Kirby: Triple Deluxe is the first Kirby game on the Nintendo 3DS, and the spiritual sequel to Kirby's Return to Dream Land. One of the main gameplay features is hopping from the foreground to the background and vice versa, a feature seen in various other games. There's also an obscene collection of keychains.

Regional Differences

Tutorial Completion

Japanese	International

In the Japanese version of the game, during the tutorial, a red circle will appear whenever an action is properly completed. In the international versions, a green checkmark will appear instead. This was most likely changed to avoid confusion.

This change is also present in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Battle Royale and Kirby Star Allies.

Pause Menu Descriptions

To do: "Beyond the scope of this article?" Other articles have similar sections filled out to the absolute extremities, why should this be the only exception?

While a more in-depth translation is beyond the scope of this article, some descriptions are very different between languages. The most notable is that of Soul of Sectonia's second phase, as the Japanese text is written from Sectonia's point-of-view as she acknowledges and accepts her death, whereas the English text is written in third-person and removes any suicidal implications.

Japanese	English (literal)	English (localization)
「いくどとなく きせいし、のりうつりつづけ、どれが 本当のすがた であったのか… もはや 思い出すことも出来ない。わたしをよぶ声もしたが 今はもう聞こえない。この夜が明けるその前に、とわなる…ねむりを…」	"I have leeched off and possessed countless forms, which one was my real one...? I can't remember any longer. A voice calls out to me, but I can no longer hear it. Before this dawn breaks, I will sleep...forever..."	"She's fed off countless hosts and now cannot remember her true form. A voice called out to help her, but it has since fallen silent. Before the night ends, she must be given her eternal beauty sleep."

Kirby Fighters

Items

Japanese	International

Once again, the Sweet Potato in the Japanese version is changed to a Mint Leaf in the international versions. Although in Kirby's Dream Land the graphics remained the same between regions and only the name was changed, Kirby Triple Deluxe uses different models for different releases, with the Japanese game clearly using a sweet potato and the international games clearly using a leaf. This change carries over to Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Kirby Fighters 2 as well.

Keychains

In addition to other name changes between languages, the Sweet Potato keychain in Japanese is likewise renamed to a Mint Leaf keychain in English.

Dedede's Drum Dash

Canadian French	European French

The French title screen for Dedede's Drum Dash in the European release is different from the American version (which is similar in style to the Japanese version). All other European languages have the same title screen as the American version.

In addition, the stage "Distant Traveler" in the American English version was renamed to "Distant Traveller" to accommodate the Commonwealth spelling used in the British English version.

Spanish Text Differences

Any names after the "/" are European Spanish names. Lines displaying only these differences have been removed from this article:

• "oprime" and its conjugations in the Latin American Spanish version being changed to "prima" and its conjugations for the European Spanish version.
• "aceptar" in the Latin American Spanish version being changed to "vale" in the European Spanish version.

Oddities

• All the DX bosses are internally labeled as "Ex" models, which is a carryover of the EX bosses from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Shadow Dedede is also considered the EX/DX model of Masked Dedede.
• The file for the Mamatee enemy uses the early name "Briterri", in reference to Blipper.
• Level 6-7 features a remix of "The Adventure Begins" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, which is called gck_plants.dspadpcm internally. The gck suggests it was a level theme for the scrapped Kirby Gamecube title that eventually turned into Return to Dream Land. It is also oddly shorter than the track used in that game - perhaps gck_plants.dspadpcm was the original version?

Internal Project Name

The project's internal name is "Parufe", according to strings in the game's code. Parufe (parfait) is a type of dessert.
