Totem Pole Trench: In the first novel, Kirby and Dedede disguise themselves into a woman named Dedeby by this technique.

Brainwashed and Crazy: Happens a few times over the course of the series. The Taranza of the Dream Kingdom is influenced by the Black Mirror during the events of Kirby Clash Team Unite! The influence is broken after Team Kirby destroys the mirror. In chapter 13 of "Kirby Fighters: The Destined Rivals," King Dedede and Meta Knight fall victim to this after they put on the Masks of Dark Bonds. After Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee beat them up and break the masks, Dedede and Meta Knight go back to normal.

Adaptation Expansion
 Kirby (Light Novel) / int_23473ae7
comment
Adaptation Expansion: Some of the novels based on the games add some extra details for certain characters, objects and/or places. For example: It's revealed in the Kirby Battle Royale adaptation that the Kirby Printer also created Waddle Dee copies before the Kirby copies were processed for eventual creation. When the printer is destroyed near the end of the story, all the copied Kirbys disappear with it (as Kirby's data was still in the printer at the time), but not the Waddle Dees. The Kirby Fighters 2 novel reveals exactly how the Buddy Fighters Tower came to be, thanks to both a mysterious shooting star that crash-landed on Planet Popstar and the Masks of Dark Bonds, which happened to be near the crash-site. The Kirby's Return to Dream Land novel directly shows Magolor excavating the Lor Starcutter in the prologue (in the game, it was only implied) and the fact that the ship has a mind of its own directly comes into play a lot sooner (as early as chapter 7).

Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: If you thought that Kirby get betrayed a lot in the games, the light novel takes it to the next level, where most of the novel-only characters trick or deceive Kirby one way or another, to the point where you can count the exceptions on one hand!

Character Development

comment
Character Development: The entire main cast gets one eventually. Kirby from unreliable and childish kid who only thinks about food all the time to much more responsible and stops inhaling others to get copy abilities without their consent, Waddle Dee from helpless sidekick to Bandana Waddle Dee and Kirby's true companion. Dedede goes from selfish jerk to much more considerate and friendly ally, Meta Knight learns to respect Kirby and works on taming his wild side.

Cast of Snowflakes: Each of the enemies in the games (such as Burning Leo or Blade Knight) are typically represented by a single individual in the novels, meaning almost every single character is unique.

Break the Cutie
 Kirby (Light Novel) / int_4b316d47
comment
Break the Cutie: Kirby, more often than not. In the sixth novel, Magolor betrays Kirby's trust in the end and brought him to tears. In the eight novel, the Meta Knights and Dedede force him to fight Galacta Knight against his will, making him very much uncomfortable. In Super Team Kirby's Big Battle, Kirby falls into depression because he starts to miss his friends from Dream Land.

Early-Installment Weirdness: A small example, but the first novel depicts Meta Knight as flying around in a blimp rather than his trademark ship, the Halberd. Later installments feature the Halberd heavily and the blimp is never shown again.

Level Ate: Madame Parfaitsky's mansion looks like an enormous cake, complete with fake "fruits" and "ice cream" built into the architecture, but none of it is edible. The garden, however, is full of artificial plants made out of sugar and mizuame, trees that inexplicably grow cookies and cakes instead of flowers, and a soda fountain (as in a huge fountain that sprays soda instead of water, not a '50s diner).

Pragmatic Adaptation
 Kirby (Light Novel) / int_603f1a80
comment
Pragmatic Adaptation: The novels that are based on the games are usually this. They can't use all the new locations, set-pieces and bosses, so they focus on fleshing out the most important aspects of the game's story. For example, "Kirby and the Great Planet Robobot Adventure!" heavily delves into the relationship between Susie and President Haltmann.

Sequel Hook: Acti Blade gives this at the end of the third novel, where she tells that she's from a country full of sweets, foreshadowing "Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess". Spear Cotta Knight mentions Seventopia in "Meta Knight and the Puppet Princess", a location which is relevant in the sixth novel "Kirby's Labyrinth Rescue!".

Secret Secret-Keeper: It turns out the entirety of Team Kirby knew Kirby was from a different world by the end of the Super Kirby Clash novel. Although since Kirby arrived because Doctor Kirby used a bell that summons heroes from other worlds, the real question was less how they found out and more how he ever thought it was a secret.

Spared by the Adaptation: In the original Kirby: Planet Robobot game, all traces of President Haltmann have presumably been deleted by Star Dream in the climax. In the light novel adaptation, he survives Star Dream's destruction and regains his memories, leaving to mechanize other planets alongside Susie and Director Kane.

Novelization: Certain novels are almost straight adaptations of then recently released Kirby games, such as "Kirby and the Great Planet Robobot Adventure!" which is obviously based on Kirby: Planet Robobot. Some of the older games also have adaptations, including "Big Trouble in Patch Land", which is an adaptation of Kirby's Epic Yarn (Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, specifically) and "Lor Starcutter and a Magician of Falsehood", which adapts Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
