Kirby: Triple Deluxe is the first Kirby game on the Nintendo 3DS, and the spiritual sequel to Kirby's Return to Dream Land. One of the main gameplay features is hopping from the foreground to the background and vice versa, a feature seen in various other games. There's also an obscene collection of keychains.

Unused Animations

Enemy Test Animations

Many enemies have test animations titled "TopL". Most of these animations are based on pre-existing animations, but they're noticeably broken.

Invincible Candy

The Invincible Candy has one short unused animation that consists of the little star on it tilting side to side. It's titled "TopL". Kirby's Return to Dream Land also has a similar unused animation, but it's slightly slower.

Gyro Cannon

The Gyro Cannon has an unused test animation also called "TopL". It's essentially a slowed down version of the regular launching animation. You may have to click this one to animate it.

Unused Models

Test Room Parts

For some reason, various test room parts are found in RomFS/gfx/STD/Step/Decoration/Boss5/Parts.bch.cmp. "Boss5" is the folder corresponding to Pyribbit's stage, the boss that resides within Endless Explosions. No other Boss stage folder has these parts.

Untextured "Toy" Tileset Parts

Inside RomFS/Parufe America/gfx/STD/Step/Decoration/Toy/Land.bhc.cmp, there are various untextured tiles.

Another Dimension Platforms

Inside RomFS/gfx/STD/Fight/Decoration/LastStage/Land.bch.cmp is the model for Another Dimension's foreground. Floating above what is normally seen in game are a pair of unused platforms. Only one is finished, as the one on the right doesn't have its surface modeled. This may suggest that the battle stage Another Dimension was planned to host platforms similarly to Flower Land.

Unused Graphics

itembox.00

Found in RomFS/gfx/STD/Fight/Item/ItemBox.bch.cmp is an unused and earlier texture for the Blue Item Box that appears in Kirby Fighters. The main difference is that the final version uses a lighter shade of blue.

Shadow Dedede

Shadow Dedede's model file, located in RomFS/gfx/STD/Step/Enemy/Maskeddedede/ModelEx.bch.cmp contains an unused texture depicting regular Dedede's appearance in grayscale. This was most likely an earlier and more simple take on his design that more closely resembled Shadow Kirby and Dark Meta Knight. The final model uses a more sinister black-and-red color scheme with solid white eyes.

Boss Health Bar Names

Queen Sectonia has two unused health bar names located in RomFS/msg/(language folder)/GameInfo.msbt. One is for her vines in the 3D Cannon segment in Eternal Dreamland, while the other is for her form while fused with the Dreamstalk. While "Sectonia Vine" can be seen in a pause menu header as "VS Sectonia Vine", this boss health bar name is not used in any capacity. These names are localized into all supported languages.

Japanese American English European English French German Italian Spanish Korean
Sectonia Vine (セクトニア ヴァイン) Sectonia Vine Plante Sectonia Sectonia-Ranke Queen Sectonia tralcio Enredadera de Sectonia Sectonia Vine (세크토니아 바인)
Queen Sectonia (クィン・セクトニア) Flowered Sectonia Sectonia's Flower Fleur de Sectonia Blumen-Sectonia Queen Sectonia fiorita Sectonia Florida Queen Sectonia (퀸 세크토니아)

Notably, the official Japanese player's guide uses the name "Sectonia Flowered" (セクトニアフラワード) to refer to Sectonia's Dreamstalk-fused flower minions. This name is not seen in-game, even in the internal files, but it is likely that this is what the localized names are based upon.

Unused Sound Effects

This game's sound archive is based, if not, directly lifted from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, meaning that the unused sound effects inside that game's Wave Archives are still here, including the leftover sounds from the cancelled Kirby for Nintendo GameCube. This is the case for most future Kirby games. As such, only new unused sound effects will be shown below.

