Trivia[]
- Kirby's Epic Yarn was rated so good that its critical reception was the most positive out of all Kirby games.
- Instead of saying "Grass feels like pants," at the intro of the North American version of the game, Kirby says "Grass feels like trousers" in the European version of the game.
- Kirby's Epic Yarn and Yoshi's Story are very similar to one another. The early levels in Yoshi's Story, as well as the whole game in Kirby's Epic Yarn are made of crafts materials. Both games are the first of their series to go onto a current generation console.
- This is the first game since Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards where Kirby's voice is heard on a current generation console outside of the Super Smash Bros. series.
- Meta Knight's mask does not fall off after he is defeated. His eyes flash from purple to yellow to show that he is being controlled by Yin-Yarn.
- This is the second Kirby game where currency is used, the other being Kirby Super Star Ultra.
- This is the first Kirby game to have a narration, as well as captions.
- Kirby's Epic Yarn is one of the few Kirby games to lack Copy Abilities.
- Kirby does not get a snorkel when he enters water in this game, much like in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
- Kirby's Epic Yarn is one of, or if not, the only Kirby game where the Warp Star is not present at all.
- One of the many fabrics that Kirby can collect is called the "Fabricom fabric". This fabric features many Fabricom designs and is obviously a reference to the game console.
- This game is the only game so far to have an ability for underwater purposes.
- This game is one of the few Kirby games where completing the sub-games is required for 100% completion. The other games that feature this include Kirby's Dream Land 2 and Kirby's Dream Land 3.
- Kirby's yarn whip greatly resembles the Whip Copy Ability in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.
