Tatsuya Kamiyama, the director of Kirby and the Forgotten Land, explained that the biggest challenge in creating a 3D Kirby game was Kirby's spherical shape, which made it difficult to tell which way he was facing when seen from behind. To solve this problem, the game's ranged attacks automatically target enemies based on a points system, with additional corrections for depth to prevent attacks from missing in a frustrating way. The game received a 9.5/10 review score.
HAL Laboratory's executive director and director have answered some of the most pressing questions about Kirby, including what's inside Kirby, what happens when Kirby swallows another Kirby, and what happens to the enemies that Kirby swallows. According to the directors, Kirby's insides are filled with dreams, nothing special happens when Kirby swallows another Kirby, and enemies that Kirby swallows do not get digested but instead resurface somewhere else in the game world.
The directors of Kirby games, Shinya Kumazaki and Tatsuya Kamiyama, spoke about the creative process behind Kirby games and answered some of the most pressing questions about the iconic character. They revealed that Kirby is a neutral character and could potentially fall in love if it fits the story, but his main love is delicious food. They also stated that if Kirby swallowed another Kirby, nothing special would happen, and the creatures he swallows do not get digested but instead resurface somewhere else in the world. Finally, they confirmed that if Kirby swallowed a hot man, he would gain the man's muscles and power but still have a round face.
