New bugs
6-2 Fighter Clip
By pressing B and then holding B in quick succession, Fighter Kirby will perform jabs into a rising hit, then charge up a shot while airborne.
If you let go of the 2nd B press at the right time, instead of shooting, Kirby will perform more jabs in the air that can lead into a rising hit again.
Doing this in a certain spot in 6-2 allows Kirby to clip into a ceiling at the top of the screen.
Confirmed on all game versions.

8-2 Blockin Clip
At the end of 8-2, after collecting the big chest, a Blockin spawns near the exit.
You can clip inside of walls if you float up against it.
Confirmed on all game versions.

Ninja Invincibility Bug
In 8-2, as Ninja, using the attack that grabs an enemy, using that on a fish while moving inside water, causes Kirby to not take damage from another enemy.
Confirmed on all game versions.

Animal Bug
As Animal Kirby, when using a dashing attack on an enemy (the one where he scratches the enemy's face), if Kirby touches water during the attack, the attack will be canceled and the enemy will be stuck in the air indefinitely. This can be done effectively on some enemies in 8-2 with the strangely shaped bodies of water.
- Kirby will not take take damage from enemies while the glitch is in effect.
- Ditching the ability will despawn the stuck enemy. However, when doing the bug again with a 2nd enemy, the 1st enemy will be stuck in the air even when ditching the ability.
- Enemies stuck in the air will not despawn from being too far offscreen.
This happens only on the Japanese version. On other game versions, Kirby will continue the attack even underwater.

8-3 Bad Collision
In 8-3, in the room with a lot of dirt, there is a ceiling that has improper collision.
This only works on the Japanese version.

Cannon Bug
After entering a cannon while inhaling, if a bubble or ability star comes into reach, Kirby will inhalte it and fall down from the cannon and be invisible.
- When done with a cannon that spins infinitely, it will continue to spin infinitely. It cannot be entered again while it is spinning.
- When done with a cannon that spins only once before shooting, it will continue to spin once and then shoot nothing, after which it can be entered again.
- Entering any cannon while the glitch is in effect causes Kirby to fall out of the cannon immediately after touching it.
- After entering a new room, Kirby will still be invisible. This lasts until you acquire a new ability.
- This bug can be used to enter a part of 4-3 where you are normally shot from cannon to cannon.
This works only on the Japanese version.

Laser Bug
At the start of 6-2, the player can shoot regular lasers via UFO or Laser ability against a left ledge which makes them be stuck in the air.
Getting several lasers stuck like that will eventually cause sprite bugs and lag.
- This can also be done at the beginning of 8-1, if the first platform has moved up and Kirby is positioned between the platform and the right ledge as UFO Kirby.
- Fully charged laser from Laser Kirby can get stuck, but semi or fully charged lasers from UFO Kirby cannot.
- You can get a fully charged laser from Laser Kirby stuck at the beginning of 8-1 if you charge it up while the platform moves up and then let go near the top of the platform's path.
Confirmed on all game versions.
