Beetle Kirby has a very nice hat. Thus, it is a good power.

I do agree that Beetle is my favorite power in this game largely from a design aesthetic.

Kirby was my favorite GB game, and I loved the franchise ever since, though I haven't actually played that many of the games. Kind of weird, that... But oh well.

If I wanted to wait around on the boss to kill them I'd just play without a power. The reason I like powers is because I can lay into the boss at will

This is seriously one of the best games on the 3DS and it cannot be stated enough how fun this game is. It also has one of the best boss themes I've ever heard in a game and also some of the best bosses! I love this game so much. :allears:

That's why you use the air-attack stomp when they don't have stars out on the field. It's fast enough that the damage adds up quickly, and throws do a lot of damage.

Kirby Triple Deluxe is a good game and everyone should buy it. The aesthetic is absolutely adorable, and the various puzzle gimmicks are all done in fun ways.

Medibot, are you going to show off the keychain collections in more depth? Some of the designs look great up close.

Kirby's only dietary restriction is that everything must be delicious, and this is a Kirby game, so everything is delicious.

They needed some new way of saying Kirby 3D, since just putting it that way has been overdone since the 64.

"Most plans are critically flawed by their own logic. A failure at any step will ruin everything after it. That's just basic cause and effect. It's easy for a good plan to fall apart. Therefore, a plan that has no attachment to logic cannot be stopped."
Man, Kirby will always be my favorite. Kirby's Dream Land was the first video game I ever played, ever. I was three years old, playing it on my aunt's Game Boy. This was back before Kirby was a household name, right around the time Kirby's Adventure came out. Super Star is still my favorite, but Triple Deluxe is easily on par with Return to Dream Land and Kirby 64. My only complaint is that they still haven't brought back Yo-Yo, nor Helpers. Then again, I'd be content if they just made updated remakes of Super Star every few years, so I might be biased.

this checks out. I like to think of this game's title as something that might've been lost in translation, but so far it has a nice rehash of everything, hence the triple and the deluxe. Even the goal game and dancing have been spectacular. :3:

And it had three game modes on the menu at the start of the game, so triple deluxe still applied on the 2DS version.

It is, actually. Kirby Super Star for the SNES was called Kirby Super Deluxe in Japan. The title's in homage to that; they didn't change it to Kirby Triple Star or something for American audiences because they wanted to keep the whole '3D' thing. (See also the number of DS titles with (D-word) (S-word) in the name. Or the number of GBA titles called 'Advance(d)'. In fact, most of Nintendo's consoles have been offenders in this regard.)

It makes for more interesting titles than "Name of Series X" for once-per-console game series, at least.

Admittedly, up until the last set of levels I would always get rid of my current ability and Inhale the Miracle Fruit. I'm just a little sad that you didn't, but I admit it's important to note that you'll get any abilities back after Hypernova passes.

At least you can re-calibrate the gyro immediately in case something goes wrong. And I'm pretty sure you can use the Circle Pad for some of them. I don't know if you can do that for all of them.

Ah wow, I never would've thought to check the calibration. Most of the tilting stuff wasn't hard, per se, but I hated the ones where you have to move the block to keep the cannon fuse lit. They're usually simple but I get stressed out and mess up when there's a little fire timer coming at me.

Evening, patrolmaaan.
I like that King Dedede has gone from being an antagonist to being the damsel in distress in this game.
In most of the games King Dedede had a good reason for doing what he was doing but he was still a guy you had to fight, now he and Kirby are just pals.

Oh, Triple Deluxe is a great entry to Kirby, especially the main gimmick. It's the best gimmick to a Kirby game I can ever imagine. It's also the logical extreme Kirby would go.

The major downside to this is that the next game will never think up anything better. Still, I hope the next Smash game will turn this gimmick into Kirby's Final Smash.

I'm hoping for an improvement of the Hypernova power. Hopefully by making his non-inhale abilities super too. At least just the slide kick or air shot.

I was surprised when I heard this game came out. At first I thought it was just some sort of weird 3DS port of Return to Dreamland, but then the Hypernova power hits and things get AWESOME.

I love that Kirby games are so simple that it takes very little to make the tiny guy awesome. All of the features and Secrets are great. And of course, I missed the Hal room. Again. Why can I never find these things!?

You might change your tune later in the game. I think the 3D models were the better choice for a game like this.

Edit: and by that I mean all the foreground and background stuff. That would look terrible with rescaled sprites but 3D models don't have that problem.

The game looks really great, especially in 3D. They did a good job with that. I don't think I've had any framerate drops happen with it on either.
