Team Kirby Clash Deluxe

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is an upgraded version of the Kirby: Planet Robobot sub-game Team Kirby Clash. It has improved single- and multi-player modes, as well as new stages and bosses. It is the first and only free-to-start game in the Kirby series.

Story
"This is a story of a faraway realm from long, long ago... A beautiful, peaceful land called the Dream Kingdom. Peace, though, can vanish in a flash... Can you defend the Dream Kingdom from a sudden onslaught of enemies? Set forth and do battle, Team Kirby!"

Gameplay
The gameplay of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is very similar to that of Team Kirby Clash: up to four players fight bosses using modified Copy Abilities and earn experience based on their performance, which can result in level ups and stat increases. Just like before, Medals are rewarded based on the player's performance, ranging from bronze, silver, gold, and platinum.

However, the player can now win Fragments (and, through certain Heroic Missions, Gem Apples, the game's currency) from battles as well. How often Kirby can go into battle is limited by how much Vigor he has; if his current amount of Vigor is too low, the player must either wait for it to restore itself over time, or spend two Gem Apples to restore it completely. Kirby's maximum amount of Vigor can be increased by leveling up. If the player runs out of time during a battle, they can spend Gem Apples to give themselves 30 more seconds, and fully restore and revive Kirby and his teammates. If all 4 Kirbys are defeated, then it is also possible to spend Gem Apples to revive all the members. The more they do this during a battle, however, the more costly it will become.

Story progression is also different from the original, as Kirby must now enter different worlds to fight the bosses lurking there. In order to be able to fight these bosses, Gem Apples are required to unlock them. Once all the missions have been completed, an Ordeal Boss will show up, and defeating it will unlock a new area and new bosses to fight. Additionally, after defeating an Ordeal Boss, a new resident will appear at the city.

Players can buy equipment and support items from Magolor at the Shoppe by spending Fragments and Gem Apples there. They can also buy Gem Apples at the Shoppe using real money. Gem Apples can be earned without paying money through completing Heroic Missions and from Bandana Waddle Dee's tree, which can be harvested every 12 hours. This tree will grow larger if the player purchases Gem Apples from the Shoppe.

The game also makes use of the 3DS' StreetPass feature. If the player passes by people who have played Team Kirby Clash Deluxe, and selects "StreetPass Adventurers" in the bottom screen while Kirby is in the village, the other players' Kirbys will be present in the village with whatever equipment they had at the time, and can join Kirby in battle a maximum of 3 times. Alternatively, the player can select "Wandering Adventurers" and connect to the Internet to achieve the same effect.

The game also gives the player the option to scan amiibo; doing so will reward the player with Fragments. Additionally, there is a password system that allows players to earn extra rewards.

Occasionally, while fighting bosses, a Rare Fragment may appear. The material can be used to upgrade weapons and gear, but can only be collected if the boss is also defeated. The higher the player's heroic level is, the higher chances for a rare fragment to appear.

Trivia

 * Team Kirby Clash Deluxe is the first game in the Kirby series to employ real-time waits and in-game purchases.
 * Team Kirby Clash Deluxe was released two days before the 13th anniversary of Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. This might not be a coincidence, as the final boss contains several references to the game.
 * Like in Team Kirby Clash, when a Kirby is KO'd, he spins around and falls over like Kirby does when he is KO'd in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. A "Kirby angel" then floats away, which is a reference to a KO'd Kirby in Kirby Mass Attack.
 * The game's epilogue contains the following sentence: "But they remain on guard... After all, who knows when another evil might arise?" This line is pulled directly from Kirby & The Amazing Mirror ' s epilogue.
