Super Smash Bros. series

 * The music played in Save Rooms was remixed for Super Smash Bros. Melee's All-Star Mode, which is similar to The Arena. Also, one of the Gourmet Race songs is used for Kirby's levels in the Smash Bros. series, either in original and orchestated versions.


 * Also, the final boss of the Great Cave Offensive, Wham Bam Rock, uses a stone hand to attack Kirby. The hand's patterns are the inspiration for Master Hand.


 * Most of Kirby's special moves in the Smash Bros. series originated here, such as his Final Cutter, Stone/Heavy Object transformation or the HAmmer (Kirby)Hammer moves. Likewise, the Fan item appears to originate from Ninja Kirby.


 * Kirby's yo-yo ability and appearance is similar to Ness from Earthbound. The ability background is also the same pattern as the file select screen from Earthbound.
