Kirby Triple Deluxe
This time, our pink puffball isn’t just floating around, he’s climbing up and down hyper-detailed 3D stages, using new powers like the Hypernova ability to gobble up everything (seriously, even trees and bosses aren’t safe ). The story kicks off when a mysterious beanstalk launches Dream Land into the sky, and an evil king named Taranza kidnaps Dedede. Of course, Kirby’s gotta save the day, hopping between lush forests, fiery volcanoes, and even a creepy circus. The game’s got all the classic Kirby goodness: copy abilities, hidden collectibles, and those satisfying boss fights, but with a fresh layer of depth (literally, thanks to the 3D effect!).

Triple Deluxe is peak Kirby, simple but addictive, easy to pick up but surprisingly deep if you wanna 100% it. The level design is flawless, using the 3DS’s parallax effect to make stages feel layered, with Kirby jumping between foreground and background like a platforming pro. The new Hypernova ability is stupid fun, letting Kirby go full black hole mode, but it’s not overused, just enough to keep things hype. The copy abilities are as wild as ever, and the soundtrack? Bops. Straight-up bops.
That said, it’s still Kirby, so don’t expect a brutal challenge until the post-game, where the Dededetour mode and the True Arena will test your skills. The story’s lighthearted, but King Dedede’s subplot adds a tiny bit of drama (for Kirby standards, anyway). So, if you’re here for a vibrant, feel-good adventure with tons of personality, Triple Deluxe delivers. It’s Kirby at his most polished, colorful, chaotic, and just plain fun.
