Overview
Kirby: Triple Deluxe is a 2014 platform game developed by HAL Laboratory and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 3DS. It is the tenth main installment of the Kirby series.

Notes for collectors
- A 2.5D platformer where Kirby moves between the foreground and background; enemies also attack from the background.
- The Miracle Fruit turns Kirby into Hypernova Kirby, who can inhale huge objects.
- The main game is single-player; Kirby Fighters is a Smash Bros. style fighting game and Dedede's Drum Dash is a rhythm game.
- Collectible keychains show characters from earlier Kirby games.
- Both extra games were later sold on their own as Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe.
