Talk:Kirby: Triple Deluxe

Paul2There was already a page for this...Kirby: Triple Deluxe

No this is, and stop copying and pasting my property, my words.

Paul2 (talk) 20:03, October 1, 2013 (UTC)Sorry... but Kirby: Triple Deluxe was the original page. I will not copy your work any more.

Hey brah. :D (talk) 20:07, October 1, 2013 (UTC) Thanks, sorry

Paul2 (talk) 20:09, October 1, 2013 (UTC)We can only have one page about the new kirby game though. ...Should Kirby: Triple Deluxe be deleted?

Yes I agree, because this page is more accurate. Kirby, Kirby, Kirby! 21:33, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

I second that. Delete the other one. StuperStar (talk) 21:34, October 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have fixed all of this. You're welcome. NerdyBoutKirby  Clu Clu Kirby 2.png  Wheeee  21:57, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

Oh thanks Kirby, Kirby, Kirby! 23:17, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

Its official im hyped. Speaking of this upcoming title should we make a page for Super Smash Bros 4? Weve seen a decent amount of gameplay Newraptor (talk) 12:04, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

Paul2 (talk) 13:21, October 2, 2013 (UTC)I agree... there should be a SSB4 page.


 * No. We should not create an article for SSBB4 until we have substancial information about it. We don't even know if the current name of the game will stick.
 * I intend to create the article after the game's release. NerdyBoutKirby  [[File:KBB Kirby sprite 3.png]]  Thank you and good night!  20:17, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

Beetle Ability
It's Beetle Ability.Use Google Translate on This Page. August347 (talk) 02:09, October 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Look, we're an English wiki. The ability will probably be called Beetle ability. But until I see a first-party English source, it stays as it is now. The game was literally announced yesterday -- many things have yet to be revealed. This is one of those things. NerdyBoutKirby  [[File:KBB Kirby sprite 3.png]]  Thank you and good night!  03:05, October 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Paul2 (talk) 10:48, October 3, 2013 (UTC) I agree. It has to be announced before any info regarding that ability or its powers can be announced. I do believe, however, that there should be a Beetle Ability Page.


 * People are always really excited about upcoming games, but they often create pages when there's little or nothing to tell. I suggest we wait and make the article when we have substantial information about it. That's the wisest move at the moment.

Get your Pencils ready!
There's a new nintendo direct coming up soon about nintendo 3ds games coming in 2014! There's a good chance Kirby will show up! Paul2 (talk) 12:43, November 13, 2013 (UTC)

 * Eh, no such luck. They didn't announce anything about kirby this time. Paul2 (talk) 12:11, November 14, 2013 (UTC)

There is another one coming on today, so if Kirby appears, get ready to update the page! Paul2 (talk) 11:48, December 18, 2013 (UTC)

OK! There's yet another Nintendo Direct coming on today on Wii U and 3ds games coming out by the end of spring! Check Nintendo's website for more info. --Doos Rock! -Therater2 (talk) 12:26, February 13, 2014 (UTC)

Release Date Questions?
Is the release date in the U.S. March 14, 2014? Paul2 (talk) 13:07, November 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm doubtful of that. They probably wouldn't wait two full months before releasing the game in the US. NerdyBoutKirby  [[File:KBB Kirby sprite 3.png]]  Thank you and good night!  22:12, November 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, if it IS released on march 14th, it'll be released the day after my birthday!I&#39;m epic...is that a problem? (talk) 12:54, January 10, 2014 (UTC)


 * March 14 was an understatement. --Doos Rock! -Therater2 (talk) 13:05, February 18, 2014 (UTC)

'Big Bang' ability?
Is this 'ability' even considered a copy ability? Also, Is the name of it 'Big Bang'? How do we know that this is its name? You need to prove that this is the official name. Paul2 (talk) 12:50, December 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, look at this picture, then if you type "big bang" into Google Translate, it should look like this. The ability name and the translation should be about the same. I know Google Translate can be a bit shaky, but it's the best I've got.


 * Sleep_2.gifRainboom (talk) 01:39, December 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Also, the 'Bell' ability has not been announced officially by Nintendo, only in a magazine scan, so I believe it should be removed until Nintendo updates about it. Paul2 (talk) 12:19, December 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not involved in this page at all, mainly due to the fact that I don't keep an eye out for any new Kirby releases, but i'll offer my input here. It (the image) appears in a magazine for the game, but perhaps the "Bell" ability should be changed to "Unnamed Bell Ability". For one, the ability could be named Chime, Ring, or another thing similar. The image is itself should stay, of course. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  20:28, December 9, 2013 (UTC)

"Triple Deluxe"
Am I the only one who has noticed that "triple deluxe" can mean 3d's (DeDeDe) it is most likely a coincidence because the beta sceenshots are 3d, but could KIng Dedede Be a big part of the story? IBuyWaddleDeesHot (talk) 02:25, December 6, 2013 (UTC)

Interesting speculation, but in most Kirby games, Dedede is involved somehow, and mostly is a boss. Now that I think of it, Dedede is guaranteed to appear in this game! Just look at the gallery section and you will see him. Paul2 (talk) 12:32, December 6, 2013 (UTC)

:
Well, shoot. This source (http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/gY_OjFHp4ROkSS0aRl1K18C0XRofI-B4) confirms my fears: The game will not be titled Kirby Triple Deluxe, but will instead be Kirby: Triple Deluxe. We better start adding colons to all those pages.

I sorta figured Nintendo would do this, which is why I didn't create any categories before.

On a separate note, we should consider changing all instances of Kirby & the Amazing Mirror to Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. I started doing it before, but there wasn't much support and a majority of the pages were changed back to the incorrect title. Man, that'd take forever... NerdyBoutKirby   Thank you and good night!  22:36, December 18, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, if we all try to change the names, it should be done pretty quickly! When did you want to start?


 * Sleep_2.gifRainboom (talk) 00:15, December 19, 2013 (UTC)

The Sniper abillity looks like the Cupid ability. Could the two be the same?

Tobio2933 (talk) 04:48, December 19, 2013 (UTC)Awsome

I doubt that it will be named 'Sniper' in America, purely for the fact that a 'sniper' is generally known as someone who shoots a gun. Since the ability is shooting arrows, I believe it will be named 'Arrow' or 'Archer' in America. No, with the Cupid ability, you have wings and you can fly, so I don't think the two are the same. Paul2 (talk) 14:52, December 21, 2013 (UTC)

Hypernova
Hey, what exactly is the "Big Bang" ability called? We have 3 names for it: Supernova, Hypernova, and Big Bang. Which one is correct? We need consistency on the page.

