I belive that the Electric/Cutter ability from Kirby 64 is a clear refrence to the character Darth Maul from the film "Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace"
I can prove it in 3 simple steps.
1. JUST LOOK AT IT! It's hard to deny that this is not a refrence to Darth Maul's famous double-sided lightsaber.
Comparison:

2. The Weapon itself makes lightsabery sounds when used.

3. This refrence would make perfect sense considering Phantom Menace came out in 1999, one year prior to Kirby 64.
