Kirby Fighters Deluxe is a Kirby spin-off game for the Nintendo 3DS. It is a stand-alone, upgraded version of Kirby Fighters, a Sub-Game in Kirby: Triple Deluxe. It was released in tandem with Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe in 2014 for Japan, North America, and South Korea, and in 2015 for Europe and Australia.
A sequel to this game, Kirby Fighters 2, was released for the Nintendo Switch on September 2020 worldwide.
Differences from Kirby Fighters
While all content from Kirby Fighters is carried over into this version, new features and stages have been added, which are listed as follows:
New Stages
Five new stages are added to the default seven stages from Kirby Fighters, bringing the total number to twelve (thirteen if Waddle Dee Train Tracks is unlocked):
- Butter Building
- Fountain of Dreams (replaces Another Dimension from Kirby Fighters)
- Haldera Volcano
- Dyna Blade's Nest
- Springy Hand Land
StreetPass
If the player has StreetPass data for Kirby: Triple Deluxe, two new Copy Abilities and one stage are unlocked.
Copy Abilities
Two new Copy Abilities are added to the default roster of 10 abilities from Kirby Fighters, provided that the player has StreetPass data for Kirby: Triple Deluxe, bringing the total number of abilities in the game to twelve.
Stage
Changes to Single Player Mode
Rounds
- Some rounds in Single Player Mode now have Team Battles in which the Kirbys can team up in groups of two or three.
- It is possible to encounter opponents with the Beetle and Bell abilities, regardless if the player has unlocked the abilities or not.
- Two new boss battles are added to the game, which are covered in the next section:
Bosses
- Kracko is fought as a Boss in Round 5, who previously only appears as the Bubbly Clouds stage hazard enemy in Kirby Fighters. It is treated as a Team Battle, with the player being accompanied by a Buddy with the same ability as them.
- The Final Round, rather than being against Shadow Kirby, is instead a battle in which Kirby fights Team DDD (the number varies in difficulty levels): King Dedede with multiple pink Mini Dededes and two medium-sized orange Combo Dededes.
- The Final Round is also fought on the Fountain of Dreams instead of Another Dimension.
Gameplay
Major changes to the gameplay of Kirby Fighters Deluxe include:
Team Battle
Team Battles are introduced in Single Player, Multiplayer, and Training modes. Team Battles can have teams of two or three Kirbys. Kirbys on the same team can perform Face-to-Face to share recovery food with their partners just like in the main series.
Team Cannon
- Main article: Team Cannon
A special item exclusive to Team Battles called Team Cannon is also introduced, which resembles the Combo Cannon from Kirby Super Star. At least two Kirbys on the same team are required to charge the cannon and use its powerful laser beam attack.
Unlockable Aesthetics
All alternate colors for Kirby from Kirby Fighters are carried over to the game, and new unlockable aesthetics are added as follows:
Rare Outfits
Alternate Costumes called Rare Outfits are added for each Copy Ability. Rare Outfits are unlocked when completing Single Player Mode on any difficulty with the respective ability. They can be selected by pressing X in the ability menu.
Rare Outfits for each Copy Ability in Kirby Fighters Deluxe | ||
---|---|---|
Copy Ability | Costume of Rare Outfit | Weapon of Rare Outfit |
Sword | Blade Knight's helmet | Blade Knight's sword |
Cutter | Sir Kibble's helmet | Sir Kibble's cutter blade |
Beam | Marx's hat | Beam staff with a purple orb |
Parasol | N/A | Traditional oil-paper umbrella |
Hammer | Black-yellow striped headband | Metallic black hammer with metal hitting sound on impact |
Bomb | Purple-orange patterned party hat | Pink bombs with heart patterns |
Whip | Black cowboy hat | Whip with a blue handle |
Archer | Green Robin Hood hat | White bow with a purple star |

Ninja | White ninja outfit | Same katana |
Beetle | Hat of Hydra from Kirby Air Ride | Horn of Hydra hat |
Bell | Hat of bianzhong (ancient Chinese bronze bell) | Two bianzhong bells with a bianzhong hitting sound on impact |
When any Rare Outfits are unlocked, they may also appear on CPU Kirbys. Rare Outfits don't change any aspects of the ability in core gameplay such as Kirby's stamina and character/attack hitboxes. Some Rare Outfits may change the sounds in addition to changing how each ability looks.
Shadow Kirby Alternate Color
While Shadow Kirby no longer appears as a boss in Single Player Mode (being replaced by Team DDD), he is unlockable as an alternate color for Kirby, provided that the player has beaten Single Player on Very Hard difficulty with any ability.
Copy Abilities
Kirby Fighters Deluxe has 12 usable Copy Abilities in all, carrying over the original 10 abilities from the original Kirby Fighters, as well as adding two extra abilities: Beetle & Bell, which can be unlocked if the player has StreetPass data for Kirby: Triple Deluxe.

Final Round: Team DDD
- Main article: Team DDD
The final battle is against King Dedede and his group of clones made by the Star Rod Hammer Dedede Custom at the Fountain of Dreams. First, the player has to battle all of the Mini Dededes, who after jumping in from the background, are defeated in one hit, so they don't pose much of a threat. After that, Dedede and his two orange Combo Dededes appear to battle Kirby. Once the Combo Dededes are defeated, King Dedede grows over twice his normal size and attacks Kirby. Once he is defeated, the player unlocks a rare outfit for their current copy ability (if they don't already have it).
Trivia
- On the title screen, there is a chance that the Purple Kirby will be briefly replaced with King Dedede, then become Purple Kirby again.
- If Single Player Mode is beaten on Very Hard difficulty, Shadow Kirby will also appear on the title screen, replacing the top-left Pink Kirby. The latter still appears, just repositioned right above Red Kirby.
- If all the Rare Outfits are unlocked, the Kirbys on the title screen will don said outfits for each ability.
- In a Miiverse post by the developers, a working title was considered for Kirby Fighters Deluxe, named Royal Rampage! Pink Fighting Championship.[1]
