Kirby: Triple Deluxe



Kirby: Triple Deluxe is a 2014 platform video game in the Kirby series that was developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the thirteenth platformer, and tenth mainline installment in the series. It received praise for its level design, soundtrack, and graphics, but was criticised for its easy difficulty.

On a bright and sunny day in Dream Land, Kirby spent his day eating, sleeping, fishing, and riding his warp star home. That night, while Kirby was sleeping, a giant beanstalk called the Dreamstalk began to grow under Dream Land and carried Kirby's house and Castle Dedede into the sky. When Kirby wakes up the next morning, he finds himself in a new land called Floralia, located high in the skies above Dream Land. Kirby makes his way to Dedede's Castle and finds that the culprit behind the Dreamstalk is a six-armed, spider/tarantula-like being named Taranza, who has defeated the Waddle Dee guards and captured King Dedede. Now it's up to Kirby to save the King...

In terms of gameplay, Kirby is a 2.5 platformer with the usual gimmick of Kirby being able to suck enemies and absorb the abilities of a few. It allows the player to interact and move through different planes, giving the game some three-dimension properties. It also introduces Hypernova, a power-up which drastically enhances power and reach of Kirby's signature suck move.


 * Advancing Wall of Doom: Stage 5-3 contains several of walls of grain terrain with spikes on the surface. And they get increasingly harder to escape thanks to smaller or narrower spaces and/or more frequent enemies.
 * Art Attacker: Paintra, who is herself a living painting, makes her painting of weapons turn into reality or uses the paint of her brush to try to kill Kirby.
 * Art Initiates Life: Taranza animates Paintra out of a painting to attack Kirby at the end of World 2.
 * Big Bad:.
 * Black Hole Belly: As if his classic inhale wasn't enough, Kirby can enhance his inhale in this game with the Hypernova ability by finding a Miracle Fruit.
 * Brainwashed and Crazy:
 * Dude in Distress: King Dedede is this for most of the game.
 * Excuse Plot: Subverted..
 * Frickin' Laser Beams: The machines on stage 2-2 often block Kirby's paths with lasers that damage the player character if touched.
