The lowest attainable score is 11,500 points on Sweet Breeze difficulty in multiplayer mode: 1,500 from defeating [[Meta Knight#As a Boss|Meta Knight]]'s second phase and 10,000 from the Sweet Breeze Clear Bonus; player 1 has to be KO'd multiple times until the score is depleted to zero before defeating Meta Knight's first phase; at least 5 minutes must be spent before finishing off Meta Knight so that the time bonus runs out. | The lowest attainable score is 11,500 points on Sweet Breeze difficulty in multiplayer mode: 1,500 from defeating [[Meta Knight#As a Boss|Meta Knight]]'s second phase and 10,000 from the Sweet Breeze Clear Bonus; player 1 has to be KO'd multiple times until the score is depleted to zero before defeating Meta Knight's first phase; at least 5 minutes must be spent before finishing off Meta Knight so that the time bonus runs out. | ||
The 22nd article of the Nintendo Switch [[Kirby Star Allies Channel|''Kirby Star Allies'' Channel]] mentions that the score can reach 700,000 points if Soul Melter EX is cleared fast enough. To reach a score of 700,000, Soul Melter EX has to be cleared under 20:55.40 and when playing in multiplayer, P1 must not be KO'd and revived. Meanwhile, it's impossible to reach 710,000 because that requires Soul Melter EX to be cleared under 04:15.40, which is not known to be currently possible. The highest theoretical score, if every boss was defeated in under one second, would be 712,554. | |||

**In the Japanese version, when starting Soul Melter EX, the dialogue box displays:「{{color|orange|{{furi|魂|たましい}}が{{furi|飛|と}}び{{furi|出|で}}る{{furi|辛|から}}さ EX}}… {{furi|後悔|こうかい}}しますよ。」("{{color|orange|Soul Melter EX...}} you'll regret this.") This is a reference to the recurring dialogue prompt that displays when attempting to delete a save file in many ''Kirby'' and ''Super Smash Bros.'' games,「{{color|red|こうかいしませんね?}}」("{{color|red|You're sure you won't regret this?}}", or more literally "{{color|red|No regrets, right?}}"). It is somewhat missed in the English localization, which translates「{{furi|後悔|こうかい}}しますよ。」as "No regrets!" and「{{color|red|こうかいしませんね?}}」as "Are you {{color|red|REALLY}} sure?" | **In the Japanese version, when starting Soul Melter EX, the dialogue box displays:「{{color|orange|{{furi|魂|たましい}}が{{furi|飛|と}}び{{furi|出|で}}る{{furi|辛|から}}さ EX}}… {{furi|後悔|こうかい}}しますよ。」("{{color|orange|Soul Melter EX...}} you'll regret this.")

**In the Japanese version, the button to press when starting Soul Melter EX reads「…がんばる!!」("Good luck!" in the English version of the game, with a more direct translation being "try your hardest!") instead of the usual「スタート」("Start"). This is an apparent reference to the [[0²]] battle in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' changing the「でなおす」("Try Again") button in the pause screen to read「がんばる」("Tough It Out!" in the English version of ''Kirby 64''). | **In the Japanese version, the button to press when starting Soul Melter EX reads「…がんばる!!」("Good luck!" in the English version of the game, with a more direct translation being "try your hardest!") instead of the usual「スタート」("Start").

*In Soul Melter, [[King Dedede]] is fought at night instead of sunset. This is the opposite in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'''s [[Boss Endurance#Kirby's Dream Land 3|Boss Butch]] in which King Dedede is fought at sunset instead of night. | |||
