{{quote|Today I would like to introduce Flowery Woods, the boss of Level 1: Fine Fields. This boss starts out as just a single flower blooming in the field. However, when Taranza casts a spell on it, it turns into Flowery Woods. After losing all its grace as a little flower, Flowery Woods not only attacks Kirby with large seeds and air shots, but jumps into the background and attacks from afar with long vines.

Flowery Woods starts off with only two attacks, and the battle is markedly similar to the one with [[Whispy Woods]] in the early games. Once Flowery is down to half-health however, it jumps into the background and unleashes a great deal of new attacks, much more than Whispy had, even in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''.


Flowery Woods' first battle phase plays similarly to the standard Whispy Woods battle; it stays rooted on the right side of the battlefield and cycles through three simple attacks: 1) two or three of the large blossoms drop their golden fruit onto the ground, which roll towards [[Kirby]] (much like Whispy's apples); 2) Flowery Woods blows two consecutive bursts of air at Kirby; and 3) Flowery Woods blows four consecutive bursts of air at Kirby.
When re-fought in Royal Road, it may also perform its Stomp Jump before the second phase.


If Kirby does not possess a [[Copy Ability]], this boss phase can still taken out by inhaling the blossoms' fruit and spitting them out at Flowery Woods.
[[File:KTD Flowery Woods Phase 2.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Flowery Woods uses the first attack of '''Growth Root''' in the second phase.]]


The second battle phase is significantly more complicated than the first, as it brings the background into play; this phase shares some similarities with Whispy Woods' second battle phase in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards|Kirby 64]]''. Flowery Woods begins by jumping onto the landmass in the background, making itself unable to be attacked directly. Its new attacks (which go in order once and then may randomize) is as follows: 1) several of the large blossoms drop fruit, which roll at random angles into the foreground; 2) Flowery Woods burrows its roots into the ground, causing five large root-ends to jut out from under the foreground's floor at even intervals and random angles like large spikes; 3) Flowery Woods spits out three consecutive air bursts at Kirby then six consecutive bursts across the length of the foreground; 4) Flowery Woods jumps into the foreground, growing slightly larger before slamming down onto the spot where Kirby had been standing when it initially jumped; 5) Flowery Woods returns to the background, and four of the razor-sharp blossoms consecutively enter the foreground, spinning and aimed at Kirby; 6) Flowery Woods again burrows its roots into the ground, resulting in two of them protruding from the ground on either side of Flowery Woods, and they grow straight out into the foreground, targeting the sides of the battlefield; 7) Flowery Woods jumps onto the left side of the background and repeats the previous attack, its roots growing into the center and right side of the foreground; [[File:FloweryWoods_Phase2.jpg|right|thumb|250px|Flowery Woods' second battle phase]]8) Flowery Woods jumps onto the right side of the background and grows its roots into the center and left side of the foreground; 9) Flowery Woods repositions itself in the center of the background and burrows its roots into the ground again, this time, causing one enormous root to come out of the ground on each side of Flowery Woods, which slam straight down into the foreground, separate and sweep into the sides, then sweep back together; 10) Flowery Woods jumps into the center of the foreground and burrows its roots into the ground, causing a spike-like root to jut out of the ground on the far side of the battlefield at a random angle on each side of it; 11) Flowery Woods repeats its previous attack, the roots instead jutting out of the ground right next to Flowery Woods; 12) Flowery Woods repeats attack #4, except before returning to the background, it jumps up, grows slightly larger, and slams down on Kirby's (previous) position two additional times in a row; and 13) (after repeating attack #1) Flowery Woods jumps into the center of the foreground and blows several consecutive air bursts at Kirby in close quarters.
The following lists all of Flowery Woods' attacks in Story Mode and [[The Arena]] in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. Attack names are from official Japanese strategy guides.

Whenever Flowery Woods is in the background, it cannot be damaged directly. However, Kirby can attack its roots (in any of their forms) whenever they are present in the foreground, which damages the boss as if it were being hit directly. Objects that can be inhaled and spat out at Flowery Woods (or its roots) in the second phase of battle are the golden fruits, the razor-sharp blossoms themselves, and the [[Star]]s that appear following the majority of Flowery Woods' attacks.

When defeated, Flowery Woods flies into the air and bounces around before landing on the platform from Phase 2, which slants, with Flowery sliding down. It then sheds a single tear much like how its original counterpart does when defeated.

“ Once a small blooming flower native to the floating kingdom of Floralia, Flowery Woods has become hostile and overgrown due to the magic of Dedede's mysterious kidnapper, Taranza. Watch out for this tree's razor-sharp blossoms! ”
— Triple Deluxe Boss description

Flowery Woods is a boss in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. It bears a strikingly similar appearance to Whispy Woods, only with a green trunk at the base of which flowers bloom, a small flower blooming from the tip of its nose, and large, razor-sharp blossoms blooming from star-shaped clusters of smaller flowers that replace the expected apples and leaves, respectively. Flowery Woods is the boss of Triple Deluxe's first Level, Fine Fields, and it is also battled in The Arena and in Stage 4 of Royal Road.

