Kirby's Avalanche is a clone of the Super Famicom game Super Puyo Puyo, but the characters and music (with the exception of the panic song) are replaced with Kirby characters and songs.

Kirby's Avalanche is the only Kirby game not to get released in Japan.

Since the buttons on the Super Nintendo controller are purple and black in North America, they were changed to the colors on the Super Nintendo controller's buttons in Europe which are red, yellow, green, and blue.

When Kirby's Avalanche got a PAL release, it's name was changed to Kirby's Ghost Trap.
