Thanks for the translation of Nintendo Everythingwe can now know that the newest Kirby mechanic has actually been up and running for a while, as seen in the following quote by Kumazaki:
When creating the game, we revisited the mystery and shape-shifting nature of Kirby. The idea of Mouth Mode has been around for a while. When we learned this game was going to be something new in the series, we started with the “What is Kirby?” conversation. We wanted to allow Kirby to do things that current human characters can’t. That idea combined with the challenge of creating something new became the concept of Oral Mode.
