Here is my workshop, where I'll work on pages/episode summaries without having to finish and publish them in one sitting, since lately I've been really busy. I also may just use this page for experimentation purposes.

I'll also use this sub-page to start working on articles for the new features present in the upcoming game, Kirby: Triple Deluxe using information from Youtube videos I managed to find and translated Japanese information, and when May 2nd comes and it's time to flood the Wiki Activity with new pages, I'll publish them and refine them with information from North America.

Kirby Fighters
Kirby Fighters is a sub-game introduced in Kirby: Triple Deluxe, which features both a single-player and multiplayer mode.

In multiplayer, up to four players are placed in a stage as different colored Kirbys and battle each other using Copy Abilities of each player's choice. Each player can choose to have a handicap, whether to make the game easier or harder. The handicap modes are Very Easy, Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard.

In single-player, the one player fights other A.I Kirbys in the stages. It also has three difficulty modes, Easy, Medium, and Hard. The mode's final opponent is Shadow Kirby.

On-stage hazards appear in some of the stages as well. The game also has a multitude of Items, one of them being the Blue Box which if destroyed, could contain either an A.I controlled enemy that can be thrown at other Kirbys, food that replenishes Kirby's health, a time bomb that explodes in a few seconds after being uncovered, or a Gordo that can be thrown at other Kirbys as a weapon. Other items will also sometimes appear without the use of the Blue Box, such as the Cracker and the aforementioned food and time bomb, and also the Mint Leaf, which when eaten Kirby can inhale and spit out an unlimited amount of air bullets, and an unnamed boot item, likely the Stomper Boot.

List of Stages
In single player, all of these stages except for the first and seventh ones are visited in random order. In multiplayer, the stages that are fought in are chosen from this list by all of the players, and the game randomly picks one player's choice.

Flower Land: The first stage is a simple grassy level based off of the first level from ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe. ''There are no on-stage hazards present and there are only three small flat platforms.

Castle Lololo: The second stage is modeled after the fight against Lololo and Lalala appearing in various games in the franchise. Just like that boss fight, the two characters Lololo and Lalala will move back and forth in separate rows pushing a hazard, such as Blue Boxes and Gordos.

Bubbly Clouds: The next stages is modeled after the Kracko boss fight from Kirby Super Star. It has two small platforms and the background looks exactly like the one seen while fighting the aforementioned Kracko. This stage being modeled after that fight, Kracko himself will occasionally appear at the top of the stage while the Kirbys are dueling and acts as an obstacle to all of the Kirbys. When he appears, he will float around while shooting lightning at the ground damaging anyone who walks into it for a short period of time, and then disappear. He can also rain on the Kirbys which has the same effects.

Coo's Forest: This stage is based off of Kirby's Dream Land 2. In this stage, there are three trees with two platforms each. Two of the trees have two holes and the tree in the middle has one hole. Rick and Coo will occasionally walk out of this holes to attack the Kirbys. Rick will attack using a flamethrower attack, and Coo will attack by flinging his feathers like boomerangs across the screen.

Factory Tour: This stage is based off of the factory levels from the planet Shiver Star appearing in the game Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. The stage resembles a warehouse, and is flat with no platforms, except the main hazard comes from three giant robots with big hammers on their heads in the background. They will occasionally whack the ground which stuns any Kirby hit by it for a short period of time.

Dedede Arena: This stage is based off of the fight against King Dedede in Kirby Super Star. It replicates the them from the aforementioned King Dedede boss fight and represents a fighting arena, with a crowd of various Kirby characters cheering. There are three platforms; two off to the sides and one in the middle. King Dedede will occasionally appear and throw in various items/enemies that are easily eliminated by one hit from any Kirby and hardly pose any threat, including a Waddle Dee, a hammer, and an Apple.

Another Dimension: In this stage, the ground is very flat and orange colored with a purple sky in the background. In single player, while the rest of the stages have A.I Kirbys with randomized Copy Abilities and colors, this stage will always have one purple Kirby which is simply named Shadow Kirby, will always have the same ability as yours and more much more health than usual.

