Completionists will surely enjoy the myriad of keychains which are hidden on each stage, some are common but certain hard-to-find ones will net you a rarer one. Collecting a minimum amount will unlock the boss battle, while collecting them all gains you access to an extra bonus stage. The most interesting obtainable items are the Sunstones, of which there are between two to five per stage. Throughout the stages you'll come across food items to restore health and 'star pieces', of which you can collect up to a hundred to gain Kirby an extra life, in addition to picking up lives outright. Taking place on the Dreamstalk, which connects six floating islands, you need to beat all stages in each 'Level', plus a boss encounter, to extend the reach of the Dreamstalk to the next area. literally I would rather say no more than that as the plot is actually fantastic, at least for a Kirby title, but suffice to say it works well in moving things along a decent pace. Our story starts with a beanstalk capturing Kirby's House and King Dedede's castle, some evil guy then kidnaps King Dedede so it's up to Kirby to save the day. The two latter examples I'll get to, but first it seems only right to praise this title's main adventure as it's worth the entry price alone.

This includes a fully-fledged story to play through, along with a fantastic fighting game and a rhythm action experience quite unlike any other. Taking a leaf from Kirby Superstar Ultra on the DS, you get three modes of play in Kirby Triple Deluxe. Everyone's favourite pink protagonist is back! It had to happen sooner or later being that Kirby has appeared on every single Nintendo console since the NES in many different forms.
