Trivia[edit]

  • This enemy was originally called アメーバ (Amoeba) in the concept art, a type of cell or organism in real life which has the ability to alter its shape. In its early designs, various common enemies in theKirby series were originally considered to be the core of this creature.
  • This enemy's name seems to be a throwback toFloaty the Drifter, though the two enemies have very little in common.
  • Floaty the Cell Core is one of the few common enemies that appear inThe Ultimate Choice.
