When Kirby gets the Yo-Yo ability, he wears a cap and bears a resemblance to Ness from EarthBound. The combining of a yoyo and cap has a strong association with Ness, making this a possible reference. It should also be noted that after Kirby beats the boss battle against Computer Virus, the leveling up dialogue closely resembles the leveling up dialogue from EarthBound as well.

The "Moto Shotzo" enemy is likely based on Trax, a character that uses the same design from a Game Boy game of the same name, also created by HAL.

The "Spring Breeze" sub-game is actually a recreation of Kirby's Dream Land for the Game Boy. Aside from the obvious gameplay changes between the two (most notably the ability to Copy abilities from certain enemies and Two-Player mode), Castle Lololo being removed and Lololo & Lalala being repurposed for Float Island's bosses, and other small changes in level design, the two have the same levels and intro cutscenes (save for Castle Lololo), and the same basic plot-line.

Mario, Luigi, Toad and Birdo can be seen on the left side of the arena during the battle with King Dedede in "Spring Breeze."
Scrolling outside of the viewable area via hacking also reveals cameos from Bowser, Princess Peach, and Poppy Bros. Sr. (Peach is still semi-viewable.) This may explain why Peach is fully viewable in the stands during the Dedede battle in Kirby Super Star Ultra.

On rare occasions, when using the Stone ability, Kirby can transform into a golden statue of either Mario, Samus Aran, or any of the three animal helpers (Kine, Rick, and Coo) from Kirby's Dream Land 2.

In an interview conducted by Nintendo to promote the release of the Super NES Classic Edition, Kirby Super Star director Masahiro Sakurai revealed that celebrity copywriter and EarthBound series creator Shigesato Itoi came up with the game's Japanese title, Kirby of the Stars Super Deluxe. Itoi also came up with the idea for the Japanese box art, which is designed after Paulownia wood boxes traditionally used to package luxury alcohol and tableware in Japan. Itoi believed that both the title and the artwork would "convey how rich [the game] is in content."