Trivia

 * Kirby Fighters' gameplay bears a striking resemblance to the Super Smash Bros. series of games, which was created by Masahiro Sakurai, the same person who created the Kirby franchise.

Pyribbit
"He quenches his thirst with boiling magma and snacks on molten lava rocks. The most unforgiving environments are comforting for Pyribbit."

- VS Pyribbit DX

Pyribbit is the boss of Ever Explosions, appearing in the game Kirby: Triple Deluxe. He is fought in a volcano setting with magma surrounding a flat and narrow stone battlefield, and various stones in the background surrounded by lava that cannot be accessed by Kirby himself.

Appearance
Pyribbit is an orange frog with a round, fat belly sporting a splash of light orange under his mouth like a bib. His mouth's lips are also orange and very large, and he has a curly orange and blue mustache* above them. Above his mustache is his angry gleaming eyes with blue pupils, curly eyebrows, and his face area around his eyes is almost completely brown. On his head, he sports a brown crown-like jeweled crest on his head with a flame in the center, resembling a fire pit. He has two small webbed flat feet, and a medium sized tail on his back.

Main Game
During the battle, Pyribbit will occasionally hop onto the stones in the background, and even sometimes sink underneath the magma sea surrounding them, and then quickly jump back into the foreground in an attempt to confuse the player. Then, he will hop back onto the foreground, and do small, short range skips with small flames underneath his belly near his feet. When he reaches the middle of the platform, he does two fire spin attacks, one that is mid range and another that is long range.

He then hopes into the magma, completely disappearing from the view of the player for about a second. He will then pop up from the magma and attempt to grab Kirby with his tongue. If Kirby is grabbed, he will go into Pyribbit's mouth. Kirby will be slightly damaged a few times, and then Pyribbit will jump to one of the stones, and then spit Kirby out, dealing significant damage overall.

Next, Pyribbit will then hop back and forth from the stones in the background, shooting medium sized magma balls out of his crest. After repeating this a few times, he will then jump extremely high, and lands, almost flattening himself, and then he will rapidly bounce back and forth from the background to the foreground across the screen.

Pyribbit will repeat all of the above until the player manages to deplete half of his health. After this, the first thing Pyribbit will do is summon a giant volcano in the background, and some rocks above it as well. He then hops onto the aforementioned volcano and summons giant lava pillars and directs them towards the foreground. After this, he uses all of his previous attacks shoots his magma ball more often, can shoot two different giant flame blasts, one where it is in a straight line and another where he rapidly spins while he blasts, temporarily smudging the screen which disrupts the player's view, and hopping into his volcano and summoning volcanic rocks to rain down on the player.

Dededetour
In Dededetour, Kirby: Triple Deluxe's EX mode, Pyribbit's attacks are mostly the same, but some of them are strengthened. Before half of his health is depleted, his only updated attack is that when he shoots a magma ball, he now shoots two of them instead of one.

After half of his health is depleted, he attacks using the lava pillars once again, but this time they will go underneath the magma and then quickly spring up when they reach the foreground and will also occasionally sway back and forth while charging at the player. He also now shoots four magma balls instead of two, and when they reach the ground they will explode, leaving small pools of fire that dissappear after a few seconds, but harm the player if he/she decides to step on them. He also does his spinning fire blast while in the background but shoots it at the player, effectively avoiding damage while still smudging the screen. His bouncing attack is now longer and more disorienting, not only does he hop from the stones in the magma, but the top stones as well. After his volcanic rock attack, two minature lava pillars charge towards the foreground.

Trivia

 * His name is a portmanteau of the prefix pyro (related to fire) and ribbit, an onomatopoeia for the sound frogs make.
 * His round appearance and curly features somewhat resemble that of Fatty Puffer, a boss appearing in Kirby's Return to Dreamland.

I know that mustache sounds a bit silly, but I honestly don't know how else to describe it...Whiskers? A beard? Facial hair...? Oh wait, that sounds even more dumb...So, my point is that mustache sort of a placeholder.
