**[Background of Release]**
"Pizza Potato" is a product that recreates the authentic taste of pizza by topping potato chips with cheese-flavored flakes and parsley. The rich cheese flavor is achieved through a unique "Melt Flake Method," where cheese-flavored flakes are melted onto freshly fried hot potato chips. Since its launch in 1992, the cheese blend and package design have been updated over time, and in 2024, it was renewed as the 15th generation "Pizza Potato." In addition to the standard "Pizza Potato," many limited-time flavors have been released to date.
The "Kirby of the Stars" game first appeared in 1992. "Pizza Potato" was also launched in the same year, 1992. Since both have been loved by a wide range of generations, from children to adults, for a long time, this collaboration has now been realized. Three types of package designs will be available, adding fun and color to store shelves alongside the regular "Pizza Potato" packages. This product is sure to be enjoyed by both "Pizza Potato" fans and "Kirby of the Stars" fans.
