%%* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Please check the trope page to make sure your example fits the current definition.

* HawaiianShirtedTourist: In episode 48, a bunch of these go sightseeing in Cappy Town.

* InterspeciesRomance: And an in-universe CrackPairing -- in one episode, Whispy Woods falls in love with a flower.
** And in another, Kine, an ''ocean sunfish'', goes on a date with Tiff.

* LandfillBeyondTheStars: The NME Sales Guy makes Dedede's kingdom one, via a trio of misinformed aliens, when he forgets to pay his debts.

** This is brought up again during an episode which features King Dedede having another crack at getting his own TV Show. They resort to using the animation Biggy, Boney and Sleepy made due to the deadline being in 30 minutes.[[note]]Escargoon holds up a clock reading 6:30 AM while doing this, meaning that the deadline is 7 AM like before.[[/note]]

** Inverted with Kawasaki in the finale story-arc: [[spoiler:He becomes the only chef on the Halberd and easily learns how to cook space food due to it being a bag in boiling water, with the crew commenting that it tastes good. In reality, space food is usually horrible.]]

** MassOhCrap: In "Kirby Takes the Cake", every one of the villagers gets this when King Dedede comes to ruin their preparations for Kirby's first anniversary of crash-landing in the village (which he thought was their rebellion against him).
--->'''Mayor:''' ''(seeing Dedede arrive to attack their preparations for Kirby's anniversary)'' Oh no, it's King Dedede!

* OppositeSexClone: Slice n' Splice can split creatures into male and female halves, with the female halves always having things like [[TertiarySexualCharacteristics bows, eyelashes and/or lipstick]]. Upon seeing this happen to Kirby, King Dedede and Escargoon try to picture what each other's "feminine sides" would look like and [[BrainBleach are repulsed]]. It later happens to Dedede for real.
** Fololo and Falala are [[spoiler:permanently set this way, since they're two opposite halves of the same which came from an idea by Nightmare to send Dedede a non-threatening monster called Fofa as part of a scam, then suggests splitting him to charge Dedede double the price.]]

* PortalNetwork: The monster transporter. [[spoiler:In the final episode, the characters who left Dream Land on the Halberd use it to come back home after the Halberd gets destroyed.]]

* RewatchBonus: After TheReveal in the final episode where [[spoiler:Customer Service is actually just as short as Kirby with stubby legs, rewatching "The Kirby Quiz" which had Customer Service in full view for the first time shows that he wasn't on his knees; he's exactly the same shape.]]

** Twelve episodes later came the even DarkerAndEdgier five-part series finale, which featured the ''truly competent'' Destroyas. These things were the main reason why Cappy Town was getting burned to a crisp and suffering from a SugarApocalypse. In fact, a blast fired from one of the Destroyas even knocked off a piece of Kirby's warp star!

* WelcomeToEvilMart: [=NightMare Enterprises=] is a corporation that specializes in selling malevolent monsters, and it's where [[ArchEnemy King Dedede]] gets almost everything for his evil schemes.

%% * GranolaGirl: Tiff.

%% * GratuitousNinja: Episode 24.
%% * GreatOffscreenWar: Which apparently wiped out a species or three.
%% * GreenAesop: But handled in such a [[WorldOfHam ham-tastic]] and {{Anvilicious}} way that it's more of a joke than an actual {{Aesop}}.

* WomenAreWiser: Downplayed with Lady Like. She is smarter than her husband and, like her daughter, never trusts Dedede. That said she often still ends up falling for his plans and there was a whole episode kickstarted by her obsessing over keeping her youthful looks.

* RejectedMarriageProposal: Princess Rona [[spoiler:[[SwappedRoles actually the real princess's lady-in-waiting]] turns down the besotted Dedede, as does Commander Vee [[spoiler:who is actually Rona]] on behalf of the princess. Angered, Dedede [[ThrowingDownTheGauntlet throws down a glove]] and orders a duel to win the princess's hand.]]

* FlashbackNightmare: Noddies cause these in the episode "The Pillow Case". [[spoiler:Kirby himself gets nightmares too, of his previous encounters with the monsters.]]

* CoolCar: Dedede's tank, which makes him look like some kind of a Third-World dictator, later replaced by a limousine equipped with ''[[DropTheHammer hammers]]''. In a WackyRacing two-parter, all the main characters get one. The limo that Dedede and Escargoon order from [=NightMare=] Enterprises [[ContinuityNod replaces their original tank for the rest of the series.]]

*** In episode ''Shell Shocked'', Escargoon has his snail shell broken by King Dedede. He eventually puts one on from Nightmare Enterprises which turns him into a monster called Maimaigoon. The beast zaps everyone and tries to eat Kirby with its massive tongue. But then Dedede charges at the beast. Kirby sucks up his hammer and is able to become Hammer Kirby and DropTheHammer on the beast's shell, turning Escargoon back to normal.

* ForWantOfANail: It's discussed that if Kirby didn't arrive in Dreamland too early and had matured 200 years as he should have had, he wouldn't have been a [[HowDoIShotWeb struggling]] KidHero and would've been more competent right off of the bat.

* ForWantOfANail: Meta Knight states that Kirby wouldn't have crash-landed and had any problems with monsters as a whole if he had a little more time to mature.
