11	!!The Tropes in both series share:
12	* AllThereInTheManual: George has a [[https://aminoapps.com/c/kirby/page/user/george-gw94/xpEg_8Z3Hof30LBYxa3kVVXPKN0noWeYDknuB amino page]] where you can find some extra info about the characters that made an appearance to the mooks in various stages.
13	** While Freeze Tape can trap enemies in place for platforming, it's been said, that it is unable to trap Bosses for long, as they'll break free.
14	** The mermaid's name was revealed to be Pearlei via [[https://twitter.com/learn2chillax/status/1176306677689327616 this]] ConceptArt on Twitter a few months after her first appearance but before her name was mentioned on Youtube.
15	* AnyoneCanDie: [[spoiler: Characters in both series can die at any point as shown.]]
16	* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: In both series, the day is saved at a cost, in Epic Paper 1, Goombella and Meta King are killed and in 2 King Upam Febo and Troy end up dying near the end, leaving Becky to stay with her kingdom to build it back up from the destruction that happened from Lord Kojar and Troy.]]
17	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Kirby's Epic Paper 1. It had a different layout for Kirby's abilities, enemies were crossed off when defeated instead of fading away, left on the paper environment as well as it having pacing that's fast, a bit too fast at times.
18	** Kirby's Epic Paper 2, suffers a bit of this as well in the fast pacing part in the beginning. However, as time goes on, the pacing gets fixed.
19	* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Kirby's Epic Paper for the longest time didn't have the "'s" in it's title name, let alone, logo. Sometime into 2 the logo changed to obtain the "'s" but the title still spelled without it for sometime before getting it.
20	* ShoutOut:
21	** In Epic Paper 1, there is:
22	*** A Mook that looks strikingly like [[WesternAnimation/SpongebobSquarepants Squidward Tentacles]].
23	*** There is a town filled with [[Platform/GameAndWatch Mr. Game & Watch characters]]. (Not surprising considering where the "GW" in George'''GW''''s username comes from.)
24	** In Epic Paper 2, there is:
25	*** Kirby's copy ability '''Blaster''' is a reference to {{Franchise/Splatoon}}, complete in the visuals and the sound effect used.
26	*** '''Munchy''' is practically the character that lives and breathes this trope, packing in [[VideoGame/PacMan Pac-Man]] and [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Super Smash Brothers]] references.
27	*** The [[https://twitter.com/learn2chillax/status/1277390493379420163 concept artist made one]] to [[LetsPlay/ProtonJon RosaJon]] for shits and giggles. George liked the idea so much that he used the design.
28	*** To {{VideoGame/Tetris}} in Gryll's boss stage (and background elements of Stage 7-2). As it's made out of scattered Tetriminoes which is thematic, since they came from a puzzle game [[{{VideoGame/KirbysStarStacker}} themselves]].
29	*** To [[{{VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl}} Super Smash Brothers Brawl]], showcasing Armights and Gamyga.
30	*** A one to {{VideoGame/Castlevania}}, showcasing Medusa Heads.
31	*** One to the flying ghosts in [[{{VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins}} Ghosts 'N' Goblins]].
32

34	* MacGuffin: The Nyx Paper, any wish written on it will be granted.
35
36	!!The Tropes in Kirby's Epic Paper 2 are:
37	* AmusementPark: As well as a desert which has a ruins, Munchy turned the ruins into a amusement park.
38	* ArtEvolution: Comparing Epic Paper 1 to Epic Paper 2, the show's style has evolved greatly (8 years between them helps).

40	* EnchantedForest: It's said that souls who get lost in the Forest of Lost Souls wander there forever.
41	* FiveSecondForeshadowing: In Epic Paper 2, Stage 1-4 + Boss, [[spoiler: Troy is suddenly seen, with Kojar seemingly nowhere to be found despite the earlier kidnapping. However, one may remember how the latter teleports, so seeing how Troy got there subtly reveals that Kojar was able to persuade Troy into working with him, a bit of time before the heroes find out.]]
42	* LethalLavaLand: The Ceniza Kingdom is located near and surrounded around with magma, lava and volcanoes. Doubles as a MeaningfulName, as Ceniza means Ash in Spanish.
43	* MagicWand: There are 6 in the Land of Ostura, each wielding a [[ElementalPowers different power]].
44	** The Ostura Wand controls [[DishingOutDirt Earth]].
45	** The Ruins Wand controls [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] and can summon [[TheMonolith monoliths]].
46	** The Leaf Wand controls [[GreenThumb plants]] and can use PureEnergy.
47	** The Tear Drop Wand controls [[MakingASplash water]].
48	** The Flame Wand may controls [[PlayingWithFire fire]].
49	*** In Stage 3-5, [[spoiler: it's revealed that there's another wand than the supposed 6. The name is currently unknown but it's been shown as early in Stage 1-2 that it can trap people inside of it. In the final stage, it's revealed to be the Lu-Pa Wand and there's no information about it, not even in ancient texts but Kojar, with enough experimenting has claimed it to be the most powerful wand.]]
50	** The Crystal Wand controls [[GemstoneAssault crystals]] and can be used to trap someone in one.
51	* OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: Febo and Bandana Dee getting back the Sand Wand in Stage 5-5 from Troy.]]
52	* PalmtreePanic: The Kiwi Isles takes places on isles with beaches on them.
53	* ShiftingSandLand: World 1 as a whole and bits of 2 (mixed with RuinsForRuinsSake), as it takes place in the Ostura Kingdom specifically, as it's located in a desert.
54	* WhamLine: [[spoiler: Two in fact, in Stage 3-5:]]
55	** [[spoiler:[-'''Becky:''' ...we just need one more thing. Do you know where is the Leaf Wand?-]]]\
56	[[spoiler:[-'''Jacob:''' Oh I used to have it [[YouAreTooLate but a kid with a purple hair just took it]] and almost hurt me, he wasn't nice.-]]]\
57	[[spoiler:[-'''Febo:''' Oh no!-]]]\
58	[[spoiler:[-'''Becky:''' dawns a OhCrap Face-]]]\
59	[[spoiler:[-...-]]]\
60	[[spoiler:[-'''Kojar:''' We now have 4 now. We are just missing 3.-]]]
61	* WhamShot: [[spoiler: Combined with TheStinger. At the end of Stage 6-3, Kojar brings Troy back to the Ostura Kingdom. For what reason? Why to take his role as King of course. All while the heroes are busy getting the last wand.]]
62	** [[spoiler: In Stage 6-5 as the heroes are wondering how to destroy the wands, [[MurderArsonandJaywalking Ostura Castle (which the kingdom is in view) gets blown up and raised into the air. Also King Dedede is alive]].]]
63	** [[spoiler: In Stage 7-3, when Febo pushes Becky out of the way to protect her from a shot Kojar sent her way. Unlike with it ending okay like Queen Fusie, this time it ends with a fatal result.]]