 * It's officially called Hypernova in the English version, and for some strange reason it's called Big Bang in Japan. We'll make a note of its Japanese name on the page when it's created, but we'll primarily go by its English name. NerdyBoutKirby  [[File:KBB Kirby sprite 3.png]]  Thank you and good night!  17:22, December 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Wait, but what about the name 'Supernova'? Where'd that one come from?  Skelly11 A_Particularly_Bad_Frog.png  Ask me stuff!  21:22, January 3, 2014 (UTC)

Whispy 3D
Why Does  Whispy look different then his other appearances on Kirby Triple Deluxe? This is really strange. Chopinchamp (talk) 03:19, December 30, 2013 (UTC) December 29 10:18 2013

Seriously, just look at him! Weird......


 * Because the game designers decided to make him that way; simple enough. It might not even be Whispy Woods at all as far as we know at this point. -- G i o k u talkuser 04:43, December 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Just compare Whispy with his appearance in Kirby 64 and KEY. Sometimes they change bosses to mirror the feeling in the game, and as he looks all rainbow-y and such, that may be the "theme" of this game.

Meta Kirby52   It's all mine!  05:40, December 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * After getting a better look at the name from the latest trailer, it is revealed to be indeed a different character: Whispy Flowers (ウイスビーフラワーズ) Shouty (talk) 15:47, December 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Good find. I guess it would be kind of far-fetched to have Whispy Woods up there in that Beanstalk Park-esque area. It would make sense for Kracko to be there, but not Whispy. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  16:29, December 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's not Whispy Woods. That's Whispy Flowers. He is replacing Whispy on this game.Chopinchamp (talk) 20:51, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * However, Whispy Flowers will probably be similar to Whispy Woods, with a few minor changes. Paul2 (talk) 13:37, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

No Release?
Has anyone found any information about Kirby TripleD being released outside of Japan? I feel like news should have come sooner...after all, it releases in about 9 days, in Japan at least. I'm hoping its not an exclusive. Maybe this next Nintendo Direct thing they have coming up will mention something about it? I guess we'll have to wait and see. Meta Kirby52   It's all mine!  20:54, January 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've had the same worries lets just hope something about the release date will come out soon IBuyWaddleDeesHot (talk) 20:30, January 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Have no fear, NoA has posted a "2014" release date. http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/gY_OjFHp4ROkSS0aRl1K18C0XRofI-B4

 * The fact that it has been shown in North American Nintendo Directs leads me to believe there is nothing to be worried about. Also the fact that there is a NA version of the logo. -- G i o k u talkuser 20:41, January 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, good then. As I said above, though, it would be rather nice to have an actual release date. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  23:34, January 3, 2014 (UTC)


 * Seeing as the release date of the Japanese version is only four days away, I don't expect Nintendo to wait for that long. Recently, in fact, Nintendo has been trying to release internationally at the same time. Not with every game, but with some. Paul2 (talk) 13:40, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Lame articles
Guys... Please, please stop making articles for this game. You're all very excited, I get that, but the game isn't even out yet. There's no way anyone can create a proper article without adequate information. That's common knowledge.

Please wait until the game is released before making pages about it. NerdyBoutKirby   Thank you and good night!  21:34, January 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, I thought we had enough information for full pages, but ok...What should be done with the pages about the new copy abilities in the meantime though? Should we delete them? Skelly11 (talk) 21:39, January 2, 2014 (UTC)


 * They have been deleted, yes. All we have to do is wait. NerdyBoutKirby  [[File:KBB Kirby sprite 3.png]]  Thank you and good night!  21:43, January 2, 2014 (UTC)
 * When the game comes out in Japan should there be allowed articles for new abilities? The only issue with this is that the attack names would be in Japanese, otherwise the information for them would be pretty straight forward. Shouty (talk) 00:01, January 4, 2014 (UTC)


 * As long as the pages are more or less complete, that should work. As far as enemies and bosses go, I think we should hold off on them until the English version is out. I doubt HAL's gonna give us the names directly (sigh), so I'll need to look into that when it comes.

High Five, Low Five, All that
I have to say, after all this information I've seen on the game, this looks to be HAL's most ambitious Kirby game since Kirby Super Star. Kirbys fighting against each other, the appearance of old bosses in awesome 3D graphics, an item that takes you to the background (a similar thing used in DKCR). They've packed in so many more references (seriously though, there's way more than KRtDL) and homages to old games. There's even a gallery with sprites from past games! There's going to a lot of work put into this page when the game actually releases... Meta Kirby52   It's all mine!  16:44, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * My body is ready. -- G i o k u talkuser 16:55, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ditto. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  17:26, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I fear this may be the last game intended for the series. Miyamoto mentioned that if Fire Emblem: Awakening didn't do incredibly well, that he'd end the entire Fire Emblem series. Will this be the case for Metroid? Donkey Kong? Kirby? I'm hoping KTD isn't the pink puff's last title. NerdyBoutKirby  [[Image:Korrible.png|link=wikipedia:Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|And she may cry, but her tears will dry when I hand her the keys to a shiny new Halcandra.]] Has a PhD in adorableness.  20:50, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't worry about it. Miyamoto never said such a thing about the Kirby series, and I don't think he'd be the type of person to pull a last second 'Gotcha'! on us. Metroid, well, it'd be understandable if they killed that off. With the last Metroid killed (In Super Metroid) and with Other M being abysmal, yeah, I couldn't see it lasting for too long. Donkey Kong, well that's like Nintendo's No. 2 you know? He helped Mario rise to fame...I highly doubt they'd end his franchise. Fear not, NBK. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  22:26, January 5, 2014 (UTC)
 * I also do not share such fears. Kirby is always, as I like to say, "late to the party", too; 3DS was released in 2011 and Kirby's just now getting a game in 2014 - he hasn't been on Wii U yet, either. Kirby's games are generally few and far between (KRtDL and KMA being released in the same year (and Dream Collection the next) was a bit atypical of Kirby releases). And, especially since this game looks like a lot of effort has been put into it, Kirby seems to be showing no signs of stopping. -- G i o k u talkuser 23:28, January 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * I guess it all comes down to sales. I'm naturally a pessimist, so I have concerns about this kinda stuff. The nostalgic nods are painted on so heavily, it almost feels like a 'last hurrah!' game for Kirby fans. Heck, I'd guess Nintendo announces bankruptcy by the end of 2016, but I've got nothing to back that up. Nintendo, you had better play it safe for the next five years, y'hear?! Don't blow your finances on failed experiments.