Sound Name Location Description
WAV 1 GUESS B FGM FIGHT RomFS/snd/Parufe.bcsar/WARC_28_GUESS_B_COPY_FIGHT1.bcwar A sound possibly meant to be used in Kirby Fighters. Has similar instrumentation to various sounds in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
WAV 0 GUESS COPY BELL1 RomFS/snd/Parufe.bcsar/WARC_28_GUESS_B_COPY_BELL1.bcwar A generic bell ding for the copy ability Bell. It's similar to a sound from Kirby: Canvas Curse used in Rainbow Run.
WAV 1 GUESS COPY BELL1 RomFS/snd/Parufe.bcsar/WARC_28_GUESS_B_COPY_BELL1.bcwar Another sound for Bell. Similar to a sound for Temple Bell in Kirby Fighters Deluxe.
WAV 0 GUESS B COPY CIRCUS1 RomFS/snd/Parufe.bcsar/WARC_29_GUESS_B_COPY_CIRCUS1.bcwar A sound meant for the Circus Copy Ability. The context is unknown.

Unused Moves

Many Copy Abilities that appeared in Kirby's Return to Dream Land have been nerfed in Kirby: Triple Deluxe via the removal of some of their moves. A lot of these moves, however, have all of their Mint coding still present in their archive, located in RomFS/mint/Step.bin.cmp under Scn.Step.Hero.

Please note that due to visibility problems with Kirby's model, our good friend Waddle Dee from Kirby Battle Royale will be used to display the animations instead, as they share a similar body shape and bones. No further editing was done.

Archer

While Archer is an ability original to this game, it does have one unused move. The only state it has is called "StateDebugSquatWait", but it appears to be empty. Kirby Fighters 2 brings back this script with actual functionality: When using the "Camouflage" technique and pressing the B Button, Kirby won't attack and instead will cycle through all of the cardboard desings that the Camouflage can spawn.

Beam

The attack "Revolution Beam" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, activated by repeatedly pressing 1/B in mid-air, has fully coded Mint animation scripts, states, and even all of its animations Kirby's Return to Dream Land are back. While it has everything in needs to work, it can't actually be used in-game, and only the regular Beam Whip will be activated. It has two animations scripts called "AnimScriptRevolution" and "AnimScriptRevolutionEnd", and one state called "StateRevolution".

Circus

Circus is another ability original to this game that has an unused move. It has an animation script called "AnimScriptDebugBalloon" and a state titled "StateDebugBalloon". While it is currently unknown what it does, one can assume that it involves the attack "Balloon Pop Art" in a way similar to Archer's DebugSquat, with the Balloons cycling through their multiple forms when pressing with B.

Fire

Fire's "Spinning Fire Breath" attack from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, done by pressing 1/B in mid-air, has an animation script titled "AnimScriptSpiral" and a state called "StateSpiral". It also has both of its animations from Kirby's Return to Dream Land in its motion archive, but like Beam, it cannot be used in-game, as only the regular Fire Breath comes out.

Hammer

Similarly, Hammer's "Triple Hammer" attack from Kirby's Return to Dream Land activated by holding 1/B and then releasing it has animations, an animation script called "AnimScriptTripleHammer" and a state called "StateTripleHammer". Kirby will never begin charging his hammer, and will only do a regular Hammer Attack. This didn't stop Hammer from being the best ability in the game, though. The Triple Hammer lacks any of its particle effects.

Ice

Ice's "Ice Ball", performed by pressing down + 1/B while running in Kirby's Return to Dream Land is still here. It has every animation required for it, as well as two animation scripts called "AnimScriptTackle" and "AnimScriptTackleEnd" and two states called "StateTackle" and "StateTackleEnd". It even has the model for the ball of ice Kirby is encased in while doing the attack, complete with an animation. This move would later see the light of day once more in Kirby: Planet Robobot and Kirby Star Allies, with the former directly reusing the unused assets.