Battle[edit]

“ Today I would like to introduce Flowery Woods, the boss of Level 1: Fine Fields. This boss starts out as just a single flower blooming in the field. However, when Taranza casts a spell on it, it turns into Flowery Woods. After losing all its grace as a little flower, Flowery Woods not only attacks Kirby with large seeds and air shots, but jumps into the background and attacks from afar with long vines. Make sure you check out the flower’s transformation scene into Flowery Woods – it’s quite a sight! ”
— Satoshi Ishida, Miiverse post on 06/16/2014 9:20 AM

Flowery Woods starts off with only two attacks, and the battle is markedly similar to the one with Whispy Woods in the early games. Once Flowery is down to half-health however, it jumps into the background and unleashes a great deal of new attacks, much more than Whispy had, even in Kirby's Return to Dream Land.

When re-fought in Royal Road, it may also perform its Stomp Jump before the second phase.

Flowery Woods uses the first attack of Growth Root in the second phase.

The following lists all of Flowery Woods' attacks in Story Mode and The Arena in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Attack names are from official Japanese strategy guides.

Flowery Woods' attacks
Attack Description
花粉弾
Pollen Bullet
Flowery Woods drops two or three big grains of pollen from its flowers that bounce along the ground. In phase 2, Flowery Woods drops four or six huge grains of pollen from the background that bounce into the foreground in a semi-erratic manner. The pollen can be inhaled and spat back at the boss.
空気弾
Air Bullet
Flowery Woods spits two, four or six puffs of air that travel a short distance then home in on Kirby's positioning. In the second phase, this attack is done from the background and Flowery Woods fires three or six at a time.
Second phase only  
グロース・ルート
Growth Root
While in the background, Flowery Woods digs its roots into the ground, which spring out of the ground as spikes, one at a time, up to five. Attacking them deals damage. Each one leaves a star when it retracts.
Flowery Woods may also dig its roots into the ground, which spring out just before the foreground and curl into place both left and right of center stage, leaving stars as they retract. Flowery Woods then jumps to a side and extends its roots again to cover the majority of the stage with roots (only leaving the side it is on exposed), following that with the same maneuver on the other side. Flowery Woods then finishes by creating two giant roots that slam down on the left and right edges of the stage, then move together in an attempt to squish anything in the middle. The roots can be attacked to deal damage.
ジャンププレス
Stomp Jump
From the background, Flowery uproots and jumps into the air, then moves into the foreground, grows somewhat in size, and attempts to stomp Kirby. This creates stars on both sides of the tree on impact. Flowery Woods may attempt multiple jumps in one go. It may combine a Stomp Jump that homes in on Kirby's positioning before following up with a Growth Root attack or spitting out some Air Bullets.
フラワーブーメラン
Flower Boomerang
While in the background, Flowery Woods sends its four blossoms out as spinning rotary blades that move into the foreground. These can be inhaled and spat back at Flowery Woods, or swallowed for the Cutter Ability.

Whenever Flowery Woods is in the background, it cannot be damaged directly. However, Kirby can attack its roots (in any of their forms) whenever they are present in the foreground, which damages the boss as if it were being hit directly. Objects that can be inhaled and spat out at Flowery Woods (or its roots) in the second phase of battle are the pollen boulders, the razor-sharp blossoms themselves (which can instead be swallowed to gain the Cutter ability), and the Stars that appear following the majority of Flowery Woods' attacks.

When defeated, Flowery Woods flies into the air and bounces around before landing on the platform from Phase 2, which slants, with Flowery sliding down. It then sheds a single tear much like how its original counterpart does when defeated.

“ This once-small flower has grown to a deluxe size and has gone berserk! Its relation to Whispy Woods, which makes its home in Dream Land, is unknown. ”

Flowery Woods DX.

A more powerful version of this boss, Flowery Woods DX, is battled at the end of Lv. 1 of Dededetour! and in The True Arena. Flowery Woods DX is generally darker than the first Flowery Woods, with a dark red trunk, purple roots, and green leaves, looking more like Whispy Woods as a result of these color changes. The large clumps of leaves are now more diamond shaped, instead of stars, and the flowers on Flowery Woods DX's trunk and treetop have pointed petals, instead of the curved ones of the previous incarnation.

In Dededetour!, King Dedede trips before Flowery Woods DX, starting the fight.

The following lists all attacks and what enhancements they got in comparison to their normal counterparts. Attack names are from official Japanese strategy guides.

Trivia[edit]

  • According to Flowery Woods DX's pause-screen description, Flowery Woods' relation to Whispy Woods is unknown. It is interesting to note that while Whispy has lived in Dream Land for a long time, Flowery Woods is merely an ordinary flower in Floralia, the kingdom in Dream Land's sky, until Taranza uses his magic during the events of Kirby: Triple Deluxe to turn it into the monster that Kirby faces.
  • Flowery Woods makes a brief appearance in Stage 5 of Royal Road, fighting the same way it did back in Fine Fields' boss stage. Unfortunately for it, however, Kirby is in possession of the Hypernova ability, and Flowery is sucked in (along with its health bar) in one fell swoop.
    • This technically makes it the only boss in the series that Kirby can inhale when fighting it.
