Kirby: Triple Deluxe

KIRBY: TRIPLE DELUXE


And now for the game that took me way too long to realize the title was just a fancy way of saying it's on the 3DS and not an implication that it was supposed to be a compilation game with three older games inside it. The story starts out with Kirby's house and most of Dream Land being carried up into the sky by a giant beanstalk, followed shortly by a spider-wizard-thing kidnapping King Dedede.

Kirby is our main character, as always, and brings with him most of his basics, as well as a new Hypernova ability which is basically his inhale ability on steroids. His new copy abilities include: Archer, which lets him fire arrows in multiple directions; Beetle, which gives him wings to fly with and a horn to charge and grab with; Bell, that lets him use sonic attacks and throw the bells as projectiles; and Circus, which lets him juggle, jump through hoops, perform acrobatics, balance on a ball, and pop balloon animals. These join Beam, Bomb, Crash, Cutter, Fighter, Fire, Hammer, Ice, Leaf, Mike, Needle, Ninja, Parasol, Sleep, Spark, Spear, Stone, Sword, Wheel, Whip, and Wing.

King Dedede is our main supporting character, the "despot-in-distress" for most of the game, but later having a boss battle as the brainwashed Masked Dedede wielding a giant axe. With this axe, he can spin around rapidly, knock energy orbs at Kirby, blow fire, shoot missiles, and slam it into the ground for massive shockwaves and explosions. Bandana Waddle Dee also appears, tossing out items to help Kirby.

Taranza is a spider mage who kidnaps King Dedede. He can create and toss energy orbs, use magic to knock people aside, fly, and use webs to catch and hold people. He does all this for the glory of his Queen Sectonia, who has been corrupted by the Dimension Mirror. During her battle, she fires energy orbs, flies, fights with a rapier, shoots lightning, creates illusions of herself, teleports, send out minions, and finally becomes one with the beanstalk as Flowered Sectonia. Last but not least, Dark Meta Knight appears in a bonus section, attacking with a lot of his same spin, stabs, thrusts, and slashes, creating tornados, shooting beams, summoning swords from mirrors along the ground, and creating copies of himself.

As for the bosses, Flowery Woods is an offshoot of Whispy Woods, attacking with pollen, gusts of air, roots, jumping into the foreground, and tossing spinning blade flowers. Paintra is a painter who fights with energy orbs, painting the screen, attacking with her brush, spinning to send paint everywhere, firing paint, and drawing items to bring to life. Kracko returns attacking with rain, lightning, beam attacks, spikes, and enemies like always. Coily Rattler is a giant snake that spits flaming rock, attacks with its tail, leaps into the air, rolls across the stage, splits into projectile segments, and, well, biting. Pyribbit is a lava frog that can spit fire, attack with his tongue, toss boulders, leap high into the air, causes waves of lava, causes an eruption, and spews lava.

As for our mini-bosses, they include Blocky, Bonkers (with a flying hammer spin now), a Flame Galboros, Gigant Edge, a Grand Wheelie, Hornhead (a giant beetle that charges with its horn), and Mr. Frosty. Another set of mini-bosses can only be fought in Hypernova mode, including four giant moles called the Mowlee Bros., three giant birds called Gigant Chicks, a steel fortress manned by Waddle Dees, a possessing ghost called King Phanta, and four fat dragons wiht shields called Winged Eggers.

Our non-copy enemies include the returning Barbar, Kabu, Blipper, Bronto Burt, Broom Hatter, Cappy, Chip, Como, Craby, Degout, Glunk, Gordo, Grizzo, Scarfy, Key Dee, Mumbies, Nidoo, Pacto, Shelt, Soarar, Squishy, and Waddle Dees (including those that swing on ropes and wield axes), alongside the newcomers Burner Guardian, Grandy, Mamatee, Pacflower, Phanta, Spookstep, and Springy Hand.

The stages include the basic Fine Fields, a candy land called Lollipop Land, the throwback area Old Odyssey, the jungle Wild World, the volcanic Endless Explosions, the final stage Royal Road, and the final battle area Eternal Dreamland. We could also just do the Dreamstalk itself, so . . .
