Nintendo Gaming / Problem with Kirby game...seriously...

I think you have a pirated copy. I imported Super Mario World (Super Mario Advance 2) before it was released in the US and got a pirated version. It is easy to tell, compare the screw on the back with a legitimate cartridge. If the screw is a regular Phillips (cross) screw, then it is pirated. Nintendo uses security screws called "Tri-Wing" and "Gamebit" screws for their products.
After opening it, I could see that a battery was strapped to a chip and was using SRAM to simulate EEPROM. The software on the ROM must have been modified, because some things would save and others would not. The ROM chip itself was a blob of black manufactured directly on the circuit board.