 * Yeah, It does seem Daranza is here at the very end to wrap things up. I doubt it though, but it seems that way. Also nintendo has been frosting us lately with awesome games like Return, Mass Attack, Dream Collection and Epic Yarn. To be honest I think to keep the series alive for a bit longer nintendo needs to make another gimmicky kirby game like Mass Attack or Canvas Curse. User:10 Brave Kirbys [[File:180px-Kirbyslick.jpg]] I think it should be called the yummy-looking peppermint star, not the Slick Star 13:15, January 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * You're saying you don't want more awesome Kirby games? Honestly, HAL and Nintendo are making a lot of money off of these critically acclaimed games. Frankly, I know there will always be speculation about 'Game Series Endings', like Pokémon, Zelda, and Kirby. I don't believe that Nintendo will want to end them, for better or for worse.
 * It's for the same reason that Disney is bringing back Star Wars.


 * And yes, Kirby: Triple Deluxe seems like another 5 star entry to the Kirby series! Paul2 (talk) 13:50, January 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * Nintendo only has so much money. Everything ends eventually, and the big N's future looks a bit grim at the moment. =( NerdyBoutKirby  [[Image:Korrible.png|link=wikipedia:Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog|And she may cry, but her tears will dry when I hand her the keys to a shiny new Halcandra.]] Has a PhD in adorableness.  23:18, January 7, 2014 (UTC)


 * That's why Nintendo needs to make Top-notch entries in all of their franchises, on all of their consoles! I think KTD is part of that effort, because as Meta Kirby said earlier, "this looks to be HAL's most ambitious Kirby game since 'Kirby Super Star'." Paul2 (talk) 13:15, January 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * "I'm naturally a pessimist". Well there's your problem, NBK! ...I'm naturally optimistic, and I don't see it that way at all! ...I don't see Nintendo going bankrupt in two years, either; the 3DS has been selling really well recently, showing no signs of stopping; and Nintendo is basically sitting on billions of dollars extra that they have saved up - Kirby and Nintendo both are going nowhere soon. ;) -- G i o k u talkuser 14:41, January 6, 2014 (UTC)
 * You shouldn't spend too much time worrying about it, NBK. It makes the wait for the game more fretful than cheerful, and I don't want you to go through that.
 * KirbyRainboom Sleep_2.gif the day away! 21:31, January 6, 2014 (UTC)

If Nintendo's fate is truly sealed as you say NBK, then someday I'm going to look back upon my 3DS and games and wonder how lucky I was to get such things before the company went bankrupt...but that's only a worst-case scenario. I'd rather be able to enjoy future products of Nintendo for years to come! Meta Kirby52   It's all mine!  23:50, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Levels
So accoriding to the footage, as far as the levels go (or worlds as a typical gamer whould call them) we could assume there are 6 and here they are in the order I tihnk they should be in based on how hard they look. I will also be adding any bosses off to the side that I think go with that level. I honestly don't know where Toggle Lo Garaga whould fit into
 * A grassy plains, forest level - Flowery Woods
 * A canyon with carrot like rocks, so it most likely will be named Carrot Canyon - ???
 * A weird, abstract toy/puzzle level - ???
 * A snowy level - Kracko (as this background matches this one)
 * A circus-like level - Paintica
 * And a volcanic level - ???

-Plazzap


 * The names of the levels may spell something out again. If that's the case all the above level names may be wrong. For example, the Tower of KRtDL was named Nutty Noon...I highly doubt anyone could've guessed that. Same with the naming conventions of Egg Engines and Dangerous Dinner. I'm not saying for a fact those above names are wrong, but there is a high chance that they are. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  11:59, January 8, 2014 (UTC)

Unlockable sprites?
Could the unlockable sprites work like how some sprites were in Super Mario 3d Land?


 * From what I've seen, sprites are unlocked through a "challenge system" of sorts. Bandana Dee usually pops up on the screen (along with a Mii) and waves, which indicates you've completed a challenge, presumably. The text, being in Japanese, means I can't decipher it. Whether or not it mimics the Checklist from Kirby Air Ride is yet to be seen... Also, please sign your post next time. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  01:51, January 9, 2014 (UTC)

Mysterious enemy
I found this in a trailer. What could this orange & black enemy be? It looks kind of like a Wheelie Bike, but it can't be. Perhaps it's a new foe. Only time will tell. NerdyBoutKirby  Has a PhD in adorableness.  01:11, January 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * It could be an orange Dice, a new type of Wheelie enemy (almost similar to Wheelie Rex), or even one of those enemies that come out of a hiding hole (I think they're called "Barbas"?). It is most likely a new type of enemy, however. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  01:49, January 9, 2014 (UTC)


 * Or perhaps it's just a larger version of a wheelie alike those big versions of enemies in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. And maybe it's color is orange because he just got hit by whip kirby and is displayed as his "hurt palette" Plazzap


 * I don't know how Plazzap guessed it, but this is a larger Wheelie Bike. In this video, around the three minute mark, you can see Kirby fighting it, with the Whip ability, too. Kirpow (talk) 02:46, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

Daranza
So, anyways I'd like to give out my thoughts on the main villain, Daranza. The first thing that popped into my mind when I saw that name was '''DARoach. '''As daroach was the secondary antagonist next to Dark Nebula. This is a wild guess based on the first syllable but could Daranza be the secondary antagonist too? Probably not as Daroach just wanted treasure and he doesn't really cause destruction over anything else. Daranza flat out kidnaps King Dedede, but why exactly? The only thing I can thing of is perhaps Darnaza is a female and needs a king to rule the world. But this also seems like a wild guess becuse... Quite possibly, King Dedede is "bait" to lure Kirby in, as he is the most important of the two. After all, Daranza represents a spider, and where there's a spider, there's a trap. I could imagine Kirby possessing some amazing power as he can copy any ability including super abilities and the new Hypernova ability. Or maybe Daranza just needs to flat out kill Kirby more strategically because everything that has tried to do that directly, has failed.
 * 1) Daranza doesn't really have anything to signify it's female, as Grill has veiwable eyelashes (but does grill even count as a villain) and drawica's colors and design just scream out female.
 * 2) King Dedede isn't much of a powerful ruler.I mean he doesn't seem to do dream land any good or bad and won't bring Daranza much good either. well there was that one time where he kinda was the main villain and a few other times in the good old days but now King Dedede has learned his lesson thanks to Kirby.

