===Continuity within ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!''===
===Continuity within ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!''===
''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'' can be said to have at least two main continuities, due to how the episode order in Japan is different than in North America. Generally speaking, the series follows a linear continuity where episodes occur in chronological order; while the series is largely episodic, the story has a definite beginning and ending, and there are cases of story arcs occurring in multiple parts, as well as significant continuity changes — for example, King Dedede establishing a television channel in [[Un-Reality TV]] that appears in multiple later episodes, or obtaining the [[Royal Racecar]] in [[The Kirby Derby - Part I]] after his [[Armored Vehicle]] is destroyed.

Furthermore, standalone episodes sometimes directly call back to the events of previous episodes, but usually only in a passing manner — for example, [[Mabel Turns the Tables]] references the events of [[Prediction Predicament - Part II]] as one of the times where Mabel made a successful prediction, and [[Tooned Out]] references the events of [[Cartoon Buffoon]] when explaining that King Dedede had previously made a cartoon. That said, the episode order in the anime is overall fluid, as most are self-contained stories that do not build from previous events, and some episodes end with significant continuity changes that are not resolved in the next episode (such as everybody forgetting about Kirby at the end of [[Escar-Gone]]).
