Tasty Tidbit

A Tasty Tidbit appearing on-screen at the Home Table in Kirby's Dream Buffet.

Tasty Tidbits are a series of hints and other flavor text that appears on-screen whenever Kirby is at the Home Table in Kirby's Dream Buffet. These hints mostly relay information about how to use various gameplay features, but also includes a little bit of expository information, including backstory and the names of certain entities and objects. These tidbits appear on a scrolling banner at the bottom of the screen, and cycle through three randomly-chosen tidbits each time the Home Table is visited.
