A Call Back to a Previous Kirby Game

The Normal Treasure Road in the Redgar Forbidden Lands area is a call back to a previous Kirby game, Kirby's Blowout Blast on the Nintendo 3DS, since it has similar mechanics and gameplay as this Treasure Road.

Use Ice Guard Against Bosses

Bosses that can be blocked with Ice Guard
Gorimondo	Clawroline
Leongar	-

There are some bosses in the game whose attacks can be completely blocked by using the Crouch Guard of any of the Ice abilities, including Clawroline and Leongar. This trick even works in the Colosseum, so it is highly recommended to use this ability.

Ice Ability Attacks, Evolutions, and Available Stages

Elfilin Gives the Player Advice

Elfilin

Though Elfilin will not aid you in battle, there are moments when he will give Kirby words of advice when he notices that you are struggling in a certain level, such as if you keep falling or if you are receive tons of damage from enemies.

Birds Sing the Theme Song in Arrival Point

In the starting areas of the Arrival Point stage, you can hear several birds singing. If you listen closely, you will notice that they are actually singing the theme song of the game.

Gain Extra Items by Returning to Previous Areas

In certain stages, there are some items or rewards that can only be obtained if you progress through the stage first and come back later on. One example of this is in Arrival Point where you first need to get the Sword ability and come back to the previous area to cut down the grass and get the Blue Coin.

Overchaging the Hammer Will Burn It Out

Overcharging the Hammer ability will burn it out and reduce it to only a handle. The handle can still attack and deal damage, but it is not as effective as a full hammer. The hammer head will return shortly after.

Hammer Ability Attacks, Evolutions, and Available Stages

Use Deep Sleep to Get Free Boosts

Using Deep Sleep will grant you either an Attack Boost, Speed Boost, or Double HP Boost. After using the ability, you can switch to a different copy ability to make use of its effects without spending on items. However, take note that the effect only lasts for up to 200 seconds.

Deep Sleep Ability Attacks, Evolutions, and Available Stages

Fall Damage Reduces after Each Fall

First Fall	Fourth Fall

Falling down an endless void does not mean instant death in this game. Instead, you will only receive a small decrease to your health, and the more times you fall the less damage your receive. This makes the mechanic of the game very friendly to beginners.

Instantly Starts the Leongar Boss Fight

As shown in the clip above, if you use the Ice Ability to hit Leongar at the start of the Lab Discovera Stage, you do not need to defeat all the other enemies in the room for the boss battle to start.

The First Letters of Each Area Spell Out New World

The overarching theme of Kirby and the Forgotten Land is New World, which is likely why Kirby was brought to an entirely unfamiliar land in the game. It is fitting that the first letter of each area in the world form the acronym New World.

Aside from entering through the front door, you can also enter his house through the chimney. There are no perks or additional rewards for doing this, but it is an interesting detail about the game.
