Hmmm...
To do:
  • Document the unused DebugSquatWait state for Archer Kirby. It actually works here too.
  • Regional differences between Spanish and French versions of the game.

Kirby Fighters Deluxe is an expanded version of the Kirby Fighters subgame from Kirby: Triple Deluxe released as a standalone game through the Nintendo 3DS eShop. It's a platform fighter that shares some gameplay elements with the Super Smash Bros. series, but with some good ol' Kirby VS. Kirby VS. Kirby VS. Kirby action. It later got a sequel for the Nintendo Switch under the name of Kirby Fighters 2.

Unused Animations

Most enemies and characters have all of their animations (including unused ones) returning from Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Only new unused animations will be documented, with a few notable exceptions being made.

Dyna Blade

Dyna Blade has a test animation titled "TopL" that consists of her hovering slowly in a default stance. The result is very... frightening.

Unused Moves

Some abilities still have animations for moves that appeared in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, but were cut in this game. Please not that, like with the previous game's article, our good friend Waddle Dee from Kirby Battle Royale will be here to show you the unused animations instead due to strange visibility issues with Kirby's model.

Bell

Despite having all of its Mint code removed, Bell still has animations for the moves "Floating Ring-ding" and "Underwater Twin Ring-ding".

Hammer

Like with Bell, Hammer has an animation for the move "Underwater Wheel". All the Mint related to it was removed as well.

Sword

Lastly, Sword has an animation for "Underwater Spin". Its situation is no different to that of Bell and Hammer's.

Unused Graphics

Original Bubbly Clouds Leftovers

The background of Bubbly Clouds in the original Kirby Fighters was completely different. It actually borrowed assets from Kirby Super Star Ultra. In this game, the whole background has been completely overhauled. However, the textures for the original background still reside within the model file for the stage, located in RomFS/gfx/STD/Fight/Decoration/BubblyClouds/BG.bch.cmp.

There are some parts of the texture that are used, but they have been removed here for the sake of clarity.

Empty Debug Scripts

Found in RomFS/mint/Fight.bin.cmp, two Mint debug scripts are mentioned under Scn.Fight.Debug, called "DamageMonitor" and "GeneralDrawer", but they're completely empty. Additionally, one more empty script is mentioned in Scn.Fight, called "DebugFightSettingProxy".

Unused Ability Constants

Fight.bin.cmp, the main Mint archive, has lots of unused Copy Ability animation constant entries under Scn.Fight.Hero.AnimKind. The abilities icluded are Ice, Crash, Stone, Spark, Spear, Fire, Wheel, and Stone.

Unseen Stage Elements

Various stages have some extra geometry with astonishing amounts of detail that the player isn't normally able to see.

Bubbly Clouds

The beautiful space background corresponding to Bubbly Clouds extends a lot vertically and horizontally.

Springy Hand Land

Similarly, Springy Hand Land's background wall is massively tall.

Fountain of Dreams

The Fountain of Dreams's skybox has a strange darkish cyan texture at the bottom. Additionally, the grassy terrain stretches very far horizontally.

Secret Fountain of Dreams

The secret Fountain of Dreams has much more sky than the player can see.

English Text Differences

While Kirby Fighters Deluxe doesn't have much text, the American English and European English version have various differences within their messages.

As such, not-so-obvious changes will be highlighted.

Oddities

  • The filenames for Bomber's textures in this game, along with Kirby: Triple Deluxe and Kirby: Planet Robobot have the Ch prefix despite the fact that Bomber was completely absent in the original version of Kirby's Return to Dream Land, combined with the fact that the textures also aren't compatible with the Super Smash Bros. Brawl model, where the prefix is both mainly used.

Internal Project Name

The game's Internal Name is "Pizza", according to the sound archive and a file called ExHeader.bin.
