Unused Animations

Kirby

Kirby has two unused poses for his Mirror ability's Illusion Ring attack. For clarity, these are also shown without the Mirror Kirby's. Interestingly, the first animation is similar to various animations used for the ESP ability, while the second of these strongly resembles one of the alternate poses for the Circus ability's Ball Balance attack.

Enemies

Test Animations

Like with Kirby: Triple Deluxe, various test animations managed to stay in some enemies' motion archives. There are fewer this time around, however.

• 

  Dekabu

• 

  Elec

• 

  Waddle Dee (Click to animate)

Mid-Bosses

King Doo has an unused swimming animation titled "TopL_SwimHelper". "Helper" is the official name used for the characters Kirby could summon in Kirby Super Star and Kirby Super Star Ultra, as well as the cancelled Kirby for Nintendo GameCube. This exact same animation shows up in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe in Waddle Doo's motion archive, as well as numerous other animations from the cancelled GameCube game. All of this could mean that this animation is from said cancelled game, and was accidentally left in when copying Waddle Doo's assets when developing King Doo.

Bosses

Gigavolt has an early version of his regular idle animation. He sways back and forth more in this early version, and he moves his mouth slightly.

Galacta Knight has an animation erroneously ported from Meta Knight's motion file. It's called "TopL_ItemGet".

Unused Moves

Similar to the case of Kirby: Triple Deluxe, some of the cut moves from Kirby's Return to Dream Land remain in the StepHero.bin.cmp Mint archive under the Scn.Step.Hero namespace. Most of them can be re-enabled by removing one instruction from their code.

Beam

"Revolution Beam" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land still has some leftovers in the previously mentioned Mint archive, but strangely, all of its states have been removed, which means that it cannot be re-enabled. The animations scripts "AnimScriptRevolution" and "AnimScriptRevolutionEnd" still remain, as well as the actual animations.

  The ending of the move.

Fire

"Spinning Fire Breath" is still here, and it acts the same as in Kirby: Triple Deluxe when restored. It has the script "AnimScriptSpiral" and the state "StateSpiral" and all of its animations from the previous game.

Hammer

"Triple Hammer" also returns, acting exactly the same way as it did in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. All of its scripts, animations, and states are also intact.

Spark

"Light-Speed Dash", an unused move for Spark that originated in Kirby: Triple Deluxe and wasn't implemented until Kirby Star Allies is back as well. Its behavior is exactly the same as the one seen in the previous game.

Ninja

"Air Quad Shock", an unused move for Ninja that acts the same in Kirby: Triple Deluxe when restored. It has the script "AnimScriptSlashReverse" and the state "StateSlashReverse" but disabled with an is grounded instruction.

Unused Enemy Attacks

The Cappy enemy has an unused attack where he throws his cap between the foreground and background. The hat would disappear upon hitting Kirby or landing on the floor, and it would reappear in Cappy's head again soon after. The reason why it was disabled is unknown.

Unused Items

The Timed Dynamite and 3D Helmet Cannon items are leftovers from Kirby: Triple Deluxe and are fully functional if hacked into the game. Their presence suggests they were initially planned to be used somewhere before being cut. Their models can be located at RomFS/gfx/Step/Item, called HelmetCannon.bch.cmp and TimerDynamite.bch.cmp.

Unused Music

To do: Investigate the lower-quality "MONO1" versions of certain music tracks. The regular versions of these tracks are all used in Team Kirby Clash. Maybe these are used when playing in Download Play to save space? Kirby Fighters Deluxe also has mono versions of some themes. Specifically, fanf_bonus_perfect1MONO1.dspadpcm.bcstm might not be used, since it's regular version, fanf_bonus_perfect1.dspadpcm is only used as the fanfare for clearing the True Arena rather than for Team Kirby Clash.

All music files are found in RomFS/snd/stream.

BGM_NOLP_DANCEGB2.dspadpcm.bcstm

The short version of the stage clear theme from Kirby's Dream Land 2, which was reused as the stage clear theme for the Kirby Fighters subgame in Kirby Triple Deluxe. The longer version, BGM_NOLP_DANCEGB1.dspadpcm, is used in both Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot as the fanfare for receiving 30 1-Ups in the goal game.

KbyMUTEKI.dspadpcm.bcstm

The invincibility theme from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, which was also repurposed for Kirby Fighters.

Unused Sound Effects

Various voice clips for distinct characters went unused, such as Susie and Star Dream.

Sound	Name	Location	Description
	WAV 186 GUESS B VOICE TORTE	RomFS/snd/Torte.bcsar/WARC_0_GUESS_G_KirbyBASIC.bcwar	A voice clip of Susie exclaiming "Hmmm?". Curiously, it's not bitcrushed like her other clips.

Unused Text

Movie.msbt

The dialogues of Taranza and Queen Sectonia, and the narrator's speech in the ending of Kirby: Triple Deluxe can be found on this file. It can be found inside RomFS/msg/*language folder*. This may imply that the cutscenes were copied over from that game and edited to create the ones seen in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

