* ItsEasySoItSucks: The main criticism of the game is that it's far easier and slower-paced compared to other titles. Even the bosses, [[EasyLevelsHardBosses usually the hardest part of a Kirby game]], only have a few attacks each and aren't too hard to deal with. The hardest part of the game may be the GuideDangIt aspect of getting the Heart Stars.

* NintendoHard: Unlike ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamLand2'', continuing in this title is impossible; losing all lives at any point will cause your game to be over for real.

* VindicatedByHistory: The game did not get a lot of recognition on release since it was released a full year after the UsefulNotes/Nintendo64 came out. Those who ''did'' play it often felt it was a disappointment compared to ''Kirby Super Star'', due to its slower pace and simpler abilities. However, it's now a favorite among fans for the visuals, puzzle-solving gameplay, varied combination abilities, and especially its bevy of {{Surprisingly Creepy Moment}}s. Being available on Nintendo Switch Online along with both ''VideoGame/KirbysDreamland2'' and ''VideoGame/Kirby64TheCrystalShards'', the other two games that directly tie in with Dreamland 3 and make up the Dark Matter Trilogy also helped out bolstering its memorability among Kirby fans.

** [[spoiler: The game's TrueFinalBoss, Zero]], is extremely popular in the Kirby fandom, featured in many pieces of fanart and considered by the fandom to be the series' GreaterScopeVillain despite having no dialogue and only appearing in this game.

* HilariousInHindsight: Both ROB and Samus would eventually become playable alongside Kirby in the ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBros'' series after both making cameos here. Bonus points for Kirby freezing Metroids for Samus, as Metroids are also fought in Smash Run.

Wrong use of the trope, this is not for absent characters, but rather characters that are present but underutilized.


* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: Blocky, Jumper Shoot, and Captain Stitch from ''Kirby's Dream Land 2'' returned here, so why not Master Green and Waiu? Noticeable in the final regular stage when Sparkies and Sir Kibbles show up to give abilities in their place.

Tier Induced Scrappy is a defunct trope. Rick is inferior to Nago, but still perfectly usable and not infamous for being bad.


* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The soundtrack is also fantastic, even having its own version of the [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar Gourmet Race]] theme.

* TierInducedScrappy: Rick is generally considered inferior to Nago in most situations. The hamster's ability to not slip on ice and climb walls are just too situational to make up for Nago's faster movement and double jumping skills.



* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Despite the game's heavy indulgence in SurpriseCreepy elements (even moreso than usual for the ''Kirby'' series up to that point) and especially [[spoiler:the copious blood in Zero's boss battle (particularly the large blood spray that accompanies it tearing its eye out)]], the game was released with a K-A rating in the United States. Eventually it got re-rated E10+, but that still doesn't stop people from being surprised by its darker content.
