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 flowers 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. The game's pause-screen description of Flowery Woods states that it had been an ordinary flower blooming in Floralia until Taranza used his magic to make it grow large and hostile.
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.
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.
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. 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;
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.
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 Stars that appear following the majority of Flowery Woods' attacks.
