'''''Kirby Fighters Deluxe''''' is a [[Kirby (series)|''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]]''. The premise of the game centers around [[Kirby (species)|Kirbys]] [[Color|of differing colors]] battling each-other using various [[Copy Ability|Copy Abilities]] at distinct [[Battle Stage|locations]] from the ''Kirby'' series in a fighting game format. Using their distinct Copy Ability attacks as well as utilizing various items, the goal is to be the last Kirby (or team of Kirbys) standing.

''Kirby Fighters Deluxe'' 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, exclusively in digital format via the Nintendo eShop. A sequel to this game, ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', was released for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on September 2020 worldwide.

==Copy Abilities==
''Kirby Fighters Deluxe'' has 12 usable [[Copy Ability|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===
[[File:KFD Team DDD battle screenshot 2.png|thumb|200px|Archer Kirby battling Team DDD]]
{{main|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|copy ability]] (if they don't already have it).

==Differences from Kirby Fighters==
While almost 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===
Six new stages are added to the original set from Kirby Fighters, bringing the total number for this game to twelve:
*[[Butter Building (Battle Stage)|Butter Building]]
*[[Fountain of Dreams (Battle Stage)|Fountain of Dreams]] (replaces [[Another Dimension (Battle Stage)|Another Dimension]] from Kirby Fighters)
*[[Haldera Volcano]]
*[[Dyna Blade's Nest (Battle Stage)|Dyna Blade's Nest]]
*[[Springy Hand Land]]
*[[Waddle Dee Train Tracks]] (Unlocked using [[StreetPass]] data for ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'')

====Copy Abilities====
Two new [[Copy Ability|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.
*[[Beetle]]
*[[Bell]]

===Changes to Single Player Mode===
[[File:KFD DDDD Miiverse - KFD Kracko battle.jpg|thumb|200px|Official screenshot from a Miiverse post, showcasing the [[Kracko]] boss fight]]

====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 of whether 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#Kirby Fighters (Deluxe)|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 (Battle Stage)|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|Team Cannon}}
[[File:KFD DDDD Miiverse - KFD Team Cannon.jpg|thumb|200px|Official screenshot from a Miiverse post, showing a team of Kirbys using the Team Cannon to fire at their opponent]]
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====
[[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.

|-
!colspan=4|{{center|<small>Outfit names are based on the names given in ''Kirby Fighters 2''.</small>}}
|}

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 [[health]] 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 at least once with any ability.

==Trivia==
[[File:KFD Dedede Title Screen.png|thumb|right|200px|King Dedede making a cameo appearance on the title screen.]]
*After Single Player mode is beaten on Very Hard difficulty for the first time, [[Shadow Kirby]] will also appear on the title screen, replacing the top-left Pink Kirby.
**If all the [[Costumes|Rare Outfits]] are unlocked, the Kirbys on the title screen will don said outfits for each ability.
**On the title screen, there is a chance that the indigo colored Kirby will be briefly replaced with [[King Dedede]], then become that Kirby again.
*According to a [[Miiverse]] post by the developers, a working title considered for the game was 大激闘！桃色武道大会<ref>https://kirbydevpostarchive.tumblr.com/post/166090209346/hal-laboratory-%E3%82%A4%E3%82%B7%E3%83%80hallaboratory-07222015-600</ref> (''Royal Rampage! Pink Fighting Championship'').<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20171108043211/https://miiverse.nintendo.net/posts/AYMHAAACAAADVHkZefbJcQ</ref> The idea behind this title was to avoid using Kirby's name, which emphasizes how many Kirbys come to fight together. In the end, they decided to go with a simple title that would clearly communicate the idea behind the game.
*Most, if not all of the moves in this game that had invincibility frames in games prior (Hammer Twirl and Hammer Swing, for example) no longer make the user invincible during regular battles, a trait that also occurs in the other Kirby Fighters games. However, the invincibility frames are retained during boss fights.
**Oddly enough, one exception to this major change is Bell Kirby's Bell Block move, which retains invincibility frames as Kirby gets out of his bell hat when letting go of the guard button, allowing him to avoid many attacks that others wouldn't after guarding.
