Re release?

What exactly makes the club nintendo version of this game so special? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.233.100.129 (talk) 13:48, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Name

can someone move this page from "Kirby & the Amazing Mirror" to "Kirby & The Amazing Mirror"?

The boxart clearly has The capitalized. I tried moving it myself, but there's already a redirect, and it won't let me. It's a bitch. Can someone else try?--- Rogsheng (talk) 12:25, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a "no" from whoever does this. It officially is "Kirby & The Amazing Mirror" as per ©Nintendo of America Inc. and ©HAL Laboratory Inc. official websites in (all) EN region(s). - https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/TROz9RsKRnhTl-LiYX7w5plPad9nGttU , http://www.hallab.co.jp/eng/works/detail/002719/

This is someone's highly admired typo causing a lot of confusement even though truth clearly visible. This page needs a title-change already, as well as the given box-art. --Viperision (talk) 13:18, 19 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Multiplayer

How do you get this to work in multiplayer?

Australian Release

Please, if it was released here in Australia, explain to me where that information comes from? It certainly never showed up in any stores. And multiple Australian forums have confirmed importing is the only way to get it. Oh, and it appears on no release list from the time it was supposedly released and (whilst this is the least convincing part) it still appears as 'TBD' on Nintendo of Australia's website.

This game is the first time the Master Hand and Crazy Hand have appeared outside of a Super Smash Bros. series game.

what about the game over screens they have a floating white hand wake him up.

That's not really an appearance of Master Hand, the glove is the same size as Kirby, whereas Master Hand and Crazy Hand are bigger than Kirby. 208.101.173.66 02:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's still clearly Master Hand. Notice that inhaling him gives you the Smash ability, granting his entire moveset from Melee. It's definitely a cameo. --71.225.92.16 (talk) 19:36, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In all fairness, the Smash ability doesn't grant Kirby his EXACT moveset. The standard special, which in the SSB series is his trademark inhaling power, is the last part of his 1-2-3 A button combo. Otherwise, it's perfect. KF87827 (talk) 18:37, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Form 3.png

Image:Form 3.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chronology?

This game explains the multi-colored Kirbys from Nightmare in Dream Land and Air Ride, so this game should take place between Kirby's Dream Land and Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, right? Also, King Dedede is said to have been training himself to float like Kirby since the first game, and since this game doesn't have him, and the NES manual says that the last mischievous thing he did was stealing the Sparkling Stars (the source of Dream Land's food), this game fills the gap easily. 208.101.173.66 02:49, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

None of the games are specifically linked except for Dream Land 2,3, and 64. Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land is just Kirby's Adventure with multi-player features. There really isn't any way to correctly form a timeline for the Kirby series at all, so there really is no reason why a discussion about chronology should be had. It would all be original research and fan cruft. Disaster Kirby 02:57, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose, but the manual of Kirby's Adventure still mentions Kirby's Dream Land, and the manual of Kirby's Dream Course still mentions Kirby's Adventure, so shouldn't that be mentioned (not here, obviously, but the series page) since there's some definite continuity here? 208.101.173.66 15:37, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A note

I found in the credits of this game that Masahiro Sakurai was the special advisor for this game. What does this mean?--75.85.111.141 (talk) 22:48, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 30 August 2018

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: not moved per MOS:TITLECAPS. czar 17:41, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror → Kirby & The Amazing Mirror – It officially is "Kirby & The Amazing Mirror" as per ©Nintendo of America Inc. and ©HAL Laboratory Inc. official websites in (all) EN region localizations. - https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/TROz9RsKRnhTl-LiYX7w5plPad9nGttU , http://www.hallab.co.jp/eng/works/detail/002719/ Vipz (talk) 15:36, 30 August 2018 (UTC) --Relisting.

Oppose: Isn't that contrary to MOS:CT? —BarrelProof (talk) 18:49, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Note @Viperision:, we don't necessarily have to use "official" names (see WP:TITLE: "Generally, article titles are based on what the subject is called in reliable sources"). What do reliable sources call it? soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 08:23, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, this is a matter of the styling of the name, not the name itself. Wikipedia has its own Manual of Style that attempts to provide a degree of consistency, and does not necessarily depend on the polling of popularity in sources for such matters as capitalization. —BarrelProof (talk) 16:27, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

I feel like the "reliable sources" (à la internet reviews) either circle-sourced the title for their articles from other unreliable sources at the time (possibly Wikipedia), followed their own MoS similar to this of Wikipedia, or plainly don't care about the title. A game's title is factual, and this one's is in English, and capital "The" comes from a primary source (the game itself), all affiliate sources and even a lot of review sites like the contemporary IGN, 1UP.com and later Nintendo Life. --Vipz (talk) 15:36, 27 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not to loophole, but can it be considered a subtitle, given how most other Kirby games are titled Kirby + subtitle, like Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards? --Vipz (talk) 13:58, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
