Trivia
- Iron Mom was likely named Iron Mam (likely pronounced "Iron Ma'am") in the English translation of Kirby Super Star Ultra to make a pun on Iron Man, a Marvel Comics super hero.
- Notably, Iron Man is the protagonist of his franchise wearing a metal suit. Iron Mam's face bears a striking resemblance to Kirby's -- Kirby is obviously the main protagonist of the series -- and Iron Mam wears a metal suit.
- Iron Mam seems to resemble Waddle Dee (or even Kirby) with armor.
- Jukid, another mid-boss of Kirby Super Star, acts very similarly in attack pattern.
- Also, both Jukid and Iron Mam have detached hands.
- Iron Mam wears red shoes that resemble those of Meta Knight in all of her in-game appearances and in Kirby Super Star artwork; however, in her Kirby Super Star Ultra artwork, she appears to have red feet that that are the similar to those Kirby possesses.
