'''''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''''' is a game released for the [[Nintendo 3DS]] in 2014 and serves as the tenth [[Canon|main series]] ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' game (not including remakes). It is a 2.5-D platformer with a special mechanic that allows [[Kirby]] and other characters to change to and interact with different planes, thus adding limited three-dimensional interactivity to the gameplay. In addition, the game makes use of the 3DS's built-in motion controls for certain gameplay elements, including [[tilt bowl]]s, [[3D Tilt Missile]]s, and [[Tilt Gondola]]s. Finally, the game marks the debut (and only) appearance of the [[Hypernova]] ability, which drastically enhances the power and reach of Kirby's signature [[inhale]].

==Story==
==Story==
The main Story Mode of ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' takes place in the sky-bound kingdom of [[Floralia]]. Kirby is brought up to this kingdom when a giant plant called the [[Dreamstalk]] lifts [[Kirby's House|his house]] into the air. [[Castle Dedede]] is also lifted up, from which a strange arachnid mage named [[Taranza]] is seen kidnapping [[King Dedede|its king]]. Kirby gives chase after them through the six major islands of Floralia, dealing with [[Boss|many large enemies]] which Taranza summons or aggravates to slow Kirby down. As Kirby ascends, he collects [[Sun Stone]]s to grow the Dreamstalk further, giving him a bridge to each island in turn. He also encounters a number of [[Miracle Fruit]]s which grants him the powerful [[Hypernova]] ability when consumed. At the highest island - [[Royal Road]] - Kirby finds and frees a number of imprisoned flower sprites who are known as the [[People of the Sky]].

He also encounters a number of [[Miracle Fruit]]s which grants him the powerful [[Hypernova]] ability when consumed. At the highest island - [[Royal Road]] - Kirby finds and frees a number of imprisoned flower sprites who are known as the [[People of the Sky]].


Once Kirby finally catches up to Taranza at the palace atop Royal Road, the arachnid mage explains how it was his objective to capture the hero of [[Dream Land]] in order to stop him messing up his and his [[Queen Sectonia|queen]]'s plans for domination. He then uses his magic to take control of King Dedede and have him fight Kirby while wearing [[Masked Dedede|a familiar mask]]. Kirby defeats Dedede and breaks the spell, making it clear who the real hero of Dream Land actually is. At this realization, Taranza calls upon Queen Sectonia to save him, but the furious queen instead swats him away for his failures. From there, Kirby and the queen do battle.

At this realization, Taranza calls upon Queen Sectonia to save him, but the furious queen instead swats him away for his failures. From there, Kirby and the queen do battle.


Queen Sectonia is overpowered by Kirby, and forced to retreat, using her magic to merge with the [[Dreamstalk]], thus beginning the process of strangling Floralia and the rest of planet [[Popstar]] of all its energy. King Dedede regains consciousness, and with the help of the freed People of the Sky, launches Kirby toward the main stalk of the now [[Flowered Sectonia]]. They fight until the sun comes up, but just as Kirby is about to seize victory, the queen ensnares him with a vine and begins to squeeze him. At this, King Dedede and Taranza (with a change of heart) come to Kirby's rescue, freeing him and giving him one more [[Miracle Fruit]] to use against the queen. Kirby finishes off Flowered Sectonia by inhaling her giant laser blast and spitting it back out at her, destroying her utterly. This done, Kirby is ferried back home by the People of the Sky, and the Dreamstalk is purified, going into full bloom and becoming a permanent fixture of Dream Land.

This game plays very similarly to its predecessor, ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]''. It even has several of the same [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] and items, such as the [[Key]]. However, the main new gameplay element is the divide between the foreground and the background.

*The title of ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' has multiple meanings. It can be compressed to "3D", which emphasizes the 3D elements of the game, but it could also be read as "DDD", which can help to explain [[King Dedede]]'s prominence in the game. It also references the Japanese title of ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', ''Kirby Super Deluxe''.
*The title of ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' has multiple meanings. Initially, the developers wished to have a title that would convey the idea of an adventure on floating islands, but instead decided on the final title due to it being short and catchy, easily understood worldwide, and emphasizing the game's use of the Nintendo 3DS's features. It can be compressed to "3D", which emphasizes the 3D elements of the game, as well as King Dedede's prominence ("Dedede" is three "D"s). It can also be read as "3DX", which incorporates "X" — 10 in Roman numbers — since this game is the tenth traditional ''Kirby'' platformer.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20160110174846/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHj2Znm1dQ Archived Miiverse post celebrating ''Triple Deluxe''{{'}}s first anniversary]</ref> Lastly, it references the Japanese title of ''[[Kirby Super Star]]'', ''Kirby Super Deluxe''.

He jumps into it, and the animation loops.
