History YMMV / KirbyCanvasCurse

** Drawcia having a connection to the Dark Matter doesn't seem all that implausible when you consider a few things. For starters, her Sorceress form is quite similar to Dark Matter Blade's design which is most noticeable in the games intro. The final boss of this game is actually quite similar in concept to the TrueFinalBoss of ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamland3'': The first phase has a slow paced battle theme against the main antagonist and the second has a fast paced theme against a spherical monster with a prominent eye.

** There's also [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Void]], who not only has strong connections with Dark Matter, but also almost exclusively uses attacks from all soul boss before him, ''including'' Drawcia.

* HarsherInHindsight: Having knowledge of [[VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe Paintra]] makes The World of Drawcia sadder. Given how dark it is and that there are no enemies aside from the paintings that giggle and reveal their disturbing smiles when the player approaches, the world apparently reflects the emptiness Drawcia was feeling ever since she was separated from Paintra, since during ''Canvas Curse'', Paintra is nowhere to be seen. This association got even worse with ''VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies''; [[spoiler: its TrueFinalBoss, Void, has a name that means "emptiness", is implied to be the progenitor of [[DarkIsEvil Dark Matter]] and makes references to Drawcia]].

** The surreal sketchbook landscape and childishly giggling posters making up The World of Drawcia makes it look like Kirby crossed over into one of the witch's domains in ''Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica.'' Drawcia herself resembles one of the witches from that series, making some fans wonder [[spoiler:what she may have been like as a human MagicalGirl before turning into that form, let alone Drawcia Soul.]]

** ''Canvas Curse'' introduced the concept of Soul forms for the final bosses to the franchise, and as the first of them Drawcia is fittingly outright horrifying - a giant, five-eyed marbled glob of paint that rapidly changes color and constantly utters distorted screams and laughter from her gigantic mouth. Upon defeat, her mangled body twists in on itself as she is sucked into the canvas she spawned from. Combine this with the increasingly disturbing laughter during her transformation, and you had potentially the most disturbing ''Kirby'' final boss until [[VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand Fecto Forgo]] came along.
*** She gets worse when you realize that Drawcia Soul doesn't aim for Kirby most of the time, she aims her attacks towards the screen. The screen as in ''you'', the ''player''. The one who has assisted Kirby throughout this entire adventure. Yes you read that right, ''[[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou Drawcia knows that you're there and actively tries to attack you!]]''

* ScrappyMechanic: Kirby automatically floats when entering any body of water. To dive, the player must either repeatedly tap him or trace a path leading underwater; but the former method is slow and monotonous, while the latter is limited by the quickly depleting ink gauge.

** A lot of fans ship Drawcia with [[VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand2 Dark Matter Blade]], despite Dark Matter Blade having been killed off years before Drawcia came into existence. The main reason people ship the two is that the boss fights against Drawcia and Dark Matter Blade are rather similar: Kirby first faces a more humanoid form (Drawcia Sorceress, Dark Matter Blade), [[SequentialBoss followed by]] a blob-like EldritchAbomination form (Drawcia Soul, Real Dark Matter). However, people also make Drawcia have a similar backstory to Dark Matter Blade: it's widely accepted that Dark Matter Blade attacked Dream Land because [[FriendlessBackground he didn't have any friends]] and [[GreenEyedMonster was jealous on Dream Land for being a land in which everyone is everyone's friend]], so they made Drawcia jealous on the fact the inhabitants of Dream Land were "more real" than her. The ship became HilariousInHindsight with [[VideoGame/KirbyTripleDeluxe Paintra's reveal]], since it implies Drawcia attacked Dream Land out of loneliness, not unlike Dark Matter Blade, [[spoiler: and with [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Void's existence]], Void being implied to be the precusor of Dark Matter and, as such, Dark Matter Blade's ancestor, as well as Void referencing Drawcia.]]
** Fans also like to ship Drawcia with [[VideoGame/KirbySqueakSquad Daroach]] despite Drawcia herself eventually being destroyed in a painting at the end of this game, ensuring the two never meet. The main reason people ship the two is because of them being ''Kirby'' villains introduced in the early UsefulNotes/NintendoDS era. The pairing is especially popular on the Japanese website Website/{{Pixiv}}, where it's assocciated with the "cheshia"[[note]] A PortmanteauCoupleName of Drawcia's and Daroach's Japanese names[[/note]] tag.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: Though the game was critically acclaimed upon its initial launch, reviews for the Wii U re-release were much more mixed. The once innovative touch controls were considered archaic and gimmicky compared to later games, and the lack of actual boss battles coupled with the simplistic plot made it immemorable in the eyes of many.
