'''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]].

After merging with the Dreamstalk, Queen Sectonia summons a lot 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.

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]].

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.

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.
