Kirby: Triple Deluxe/YMMV

These things about Kirby: Triple Deluxe are subjective - not everyone will agree with all of them.

Ensemble Darkhorse: Taranza. He may only be The Heavy (who you never fight, at that!) but his cute spider design and surprisingly tragic backstory made him a fandom darling. When he became a playable character in Star Allies, fans went wild.
Evil Is Sexy: The Furry Fandom definitely feels this way about Queen Sectonia, who is an eerily beautiful wasp girl with an attractive voice (or at least, attractive Voice Grunting).
Game Breaker: Hammer and Stone count as usual, and Leaf retains this status from Return to Dreamland. But along with them, a few of the new abilities are just as overpowered.
- You might not expect much from the Beetle ability, but it's a ridiculously effective all-purpose tool. Its attacks have cutting and smashing properties, and you've got access to powerful slam attacks a'la Suplex from previous games. And if that wasn't crazy enough, its flight can hurt enemies!
- Arrow lets you deal a ton of damage from a safe distance (fully charged shots hit as hard as Hammer, for reference), and if you crouch? Enemies and bosses can't hurt you. At all. If you don't mind feeling absolutely lame, you can make a total joke out of the Arena and True Arena with this thing.
Goddamned Boss:
- Pyribbit isn't too hard to defeat, but he spends unjust amounts of time in the background and attacks quite unpredictably.
- Coily Rattler's just as bad of an example as Pyribbit is. Hell, he might be even worse thanks to one attack he loves to spam that, if it hits, leads to Kirby being dragged into the background and attacked for several agonizingly slow seconds before you can finally control him again.
Moral Event Horizon: Queen Sectonia crosses this in her introduction by attacking and almost killing Taranza, who's been nothing but loyal to her, because of his failure to defeat Kirby.
That One Boss: While this game's pretty easy even by Kirby standards, there are a few bosses who can put you through the wringer.
- Taranza gives Kracko an extremely potent power boost just before his boss fight, and it isn't just for show: he's fast, aggressive, and during his second phase he starts throwing out tricks like fast-moving body slams, scattershot projectiles, and storms of garbage to hit you with. He also has bottomless pits in his arena, meaning that if you aren't careful, you can die instantly before realizing what just happened.
- If Pyribbit isn't merely a Goddamned Boss to you, odds are he'll count as this. Along with constantly hiding in the background, his fighting style revolves around awkward-to-dodge body slams, setting parts of the ground on fire, and nailing you with aimed tongue lash attacks that come out fast.
- The final boss has nothing on the fight that comes before her. Masked Dedede is a monstrously powerful Lightning Bruiser who viciously hounds you with spinning attacks that can clear the entire stage in half a second as well as plenty of attacks that home in on you. His dark blob attack is just as annoying to dodge as Pyribbit's body slam thanks to the awkward way it bounces across the screen.
