This is a great Kirby game, similar to Squeak Squad it doesn't doesn't do anything absurdly new to differentiate itself from the general mainline Kirby games, but it follows the design principles of Kirby's Adventure and does it pretty damn well.
The first thing that stands out with Triple Deluxe to me is the presentation. This is a damn gorgeous colourful kirby game that is very pleasing to the eye. Every world and scenario just has that Kirby charm that Kirby's Adventure established but maximized. Everything has tiny details down to enemies snickering if you manage to miss hitting them. Just so many tiny details that give this game's world so much soul.
Gameplay-wise it is pretty much exactly the same as Kirby's Adventure, most of the copy abilities from that game are back along with some new ones like the Circus or Bell abilities. They are fun to use, but not the most practical. All copy abilities have a big moveset, even Stone which is one of my least favorite copy abilities is so fun to use in this game with it's expanded moveset.
With this being Kirby's first game on the 3DS, most levels are designed around having a foreground and background you can at times switch between. A lot of puzzles and setpieces play with the 3D perspective in creative ways. Of course, you can always play with the 3D turned off and it still won't feel out of place.
The big selling point of this game that is also on the box-art is Kirby's Hypernova, that allows him to just swallow everything in his path. These are cool segments in levels that give this game a more cinematic feel, but doesn't really do anything for the gameplay, it's mostly there for presentation. There are some cool puzzles they hypernova sections to have, but those are usually brief and rare.
I enjoyed my time with Triple Deluxe as going for the 100% was also really fun. Similar to Squeak Squad, 100%ing this game usually has you exploring levels more to find special items, in this game being sun stones, and are usually easy to come by. A lot of them involve solving some sort of puzzle which was fun. One of the better 2D Kirby titles, does everything right - though nothing too groundbreaking.
