Qbby meeting Kirby in the Robobot Armor.

Some of the comic strips have the same gag as the previous game, with Qbby dressing up as Kirby only to find out that Kirby is watching him. These include Qbby dressing up as Hammer Kirby, and him dressing up in an armor imitating Kirby's Robobot Armor, only to have Kirby show up in the original armor.

The game also features compatibility with the four Kirby amiibo, that unlock Qbby skins based on the respective character, as well as changing Qbby's blocks into Sar Blocks from the Kirby series.
Scanning a Kirby, King Dedede or Meta Knight amiibo from the Super Smash Bros. series has the same effect, but that's considered incidental, since the developers likely had the Kirby line of amiibo in mind when including the feature, as promotional images also imply.