Now onto Daranza's powers and abilities, he apparently can manipulate this huge beanstalk called the world tree and can use some kind of energy that is shown when he kidnaps Dedede. Not much else, but based on his kinda weak appearance, I would imagine he battles Kirby in a more powerful, menacing form.

And that's I'll I've got to cover on Daranza, If you have any theories I would appreciate If you would say below.

-the one and only, Plazzap


 * Daranza probably isn't the main villain, no. And if it is, then it has to have a more powerful form. HAL is shown to make most of their villains (starting from KDL onward) massive in size...Nightmare, Dark Matter, Marx/Marx Soul and onward. Of course, a change of formula is good every once and awhile. King Dedede isn't a very powerful ruler, true, but he is supposedly the ONLY ruler of Dream Land. I'm really anticipating the release, as it can answer many questions we all have about it. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  20:45, January 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Daranza pretty much became a good guy at the end when the final boss blast him to Dreamland then appeared again with Dedede and the two help Kirby defeat the Queen Bee(unknown name) and the Dreamland and Floarald was saved.Golden Manda (talk) 20:13, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

So...what's up with its name? I see both Daranza and Taranza in sources; the wiki seems to be going with Daranza, but it's タランザ - which should be Taranza (assuming it's not changed in localization). LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:47, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Unless I'm mistaken, the Japanese alphabet has no D sound, so they use T characters like the first one in Daranza's name. It's like with Dark Meta Knight's name in Triple Deluxe, the first character is TA, and the second is KE, but his name obviously isn't "tak Meta Knight". I guess you have to improvise a bit. I could be wrong though. Kirpow (talk) 00:20, January 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Actually, Japanese uses certain diacritical marks above "ta" (タ) to form "da" (ダ). A line in katakana (ー) usually means that vowel before it is extended, so, for example, カービィ (Kābī) becomes Kirby since it's a foreign name and that usually renders it an "r". And another example is that the next character in Dark Meta Knight's name is "ku" (ク), not "ke" (ケ), and often the "u" sound can be cut off, so, say, ダーク becomes "Dark" (a lot of Japanese names in this series are actually already English words directly transcribed into katakana). So yeah...long lesson short, in at least the video I saw, I'm seeing Taranza instead of Daranza. =) LinkTheLefty (talk) 00:54, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

I don't know too much about the guy, but I will get a page started for Daranza (like I did with the new copy abilities) and let everyone who's got information fill it in. Anyone up for that? -- G i o k u talkuser 01:08, January 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just like I did with the four new abilities, I'll put everything I can into Triple Deluxe content. I don't know much about any alphabet other than English; I noticed those little accent-like things next to characters, but I didn't know what they meant. Essentially, anything we put down related to the game is a placeholder until the English version comes out, but that isn't to say what we think we know isn't close to what it actually is. Kirpow (talk) 01:28, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Dark Kirby?
Who is this "Dark Kirby"? Does he even exist in the game? I haven't seen anything on the Japanese site, or anywhere in fact, that proves the existence of this new Kirby. Could someone lead me to a source, or is this just a joke? Meta Kirby52   It's all mine!  00:23, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * I haven't seen a source, either. I'll be deleting it until we have verification.

 * I believe the Dark Kirby is somewhere in this video, near the end of the Kirby Fighters gameplay. Please do correct me if I'm wrong. DoodleDragon (talk) 01:03, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * A dark Kirby, which reminds me of Cosmic Mario, has been seen in videos showing off Kirby Fighters gameplay. On the final and I believe seventh level, it looks like you fight a computer controlled Kirby that uses the same Copy Ability you chose at the beginning. Kirpow (talk) 01:33, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

It most likely has its own name, then. Please, lets keep the amount of speculation down. We should leave it at "Shadow Kirby" and not add speculative names like "Dark Kirby". We have no idea if it is indeed Shadow Kirby or a Dark Kirby...but the former is more likely. Meta Kirby52   It's all mine!  01:45, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

But Shadow Kirby is already this guy, so we can't call him that. Dark Kirby is a good placeholder, or even Cosmic Kirby, but that very likely won't be his actual name. We just need something to call it until the game comes out, you know? Kirpow (talk) 02:05, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

Perhaps we could just leave it unmentioned for the time being? Or possibly briefly describe it, though avoid giving it an actual name. Something along those lines maybe? DoodleDragon (talk) 02:11, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, yeah, good idea. No point on making a page for it or anything, but whenever it's mentioned, "Dark Kirby" is a good name until further notice. Or "A Kirby with galaxy-like skin". Kirpow (talk) 02:18, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yes, I retract my statement from before. Dark Kirby is a good name, for now. But, lets not be speculative and come up with any theories on how he fits into the storyline/Kirby Fighters. Lets just wait for the U.S. release and hopefully that will answer all our questions. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  02:20, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Scratch that. Just went into google translate, typed in "Shadow Kirby", and it looks like this. Compare the text to the photo. Pretty similar, right? So I guess that either makes two Shadow Kirby's in the canon, or something else is happening here... Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  02:47, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

シャドーカービィ


 * Screenshot_(87).pngng the amount of references to older games in this, it sure wouldn't surprise me if they were bringing this guy back in Kirby Fighters too. Though, from what I remember, the supposed second Shadow Kirby in this game is dark blue, rather than black? Then again, a redesign is still possible... DoodleDragon (talk) 02:57, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * My guess is the name will be changed in the English version. But they could keep it "shadow" which seems weird, because his skin looks like space, not shadow. Like with Shadow Mario, he looks like water. Kirpow (talk) 16:32, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, given the Amazing Mirror references already, and that at least two other enemies (Grand Wheelie and Blocky) were redesigned from their last appearance, they probably didn't forget about the original Shadow Kirby and there's no mistake here... I think it might even be one of the retro "Lucky Holder" items. LinkTheLefty (talk) 23:47, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

What the heck are we gonna do?
I'm guessing here, but I doubt HAL is gonna tell us the names of most of the enemies. The last time we endured this issue on a cartridge game (KMA), we got all our information from Daroach quotes and The Spriters Resource -- the guys there dug through the ROM and uploaded the appropriate file names for each character. The Spriters Resource doesn't deal with 3DS games, and it's considerably harder to dig through a cartridge's memory than a disk's. I don't know a single person who can or will buy a $40 game months from now just to hack it. How on Earth are we gonna get these names?

