Sliding off ledges
When you begin a slide, your speed is faster and gradually slows down. It is overall slower to slide this game. The sliding state however is canceled if you fall off an edge meaning using the speed boost from slides at edges will save you a few frames each time. Sliding is also canceled immediately if you slide into a wall which can be useful in some places.
Float Momentum Preservation
If you let go of all directional buttons the moment you press A to blow up, you will preserve horizontal speed.
Soft Reseting
To soft reset in Katam, press A+B+START+SELECT at the same time. The timing to do this when the fadeout fades back into Kirby for the Kirby dance after the mirror shard clicks into place. Video showing exactly when you can soft reset is below.

Float Canceling
Pressing A will start a float, however pressing B right after will cancel the animation and make Kirby inhale / use his ability. This can be used to gain a little bit more height before using your ability such as wheel
This gap isn't possible to make with a regular wheel jump
Ducking through Shotzos
The Shotzo's hitbox only occupies the upper half of the sprite, meaning you can slide under it with a well timed duck.
