Despite his appearance, King D-Mind has no relation to Dedede. The reason for the resemblance, as explained by Shinya Kumazaki in an interview, is because Dark Taranza created what he considered to be the most powerful warrior, a reference to Taranza thinking Dedede to be Dream Land's hero.

Part of an interview for Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. Translation by syzekrom on tumblr. English names added in parenthesis by me for clarity.

Kumazaki: Given that Taranza manipulated Great King Dedede as the Hero of the Lower World in "Kirby of the Stars: Triple Deluxe", King D-Mind was created from the "Distorted Mirror" (Black Mirror, though according to its page on WiKirby, the name is the same in Japanese. However, I don't know what else this could be referring to.) as what Dark Taranza considers the most savage individual. The backstory of "Kirby of the Stars: The Great Labyrinth of Mirrors" (Kirby & The Amazing Mirror) is that "Evil minds were gathered and born within the Dimension Mirror". This time, Taranza's evil mind gathers in King D-Mind, who is not the actual Great King Dedede, and consequently, Dark Mind emerges from within his body. Dark Taranza produced what he considered to be the strongest warrior, but despite his efforts, in the end he'll be discarded, a development typical for Taranza.

As revealed in a Miiverse post about Kirby Triple Deluxe, the different colors of musical notes correspond to which composer wrote the song. Songs composed by Jun Ishikawa have red notes while those composed by Hirokazu Ando have blue notes.

Part of a Miiverse post about Kirby Triple Deluxe posted by Satoshi Ishida and quoting Shinya Kumazaki. Specific names of the composers have been added by me in parenthesis for clarity.

In addition, you may notice the musical notes floating in the background while each track plays. Those actually have a little secret to them. The music in the Kirby series is created by two different composers. The songs with the red musical notes were composed by someone who's been on board since Kirby's Dream Land. (Jun Ishikawa) The blue notes appear for songs created by the second composer (Hirozaku Ando), who joined the team for Kirby's Adventure.

Coo is the only one of the Animal Friends from Kirby's Dream Land 2 to not gain a romantic partner in Dream Land 3, so while the partners of Rick and Kine feature as Dress-Up Masks in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, Coo gets a variant based on his monochrome look in his first appearance.

The Doctor ability in Kirby Planet Robobot is an obvious reference to Dr. Mario, specifically, his depiction in the Super Smash Bros. series. The reference even comes full circle, as scanning a Dr. Mario amiibo grants Kirby the Doctor ability.

The marketing for Star Crossed World (and by marketing I mean this one instagram post) put special emphasis on the fact that Kirby was returning. The last Kirby game was only 2 in a half years ago. (Which I suppose equates to 5 years for adjusting for Kirbflation)

HAL rooms are a staple in the Kirby series, but the first HAL room is actually in a Japanese exclusive educational game. Unlike the HAL rooms in the Kirby games, this one is not hidden and is found by beating a certain amount of levels in Mode 3.

The HAL room in Kirby's Adventure is inaccessible in Nightmare in Dream Land due to the game loading in objects differently. If one loaded Kirby into the area via external means, they could see that the Broom Hatter has been removed.

Despite the name, Eternal Dreamland from Kirby Triple Deluxe has nothing to do with the main setting of the series (note the lack of spacing between dream and land). The dreamland here refers to literal sleep.
