[8] The game would have served as a prequel to the series and would have utilized the SNES Mouse. The game was developed by DMA Design and was scheduled for release in 1995, but was canceled due to the declining sales of the mouse; however, early screenshots of the canceled game have been posted online.

That right there, that feeling you have right now, is the whiplash you will experience when you begin to read Kirby Manga Mania or the series the chapters are sourced from, Hoshi no Kirby: Dedede de Pupupu na Monogatari. It is unlike any official portrayal of Kirby you are used to. Manga Kirby doesn’t fit with his portrayals in the games, where he gently and dependably defeats a cosmic horror or two. He doesn’t fit with the anime, where he is baby. Manga Kirby isn’t even the determined, pugilistic, angry-eyebrowed manlet seen in American advertising for so long. The Top 7... Lovable Blobs".

Some of the signs and writings, even those originally in English, were removed. The design of the armored car that King Dedede rode in episodes 1 to 34 had a military camouflage color scheme in Japan, but the American version has an orange and yellow color scheme. Art works resembling Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo etc. in episode 77 have been changed so that it is difficult to associate them with them. A lot of dialogue has been changed, for example in episode 29, Monsieur Goan now speaks normally, and the equivalents of intense spiciness have been changed to "volcano," "pepperoni," "Mexico," etc. The sounds of non-verbal animals, such as the sheep on the village mayor's ranch, as in Pokémon, have also been dubbed. The sheep in the Japanese version make a "meh" sound, while in the American version they make a "baa" sound. Makiko Ohmoto's performance of Kirby is the only voice that was preserved in almost the entirety of the English dub, much like Ikue Ōtani's voicework as Pikachu.a b c d "BS Kirby no Omotya Bako Baseball".

It is a satire of the anime industry, where many are overworked and underpaid. The civilians in Pupu Village all make an anime under the command of Dedede, which ends with them being severely sleep deprived and one screaming "Animators have human rights too!" The finished anime is a parody of the Kirby anime, with Dedede taking the place of the hero. It's a whole entire mess, with the animators also filling the roles of voice actors. Here is a quote that sums it up.
