As always, each ability has their own unique traits and for certain situations will allow the player to gain access to different parts of the world. Others include a loud bell wielder, an acrobatic circus performer and a precise archer. The rhinoceros-esque beetle is by far the most useful as you can impale those with a dash attack, constantly slash away with the horn and even automatically defend against flying enemies. The majority of the creatures are found in past games, but there are a handful that have never been seen before. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages, and the most suitable choices are made available right before a boss or when there’s a secret area to be discovered. The majority of opponents contain some sort of ability, be it fire breathing, kunai throwing or lance tossing. This is a side scrolling adventure rendered in glorious 3D where Kirby traverses through various lands, sucking up enemies and attaining their powers. If you’re familiar with the gameplay mechanics of traditional Kirby games, you’ll be right at home in Triple Deluxe. Even throughout the boss encounters, there’s no real context to why you’re facing these creatures other than you’re following the flying captor. Being a Kirby game, there’s really not much story to be told here. In fact, King Dedede becomes the victim as he’s captured and Kirby, after a giant sprout lifts his house into the sky, is the one off to rescue him. The story is a little different this time around with King Dedede being replaced as the antagonist by a masked villain named Taranza. Nintendo didn’t take any chances like they did with Kirby’s Epic Yarn as this is back to the series’ traditional format with light new features. Our little hero has changed a lot since he originally debuted, but the first true Kirby game developed on the Nintendo 3DS has revitalized our nostalgia for the series. The core of the series is still here though, with all the metamorphosis and loveable characters we grew up with.
The pixel art side scrolling Kirby is gone, replaced with a fully modelled world featuring nostalgic animations and music. The affable pink balloon-like creature we know as Kirby is back once more, but Nintendo is looking to bring his rounded shape to life in beautiful 3D.
