Kirby Triple Deluxe offers a delightful variety of levels, each with its own unique charm and style. Despite sharing themes, the game manages to keep things fresh and engaging throughout. This reminds me of Wario Land 4.
However, one minor annoyance lies in the Sunstone collection mechanic. To progress, players are required to gather these Sunstones scattered throughout each level, which can feel cumbersome.
It is not that bad, you most likely will find all the Sunstones you need while playing the levels and won't need to replay them over and over.
I am just not a big fan of having to collect stuff in order to progress in general.
One standout aspect of Kirby Triple Deluxe is the remarkable usage of the 3D-System's 3D-feature. The developers skillfully play with depth perception and add a layer of excitement to the gameplay. I think I might have enjoyed it even more, if I was playing on a 3DS model (I have a N2DSXL).
While the game is undoubtedly enjoyable, some gameplay features feel a bit overused. It would have been nice to see more variety in certain mechanics to keep the gameplay fresh.
One glaring flaw is the final boss fight, which drags on for far too long. While the initial excitement is present, it quickly becomes a test of endurance. A shorter, punchier battle, for e.g. only the first three stages, would have been enough. The unnecessary length can dampen the overall satisfaction and makes it feel like a chore.
As a nostalgic nod to fans of Kirby's Dream Land on the GameBoy (and maybe other Kirby games), a lot of the music in Kirby Triple Deluxe is a lovely throwback. The familiar tunes add an extra layer of warmth and enjoyment to the overall gaming experience.
Kirby Triple Deluxe offers unique and captivating levels that will keep you engaged. Although the Sunstone collection can be bothersome, the 3D-feature and lovely soundtrack make up for the minor shortcomings.
