{{about|the form [[Queen Sectonia]] takes when merging with the [[Dreamstalk]]|Queen Sectonia in a general context|[[Queen Sectonia]]}}
'''Flowered Sectonia''',{{DataTitle}} known as '''Sectonia's Flower''' in the British English version (though still just referred to as "'''[[Queen Sectonia]]'''" in-game), is the final [[boss]] of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''{{'}}s Story Mode, and appears as the final boss of [[The Arena]] in that game as well. Queen Sectonia takes on this form by merging with the [[Dreamstalk]] as a last resort to destroy [[Kirby]] and subsume everything she can see, including [[Floralia]] and [[Dream Land]].

==Boss battle==
This final battle has three phases in the Story Mode, though only the second phase (the first battle) is fought in [[The Arena]].

===Sectonia Vine===
{{quote|Sectonia's parasitic species survives by {{color|orange|leeching power}} from other life forms until they're weak enough to be {{color|orange|controlled}}. The People of the Sky and King Dedede decided to fight back in an effort to {{color|orange|save the planet Popstar}} from the evil queen.|'''VS Sectonia Vine''', Special Page in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''}}
After merging with the Dreamstalk, Queen Sectonia summons a large amount of vines to impede Kirby's progress (called '''Sectonia Vine''' in-game). [[King Dedede]] and the [[People of the Sky]] appear to help Kirby break through the barrier. They do this by bringing in a cannon, using Kirby as the cannonball. The player controls King Dedede with the [[Nintendo 3DS]] gyroscope to aim the cannon and fire Kirby at the vines' weak points. Otherwise, Kirby will ricochet off the vines and take damage. After clearing the vines away, Kirby is then fired directly into the next phase.

This phase is in Story Mode only and does not appear in [[The Arena]].

===First battle===

{{quote|Sectonia has unleashed her terrible beauty.

The primary body of Flowered Sectonia in this form is revealed in the background as Kirby must make his way toward her. During this phase, Kirby has to hit the eye stalks to deal damage.

The following lists all of Flowered Sectonia's attacks. Note that most of the attack names are taken from official Japanese strategy guides unless otherwise stated:

|-
! '''Attack'''
! '''Description'''
|-
| '''フローラルファイア弾'''<br>''Floral Fire Bullet''

| {{center|The eye stalks turn into swords and can attack Kirby with multiple forms including: horizontal strikes; diagonal strikes; coming down from above and a few slashes in one direction. Each form leaves Stars in different ways. The eye stalks may perform different forms at the same time and repeat the move.}}
|-
| '''ジャイアントナッツ'''<br>''Giant Nuts''
| {{center|The eye stalks transform into spiky balls and try to ram Kirby. When four eye stalks are used for this attack, they may try to come from the other side after the first charge and finish by coming from the background. They each leave one or two Stars after finishing.<br>Sometimes, two or three eye stalks transform into spiky balls and bounce between the background and the arena while aiming at Kirby's position. They leave one Star each afterwards.}}
|-
| '''フローラルボム'''<br>''Floral Bomb''
| {{center|The eye stalks each drop one big orange coconut that explodes either when Kirby collides with it or after a set time. If they get dropped into a [[bottomless pit]], Kirby can inhale and swallow them for the [[Bomb]] ability.}}
|-
| '''フローラルカノン'''<br>''Floral Cannon''
| {{center|The eye stalks fire powerful lasers in multiple patterns, which leave Stars. The lasers may be fired in several waves. With four eye stalks, the lasers become harder to dodge and are more numerous.}}
|-
| '''フローラルスパーク弾'''<br>''Floral Spark Bullet''
| {{center|Two eye stalks line up on opposite ends of the field and fire multiple electrical coconuts from above, which can be inhaled and swallowed for the [[Spark]] ability. They afterwards move to the middle and repeat, before finishing off on the side from which the other eye stalk began.}}

| '''フローラルカッター'''<br>''Floral Cutter''
| {{center|The eye stalks start rotating quickly in the background and dive forwards facing upwards. Afterwards they attack in a similar manner from the foreground before finishing off from the background spinning facing toward the camera, making them harder to avoid. Each round leaves stars, though the last one drops more than the others.}}

| '''フローラルレイ：カルテット'''<br>''Floral Ray: Quartet''
| {{center|The four eye stalks position themselves in the shape of a diamond, one each in the background and foreground, along with two on the same plane as Kirby, and charge electricity between them.

|-
| '''デスブルーム'''<br>''Death Bloom''

===Second battle===
[[File:KTD Queen Sectonia second form battle 7.png|thumb|250px|The final Hypernova inhaling sequence, which requires the player to rotate the +Control Pad or Circle Pad.]]
After the first battle, the queen is not defeated yet and takes a vine and grabs Kirby, in an attempt to finish him by constriction. At this moment, King Dedede and Taranza come to save Kirby. They do this by first releasing him from the bind, then feeding him a [[Miracle Fruit]] to activate [[Hypernova]].

The last part of the final battle takes place with Kirby using Hypernova to deflect the queen's last line of defense. All projectiles from the queen can be inhaled and spat back at the eye stalks. At the very end of the fight, Kirby inhales a power beam fired from the queen's primary stalk, her leaves, and [[Fourth wall|even her depleted health bar]]. Then, Kirby spits them back to vaporize her. However, if Kirby does not attack, Queen Sectonia will fire her giant laser at him, causing him to bounce all over the screen.

This phase is in Story Mode only and does not appear in The Arena.
{{main|Soul of Sectonia}}
In The True Arena, however, '''Soul of Sectonia''' is not defeated yet after the first battle. The queen will spurt out from the Dreamstalk with only her upper body left, and will challenge Kirby in the true final battle of the game.

==Music==
{{main|Fatal Blooms in Moonlight}}
{{main|The World to Win}}
Two tracks are used for the final battle with Flowered Sectonia:
*'''"Fatal Blooms in Moonlight"''' plays during the first battle.
*'''"The World to Win"''' plays during the second battle.

==Trivia==
*Much like in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', the first letters of each level name spell out a hint to the nature of this boss. When collected, the letters spell out 'FLOWERED', which describes the nature of her merge with the Dreamstalk.
**In the [[Theater]], the movie where the People of the Sky celebrates Sectonia's final defeat and the Dreamstalk in bloom is also titled "FLOWERED".
**This way of hint was first used in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' ([[Magolor]] and '[[C-R-O-W-N-E-D]]'), and would be later used in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' ([[Star Dream]] and 'PROGRAM').
*Located in <tt>RomFS/msg/(name of language folder)/GameInfo.msbt</tt> of the game's files lies an unused name, "Flowered Sectonia," under the entry BossNameSectniaflower, most likely intended for the battle against the Dreamstalk-fused Queen Sectonia. Interestingly the name was translated into all the languages ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' supports through this file.<ref>https://tcrf.net/Kirby:_Triple_Deluxe#Boss_Health_Bar_Names</ref>
