In 2021, a speedrunner working with a group effort to decompile the game uncovered a cheat code that can turn a 0% save file into a 100% save file, likely used by the game's developers for debug purposes. To use the code, you must first plug in two controllers, turn on the game and create a new save on File 3. It does not matter if there is save data or not on File 1, but File 2 must have no save data. Then reset the game and, using the second controller, hold L when the Nintendo & HAL Laboratory logos appear and press C-Up/C-Up/R/C-Right/C-Left/Start. The 1-Up sound effect will play if done successfully, and File 3 will now hold a 100% save file.
This code can be executed on every release of the game except for the Wii Virtual Console release due to the lack of C-Button mapping for that version.

The boss of Shiver Star, HR-H, has a second phase known as HR-E that chases Kirby down the metallic road they are fighting on while the road's tiles fall away behind it. If you take too long to defeat HR-E by using up the nearly 4 minutes this segment lasts for, new road tiles will stop generating, creating a dead end that forces Kirby into a bottomless pit, losing the fight.

The electric/cutter mix ability is most likely a reference to Darth Maul's dual sided lightsaber from the film Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.

Shiver Star, the game's 5th world, appears to be a frozen-over version of Earth, containing several uninhabited urban areas. Nintendo has confirmed that Shiver Star was once inhabited, but the climate drove them to evacuate the planet. This has led fans to speculate that Shiver Star is a post-apocalyptic version of Earth. Though Nintendo's intentions during the making of Shiver Star remains unknown, it can be inferred that the world is either a message about climate change, or the suggestion that the "Kirby" series takes place in our own universe.
