(You have to unpack all eight .dat files!)
There's nothing more in the .dat files than the files my little tool can extract from them. I can load the extracted .mesh files into
OGRE mesh viewer or
Ogre Meshy and see the 3D models, including Kirby and his sidekick.
The GZIPs were false detection, there's no GZIP-compressed data in the .dat files. The compression algorithm of PNG pictures and GZIP archives is similar ("deflate", a derivative of LZ77) but that doesn't make PNG pictures special cases of GZIP.
