* ShockAndAwe: Of course you can get and use electric abilities in a Kirby game, but in this title the amount of ways you can fry the critters of Popstar with a lighting bolt has been multiplied. We have the classics Spark and Beam; but newcomers ESP and Doctor, as well as the returning UFO, can also inflict electric damage. Considering the technological setting of the game, it is not surprising. These powers are exploited in the new puzzle gimmick that involves powering devices or activating mechanisms with wires and plugs scattered through the stages.
** The Robobot modes for Beam, Spark and ESP also use electricity-based attacks.

** Much like the Mr. Frosty examples from ''Super Star'' and ''Triple Deluxe'', the King Doo battle in Patched Plains stage 4 and the second Security Force battle in Access Ark stage 1 can be effectively skipped by entering battle with the Invincible Candy still in effect.
** Successfully navigating the Remocodroid in stage 2 of the Access Ark to the end of its section and pressing the background switch quickly will drop the Security Force mid-boss down a bottomless pit before it can even get the chance to attack.
