Trivia[edit]
- The design of the disc label is based on that for theKirby Wii Music Selection andKirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack, which released two years prior. Apart from necessary changes in title text, the disc label here differs in that the artwork is green-on-white rather than silver-on-blue/gold-on-blue, the stars are replaced with flowers, andTaranza appears in place ofMagolor/Kirby.
- The CD is the only standaloneKirby game soundtrack to receive a physical international release, and one of the few CDs containingKirby music in any form to be released outside of Japan (the others beingSmashing...Live!, theKirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack, andSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U: A Smashing Soundtrack). As mainlineKirby games prior toKirby and the Forgotten Land did not name tracks in the actual games, the international release of this soundtrack gaveKirby: Triple Deluxe an unusually high number of official track titles in English.