Lvl6Start_00	To think that you've made it this far. Aren't you a persistent little thing?
Lvl6Start_01	But even you will kneel before us.
Lvl6Start_02	I, Taranza, cannot allow you to interfere with Queen Sectonia's plans.
Lvl6Start_03	Let me guess: you're here to save the hero of the lower world.
Lvl6Start_04	The people of this land thought they were clever.
Lvl6Start_05	They thought they could use the Dreamstalk to save their world.
Lvl6Start_06	But I saw right through their plan.
Lvl6Start_07	Well, since you're already here...
Lvl6Start_08	I'll give you your precious hero back.
Lvl6Start_09	But he may be a little more...hostile than you remember him!
Lvl6End_00	Wh-what is the meaning of this?!
Lvl6End_01	I did just as Her Majesty commanded.
Lvl6End_02	The lower world should fall to its knees before me!
Lvl6End_03	Could... Could you be the true hero of the lower world?
Lvl6End_04	Curses! If that's true...
Lvl6End_05	Majesty! Your Majesty Sectonia!
Lvl6End_06	Oh, glorious Sectonia! Please come to my resc--
Lvl6End_07	Glaaaugh!
Lvl6End_08	Wh-why...?
Lvl6End_09	Pitiful, Taranza...
Lvl6End_10	I have no use for a fool who cannot follow orders.
Lvl6End_11	Now then, hero of the lower world.
Lvl6End_12	You would risk your life for this land?
Lvl6End_13	You would stand against me, the ruler of the heavens?
Lvl6End_14	Very well...
Lvl6End_15	You will bow before the great Queen Sectonia!
Lvl6End_16	My beauty rivals the divine...
Lvl6End_17	And my power will crush all that you hold dear!
Lvl7Start_00	Bah... Aha...
Lvl7Start_01	I...see.
Lvl7Start_02	I expected as much from the hero chosen by the Dreamstalk.
Lvl7Start_03	But I wonder... How will you handle this?
Lvl7Start_04	You see, true beauty...is control.
Lvl7Start_05	The Dreamstalk has guided you thus far.
Lvl7Start_06	But its bloom will be your doom!
Lvl7Start_07	Floralia, Dream Land, and this entire planet!
Lvl7Start_08	You should all feel honored.
Lvl7Start_09	You will serve as my sustenance... for eternity!
Ending_00	And so Floralia was saved, thanks to Kirby's heroic efforts.
Ending_01	The People of the Sky had long lived under the cruelties of the evil queen.
Ending_02	In a last-ditch effort to save themselves,
Ending_03	they put their hopes and dreams into a seed and sent it to the surface...

Ending_07	Indeed, the Dreamstalk works in mysterious ways.
Ending_08	When it was over, Kirby looked up at the sky...

Ending_10	It serves as a reminder of Floralia and a new landmark in Dream Land.

Robobot Armor

Scene data related to various unused Robobot Armor modes can also be found in the FDG archive. Judging by the incredible amounts of leftover data, one can assume that, at one point, every ability in the game was planned to have a Robobot Armor mode. Interestingly, abilities that aren't in Robobot have scene data, like Wing, Spear, and Needle. No data contains paths in any asset group.

Regional Differences

Tutorial Completion

Japanese	International

In the Japanese version of the game, during the tutorial, a red circle will appear whenever an action is properly completed. In the international versions, a green checkmark will appear instead. This is likely because tests in Japanese schools have circles represent correct answers while check marks represent wrong answers, whereas it is the opposite in international schools.

This change is also present in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby Battle Royale and Kirby Star Allies.

In addition, the harder bosses have the "2.0" suffix in the English, French, German, Italian and Spanish versions and the "Re:" prefix in the Japanese and Korean versions.

Minigame Names

Both of the minigames also have different names in each language version.

Japanese	English	French	German	Italian	Spanish	Korean

Team Kirby Clash Boss Names

The enemies fought in the Team Kirby Clash minigame also have different names from Japanese into other languages.

1UPs

Like with Kirby: Canvas Curse, Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby Star Allies, the 1UP models differ depending on what language the player's Nintendo 3DS is set to. For whatever reason, despite being seemingly identical, Kirby's English 1UP textures are slightly different to those of the Japanese 1UP model, though these differences are barely noticeable. The changes can be more obviously seen in his eyes.

Japanese	English and Italian	French	German	Latin American Spanish	European Spanish

Japanese, English, and Italian	French	German	Latin American Spanish	European Spanish

Miiverse Button

To do: Add relevant images from the Korean and international versions

Since Miiverse was never made accessible in South Korea, the Korean version of the game simply does not have a Miiverse shortcut button on the Touch Screen during gameplay. This is not the case in international versions, as Miiverse was still active during the time the game originally released in Japan, America, Europe and Australia.

Oddities

• The file name for the song playing when confirming to delete a file, Pause.dspadpcm.bcstm suggests it was originally the music for the pause menu. It was likely changed due to sounding rather ominous, as the used pause menu theme, Pause_Ver2_2015_0513.dspadpcm.bcstm, is more serene. Interestingly, Planet Robobot was the first Kirby game to even have music for the pause menu.
• The filename the map theme of Rhythm Route/World 5 is Lv2Town.dspadpcm.bcstm, suggesting it was once associated with Resolution Road/World 2 (whose map theme is TRT_LP_TTLV2CITY1.dspadpcm.bcstm). This is easy to believe since both worlds are city-themed.
• The themes for the final boss's phases were likely shuffled around at one point:
  • The first phase's theme is named Last2.dspadpcm.bcstm.
  • The second phase's theme is name TRT_LP_TTSPACE1.dspadpcm.bcstm.
  • The third phase's theme is named Last1.dspadpcm.bcstm
  • The differing filename conventions are due to how the two composers, Jun Ishikawa and Hirokazu Ando, name their music files differently.

• The robots spawned by Haltmann during his boss battle were never given any official name. However, they are internally referred to as Yesman in the files, which follows the company theming set by Haltmann.

Internal Project Name

The game's internal project name is "TorteCity" or simply just "Torte", according to the game's sound archive and various other files. Torte is a dessert, specifically a cake. This follows the trend of Kirby games being named after foods.