Japanese names don't count until we've exhausted all other possible options, by the way. NerdyBoutKirby  Has a PhD in adorableness.  07:57, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * We'll most likely just have to give them names that would seem to fit them. It sounds stupid, I know, but what other option do we have if they don't have an "enemy credits"? Other than sitting on google translate, or doing something far more sillier by going to the Japanese Kirby Wikia and taking their names...which I for one do NOT feel like doing. We'll just have to wait and see. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  13:01, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Actually that's not the smartest move. I've seen that many people rely on us for some things and we can't just pick random names that suit each enemy, that would be extremely confusing and we would probably have to end up undoing our own work because of it. But It's true we did do that with the mixed abilities and man, It took forever to get the official names so it also may be a good idea. So I'm pretty mixed about the whole thing -Plazzap


 * I'm babysitting the wiki today, so my judgement is just don't make pages on them yet. Not only is the information we have going to be a bit sketchy at best, but we also won't know the names or have any images of very high quality - everyone just needs to hold their horses for a bit while we get everything sorted out. -- G i o k u talkuser 15:37, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * You needn't worry about me creating pages. I've been here long enough to figure out what does and doesn't work in terms of creating new content. The other, new editors, however...well, we may have a problem. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  16:31, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Why don't you do the same thing you've been doing and put "unnamed" whatever for every new enemy? And after "unnamed" give a breif description like what ability it gives or what it looks like. Kirpow (talk) 16:35, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I trust you Meta Kirby, but I'm worried about the various other users around here. There needs to be a big message somewhere saying something along the lines of DON'T MAKE NEW ARTICLES ABOUT THINGS FROM KIRBY: TRIPLE DELUXE... but we'll see. Hopefully I don't have to hit the undo button too much today...
 * And making articles with the word "unnamed" in them is a very bad idea... -- G i o k u talkuser 16:37, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, no, I meant put "unnamed" whatever under the confirmed enemies section on Triple Deluxe's actual page. Kirpow (talk) 00:37, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Fountain of Dreams
In this video, you can see in the background of the fifth stage (this is Old Odyssey, world/level 3) that there are what look like Fountains of Dreams. They obviously aren't THE Fountain of Dreams because there are more than one, but it's something to note. Kirpow (talk) 19:00, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

Kracko
In this video, you can see the player fight and defeat Kracko near the end. When he is defeated, he blows up and peices like cogs and gears fly everywhere, impying he's a machine. Is Kracko a machine an I'm just misinformed, or could he be a creation of Daranza like Squeak Squad's Kracko? Kirpow (talk) 19:08, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hm, its odd how he does that. Kracko (the real one) is not a machine, no. As you could clearly see in that video, Kracko had a red eye and different colors from the actual one. So, this means that this Kracko version of Kracko was created by Doc or someone else. So don't add this to the actual Kracko page. We have yet to see if it is actually him. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  20:20, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I wasn't going to. That just caught my attention so I wanted a second opinion. If it isn't clarified in the English release, we can always just say it's trivia, but it probably will be. Kirpow (talk) 20:41, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Doesn't Epic Yarn suggest there might be more than one Kracko? Either way, it looks like Daranza/Taranza uses a spell to create most bosses out of inanimate objects, so that would make it a different Kracko like the painting version. LinkTheLefty (talk) 04:20, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Some Cool Stuff
Take a look here! We all know you can play as Dedede, how you unlock him is a mystery (probably by beating the game once) but there's some other details. First thing you'll notice is it briefly shows a silhouette of Meta Knight before the player skips through it. Maybe this means you can play as him after beating the game as Dedede? Will there a be a plot-related reason for this, or will he just pop up? Also, how will the plot of the game work if you're playing as Dedede? That's not a big issue because Kirby games aren't about story anyway, but it's just something I thought up. Also, the stars have turned into Dedede's symbol, what looks like a bunny head but is really a piece sign. That's neat. Dedede's moveset looks a lot different than it was in Return to Dreamland, as he can send out a shockwave by hitting the ground with his hammer, or shoot a beam by charging it up... I'm rambling. You should just watch the video yourself. Kirpow (talk) 21:10, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * You can either play as Meta Knight, or he replaces the "final boss" of the game. That's what I'm guessing. Who knows, maybe it's King Dedede's quest for vengeance after Meta Knight randomly kicked his butt in Meta Knightmare Ultra. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  21:16, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * That's a good idea. In Super Star Ultra, they did a similar thing where they showed a silhouette of Galactica Knight and he was the final boss. Dedede and Meta Knight have a complicated relationship, so that could be the case. I'm glad he's showing up in the game as a character, or at least it looks like he is.
 * Also watching a little more of the video, I noticed some enemies are bigger, like in Return to Dreamland's Extra Mode, and bosses have been palette swapped and "DX" has been added to their names. So it looks like this is basically an Triple Deluxe's Extra Mode as well. Kirpow (talk) 21:24, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * You keep finding good things that keep me excited about this game. I sure hope Nintendo releases this game soon internationally. I was hoping two weeks from now, or even a week. An international Kirby release has never been more than a month off from the Japanese date. Yeah I noticed that in the video. The mid-bosses have different skins, as well as the enemies being larger. No wonder this game takes up 1gb of storage...its a lot of data!


 * I'll just the time here to reiterate how awesome this game is going to be! Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  21:32, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * This game is a lot of data! I don't know where I read or heard it, I think it was this talk page, but someone said this looks to be the most ambitious Kirby game since Super Star, which I agree with. This game has so much to offer, and there's replay value, and collectables, and multiplayer sub games... This is why we love Kirby. Here's to hoping we non-Japanese get the game soon. Kirpow (talk) 21:40, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Haha, that was me who said that! Its on this page, haha. Yeah but now I'm even more so convinced that they pulled out all the stops on this one. I always thought KSSU was going to be the pinnacle of Kirby games...but then Kirby: Triple Deluxe came along and completely crushed KSSU. Yeah, really looking forward to the international release. I'll be keeping my eye's out for any new Nintendo Direct's and see if they mention anything about it. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  21:46, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * I thought it was you! Yeah, they totally went all out with this game and it looks like it's working out well. This'll be the game future generations think of when Kirby in general comes to mind. I hope they have a Direct soon, too, not only for Kirby either, what with Donkey Kong coming out soon, and the Year of Luigi being extended, and things like Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Kirpow (talk) 23:41, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

