Kirby: Triple Deluxe is Chuggaaconroy's 42nd Let's Play. It was announced on February 4th, 2020 and began the next day with Kirby: Triple Deluxe – Episode 1: Feeling Fine!. The series currently has 26 episodes and has a total length of 10 hours, 56 minutes, and 19 seconds.

Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe and Kirby Fighters Deluxe, Kirby: Triple Deluxe's 3DS e-shop exclusive spin-offs, are also featured.

Plot

After a relaxing day spent fishing, eating and napping, Kirby heads home for a good night’s rest. While he is sleeping, a large seed falls from the clouds and lands nearby, creating the Dreamstalk that lifts Kirby’s house in the air. In the morning, a shocked Kirby heads to Castle Dedede, which has also been lifted by the vines. Once he reaches the gates, however, Kirby notices a spider-like being named Taranza entering the castle. Effortlessly, Taranza takes out the Waddle Dee guards and kidnaps a surprised King Dedede, carrying him up the Dreamstalk. Kirby gives chase, fighting Taranza’s minions along the way. After following Taranza throughout multiple regions, the adventure reaches its conclusion in Royal Road, the capital city of Floralia, the kingdom in the sky.

When Kirby finally reaches Taranza, he attacks Kirby using a brainwashed King Dedede. After an intense fight, Kirby is able to defeat the king and free him of his brainwashing. Taranza reveals that he has been working for Floralia's self-proclaimed Queen, the vespid-being Queen Sectonia, and that the Floralians planted the Dreamstalk in the hopes of summoning Dream Land's hero to their aid. Mistakenly believing King Dedede to be that hero, Taranza kidnapped him on the orders of Queen Sectonia, who wants to use the Dreamstalk to take over Dream Land. Queen Sectonia scolds Taranza for his failure, blasting at him with her staff that causes him to fly away from the tower before turning her sights on Kirby.

Kirby faces Queen Sectonia and wins. Kirby and Dedede celebrate, but Sectonia merges with the Dreamstalk and turns into a giant flower-like monster. She begins to spread vines all over Popstar, ripping out pieces of land for her kingdom and preventing anyone from getting close enough to attack her. With Dedede's help, Kirby manages to get through Sectonia's vines and confronts her once more.

After a hard battle, Kirby eventually defeats Queen Sectonia, but Sectonia grabs Kirby with her vines and tries to crush him while Kirby cries for help. King Dedede and Taranza (with a change of heart) come to Kirby's rescue, freeing him and giving him a Miracle Fruit to finally defeat the queen. Kirby finishes off Queen Sectonia by inhaling her giant laser blast and spitting it back out at her, destroying her utterly. With Floralia rescued, Kirby is ferried back home by the People of the Sky, and the Dreamstalk is purified, fully blooming and becoming a permanent fixture of Dream Land.

Optional scenes

At the end of Dededetour!, an extra mode featuring King Dedede as the protagonist, King Dedede encounters a clone of himself from another dimension, Shadow Dedede. After the real Dedede beats the shadowy clone, he encounters Dark Meta Knight, who has come back for revenge. Dedede, however, defeats him, sending him back into the mirror he came from. He then uses his hammer to destroy the mirror.

At the end of The True Arena, a boss rush that is unlocked by beating the game, Queen Sectonia uses the Miracle Fruits to revive herself. Kirby then fights Soul of Sectonia, a harder version of Queen Sectonia with brand new attacks. Defeating her first form makes her rip herself out of the Dreamstalk for the final (bonus) boss of the game. She is capable of many new attacks, some of which reference previous Kirby final bosses such as Marx and Drawcia. Upon her final defeat, Queen Sectonia explodes in a flurry of blue petals, as a single large, sparkling blue petal is seen drifting down the screen.

Description

(February 5th, 2020 - April 10th, 2020)

Three scoops of 2.5D Kirby goodness! This includes the two spin-off games it spawned too!

Background

Originally, it was Emile's intent for Let's Play #42 to be the original Game Boy Advance game Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Blue Rescue Team, following the completion of Super Mario Galaxy 2. Pre-production work was completed and notes were taken, when the January 2020 Pokémon Direct dropped and revealed that the original Pokémon Mystery Dungeon was being remade to this game: Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX.

Emile changed plans, added Kirby: Triple Deluxe as a replacement Let's Play #42 (and tossed in Super Mario Land as a one-episode April Fools LP #43), reworked his notes, and premiered this as his 44th Let's Play just two months after the game launched.

Hints

• In the finale of Super Mario Galaxy 2, it was hinted that this series would also be a long-awaited sequel Let's Play.
  • However, he later confirmed on Twitter that this series was postponed and that a different series will take its place as LP #42. He then said that this series will "star someone we've seen before, but in a different way."
• The game connects data to two other games in some way.
