Kirby's friend, Gooey, is actually the same species as Dark Matter. However, he has no anomosity and even flew up into the sky in a form that resembles a fillet to fight Zero.

Trivia[]

  • Gooey's use of his tongue to ingest enemies is similar to the abilities of Yoshi from the Mario series.
  • The fact that Gooey is a friend of Kirby's proves that even a creature related to Dark Matter has free will and independent thought.
  • In Kirby's Dream Land 3, the player is able to exploit a glitch to regain health. When Kirby has one hit point, he can summon Gooey and then swallow him to gain two more hit points, boosting his vitality to a total of three. Summoning Gooey again will take away the vitality gained, so Kirby cannot do this repeatedly to fully recover.
  • In the Japanese version of Kirby's Dream Land 2, a character named Chao from the Japan-only game Yuyuki made a cameo appearance. Since the reference would understandably be lost on people overseas, she was replaced with the female variant of Gooey. Despite this, however, Chao herself later appears in all releases of Kirby's Dream Land 3 along with Goku, another character from the same game.
  • Although no arms are seen during most of his moves, when holding the parasol after getting it's ability, a single stubby arm can be seen sprouting out of Gooey's body.
  • When Gooey uses the Burning ability, the color of the fire is blue, due to the nature of Gooey's transformations.
  • In Ado's depiction of Gooey, he appears to have a forked tongue, despite appearing with a normal tongue.