Yeah I'm kinda new to this whole Nintendo Direct thing...just got my 3DS during Christmas last month, but it seems to me they come out with one on the 18th? I don't know much about it. Yeah its just crazy how much info we already have on it you know? This is the most buzz I've seen for a video game, at least in terms of "Oh hey, this only came out in Japan...so lets buy the game then post gameplay videos on day one!" I've never really seen something quite like this happen before. Or, maybe I have, and this is the only time I've really noticed it. Meta Kirby52   It's all mine!  00:16, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * I got my 3DS in February 2012, almost two years ago now. It is the first system I ever got within launch year! ...I haven't missed a Nintendo Direct since they've started, either. They're always the highlight of my month! And, generally, they're about half-way through the month. The first ND of the year should be interesting; hopefully we get an NA release date for this (they just announced Yoshi ' s New Island for March and Disney Magical World for April)... hopefully KTD will be February! -- G i o k u talkuser 00:23, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * You just got it less than a month ago, what games do you have? Yeah, they had one December 18th, that one I remember was pretty good, but not many release dates, if I remember, so people are aniticipating this month's Direct for release dates on things like Smash, Mario Kart, and of course, Kirby. Today's the 11th, so, yeah, there should be one soon. If not, then in early Febuary I'd guess. It seems people do that a lot with games, mass upload the day of release, I think it's funny how in less than 24 hours, people already have the final boss up. SO many let's plays of Mario 3D World were uploaded the same day that came out, too. I think people just clear their schedule on game release days, ha! Oh, I regret saying it, but I don't think Kirby will be Febuary's release, since Donke Kong is coming out then. Kirpow (talk) 00:34, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Slightly off topic, but I have 16 retail games and 24 download-only games. I won't list them all here because I don't want to clog up this talk page. -- G i o k u talkuser 00:40, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah I'm definitely leaning more towards late this month, maybe the 27th or something. February is a bit iffy...I mean, how long does it take to translate the game? (minus the mass production of the cartridge, of course) Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  00:39, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Impressive, Gioku! I only have... well, had, four games myself. Er, I still have them, but no working system to play them on. Yeah I hope it doesn't take them too long to release it internationally, becasue I want to see English gameplay. The game doesn't have many words, and it;s not like they just started working on the English version now, so they're bound to be close to finished. I dunno what they're thinking, but it'll be worth it the wait. Kirpow (talk) 00:45, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Boss Names
So, I was looking at the boss names that haven't been translated and I decided I try to translate myself. I pulled up the Japanese alphabet and did just that, but I'm still a bit confused.

The boss of level five, Ever Explosion's name is characters that spell out the sounds U-O-RU-KE-RO-MU. What's worth noting is there are little accent-kinda things next to the first and fourth characters, probably meaning they're pronounced differently than they usually are. But I think it's name is something like "Worugeromu", because to make up for the lack of a W in the Japanese alphabet, U and O sounds together make the W sound. KE can also make a GE sound. And if I remember correctly, "gero" or "kero" means frog, and the boss looks like a frog.

For Dedede's name, in his second form, the characters spell out "masked Dedede" then RI-HE-N-SHI. The second and fourth characters have accent-like things.

On the other hand, the Wheelie-like mid boss's name is "grand wheelie", but he's clearly different from Adventure's Grand Wheelie. Kirpow (talk) 17:55, January 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I think Dedede's second form may be Masked Dedede's Revenge, but I'm just guessing.  Did you try translating the Dark Dedede and translate to see if Dark Meta Knight's name is still Dark Meta Knight? Google Translating Miiverse said it was Dark Meta Knight's Revenge, but I'm not sure I can trust Google Translate...  Mr Dededoo (talk) 21:47, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Oh, "revenge"! That's brilliant! That's probably what the RI-HE-N-SHI is, though having "revenge" in a boss's name is a little weird. It'll probably be changed in the international releases. Thanks! Yeah, the Dark Dedede translates to "Black Dedede" which is essentially Dark Dedede. And yeah, Dark Meta Knight's name still translates to "Dark Meta Knight" in the fight between him and Dedede, but there's also the characters that say RI-HE-N-SHI at the end of his name, so it probably is something like "Dark Meta Knight's Revenge", just like with Masked Dedede. Makes sense since both Masked Dedede and Dark Meta Knight have been defeated once but came back. Kirpow (talk) 21:59, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Well, glad I could help! I was a bit curious as to what Dedede's second form would be called, but I figured Dark Dedede would be the case for the alternate fight.It's odd how Dark Meta Knight returned in that alternate mode, though because Kirby & the Amazing Mirror was the ONLY Kirby game without Dedede and now he has to fight Dark Meta Knight as well. The Dimension Mirror returning does make sense because the Mirror World was located "high above Dreamland" where Triple Deluxe eventually goes. Mr Dededoo (talk) 22:25, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, something along the lines of Dark Dedede makes sense because that alternate Dedede is indeed dark. Dark Meta Knight returning is strange, I wonder if it's explained... That was the first thing I thought when it said "Kirby's house was lifted high into the sky", the Mirror World. I wonder if anything other references to Amazing Mirror will be made. Kirpow (talk) 22:59, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * I just found and posted a picture (here) that has Dark/Black Dedede using his stomach as a mouth just like when he was possessed by Dark Matter in Kirby 64 and Dreamland 3. He must change tactics when his health is at 50% like most Kirby bosses. Mr Dededoo (talk) 23:09, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Wow, how'd you find that! That's awesome! I can;t find anything past level five with Dedede other than one video showing the fight with Dark Meta Knight. Kirpow (talk) 23:35, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's all on Miiverse. I'm a little surprised nobody has looked there... Could you link that video please? Mr Dededoo (talk) 23:51, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Don't you need an account to fully access Miiverse? I don't have one. This is the video of Dedede's fight with Dark Meta Knight, and this is a channel with videos of all of Triple Deluxe's levels being played through as Kirby, including the final bosses, and the first five worlds of playing through with Dedede. Kirpow (talk) 00:15, January 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Just as an aside, マスクド・デデデ リベンジ (second phase) and ダークメタナイト リベンジ indeed mean Masked Dedede Revenge and Dark Meta Knight Revenge [ribenji], respectively. So it'll probably be Masked Dedede's Revenge and Dark Meta Knight's Revenge in English. LinkTheLefty (talk) 00:34, January 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, we figured that out. But usually that health bar at the bottom has the boss's name above it, so wouldn't it be weird if the word "revenge" was in their name? And what do those accents beside the second and fourth characters of "revenge" mean? Because when I tried to translate, I got HE and SHI, not BE and JI, but I'm guessing I read it wrong. Kirpow (talk) 01:00, January 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * I have an account on my 3DS/Wii U that I use on my computer to get the pictures from.  Also, I guess I was correct about saying it was revenge, eh? Thanks for the confirmation Link! Mr Dededoo (talk) 00:38, January 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I don't have a 3DS or a Wii U so I don't have a Nintendo Network account or whatever it is. Yeah, nice job figuring that revenge thing out! And you're welcome for the links. Kirpow (talk) 00:50, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

