animal]] and [[Drill]]), UFO Kirby (a pre-existing Copy Ability since ''Kirby's Adventure''), and Scooter Kirby (as a joke). | |||
*Official emulations of this game (''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'' and the Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]]) don't account for Super Game Boy features, making the physical SGB and unofficial emulators the only way to play it with color graphics and added sound effects. | *Official emulations of this game (''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'' and the Nintendo 3DS [[Virtual Console]]) don't account for Super Game Boy features, making the physical SGB and unofficial emulators the only way to play it with color graphics and added sound effects. | ||
