The pattern was selected by being reproduced on cloth. It was the spiritual successor of ''Jaguar Mishin Sashi Senyou Soft: Mario Family'', a Japan-only Game Boy Color game that operated exactly the same way. Screenshots and promotional artwork confirm several of the patterns that could have been embroidered. These included Kirby in four poses, Ribbon, Waddle Dee, Emp, and Chacha. ==Cancellation== The program was showcased along with the embroidery machine at Nintendo Space World 2001 with a release date of September 10th, 2001,<ref>[https://start-game.com/2015/07/guia-oficial-nintendo-spaceworld-2001/ Spaceworld 2001 Guidebook Scan featuring info about the game.] Retrieved 17 Jun '18</ref> and the price going for ¥6,800 (or $62.99 U.S. dollars as of 4/26/2021). However, the plans to retail it outside of the event were scrapped for unknown reasons, likely due to its predecessor's poor sales, and the embroidery machine's inaccessibility to the game's target audience. ==Availability== Only 2 screenshots of the game existed initially, including what would of been the logo on the box art. On September 9th, 2020, on 4chan, an archive labelled platinum.7z was leaked to the public. Inside it were among other things the Game Boy Lot Check (which includes both Game Boy and Game Boy Color master ROMs of diverse games, including those that never saw the light of day). Among them was either the final build or a release candidate of ''Kirby Family'', seemingly content complete. The ROM is entirely compatible with the embroidery machine and functions identically to had the game been released commercially.<ref>[https://tcrf.net/Jaguar_Mishin_Sashi_Senyou_Soft:_Kirby_Family Info about the game.] Retrieved 16 Feb '21</ref> ==Gallery== <gallery mode=packed heights=175px> KFam_Scr2.gif|Screenshot of the title screen from the build showcased at Spaceworld 2001.