Translations?
As we all know, the game was only released a few days ago. Did anyone on the English Kirby Wiki get a copy of the game, or did someone translate content from the game into English and put it on the internet to get this information. I'd just like to know, so I might be able to help out some more on this page. Paul2 (talk) 13:40, January 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * We've basically translated everything there is to translate except for what Sectonia and Daranza say near the end of the game. We also aren't sure of the name of Ever Explosion's boss, but it seems to be something along the lines of "Worugeromu". Kirpow (talk) 15:12, January 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * It's a better idea to just wait until Nintendo releases the game in North America. Enough things change in the localization process that direct translation isn't very informative. For proof, see the snake boss Toggle-Lo Garaga. There's no way in heck that he's keeping that name in the US.

 * I guess I don't disagree, but what's wrong with that name? And I'm saying we've ROUGHLY translated everything. We've figured out all we can and the English names will probably be something near what we figured out, you know? Kirpow (talk) 01:14, January 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * Kirby names can be silly and strange, but "Toggle-Lo Garaga"? That doesn't even make sense. I have no doubt that certain names will carry over to the US version, but until we've seen the English version, we can't just make assumptions. What would happen if every name in the US one was changed? The answer: Every instance of "Toggle-Lo Garaga" and "Worugeromu" would have to be changed; that's a lot of editing. It'd be even more work for me because I would not only contribute, I'd also make sure everybody else is on the right track and correct any mistakes they make.


 * We'd save ourselves a ton of work if we just did nothing. The game will come out in North America, we'll get our English names, and we won't have to correct the Japanese ones on 100+ articles. Lastly, the boss and enemy articles should not be created until we have those proper names. It's foolish to create tons of articles for a game we haven't even played yet.

 * I see there are already new articles for some new abilities and major characters, but I agree that going that much more in-depth would likely be a ton of work in the end ("Toge Ro Gararga" and "Volgeromu" are already tricky names and are a clear sign that things will change in localization, and if "Big Bang" is truly being changed into Hypernova then I have a feeling "Sniper" won't make the cut either). LinkTheLefty (talk) 02:03, January 15, 2014 (UTC)


 * I Suggest We Wait Until The US Release for their real names. And then we should make articles for them.   Kirbot Wheelie rider.png Wheelie Rider! 00:50, January 31, 2014 (UTC)
 * I believe Sniper is changed into Archer, And "Toge Ro Gararga" is changed
 * into "Coily Rattler." ~rorosilky5

Copy Abilities
Do you think we should put little one sentence descriptions for Copy Abilities in their section? Under Abilities, then Copy Abilities; for Beam something like "Kirby dons a jester's hat and can zap enemies will a variety of long range attacks" or for Sword, "Kirby wears a long green cap and slashes his foes with incredible precision and speed". It may seem redundant, but I think it's nice to see a brief description so the actual whole ability article doesn't have to be clicked. Just an idea, though. Kirpow (talk) 15:04, January 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * By this point, anyone who's been with the series for a while will know the Copy Abilities by heart. It's not a bad suggestion, but I think the section is perfect the way it is.

 * I guess we'll have to call it a regular Copy Ability until the English version is released.

Boss Endurance or The Arena?
Just a little confused as to whether this feature in KTD would be called Boss Endurance or The Arena. I would assume it would go by "The Arena", considering there's also "The True Arena". In addition to this, it seems "The Arena" appears in newer games, whether as older games seem to call it "Boss Endurance". But, on the page for KTD, it's recently been changed to "Boss Endurance" rather than "The Arena". Any opinions? DoodleDragon   Artist 'til the bitter end!  20:20, February 8, 2014 (UTC)

 * Have you used Google Translate to translate it from the game or something? If so, I would like to see a screenshot of the translation, please. I'm very sorry for being sceptical, but I feel it would be more logical if there was "The Arena" and "The True Arena" in this game, rather than "Boss Endurance" and "The True Arena".  DoodleDragon [[Image:-.gif]]  Artist 'til the bitter end!  21:27, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * There is alos the video on youtube. DeDeDe Devious (talk) 21:33, February 8, 2014 (UTC)DeDeDe Devious
 * There is no English gameplay video, however.  DoodleDragon [[Image:-.gif]]  Artist 'til the bitter end!  21:36, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't know about the title, but the mode itself is what is known as a Boss Endurance mode, so until the English title(s) are officially revealed, Boss Endurance is perfectly acceptable. --GiokuAvatar.png G i o k u talkuser 21:37, February 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * I see. Thank you. It just confused me a little, since it's known as two different things in the games, and my immediate thought was that "The True Arena" tends to follow up from "The Arena".  DoodleDragon [[Image:-.gif]]  Artist 'til the bitter end!  21:45, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * There we go, nine messages discussing a problem arising from the community not waiting for an official English release. I don't mean to sound nasty all the time, but discussions of this nature will plague us until NoA gets off its seat and translates things. I'm not even bothering with KTD info 'til the game's in my hands.

 * Wouldn't it be a better idea to keep it "Arena" since it's referred to as such everywhere else on the wiki? Also "boss endurance" and "True Arena" just don't go together. We've been calling it "Arena" since we learned about it, so I guess my point is consistency. Kirpow (talk) 23:26, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * I hate to add to this mosh pit of uncertainness, but in most K:TD gameplay videos it is referred to as "Boss Endurance". HOwever, we won't know for sure until the game is released internationally. Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  23:48, February 8, 2014 (UTC)


 * Im keeping my fingers crossed that it is called Boss Endurance. DeDeDe Devious (talk) 00:08, February 9, 2014 (UTC)DeDeDe Devious

Everyone be Patient!
I'm gonna side with NBK on this, I, too, am starting to get a little tired of cleaning up/discussing all this stuff regarding K:TD. If you're not sure about something regarding the game, don't worry about it. The game has not been released outside of Japan yet, we can't know everything yet, or anything that'll be different in the English release. We've got more than enough information already, now we can wait until it gets released outside of Japan.