Spark

The attacks "Thunderbolt" and "Lightning Strike" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land that were activated by pushing up + 1/B and down + 1/B in the air respectively have a lot of animation and state scripts, as well as the animations from the previous game. Thunderbolt has the animation script "AnimScriptOver" and the state "StateOver", while Lightning Strike has the animation script "AnimScriptUnder" and state "StateUnder". Like with Ice, both attacks returned in Kirby: Planet Robobot, but their range was drastically nerfed. Bummer. A move that allows Kirby to dash in the air appears here, which is of similar usage to the move Light-Speed Dash that was later added to Plasma Kirby in Kirby Star Allies. Despite not requiring an electric charge, this dash move consumes it all.

Spear

The "Triple Throw" attack from Kirby's Return to Dream Land has the animation script "AnimScriptTripleThrow" and the state "StateTripleThrow" and three unused animations. However, in this case, the charging and walking animations for Triple Throw are actually used, as the player can hold their regular Spear Throw and walk while holding it. Their effects and sound effects are missing in its remnants, though. This attack technically makes an appearance in Kirby Star Allies, but is instead used by Bandana Waddle Dee, as the Spear ability was cut.

Ninja

The "Air Quad Shock" attack from Kirby's Return to Dream Land that is activated by pressing and holding 1/B in the air near an enemy. It has the animation script "AnimScriptSlashReverse" and the state "StateSlashReverse" but disabled using its grounded instruction and it has an unused animation. It has its animation from Kirby's Return to Dream Land in its motion archive, but it cannot be used in-game, as it can only be used on the ground.

Unused Sample Code

Inside the "Etc.bin.cmp" Mint archive, located in RomFS/mint, there's some sample code under Scn.Nakano.Sample.IntValue(), which was presumably put into the game by Hiroaki Nakano, the main programmer. This is most likely a leftover from the development of Triple Deluxe's version of Mint.

int IntValue()

fenter 2, 0, 2
ldsrc4 r0, 0x1
ldsrc4 r1, 0x2
addi32 r0, r0, r1
ldsrc4 r1, 0x3
addi32 r0, r0, r1
fret   r0

Unused Debug Scripts

Inside RomFS/mint/Step.bin.cmp under Scn.Step.Debug, there lie three Debug debug scripts that appear to be empty. They're called "CameraFilterMaxSizeCamera", "DamageMonitor" and "GeneralDrawer". The first one returns in Kirby Star Allies, albeit still empty, while the last two also appear to be in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, while still being very empty. One more script is mentioned in Scn.Step, called "DebugStepSettingProxy", but it's... you guessed it, empty.

Unused Scene Data

The fdg archive, located in RomFS/fdg/Archive.dat, has unused scene data for non-existent Dedede's Drum Dash test maps. All of them contain the path "gfx/STD/Den/Decoration/Lv1/BG.bch.cmp" in Asset Group 2.

Regional Differences

Tutorial Completion

Japanese International
KTDTutorialJP.png KTDTutorialInt.png

In the Japanese version of the game, during the tutorial, a red circle will appear whenever an action is properly completed. In the international versions, a green checkmark will appear instead. This is likely because tests in Japanese schools have circles represent correct answers while check marks represent wrong answers, whereas it is the opposite in international schools.

This change is also present in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, Kirby: Planet Robobot, Kirby Battle Royale and Kirby Star Allies.

Level Names

The level names are written in English in the Japanese version; when the first letters of each are put together, they spell "FLOWERED". While the English and Korean versions used these names with only minor modifications, other language translations changed them in order to translate the acronym. ("FLORALES" in Spanish, "FLEURIE" in French, etc.)

Likewise, the names of the musical themes for the Dedede's Drum Dash levels were changed.

Ability Names

Hmmm...
To do:
Add the rest of the names from the French, German, Italian, Spanish and Korean versions

Some of the Copy Abilities had their names changed for the other language versions.

Japanese English
Big Bang (ビッグバン) Hypernova
Sniper (スナイパー) Archer

Boss Names

All the bosses also had their names changed for the other language versions.

