The Star Rod (Kirby's Adventure), Triple Star (Kirby Squeak Squad) and Magic Brush (Kirby Canvas Curse), all one figure.
Meta-Knight and Galacta Knight.
The Hal Laboratory Logo.
Kirby's sprite from Kirby's Adventure.
HAL Rooms
In Level 1, Stage 4, go all the way at the end in the first part of the level and walk into the dead end and go all left until you will see a gap and go into the bush with a black area, and you will find the HAL room. In In Level 6, Stage 5, in the 3rd room, go all the way at the end and fly up to those conveyor belts and go into that black area at the top of the conveyor belt. You will go into the cannon room and it will shoot you, and you will see the HAL blocks.
Hard version of Stage 5-5
Once you enter stage 5-5, float above the doorway and you'll see what looks like a window with three bars on it. Press up to enter it as you would a normal doorway and you'll go through a much harder version of the stage. The four sections are 1) Water Galborus, 2) King Doo followed by Dubior, 3) Kibble Blade & Gigant Edge, 4) Bonkers & Moundo. In addition to being against harder enemies, the fights take place in smaller than normal areas. You can get the four Energy Spheres and the path is available on EX mode.
Level Names
If you look at all of the level names (not including another dimension) and take the first letter of each one, you will see that in order they spell out "CROWNED", ending with Dangerous Dinner where Magolor gets Landia's crown.