So again, if there's anything you're not sure about and/or have questions about, hold those questions until later. Be assured that everything will be added in due time; just not right now. Thanks everyone.

Enemy Names
Plopped the enemy names into google translate and here were the results


 * Unnamed beetle enemy-Bitori (ビートリー):Seems realistic.
 * Unnamed bell enemy-Dingle (ディングル:Seems very realistic being an enemy that gives bell.
 * Unnamed clown enemy-Fannie b Butts (ファニーロバッツ):Wow, um, I hope this isn't it's final name O_O
 * Unnamed archer enemy-Supainamu (スパイナム): Really don't get the name origin, but It's better than Mr. Fannie Butts up there.
 * Unnamed one-eyed ghost enemy-Horror data lamp (ホラータランプ:Probably is horror lamp with data added for coding purposes.
 * Unnamed ghost with a skull face-Fuwaroba (フワローバ):Also don't know name origin.
 * Unnamed golden cobra-like enemy that spits fire-Flame Garaga (フレイム・ガラーガ):This one actually makes tons of sense as they reside in the same temple Toge Lo Garaga is in and share similar names.
 * Unnamed one-eyed Gordo-like enemy-Ghost Gorudo (ゴーストゴルドー: Probably is really translated into Ghost Gordo
 * Unnamed ray enemy that resembles Blipper-Mamanti (ママンティ): Is a pun on Manta Ray so it makes sense.

Require Hypernova
-Plazzap
 * Unnamed enemies that bear a resemblance to the Bullet Bills of the Super Mario franchise-Big Missle (ビッグミサイル)-Really HAL, that's the best name you got.
 * Unnamed giant eel enemy-Land Barbar (ランドバルバル):Intresting...
 * Unnamed bug enemy which hides in tree trunks-Pipe worm (パイプワーム):Now that I think about it, these are supposed to be obstacles so names are gonna be generic.
 * Unnamed ghost that can possess items-Ace Fuwa rover (エースフワローバ):Okay, what the heck
 * Unnamed large ghost that possesses items-King Fuwa rover (キングフワローバ):Obviously the king of the Fuwa Rovers.
 * Unnamed giant mole enemy that throws Star Blocks-Maurice Brothers (comes in yellow/orange, red, and purple variations) (モーリスブラザーズ):Thats actually pretty interesting.
 * Unnamed giant bird enemy (comes in blue, green, and purple variations-Gigant Cox (ギガントコックス):Makes no sense being a bird enemy but oh well
 * Four unnamed dragon-like enemies with shields-Egger Wings (エッガーウィングス):Yeah, I'm pretty sure the birds are the Egger Wings and this dragon is Gigant Cox


 * Good Job! However, I think HAL will want to change names like 'Fannie b Butts' and 'Horror data lamp'. --Doos Rock! -Therater2 (talk) 12:58, February 10, 2014 (UTC)

Here's what some of those names look like to me:
 * "Bitori" (ビートリー) is most probably Beetley.
 * "Fannie b Butts" (ファニーロバッツ) is more like Funny Lovatts (My guess is Lovatts, but I honestly don't know what it refers to - could it be named after an actual performer?).
 * "Supainamu" (スパイナム) seems to be Spy No. (as in, Spy Number) or Spy Nam to go with the "Sniper" theme, but I could be wrong. I half-expect these to change in localization (isn't Archer/Ranger more appropriate?).
 * "Horror data lamp" (ホラータランプ) doesn't have data in it. It does have an odd "ta" in it ("Horror-ta-Lamp"?).
 * "Ghost Gorodo" will definitely turn into Ghost Gordo.
 * The "rover" enemies are related to that -roba ghost enemy.
 * "Maurice Brothers" (モーリスブラザーズ) is a play on Moley's name. It'll probably be replaced by another, more clear pun in English.
 * Does the giant bird enemy resemble a rooster? I'm waiting until I play the game myself, but that might explain the name...
 * The Egger Wings (エッガーウィングス) could possibly have been named after Eggerland, a previous HAL series whose main characters were the basis of Lololo & Lalala (or possibly the same characters, since they look identical). I don't remember any dragons, though. LinkTheLefty (talk) 01:34, February 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Where did you find the info that you translated? Are there enemy credits in the game? NerdyBoutKirby  X-Naut.png  You rang, dude?  22:50, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

North American Release Date
This article claims a May release date for K:TD in North America. I'm not sold on the credibility, but hopefully the Nintendo Direct tomorrow will have some information.

 * Good find. I've been actively awaiting the new Nintendo Direct, hoping it answers all the questions about K:TD's release date... Meta Kirby52  Kake-1-.png  It's all mine!  03:30, February 13, 2014 (UTC)


 * Its been confirmed in the Nintendo Direct :) it even has a trailer!. Kirbot Robotsig.jpg Hello and Goodbye! HnK Mike.png Credit to Doh!Missed! for Sig pic 23:02, February 13, 2014 (UTC)

North American Screenshots
Now that we've got the new trailer, some of our Japanese screenshots can be replaced - I'm willing to get them, but if anyone else wants to do it, please:


 * Make sure there are no YouTube controls in the screenshot;
 * Make sure the surrounding system is not in the screenshot (just the screen).

Thanks! If nobody else does it, I can get around to it later today or into this weekend.

 * Your heart's in the right place, Gioku, but I don't think something as minor as irrelevant comments is truly worthy of such punishment. If she blatantly rebelled against your every instruction/warning, for example, then there might be grounds. Til then, MeloettaJones, just don't do it again.

Links and Spoilers
1. The are a million links on this page. Could someone please go through the entire article with a fine-toothed comb and remove the unnecessary ones? For example, Kirby, Hypernova, and Beetle don't need a link in every section. It's a huge job, to be sure.

2. I noticed a short while back that spoilers were outside their little area. I already removed about four spoiler images from the gallery and removed final boss comparisons from the gameplay section. Again, could someone go through with another fine-toothed comb and remove any spoilers that aren't strictly needed? I would do it myself, but I'd like to preserve what little mystery the game's plot holds for me.