Pyribbit's Spanish name, Pirobúho, interestingly translates to "Pyro-Owl", even though Pyribbit resembles a frog much more than an owl. This name has been retained in all future games. The German name of Dark Meta Knight's Revenge, Meta-Knights Dunkle Rache, is also odd: it translates to "Meta Knight's Dark Revenge". In every other instance, including his Keychain in this game, Dark Meta Knight is correctly translated into German as "Dark Meta-Knight".

Pause Menu Descriptions

Hmmm...
To do:
"Beyond the scope of this article?" Other articles have similar sections filled out to the absolute extremities, why should this be the only exception?

While a more in-depth translation is beyond the scope of this article, some descriptions are very different between languages. The most notable is that of Soul of Sectonia's second phase, as the Japanese text is written from Sectonia's point-of-view as she acknowledges and accepts her death, whereas the English text is written in third-person and removes any suicidal implications.

Japanese English (literal) English (localization)
「いくどとなく きせいし、のりうつりつづけ、どれが 本当のすがた であったのか… もはや 思い出すことも出来ない。わたしをよぶ声もしたが 今はもう聞こえない。この夜が明けるその前に、とわなる…ねむりを…」 "I have leeched off and possessed countless forms, which one was my real one...? I can't remember any longer. A voice calls out to me, but I can no longer hear it. Before this dawn breaks, I will sleep...forever..." "She's fed off countless hosts and now cannot remember her true form. A voice called out to help her, but it has since fallen silent. Before the night ends, she must be given her eternal beauty sleep."

1-Ups

The 1-Up models for Kirby and Dedede change depending on what language the player set the 3DS to. Dedede's French 1UPS differ slightly thanks to a shading quirk in the "V".

Kirby Fighters

Items

Japanese International
Fight with deadly burping! The Mint Leaf, on the other hand, gives Kirby "minty fresh breath".

Once again, the Sweet Potato in the Japanese version is changed to a Mint Leaf in the international versions. Although in Kirby's Dream Land the graphics remained the same between regional versions and only the name was changed, Kirby: Triple Deluxe uses different models for different releases, with the Japanese language version clearly using a sweet potato and the international versions clearly using a leaf. This change carries over to Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Kirby Fighters 2 as well.

Keychains

In addition to other name changes between languages, the Sweet Potato keychain in Japanese is likewise renamed to a Mint Leaf keychain in English.

Dedede's Drum Dash

Canadian French European French
TTDaDiDou-America.png TTDaDiDou-EUR.png

The French title screen for Dedede's Drum Dash in the European release is different from the American version (which is similar in style to the Japanese version). All other European languages have the same title screen as the American version.

Oddities

  • All the DX bosses are internally labeled as "Ex" models, which is a carryover of the EX bosses from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Shadow Dedede is also considered the EX/DX model of Masked Dedede.
  • The file for the Mamatee enemy uses the early name "Briterri", in reference to Blipper.
  • The title screen theme, "Sun, Sky, Dreamstalk", is internally labeled as title_wii.dspadpcm.bcstm whether or not this suggests that Triple Deluxe was originally a Wii game, or the song was composed for the third cancelled iteration of Kirby's Return to Dream Land is unknown.
  • "Revenge of the Enemy", the revenge boss theme, is labeled as BGM_LP_KAZAN1.dspadpcm.bcstm internally, this suggests that it originally was a stage theme for Endless Explosions.
  • Level 6-7 features a remix of "The Adventure Begins" from Return to Dreamland, which is called gck_plants.dspadpcm internally. The original song was called st_plants.brstm. The gck suggests it was a level theme for the scrapped GameCube title that eventually turned into Return to Dream Land. It is also oddly shorter than the track used in that game - perhaps gck_plants.dspadpcm was the original version? This idea is supported by its name on the official Kirby Star Allies soundtrack: "The Adventure Begins / Original Short ver."
  • The filenames for Bomber's textures in this game, along with Kirby Fighters 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 project's internal name is "Parufe", according to the game's sound archive. Parufe (parfait) is a type of dessert. Additionally, the game sports a second name, that being "Kirby3DS", found in ExHeader.bin.
